Mei Qingta realized that Chen Guan definitely had some connection with Zhi Xian, otherwise why would Zhi Xian treat him so specially?

"Wrong... wrong... it was a wrong move from the start... the whole game is lost..." Mei Qingta knew that things had reached an irretrievable point, and now no matter what he said, it was useless.

Who could have thought that Chen Guan would have a connection with an existence like Zhi Xian, completely an unforeseen possibility.

Almost in an instant, Mei Qingta made up his mind.

"Master Zhi Xian... treating people who have been searching for Void Cyan Stone Liquid for you for generations like this... isn't it chilling..." Mei Qingta glared angrily at Ling'er.

"You..." Ling'er had only spoken one word when she saw Mei Qingta suddenly erupt, his body radiating an ink blue light so dark it was almost black, as if a Demon God had descended upon him.

Under that ink blue glow, Mei Qingta instantly arrived in front of Chen Guan, one hand, colored blackish-blue, reaching for Chen Guan, like the sky-covering hand of a Demon God leaving Chen Guan no escape.

Three Gravity Warriors simultaneously used their Gravity Field, giving Chen Guan no chance to escape.

Mei Qingta had already understood that Chen Guan and Zhi Xian had a deep relationship, and it seemed Zhi Xian even had an unusual respect for Chen Guan.

He knew that his only way out today was to capture Chen Guan, take him as a hostage, and maybe there would be a slim chance to leave Zixian Valley alive.

Though Chen Guan couldn't see, he could sense Mei Qingta charging towards him, guessed what he was intending to do, and Sword Aura burst from his body, preparing to soar into the sky, trying to evade Mei Qingta's attack.

But it felt as if a matchless Power came crashing down, forcibly pressing down the power of the Pure Yang Sword Immortal, preventing Chen Guan from rising.

Mei Qingta's Secret Collection was the "Ink Painting Great Demon God," possessing a special ability to seal people.

If he were to hit Chen Guan with this palm, Chen Guan would surely be controlled by him, and even if Zhi Xian had the power to kill him, they would hesitate to act rashly.

At the moment Mei Qingta's palm fell, Ling'er suddenly emerged from the ground as if she had appeared out of thin air, standing in front of Chen Guan, with spiritual light rising from her body like a sun breaking through the clouds, forcibly dispersing Mei Qingta's Secret Power.

In the face of Ling'er's power, the power of the Ink Painting Great Demon God was like darkness dispelled by sunlight, instantly disappearing without a trace.

Mei Qingta's body was sent flying back, and just from being affected by the Spiritual Power, he was almost at death's door.

Mei Qingta lay on the ground, constantly spitting blood from his mouth, looking as if he was not long for this world.

"Spare his life for now." Chen Guan stopped the murderous Ling'er.

"How can he be allowed to live after daring to attack you?" Ling'er had no human sense of right and wrong, she only knew that Chen Guan was the benefactor of the Zhi Xian clan, and Mei Qingta had dared to attack Chen Guan, thus deserving death.

But since Chen Guan asked not to kill, she stopped, not making another move against Mei Qingta.

Seeing the attitude and tone with which Ling'er spoke to Chen Guan, Mei Qingta realized that he had made a massive mistake, as Chen Guan's connection to the Zhi Xian clan was not just deep but even commanded Zhi Xian's complete obedience.

And he had even been thinking of having Zhi Xian kill Chen Guan; he was terribly wrong indeed.

"Chen Guan, even if you beg me, it's useless. I won't lift the effects of the Blind Fist and Disabling Fist on you; you'll live as a cripple for the rest of your life." Mei Qingta saw that Chen Guan hadn't regained his sight nor control over his body, though he didn't know what Secret Skill he used to still be able to move freely while under the Disabling Fist's effects.

However, some small details still showed Chen Guan hadn't regained his sight and his movements were somewhat awkward.

"No need for you to worry about my injuries, I just want to know who sent you to kill me." Chen Guan asked.

"Cough... do you think I'll tell you... cough..." Mei Qingta laughed as he spoke, blood constantly flowing from his mouth, as his body had been severely internally injured just from being hit by Ling'er's power.

"The person who sent you to kill me cost you your life; are you just going to let it go?" Chen Guan said calmly.

Mei Qingta was stunned for a moment, then laughed again, laughing so hard that blood sprayed from his mouth: "Haha... you... what a pity..."

"I can tell you who, but I fear you wouldn't dare to believe it." Mei Qingta stared at Chen Guan: "But I have a condition."

"Speak."

Mei Qingta took something from his pocket and threw it to Chen Guan with his blood-stained hand: "There aren't many things in this world that I have left to cherish. This is the Composite Secret Skill I created, 'Disabling Fist.' Whether you learn it yourself or give it to others, let it remain in the world."

"I'll find someone to send it back to the Mei Family for you." Chen Guan said as he took the notebook.

"Don't send it back to the Mei Family... cough..." Mei Qingta wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "The Disabling Fist I created is far too sinister and toxic, harming balance and well-being. Those who practice it fear they'll end as I did, with no good end. No one in the Mei Family can suppress this martial art. I wish for it to be passed on, but to anyone but the Mei Family."

"I understand, I promise you, I'll find someone outside the Mei Family willing to learn it and pass it down." Chen Guan thought for a moment and said, somewhat suspicious this might be Mei Qingta's final trap, cunningly setting him up.

Mei Qingta laughed: "That's good. The one who sent me to kill you is the Chief Judge, whether you believe it or not, that's my only answer."

"Why does he want to kill me?" Chen Guan continued to ask.

"How could a small fry like me know such things? I can only tell you that no matter what rumors you hear in the future, there's only one answer from me. The one who wants to kill you is the Chief Judge, do you dare to believe it?" Mei Qingta laughed even more joyfully, supporting his body as he stood up from the ground: "Watch closely... this is the Disabling Fist..."

Mei Qingta moved, his fist swung toward Chen Guan.

Chen Guan stood there without moving, allowing Mei Qingta's punch to land on him, and a strange Fist Power infiltrated his body, as if flipping a switch, instantly restoring Chen Guan's ability to sense his body and his Divine Power.

He saw Mei Qingta standing in front of him, maintaining the punching posture, still with that perplexing smile on his face, but already breathless.

Even if merely affected by Ling'er's strike, his internal organs were already ruptured. It was impressive he lasted this long.

The punch that freed Chen Guan from the Disabling effects was already Mei Qingta's final blow, the return of his last breath.

Chen Guan stepped back, and Mei Qingta's body, still in the punching posture, fell to the ground, dying quietly without a sound.

"Even in death, he left me with such a conundrum." Chen Guan looked at Mei Qingta's corpse, a serious expression on his face.

Mei Qingta had told him; yet, could he believe it? Dare he believe it?
