Hwa Seung-zan could not help but look at Li Qingshan. Li Qingshan lowered his head and rubbed his nose. He sighed inside. So she's secretly in love! How troublesome! However, he could not help but curl his lips into a mysterious smile. Of course, he knew that Begonia had been forced into a dead end, turning to any doctor in a desperate situation. However, there was no harm in secretly feeling pleased about it.
"Do you think I've grown up scared?" E Feng recovered his composure very soon. Surely he could not flee in defeat after hearing a single name. If that happened, there would be no need for North Moon to do anything. E Dan would be able to slaughter him. Thinking about it, even if Begonia was telling the truth, distant water could not put out a nearby fire. As long as he handed her over to E Dan, what happened next would no longer be under his control.
Begonia used this opportunity to break free from granny You's "chicken claws" and took out a jade pendant, raising it high into the air. As long as I crush this jade pendant, he'll rush over and save me in a moment!
It was a regular, suet jade pendant, but in that moment, it was like a magnet, firmly drawing over everyone's gazes.
E Feng shivered inside. The jade pendant flickered with light. It was indeed a communication pendant, but he had no idea whether it was for North Moon or not. All he could do was carefully study Begonia's expression.
However, women were born with natural abilities when it came to acting, and Begonia was one of the best among them. Having practised the arts of charm for several decades, her expression and bearing were flawless. E Feng could not help but become rather hesitant.
Seeing how she had managed to stun the evil wind with this move, Qiu Haitang eased up slightly inside. She had to find a way to escape as soon as possible. She could no longer stay in the Ruyi commandery, but how to escape was a problem.
E Feng and the others were like a few ravenous wolves. How could they allow their prey to escape?
Begonia said to Li Qingshan through soul sense, "If I may be so bold as to make a final request."
"Feel free to tell me."
"I'll find a way to escape later. If the situation becomes disadvantageous, please block it for me. If it doesn't work, I'll cut my throat on the spot. I'll never be humiliated. If I can escape alive, I will definitely fulfill your wish in the future. Don't worry, I won't let Qiongzhi know. "
Begonia was also a little disheartened at this moment. She felt that although Li Qingshan was not the one she loved in her heart, he was still a good person. At the very least, he was millions of times stronger than E Dan. For him to risk his life to save her time and again, other than this body, there was nothing else he could repay.
"Since you are in love with someone else, why would I take advantage of your perilous situation? I just need to drag it out until the North Moon arrives," Li Qingshan said resolutely. But in his heart he thought, "Just pick one of these two. I don't mind. "
Begonia couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart. Do you really believe that I have any connection with the North Moon? Apart from that brief encounter a few years ago, they had only seen each other from afar.
E Feng's body suddenly trembled. With a face full of disbelief, he pointed at Li Qingshan behind Begonia and exclaimed, "North Moon!"
Everyone's gaze followed the direction that E Feng was pointing at and looked towards Li Qingshan. Li Qingshan shuddered. How did this guy see through my identity!?
Begonia's mind was slightly distracted. A strong gust of wind came, and the evil wind went straight for the jade pendant in her hand. Begonia hesitated. If she really crushed the jade pendant, wouldn't her lie be exposed? With this hesitation, the jade pendant fell into E Feng's hands.
Everyone knew that E Feng was deliberately deceiving Begonia. She secretly scolded him for being shameless, but her heart that had been raised to her throat also returned to her stomach. Apart from Hwa Seung-zan, no one knew that E Feng had pointed casually. He was actually able to see through the heavenly secrets.
E Feng tossed the jade pendant in his hand and said smugly, "It turns out that I was wrong. However, beasts and evildoers are the same kind. Do you really think that I will believe that this thing can summon North Moon? Do you think that I have not investigated you before? You'd better go back with us obediently! Even if North Moon comes. Facing my master, you can only flee in defeat! "
Although he looked like a hooligan, he was actually very meticulous and cautious. But in reality, he was meticulous and cautious. Otherwise, he wouldn't have survived until now.
Begonia sneered and said, "Crush it if you have the guts!"
"Do you think I don't dare?"
"I think you just don't dare!"
"Humph, do you think I'm a fool? Cut the crap and come here! "E Feng suddenly launched an attack. He waved a large silver net and covered Begonia's head.
With Begonia's cultivation, facing E Feng was like a Qi Practitioner facing a Foundation Establishment cultivator. There was no room for resistance at all. She could only use enchantment to confuse E Feng's mind.
E Feng's gaze wavered slightly. He found the woman before him to be delicate and pitiful. He actually could not bring himself to lay his hands on her. However, his willpower was far greater than regular Foundation Establishment cultivators. He bit the tip of his tongue and immediately returned to his senses. A waterspout whistled over. Li Qingshan had finally taken action.
E Feng looked down on him. Two cultivators in black leapt out from behind him and struck the waterspout viciously. Although their cultivations were not as great as E Feng's, they were still Foundation Establishment cultivators. However, they shuddered the moment they touched the waterspout. They felt an irrepressible, tremendous power, and it was endless, stacking on top of one another.
They could not help but stagger backwards, creating a deep pit with each step. In the blink of an eye, they had retreated to E Feng. They were all shocked. They did not feel anything when he clashed with the fire devourer, but they never thought he could actually unleash the violent side of gentle water to such a degree.
