Many years ago, he had also searched for someone, and he had also received great rewards.
The battle of heavenly secrets and the entanglement of gratitude and grievances seemed like it had happened yesterday, vivid in his mind.
The person he was searching for was like a kite in the sea of clouds. All of the heavenly secrets had been obscured.
He had finally grasped a trace after so much difficulty, and a fierce gust of wind blew over.
The kite string snapped, and it soared into the sky, vanishing without a trace. Originally, he thought it had fallen somewhere a long time ago, becoming an unforgettable regret.
Who would have thought that the faintly discernible thread would appear before his eyes again today?
If it were not for the entanglement of such deep ties of fate, he basically would have overlooked it. It was exactly because of such deep ties of fate that he firmly believed he had not seen wrong.
This was the will of the heavens!
"Fellow Feng, fellow Feng!"
The scholar in white called out, and Feng Buquan returned to his senses. He wiped away the tears on his face, and under the surprised gazes of the four grandmasters, he discovered that his bent back had straightened out before he knew it.
"Fellow, you're so overjoyed. Have you found the existence of the wretched daemon?" Wen Zhengming asked in confusion. Even if that was the case, he would not be so overjoyed as to burst into tears.
"The wretched daemon? Oh right, no. All of the heavenly secrets have been obscured. I can't divine where he is. "
Feng Buquan secretly felt some regret. Just Now, he should not have lost his composure like this, even calling out the Dark Queen. If someone with ulterior motives heard about it, the consequences would be unthinkable.
"I've let down the marquis's great trust, so I have nothing to say. Please apologise for me, grandmasters!" He clasped his hands. Although he was still ugly, his tall figure vaguely possessed some of the ease of the past.
Feng Buquan drifted away. The four grandmasters looked at one another. For a moment, they had no idea just what had happened to Feng Buquan.
However, they could not just return like this and ask the Marquis of Ruyi for assistance. That would make them seem far too useless. As a result, they discussed.
"The night roamers must have fled underground. Why don't we pursue them underground and force the wretched daemon to show himself?"
"Wretched daemons are all heartless and heartless. Why would they risk their lives for a few night roamers? It probably won't be that simple. "
The white-robed scholar said, "That's fine. There are still many fiendish demons underground! That Spider Demon Lolth had given the order to massacre the entire city. She was a great scourge of evil. Even if they couldn't kill the Moon Devil, they could wipe out all the evildoers and kill Lolth. It can be considered as an explanation to the county governor! "
…
Accompanied by Little Ann, Li Qingshan arrived at the magma lake again. The fire spirits here were the fiercest. It had a very powerful suppressive effect on the spirit turtle's daemon core, making it the most suitable for breaking through to the Phoenix's Scripture of Nirvāṇa.
The thick smell of sulfur and the surging golden lava were the eternal scenery of this place, and the violent magnetic turbulence was even more frightening.
Li Qingshan wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't interacted with him a few times. The Golden Cicada could actually stay in such a place.
The Golden Cicada Spirit King really lived up to his reputation!
Li Qingshan waited for a moment. There was no voice in his mind. He nodded at Little Ann. Then, he stepped into the magma. He did not use his daemon qi to protect himself. In a place like this, even mobilising daemon qi was difficult.
The feeling of the magma burning his skin was slightly painful, but it was also extremely refreshing.
It reminded him of the feeling of a hot bath in the past. And, there was a power that resonated with his bloodline. This was something he had not felt the last time he came here.
Li Qingshan just spread his arms and laid flat on the surface of the lake. His scarlet hair spread out. The flames were like snakes, coiling up and licking his body.
Very soon, they swallowed and wrapped around him.
They formed a huge, fire-red cocoon of flames.
The day he broke out of the cocoon would be the day he spread his wings.
… …
The stone lions lay facing each other, and the door was wide open. A few gusts of cold wind rustled past.
A person arrived before the steps and picked up a plaque from below. He rubbed it gently, and dust was kicked into the air. The words' Proud Sword manor 'appeared.
Yu Shukuang glanced inside and hesitated. In the end, he did not step in.
That was because there were many caves that led underground in the surroundings of Salt Mountain city. Daemons had wreaked havoc, so they had suffered extremely heavy losses.
The once prosperous Proud Sword manor had already been reduced to ruins. The entire Salt Mountain city had been reduced to a ghost city. No one lived here.
Yu Shukuang had returned to visit the grave. He wanted to tell his wife that Zijian had already found a new home. She had gone to the Sword Collection palace to cultivate.
However, when he arrived outside Salt Mountain city, he was taken aback. He flew over to the grave.
The gravestone still stood firmly, but a great hole had been dug into the grave behind it. The coffin inside had vanished too.
The coffin had already been buried for over a decade, so it would not give off any presence of flesh or blood that would attract the attention of wild beasts and daemons. And, from the traces of digging, it was clearly the work of a human.
If it were grave robbers, they would not have taken the coffin away with them. Who would spend so much effort to dig out a set of bones?
Yu Shukuang's face was utterly sunken. Suddenly, he thought of someone. "Ma Chaoqun!"
… …
In the cave, a Daemon General shaped like a lynx lunged over violently. A foul smell filled the air as it moved with startling speed.
With a flash of white light, the Daemon General was beheaded. Wen Zhengming casually took out a daemon core and stowed it away in his hundred treasures pouch.
Although the four grandmasters could not find Li Qingshan, it was far too easy for them to find other daemons.
