Hwa Seung-zan said in a low voice, "Several Foundation Establishment cultivators have also died in battle, and the number of Qi Practitioners who have died at his hands is uncountable. With that kind of ability to control blood, once you get close to him, you'll be in great danger. Although Senior Ma's divination allowed us to roughly determine a few locations and wanted to set up an ambush separately, I didn't expect him to be so vigilant. If we don't gather our strength, I'm afraid it'll be very difficult to kill him. This has already surpassed the ability of a Foundation Establishment cultivator like me. "
Everyone was disappointed. They couldn't invest too much strength in such a net-like ambush. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to spare any manpower from other places, and they would suffer great losses, especially in a situation where they couldn't guarantee that they could kill Blood Shadow.
These daemons were very sensitive to danger, and Blood Shadow was even more cautious. If he sensed that something was wrong, he might just turn around and leave. In that case, all the ambushes and arrangements would be for naught.
The war between humans and daemons was like a contest of strength. Every bit of strength had to be used cautiously.
Take tonight, for example. Dragonsnail and Zhou Tong. They could have gone elsewhere. The enemy's Foundation Establishment cultivators and Daemon Generals would basically all die if they ran into them. In the end, they'd wasted their time on a failed ambush. The losses were hard to directly estimate.
"But …" Ma Buyi glanced at Li Qingshan at the side, and a thought occurred to him.
"But what?"
"If Little Ann succeeds in building her foundation, we'll be able to be more accurate. Qingshan, how's Little Ann's cultivation going? Will she have a chance to break through to Foundation Establishment in the near future? "
Following Ma Buyi's question, everyone's gaze fell on Li Qingshan.
"The Little Ann you speak of is that genius from your Hundred Schools of Thought. Even if she succeeds in building her foundation, she'll only be in the early stage. How can she compare to you? How can we place our hopes on a little girl? "
Cheng Kaishan, the sect leader of Horned Rhinoceros Mountain, said disapprovingly. His body was muscular and tall, and he stood there like an iron tower. His forehead was bulging like a horn. This was a sign that he had cultivated the "Horned Rhinoceros Mountain Splitting Art" to an extremely profound level. His cultivation had already reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment. When he spoke, his voice was like thunder and his aura was extremely powerful.
When they looked at Li Qingshan, there was an undisguised disdain in their eyes. Li Qingshan was just a junior, but he had only managed to establish a connection with the Han Clan, obtained a powerful Spirit Artifact, and killed a few Daemon Generals, and yet he was being held in such high regard.
A few years ago, Li Qingshan had publicly defeated the eldest senior brother of Horned Rhinoceros Mountain, causing Cheng Kaishan to lose face. After that, Li Qingshan had broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm, but that eldest senior brother was still a Qi Practitioner. It was believed that this battle had left a shadow in his heart.
Even though it wasn't to the extent where he would gnash his teeth in hatred and think of revenge at all times, no matter how he looked at Zhang Xuan, he just couldn't stand the sight of him.
The others were very disappointed as well. They thought Ma Buyi had some good idea. Even geniuses needed time to grow. Going from a mortal to a tenth layer Qi Practitioner in just a few years was already startlingly fast, but he was still just a Qi Practitioner.
"That Xiao An you're talking about doesn't seem to have shown her face at all. While our disciples are fighting a bloody battle, she's hiding in a safe place. Isn't that a little inappropriate?" A woman questioned. She was the Xia Elder of the Red Cloud Sect.
Li Qingshan frowned. Just when he was about to retort, Liu Changqing said first, "Little Ann has already been accepted as a direct disciple of the Annihilum Light Chan Master, so it's inappropriate for us to deploy her as we please. If she's injured, we won't be able to explain it to the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga. I hope elder Xia can understand."
"Hmph, it's not like we're lacking a measly Qi Practitioner."
Seeing how a dispute was about to break out, Fu Qingjin shot elder Xia a glance. Elder Xia snorted coldly and no longer dared to pursue the matter any further. If Little Ann really did die in the chaos of battle and the Annihilum Light Chan Master looked into the matter, the Rose Cloud sect would not be able to handle it.
