The night wind whistled, and the drizzle filled his face.
Li Qingshan flapped his wings and flew through the dark sky. The half-transparent wings of wind would expand and contract at times. He was like a red fish, leaping out of the sea of clouds at times and falling into the rain at other times. As he did so, he rapidly familiarized himself with its usage.
At this moment, the spirit turtle's daemon core suddenly flickered, giving off a hint of warning.
Li Qingshan turned around and hovered in the air. All he saw was the sky, but he sensed nothing out of the ordinary. However, the feeling of being watched became clearer and clearer.
A streak of green light moved through the clouds. Fu Qingjin's expression was bleak, and his gaze was like lightning. When Li Qingshan stopped, he stopped as well, hiding in the clouds quietly.
The drizzle did not stop. They stood in silence.
Li Qingshan basically determined the other person's identity immediately. His trip to the tower had still exposed him at the end of the day. He wanted to use his clone to test his strength again, but when he thought about the three hundred treasures pouches on him, he turned around and flew downwards, entering the underground through a cavern.
"What a vigilant prey." Fu Qingjin revealed himself. With prey like this, the mission as a liaison would not be too boring. However, now was not the time to reel in the net.
… …
Travelling underground, Li Qingshan took out the underground mental map and searched for the path back to his territory. Just Now had made him truly understand what it meant to be in a dire situation. He needed to respond immediately.
Returning to the cavern, Milliped cultivated quietly on the stone platform, recovering his strength bit by bit.
A shadowy figure appeared behind him, materializing from the void. It lunged towards him. Li Qingshan was already prepared. He suddenly turned around, opened his right hand, and lowered it again. A soft, delicate figure fell into his arms.
"Master, you're back!" Ye Liubo was overjoyed.
"You've already undergone the heavenly tribulation." Li Qingshan raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah. It's all thanks to the pill master bestowed upon me! "Ye Liubo said gratefully. After ingesting the True Spirit pill, she immediately felt her body full of strength. It began to change qualitatively. Finally, he broke through to the next realm and passed the Heavenly Tribulation. This was not only the effect of the True Pill, but also because she had accumulated enough time at this bottleneck.
"Liubo is willing to use any means. To repay master's kindness. "Ye Liubo licked her lips.
"That's great. Continue to host the trade. I need more Spirit Grasses."
"I'm not talking about this. Master, what do you think this is?" Ye Liubo revealed a sorrowful expression. Then, she took out many spiritual herbs from her Hundred Treasures Pouch.
Before Li Qingshan left, he gave her many spiritual tools and spiritual talismans that he didn't need. After she passed the Heavenly Tribulation, she wanted to go back and show off. Along the way, they conducted a few transactions. He also helped Li Qingshan obtain quite a number of spiritual herbs, none of which were less than a hundred years old.
"Well done." Li Qingshan accepted the spirit grass and smiled.
Now, he had two choices. One was to abandon this place. In order to avoid Fu Qingjin's attacks, he could go deeper underground and temporarily live in Obsidian City. The other was to strengthen this place and turn it into a fortress against the Demon Slayer.
Previously, he was more inclined to the former. After all, he had limited manpower. He wasn't cultivating for the rise of the Great Demon Race, so there was no need for him to fight to the death with the Demon Slayer. But now, he had other ideas. He still had to see the results of his meeting with the Spider Queen.
"Let's go. Come with me to see Ye Mingzhu."
"Please let me go with you … Master!" Ye Liusu walked out of the darkness without a sound.
"Alright, bring Milliped."
…
"Master North Moon, long time no see. What good news do you have for me?"
In Obsidian City, Ye Mingzhu heard the news of North Moon's arrival and immediately rushed back. Her attitude was extremely respectful. After receiving the help of his weapons, the Spider Shadow Tribe had gradually turned the tables in the underground battle.
"Mistress Ye is the one who is riding the crest of success!" Li Qingshan crossed his legs and sat on a high-back chair. Ye Liubo and Ye Liusu stood beside him.
"How can I be worthy of Master North Moon calling me Mistress? You can just call me Pearl. This is all thanks to Master North Moon. This is just a small gift, not enough to show my respect." Ye Mingzhu held a brocade box and offered it with both hands.
"There is no such thing as an undeserved reward. Pearl, you must have other requests!" Li Qingshan opened the brocade box. Inside was a thousand-year Black-Blood Ginseng. It was completely black and overflowed with spiritual energy. It had a vague human shape. Unlike other spirit herbs, as one of the spirit herbs that could be consumed directly, the Black-Blood Ginseng was very valuable in the underground.
"May I ask if Master North Moon still has the pill that Liubo ingested? If he does, I'm willing to exchange it for even more and even better spiritual herbs. " Ye Mingzhu's eyes lit up. There were many night roamers in the clan who had reached a certain level but failed to break through. If she could obtain a few pills, they could instantly gain many powerful cultivators who had undergone the heavenly tribulation, forming a crushing force.
"Pearl, you sure are ambitious!" Li Qingshan fiddled around with the Black-Blood Ginseng with a smile.
"There's nothing I can do either. If you're willing to assist me, sir Northmoon, then I promise you that any request you have in this region in the future, sir Northmoon will be absolutely satisfied, including me." Ye Mingzhu smiled coquettishly.
