It happened to be early in the morning right now. A thin mist drifted over the surface of the water, and the air was clear and transparent. Everything seemed so peaceful.
However, the sense of danger in Li Qingshan's heart did not decrease at all. Instead, it grew heavier and heavier. The enemy must have used a method to conceal their figures and auras!
Li Qingshan made up his mind immediately and stopped refining the water. He completely erased his aura before swimming upstream and changing his position. He was like a spirit turtle diving into the abyss of the ocean, completely vanishing without a trace. No matter how sharp the soul sense of the enemy was, they would struggle to lock onto his location.
Afterwards, he used his senses to search for the enemy. Sure enough, his sudden disappearance threw the enemy into some confusion. Although he still did not leak out a single aura, the momentary waver in their minds gave the spirit turtle a clear direction for its senses.
The Spirit Turtle Suppresses the Seas!
There are three enemies, and they're all people I've interacted with in the past. Oh, so it's them. Sure enough, they can't help themselves anymore and want to make trouble for me?
The corner of Li Qingshan's lips curled into a smile, but his gaze was very stern. The newcomers were Si Qing, E Dan, and Jia Zhen. They surrounded him from three different directions.
Although they were only at Golden Core, Li Qingshan dared not be careless at all. He had not forgotten how the Dark Queen had dominated the Golden Core cultivators back then on Burial Mound mountain.
To be able to stand out in the brutal selection of princes of the Great Xia empire and rank eleventh, his strength was probably no weaker than the Dark Queen's. Since Si Qing treated Jia Zhen and E Dan politely, their cultivations went without saying.
A combined attack from the three of them would definitely be earth-shattering. They would not stop until they achieved their objective.
They've come to deal with me, so I can beat them at their own game. I'll use my clone to probe them out! However, I'll have to wait for them to strike first and avoid the brunt of the attack. My clone is still too weak after all. If I can't summon my clone back with the Watermirror's Image in time and get killed by them, losing the Water God Seal, it won't be worth it.
Si Qing's wolf-like eyes kept sweeping across the ground, but he couldn't find any trace of North Moon. This made him even more excited, and the corners of his lips curled up. "This North Moon is indeed as troublesome as the rumors say!"
Apart from duels, the game he loved the most in his life was hunting. Unfortunately, it was very difficult for him to find suitable prey with his current strength unless he went to a place of wilderness like the Mist province for training.
If it wasn't for the risk of being devoured by the prey, then hunting was just a meaningless slaughter. North Moon, on the other hand, had reignited his interest. The more cunning and ferocious the prey, the more interesting the hunt.
"North Moon, I will take your head with my own hands and make it my most precious collection!"
Jia Zhen's face sank. Ever since he arrived in the Ruyi commandery, he had begun making preparations to kill North Moon, from the innate abilities he used in every battle to the limits of his speed when he flapped his wings, to the methods he used in attack and defence, to the analysis of his personality and so on …
Finally, he came up with a perfect hunting plan, but a problem arose from the very first step. He was unable to divine him at all, so he was unable to find his precise location. Although Moon Court lake seemed to be his dwelling, through his investigations, it was only the residence of a group of night roamers, and it was protected by many formations. It was very difficult for him to launch a surprise attack.
At their realm of cultivation, defeating an opponent was easy, but killing them was far too difficult. If they could not kill him in a single strike, then there would be endless trouble in the future. They were instead better off maintaining the current situation.
In the end, they had to rely on the great cauldron of the marquis' estate to observe the situation of the water being refined in real time, and only then did they find his location. However, he actually seemed to sense it, hiding at the final moment.
"Old Jia, what do we do now?"
E Dan asked Jia Zhen through his soul sense. The impression he had left on Li Qingshan and the others was filled with a violent and violent aura. North Moon bore a grudge against him for killing his disciple and stealing his wife. In particular, he had raised E Feng single-handedly, where even his surname was derived from him. He was even closer to him than his own son. A blood feud like this was enough to drive a regular person mad and make them do everything in their power to seek revenge.
But at a time like this, he actually behaved extraordinarily calmly. There was not the slightest restlessness in his eyes, and his body was relaxed and at ease. His usual behaviour was not necessarily an excellent disguise. If anyone really treated him as a brute, they would definitely pay a heavy price.
"Wait! North Moon is rather arrogant. As long as we wait until he runs out of patience and provokes us first, we'll strike at the same time! "
"Alright!" Si Qing and E Dan both nodded in agreement.
The sun rose bit by bit. Both sides stood in a silent standoff when they could not see each other at all, waiting for the other to show an opening first. The sun rose to the highest point in the sky, scattering scorching sunlight on the ground. Water vapour rose into the air.
Helicoverpa Rosa woke up afterwards and saw North Moon sitting to one side, staring straight ahead as if he was looking at an extremely distant place.
"What are you doing?"
