The Blackwater Salamander had been wondering what kind of monster Li Qingshan was. Holy Church
Li Qingshan said, "You're the thing!" He swung his fist down. Even though the Blackwater Salamander was exhausted, it was still agile and dodged.
Li Qingshan glared at it. "You dare to dodge when the leader hits you? Do you want to live or not? "
Little Ann's two skulls threatened it. The Blackwater Salamander had no choice but to go forward and hit Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan heaved a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground. He looked at his number one soldier in satisfaction. He didn't expect that he would become a leader in the Demon Dao before he even became a Black Wolf Commander. Moreover, the people he led were all top-notch powerful monsters.
The Blackwater Salamander's strength, according to human Qi Refinement standards, was around the ninth or tenth layer. It wasn't far from becoming a Daemon General.
If Li Qingshan's strength was calculated according to Qi Refinement standards, it would already be amazing if he could reach the seventh or eighth layer. He was still very far away from becoming a Daemon General. It couldn't be helped. Daemon cultivation was extremely time-consuming. Being able to reach this level was already a great help from those pills.
This victory was completely due to the three powerful divine abilities.
Seeing that there was no danger, the Blackwater Salamander stopped to rest. It carefully looked at Little Ann and said, "Leader, that milliped …"
Li Qingshan said, "Call him 'King'."
The Blackwater Salamander said, "Why did King Milliped want you to beat me up?"
Li Qingshan said, "Not just you. I want to beat up all the monsters on the ground. If they listen to my orders, then I'll let them go. If they don't, then I'll kill them all."
Although the Blackwater Salamander wasn't the strongest monster on the ground, it was the most difficult to deal with. Milliped didn't want to go deep into the water. Even if he did, it wouldn't be easy to subdue him. That was why Li Qingshan made it his first target.
The Blackwater Salamander glanced at Little Ann. "Leader, this is?"
Li Qingshan said, "This is the deputy leader!"
The flames in Little Ann's eye sockets flickered. He had actually become the deputy leader. Holy Church
Li Qingshan said, "Do you know where King Milliped's cave is?"
"I know, I know!" On this piece of land, as long as it was a demon with a bit of intelligence, it would probably know.
Li Qingshan said, "Alright, I will be holding a meeting there in three months. At that time, if you dare to not show up, you can forget about staying in this Black Water Lake."
He didn't just want to defeat all these daemons and subdue them one by one. His most fundamental goal was to turn them into a fighting force that he could deploy. That was why he and Milliped had come up with this Demon Gathering, gathering all the daemons who had condensed Yao Cores.
The Blackwater Salamander had no choice but to agree.
With a thought, Li Qingshan took out an uneaten roasted chicken from his hundred treasures pouch and tossed it to the Blackwater Salamander.
The Blackwater Salamander swallowed it in one gulp. The taste of the various seasonings, especially the salt, melted in its mouth. It excitedly swam around Li Qingshan and stared at Li Qingshan. "Leader, do you have any more?"
Li Qingshan thought to himself, just as I expected. Although this underground place was a huge treasure trove with all sorts of spirit veins and spirit herbs, the food resources here were far less abundant than those on the surface. However, the food resources here were far less abundant than on the surface. Even a demon general like Milliped could not eat whatever he wanted, much less these ordinary demons.
Although they wouldn't die even if they didn't eat for ten years as long as they breathed in the spiritual energy of the world in this black water, their instincts wouldn't disappear. The carrot and the stick had always been the only way to keep his subordinates in check. Li Qingshan used it appropriately, and it had a miraculous effect.
"Hmph, when you go, you can eat as much of this as you want!"
"I will definitely go! I will definitely go! " The Blackwater Salamander instantly looked forward to it. If it could eat this every day, it wouldn't mind becoming a daemon soldier.
Li Qingshan and Little Ann left the black water and ate a hundred herb pill to recover most of their daemon qi. Only then did he ask Little Ann curiously, "How did you become like this again?"
Little Ann explained. So it was to hide her identity. The Holy Church and the others would eventually return to the surface. If she remained like this, too many pairs of eyes would remember her underground. Who knew when Li Qingshan's identity would be exposed? Furthermore, in this underground world, a non-human appearance was actually more convenient than a human appearance.
Li Qingshan was quite impressed with Little Ann's caution. The human world and the daemon world might not always overlap. There was nothing wrong with being more careful. They could communicate through aura anyway. Little Ann's aura was the rising flames in her body.
"Let's go to the next place."
…
Outside Salt Mountain City, in the garden behind the Silent Manor.
Li Qingshan looked at the light above his head and felt dizzy. He turned to Milliped and said, "I'll go prepare some food and wine for the guests. You can go back first!"
Milliped left reluctantly. Li Qingshan brought Little Ann to the surface and saw that it was a vast expanse of snow.
Snow covered the ground and the distant mountains. Clearly, it had snowed a few more times while he was away.
Li Qingshan felt at ease. He exchanged a smile with Little Ann beside him.
