Chapter 81 The Devil's Call
Outside the door, Yue Qingru sat down on the steps beside the corridor, looking at the unconscious Gu Changnian with his hands on his chin, muttering: "The second son of Qi Guan said that he had a demon in his heart. Maybe that's why he attacked Master."
Lu Li leaned against the pillar with his arms folded, looking at Gu Changnian's lifeless face calmly, without saying a word.
He was thinking about the strange bond between He Qing and Gu Changnian.
In ancient times, some mortals could use their will to break through boundaries, gain a response from the gods, and achieve a certain wish. But to others, the achieved wish would seem to be without reason and without any trace.
Just like the unwillingness and resentment felt by the woman in the village when she was on the verge of death, it awakened his consciousness.
However, if He Qing's love for Gu Changnian was too strong, which led to this bond between the two, then what was the meaning of this bond that forced himself to protect Gu Changnian at the cost of mutual loss?
Also, through whom was this relationship established?
Lu Li looked at the sky dyed red by the clouds of fire, squinted his eyes, and his gaze gradually became cold.
Could it be it?
Just as he was thinking about it, several figures suddenly appeared on the horizon and flew over in flying vehicles, heading straight for the sky above Qi Guan's house. However, before they landed, they were blocked outside the barrier surrounding the mansion.
Yue Qingru also saw those people, stood up and put her hands under her eyebrows to look carefully for a while, and said in surprise: "It's Master Xuanqing and Senior Sister Hua!"
Lu Li's heart sank: They came so quickly, it seemed that they had broken the seal of Qi Guan's family in advance, and found that the monster below had disappeared.
Xuan Qingzi sat cross-legged on the compass in the air and said loudly: "Brother Qi Guan, I have come from a far distance, why are you still welcoming guests with your door closed?"
Qi Guanxiao's echoing laughter could be heard from all around the mansion: "Xuanqing, you come here with such a fierce attitude, you don't look like a guest at all, you are clearly here to collect a debt."
Although Xuan Qingzi was smiling, a bit of sternness appeared in his eyes: "Aren't we here to collect debts? Brother Qi Guan, you should return the things under the Genjing Mountains to us."
"Return it?" Qi Guanxiao laughed loudly, "When did those things become your Tianshu Mountain's? I saw that your Lingshan Mountain has ignored them for many years, so I wanted to share some of the burden with you. It is also a good intention."
Yue Qingru was confused by what she heard. She touched her sore neck and asked Lu Li beside her: "What were they talking about?" But when she turned around, she saw that Lu Li was no longer there. "Where are they?"

Lu Li arrived at Qi Guanxiao's door and had a smooth journey.
Qi Guanxiao had just consumed his cultivation in order to treat Lu Li, and his cultivation was broken by He Qing. Now, his spirit had to block Xuan Qingzi's attack while guarding the entire Liangzhou City. When Lu Li pushed the door open, he saw that he was sitting cross-legged on the couch and it was already very strenuous.
Lu Li frowned slightly: "Give it to me, you don't have time to hesitate."
While Qi Guanxiao was controlling his soul to restrain Xuan Qingzi, he looked at Lu Li with sweat all over his forehead and said breathlessly: "I can still hold on... As long as you let it out, with its resistance, I can still fight..."
Lu Li let out a long sigh: "You can't control it."
Qi Guanxiao struggled to breathe heavily like a bellows. Outside, Xuan Qingzi had already increased his attack power, and his soul was almost unable to hold on.
Lu Li looked at him for a long while, and said calmly: "Do you want to test its power so much? You will have no regrets even if you are swallowed?" Qi Guanxiao raised his eyelids that seemed as heavy as a thousand pounds, and the light in his eyes was not like that of a person who was about to die.
He said with difficulty: "I have been with it for forty years. Through it, I have comprehended many profound barrier techniques, but its true power has been suppressed... God, I know that I will never be able to become an immortal in this lifetime. Before I die, I can tell the world what I have learned throughout my life, which can be regarded as not wasting my life..."
In order to guard this seal, Qi Guanxiao has been stationed here for forty years as a deal for surrender when the devil appeared in the world, and has never left. The skills he has comprehended can neither be shown in front of others nor taught to his two grandsons easily. It is like covering a pearl with grass, which is really a regret in his life.
Lu Li was silent for a long time, but finally stepped forward. In Qi Guanxiao's shock, he took the initiative to break some of the forbidden spells on his chest, and placed his palm on Qi Guanxiao's Baihui acupoint, saying gently: "Grant your wish."
……
……
This was a scene Qi Guanxiao had never seen before.
In a crimson and dark space, the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood. All kinds of demonic and ghostly wails and screams could be heard from all around. The blood-red scene in front of my eyes seemed as if countless black shadows were passing by, and in the midst of the shrill screams, they were twisted and torn into dancing black snowflakes by invisible forces.
Qi Guanxiao was sweating profusely. Fear and despair kept pouring into his mind, causing his spirit to suffer tremendous torture. He couldn't believe it. Could this be the legendary call of the devil?
The devil's consciousness is like hell...
■
Xuan Qingzi struck hard and completely defeated Qi Guanxiao's soul. Without the barrier to block it, the monstrous demonic energy and miasma gushed out immediately.
Hua Chiyu quickly performed a Shangqing Jue for the others and said in panic, "Master!"
Xuan Qingzi looked at the shaking Liangzhou City, and his thoughts suddenly drifted back to many years ago, when he and Qi Guanxiao drank wine under the moon and discussed the boundless Dao. He thought with horror that he had come here in person to persuade Qi Guanxiao to stop, but he didn't expect that he would rather go to this step than hand over the demon beast.
Xuan Qingzi shook his head in grief: "He still betrayed the Immortal Sect..."
As Xuan Qingzi finished his words, Liangzhou City, which served as a formation, began to collapse gradually. The ground arched up and then fell down, as if some force was about to break out of the ground, causing a huge noise like an earthquake.
Seeing this, Xuan Qingzi understood everything——
Qi Guanxiao actually hid the demon beast under the entire Liangzhou City so blatantly. No wonder he has been secluded for decades. It turns out that he entered the formation and suppressed the demon beast!
As if to confirm Xuan Qingzi's thoughts, the demon beast under Liangzhou City has begun to show its body. Countless huge "thorns" emerged from the ground, and then a whole piece of carapace lifted up the ruins of the city. Earth and rocks fell, and the city gates were shattered into ashes. It looked like four limbs like a mountain standing in between.
The huge beast head that appeared out at some point let out a roar that echoed throughout the earth, and even the few people standing in the air were shaken to the point of convulsions.
At this time, Qi Guanxiao's soul appeared again in human form, floating on the turtle's carapace. His huge body blocked out the sky and the sun. He smiled at Xuan Qingzi with full energy and said, "Xuan Qing, let me show you the skills I have learned over the years!"
