Little Ann was already prepared. He pointed at his hundred treasures pouch, and the corpse of a night roamer flew out, merging with the Samādhi Flames of White Bone. It was the Mistress of the Bat Clan, Ye Lai Xiang, who had been killed by Li Qingshan with a single move.
Her expression still retained the terror from when she was killed. She was roasted by the Samādhi Flames of White Bone. Very quickly, she twisted and melted into it. The flames burned even more fiercely, leaving behind only a set of white bones, which melted into a drop of bone fluid that dripped onto the Blood Sea Banner.
More corpses followed closely behind, flying into the Samādhi Flames of White Bone one by one.
Just like that, countless corpses were destroyed, and a long time had passed.
A thick, curved bone with distinct joints pierced through the Blood Sea Banner. It was like a backbone, and then there were ten-odd thinner white bones that were like ribs that propped up the Blood Sea Banner. And at the top of the spine, there was a hideous skull, using its mouth full of sharp teeth to hold onto the Blood Sea Banner.
At first glance, it looked like the skeleton of half a human. It spread its arms and separated its ribs, completely merging with the Blood Sea Banner. Meanwhile, its spine continued to extend downwards until it reached Little Ann's hand.
The flagpole was done, but something was still missing.
Little Ann's right pinkie was suddenly severed. His flesh, blood, and bone all merged into the Blood Sea Banner. The flagpole was immediately dyed with a layer of crystal, and the blood-red color of the flag became even brighter.
The blazing Samādhi White Bone Flame surged wildly into the skull at the top of the Blood Sea Banner. Two flames suddenly lit up in its eye sockets.
Little Ann waved his hand again and spat out a smoke-like shadow. It was the wailing soul of Blood Shadow. As soon as it sank into the surging sea of blood, it immediately melted away.
The Blood Sea Banner was formed!
Little Ann put away the Blood Sea Banner. Stepping out of the cave, he took out the Glazed Mirror of Invisibility and hid himself. Then, he tore through the air in the direction of Moon Court Lake.
Night descended on Moon Court Lake. The fishermen by the lakeside all pulled in their nets and returned to their boats.
Their lives. Instead, he discovered that ever since the Moon Court Lake God descended, the waves on the surface of the lake had lessened significantly.
The fish, prawns, and water monsters that were wreaking havoc had all vanished as well. Their respect for this Moon Court Lake God grew. There were already many fishermen worshipping the Lake God on their boats.
Meanwhile, the Moon Court Water Manor at the center of the lake seemed to have woken up from its slumber.
The night roamers left their residences in twos and threes. Men and women swim together. They talked and laughed in a relaxed manner. From time to time, he would look up at the stars above his head with an intoxicated expression on his face.
The island was extremely vast, so accommodating several tens of thousands of night roamers was no problem at all. After Ye Liusu completed her great cause of unification, she constantly migrated.
The shadow of death that had once enveloped the entire race of night roamers no longer existed. Ye Liusu established law and order here, so they no longer had to cling to weapons. They had to guard against assassinations and sneak attacks at any time.
"Compared to where I grew up, this place is like a dream!"
In an exquisite pavilion built by the side of a mountain. Two figures stood there. Ye Liubo gazed at a group of children playing around. She said to Ye Liusu beside her, "Sister, your wish has finally come true."
The corner of Ye Liusu's lips curled slightly, but it was immediately replaced by worry. She looked back at the centre of the island. There was a small lake there, connected to Moon Court lake underground.
The surroundings of the small lake were forbidden grounds that no night roamers could set foot in. Even she would not disturb them unless there was something urgent, as that was where Li Qingshan cultivated.
"Are you worried about master? Don't worry, master definitely won't lose! "Ye Liubo said with complete confidence.
"Oh you!" Ye Liusu sighed with a smile and rubbed Ye Liubo's head. "What a good pet of his."
Ye Liubo refused to budge. "Even you say that, sister!"
"I'm envious of you!" Ye Liusu sighed inside. She had entrusted everything to him without holding anything back, trusting him wholeheartedly and without any worries. However, she had even more needs, just like her dreams, which were as difficult to fulfil as them.
At the end of the day, it was still because of the difference in their backgrounds. Ye Liusu came from a noble and wealthy background and possessed extremely great talent, which was why she had dreams that regular night roamers did not. That was why she could come into contact with human books, which was why she developed thoughts of love similar to human women.
As for Ye Liubo, she had come from Blacklustre city, which was equivalent to a slum among humans. Her thoughts were much simpler and more practical. She was already satisfied with this favour.
Ye Liusu's face suddenly stiffened. She sensed that someone had touched the formation. Raising her head, she saw a white figure pass through the formation and fly over. It flew past the pavilion and landed in the small lake in the centre of the island.
It was so fast that even Ye Liusu failed to make out what it was, and it did not give off any aura at all. She could not even tell whether it was a human or a daemon.
However, most of the night roamers on the island were completely unaware of this.
The control over the core of the formation was obviously in Li Qingshan's hands, while Ye Liusu and Ye Liubo had been given a portion of the control too. It was impossible for other people or daemons to pass through the formation so easily.
