This time, after leaving the Great Xia Sword Sect, Li Guanqi did not set off immediately. Instead, he turned back to gaze toward the Sect, feeling slightly reassured as he looked at the massive Thunder Sword hovering above the Seven Peaks. For some reason, he had the distinct feeling that this departure would last a very, very long time...

With that thought in mind, Li Guanqi left the Sect for the first time feeling a trace of reluctance. He took out the Guan Yun Jade Pendant and relayed many instructions to Xi Yunhuai, as well as to Qian Qiusui and Yu Hua. Guan Yun Pavilion could now be left entirely in their hands. Qian Qiusui's current Realm still needed stabilization, and Yu Hua... what she needed to do was cultivate with all her might. No matter what, Li Guanqi did not want any of the people around him to fall behind on the path of cultivation.

"Huff..."

Li Guanqi drew a deep breath and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his entire aura had transformed. Only one thought remained in his mind now.
