"Answer me!"
Li Qingshan clenched his fist firmly. Killing intent was contained within him.
The Dark Queen did not have the ability to kill Ming Fei, but he did! As long as Ming Fei was bold enough to nod and admit it, he would be bold enough to kill her immediately. Who cared if it was the King Chu's estate or the Sword Collection palace? That was his sore spot!
"It has nothing to do with me!" Ming Fei said proudly.
"Liar!" The Dark Queen said. The Ghost Kings roared out and lunged towards Ming Fei.
"Die, bitch!" Ming Fei swung her sword to receive him. Light coiled around her as she clashed with the Ghost Kings. She did not show any weakness at all.
At this moment, two magnificent streaks of light rushed out from the horizon, as if they were proving Li Qingshan's words.
The Dark Queen furrowed her brows and wanted to retreat, but Ming Fei did not spare her. She was determined to kill this mortal enemy of hers.
Li Qingshan stood in the centre of the battlefield. His long hair drifted about in the violent wind. He unclenched his fist and lowered his head in thought. He took out an item from his bosom. It was a curved horn.
It was the Xiezhi's horn that had once almost forced him into dire straits several decades ago. It possessed the wondrous ability to distinguish between truth and lies. He had found it in Fu Qingjin's sumeru ring. The Xiezhi's horn did not respond to Ming Fei's words.
Of course, perhaps Ming Fei possessed a method to fool the Xiezhi's horn, but even if Li Qingshan used his senses to judge, Ming Fei did not seem to be lying.
Although the Dark Queen was so certain that Ming Fei was the culprit, she seemed more like a stubborn mother who had lost her beloved son. She was not particularly convincing. And, if she really did possess concrete evidence, he believed that Chu Lie King would not turn a blind eye to it, turning it into an unresolved case.
There were still many doubtful points. For example, the witch in the Crouching Ox village practised the Profound Yin Ghost Control technique and not the sword manipulation technique of the Sword Collection palace. As it seemed now, the witch was basically no more powerful than a mortal, so how could she refine Little Ann's soul into a ghost slave?
All kinds of questions emerged in his mind. Li Qingshan shook his head and put the Xiezhi horn back into his arms. Since Little Ann was not sure who the murderer was, he did not want to act recklessly like a reckless man. He would investigate slowly!
But no matter who the murderer was, Li Qingshan was prepared to kill his entire family!
Raising his head again, the Dark Queen was entangled by the Ming Concubine, unable to break free for a moment. The two tremendous streaks of light on the horizon flanked the Dark Queen from the left and right. With the three great sword cultivators working together, they were confident they could make the Dark Queen die here.
"Battle Demon Possession!"
Li Qingshan said in a low voice. His demon heart flashed and the War Demon totem imprinted on his back swelled and blurred. It spread and circulated until it covered his entire body and merged with him as one. He had transformed into the War Demon!
Immediately, demon qi rushed into the air. Li Qingshan leapt up and used his fingers like a blade, cutting down on the edge of the Ming Concubine's sword. He had already used the blade style he had learnt from the Wild Flower blade soul, which happened to destroy the Ming Concubine's attack.
The Dark Queen used this opportunity to flee into the distance. She stared at Li Qingshan and was rather confused. This man called himself an elder of the Sword Collection palace. He had saved a disciple of the Sword Collection palace first, yet he was helping her now. She was left scratching her head!
"Brat, you're looking to die!"
The Ming Concubine flew into a rage. Her sword moved violently like the tide, as sharp as lightning.
Li Qingshan swung his palm with composure, dealing with the attacks as they came. He did not lose the upper hand at all. He said to the Dark Queen, "You can go!"
Although he did not exactly have a good impression of her or respect for her, she was Little Ann's mother after all. Li Qingshan obviously would not allow her to die here.
The Dark Queen turned around and drifted away. The two streaks of light pursued for over five hundred kilometers before giving up on turning back in the end.
One of them was a tall, middle-aged man. He stood like a lone mountain with a sword in hand. His bearing even surpassed the Ming Concubine's. He was the strongest sword cultivator Li Qingshan had ever seen in his life. The other was much younger. His appearance was rather similar to the Ming Concubine's. He wore a set of faint yellow blademaster clothes, and his bearing was radiant like a prodigy.
Together with the Ming Concubine, he sealed off Li Qingshan's path of retreat.
"You can die in his place!"
With a flash, the Ming Concubine pulled back and stared at Li Qingshan coldly.
The three great sword cultivators fell into a sword formation and surrounded Li Qingshan, brimming with killing intent!
"I've saved your disciple after all. Do you really have to treat me like an enemy?"
Li Qingshan laid out his hands with a smile. In the current world, basically no one could force him into dire straits anymore. Even the Dragon King Of The Sea was not confident about that. However, it seemed like he could not take advantage of the Sword Collection palace anymore.
"You've come from the Demon domain?"
The master of the Sword Collection palace stared at Li Qingshan. From the surging demon qi he gave off, he was clearly a Demon King, and he was even more powerful than regular Demon Kings. Unless the Demon domain invaded on a large scale, Demon Kings would always remain in their demon caverns. They would never roam the world.
"No, I'm a disciple of buddhism, as well as a guest elder of the Sword Collection palace." Li Qingshan shrugged.
"Nonsense!" The Ming Concubine rebuked furiously. Being a disciple of buddhism was already laughable enough. The Sword Collection palace did not even have an elder like that!
However, the master of the Sword Collection palace thought of something. A gleam of light flashed through his eyes. "You're Li Qingshan!"
"It's rare for someone to know my name," said Li Qingshan.
"You're Li Qingshan!" The young man was surprised.
"How do you prove it?"
"Palace master, he really is Li Qingshan. He even saved us earlier!" Yu Zijian brought the unconscious Fu Qingjin over.
"Zijian, don't come over!" Ming Concubine called out.
"Yes, but he has no ill intentions. First senior brother, hurry up and save senior brother Fu!" Yu Zijian stopped and pleaded with the young man.
Li Qingshan's heart skipped a beat. Another first senior brother, and he was the first senior brother of the Sword Collection palace.
"Zijian, don't worry. Palace master, mother, Qingjin's life is more important!"
Ji Xuanri said. Not only was he the first senior brother of the Sword Collection palace, but he was also the first prodigy among the younger generation of the Green province to undergo the third heavenly tribulation. He was also the son of Chu Lie King and Ming Concubine, the human crown prince of the Green province. If nothing unexpected happened, he would become the next King Chu, a true prodigy.
"The Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga can actually accept a disciple like you?" The master of the Sword Collection palace waved his hand and produced a streak of light, shooting into Fu Qingjin's body and immediately forcing out the ghastly qi.
"The Dauntless abbot said I possess a great buddhist nature," said Li Qingshan.
"Just why have you come?"
"I'm a guest elder of the Sword Collection palace. The Sword Collection palace still owes me a sword!" said Li Qingshan.
"Since you're a guest elder, why are you helping the Umbral Yin sect?" asked the master of the Sword Collection palace.
"What I hate the most in my life is bullying the weak and outnumbering the weak, so I couldn't help but stand up for the weak. As for the Umbral Yin sect or the Sword Collection palace, I didn't really consider it."
"Oh! You're a Demon King, so you do know what standing up for the weak is, "said the master of the Sword Collection palace.
"That's none of your business. If you don't do anything, I'll be leaving." Li Qingshan took off.
"Hold on!" The master of the Sword Collection palace blocked his way in a flash. Ming Concubine and Ji Xuanri worked together, and the sword formation continued to seal up Li Qingshan, preventing him from taking another step forward.
"Do you really want to kill me?" Li Qingshan asked.