"You're awake! The new Marquis of Ruyi is currently bringing his two lackeys to deal with my clone. I'm trying to compete with them in patience! "
Li Qingshan casually pulled Helicoverpa Rosa into his arms. His lust had already faded, but the feel was still very good.
Helicoverpa Rosa was very unaccustomed to his gentle caresses. She sneered. "What, even you have times when you're afraid?"
Smack! Li Qingshan slapped her plump bottom without holding back. "This isn't fear. This is temporary forbearance. Back then, didn't I still have to call you ma 'am Spider Queen and let you amuse me? Now, haven't I become your master? I've become your man."
"You won't be smug for too long!" Helicoverpa Rosa's eyes were filled with viciousness. Her words seemed to be dripping with venom, enough to strike fear into people's hearts.
Li Qingshan smiled gently and said in thought, "The new Marquis of Ruyi is a prince from the Dragon province. He has a group of Soul Nascence cultivators standing behind him. On the other hand, I've fallen out with the crown prince of the Daemons of the Green province, Mo Yu. The Dragon King Of The Sea probably won't support me. If I want to kill him, I don't just need the power to defeat him. I also need to be fearless of his background. "
Helicoverpa Rosa said maliciously, "If you can kill him, I'll admit you're my man!"
Li Qingshan laughed aloud and pinched her chin. "You can deny it all you want. All I want is your body anyway. I'm not interested in your heart, so you better keep it for yourself! Instead, I'd say your indignant yet powerless appearance is what I love the most! "Afterwards, Helicoverpa Rosa revealed his favourite expression.
Time passed bit by bit. Li Qingshan teased the Spider Queen, but he did not find it boring. He would not be afraid even if he were to waste time with his clone until the end of time. Suddenly, he came to a realisation. This was the spirit turtle's method of battle!
Although he was a coward, no one could do anything to him. As for him, he could use his long lifespan to destroy all of his enemies through time.
The sun began to set in the west. Si Qing said, "Looks like he knows how powerful we are, so he's unwilling to show himself." E Dan said, "What do you think? Should we startle him? He's in this region anyway."
Jia Zhen said, "Let's retreat for now! We've already lost the opportunity. If we take action forcefully, we'll only alert him. What do you think, your highness? "
"My father once told us that the most important quality in hunting isn't courage or intelligence, but patience."
"You're right, your highness!"
The three of them retreated silently again, as if they had never been there at all. However, they could not help but feel rather resentful that they had wasted a day for nothing.
"You've come uninvited and left without saying goodbye. Why don't you tell me about it?"
Soon after the three of them left, a voice rang out from behind them. That bastard North Moon flapped his wings, smiling at them with his arms crossed.
Si Qing said, "I've long heard of the North Moon's great name. Now that I've tried it today, it really does live up to its name!" Jia Zhen and E Dan silently flanked him again.
"Then I'd advise you to stop trying it, just in case there's some misunderstanding. Or do you really have to fight to the death?"
Li Qingshan flapped his wings and retreated five kilometers. His smile remained the same, but he was extremely vigilant inside. He had already prepared the Watermirror's Image, ready to summon his clone the moment they struck.
Jia Zhen's heart skipped a beat. In the information he had gathered, the North Moon possessed a special characteristic, which was he rarely went out of his way to stir up trouble. He did not hold any hostility towards humans either, only devoting himself to cultivation. Only when others obstructed him and dealt with him first would he strike valiantly and kill them all.
He played a decisive role in the end of the game of chess in the Clear River prefecture. Otherwise, it would not have been difficult for him to uproot the Hundred Schools of Thought and the various sects and clans with his own strength. However, he could endure it several times, even allowing the people of the academy to leave safely on Bronze Cauldron mountain. Beneath his arrogant, unbridled appearance was a relatively cautious person who knew when to advance and when to retreat.
This was his advantage, but it was not like he could not use it!
"We've come this time because we want to make friends with you."
"Heh, you humans sure have a special way of making friends!" Li Qingshan sneered.
"I'm just confirming that you have the right. If you don't live up to your name, then you deserve to be killed. The strong will never make friends with the weak," Si Qing said indifferently, vaguely understanding Jia Zhen's intentions. What he said was not out of line, but it was reasonable and convincing.
"That's not bad, but aren't humans and daemons irreconcilable?"
Jia Zhen said, "That's not the case. The founding emperor borrowed the power of the Ten Daemon Kings to unite the world when he fell ill. Doesn't the White Hawk commander of the Ruyi commandery, Gu Yanying, possess the bloodline of daemons? As a result, whether you're an enemy or a friend has nothing to do with your identity or race, but with your common interests. If your interests clash, even if you're of the same race, or even brothers, you'll still have to fight to the death. Your Excellency should have already experienced this point. "
Li Qingshan smiled. "That makes even more sense. However, I'd like to ask, where are our common interests? If only the headquarters were working with a tiger. "
Jia Zhen said, "With your wisdom, do you really think we'll be able to fool you? Common interests need to be found together. Getting along peacefully beats risking your life and carrying out vendettas, right?
