"Even if you don't threaten me, I don't need you!"
The yin demons continued to patrol the icy plains. To be honest, this job was actually quite boring. After all this time, he had not even seen a single proper demonic beast, let alone demonfolk. He was not nervous or excited at all.
"Have they all curled up because it's cold?"
Although he had turned down the Demon Heart of Blacksun, the Demon domain did not reject him at all as someone who had almost become a demon seed. Instead, it allowed him to use the Illusion Demon Escape even more freely. It was even easier than the human realm.
Speaking of which, his journey this time was all because of his grievances with his own people. He had not been attacked by demonfolk along the way. Instead, he had been threatened and slapped by his own people.
And, these three bastards just happened to be the three most powerful figures in Black Cloud City. Sure enough, the greatest enemy comes from behind! Fortunately, I'm a loyal person. If it were someone else, they would have joined the enemy in anger a long time ago.
"But this is far too boring. Am I supposed to run errands? I still have to find a way to capture a demonfolk and ask them how to get to Qingqishan! The information says that demonfolk have a large city as well. It just happens to face Black Cloud City from afar. Do you want to take a look? Just a look. "
Li Liehuo did not ask him to investigate either, as that was no different from sending him to his death, at least to regular Yin Spirit cultivators.
Even for him, this was a very dangerous matter. A military fortress with the Demon Emperor in charge was no easier to deal with than Ao Xuan in the Xuanming Cave Abode. Moreover, he didn't have any teammates this time, and his original body wasn't here either. Once his tracks were exposed, the Yin Demons would definitely be destroyed.
However, as someone who would not be comfortable unless he asked for it, he still arrived before the fortress between the icy mountains and valleys.
In the wind and snow, he could vaguely make out the three large, blood-red words, Coldblood Pass.
Li Qingshan curled his lip. "What a chuunibyou name!" However, according to the culture and customs of the Demon domain, 'coldblood' was a compliment, similar to 'despicable, shameless, cruel and heartless'. They were all compliments, so there was nothing strange about it.
However, what he found strange was that there was not a single person on the walls. Only the banners fluttered in the wind. The city was deathly silent.
"There's no one standing guard on the walls. Was the military discipline of the demonfolk so poor? But even so, there are at least 200,000 soldiers here. Why is there no sound at all? Isn't the military discipline a little too good? "
He tried to sneak closer. When he arrived at Coldblood Pass, he still did not feel the obstruction of the formation. A stone fortress alone could not stop him at all. He almost suspected that this was a trap. Once he stepped into the city, he would immediately be ambushed. The sounds of killing shook the heavens.
But this idea was too ridiculous. Therefore, he bravely passed through the pass and entered the city. The scene in front of him shocked him. Even if there was an ambush from all sides, he wouldn't be so surprised.
Collapsed buildings and tumbling ice rocks formed a large area of ruins, as if a vicious beast had wreaked havoc here. The corpses of demonfolk littered the entire valley. Even the wind was unable to disperse the overly heavy smell of blood. In particular, a few large pits were piled up with the incomplete limbs of demonfolk. The blood had condensed into a lake of ice.
Those were the eyes of those who died with everlasting regret. Their faces were frozen with hatred and fear. It was like a living hell.
"That's far too exciting!"
Li Qingshan pursed his lips. He was in high spirits as he advanced carefully. However, even after walking for quite some time, he still did not discover a single living creature.
"Don't tell me all of this is because of that woman, Chao Tianjiao! Isn't that a little too much? "
Li Qingshan never imagined that all of this was because of him. Instead, he thought of Chao Tianjiao who radiated with murderousness. However, she had managed to take down a stronghold of demonfolk alone. Not only that, but she had even massacred the entire city.
No, that was impossible! The human emperors of the human realm were all capable of such brutality. They would have thrashed the demonfolk a long time ago.
In reality, the Demon King Tu Wancheng had immediately returned to the depths of the Demon domain under the supervision of the faceless evil god to await further orders after he had finished cleaning up. He left behind an empty city here. It was impossible for humans to come and occupy this place anyway.
Li Qingshan was confused. He relied on his instincts to confirm, "Something major must have happened. It's probably related to that woman, Chao Tianjiao!" Instead, he felt a little more admiration for her. "To be able to create such a great scene, I really have to give it to you."