Seeing how their companions could not hold on anymore, two more cultivators in black took action, pressing their hands against their backs again. Their teamwork was flawless. They faced Li Qingshan alone with the strength of the four of them.
Li Qingshan suddenly remembered how Ru Xin had destroyed his waterspout. He raised his arms, and the waterspout spun rapidly. However, he used the exact opposite method, making it explode with its greatest power.
Boom!
The four cultivators in black staggered backwards. Li Qingshan cut right to the chase, throwing a punch at E Feng.
He still managed to gain the upper hand despite fighting five alone. This was no longer just because of his strength and abilities, but also because of his invincible, fierce bearing.
Everyone could not help but cheer. The Hawkwolf guards cheered the loudest.
"You little bastard!"
E Feng cursed furiously as he drew his blade to receive him. Li Qingshan's bearing suddenly withdrew, and all of the light gathered towards his right hand, turning into an extremely resplendent droplet of water. With a flick of his finger, the droplet of water shot over, piercing through E Feng's protective light and landing on the jade tablet with great precision. The jade tablet immediately shattered.
Ocean Wielding? The Waterdrop stance!
He condensed the boundless power of the ocean into a droplet of water, unleashing startling power. Li Qingshan had studied this move a long time ago, but he had always been unable to grasp its main points. Today, he had a flash of inspiration and improvised it on the spot. Originally, there should have been an eighty to ninety percent chance of failure, but he just happened to succeed.
Li Qingshan laughed. "Since you're afraid, I'll help you out!"
E Feng was alarmed, becoming even more infuriated. The blade in his hand pulsed with a blade aura that was several meters long as he swung it towards Li Qingshan. Li Qingshan swung his hands about wildly, and the space before him immediately became filled with streaks of blue light that flowed like turbulence.
With each streak, the blade aura would be drawn over. E Feng even felt like he was losing control of the blade in his hand. In the end, he swung it towards the ground beside Li Qingshan, creating a crack that was over thirty meters long. If it were not for the fact that the Parlour of Clouds and Rain had been constructed from special materials by the craftsmen of mohism, it definitely would have been split in half.
Ocean Wielding? The Horizontal Flow stance!
The ocean flowed and the waves surged. The more vicious and powerful the enemy's attacks were, the more difficult it would be for him to control it. Trapped in the turbulence, he could not help but lose sight of his original target.
By the time the four cultivators in black arrived together, Li Qingshan had already pulled back. As he advanced and retreated, he did not hesitate at all. He easily shattered E Feng's jade pendant, leading to another round of cheers.
E Feng raised his hand and stopped his junior brothers. This little bastard's techniques were startling, and he possessed the identity of a Scarlet Hawk commander. They could not kill him here today, nor could they.
Right now, the matter at hand was whether the North Moon would come or not now that the jade pendant had shattered.
This was also the question on everyone's minds!
Li Qingshan smiled at Begonia, which made Begonia smile bitterly inside. Why don't you just come up with a way to take me out? However, she did not dare to show it on her face. Instead, she sneered. "Just you wait!"
E Feng laughed madly. "Do you really think I'll be afraid of a mere wretched daemon? You've used him time and time again to scare me!" However, he could not help but seem a little cowardly on the inside.
"If you're not afraid, then just wait here with me for a while."
Having reached this point, all Begonia could do was endure it with no other choice. She obviously knew that even if she waited another decade or so, the North Moon would not come.
"I have matters to attend to. How can I waste my time here with you?" E Feng made his way towards Begonia. There was a flash before him, and Li Qingshan's large body stood in front of Begonia to protect her.
E Feng knew that it was impossible for him to take down Li Qingshan so quickly. He said to granny You, "Sect master You, this is an internal matter of your Sect of Clouds and Rain. How can you allow an outsider to interfere?"
"Haitang, stop being so stubborn!" granny You said sternly. Just when she was about to strike, Li Qingshan stood with his arms crossed and said indifferently,
"When the North Moon comes later and asks what happened here, I don't mind telling him."
Granny You immediately cowered.
E Feng said, "You're a mighty Scarlet Hawk commander, yet you're actually colluding with a wretched daemon. If this woman is lying, then so be it, but if she's telling the truth, then you're an accomplice protecting the wretched daemon!"
Li Qingshan sneered. "Go sue me if you can!"
E Feng ground his teeth in hatred, but there was nothing he could do. The status of a Hawkwolf guard was special. In the Ruyi commandery, no one had the right to judge him apart from Gu Yanying. However, everyone knew that this commander Gu was colluding with the wretched daemon more than any other cultivator in the Ruyi commandery.
"You really are a stupid animal. You've been led around by a woman's lies. I'll be waiting right here, waiting for the North Moon to come!"
E Feng made up his mind and cast aside all of his worries. He was certain that this was Begonia's stalling tactic. He refused to believe that the North Moon would actually come.
Time passed slowly. A crescent moon hung silently in the sky. The rooftop was frighteningly quiet. Some people's foreheads became covered in sweat. They wanted to leave early, but they were afraid of being mocked.
Let alone the others, even the mighty prefect, Liu Changqing, felt uneasy. Even if the North Moon came, he should not slaughter the innocent!
The night breeze drifted through the prefectural city of Clear River. There was a hubbub of voices, and lantern light shone resplendently, surging in all directions. The rooftop was like a dark, isolated island that floated on the ocean, trembling gently as it waited for the arrival of an unpredictable tsunami.
