"He's actually able to face sir Blood Shadow's attacks so easily. The North Moon really isn't a regular Daemon General. His existence alone can change the situation underground."
Ye Mingzhu backed to one side and watched on from afar. She was surprised before sinking into her thoughts.
In the darkness, countless pairs of eyes also watched this startling sight. They all had different thoughts.
When Li Qingshan was still a daemon, even when the three elders worked together, they were unable to smash through his Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell so easily, let alone now that he was a Daemon General. Why don't you try smashing through the Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell at thirty percent strength?
"Blood Shadow, did you not eat today? Do you want me to try? "Strong Stone's laughter drowned out the sound of the wind. He was eager to see who was stronger and tougher.
Li Qingshan did not ease up either. His daemon qi was being rapidly depleted. Once it reached a certain level, he would not even be able to maintain his mirror clone, let alone fight. And, he could tell that Blood Shadow had restricted his attacks to a very small area the entire time. He had not unleashed his true strength. After all, this was Cobweb city.
"Oh right, there's something else I forgot to tell you. I'm afraid that once I tell you, even ma 'am Spider Queen won't be bold enough to keep me underground anymore!"
"Oh? Blood Shadow, come back. "Helicoverpa Rosa finally said," I'd like to hear what I'm afraid of. "
Blood Shadow immediately returned to his original position as if nothing had happened. His face became even colder.
"Nothing. I just paid a visit to the Green Vine mountain after the tribulation and got some revenge."
Li Qingshan thought about it. What he had done on the Green Vine mountain definitely would not end so easily. He would probably get back to the daemons very soon. Since he could not keep it a secret, he might as well use it as a bargaining chip! He refused to believe that he would lose a Daemon General. Helicoverpa Rosa did not become angry at all after that. She refused to believe that the daemons would use him as a scapegoat so easily.
"You killed the Green Vine Elder!?" Helicoverpa Rosa was stunned too.
"No, he got away."
"Are you toying with us?" Blood Shadow said coldly. Helicoverpa Rosa's face turned cold.
"I never thought the old man Green Vine would be able to escape after being cut in half. Fortunately, though. The three of them happened to be together, so I killed the other two. "
"The Lone Grave Elder and the Golden Pheasant Elder?" Dragonsnail asked slowly. There was some surprise in her eyes as well.
"Not bad."
"What proof do you have?" Blood Shadow asked.
"Evidence? The humans would soon come to question them. I'd better leave now, lest I implicate the lords. "Li Qingshan turned around and left.
"Stop!"
Li Qingshan stopped and turned around, only to see Helicoverpa Rosa's pupils shrink into two dots. "If you dare to deceive me …"
"At Lady Spider Queen's disposal!"
"You've done very well." Helicoverpa Rosa stared at him for quite a while. A bloodthirsty smile appeared on her face.
"Ma 'am, this has to do with the Treaty of Kings. This child is a source of trouble. We can't let him live!" Blood Shadow advised.
"Blood Shadow, are you afraid?" Helicoverpa Rosa turned around. Her cold voice made Blood Shadow shiver. He knew he could no longer interfere with this matter.
"Coward!" Strong Stone sneered loudly. Lady Spider Queen was bent on war. What the North Moon was doing was perfect for the Spider Queen's taste. It was also perfect for his taste. Blood Shadow was just asking for a rebuff by saying something like that. However, this kid had killed a human Foundation Establishment cultivator before, while he did not have the opportunity. Would he not make lady Spider Queen look down on him?
"It was the humans who invaded the underground world en masse and killed daemons. It was the disciple of the Sword Collection palace, Fu Qingjin. He even snuck underground and used a type of incense to lure Milliped out, which led to this. It was the humans who broke the treaty first. "Li Qingshan tossed out another matter. He must have used this as a precondition. His chances of being betrayed were even smaller now.
"From today onwards, that territory belongs to you." Helicoverpa Rosa cut to the chase. If the humans came looking for trouble, that would be for the best. Even the dragon king had nothing to say about her actions.
"Thank you for your kindness, ma 'am Spider Queen."
"There's only one matter that I'm not too satisfied with."
"What is it?"
"Why is the Green Vine Elder still alive?"
"I will definitely satisfy ma 'am Spider Queen."
Helicoverpa Rosa smiled afterwards. She found Li Qingshan to be very pleasing to the eye. With a capable subordinate like him, she would be a little more confident in her battles against the other Daemon Commanders.
"How did you do it?"
Just when Li Qingshan was about to take his leave, Dragonsnail asked slowly. The three elders were not people to be trifled with. Judging from Li Qingshan's performance Just Now, he might be able to protect himself, but achieving that was almost impossible.
"Did you just say we should kill them together?" Strong Stone frowned.
"Yeah. I have my ways." Li Qingshan smiled and turned around to leave.
Dragonsnail pondered. Was that all his true strength? He possessed such strength right after undergoing the heavenly tribulation. If he was given time to develop, just what level would he reach? She could vaguely see the rise of a new star of the Daemon race.
Helicoverpa Rosa's eyes flickered, but she seemed to notice something. Her smile became even more vicious and brilliant.
