"What small favour?"
Li Qingshan could basically tell that the infant did not hold much hostility towards him. This so-called "small favour" was probably the main reason why he had suddenly appeared.
"Do you know about the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga?"
"Who in the Green province doesn't know?"
"The Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga has a cultivation method called the Chant of Deva-Nāga."
"Yeah, that's the supreme cultivation method of their sect. And then?"
"There's no then. You just have to find the Chant of Deva-Nāga for me."
"This is the small favour you were talking about?! You want me, a Daemon General, to go to the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga to steal their supreme cultivation method? "
Li Qingshan smiled. If I had that ability, would I still be wasting my breath on you? I'd do Helicoverpa Rosa a hundred times right now!
"This is much easier than going beyond the Nine Heavens. You don't have to turn me down in such a hurry. Why don't you listen to what I can help you with? "
"What?"
"The phoenix's feather."
Li Qingshan was alarmed. He had obtained the Phoenix's Scripture of Nirvāṇa a long time ago, but his cultivation had never been smooth. If he could obtain the phoenix's feather, perhaps it would be an opportunity. It might even be able to increase the power of the Phoenix Transformation.
"How do I know whether you're telling the truth or not?"
"You can verify it with me after you obtain the Chant of Deva-Nāga!" The voice receded like the tide, becoming distant.
"You're only using a feather to exchange for the supreme cultivation method of the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga. Aren't you a little too stingy? Since you want it so much, why don't you take it yourself? "
"I have my troubles." The voice became more and more distant.
"Why don't you give me the phoenix's feather first? It'll increase my cultivation a little, and I'll have a little more confidence too. "
"I await your assistance, fellow traveller!" The voice reverberated through the air before gradually vanishing.
Helicoverpa Rosa was talking to Li Qingshan afterwards. Seeing him suddenly become stunned, she pulled away from Li Qingshan in a flash and waved her hand. All the silk and web gathered towards her, layering and weaving together, turning into a tight-fitting garment that wrapped around her.
Of course, it was not because of any sense of shame. The clothes woven from the tough spider webs were the best armour.
"I still don't know who you are?"
After a while, Li Qingshan came back to his senses. When he opened his eyes, he was still a little confused.
When he saw Helicoverpa Rosa's outfit, he was stunned. He couldn't help but laugh, "What do you mean by that? Fishing net? Do you want me to help you take it off again? "
The spider silk was transparent to begin with. Although the layers were intertwined, it was as if she was wearing a layer of thick gauze, her skin was faintly discernible, and there was a large net on the outside. Her attire was even more alluring than when she was naked.
"Why don't you give it a try?" Helicoverpa Rosa said with a smile. Her demonic energy had already recovered by 10%. Don't think that it was just 10%. Now, even if Li Qingshan were to go all out, he would not hesitate to use up the remaining Power of Will. It was impossible for him to capture her again.
"There will be plenty of opportunities, my mother. Then I'll be taking my leave first. "Li Qingshan smiled confidently. He flapped his wings of wind and leapt off.
Helicoverpa Rosa clenched her fists and felt her heart ease up slightly. Li Qingshan no longer asked about the "infant's" identity, so she was happy not to answer him. Little did she know that they had already carried out a conversation.
If she knew that the "infant" referred to Li Qingshan as a "fellow traveler" in the end, she would definitely be so surprised that her jaw would drop. Afterwards, she would reconsider her attitude towards Li Qingshan.
… …
"Ye Lai Xiang, you're bold enough to attack me, but I'm bold enough not to fight back. Once master returns, he'll naturally slaughter you all and avenge me. "
In Cobweb city, under the watchful gazes of the night roamers, Ye Liubo was fearless, mocking the matriarch of the Bat Shadow clan loudly.
"Do you really believe he can return? Hehe! "Ye Lai Xiang let out a nervous laugh.
The six clans had never been on good terms, and the grievances between the Bat Shadow clan and the Spider Shadow clan ran extremely deep. Ever since Li Qingshan ascended to the position of matriarch, the one that benefited the most was the Spider Shadow clan, while the status of the Bat Shadow clan rapidly declined. Their grievances were suppressed in their hearts, constantly fermenting.
Ye Liubo said, "Hmph, even if the entire Bat Shadow clan dies, he won't die!"
Ye Lai Xiang fiddled around with a snake-shaped dagger in her hand and sneered. "Alright, then stop hiding. Let's see whether he can avenge you or not."
"Does the Bat Shadow clan want to declare war?" Ye Liusu stood out from the crowd.
"So what if we do? You're just a junior, yet you're bold enough to point fingers at me? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You just want to unite the night roamers and become the matriarch yourself. Why don't you take a look at yourself first? Without the support of the North Moon, you're nothing! "Ye Lai Xiang said sternly.
Over the past few years, Ye Liusu had constantly gathered the night roamers who were unwilling to fight among themselves from underground, constantly shaking up the foundations of a few clans. She had offended a few clans even more deeply than Ye Liubo.
With Ye Lai Xiang taking the lead, the gazes of the other matriarchs became unfathomable.
Ye Liusu frowned slightly. She could clearly sense icy-cold killing intent locking onto her from somewhere. The atmosphere immediately sank to rock bottom, as if they had returned to the past, when the night roamers were at war with one another.