Although he did not manage to capture a single demonfolk to ask for directions, he had already made a great profit. He took out his sumeru ring and collected several hundred thousand corpses effortlessly. He brought them back for Little Ann to burn. There were also many fine armour and weapons. These items would all be useful in the future.
As a result, he left this "Coldblood Pass" with a bountiful harvest, returning to Black Cloud city.
… …
Black Cloud city, Blaze Hall.
The Blaze Legion was currently holding a monthly meeting. Li Liehuo asked the bearded man with a smile, "Old Hu, how's the preparation for the competition of the entire army?"
Hu Zhigang patted his chest. "Don't worry, first senior brother. I've already told our brothers to train harder. We'll definitely make those bitches of the Black Tortoise squad suffer this time!"
Everyone laughed aloud. The hall was filled with a warm atmosphere.
Someone said, "Has that Li guy left the city yet?"
Hu Zhigang sneered. "Definitely not. I just saw him planting flowers and grass outside the tower yesterday. He probably still thinks this is a herb garden!"
This led to another round of laughter. They all said,
"I really don't know what's in his head. He's actually planting flowers in Black Cloud city!"
"He's scared. Of course he has to calm himself down and comfort him."
"Hmph, how dare he act so arrogantly in front of first senior brother when he's so cowardly. Piss off and drink milk!"
Li Liehuo said to a burly colonel at the door, "If he still doesn't set off, send someone to urge him. If he misses the deadline, don't blame me for not reminding him when he's punished by military law!"
"Yes, I'll go urge him right now. Hehe, I can also take a look at his garden." The colonel immediately stood up and left. Before long, he returned with a strange expression.
Li Liehuo asked, "How come he's back so soon?"
"That's … hard to say!"
Hu Zhigang said impatiently, "Stop stuttering. Has he already left the city, or is he afraid to see you?"
"He said that first senior brother's mission has been completed and he has something important to report. He'll report back immediately!"
The Fiery Blaze Hall was in an uproar. The generals looked at each other. How long had it been? How could such a large area be explored in such a short time?
Hu Zhigang even cursed, "That bastard dares to treat the general's order as a child's play. He deserves to die!"
Li Liehuo sneered, "What a joke!" The hall immediately quieted down.
"Tell him to report back immediately. I want to see what important matter he has to report!"
Li Liehuo's tone was filled with killing intent. How dare he ignore his military order. Even if there was no enmity between them, he would not forgive him.
"There's no need to invite him. Li Qingshan is here!"
Li Qingshan's voice came from outside the hall.
Li Liehuo shouted, "Come in!"
As a result, Li Qingshan walked in openly.
"What do you have to report?" Li Liehuo suppressed his anger. His eyes shone as if he wanted to eat someone alive, "Think carefully. Lying about military intelligence is a capital offense!"
"I understand!" Li Qingshan shrugged and picked his ears. He raised his head and looked at the sky before scratching his head as if he was trying to organise his words.
The hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Everyone stared at him. Afterwards, they heard him say, "The two to three hundred thousand demonfolk in Coldblood pass are all dead."
"Fuck you!" Li Liehuo flew into a rage. He kicked the stone table in front of him away, smashing it towards Li Qingshan's face.
Li Qingshan smashed the stone table with a punch, and shrapnel shot through the hall. The generals were not as powerful as him, but with the first senior brother's furious strike coupled with the power of tremors that Li Qingshan had secretly unleashed, a series of cries rang out. Basically everyone was injured. If they were lucky, they were covered in dust.
Li Qingshan's lips curled into a smile. He took a step forward and said righteously, "What right do you have to beat people up? What's so great about being an army commander? Can you beat people up as you please just because you're an army commander? "
The three questions were as loud as thunder. The entire Black Cloud City heard them loud and clear.
In the Black Tortoise hall, Chao Tianjiao was holding a regular meeting as well. The generals were all shocked when they heard that. They all looked at their commander.
Chao Tianjiao's expression changed. She broke out into laughter, "It's that kid!"
Originally, she was very angry that Ge Xing did not arrange for Li Qingshan to join her Black Tortoise Army, but she suddenly felt rather fortunate now. With that kid's temper, it would be strange if he did not make a fuss!
In the Pure Land temple, the abbot was hosting the morning meeting. He was also stunned by the three questions. The two commanders in the city were both short-tempered and decisive.