After dealing with the matter of the territory, Li Qingshan stopped worrying. On the way back, Ye Mingzhu treated him with even more respect. She silently dismissed some of her vicious thoughts too.
Clearly, he had already gained the Spider Queen's favour. If anyone killed him, they would definitely incur the wrath of the Spider Queen. No night roamer could bear the consequences, so cooperation was the only choice left.
Returning to Blacklustre city, Ye Mingzhu immediately went to prepare the spiritual herbs for the first transaction. She wanted to exchange them for the talismans in Li Qingshan's possession.
At this moment, Ye Liubo played a crucial role. Li Qingshan did not understand the exact value of spiritual herbs and talismans underground, but Ye Liubo knew very well.
That was not all. She understood the importance of this resource to the clan, as well as the clan's ability to endure it all. She was sharp-tongued, constantly pushing the bottom line of the Spider Shadow clan, or even pushing it a little further.
It made the elders who negotiated with her glare at her furiously. They were almost tempted to draw their blades and stab this traitor to death.
Ye Liubo was fearless, as Li Qingshan sat nearby behind her. She was filled with confidence, desperately demonstrating her value as a servant. She also treated this as an opportunity for revenge.
She even drew an arcane treasure that said, "If you don't want to negotiate, I'll find another clan to work with", forcing the night roamer elders to turn purple. Such a large number of talismans and spiritual artifacts had indeed surpassed their own value. It was of great strategic significance.
If it were not for the fact that Ye Mingzhu had returned from Cobweb city and told them that Li Qingshan had already caught the eye of the Spider Queen, they really would have considered falling out with him.
In the end, it was Li Qingshan who could not stand it any longer. A high grade talisman was going to be exchanged for a thousand-year Snake Gall Flower. Even if it was an open robbery, it would not be so vicious. He cleared his throat. "Liubo, respect, respect."
He did not care too much about a high grade talisman or two. The Spider Shadow clan would have other uses in the future. Pressuring them too much was not a good thing.
Ye Liubo glanced at Li Qingshan grumpily. All she could do was lower the price, and only then did the elders ease up. In the end, they came to an agreement.
That was, they exchanged for it with a minimum price.
Li Qingshan obtained eleven spiritual herbs, and none of them were younger than five hundred years old. Above ground, even a hundred talismans would not be enough to exchange for a single one!
That was truly a huge profit!
After becoming a Daemon General, he had higher requirements for the quality and quantity of elixirs. Although elixirs such as Qi Gathering Pills and Qi Amassing Pills were still being produced, the efficiency was still not as good as when he absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
From Daemon General to Daemon Commander, he had to cross a millennium. Just the pills he obtained were simply a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood. Now that he had finally found a new way, his heart was filled with indescribable joy.
I can live for a thousand years?
Li Qingshan suddenly came back to his senses. Unknowingly, he already had a lifespan of a thousand years. This kind of feeling was very strange.
The lyrics went, "Borrow another five hundred years from the heavens", but he had already reached twice this number, far exceeding the extravagant hopes of mortals. What was he going to do with these thousand years? Once he thought about this question, he was somewhat at a loss. However, he quickly came to his senses. Of course, he would do what he wanted to do.
In his previous life, he had read many books about how painful it was to live a long life. His evaluation of it was only four words: moaning without illness. What he wanted to do, even a thousand years wouldn't be enough to do!
…
"My dear daughter, don't feel unhappy. This is just a temporary measure. You know that I have always doted on you the most. Otherwise, I would not have given the territory to you. You need to do everything you can to win his favour. It's best if you can make him fall in love with you. I can tell that he likes women too. "
"This will bring great benefits to our entire Spider Shadow clan. In this region, he'll definitely become a powerful figure that won't lose to the three sirs in the future," Ye Mingzhu called Ye Liusu to one side and said earnestly while taking advantage of the negotiation.
"I've never known how to win the favour of others. Are we supposed to rely on daemons and not fight for it with our own cultivation?"
"As long as we still live in this region, the status of otherfolk will never be higher than daemons. You need to understand this. The Bat Shadow clan is only bold enough to act so arrogantly because of sir Blood Shadow. As long as you do this well, the position of matriarch will be yours in the future. "
"What right does a servant have to inherit the position of matriarch? I haven't worked so hard for the sake of becoming matriarch, but for the sake of allowing all night roamers to see the stars and moon again. " Ye Liusu's gaze was determined, filled with unshakable conviction. Her identity as a servant had not changed at all.
"You want to go aboveground? Perhaps there'll be an opportunity very soon. The war between the humans and daemons is not far away, but don't take this as a good thing. If the war really does come, we'll definitely be fighting on the frontlines. "
"We can throw ourselves into the humans' …" "Shut up!"
Before Ye Liusu could even finish, Ye Mingzhu had already grabbed her by the neck.
"Why do you think we've been forced underground? It's all because of humans. In the eyes of daemons, we're only treated as a special race that needs to be restrained and restricted. However, in the eyes of humans, we're aliens through and through. We have to be slaughtered, or we have to be enslaved. Do you understand? If you dare to say those words again, I will kill you with my own hands! "(To be continued)
