Chapter 455  : Losing The Artifact Spirit

Even from a distance of more than ten meters, the killing intent brought about by the sword aura could cut everything around it.

“Be careful.”

Tang Li quickly stood in front of the man and blocked the sword aura with a talisman in her hand.

With a bang, the tomb trembled.

The man standing behind Tang Li said in a low voice, “How dare you!”

A powerful aura instantly came from behind Tang Li.

Tang Li was surprised. Just as she was about to turn to look at the man behind her, in the next second, the surroundings started to move without any wind. The entire space started to emit a powerful light.

The light was so dazzling that Tang Li could not open her eyes. When she closed her eyes, she heard an enormous bang, followed by Qi Lingxuan’s painful groan.

Tang Li quickly opened her eyes and looked at the man who was grabbing Qi Lingxuan by the neck. She opened her mouth but couldn’t utter a sound.

At this moment, the man moved his hand, obviously wanting to break Qi Lingxuan’s neck.

Tang Li shuddered and quickly shouted, “Wait!”

With that, she ran over and grabbed his arm. “Don’t kill him. He’s just controlled by the Artifact Spirit. He can’t die.”

The man tilted his head to look at her, his eyes filled with displeasure.

......

Tang Li grabbed his arm with both hands and looked into his eyes. She said firmly, “This person can’t die. He’s just being controlled by the Artifact Spirit. As long as we suppress or refine the Artifact Spirit in his body, he will be just a mortal.”

The man looked at Tang Li for a few seconds as if he was confused. After a while, he asked, “Is he your husband?”

“No.” Tang Li frowned, saying, “My husband looks exactly like you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have mistaken you for him just now.”

The man’s expression changed again.

“Do you know who I am?”

This woman actually dared to say that he looked exactly like her husband.

“You’re the Xuanyuan King.” Tang Li was very sure. “Other than the Xuanyuan King, there’s no one else who has the ability to enter and leave the main tomb freely.”

The Xuanyuan King seemed to be very satisfied with her words and loosened his grip on Qi Lingxuan.

After Qi Lingxuan was let go, his body went limp and he fell to the ground.

The moment he escaped the grip of the Artifact Spirit, he quickly begged Tang Li, “Fourth Aunt, please save me. I’m being controlled by the Artifact Spirit. The Artifact Spirit said that I’m the Child of Destiny of this world. As long as he controls me, he can use my body to rule the world… Ah…”

Qi Lingxuan grimaced in pain. He covered his neck with both hands, as if he was fighting with the Artifact Spirit.

When Tang Li saw this, she frowned and said, “The Artifact Spirit is trying to take control of his body again.”

Xuanyuan King suddenly asked, “How do we suppress the Artifact Spirit in his body?”

“It requires the exclusive manual of our Xuan sect, but my master said that this manual has been lost.”

“This kind of manual?”

After Xuanyuan King finished speaking, he extended his hand and a manual appeared in his palm.

Tang Li tilted her head to look at it. Her eyes lit up and she was about to take the manual from him.

At this moment, Xuanyuan King put away the manual.

Tang Li looked at him in confusion.

Xuanyuan King, “I can give you the manual, but you have to promise me one thing.”

“What is it?”

“Guard my tomb and don’t let anyone disturb me.”

Tang Li was a little surprised that he would make such a request.

However, now was not the time to think about why he made this request. She had to refine the Artifact Spirit in Qi Lingxuan’s body first. She quickly nodded. “Alright.”

As soon as she nodded, a red dot suddenly appeared on her wrist.

She looked up at Xuanyuan King.

Xuanyuan King looked at her and said, “Blood contract.”

Tang Li nodded and started reading the manual without saying anything.

The entire manual not only recorded the process of refining the artifact spirit in detail, but also many lost mystic techniques of the Xuan Sect.

Tang Li quickly finished reading the manual and put it away.

Then, she walked up to Qi Lingxuan and looked down at him. “Qi Lingxuan, I’ll refine the Artifact Spirit in your body. From now on, he won’t help you do anything. If you want to succeed, you have to rely on yourself.”

With that, she extended her right hand above his head and quickly chanted an incantation.

A ray of light shot from her palm into Qi Lingxuan’s head. Soon, a sword started to rampage in his body.

Qi Lingxuan started rolling on the ground.

The light enveloped Qi Lingxuan. When he was rolling around, Tang Li withdrew her hand and took two steps back.

Soon, the sword stopped and was gone.

Qi Lingxuan also fainted.

After doing all that, Tang Li turned to look at Xuanyuan King.

Xuanyuan King also looked at her. A few seconds later, a shadow came out of his body.

Tang Li was stunned for a moment before she immediately understood what was going on. She quickly went over to catch Qi Yihan.

A few seconds later, Qi Yihan and Tang Li looked at the man who looked exactly like him but was wearing a royal robe.

Xuanyuan King said, “Remember your promise.”

With that, he disappeared.

Tang Li was about to look at Qi Yihan when he hugged her tightly.

Hearing his heart beating faster than usual, Tang Li asked in his arms, “How did you feel when Xuanyuan King entered your body?”

Qi Yihan said after a while, “I didn’t feel anything.”

Then, he pressed her head against his chest and said to her in a low and hoarse voice, “After I was sent away by you, my body was occupied by him, but I can still sense everything that happened.”

Tang Li nodded. She was relieved to know that the Xuanyuan King had no intention of occupying Qi Yihan’s body forever.

The two of them hugged for a while before separating.

Qi Yihan looked at the unconscious Qi Lingxuan and asked Tang Li, “Can you wake him up?”

“Yes.”

“Then wake him up. We’ll take him with us.”

“Alright.”

Tang Li quickly woke Qi Lingxuan up.

After Qi Lingxuan woke up, he first sensed the Artifact Spirit. When he didn’t feel anything, he called out twice in his mind. When he didn’t get any response, he finally heaved a sigh of relief and felt sad at the same time.

Without the Artifact Spirit, he wouldn’t be able to get to the top in the fastest way.

At this moment, Qi Yihan’s cold voice was heard. “If you can get up, come with us. Otherwise, we’ll leave you behind.”

Qi Lingxuan shuddered and quickly stood up.

He looked at Qi Yihan and Tang Li, and no matter how indignant he was, he immediately suppressed it.

He knew that he could no longer defeat these two people.
