The storm stopped, but the thick clouds continued to cover the sky. On the eastern horizon, the dim light of dawn peeked through the clouds. Before they knew it, night had passed and dawn had arrived.
The cool wind ruffled his long, scarlet hair, still wet from the rain and mist that had yet to disperse. It was a comfortable morning.
Li Qingshan stood alone on the tallest mountain in the Moon Court dwelling, staring at the northern sky sternly as if he was waiting for something.
Suddenly, an aura appeared in the northern sky. It viciously tore through the clouds, allowing sunlight to pour down. It was still extremely far away, but the surging aura was rather suffocating.
After Jia Zhen fled, he immediately reported everything to Si Qing, who then passed it on to the Beast King. After obtaining his enemy's name and appearance, the Beast King immediately set off, killing his way over from the Dragon province.
His orange-yellow eyes were like those of a wild beast, immediately locking onto the figure with drifting, scarlet hair and the two words above his head, "North Moon". There was no mistaking it.
Bang! The air exploded, and a gust of wind blew, creating white ripples in the void.
The Beast King whistled over and landed in front of Li Qingshan. The entire island trembled, and countless structures collapsed.
Li Qingshan held his breath and did not take a single step back. He studied the "Beast King".
He seemed to be in his fifties, and he was much taller than regular people. His nose was tall and wide, and his eyes shone brightly. His mouth drooped down, but it was truly a gaping mouth. He was like an old lion. As he looked around, he really did give off the bearing of a king among beasts. He did not hide his aura at all. His fury was like a volcano that was about to erupt, about to destroy the world.
Although he had defeated a "king" before, that was because he had gathered the power of countless people. Taking advantage of the favorable timing, geographical, and social conditions, he had shattered space in the end to kill the Corpse King.
However, Li Qingshan had estimated that under normal circumstances, even if he was much more powerful than before, and even if he had the Water God Seal to rely on, death would still be certain in the end if he fought the Corpse King one on one.
Unless he immediately flapped his wings and fled as soon as he saw him from afar, only then would he have a chance at survival. A huge chasm of strength existed between two realms of cultivation. It could not be crossed easily. The Beast King in front of him was probably even more powerful than the Zombie King.
The Beast King was also scrutinizing "North Moon". There were not many people who could remain calm in the face of his wrath. Furthermore, the aura he gave off was not strong, far from being strong enough to kill E Dan. This left him rather puzzled.
"You're the one who killed E Dan!" A low roar that sounded like a lion's.
"That's right," Li Qingshan said frankly.
"You dare to stay here?"
"At the very least, I have to see what my enemy looks like and verify some things."
"Now that you've seen it, are you ready to die? I will refine your soul into a beast soul! "
The Beast King took another step forward, and a powerful aura surged forth like a tsunami.
Li Qingshan smiled, "I won't die in your hands!"
Before he could finish his sentence, a hand with thick joints grabbed his throat. It was so fast that he had no time to react. In his eyes, he could still see the afterimage of the Beast King standing there.
Li Qingshan muttered to himself, "Looks like other people aren't worth relying on after all. Only personal strength is true strength!"
His body suddenly shuddered like a ripple. The light and shadow twisted before completely shattering and vanishing.
This was only a clone he had left here. He was not foolish enough to stay here with his original body and wait for the Beast King to kill him. When he sensed the impending doom and danger coming from the north, he immediately made up his mind, which was to flee!
As the saying went, "Fleeing is the best strategy of the thirty-six stratagems". The true essence of the spirit turtle was to avoid disaster and conceal himself.
In simpler terms, he was a coward who could not be found. No matter how powerful his enemies were, they could do nothing to him.
He had left his mirror clone here to see what the Beast King looked like, as well as to see how the Dragon King Of The Sea would react. It did not make sense that only E Dan could kill North Moon, while North Moon could not, or he would be killed in revenge.
As the king of the daemons of the Green province, the Dragon King Of The Sea was also the protector of all daemons in name. If he allowed the Daemon Commanders and Daemon Generals under him to be killed by powerful human cultivators, he would be failing in his duty.
But in the end, the Dragon King Of The Sea did not appear, which explained many problems.
It was impossible for the Dragon King Of The Sea to be unaware of such a great disturbance on Moon Court lake. The Beast King had charged over from the Dragon province aggressively, while the Dragon King Of The Sea, who was also on the Green province, had not arrived in time. Perhaps he lacked the ability, or perhaps he lacked the will, but there was only one conclusion. The Dragon King Of The Sea was not worth relying on.
"North Moon, no matter where you flee to, I will kill you and refine you into a beast soul!"
With a roar, the clouds dispersed, and the Beast King punched the mountain below him.
Boom!
Black cracks spread out in all directions. The entire island fell to pieces, collapsing into Moon Court lake. The underwater dwelling was completely destroyed.
At this moment, Li Qingshan was traversing deep underground. In order to hide his tracks, he did not even unfurl his wings. He only ran swiftly and gracefully with a smile on his face. He sensed a slight tremor in the distance and fine sand rustled down from above. He concealed his aura and slowed down slightly, silently circulating the spirit turtle's daemon core.
