Great Li Martial God

The Earth Guide Old Ancestor glanced briefly at the Hidden Kill Pavilion assassins around the restaurant, then, without showing any outward reaction, discreetly welcomed the Cloud Immortal into his room.

”What happened? Why would Hidden Kill Pavilion assassins be following you?”

The Earth Guide Old Ancestor closed the door and turned to ask the Cloud Immortal.

He naturally had no fear of the Hidden Kill Pavilion assassins outside, but the Cloud Immortal had left only shortly before and had now rushed back in a hurry, her expression far from pleasant. It was clear she had run into some kind of trouble with that demon lord Li Musheng.

”I’ll explain the details in a moment. I’ve already made initial contact with that Eighth Prince of Great Li. Even so, I need you to help me with something right now.”

At this point, the Cloud Immortal’s expression gradually settled into composure, her eyes fixed on the Earth Guide Old Ancestor before her. Without waiting for him to ask, she continued, ”That Great Li prince left an aura within my body. I need you to try determining whether it can be dispersed.”

At those words, the Earth Guide Old Ancestor’s brow furrowed slightly. He looked the Cloud Immortal over carefully and naturally noticed that she now possessed no trace of martial cultivation whatsoever.

Even so, he didn’t press her further on this particular point, and instead waved a hand, saying, ”There’s no need to worry, Cloud Immortal. That man only left behind a single thread of martial aura. It’s not as though he came here personally. This old man can easily wipe it away with barely an effort.”

At those words, a cold smile appeared on the Cloud Immortal’s exquisitely beautiful face, and she said, ”I didn’t fully understand this before, but after making contact with that Great Li prince, I discovered his strength far exceeds anything I imagined. I would advise you to proceed with the utmost caution.”

At those words, the Earth Guide Old Ancestor studied the Cloud Immortal before him, and seeing that she didn’t seem to be exaggerating, considered for a moment before raising a hand and pointing a finger at her.

In an instant, the true qi of heaven and earth throughout the entire room, along with the earth vein energy rising from beneath the restaurant, converged toward his finger simultaneously, condensing in the blink of an eye into a thick, murky beam of martial true light.

Then, with a flick of his finger, that beam of martial true light shot forward and settled directly into the Cloud Immortal’s body before him.

Though the Earth Guide Old Ancestor had originally paid little regard to the aura Li Musheng had left behind, after the Cloud Immortal’s warning, though he still harbored some doubt, he now proceeded with considerably more caution.

The Earth Guide Old Ancestor began attempting to guide the true light slowly into the Cloud Immortal’s meridians and core, and in the process also sensed the thread of Li Musheng’s martial aura enveloping her meridians and core.

Under the Earth Guide Old Ancestor’s perception, Li Musheng’s thread of martial aura appeared unremarkable enough, nothing more than a thin, faint layer, as though a single burst of martial true qi could easily blow it away entirely.

”It seems this is nothing much after all.”

The Earth Guide Old Ancestor’s brow furrowed slightly, and he guided his beam of martial true light directly toward the thread of martial aura within the Cloud Immortal’s body.

But before the Earth Guide Old Ancestor could even react, the beam of martial true light he had directed, the moment it made contact with that thread of aura, suddenly erupted violently, as though it had touched a raging flame, and shot back directly toward him along the same path it had traveled.

At the sight, the Earth Guide Old Ancestor’s expression changed sharply. He immediately circulated the vast, powerful martial true qi within his body and reached out to block the incoming force, attempting to stop his own martial true light from striking him.

But the raging beam of martial true light, having erupted from the Cloud Immortal’s body, was now completely beyond his control. Having been repelled by Li Musheng’s martial aura, it had erupted with an almost unimaginable force, and in an instant shattered the palm of true qi the Earth Guide Old Ancestor had raised to block it.

The Earth Guide Old Ancestor’s expression filled with shock, and he immediately deployed his Earth Vein Body Protection Divine Art, layers of thick, murky true qi cascading down around his body, just barely managing to block the incoming beam of martial true light.