This expedition against the daemons was much smoother than Li Qingshan had imagined. Apart from the tough Blackwater Salamander, there were also a few powerful daemons.
One of them was a thirty-meter-long boulder viper. It was even more powerful than the Blackwater Salamander. It had almost completely replaced its body with stone, making it invulnerable. Furthermore, it had melded into the ground and concealed its aura. Its sudden ambush had almost injured Li Qingshan.
However, when Li Qingshan stated his intentions, the boulder viper immediately expressed its willingness to obey Milliped's orders and participate in the demon gathering.
The Blackwater Salamander only dared to look down on Milliped because of its geographical advantage. However, even the boulder viper did not dare to face a daemon general head-on.
Thus, Li Qingshan did not even bring out the carrot or the stick to recruit a second powerful daemon soldier. As long as the king had absolute strength, it was easy for the generals who went out to battle.
Although there were a few battles, they were mostly close calls. Of course, this was also because Li Qingshan was strong enough. Otherwise, he would have died many times over.
Although the strongest daemons were afraid of Milliped's strength, they still had to test the waters against Li Qingshan, the leader of the daemon soldiers. The boulder viper had submitted so quickly because its ambush on Li Qingshan had failed. Instead, Li Qingshan had cracked the stone on its body with a punch.
Although Li Qingshan did not dare to say that he had more than a fifty percent chance of winning in a fight to the death, no daemon would fight a daemon of the same level for no reason.
Everyone thought that humans were intelligent and rational, while daemons were bloodthirsty and crazy.
However, this was not the case. Wild beasts in the wilderness would not fight to the death with their opponents even if they were fighting for a mate or territory. The loser would not even suffer too much damage. Often, they would use their roars to intimidate their opponents and determine the victor.
However, humans would often gamble their lives for women and power. Even if they knew that they were no match for the daemon, they would still fight. In the end, they would die without repentance. Sometimes, a small conflict would escalate from insults to fights, and then to fights to the death. It was all for the sake of an illusory dignity.
Wild beasts only had survival instincts. They did not have complex emotions like humans. This did not change after they became daemons.
As a result, Li Qingshan faced a group of extraordinarily rational opponents.
Even the powerful daemons obeyed him, much less the weaker ones. Almost as soon as Li Qingshan released his daemon aura, the lesser daemons bowed their heads. It was so simple that even Li Qingshan did not expect it to be so simple. It had only taken him a month, which was far less than he had expected.
Milliped was too stupid and easily tricked. He also did not have the awareness to gather his subordinates, which was why he was where he was today. When Li Qingshan made up for Milliped's lack of intelligence, he immediately gained control over the territory.
With that, Li Qingshan basically gained several dozen daemon soldiers under his command. Only then did his identity as the leader of the daemon soldiers become real. Once the daemon gathering was over and he established his rule, he could mobilize these daemon soldiers. He also had a Daemon General like Milliped as a friend.
If the sect still wanted to deal with him, they would just be digging their own graves. As long as they had not undergone the heavenly tribulation, he could deal with them no matter how many came. Even if the sect master ventured underground, he would have to taste the power of a carapaced Daemon General.
With a beautiful vision for the future, Li Qingshan put on his large, conical hat again and carried the bamboo basket on his back. He let Little Ann in.
Although he could return to his normal state, he purposefully maintained his huge figure so that it would be easier for him to move about in the human world. In order to successfully hold the daemon gathering this time, a grand banquet was necessary. This matter also fell on Yu Shukuang.
In the Proud Sword manor, Yu Shukuang grabbed Li Qingshan's hand excitedly. "You've finally returned!"
Li Qingshan saw how flustered Yu Shukuang was, so he asked in a hurry, "What happened?"
Yu Shukuang told him the whole story, and Li Qingshan said furiously, "You've gone too far. Have you contacted Hua Chenglu?"
Yu Shukuang said bitterly, "I've already sent the letter, but I haven't received a reply."
Li Qingshan knew that even if Hua Chenglu had done something, it was impossible for her to specially reply and explain to Yu Shukuang. However, this probably would not be so simple. Even if Hua Chenglu wanted to, the Hua family might not necessarily fall out with the Green Vine mountain over a friendship between children.
He had already witnessed the arrogance and brutality of cultivation sects with his sect. They were even bold enough to kill Hawkwolf guards, let alone forcefully recruit a disciple.
Yu Shukuang said, "What do we do now? Sigh, it's all because I'm useless as a father!"
Li Qingshan tried to persuade him, "You don't have to worry too much. She's going to become someone's disciple. At most, she'll suffer a little. She won't be in any danger. It's not a bad thing for her to experience the dangers of the world. "The Green Vine mountain was a proper sect after all, not a den of bandits.
Yu Shukuang sighed heavily. That was what he said, but how could he stop worrying?
Li Qingshan was rather worried as well. He liked Yu Zijian's straightforwardness and kindness very much. He did not want her to be bullied.
