Chapter 1282: Master Qi dies

Master Qi was bewildered and at a loss!

Chen Guanlou sighed.

There are tens of thousands of martial artists in the world, yet how many can break through to the Grandmaster realm? How many people strive for it, only to end up dead and their Dao dissipated.

He said to the other party, "In your next life, be born into a good family and cultivate well."

Master Qi's eyes were about to split, wishing he could stab the other party to death. "You insist on killing this old man?"

"Of course!"

"Why?"

"You are like a stinkbug, making trouble every few days. Although you can't kill me, you make me very unhappy. For someone like you, it's better to be dead! Go well! Don't worry, the last blade will definitely let you go quickly, without the slightest pain."

"Hahaha... This old man was proud for a lifetime, but in the end, I fell into the hands of you, a little thief. How aggrieved I am!"

"I told you, if your skills are inferior to others, you must admit defeat. You, you just won't accept your fate! You deserve to die and have your Dao dissipated. Even if I didn't kill you, with the chaotic Qi in your body now, you wouldn't live long anyway."

Master Qi sneered repeatedly. "If you want to kill, then kill, why talk so much nonsense!"

"Fine, I'll satisfy you and give you a quick end."

The blade rose, the head fell!

The headless corpse still knelt firmly on the ground, one hand supporting the precious sword, refusing to fall!

The person was dead, the hatred was gone.

But Chen Guanlou was a bit worried.

How should he dispose of the corpse?

It was very troublesome!

In the end, he still collected the corpse for Master Qi, packed it in a sack, threw it to the funeral undertakers, and left twenty taels of silver.

The undertakers didn't recognize Master Qi, but seeing the decapitated corpse and the twenty taels of silver, they understood everything instantly. Following the old rules, they collected the corpse, stitched it up, kept it for two days, and buried it!

Chen Guanlou carried Master Qi's precious sword home, finished washing up, and lay flat to rest!

He was very comfortable, but the Jixia Academy was about to be in chaos.

Master Qi suddenly came out of seclusion and went on a rampage, killing his disciples; these were clearly symptoms of falling into demonic cultivation.

"Failed?"

Everyone thought of this point simultaneously.

"Did Master Qi fail to break through to Grandmaster?"

"Where did the person go?"

"If he failed, why didn't he stay at the academy?"

"If he really failed, what should we do? So many resources, wouldn't they be..."

"Shh! Stop talking nonsense."

"What should be done about this!"

Hearts were in chaos.

The Jixia Academy sent capable disciples to search everywhere for Master Qi's whereabouts. They didn't want to alert the government, and even less did they want to alert the palace. Once the news of failure spread, who knew how much mockery it would bring. The neighboring Yuquan Palace would definitely be very smug.

Search quietly!

Find the person as soon as possible!

If they really couldn't find him, no matter what, they had to see the person alive or see the corpse if dead!

The Jixia Academy searched everywhere and found the village, learning of the rumbling sounds coming from the distant mountain peak the previous night, which were clearly martial artists sparring. They immediately went to the distant mountain peak, looking at the large pit on the ground, the shorn-off mountaintop, and the bloodstains remaining on the ground, all indicating that a heaven-shaking life-and-death battle had occurred here.

"Could it be Master Qi?"

"Not clear!"

"If it was Master Qi, who was he sparring with to the death?"

Instantly, everyone thought of the Heavenly Jiang Jiang Yucheng, Chen Guanlou.

If one had to say who Master Qi hated the most, it was Chen Guanlou.

The other party had destroyed Master Qi and even more so had destroyed the reputation of the Jixia Academy.

It was more than just hatred; it was clearly a life-and-death enmity.

"What should we do?"

They exchanged glances.

"We cannot provoke this person, Chen Guanlou. Let's go back, report the situation, and let the teachers decide. Whatever the academy requires us to do, we will do."

"Fine!"

The group hurried back to the Jixia Academy and reported the situation.

Soon, someone headed to the Heavenly Prison.

The weather was nice today, sunny with a light breeze.

Chen Guanlou was sunbathing in the courtyard, lying on a chair, squinting his eyes, with a cup of tea by his hand, living a beautiful life.

The gatekeeper came to report that someone from the Jixia Academy was asking to see him.

"My lord, should you see them?"

As soon as Chen Guanlou heard Jixia Academy, he knew what was finally coming. He had a feeling of a stone finally falling to the ground.

He nodded. "Invite them in and move a few chairs over. Guests are guests; I can't let them stand and talk."

"Yes!"

The gatekeeper took the order, and before long, tables and chairs were prepared, and the guests were invited into the small courtyard.

Chen Guanlou looked at the three guests who had come to the door and raised his hand to greet them. "Sit down and talk."

"Greetings, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen! Please forgive our presumptuous visit."

"It doesn't matter. Drink tea, drink tea! It's rare, your Jixia Academy people stepping into the Heavenly Prison again."

The three were a bit embarrassed.

Chen Guanlou laughed, breaking the awkward atmosphere. "Coming over today, what is the matter? You might as well say it directly. Everyone's time is very precious."

"May I ask, Senior Chen, have you seen Master Qi in the last few days?"

"Master Qi? Isn't he in seclusion?"

"The seclusion has ended."

"I didn't hear any good news. Could it be that Master Qi failed his seclusion breakthrough?" Chen Guanlou smiled that smile that wasn't quite a smile, asking while knowing the answer.

The three Jixia Academy disciples all felt they had no face and lowered their heads in unison.

"You ran to the Heavenly Prison to ask me; could it be that Master Qi has disappeared? It's truly strange. A person several decades old has disappeared, and you don't go looking for him, but run to ask me what for? Could it be that you suspect I hid him?"

Chen Guanlou would never admit to things without evidence.

Even if there was evidence, as long as it couldn't nail him down, he would flatly deny it.

"Senior Chen, you misunderstand. It's just because when Master Qi came out of seclusion, his condition wasn't very good. Thinking of the past between you, we came to ask."

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Just because of this, you came to the door; the reason isn't sufficient."

"We discovered traces of a fight on a mountain peak outside the city, as well as bloodstains."

"It definitely isn't my bloodstain." Chen Guanlou opened his arms. "I am perfectly fine, and I haven't fought with anyone. People who know me know that I am a peace lover; if I can use my mouth, I will never use my hands. If I saw Master Qi, I would definitely chat with him. Unfortunately, the last time I saw him was when a monk and a Daoist priest were debating scriptures. Sigh, I hope he is well; next time there is a chance, I still want to spar with him."

The three academy disciples didn't know how to respond to this topic.

Nor could they distinguish whether what the other party said was true or false.

"Since Senior Chen hasn't seen Master Qi, we will take our leave!"

"Fine, walk slowly, I won't see you out!"

The three left the Heavenly Prison and went straight back to the Jixia Academy, informing their teachers of the meeting process in detail.

"Hmph! That little thief surnamed Chen is full of nonsense, not a single word of truth."

"Does the Master mean he lied, that he has seen Master Qi?"

"Not only seen him, but they also had a fight. I'm afraid Master Qi is in grave danger this time. Give the order, stop looking, and ask the major funeral undertakers in the capital if they have received Master Qi's corpse recently."

"Master, this... how is this possible."

"How is it not possible? Do you really think that little thief surnamed Chen is a gentleman? He is more treacherous and sinister than anyone. However, he has a habit: after killing someone, he is responsible for collecting the corpse. If he killed Master Qi, he would definitely hire funeral undertakers to handle the corpse. Hurry up and ask around; you must find Master Qi. See the person alive or see the corpse if dead!" ===== CHAPTER 1283 =====
