Found the Sha Organization's Location?

Whoosh! Gu Li rushed back in a frantic hurry. Beneath his robes, his hands trembled faintly, the webs between his thumbs and forefingers a mangled mess of blood and torn flesh. Having hurried back, Gu Li let out a long breath and asked in a heavy voice, "Start right now?" Li Guanqi nodded. Qianqiusui bowed and took her leave; she knew what she should and should not hear. Li Guanqi raised a hand to seal off the entire domain. Gu Li drew out a talisman brush and asked in a low voice, "Are you really having me do this?" The youth before Gu Li smiled, shedding his upper garments to reveal a back covered in scars. "Hurry. There isn't much time left for me either." Gu Li licked his lips, steadying his trembling hands as he gripped the talisman brush. As the brush touched down on Li Guanqi's back, a bone-gnawing agony coursed through his entire body in an instant. Li Guanqi gritted his teeth, his body not trembling in the slightest. Gu Li breathed a sigh of relief. He had feared Li Guanqi would not be able to withstand the power. Inscribing seal talismans directly onto human skin was a first even for him. Normally, the talisman paper he used was specially treated, sometimes even requiring materials like beast hides or bones. That was because certain seal talismans contained power far too potent for ordinary talisman paper to bear the brunt of their spirit runes. Though Li Guanqi possessed a formidable physical body, this bone-gnawing agony was something he had to endure purely by force of will. Gu Li focused his mind, his wrist moving fluidly as he poured surging spiritual power into the brush. His expression taut, he concentrated wholly on inscribing the special seal talisman. As he drew, a jade slip in Gu Li's hand gave off a faint, lustrous glow. This jade slip was none other than the key concerning the seclusion grounds where Ye Feng and the other two had to pass through. The complexity of this seal talisman far exceeded the ordinary, and the spirit runes had to possess immense structural strength to hold up. The flame sigil between Li Guanqi's brows flickered, indicating that the agony he was enduring was approaching his absolute limit. Crack! A tooth shattered in Li Guanqi's mouth from the sheer force of his clenched jaw. A trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his lips, cold sweat streaming down his forehead. The skin of Li Guanqi's back was carved open, spirit runes sinking deep into flesh and bone. Gu Li growled in a low voice, "Hang in there just a little longer!!" By now, Gu Li's aura had grown unstable. His face was as pale as paper, his lips cracked and bloodless. His pupils were slightly unfocused; he, too, had reached his limit. The moment the final stroke fell, Li Guanqi could endure no more and spat out a mouthful of blood. Gu Li's entire arm and hand bones shattered inch by inch, and the talisman brush in his grip blew apart with a bang! Bleeding from all seven facial orifices, Gu Li swayed and collapsed unconscious onto the ground. Li Guanqi lay on his side, gasping for breath, his eyes bloodshot without him even realizing when it had happened. A moment later, Li Guanqi finally caught his breath and pushed himself up to check Gu Li's condition. Upon finding that Gu Li had merely suffered severe depletion of spiritual power, he let out a sigh of relief. He retrieved healing medicinal pills, stuffed them into Gu Li's mouth, moved him onto a bed, and laid down a spirit-gathering array. He crushed several spirit stones and enveloped Gu Li in a protective boundary, murmuring softly as he looked at his friend's unconsciously trembling body: "Thank you for your hard work." Li Guanqi did not know how many seal talismans Gu Li had inscribed in the Meng clan's domain. But he knew that beyond the initial batch of three thousand dharma artifacts released, there were at least another two thousand within the Three Pavilions! Furthermore, forged dharma artifacts were continuously being shipped to the Three Pavilions via secret channels. It was hard to imagine just how many seal talismans Gu Li had inscribed by himself in the Meng clan over the past two days. Though none of them had said a word, everyone knew the immense pressure Li Guanqi was shouldering... The blood on Li Guanqi's back dried. With a surge of primal energy, he shook loose the scabs and slowly put on his white robes. Outside the door, space warped, and Xi Yunhuai