"Yes, mistress." Ye Liusu closed her eyes, but she refused to accept it inside.
"My good daughter, I'm doing all of this for your own good. You'll understand in the future." Ye Mingzhu let go and gently touched Ye Liusu's face.
After completing the deal, Li Qingshan immediately set off on his journey back. After being scratched several hundred times by Blood Shadow, a lot of his daemon qi had already been depleted. If this dragged on, he would probably not be able to maintain his mirror clone for much longer.
Blacklustre city completely vanished into the darkness behind them, and the sound of the waterfall grew closer and closer. The three of them travelled against the flow, and after an hour, Li Qingshan suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong, master?" Ye Liubo asked. Ye Liusu frowned, as if she had sensed something as well.
"Hmph, you're just haunting me. Let's go!" Li Qingshan picked up Ye Liubo and sped up.
Blood Shadow unfurled his cloak and whistled up the waterfall. He was like a huge, black bat. His teeth protruded from his mouth, making his handsome face seem very vicious. He said, "North Moon, are you bold enough to fight me? Let me see just what you're capable of killing the elders of the three mountains. "
His voice was not loud, but it pierced through the cavern like an invisible sword, reaching Li Qingshan's ears and producing an ear-piercing hum.
"You're bold enough to hunt me down? Aren't you afraid of ma 'am Spider Queen's punishment? "Li Qingshan called out. Wild gusts of wind wrapped in wind blades shot out with his voice.
"I won't kill you. I'll just suck every single drop of blood from you so that you understand the consequences of offending me." Blood Shadow unfurled his cloak and shattered the wind blades. He did not slow down at all.
"I don't have time to play tricks like that with you."
As they spoke, the distance between them shrank by half. Compared to Blood Shadow, the three of them moved at a speed that was nothing. They were horrendously slow.
"You guys go first. I'll deal with him!"
Li Qingshan stopped and turned around. He handed the hundred treasures pouch and saber to Ye Liubo, then tossed Ye Liubo to Ye Liusu.
"Master, I can help you." Ye Liusu held a curved sword in her hand.
"It's rare for you to have such loyalty, but his target is me. Protect Liubo and yourself. This is an order! "
Ye Liusu didn't say anything and left immediately. Li Qingshan turned around and flew towards a nearby cave. Blood Shadow arrived in a flash, almost without any hesitation. He immediately chased after Li Qingshan. At this moment, Li Qingshan's aura suddenly disappeared.
"Child's play!" Blood Shadow sneered. The sound waves spread like a fine filter, leaving no gaps. Immediately, Li Qingshan's figure appeared.
As the chase continued, the distance between the two of them rapidly shortened.
The wind whistled, and the figure moved swiftly. In Li Qingshan's eyes, the deep cave was like a roller coaster, undulating and wriggling like intestines.
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks. The cave in front of him was cut off. It was a dead end.
Li Qingshan let out a breath. It's about time! He pressed his hand on the rock wall.
Blood Shadow had already sensed the situation in the cave. The corner of his mouth curled up, and he instantly turned into the cave. He saw Li Qingshan a thousand feet away. To him, this distance could be covered in a breath's time.
Rumble! Tremors filled the cave. Cracks instantly covered the rock wall, and thousands of kilograms of earth and rocks fell.
Li Qingshan's mocking face. Smoke and dust rose, and the sound wave detection was interrupted. "Don't even think of escaping!"
Blood Shadow advanced instead of retreating. His figure turned rapidly, and he turned into a black and red drill, penetrating the layers of earth and rocks. Giant rocks crumbled into dust like chunks of earth.
But when he came to the depths of the cave, Li Qingshan had disappeared, as if he had evaporated into thin air.
Releasing these shockwaves had used up the last of his demonic aura. The mirror avatar could not maintain it, and it naturally dissipated.
"Very good, I have already remembered this name, and this smell. North Moon, I will taste the taste of your blood sooner or later! " Anger flashed across his face. Blood Shadow raised his head and sniffed, revealing his fangs with a ferocious smile. He flung his cloak, turned around, and left.
…..
"Master will be fine, right?" Ye Liubo said anxiously.
Ye Liusu remained silent. He went to lure the enemy away, and let his servant escape. This kind of monster, no, this kind of person, she had never seen before.
In the sea of Blue Butterfly flowers, Li Qingshan opened his eyes. The sneer on his face had yet to vanish. If his original body were here, he definitely would have fought Blood Shadow.
Glancing at Little Ann, who was focused on forging artifacts, Li Qingshan closed his eyes again. All of the pills in the Lone Grave Elder and the Golden Pheasant Elder's hundred treasures pouches had already entered his stomach. He had cleaned up everything the two sects had accumulated over the years.
After becoming a Daemon General, his digestive abilities had become even stronger. The pills were converted into spiritual qi, pushing for the third layer of the Spirit Turtle's Method of Sea Suppression.
Li Qingshan's eyes suddenly snapped open. He extended his hand into his bosom, and the Scarlet Wolf tablet flashed rapidly.
This was an urgent summons from the Hawkwolf Guard!
Li Qingshan extended a finger and touched it gently. The tablet returned to normal. If he did not respond, he would be treated as having died in the line of duty, so Li Qingshan carried it on him the entire time. Of course, it did not have any tracking function.
"Just what has happened? Does it have to do with the three elders? Whatever, I'll finish practising the Spirit Turtle's Method of Sea Suppression first. I still have to wait for them to return. "
He sank into his thoughts once more. After who knew how long, all of the pills had been consumed. A strand of spiritual qi rampaged through Li Qingshan's body. If it were not for the fact that his body was tough enough, this power alone would have been enough to blow him to pieces.
