"Why don't you come to my dwelling and take a look around?"
"Where is it?"
Li Qingshan extended his hand, and the wisps of cloud condensed into a cloud bridge, crossing the gorge and extending into the distance.
Ru Xin followed the winding cloud bridge and circled around a mountain in front of her. After walking a short distance, she arrived in front of Li Qingshan's dwelling. She saw the words "Qing Xiao's Home" and seemed to be in thought. She stroked her hair. "So close? Don't tell me you're plotting something against me! "
"Don't flatter yourself. I'm just protecting my pills and the alchemist … In other words, you were cultivating in the dwelling that day?" Fu Qingjin crossed his legs and crossed his arms, gazing at the master of the Vermillion Clothes sect before him with a smile.
The master of the Vermillion Clothes sect seemed rather uneasy. "Fellow Fu, why are you asking this? I obviously cultivated in the sect. "
Fu Qingjin took out a curved, long horn from behind him. It flickered with light. "Have you heard of the xiezhi before, fellow?"
"It's said to be a divine beast that can distinguish between loyalty and treachery. So this is …"
"That's right. This is the xiezhi's horn. I hope you can tell me the truth, as this is very important." Fu Qingjin fiddled around with the Green Ruins sword carelessly.
The master of the Vermillion Clothes sect's expression twisted. This was his secret. He definitely could not tell anyone about it. However, he glanced at the Green Ruins sword before glancing at the xiezhi's horn. After a very long internal struggle, he finally said, "Fine then. I'll tell you. I went underground that day …"
"Alright, I understand." Fu Qingjin turned around and stood up. He investigated all the mainframe cultivators in the vicinity of the Clear River prefecture. He obtained a preliminary result. Some of them were personally questioned by him, while others had clear alibis. However, there were also a few Foundation Establishment cultivators who refused to cooperate. They all belonged to the Hundred Schools of Thought. In the end, there were a total of seven suspects. The prime suspect. Li Qingshan.
The master of the Vermillion Clothes sect felt like he had been pardoned. He let out a long sigh. As it seemed, Fu Qingjin had not come to investigate that matter.
"You're going to trade with the night roamers, right?" Fu Qingjin's words made the Vermillion Clothes Sect Master's heart skip a beat. "Contact Envoy, let me explain …"
"Colluding with the Mutants and colluding with the enemy. It was a big taboo in the Demon Slayer. That's right. Three years ago. Your disciple who killed a Hawkwolf guard is still around, right? Don't let him wander around. We might need him soon. "
After saying that, Fu Qingjin turned into a green light and flew away. The Vermillion Robes Sect Master was stunned.
Fu Qingjin left the Vermillion Clothes Sect and flew into the sky. He did not go to find the suspects one by one and interrogate them. Instead, he chose a direction. He flew towards the direction of the Vast Mountains.
Those directly related to the Soaring Dragon Elder's death. The Dark Queen's cat daemon and Gu Yanying. The Sword Collection palace would not be able to investigate either one of them, but there would definitely be witnesses in the depths of the Boundless Mountains.
That was because the witnesses were definitely daemons. Due to the restrictions of the alliance, the Sword Collection palace struggled to investigate. Coupled with the Divining Elder's warning, they stopped. But now, the alliance within the Clear River prefecture had been nullified, and the Divining Elder had confirmed that the power that did not belong here no longer interfered. They could finally carry out the investigation boldly.
They would definitely be able to get to the bottom of the Soaring Dragon Elder's death by tackling these two aspects at the same time.
Arriving at the edge of the Boundless Mountains, he saw that a city had already sprung up in the huge crater left behind by the destruction of the Green Vine mountain. It was enveloped by formations, and many human cultivators moved about. It was even more bustling than the Town of Flowing Clouds in the past.
After the alliance was nullified, many human cultivators chose to enter the Boundless Mountains instead of the underground. Killing daemons was also the same, but clearly, it was more reassuring to do it on the surface. And, the sunlit Boundless Mountains were even more abundant in spiritual herbs.
Then, Fu Qingjin looked towards the east. Milliped had blown up his daemon core, leaving behind a pit there as well. On the surface, it seemed barren. On the surface, it seemed barren, but Fu Qingjin knew that a city of night roamers had sprung up beneath the rock and soil. It was rumored that the night roamers there did not attack humans. Instead, they remained neutral.
According to the information Fu Qingjin had received, the supreme rulers of the city were a pair of night roamer sisters. The master of the Vermillion Clothes sect should have been dealing with them. This was not a coincidence. Compared to risking their lives in battles to the death, obtaining the rare resources underground through trade was much more appealing.
The rise of the Green Vine mountain's Heavenly Pit market had a lot to do with their attitude. Who knew how many resources were traded through these two cities.
With Li Qingshan's "throne" as the centre, the web-like tunnels became smooth and clean under the efforts of the night roamer craftsmen. They were like underground corridors.
Her slender fingertips brushed past the smooth walls. As Ye Liusu walked through them, she felt a deep sense of pride. This was the result of her three years of hard work.
Ye Liubo followed beside her, fiddling around with a set of formation banners. "Sister, I never thought the humans would actually be willing to sell us formations like this. They seem to be members of some Demon Slayer. Isn't that our great enemy underground?"
"It's not like we're daemons, so why can't we? The black gold ore is extremely useful for forging artifacts. The Demon Slayer doesn't have the ability to build underground mines either, so they obviously have to rely on us."
As they said that, the two of them arrived in a cavern. This was a newly built village of night roamers. Every single night roamer bowed deeply when they saw Ye Liusu. This was not only out of fear towards power, but also out of respect towards Ye Liusu herself.
Outside Li Qingshan's territory, the night roamers' internal strife did not stop. Instead, it intensified, extending from underground to the surface. As they followed ma 'am Spider Queen's orders and assassinated human cultivators, they also became prey for each other.
Under Ye Liusu's rule, Li Qingshan's will was carried out here. All internal strife ceased, becoming a unique land of peace.
Many night roamers who had grown tired of fighting or were powerless to fight all gathered here, willing to become sir North Moon's servants. It was equivalent to breaking free from the control of other clans. When Li Qingshan was in secluded cultivation, his servants had already expanded to five digits.
Ye Liusu smiled. She had proven that night roamers did not have to kill one another to survive. They could also enjoy their lives in peace and happiness.
"Liubo, set up the formation!"
Ye Liubo cast down the formation, and a semicircular glow enveloped the cavern.
Ye Liusu nodded in satisfaction. Just like that, even if they were attacked by ignorant human cultivators, they would have time to provide reinforcements.
"Just when is master emerging from secluded cultivation?" Ye Liubo kicked a rock beside her foot.
"Don't worry. He'll wake up sooner or later." Ye Liusu's eyes flickered. When he woke up, she wanted to personally thank him and tell him, "You're right. I'm special."
The rock flew into the darkness, but there was no sound of collision.
Ye Liusu's expression changed. "Be careful, Liubo!"
The rock shot back with ten times the speed, but it smashed into the barrier of light created by the formation.
Strong Stone emerged from the darkness and roared out, "Where's the North Moon?!"