Under the detection of their soul sense, even the night roamers skilled in concealing their presences and carrying out assassinations were as conspicuous as fireflies in the darkness.
Immediately, a storm of blood erupted underground. Wherever they passed by, only death awaited them, whether they were night roamers or daemons. They could not even withstand a single strike.
After all, daemons like Li Qingshan who could fight those at higher cultivation realms were far too rare.
"Sister, our scouts have been killed!"
Ye Liubo reported to Ye Liusu in a hurry. Under Li Qingshan's orders, all the night roamers had retreated underground. They did not know who the four grandmasters were, but they did know their opponents were not something they could fend off.
"Continue moving underground!" Ye Liusu passed down a decisive order and took the lead, leading the night roamers and continuing their migration.
The scholar in white suddenly stopped and closed his eyes.
Wen Zhengming asked, "Senior brother Tang, what's wrong?"
The scholar in white opened his eyes. "There's a large group of night roamers below us. Those who have not undergone the second heavenly tribulation ten kilometers away are currently moving downwards. There's also a tremendous daemon qi parallel to us, twenty-five kilometers away. It should be the spider daemon. "
"Which one do we go after?"
The scholar in white said, "Let's go. We need to capture their leader first! We'll kill the wretched daemon first, and then we'll deal with the night roamers. "
… …
Ye Liubo said, "They don't seem to be chasing us!"
Several tens of thousands of night roamers. They advanced through the caves in a hurry. The winding group meandered like a snake, making no sound at all.
"We can't be careless. Continue downwards. With the interference of the underground magnetic field, it won't be easy for them to find us. Afterwards, we'll disperse! "
"Disperse? Won't we be defeated one by one? "
"The opponent this time can no longer be defeated through numbers. Otherwise, master wouldn't have told us to retreat beforehand. "
Ye Liubo said in worry, "I wonder how master is?"
"With what master is capable of, protecting himself should be no problem. Let's go! "
Whenever they came across a fork in the road, they would split up. As a result, they split up, and the group dispersed very quickly. In the end, only Ye Liusu and Ye Liubo remained. The surrounding temperature had already become scorching, and the rocks reddened slightly.
A droplet of sweat landed on the ground, immediately kicking up a cloud of white mist. Ye Liubo was rather irritated. She cut through the stalagmite in front of her with a single slash.
"Damn it. If only I was a little stronger! "
"Stop talking."
Ye Liusu's mood was horrible too, but she was composed. She just did not show it. As soon as they established a territory above ground, they were forced back underground, and even deeper. The night roamers had only been united not long ago, and now she had to personally disperse them.
"But master will definitely deal with them!" Ye Liubo said confidently.
"Mm."
Ye Liusu was not optimistic about this. The Green province was the world of humans. Even Daemon Commanders could not do as they pleased. However, since she had chosen to rely on him, she could only trust him.
A rumble rang out from above. The cavern shook violently, sending soil and rocks flying.
"What's going on?"
"Those people probably encountered the Spider Queen. Let's continue!"
… …
Li Qingshan curled up like a baby, lying in the huge cocoon of fire, waiting for a new life.
The surging fire spirits condensed into a scarlet phoenix egg within his body. There were exquisite golden runes that flickered between light and dark, as if it was a living creature that was breathing.
The rhythm of Li Qingshan's heartbeat and breathing gradually maintained the same rhythm. They were closely connected.
A thought suddenly occurred to him, Why does it feel like I'm pregnant with a child?
However, Li Qingshan discovered very soon that hatching the egg was not a simple matter. Even ten months of pregnancy was probably nowhere near enough. He frowned slightly. Although it was only the first layer of the Phoenix's Scripture of Nirvāṇa, the difficulty of cultivating it was far greater than he had imagined.
The phoenix egg seemed to be insatiable, constantly absorbing the fire spiritual qi. Based on its current progress, spending a year or so would be considered short.
This was not a long time for a daemon, but what he lacked the most right now was time.
Suddenly, an extremely familiar voice rang out in his head, I'll lend you a hand. Catch!
In the depths of the magma, Golden Cicada watched this happen. It waved its young hand gently, and a huge wave immediately surged on the lake of magma. Flames several meters tall turned into fire snakes, flying towards Li Qingshan.
"Alright, many thanks!"
Li Qingshan was overjoyed. After saying these three words, he no longer had the time to speak. He circulated the Phoenix's Scripture of Nirvāṇa with all his might, devouring and converting the fire snakes into the phoenix egg.
The phoenix egg happily devoured the flames, turning from scarlet to golden. The runes on its surface also shone brighter and brighter.
Li Qingshan didn't dare to be careless. Any one of these fire snakes was enough to incinerate an entire city! If he lost control of any one of them, it would explode inside his body and he would be gravely injured.
The number of fire snakes grew denser and denser. They were violent and violent, but they didn't break through Li Qingshan's limits. He had truly witnessed the methods of this generation's Daemon King.
After an unknown period of time, the lake of magma regained its calm. No more fire snakes flew out. The phoenix egg shone with a dazzling light, like a miniature sun that had reached its pinnacle.
Under the scorching flames, Li Qingshan felt as if he were about to melt. Suddenly, he felt an itch on his back. He raised his shoulders, and two bones grew out of his back. They quickly came into contact with a barrier and couldn't stretch out.
He couldn't help but twist his body and swing his arm, punching the giant cocoon of fire around him.
With a crack, a crack appeared on the phoenix egg. Welcome. Your support is my greatest motivation. m