said in a deep voice, "Pavilion Master, rumors have begun spreading that someone found the location of the Sha organization's main hall!" Li Guanqi frowned. Flashing outside the door, he asked gravely, "Where?" "Is this news true or false?" Xi Yunhuai spoke rapidly: "I do not know whether it is true or false. The moment I heard, I came straight here!" This was a move Li Guanqi had not anticipated. He had not expected that relying on the cultivators of the Six Domains could truly uncover the Sha organization's location! "No..." "If it were really that easy to find, how could Ji Yuchuan have failed to locate it?" Li Guanqi said coldly, "Instruct the experts of the Three Pavilions not to act rashly. Even if this news is real, it's a trap!" Li Guanqi flashed over to the Tianji Chart. Looking at a cluster of blazing black flames on the map, his brow furrowed deeply! Inside the Sha organization's grand hall. From beneath the mask, a man's teasing murmur sounded: "Li Guanqi, now that I've given you the location, what can you possibly do?" "Hahahaha, how fun!!" Soon, the Sha organization's location was 'exposed.' It was in the Eastern Domain of the Taiqing Domain, nestled deep within a desolate, uninhabited expanse of mountains known as the Qilian Mountain Range. Countless powerhouses converged on the Taiqing Domain, and the native cultivators of the domain went completely wild. To find the location of that main hall meant astronomical wealth and an immense karmic opportunity! Countless cultivators went into a frenzy. The gathered masses flew through the air like a plague of locusts. Even some Foundation Establishment realm cultivators harbored deluded hopes of stumbling upon it, to say nothing of the old monsters who had been stuck at bottlenecks for ages. Countless white points of light converged toward the Qilian Mountain Range of the Taiqing Domain! Li Guanqi's brow remained tightly furrowed, his surrounding spiritual consciousness actively drawing in spiritual qi. Though the injuries on his body had healed, a trace of agony still lingered between his brows. It was as though he were constantly enduring something. Suddenly, Li Guanqi's expression changed drastically. He barked in a furious roar, "Quick! Order the Three Pavilions' covert agents to stop everyone immediately! This is a trap!" "Hurry! If it's too late, the consequences will be unimaginable!!" At those words, Xi Yunhuai's face drained of color, and he immediately issued the order to relay Li Guanqi's command across the Three Pavilions. Tang Wei sat within a mysterious grand hall—the headquarters of Treasure Pavilion. Besides Tang Wei, five other individuals sat in chairs. Seated at the head was a man clad in a blue brocade robe. He appeared to be only in his forties, with a lean face. His features were sharp, with an aquiline nose and monolids. With his chin slightly lifted, his jawline was prominent. He wore a purple-gold crown, his eyes narrowed into slits. The jade slip in Tang Wei's hand lit up. Sweeping his divine sense across it, his expression shifted slightly! "Pavilion Master, Li Guanqi has ordered us to deploy our covert agents to stop cultivators from heading to the Qilian Mountain Range!" The man was named Qian Ze, the true master of Treasure Pavilion and one of the most enigmatic figures in the realm. He rarely involved himself in worldly affairs, yet this time he had stepped forward personally because of Tang Wei's situation. A cold glint flashed in the man's eyes. He instantly understood Li Guanqi's intention and commanded in a low voice: "Guangqing, immediately notify the covert agents in the Taiqing Domain to intervene and stop them! Tell the cultivators rushing there that this is a trap!" "If necessary, deploy dharma artifact barrier formations to block them!" Sun Guangqing, Pavilion Master of the Taiqing Domain's Treasure Pavilion, was a half-step Mahayana realm cultivator. Hearing this, the old man rose at once and said solemnly, "Understood. I shall see to it immediately." After the elder departed, some around the table still felt Treasure Pavilion should not have gotten involved in this matter in the first place. "Heh, to think that for the sake of the Tang family's boy, even the Pavilion Master himself had to be disturbed to personally oversee this." "Those who don't know better might think Treasure Pavilion belongs to the Tang family." A gloomy-faced middle-aged man spoke in a chilling, sarcastic tone.
