A pair of scarlet eyes lit up in the darkness. They swiveled around, taking in the surrounding scenery.
The small lake that reeked of sulfur was bubbling and boiling. He was currently leaning against a large, scorching rock by the lake. The tension he had accumulated in the battle had completely relaxed, and he felt a sense of peace and comfort.
Finally, he cast his gaze on the voluptuous figure in his arms. The madness from not long ago was still vivid in his mind. He smiled. Under the suppression of his absolute strength, all her struggles were futile. In the end, she simply gave up and joined him. There was a feeling that if she could not resist, then she would enjoy it.
He gently caressed her back, tracing a beautiful arc until he reached her voluptuous buttocks. He patted them lightly.
"Pa!"
Helicoverpa Rosa also opened her eyes. There was no longer any hatred or resentment in them. There was actually an alluring laziness. She lay in his arms, submissive like never before.
The difference in strength between them had already been completely widened. Li Qingshan had already completely demonstrated his strength, proving his qualifications to be her partner. Everything that had happened in the past could not be considered hatred. It could only be considered flirting before sex.
Not only was it meaningless for the weak to hate the strong, it did not benefit their survival at all. To a fiendish demon, only being bullied by the weak was worthy of resentment. Submitting to the strong was not something shameful.
Li Qingshan pushed away the figure in his arms that could enchant any man, and followed the underground river upstream alone.
Suddenly, he turned his head. "You, and this territory of yours, all belong to me."
"Yes." Helicoverpa Rosa said very straightforwardly. With his strength, it was natural for him to possess all this, and it was even somewhat lacking.
Li Qingshan smiled slightly. The simplicity and straightforwardness of the world of fiendish demons was what he liked the most. There was no right or wrong, no morals or laws. It was just natural selection, survival of the fittest.
Only after watching his figure disappear did Helicoverpa Rosa let out a long sigh.
If only she had killed him the moment she saw him.
… …
Torrential rain poured down on Moon Court Lake. Fierce winds howled, and turbid waves rose into the air.
Looking down through the undulating surface of the lake, a faint blue light could be seen.
At the bottom of Moon Court Lake, in a translucent ball of light formed from countless hexagons, a handsome, slender, and majestic man hugged his knees as he curled up in the ball of light.
He closed his eyes and clenched his teeth, revealing four fangs. His waist-length scarlet hair fluttered in the water like a burning flame.
The brilliance of the light ball flickered, like a beating heart.
When it was bright, the waves on the lake became more violent. When it was dark, the waves calmed down.
The figure of a spirit turtle appeared, as if it was doing its best to suppress something.
A wisp of black appeared in his fluttering scarlet hair, spreading bit by bit. His appearance also changed along with it. He was no longer as handsome as before, as ordinary as a stone statue.
Boom!
A loud sound came from the bottom of the water, and a pillar of water that was over a hundred feet tall rose up. Countless raindrops flew into the sky.
However, the Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell shattered into pieces.
The surging waves calmed down unbelievably, like a huge mirror. The rain gradually lessened, becoming sparse. The rain fell into the mirror, kicking up ripples that overlapped and merged together.
Li Qingshan exhaled deeply and spread his limbs, floating on the surface of the lake quietly.
His face was just as handsome as before, and his hair was still scarlet red. He had still failed in the end.
He raised his right hand and waved it gently from left to right.
The clouds parted and the rain dispersed. The moon was as bright as day, and the sky was filled with stars.
"How beautiful!"
He sighed emotionally, forgetting all of his worries. Standing up, he looked at the specks of lantern light by the lake and listened to the voices in the lantern light. This was the life of mortals. There was a sense of tranquility and happiness to it.
Very soon, he realised that this was just an illusion. The lives of mortals were filled with pain. How could he forget his roots and indulge in some nostalgia when he had come this far from being a cowherd? That would be foolish self-deception.
And, even if this happiness was real, he would not be reluctant to part with it. What he pursued had never been so-called "happiness". He gazed at the depths of the stars and laughed aloud. Since he had no intention of turning back, then he would continue onwards!
Li Qingshan leapt up and turned into a streak of red light, flying into the horizon. Looking down, the surroundings were clear. Moon Court lake was vast, and the waters of the Clear river in the distance gushed endlessly, extending into the distance.
The Marquis of Ruyi has been finished off. A group of Golden Core cultivators have been finished off. The Ruyi commandery is leaderless now, so who can still stop me? I'll continue to refine bodies of water and strengthen the power of the Water God Seal. I refuse to believe I can't break through to the fifth layer of the spirit turtle after refining these bodies of water!
… …
"Master, have you found her? Is Li 'l Bai her? "
In the carriage that flew towards the Umbral Yin sect, Xuanyue nestled in the Dark Queen's arms and raised her head, asking curiously.
The Dark Queen's face coldened. She said with a sternness that Xuanyue had never seen before, "Shut up!"
Xuanyue shivered from fright, and her hair stood on end. Only then did the Dark Queen's expression soften. She stroked Xuanyue gently. "You can't mention this to anyone, or I'll …"
She stopped there, but Xuanyue felt a chill. Ever since she left Burial Mound mountain, her master seemed to have changed. Her resentment had vanished, replaced by a sense of dignity and determination.