"I do, but before that, come with me to see the Spider Queen first! Normally, I'll take what I want personally. "
Li Qingshan smiled. If he wanted to protect his territory and deal with Fu Qingjin, the night roamers would be extremely important. However, he did not plan on using a weak method like an equal exchange. He wanted to grasp this power in his hands and establish a foundation for his authority in the underground world.
It's just a few dozen subordinates. What Fu Qingjin has, I have to have too.
In Cobweb city, a bright red carpet was laid out before the throne. Helicoverpa Rosa stood behind the throne in a scarlet dress. She rested her chin on her hand and studied Li Qingshan.
"North Moon, you've finally come to see me."
"Ma 'am Spider Queen has summoned you, yet you've never come. Just what are your intentions?" Blood Shadow's pale face was filled with undisguised hostility.
"I've been thinking about ma 'am Spider Queen at all times, but I've always been on the move for ma' am Spider Queen's orders. I'm not like some people who only know how to pass their days leisurely in the territory." Li Qingshan laughed aloud and glanced at Blood Shadow.
"In other words, you've brought the Green Vine Elder's head?" Helicoverpa Rosa's expression changed. She became slightly interested.
"Unfortunately, I haven't." Li Qingshan laid out his hands.
"Are you toying with ma 'am Spider Queen? Ma 'am Spider Queen, I'll go above ground right now and bring back the Green Vine Elder's head, "Blood Shadow scolded loudly before volunteering himself. Spider Queen's expression turned slightly cold.
Li Qingshan laughed aloud. His laughter echoed through the high hall.
"What're you laughing at?"
"From today onwards, no one can bring back a single strand of his hair. That's because he's already vanished with the Green Vine mountain. "
"Vanished?" Helicoverpa Rosa was slightly doubtful.
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Blood Shadow frowned.
"I couldn't help it. I was a little heavy-handed," Li Qingshan laid out his hands.
Helicoverpa Rosa curled her finger, and an oval mirror in the corner of the hall shone brightly.
It was an arcane artifact! Li Qingshan was surprised. He saw the scene in the mirror pass through the rock and soil, arriving above ground. It reflected the Green Vine mountain that had become a huge pit.
At that moment, even Blood Shadow was speechless. Only now did he understand what Li Qingshan meant by "vanished". His first reaction was that this was impossible. Even if he used his full strength, it was impossible for the entire mountain to end up like this, unless he blew up his daemon core!
The corner of Helicoverpa Rosa's lips curled up, gradually widening. It was beautiful and cruel, a chilling laugh. It was like a thin thread, only passing through his mind. Outside, Ye Mingzhu shivered inside and lowered her head. She gained a deeper understanding of Li Qingshan's power.
At this moment, the two powerful Daemon Generals, Dragonsnail and Strong Stone, rushed over. They heard the Spider Queen's laughter and were extremely surprised.
"What's this pit?"
After bowing, Strong Stone looked at the reflection in the mirror and asked with a frown.
"The Green Vine mountain." Dragonsnail said slowly, speaking even slower than before. She also doubted her own judgement as she stared at Li Qingshan deeply.
"You did it?" Strong Stone's voice was thunderous, filled with surprise.
"You've done very well. From today onwards, I permit you to see me directly. There's no need to report." Helicoverpa Rosa's voice became much more amiable. No one would dislike a powerful and agreeable gift.
Ye Mingzhu's expression changed. This was a privilege that only Dragonsnail, Strong Stone, and Blood Shadow possessed. Did this mean another Daemon General would be added to Helicoverpa Rosa's list of three from today onwards?
"Let's fight!" Strong Stone licked his lips. Fervent battle intent rose up from his body, but he did not object. However, he didn't voice his objection. If this was really his doing, then he was indeed qualified to have such power.
Blood Shadow said, "Ma 'am Spider Queen, he's lying! North Moon, I don't believe you can do this. Are you bold enough to face me? This time, I won't let you go so easily. "
Blood Shadow believed that with his own strength, as long as he obtained Spider Queen's permission, he would definitely be able to expose North Moon's true strength. He would make Spider Queen understand that he was not worthy of standing on equal footing with them.
"Stop!" Helicoverpa Rosa called out to stop them. "Do you want to face off against a clone?"
A clone!?
Apart from Dragonsnail, everyone was surprised.
Ye Mingzhu suddenly understood why he was so fearless when he faced the entire Spider Shadow clan in the past. She became more and more glad that she had made the decision back then.
"You've been using a clone to deal with us the entire time?" Blood Shadow's expression became more and more gloomy. He thought of the last time he was hunted down. He had disappeared into thin air in an inconceivable way. It turned out that it was a clone that had played him in circles.
"Safety first. I believe Ma 'am Spider Queen can understand my worries. After listening to the whole story, perhaps even my brothers Dragonsnail and Strong Stone would be able to understand. Actually, even if Ma 'am Spider Queen used me as a scapegoat, I wouldn't find it strange. "
"Tell me, what did you do that I need to use you as a scapegoat? I'm also very curious. How did you do it? "Helicoverpa Rosa's curiosity was also piqued.
