Although Li Yan was confident in the strength of his Divine Sense, he demanded prudence and thoroughness in everything he did. It was best not to sweep his Divine Sense around recklessly within the city.
At that moment, the Brain-Eating Gu in Li Yan's mind was letting out excited noises. He could even hear the "sizzle, sizzle" of its sucking...
After Li Yan put Qiu Yu into Tuban, he released his control over the Brain-Eating Gu and allowed it to begin eating. It was currently feasting with great relish.
Qiu Yu had to die. He knew some of Li Yan's secrets. Even if such a person were kept inside Tuban, he would still be a hidden danger. Every loophole had to be sealed.
One Amur had already brought him endless trouble, much less someone who had confirmed his identity. He absolutely could not allow Qiu Yu to leave behind even a trace in this world.
Moreover, Li Yan could not form a master-servant contract with him. Luo Gucheng was to be used in this plan, so Qiu Yu naturally could not remain alive.
Even if Li Yan changed his appearance, his cultivation technique's traits were far too distinctive. Not only was he an eye-catching sword cultivator, but he could also use Luo Gucheng's flying sword arts.
He would be far too easily recognized. Not only would that create a massive loophole in Li Yan's plans, it might even allow others to track him down again.
He had already suffered terribly because of Amur. Now Li Yan was so wary that even the sight of a bow made him fear a snake. How could he dare leave himself hidden dangers? Removing them directly was naturally best.
Especially since Qiu Yu had not died inside the sect, but simply vanished like this.