The spirit turtle's daemon core revolved rapidly, forming a huge swirl above his sea of qi. It sucked in the spiritual qi strand by strand.
The spiritual qi decreased, but the spirit turtle's daemon core shone brighter and brighter. When the final strand of spiritual qi was drained, the spirit turtle's daemon core had already shone like a blue sun, shining with unprecedented light.
The light was powerful, but not dazzling. It was filled with a tranquil aura, as if it could remain unmoving for tens of thousands of years.
In the cavern, Li Qingshan shuddered. His red hair danced like fire as rippling blue light filled the entire cavern. A tremendous daemon qi rose up.
Little Ann stowed away the prayer bead he had refined and turned around. The slumbering milliped was startled awake as well.
In human terms, the tiger demon and ox demon were Body Practitioners, while the spirit turtle was Qi Practitioners. It was the true core of Li Qingshan's cultivation as a daemon.
In his sea of qi, the spirit turtle's daemon core bobbed up and down. Suddenly, cracks appeared on its surface, producing a cracking sound. It collapsed loudly, kicking up huge waves as his sea of qi surged.
Li Qingshan peered into his body and saw that his perfectly round daemon core had actually turned into the shape of a turtle shell. It was as high as the sky and as flat as the ground. On the back of the turtle, he coiled around the mound. The profound inscriptions crisscrossed, multicoloured as they circulated the four seasons.
In the turtle shell. Vaguely, something was about to break out.
He came to an understanding. It was the spirit turtle's head, tail, and limbs. However, due to his insufficient cultivation, the turtle shell was still a mess. It had not condensed its true form.
But even with that being the case, his daemon qi had reached an unprecedented peak.
His senses had multiplied as well. The world in his eyes had become vastly different.
Many messy pieces of information surged into his head, making him feel confused. However, they vaguely indicated the changes of fortune and the ebb and flow of fate.
Little Ann had once told him about the feeling when he performed divination. He understood that he was in a similar state.
In the endlessly spinning kaleidoscope. It was as if another world existed there, a profound world that regular cultivators would struggle to come into contact with.
The spirit turtle knew fortune and misfortune. It believed without words.
After breaking free from that state, Li Qingshan suddenly became convinced. Wang Pushi had summoned him back in such a hurry precisely because of the three elders.
This conviction was groundless, but it was firm and unwavering.
Li Qingshan smiled. Finally, he took another step forward!
… …
"It's master's daemon qi," Ye Liubo said in surprise and joy.
Ye Liusu found this slightly strange. Why was he ahead of them instead? However, when she thought about his various abilities, she did not take it to heart. She felt at ease for some reason and quickened her pace.
"Master!" Ye Liubo flew into Li Qingshan's arms. Li Qingshan patted her back. "You've returned."
Ye Liubo originally wanted to give him another French kiss, but when she met his clear, unfazed eyes, she was afraid to act up for some reason. She lay in his arms obediently.
Ye Liusu was even more sensitive. All she felt was that Li Qingshan had lost some of his violence and impetuousness. Instead, he had gained a sense of maturity and wisdom. The pressure she felt from him seemed to have lessened significantly, but he was even more unfathomable. She dared not tarry, and there was also a sense of unparalleled strength. She also called out.
"Master … Blood Shadow …"
"I've shaken him off. I don't have time to waste with him. Right, I need to go out and complete the mission given to me by Madam Spider Queen. The underground world will still be managed by you, King Ye Liusu. Don't let anyone disturb Milliped's cultivation.
"What? No, it's too dangerous above ground!" Ye Liubo turned pale with fright. The world above ground was filled with human cultivators. In her eyes, it was filled with killing intent and incomparably dangerous. This was the same as how the cultivators above ground viewed the underground world.
"I have my own plans. Right, the hundred treasures pouch that we agreed on." Li Qingshan took out a hundred treasures pouch that was about the same size and handed it to Ye Liubo.
"Thank you, master, but …"
"No buts!"
"Yes." Ye Liubo's expression was full of grievance.
"You can try this pill. It might be able to assist you with the heavenly tribulation." Li Qingshan took out a True Spirit pill from his hundred treasures pouch and placed it in Ye Liubo's hand. Although he had no idea how effective a pill refined for human cultivators would be on night roamers, since it had the word "human" in it, it should still be of some use.
Apart from increasing his own cultivation, a few capable subordinates were crucial too. Mirror clones were good, but they were unable to take care of everything. If Ye Liubo could undergo the heavenly tribulation, then the underground trade could be left to her. She would not have to take care of everything herself.
Ye Liusu's gaze was drawn away by the True Spirit pill. She sighed in amazement inside, There's actually such a wondrous pill in this world!
Ye Liubo had already become so touched that she was speechless. She understood the value of the pill even without saying.
"What's wrong?" Li Qingshan saw how Ye Liubo's eyes had reddened and was rather surprised.
"Ever since I was young, no one has ever treated me so well. I definitely won't let you down, master!"
Li Qingshan was rather embarrassed. Most of the time, what he considered first were benefits and returns. However, there was no such thing as a pure relationship that could completely disregard benefits in the world. Even if it did exist, it would be fragile and fragile.
People needed each other, so they would form bonds. Because they no longer needed each other, they would remove the alliance. That had always been the logic of the world.
What he wanted to be was not a master who wholeheartedly thought for his servant, but a master who was trusted and needed by his servant, so he accepted this loyalty calmly. (To be continued)