When she stroked herself, her movements were still as gentle as before, but it lacked warmth. Her gaze no longer landed on herself, instead staring into the endless darkness. Her eyes blazed with wildfire.
Perhaps, this was her original appearance. Perhaps this was the bearing that a demonic cultivator should possess.
A man suddenly appeared in the carriage, ignoring the guards in the surroundings and the various formations on the carriage.
His hair was disheveled, covering most of his face. His skin was pale-white, and his eyes shone brightly. He wore black robes. The sleeves and edges of the robes were all tattered, but they seemed like black flames coiled around him. He possessed an indescribable bearing.
"Sect master!" The Dark Queen stood up and bowed, showing respect.
"You've finally returned. Looks like you've benefited quite a lot from this trip!" the master of the Umbral Yin sect said.
The Dark Queen told him everything that had happened on the Gate of Hungry Ghosts, but it differed drastically from what Gu Yanying had told her. She confessed to the fact that she had killed the Marquis of Ruyi and the others, but she still did not reveal Little Ann's identity.
"Very good!" The master of the Umbral Yin sect smiled sinisterly. "Do these little bastards really think the cultivation community is a good place for them to live freely and happily? Have you captured their souls? "
"Yes."
"We'll torture them first and extract some useful information from them before sending them into the Myriad Ghost Banner as a sacrifice. If you can undergo the heavenly tribulation, the position of sect master will definitely belong to you in the future. The Myriad Ghost Banner will end up in your hands sooner or later. Chaos is about to rise. The laws of cultivation have been twisted by the Great Xia empire for so long, so it's about time for them to reveal their true colors. "
The master of the Umbral Yin sect revealed his pearly white teeth and sneered silently.
Xuanyue shivered and shrank into the Dark Queen's arms.
The Dark Queen stroked Xuanyue in comfort and thought, Master, even if you're unwilling to hand the position of sect master to me, I won't agree to it. You have no idea what my child has become right now. Although I've lost my identity as a human, it's nothing compared to the power I've obtained.
Yue 'er, oh Yue' er, you're my flesh and blood. Even if you've been reduced to bones, you still belong to me. You'll return to my side one day! If we work together, the Green province will be ours.
… …
In the boundless Hungry Ghost realm, the death of a Corpse King could only be regarded as a tiny ripple. It could not kick up much of a fuss. It would settle down very soon.
However, the appearance of the white flames kicked up a ripple that rapidly extended into the distance.
After who knew how long, a strand of black smoke shot through the gloomy sky, flying off into the distance. A mountain range that stretched several hundred kilometers lay on the horizon like a colossal beast.
Only when they approached it did they discover that it was not a mountain range, but a true colossal beast. More accurately, it was the skeleton of a colossal beast. It was impossible to imagine just how powerful and terrifying it had been when it was still alive.
Numerous malevolent bone spikes of various sizes pointed to the sky like lone peaks. In particular, the single horn on the colossal beast's skull was unreachable.
Figures stood at the top of the lone peak, all of different sizes and appearances, but their auras were all equally powerful, even more powerful than the Corpse King's. They were currently discussing and communicating with one another.
"What's happened? Why have you summoned us in such a hurry?" Some were confused.
"What? The legendary white sacred flame has appeared?" Some were surprised and doubtful.
"That's just a legend. The colours of flames have always come in all shapes and sizes. It's impossible for them to be too powerful in the great thousand worlds, so why would they come to destroy the Hungry Ghost realm? It's just a Corpse King. If it's dead, then it's dead. Why have you summoned us over something so trivial?" There were even some who felt disdain.
"Cough, cough, shut up! Do you want me to eat all of you for making so much noise? "
A stooped figure walked up to the giant horn with the help of a walking stick. His entire body was wrapped in strips of white cloth, and he carried a few large flags on his back with evil beasts drawn on them.
His first sentence was as deep as an old man's, but his second sentence was like the colossal beast beneath his feet had come to life. It roared and roared, causing the heavens and earth to tremble.
All the ghouls quietened down and hurriedly bowed to him.
He raised his walking stick and ordered, "Open the Gate of Hungry Ghosts as soon as possible and enter that world!" His voice became deep again. "Cough, cough, only the young and weak would ignore the legends."
The ghouls did not dare to be negligent, and they all came up with a plan. "The great thousand worlds have their own rules. If we force our way in, we'll be suppressed by that world. It'll be extremely disadvantageous."
"Even if the Gate of Hungry Ghosts is open, we won't be able to enter. However, there seems to be a sect called the Black Moon Sect in that world. They have close ties with the Hungry Ghost realm, so we can make a deal with them."
"If we use the ghouls from that world, we'll be suppressed a little less."
"He" said, "Search for ghouls from that world. It doesn't matter if they're weak, I can slowly feed them. Contact the Black Moon Sect and give them what they need. I can even support them and let them become the rulers of that world. The condition is that the master of the flame must be killed. "
