Master of the Xuanyin Sect of Mount Shu

Chapter 7 Human Blood and Corpse Blood
Guan Minghui used Yang Li's flying sword to cut off all ten of his fingernails.

Seeing the boy's excited face, urging his flying sword with bursts of true energy as if he could kill him on the spot at any moment, I couldn't help but find it amusing.

With a wave of his hand, a large amount of black evil energy surged out of thin air, the main banner appeared in the center, and a hundred-year-old mountain demon appeared, roaring and blocking Yang Li's flying sword.

Two Xuan Yin banners appeared in front of Yang Li, with the main deities on them being a bear and a python, both attacking Yang Li. Yang Li hurriedly tried to recall his flying sword to protect himself, but was stopped by the banners.

Unable to recall the flying sword, Yang Li was greatly surprised. He hurriedly made a hand seal to cast an invisibility spell and disappeared into thin air.

In the world of Shushan, there are many who know how to become invisible, but their cultivation levels and magical powers vary.

Yang Li's magical power was not very strong to begin with, and Cui Haike's unorthodox magic was not very sophisticated either. The beast souls on the Xuan Yin Gathering Beast Banner had already locked onto him.

Two clouds of black energy surrounded him from the front and back, blocking his path.

Guan Minghui stretched out his right hand and made a grasping motion, and the two Xuan Yin nets that had been laid in ambush appeared simultaneously.

The Xuan Yin Net was woven by him from black silk, like a spider web, with one layer on top that falls down and another layer below that catches it up.

He used second-grade black silk. If Yang Li's flying sword were still with him, he could break through the net and escape by using the unity of body and sword. However, at this moment, the flying sword was blocked by the main banner and had nowhere to escape. He was trapped inside the net, which was now combined with the two nets, covering his head and feet.

Although he took down the kid without much effort, Guan Minghui was not at all relaxed.

He was still worried that he might alert Hua Yaosong.

Guan Minghui returned the banner to its original position and buried it underground again, then brought Yang Li to his front.

The Black Omen Silk is made from black omens and evil energy, and it is most likely to damage a person's vital energy. Ordinary people will be paralyzed when they touch it, and there will be no room for struggle. Yang Li was caught in the net, and the places where his skin was in contact with the net were extremely uncomfortable. Strands of dark yin evil energy were drilling straight into his flesh. He desperately tried to resist with his internal energy, and his face turned red.

Guan Minghui demanded sternly, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

"A true man never changes his name or surname. I am Yang Li from the South China Sea!"

"You are Yang Li?" Guan Minghui was greatly surprised. "Aren't you a disciple of the Emei Sect? Isn't your master cultivating on Juping Island in the South China Sea, named Lingxuzi Cui Haike?"

"Exactly!"

Not being a disciple of Emei made Guan Minghui secretly breathe a sigh of relief, which meant that the main teachings had not yet begun, and he still had time to continue cultivating.

However, Yang Li should be in Ziyun Palace at this time. Yang Li should have been in Ziyun Palace for the fifty years before the main story begins.

He's here... Could it be that Lu Rongbo hasn't been captured and taken to Ziyun Palace yet?
"Tell me, do you recognize Lu Rongbo? How is she now?"

This time it was Yang Li's turn to be surprised: "You know Senior Sister Lu? She cultivates with Uncle-Master Lu in Xuan Shuang Cave... No, what exactly is your relationship with Senior Sister Lu?"

Lu Rongbo is still in Xuan Shuang Cave with Lu Min!
If that's the case, it will be at least eighty years, if not a hundred, before the main story begins!
"Are you sure Lu Min is still alive? Is he still in Xuan Shuang Cave? With Lu Rongbo?"

He asked again, but Yang Li remained silent, looking at him with suspicion.

Guan Minghui said in a deep voice, "I'm asking you a question, do you dare not answer?"

Yang Li, however, remained defiant: "Since I've fallen into your hands, you can kill me or skin me as you please. If you even flinch, you're no hero!"

