Chapter 450: Chapter 8: Burning Away Sins, Knowing the Shallows of the Martial World; Vast World, With Sword Madman Siming

The Mystic Turtle Dharma Form arrived at a rather inconspicuous stone house.

But this house was located behind the quiet room, requiring one first to pass through the heavily sealed quiet room by layers of Green Steel Rock, presenting a series of locks resembling a complex mechanical technique, which subtly raised Li Guanyi’s eyebrows.

He drew the Qiushui Sword from his waist.

The spirit of the Chi Xiao Sword attached itself to the Qiushui.

From the Qiushui Sword, a three-foot red cold brilliance was emitted.

It was just a heavy chop.

This very complex mechanical door lock was directly chopped apart; the youth lifted his leg in a straight kick, and the mechanical door heavily smashed to the ground with a loud bang. It was then that Li Guanyi realized the spirit of the Chi Xiao Sword was no longer dormant within his Dantian, lazily unmoving as before.

Although not as furiously enraged as those martial artists who encountered those who cultivated using human materials.

Yet Li Guanyi could control this sword with his Primordial Spirit.

With the sword as a vessel, he could unleash a strand of Chi Xiao’s Radiance.

Li Guanyi sheathed the Qiushui Sword back into its scabbard, held his dark gold mask over his face, which could defend against the assaults on the Primordial Spirit and various hidden attacks; then, with his right hand on the weapon, he slowly stepped inside.

Sure enough, hidden arrows shot forth.

Li Guanyi maneuvered the Shaoyang Sword, rapidly circulating it, parrying all the dark arrows, cutting, and shattering them. The remnants scattered on the ground before he then strolled in and saw the Mystic Turtle pacing around before a metal box.

In those mung bean-sized eyes, there was both desire and disdain.

The reaction of the Mystic Turtle Dharma Form was evidently different from before.

Li Guanyi shook his sword and split open the box.

A strange, sweet scent came forth; the young Taoist frowned, stepped back half a step, and said, "Qilin."

The Qilin Cat that had been lying on him all along poked its head out, yawned.

It spewed out a ball of Qilin Fire.

The Qilin Fire directly burned off that sweet scent completely.

Li Guanyi took out a finger-sized pastry made from shortcrust pastry, sprinkled with sesame and crispy with oil, stuffed it into the Qilin’s mouth as a reward, and then leisurely stepped closer, slightly frowning.

Inside was a single Elixir Pill, translucent throughout like Jade, not only devoid of any trace of evil but instead emanating a sense of grand righteousness. The Qilin, a creature of auspiciousness, unexpectedly showed an extreme repulsion and unease.

Li Guanyi looked around casually and pulled out a book, apparently a treasured object.

"Extreme Yin Blood Refining Hand, Upper Martial Arts."

"Upon achieving Great Success, one could tear out the blood from an enemy’s body with a single palm."

"Those wounded by this technique suffer from raging blood and qi, with wounds difficult to heal..."

It was the martial art of the Yin Yang Reincarnation Sect. Li Guanyi discarded it and continued searching, finding many letters. He quickly flipped through them, his expression gradually growing colder. On one hand, these letters were interactions between the branch of the Yin Yang Reincarnation Sect and other disciples; on the other hand, they exchanged messages with [Lady Hua Rui].

"A hundred and sixty-six women’s blood transformed into a single Elixir Pill."

"Youthfulness for one year."

"Such good trade exists in the world."

In the letters, Lady Hua Rui repeatedly urged the people of this branch to send it, further saying, "The first Elixir Pill taken had extraordinary effects, my husband frequents this place more affectionately, hasten the cultivation of the second pill, needing all personnel and materials."

"And all medicine personnel."

"I will send them all to you."

Li Guanyi stared at the word [medicine personnel], then saw a nearby scroll that read [technique of refining the Elixir of Immortality from the gallbladder and marrow of young boys and girls]. Li Guanyi closed his eyes for a long time. When he opened his eyes and saw the emotions in the eyes of the Mystic Turtle Dharma Form, it was both precious yet disdainful.

The young Taoist put away these letters.

And with a flick, the Shaoyang Sword carrying the Primordial Spirit was shot out.

The objects in this place were all smashed to smithereens.

He then poured kerosene here, directly set fire, and burned everything in this secret room to ashes,

"Using humans to make Elixirs, such things are nefarious arts and must be eradicated thoroughly!"

Li Guanyi exhaled, then swiftly inspected the structure of the place. Soon, the Green Bird Dharma Form faintly sensed vitality, prompting Li Guanyi, who grabbed his sword and rushed forward, discovered the prison of the Yin Yang Reincarnation Sect.

The prisoners were all young women, scantily clad, with traces of violation on their bodies.

Some had bruised eyes, others blood on their lips.

They were kept like livestock.

Seeing Li Guanyi arrive, they looked up. Then the few women at the front numbly stood up and walked forward, then began to undress, not out of proficiency but rather like a tormented instinct.

Their actions were restrained; the young Taoist’s palm pressed against their hands.

Li Guanyi took a slight breath.

"It’s nothing, no, I mean..."

"I’m here to rescue you."

"You..."

He looked at these numb young women, the youngest among them about his age.

Li Guanyi sighed softly and said, "You are safe now."

The women did not believe the young man’s words, not understanding what they had gone through until he lifted his sword and chopped open their chains. Then, even semi-coercively making them come out, once they saw the bodies all around, their eyes stirred, and then they showed a bit of sentiment.

Suddenly, someone cried out and threw themselves onto the dead old altar master.

They tore and beat him, and the rest of the women piled on.

The old man had strong Inner Strength and a body forged through training, yet he was literally torn apart, piece by piece, by these women who then broke down sobbing, finally showing signs of life at this moment.