The only thing he was worried about was someone locking onto his location through divination. With his identity and cultivation as a Beast King, he would definitely be able to find an extremely powerful practitioner of divination. He had to be careful about this.
Fortunately, the spirit turtle was skilled in this aspect. After ingesting the Fruit of Wisdom, he had gained a deeper understanding of how to use this power, so there was no need for him to worry too much. However, he had to temporarily give up on his identity as North Moon.
Entering the pitch-black, complicated caves, he was like a spirit turtle slowly diving into the abyss. No one could find his traces anymore.
In an inconspicuous little cave in the Chain mountains, a small stream gurgled into it.
Li Qingshan strode out of the pitch-black underground. He already had black hair, black eyes, and a bronze face.
The sun currently shone resplendently. All the trees were verdant and luxuriant. A figure in snow-white robes was sitting on a rock not far away beside a small stream, looking at him with a faint smile.
Her long, dark hair draped down from her beautiful face like a waterfall, reaching her waist and drifting in the wind. Compared to her usual valiant appearance, her current attire seemed even more romantic and elegant. However, it was very difficult to describe her with words that were more feminine or charming. Perhaps it was because she was always so confident and composed, or perhaps it was because she never treated herself as a woman.
Li Qingshan shivered inside and clasped his hands. "Greetings, commander Gu!"
Gu Yanying said, "Little bro Qingshan, you've made quite the mess this time."
Li Qingshan laid out his hands and made an expression of helplessness. "Life forces people."
Gu Yanying said, "I think you're enjoying it."
Li Qingshan smiled. "There's an old saying from my hometown. Life is like this. If you can't fight back, then enjoy it!"
Gu Yanying raised an eyebrow. "That doesn't sound like something a farmer of the Crouching Ox village would say. And, the one who was raped wasn't you, but E Dan!"
Li Qingshan said, "Let's hope he enjoys this final battle! Alright, don't tell me you've been waiting for me here just to hear me say this! "
Gu Yanying raised two fingers. "Two matters. First, after you left, the king of myriad beasts rushed underground and unleashed a massacre against the night roamers and daemons. The Dragon King Of The Sea sent him back to the Dragon province."
"That old beast sure is obedient."
"Unless he wants to die in the Green province."
"Can the Dragon King Of The Sea kill him?"
Li Qingshan was mildly surprised. He had personally witnessed the Beast King's strength. After all, the higher one's realm of cultivation, the more difficult it was to kill them. If he wanted to kill a Beast King, he would have to be far more powerful than him.
"I don't think there's any problem."
"Mighty be our king!"
Li Qingshan could not help but reevaluate the strength of the Ten Daemon Kings. They had been conferred the title of Ten Daemon Kings several millennia ago, and after several millennia of accumulation, every single one of them was a terrifying old monster.
Gu Yanying said, "The Dragon King Of The Sea has already ordered North Moon to go to the Ink sea to see him!"
Li Qingshan said, "Do you think North Moon should go?"
"I don't think North Moon will go."
"That's right. I'll pretend I never heard about this."
Li Qingshan smiled and nodded. He would never entrust his life and safety to the mood of a powerhouse, and he hated to play the role of a subject. He had too many secrets, and he might not be able to hide them from the Dragon King.
Of course, he could also send his doppelganger to the Ink sea. However, such a rude action would probably anger the Dragon King Of The Sea. Not every Demon King was as calm and magnanimous as the Golden Cicada Spirit King and the Banyan Tree King. Therefore, the best way was to pretend he never heard about this.
Gu Yanying said, "Then there's the second thing. There's an official in Great Xia called the Imperial Astronomer. I know their supervisor. He's a muddle-headed old man, but at the same time, he's the most powerful Yin-yang practitioner in the Nine Provinces. The Imperial Astronomer has a magic treasure called the Imperial Heavenly Platform. It's a hundred feet tall, refined from Yin and Yang, the essence of the five elements, and flying stars. As long as that old man performs divination on it, there's almost nothing he doesn't know. Jia Zhen happens to be related to him."
This revealed the thing that Li Qingshan was most worried about. He frowned and muttered, "Imperial Astronomer, Imperial Heavenly Platform!"
"That old man doesn't perform divination for others easily, and he won't use the Imperial Heavenly Platform casually. Jia Zhen alone won't be able to persuade him, but if we add in the Beast King, Prince Si Qing, and the imperial family's desire to take back the Asura Field, we can make him pay a visit to the Imperial Heavenly Platform and divine a certain person's location. "
"This is really bad."
"This is a Minor Five Elements Reversal Formation. It can obscure the mysteries of heaven. Don't leave the range of the formation for at least three months. Coupled with your own remarkable abilities, you should be able to deceive everyone. That's right, entering the Asura Field will also have a certain effect. "
Gu Yanying handed the formation to Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan was silent for a moment. "Take it as me buying it from you. Our debts are settled."
This kind of formation that could interfere with the divination of the strongest Yin-yang practitioner was definitely priceless. And what was even more precious was the information that she had given him. If his location was calculated without him knowing, even Li Qingshan's identity might be exposed.