Ma Buyi shook his head. "This is what you don't know. Divination is different from other techniques. It places great emphasis on talent. Little Ann could use yin, yang, and the five elements as soon as she began cultivating. Her talent for divination completely surpasses mine. After I taught her the Cloud Bookcase of the Seven Lots, I originally wanted to properly guide her. In the end, she basically comprehended what I spent several years to comprehend in a single afternoon. There's not much I can guide her with. "
"Even without the Annihilum Light Chan Master of the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga, I wouldn't have sent her out on missions. Her talent is definitely not limited to dealing with a few daemons. Instead, it can influence the entire situation. As long as she's given time, she might even be able to influence the entire Green province. At the very least, I can say with certainty that if she can break through to Foundation Establishment, her divination will definitely surpass mine! "
Ma Buyi's words ignited everyone's hope again. In a battle like this, an additional powerful practitioner of divination would be no less useful than a peak Foundation Establishment master like Zhou Tong.
Li Qingshan said, "Actually, Little Ann has already thought through school leader Ma's thoughts. She's been attempting to break through to Foundation Establishment recently, so she should have some confidence."
Li Qingshan's words were not false.
After Little Ann killed Strong Stone, Blood Shadow became her next target. However, Blood Shadow's whereabouts were unknown, so she could not search the entire world for him. As a result, she tried to use the Cloud Bookcase of the Seven Lots to divine Blood Shadow's whereabouts. However, her cultivation as a Qi Practitioner was still too low at the end of the day, so she wanted to break through to Foundation Establishment before she could divine him. However, she wanted to kill him. She had never considered working with these people.
Ma Buyi said, "Give this Foundation-Building Pill to her."
Liu Changqing also said, "I also have one with me. I hope it can help her, so that she can help us."
In order to slay their great enemy, Blood Devil, they were not stingy with their precious Foundation-Building Pills. In the blink of an eye, they took out four Foundation-Building Pills, one of which was Fu Qingjin's.
"I thank everyone on behalf of Little Ann. I believe she won't disappoint everyone." Li Qingshan did not stand on ceremony and accepted the Foundation-Building Pills. Little Ann will help them take care of their great enemy, Blood Shadow. This can be considered as taking some revenge!
"Qingshan, actually, the reason I called you back this time is because I have a mission for you. This mission is extremely dangerous. You can either agree or refuse." Han Anjun frowned slightly, as if he was in a difficult position.
"General's orders are always like a mountain. When you gave us missions, did you ever discuss it? Why are you hesitating today? Could it be that because Li Qingshan is your son-in-law, you've become soft-hearted?" Cheng Kaishan said with dissatisfaction.
Han Anjun only asked one question, but it made Cheng Kaishan speechless.
"Where is Han Tieyi?"
Han Tieyi had also been sent by Han Anjun to ambush Blood Shadow. The danger level of this mission was self-evident. If he was not careful, the Blood Shadow would suck his blood dry and kill him. In other words, even if he was his own son, he would not be biased, let alone a son-in-law.
"I've already killed five Daemon Generals. If I remember correctly, Sect Leader Cheng has only killed two! If General has any instructions, please speak freely. Li Qingshan is not a coward! "As soon as Han Anjun spoke, Li Qingshan knew the main topic. He glanced at Cheng Kaishan and cupped his hands.
"I want you to go underground and explore Blood Shadow's lair!"
Han Anjun knew that the ambush might fail, so he made new arrangements before that happened. It was Li Qingshan.
The way the others looked at Han Anjun immediately changed. They felt that he was not biased towards his son-in-law, but he was very dissatisfied with this son-in-law and wanted to kill Li Qingshan. This mission was more than dangerous. It was practically a death sentence.
"General Han, I, Old Cheng, was wrong. You are a man!" No matter how dissatisfied Cheng Kaishan was with Li Qingshan, he could not help but admire Han Anjun. It was easy to be ruthless to others, but difficult to be ruthless to oneself.
"General, I don't think it's appropriate. No one knows what the situation underground is like, and the Daemon Empress is holding down the fort. Qingshan is only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. Isn't this suicide? It's better to wait for Little Ann to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm first!" Hwa Seung-zan advised.
Li Qingshan frowned slightly. Little Ann had also suggested going underground to kill Blood Shadow, but he had rejected it. Blood Shadow's lair was very deep underground and very close to Cobweb City. He would not let Little Ann take this risk.
This father-in-law was simply deranged. He did not treat his son-in-law as a person. This Illusory Water Sword of Invisibility was indeed not easy to obtain!
"I cannot place all my hopes on a child. I'm not asking you to kill Blood Shadow. I just want you to use the Illusory Water Sword of Invisibility to scout the situation and prepare for the worst. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Of course, you can refuse. "
"I agree, but I'm afraid I can't do it now." Li Qingshan casually took out the Illusory Water Sword of Invisibility. Not only was the sword's spirit light dim, but it was also no longer transparent. He tried it and found that the Illusory Water Sword of Invisibility could no longer hide his figure.
