Xian Ni: The God of Killing Returns, Marries Li Muwan at the Beginning

Beyond the boundary lies the Linglong Palace.

Inside the magnificent palace, Consort Lan, dressed in a red Taoist robe, quietly looked at Xu Liguo, who was kneeling on the ground in a disheveled state, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"Not bad, it's actually a demonic sword spirit. Heh, as long as you become my sword spirit, I can spare your life."

Xu Liguo's eyes lit up, and he immediately rushed to Consort Lan, crying, "Master, Xu Liguo greets Master!"

Seeing Xu Liguo's pragmatism, Consort Lan laughed out loud, "The other sword spirits are all loyal, but I didn't expect you to surrender so easily. It seems I underestimated you."

Xu Liguo lay on the ground, his forehead pressed tightly against the cold gold brick, his shoulders still trembling, as if he was truly intimidated by Consort Lan's majesty and didn't even have the courage to raise his head.

But only Xu Liguo knew that he was cursing her in his heart: "You bitch! You want me to be your sword spirit? Dream on! If I weren't seriously injured and had most of my spiritual power depleted, I would have burned this lousy palace down and let you taste what it means to be a demon!"

Xu Liguo secretly glanced at the golden phoenix embroidered on Lan Fei's skirt out of the corner of his eye. The phoenix was lifelike, but in his eyes it became a symbol of mockery.

"Loyalty? I've lived all these years, and all I know is that preserving my life is the most important thing! What loyalty, what morality, they're all bullshit in the face of survival! When I regain my strength, I'll definitely tear down your Linglong Palace and let you taste what it's like to kneel down and beg for mercy!"

Looking at his respectful demeanor, Consort Lan felt even more pleased. She raised her slender hand, and a red spiritual energy slowly descended upon Xu Liguo's head, carrying an overbearing pressure that seemed to bind his soul to her.

Xu Liguo felt the intrusion of that spiritual power, and his body stiffened subconsciously for a moment before relaxing. He kept muttering, "Thank you for your kindness, Master! Xu Liguo will serve you with utmost loyalty, even at the cost of fire and water!"

But in his heart, he was cursing: "You damned woman, you're really ruthless! You even wanted to bind my soul? Luckily, I was prepared. The Soul-Concealing Jade I got from the depths of the Demon Abyss is still here, which can block your spiritual power detection!"

"Once you lower your guard, I'll find a chance to slip away, and then I'll bring back a few more devilish brothers to turn your Linglong Palace upside down!"

Consort Lan seemed quite pleased with his compliance. She withdrew her spiritual power and softened her voice, saying, "Since you are so sensible, I will naturally not treat you unfairly."

"Someone, take Xu Liguo down to rest, prepare the best healing medicine for him, and also send him a set of clothes that fit him well."

Two maids immediately entered from outside the hall, bowed respectfully to Consort Lan, and then turned to Xu Liguo, gesturing for him to enter.

Xu Liguo quickly got up from the ground, still keeping his head down and his body hunched over, looking timid and submissive, and followed the maid out.

As he passed the palace gate, Xu Liguo secretly glanced at the sky outside and sneered inwardly, "You bitch, just you wait! I'll put up with you for now, but once I recover, I'll make you understand what it means to lift a rock only to drop it on your own foot!"

As they walked along the corridor outside the palace, the maid walked lightly ahead, with Xu Liguo following behind. He secretly made a hand seal in his sleeve to confirm that the Soul-Concealing Jade was still functioning normally and had not been noticed by Consort Lan.

Xu Liguo secretly plotted: "Healing pills? Perfect, I'm exactly in need of those! Once I've recovered from my injuries and my spiritual power is back, I'll first ransack your Linglong Palace's treasure trove, and then make a quick getaway. You won't be able to find me then, and you'll be left anxiously waiting. Just thinking about it makes me feel so good!"

Two maids led him to an elegant room, exquisitely furnished, with a jade bottle containing healing pills on the table. One of the maids spoke:

"Mr. Xu, this is the Crimson Blood Pill bestowed upon you by Consort Lan. It will greatly benefit your injuries. Please rest here. If you need anything, just summon me." Xu Liguo hurriedly nodded and bowed, "Thank you both, sisters! Thank you for your kindness, Master! I am deeply grateful!"

The moment the maid left and the door closed, the respect on Xu Liguo's face vanished, replaced by disdain.

Xu Liguo picked up the jade bottle on the table, uncorked it, smelled it, and a cold smile appeared on his lips: "Crimson Blood Pill? It's not bad."

"But you're too naive to think you can buy me off with such a small favor! Consort Lan, huh? You just wait and see, we'll see what happens in the future!"

Xu Liguo poured out a Crimson Blood Pill and swallowed it without hesitation. The pill melted instantly in his mouth, and a gentle medicinal power spread throughout his body, relieving his injuries.

Xu Liguo sat down cross-legged, circulating his demonic power to refine the medicinal effects while cursing in his heart: "You bitch, I will repay you tenfold for the humiliation I suffered today! When my strength increases, I will turn your Linglong Palace into ruins and make you the most lowly slave under my command. Let's see how you put on airs in front of me then!"

The moonlight streamed through the windowpane into the room, falling on Xu Liguo, but it did nothing to dispel the demonic aura emanating from him.

Xu Liguo closed his eyes tightly, his face seemingly calm, but in his heart, a raging storm was brewing, filled with resentment towards Consort Lan and plans for revenge.

In his view, the current act of groveling was merely a temporary measure. As long as he could save his life and regain his strength, sooner or later he would make Consort Lan pay a heavy price for what she had done today.

"Master... I've already crushed the jade slip, you absolutely must come... otherwise, Little Xu will really die here."

Xu Liguo looked at the azure sky and smiled bitterly.

Since parting ways with Lin Che years ago, Xu Liguo has been traveling throughout the entire Yunhai Starfield. He then unexpectedly arrived outside the boundary, where he was eventually noticed and captured by Lan Fei.

Having finally gained Consort Lan's trust, Xu Liguo directly crushed the jade slip to inform Lin Che of his location.

……

For the next period of time, Xu Liguo cultivated in Linglong Palace. Although he appeared obsequious, he actually hated Consort Lan to the core.

Just as Consort Lan was preparing to condense Xu Liguo into her immortal sword, the sky, which was originally as blue as the sea, was suddenly torn apart.

Countless powerful energies spread outwards like raging waves. Under the powerful shockwave, the cultivators of Linglong Palace all looked up, staring in astonishment at the sky, not understanding what was happening.

However, at that very moment, a chilling, piercing voice, as if capable of tearing through the void, slowly resounded throughout the world.

"Consort Lan, come out here!" (End of Chapter)
