With a serious expression, Li Huowang firmly held the Zhuge spine sword in his hand. At this moment, he stared at the green snake coiled on a green bamboo leaf in the distance.

As he gathered his energy and grasped the hilt of the sword, he forcefully swung the spine sword towards that direction.

In the next moment, an invisible sword qi seemed to sweep out from the blade. This semi-circular sword qi would distort anything it touched.

For example, the green bamboo leaves turned yellow and filled with wormholes, and the green snake with its snake core turned into a flower snake.

The sound of bamboo leaves rubbing against the bamboo pole continued to echo, and the broken bamboo pole fell down. As the sword qi gradually dissipated, everything that had been distorted disappeared along with it.

Li Huowang continued to experiment with his new weapon in the bamboo forest, gradually transforming the entire forest.

After several days of practice, Li Huowang had become proficient in controlling the spine sword. Not only could he use the "sword qi" to cut something into three pieces, but if he encountered something he couldn't solve, he could also expand the "sword qi" and send them all to Daqi.

In the end, this "sword qi" was more like another layer of history. Just thinking about it, one would know that this kind of thing couldn't be blocked by ordinary artifacts or supernatural powers.

Moreover, it was invisible and colorless, making it difficult to dodge. What was more important was that it was penetrating. Even if someone stood in front, it would be useless.

An hour later, Li Huowang stood in place, panting heavily, and looked at the spine sword in his hand with astonishment.

It had to be said that this artifact, which had been carefully refined, was indeed powerful. It was more powerful than any other artifact he had.

Fortunately, he had fought the woman in close combat before. If she had kept her distance and used this spine sword against him, it would have been really difficult to deal with.

"With this sword, my strength has increased by at least forty percent." Li Huowang muttered to himself as he picked up a white cloth strip from the ground and wrapped it around the sword.

"Dad, why do you have to wrap it?" Li Sui, who was squatting beside him, asked curiously.

"Because I snatched this thing from the Monarch Bureau. If I don't wrap it up and carry it openly on my back, if the Monarch Bureau sees it, you can imagine the consequences."

"What consequences?"

"You... will be hunted down by them."

Li Huowang picked up some bamboo fragments from the ground and tied them to the sword, making the whole spine sword look bloated. From the outside, it looked more like a blunt heavy sword.

After wrapping it up, Li Huowang took out a few prepared black talismans and pasted them on it. These talismans didn't have any meaning.

"Dad, what are these talismans for?"

"Just randomly drawn, used to deceive people. I can't even understand what I drew myself, so naturally others won't understand. Most people will stay away from things they don't understand."

"So this is how you deceive people?"

With everything ready, Li Huowang put the sword back on his back and walked towards the side of the carriage with Li Sui.

"Dad, aren't these swords heavy? Do you want me to carry them for you?"

After hearing Li Sui's words, Li Huowang threw the copper coin sword of the Luo Sect at him. "Carry this for me."

Li Sui's seven or eight tentacles quickly wrapped around the sword, constantly drilling in and out of the coin holes. Obviously, he was very happy to have a new weapon. "Thank you, Dad."

"What are you thanking me for? I didn't give it to you, I just let you carry it. Give it back to me when I need it."

"Oh."

Hearing Li Sui's low voice, Li Huowang couldn't help but smile. He reached into his hat and gently patted the skinless forehead.

"Let's forget it, when I don't need it, you can use it."

"Okay!"

Hearing the joy in the other's voice, Li Huowang shook his head helplessly. Although he looked so scary, this guy was like a child who hadn't grown up.

When he was still in his belly, he taught him to be so innocent because he was afraid that he would harm himself. Now it seems that it was a bad thing.

"Let's go, stop fooling around, let's go back."

When Li Huowang brought Li Sui back to the carriage, the wheels of the carriage started to turn again, rolling towards the outside of the forest.

Li Huowang still had no intention of going back to Niuxin Village directly. In order to know the news of the royal succession, he would secretly go to the post station to inquire about it every now and then.

If the emperor really ascended the throne, the news would definitely be notified to all the officials through the post stations scattered all over the place. He planned to wait until everything settled down before going back.

But what disappointed Li Huowang was that there was no movement from the capital.

As long as the emperor didn't ascend the throne, and those members of the royal family didn't die completely, he wouldn't be able to live in peace.

This made Li Huowang a little annoyed. In such a tense situation, it was difficult for him to find a quiet place to cultivate.

"Stop driving the horse, let it rest. It doesn't matter if it runs a long or short distance."

After Li Huowang finished speaking to Li Sui, who was driving the carriage, he looked at Bai Lingmiao, who was holding a book, and asked, "Can you still see what's written in the book now?"

Although there were still some pink dots in Bai Lingmiao's eyes, most of them were covered by white. If only her eyes were considered, she was indeed blind."Brother Li, I can see." Bai Lingmiao traced the characters with her slender, fair fingers, speaking softly, "Even though I can't see with my eyes, I can feel the difference where the ink has darkened. It's very clear."

"What book are you reading?" Li Huowang asked again.

"Some divine martial arts techniques. I can't perform miracles anymore, I've become defenseless, so I want to learn something to protect myself."

"The teachings of the White Lotus Sect are too useless. Don't worry, I'm here for you, I can protect you."

Bai Lingmiao shook her head gently, the strands of white hair on either side of her face swaying with the motion. "Brother Li, I can't always rely on you. You will have to leave at some point. Even if the teachings of the White Lotus Sect are not good, they're better than nothing."

Li Huowang was slightly taken aback by her words. He felt that Bai Lingmiao's character seemed to have changed, becoming stronger.

"Hold on, don't study that just yet. I've just realized there's something that would be perfect for you right now." Li Huowang pulled back the carriage curtain and began rummaging through Li Sui's stomach.

Soon, the book of talismans that he had originally given to Li Sui to study was pulled out again.

"Dad, that's mine." Li Sui's voice carried a hint of grievance.

"I know it's yours. What's wrong with letting your mother learn?" Li Huowang placed the book in Bai Lingmiao's hands. "Study this. These talismans can be used for self-defense, divination, and fortune-telling."

"Besides, you're different from us. You can use this freely. Your eyes are already blind, so its side effects won't affect you."