"In other words, he was the one who let the white figure in!"
Ye Liusu leapt down the stairs. Her graceful and agile figure was like a carp leaping backwards, merging with the darkness and creating black ripples.
Ye Liubo called out, "Sister, didn't master say to not let anyone disturb him?"
Ye Liusu did not seem to hear her. She was unable to control her desire to understand everything about him.
"I thought you couldn't make it in time!"
Li Qingshan sat in the centre of the lake with his legs crossed. The Watermirror disc was placed on his knees. Suddenly, he sensed the abnormality of the formation and beamed with joy. In the blink of an eye, Little Ann arrived in front of him. She had turned back into white bones, but she could already freely switch between great beauty and white bones now, so she did not have to go through the trouble of refining her body again.
Little Ann said nothing. She only went up and snuggled into his arms, waving the tiny Blood Sea Banner around like she was showing off.
How could she not come? Last time, when he faced death, she was unable to be by his side, which filled her with regret. Wasn't the reason why she persisted in cultivation the entire time so that she could accompany him and assist him in ascending to the Nine Heavens? Otherwise, what was the point of living like this?
The moment he saw Little Ann, the warning from the spirit turtle's daemon core in Li Qingshan's body immediately weakened. More importantly, his heart settled down.
From the very beginning until now, just how many life-threatening situations had they gone through together? With her by his side, he was confident that he could escape no matter what kind of danger he encountered.
As a result, when Ye Liusu arrived by the lake, she saw the flawlessly handsome North Moon holding a thin, crystalline skeleton in his arms. His eyes were at ease and serenity that she had never seen before. His scarlet eyes were filled with indescribable warmth. It was a gaze that was pure, without the slightest stray thought.
Under the reflection of the calm water, it formed a rather strange sight, giving off an invisible, strange aura.
Ye Liusu could not help but feel that there was nothing in this world that was more valuable than the skeleton in his arms. There was no one who could come between them either.
"Liusu, what are you doing there?"
Li Qingshan raised his head and looked at a thicket by the lake.
"Ah, nothing. I was worried about you, master, so I came to take a look."
Ye Liusu walked out of the darkness and saw the skeleton in his arms turn its head. Its eye sockets burned with a pale white, almost transparent flame as it glanced at her.
Her heart trembled and she immediately lowered her head. She was not a little girl who had never seen the world. She had seen all kinds of cruel and terrifying scenes in the underground world. But the moment she met the skeleton's eyes, she felt an indescribable terror attack her heart. But at the same time, there was a mysterious feeling of holiness.
"Croak, croak, vice leader!" The ice frog Little Blue jumped out of the water.
Vice leader? Ye Liusu suddenly remembered. Wasn't this the little skeleton that was with him when he first came to the underground world? It was strange that she did not think of it immediately.
"It's time!"
Li Qingshan said as he stood up and walked across the calm lake. Little Ann sat on his left shoulder just like before, with his right arm around his head. This was a somewhat strange combination, but when they walked, there was a strange sense of coordination, as if they were born this way.
"Look after the house and wait for my return."
Li Qingshan smiled slightly. Having said this, the wings of wind behind him suddenly unfurled, and he disappeared on the spot in an instant.
A moment later, a gust of wind blew, blowing Ye Liusu's long hair. When she looked back, he was already gone.
"Sister, what was that?" Ye Liubo hurried over and also saw Little Ann on Li Qingshan's shoulder.
"I don't know either. You should ask who it was. I only know that it is as important to him as he is to you. "Ye Liusu shook her head lightly, her expression complicated.
Li Qingshan did not take off into the sky. Instead, like a zigzagging bolt of lightning, he made a few turns and made his way around the buildings and people in his way. Only then did he make his way towards the hidden river in Moon Court lake.
His control over the wings of wind had become even greater. One reason was because he was gradually familiarizing himself with the power of the fourth layer of the tiger demon, but more importantly, his comprehension of the Spirit Turtle Transformation had deepened. His thoughts were intricate, so he could use all of his innate abilities with greater precision.
The wings of wind that could instantly accelerate would become even more practical. It would also be one of his decisive trump cards for achieving victory in this battle, or perhaps his greatest ability for escaping.
Passing through the deep, underground river, he followed the waterway he had come to Cobweb city for the first time. He walked all the way to the end, where the river turned into a waterfall and dispersed.
With a single glance, Li Qingshan saw Helicoverpa Rosa. She currently stood at the very top of Cobweb city, on a steepled tower.
Helicoverpa Rosa was no longer wearing her red dress that resembled an evening gown. Instead, she wore a set of black clothes that seemed to be tight-fitting. It wrapped around her body completely, yet it also clearly outlined every single enchanting curve. It was flawless.
Li Qingshan admired her figure once more. Is this the trump card she spent over half a year preparing for me? To weave a sexy, tight-fitting dress?
No, that's definitely not all. No matter how tough the clothes were, it was impossible for them to make the spirit turtle feel so threatened.
There must be something else? (To be continued …)