"Little brat, trying to act like a hero!" Guan Minghui found it amusing to look at the boy's still-childish face, yet he had the expression of someone about to bravely face death. "I ask you, what grudge do you hold against me? You first cut down the spirit wood I used to refine my magic, and then you came here and immediately launched your flying sword to kill me?"

"You are the one who harms living beings and practices evil magic!"

Guan Minghui didn't like hearing this: "How am I harming living beings? I kill a few bears and slaughter a few snakes to nourish my body and practice magic. What's wrong with that? Well, that's all I have. Whether it's good or evil, if you have any righteous methods to teach me that can heal my body, then I won't kill them."

"Bah! Demonic corpse! The righteous path under heaven shall punish it on sight!"

"Just because I'm a demon corpse, even if I haven't done anything to harm you, you still want to kill me?"

"Of course!" Yang Li was already reckless. "In this world, good and evil cannot coexist. I only regret that my strength is insufficient, otherwise I would have cut you in two long ago!" Hearing this, Guan Minghui laughed instead of getting angry: "Very well, very well, thank you for giving me a reason to kill you!"

Yang Li closed his eyes: "If you want to kill, then kill. Why bother finding a reason?"

Guan Minghui sighed inwardly. When he read the book in the past, he quite liked Yang Li. When Lu Rongbo's ascension was thwarted and she was captured by the Three Phoenixes and forced to serve in the Ziyun Palace for fifty years, Yang Li changed his name and went with her, always guarding her side.

Although he wasn't from the Emei Sect, his talent was quite remarkable, earning him the nickname "Golden Boy of the Purple Mansion."

He is usually humble and polite, and when interacting with others, he smiles before he even speaks...

If I were to transmigrate into the body of a righteous person, even a rogue cultivator from an unorthodox sect, I would find a way to bring Yang Li over to be my disciple, and making him the first disciple would be more than enough.

It's a pity that he became a demon corpse, destined to be an enemy of the Emei Sect and the entire orthodox sects, and was attached to Gu Chen.

He stretched out his right hand, and the Xuan Yin Net dispersed and flew away, and Yang Li was captured out of thin air.

A cold, large hand gripped Yang Li's neck, as firm and unyielding as an iron hoop.

Yang Li closed her eyes tightly, her face filled with determination.

Guan Minghui's eyes flashed with red and green light, and he opened his mouth to absorb Yang Li's entire body's spiritual energy and blood using the same method he had used to deal with the demon beast.

These days, he has been absorbing the blood of beasts refined using the Profound Yin Technique, which directly enters his soul, so he can't taste anything.

Now it has been replaced by human blood and qi refined by cultivators, which is not only sweet but also highly nourishing!

After inhaling it, Guan Minghui felt a surge of heat throughout his body.

He casually tossed the corpse aside and lay down again to begin his cultivation.

As the elixir energy circulated through his meridians, the seven holes in his heart were quickly repaired and healed, finally achieving a complete recovery with no further bleeding.

With each powerful thump of the heart, a stream of vital energy is sent out, from the inside to the outside, and then from the outside back to the inside.

His body surface began to become less stiff, becoming soft and elastic.

Humans are born weak and frail, but die strong and firm.

A supple body is a symbol of vitality!
A moment later, when he opened his eyes, the bluish-green color on his body had completely faded, turning into a pale white due to blood loss.

Looking at Yang Li's corpse by the bedside, Guan Minghui felt it was a pity that the kid had died like this.

After all, he's a character I quite like from the original work.

But Yang Li himself said that good and evil cannot coexist, and one of them must die.

Yang Li himself isn't very strong, but if he summons Lu Min or Hua Yaosong, he'll probably die again, since Lu Min is Li Jingxu's disciple.

He was about to dissolve Yang Li's physical body, extract his primordial spirit, and refine it into the Xuan Yin Banner—after all, letting his primordial spirit go back would still attract more enemies.

For enemies, the Mysterious Yin Gathering Beast Banner is their best refuge.

Just as he was about to make his move, he suddenly had a better idea.

The reason he and Yang Li were sworn enemies was not because they had any personal grudges, but simply because of their different identities: he was a demon corpse, while Yang Li was a sword immortal.

What if Yang Li also turned into a demon corpse?
