Green smoke curled up into the air, and the lofty buddha statue stood high above. Its eyes were slightly shut, completely unfazed. The murals depicted arhats and goddesses, as well as the living beings of the eight tribes, all in different expressions. They were life-like, overlooking everything in the hall.
"Please punish him together!"
The four words echoed through the hall like a bolt of lightning, landing in everyone's hearts. They all looked at Li Qingshan.
Demon King! Releasing the Soaring Locust King! Colluding with the Demon domain!
As long as any single one of these accusations were true, it would be enough to kill him right here and now.
Li Qingshan stood proudly, unfazed. His heart sank. He was not worried about these slander and accusations. He was worried about Hwa Seung-zan. Even when his life was threatened, he believed that Hwa Seung-zan would never say something like that unless his mind was under control.
"Is this the secret of the sword? The Sword Collection palace! "
Little Ann wanted to speak up for him, but he saw Li Qingshan's face sink. He said nothing. He did not want to argue with his friend. Now that the situation had developed to this point, there was nothing he could do about it! He had not spent all these years of arduous cultivation to bicker with others!
As a result, Little Ann let go of his hand and silently retreated to one side.
Ji Xuanri smiled. "Sister Xuanyue, with your current identity and status, you should draw a clear line between you and people like that."
Little Ann smiled at him. She was devastatingly beautiful. Ji Xuanri was stunned. He was speechless.
"Fellow Hua, you said my disciple colluded with the Demon domain and released the Soaring Locust King. Do you have any proof?" the Unraging monk asked.
"Unraging monk, it's already come to this, yet you still want to protect him? If you don't believe me, then please ask him to release his aura. Let's see whether it's demon qi or not! "
Hwa Seung-zan was aggressive. His face was filled with regret and helplessness. He had used his intelligence and wisdom to put Li Qingshan to death.
The Unraging monk frowned. This was indeed the greatest flaw. Li Qingshan's cultivation was without a doubt that he was a Demon King. The various twists and turns in this matter were difficult to explain to others. Once it was exposed, it was inevitable that people would believe him slightly if he colluded with the Demon domain, which would be a huge scandal for the monastery.
Gu Yanying frowned slightly. There was something wrong with Xiao Hua's behavior!
Chu Lie King said, "Li Qingshan, release your aura! As for whether or not you colluded with the Infernal domain, you can use the Xiezhi's horn to verify it. This king will prove your innocence. "
"There's no need. I'm not innocent, and I don't need any innocence!"
Li Qingshan refused indifferently. He was already tired of following the plot set up by others. Wasn't it enough to be played to this extent?
So what if he could prove he was not colluding with the Infernal domain in the end? Would he be able to save Hwa Seung-zan? Perhaps he had already lost this friend forever.
"You!" Chu Lie King raised an eyebrow. He never expected him to refuse so straightforwardly.
"In other words, you admit you're a Demon King, colluding with the Demon domain and releasing the Soaring Locust King?" Ming Fei communicated with him at the same time. "Kid, how does it feel to be betrayed? You brought this upon yourselves. Originally, all you had to do was refine the Soul Switching sword obediently. "
Li Qingshan did not answer. He remained silent like a rock.
Hwa Seung-zan continued, "And, I even know a great secret about this person. He has another identity …"
Li Qingshan raised his hand and pointed directly at Hwa Seung-zan. Right when everyone thought he would retort angrily and threaten him, he said seriously, "This person is my friend.
I want to take him away. Those who stand in my way will die! "
Hwa Seung-zan shuddered inside. He met Li Qingshan's eyes, only to see that there was no hatred or blame in his black eyes, only apologetic and concerned.
"Li Qingshan, you won't be taking anyone away today." Ming Fei glanced backwards. "Chengzan, what other identity does he have? Tell us! "
She was rather curious as well. Just what other secrets did Li Qingshan have yet to expose? The sight of friends killing each other sure was touching!
"I … Qingshan …" Hwa Seung-zan's voice was hoarse. His expression twisted as he struggled. His handsome face immediately became rather vicious. His body slowly bent, and he knelt on the ground. A sliver of determination flashed through his eyes as he gritted his teeth. A strand of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth, dripping onto the golden brick.
Everyone was stunned. The Dauntless monk was alarmed. Seeing blood in the grand hall was extremely ominous.
"Chengzan!" Li Qingshan's eyes immediately reddened. He wanted to go over, but Ming Fei blocked his way again. "Li Qingshan, stop putting on an act. If you want to silence me, you'll have to get through me first!"
Then she communicated secretly, "Hmph, you sure can put up with it. Though, looks like I really can't spare him. Li Qingshan, I can give you another chance. If you kneel and admit your guilt right now, I can still spare his life. Otherwise … "
Li Qingshan took a step forward, and thousands of golden bricks shattered. The grand hall shook. He swung his fist!
"Qingshan, you mustn't!" The Unraging monk stopped him loudly. Everyone else was surprised. "He's actually bold enough to attack!"
A hint of a smile flashed through Ming Fei's eyes. Had he finally run out of patience? Right from the beginning, she had never thought about proving that Li Qingshan was colluding with the Demon domain. All she needed to do was infuriate him.
He had used the methods of a Demon King to attack her, the princess, in front of everyone. Just this crime alone was punishable by death!
With a clang, the sword left its sheath!
The blade trembled and turned into nothingness, but it produced a strange hum. The space there rippled, overlapping with one another.
The Sword of Clear Void — one of the ten famed swords of the Sword Collection palace. It possessed an extremely wondrous power. It could form a world of its own for defence, while it could split space for offence.
In that moment, Ming Fei seemed to leave the grand hall and stand in a different world. She sneered at Li Qingshan's incoming fist and communicated secretly.
"When I faced that bitch the Dark Queen that day, I was only intentionally hiding my strength. Do you really think you can harm me?"
Ming Fei suddenly discovered that Li Qingshan's eyes had turned red. It was not a bloodshot red, but a clear, scarlet red. His long hair fluttered like fire, and his face became extremely unfamiliar. A pair of curved ox horns grew on his head, engraved with the two words "North Moon".
In an instant, a demonic aura soared into the sky, causing everyone's expression to change. Even the majestic golden Buddha statue dimmed.
"The Nightmare Tiger's Demonic Eye!"
Ming Fei's breathing halted. She became dazed, and she could not help but feel a hint of fear.
"Strength of the Earth!"
Ming Fei widened her eyes. The incoming fist rapidly expanded, filling her entire field of vision like a mountain.
"Tremors of the Ox Demon!"
Black cracks criss-crossed, and the overlapping space shattered. The Sword of Clear Void materialized before shattering loudly!
"Fury of the Tiger Demon!"
Li Qingshan let out a furious roar, and his fist landed heavily on Ming Fei's face.
"How could this be …" Ming Fei's face was filled with disbelief. Then, her beautiful face shattered like the Clear Sky Sword. The vibrating power spread through her entire body, turning her into a bloody mist. Thousands of blood droplets swept past everyone's eyes, splashing onto the Buddha murals and dying the Hall of Great Strength red.
