Master an Immortal?
There were also dense rows of ancient characters in unknown script.
No, they should be people's names, right?
"Quick, look—more ancient characters appeared at the very bottom of the sword..."
[Sevenfold Echo Sect Elder, Zhang Huayuan, Cultivation: Ninth Level Origin Return Realm...]
With a flash of black light, the information of the elder just killed appeared prominently at the bottom of the sword.
"Oh, I understand now—this sword records all the experts killed by this sword!"
"Too terrifying!"
"Something's wrong—look, Zhang Huayuan's name seems to be disappearing..."
"Quick look, Zhang Huayuan's three characters completely vanished!"
"Tsk tsk tsk... what's this about?"
"Hiss... I figured it out. Probably his cultivation level wasn't worthy of this golden heaven sword's notice—it found him embarrassing, so it simply removed him."
"A ninth level Origin Return realm boss doesn't even qualify to have his name on the sword after death?"
The martial artists in the city hadn't recovered from the heaven sword's pressure when this speculation stunned them.
A ninth level Origin Return realm expert was someone who could overturn heaven and earth in the Anluo Imperial Dynasty!
But after death, he didn't even qualify to have his name on the sword?
What kind of terrifyingly powerful divine ability could this be from such a peerless master!
Hundreds of thousands of people in the city were also terrified, kneeling toward the heaven sword.
Muttering prayers begging heaven to forgive their sins.
Just now, everyone in the city felt closer to death than ever before in their lives!
"Qingyi... this is..."
Li Haiguo came to his senses, pointing at the golden heaven sword and asking with a trembling voice.
"Sigh... Master took action."
"On my first descent from the mountain, not only did I exhaust the life-saving methods Master gave me, but I even troubled Master to personally intervene to resolve this matter."
"I truly feel ashamed of Master's careful cultivation!"
Li Qingyi stared blankly at that mysterious heaven sword, feeling a unique aura wash over her.
Obviously, this was her first time witnessing such heaven sword divine might.
Though seeing it for the first time, she could clearly feel the golden sword qi flowing on the sword body was quite familiar.
It must share the same origin as the Primordial Sword Manual she practiced.
"I have a question—don't know if I should ask."
Li Haiguo stared at the golden heaven sword, unable to recover for a long time, finally asking hesitantly after a while.
"Father, please speak freely. After this, Qingyi will focus on cultivation and minimize contact with the family."
Li Qingyi spoke calmly.
"As for the Sevenfold Echo Sect's troubles, Qingyi will resolve them herself."
Hearing this, Li Haiguo was somewhat stunned, then smiled bitterly twice.
Right, the current Li family had become a burden to Qingyi.
With her Saint-level talent, she would likely attract more powerful enemies' covetousness in the future, which the Li family truly couldn't protect her from.
"By the way, daughter, what realm has your master reached?"
What Li Haiguo was most concerned about was undoubtedly Li Qingyi's master's strength—whether it was sufficient to protect his daughter.
"Master's realm..."
"Daughter isn't too clear, but I feel that even if Master isn't an immortal, he's not far from it."
Li Qingyi pondered slightly.
"Not far from an immortal?!"
Li Haiguo was first shocked, then actually nodded in agreement.
"Manifesting such terrifyingly unparalleled divine abilities from across space—calling him an immortal wouldn't be excessive."
At this moment, Zhao Kang, hidden behind the light screen, heard their conversation and couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
Immortal?
Heh... this father and daughter pair had quite the imagination!
"Qingyi, this matter is concluded. Return to Longkou Mountain quickly."
Seeing the crisis resolved, Zhao Kang had no intention of further involvement in Li family affairs. After speaking, he was about to withdraw the light screen.
The 2,800 zhang tall golden heaven sword quickly shrank accordingly.
In the blink of an eye, it became palm-sized and shot back as the light screen disappeared.
"Yes, this disciple respectfully sees off Master!"
Seeing this, Li Qingyi immediately knelt on one knee and bowed to the light screen.
After the light screen completely vanished, the sword talisman on her chest fell back down, still carrying a trace of warmth.
Master had not only given her life-saving items but also secretly arranged such backup measures—his caring for her was evident.
Caressing that sword talisman, Li Qingyi became even more eager to return to Longkou Mountain and stay by Master's side.
Looking at the devastated Li family, her heart felt no great waves. Instead, she cast her gaze toward broader horizons.
Today she had not only killed the Sevenfold Echo Sect's first True Disciple but also slain two Origin Return realm elders.
The Sevenfold Echo Sect would certainly be heartbroken and wouldn't easily let the Li family go.
And she, Li Qingyi, had to work hard to improve her cultivation before the Sevenfold Echo Sect brought down punishment!
In the past, this might have been impossible to achieve.
But now, with Master by her side, nothing was impossible!
"I'll leave the city affairs to Father. I've decided to return to Longkou Mountain immediately and think about how to solve the trouble the Sevenfold Echo Sect will bring."
Li Qingyi spoke with determination.
"Go in peace."
Li Haiguo replied.
With the Sevenfold Echo Sect having lost two Origin Return realm bosses, they definitely wouldn't act rashly again right now.
Li Haiguo nodded heavily and, with a group of Li family disciples, watched Li Qingyi fly away.
This day was truly one of sudden changes for Anluo City in the Anluo Imperial Dynasty.
Originally, many families had hoped for the Li family's downfall so they could plunder their family assets.
But now everyone was dumbfounded!
Who could have imagined that even that ninth level Origin Return realm elder from the Sevenfold Echo Sect was killed by the Li family!