Ye Mingzhu stood forward and said, "I'd advise you to calm down! Liusu is working hard for our entire race. You've all seen the results of the past few years, haven't you? If we work together and let go of our differences, it'll benefit all of us. "
"Benefit? Ye Mingzhu, you want your daughter to ride roughshod over us, don't you? Then you better think it through. Ye Liusu, Ye Liubo, has betrayed ma 'am Spider Queen and attached herself to the rebellious North Moon. Her crimes cannot be forgiven. If we work together and destroy them now, it'll be a great service. If you want to protect them, we'll destroy your entire Spider Shadow clan as well! "
As she said that, Ye Lai Xiang constantly exchanged glances with the other matriarchs and communicated with them. Finally, they reached a temporary agreement. It was obviously not for the sake of serving the Spider Queen, but for the tremendous resources in Ye Liusu's hands.
Silently, a few orders were passed down. The powerful night roamers of the five clans surrounded Ye Liusu, Ye Liubo, and so on.
Ye Mingzhu considered it before waving her hand too. The elders and powerful members of the Spider Shadow clan also became a part of the encirclement, but they were the furthest away, only on the outskirts.
The personal guards under Ye Liusu's lead formed a circle with their backs against each other. They looked around cautiously, but they were rather hesitant, as they came from clans in the first place.
"Apart from Ye Liusu and Ye Liubo, the others have only been deceived. It's not too late for you to return to your clans, or you'll suffer the same fate as these two traitors!"
Ye Lai Xiang became more complacent. She believed that as long as she said the word, her daughter would return to her side again. The other matriarchs called out too, summoning the princesses they had sent to serve as spies.
They all thought, If we lose this power, the organisation that Ye Liusu has built up after so much effort will immediately collapse. It's funny how she actually thinks she's in control.
However, to everyone's surprise, while many of them wavered and hesitated, no one stepped forward immediately and returned to their clans.
Unknowingly, Ye Liusu had used her ideals and true feelings to influence everyone around her.
The corner of Ye Liusu's lips curled slightly, as if she was rather relieved. She looked back and nodded, saying sincerely, "Thank you!"
"The situation is dire right now. Master's fate is uncertain, but I believe he'll definitely return. However, I don't want to force others to take the risk with me. No matter who wants to return to their clans, I won't stop them. If you can survive because of this, it won't be a waste for us sisters. "
A tall female night roamer went up and wrapped her arm around Ye Liusu's shoulder. She smiled. "Honestly speaking, although I call North Moon master, he's never given me pleasure in bed, so I don't trust him either. However, I trust you, Ye Liusu!"
Another night roamer said, "If master doesn't return, we'll establish another clan. Liusu, you can be the matriarch!"
"We obey North Moon because we obey ma 'am Spider Queen's orders. What does his rebelliousness have to do with us? I refuse to believe ma' am Spider Queen can't tell right from wrong."
"You …" Ye Liusu's heart warmed up. She was touched for some reason, leaving her speechless.
Ye Laixiang said furiously, "Ye Liusu, no matter how glib your tongue is, you won't be able to escape death today!"
"If you want her life, you'll have to kill me first!"
An icy-cold voice rang out. The cold-faced Ye Liuxing stood out with the others, entering the encirclement. She gazed at Ye Liusu deeply as indescribable emotions filled her eyes. There was a hint of gentleness in her voice too. "I'll leave the Spider Shadow clan and join you."
Ye Liubo saw all of this and felt happy for Ye Liusu from the bottom of her heart. She thought, Sister, this is where your charm lies. Master was right. You're special!
Not only did she fail to make Ye Liusu's organisation collapse under her persuasion, but it even boosted her momentum instead. The matriarchs were all stunned. Were they really night roamers? Where did their cold and suspicious temperament go?
After the surprise, they felt an even greater threat. They secretly made up their minds. No, this Ye Liusu has to be eliminated, or she might actually be able to unite the clan!
"Liuxing, I don't think there's any need for you to leave the Spider Shadow clan, as from now onwards, Ye Liusu will be the new matriarch of the Spider Shadow clan!"
Ye Mingzhu smiled, but she felt rather reluctant inside. This was an opportunity to strengthen the Spider Shadow clan. If the two organisations merged, the Spider Shadow clan would surpass the other five clans. There might even be a chance for them to unite the clan.
They had gone from fighting one against six to fighting two against five. It seemed like there was still a difference, but in the past few years, both Ye Liusu and the Spider Shadow clan had built up a very deep foundation with Li Qingshan's favour. They had countless talismans and puppets. If they actually fought, they might not necessarily lose.
Ye Liusu said in surprise and joy, "Yes, mother!"
"Liusu, this is all I can help you with!" Ye Mingzhu nodded slightly and smiled bitterly inside. She had no idea whether it was a blessing or a curse to have a daughter who stood out from the masses.
However, from a different perspective, if Ye Liusu was as heartless as the other night roamers, Ye Mingzhu would never have passed the authority of matriarch to her even if she was her own daughter.
At this moment, the Spider Shadow clan was on the outside, while Ye Liusu and the others were on the inside, forming a pincer attack instead.
The two sides faced off. A great battle was on the verge of breaking out.
"Ye Mingzhu, are you determined to betray ma 'am Spider Queen and support the rebel North Moon?" Ye Lai Xiang said coldly.
"The rebel North Moon? Are you talking about me? "
Everyone looked back and saw a figure with drifting, scarlet hair standing in front of the city gates. His scarlet eyes shone like fire as he gazed over coldly.
