Fifteen minutes ago.
Anyi Prefecture's Prefecture Lord Guan Zhaotang had been inside his residence, attempting to break through to the level-14 spiritual realm.
However, just as he was at the critical juncture of his cultivation, he got bitten by the watchdog he had personally nurtured.
Guan Zhaotang truly did not expect Qi Lianhai to backstab him.
That strike did not hit his vitals, and the energy current around him even sent Qi Lianhai's saber flying.
However, this interruption caused the spiritual energy in his body to diverge.
Unluckily for Guan Zhaotang, this caused him to instantly enter vital energy deviation. His spiritual energy ran amok, and his orifices all bled at once.
Just as he struggled with all his might to suppress his rampaging spiritual energy, that d*mned Qi Lianhai actually stabbed him in the back again.
