Li Qingshan's soul sense flowed like water, entering the Soaring Dragon sword along with the demon qi.
Suddenly, a world unfolded before him. Countless figures stood with swords in their hands, wielding countless Soaring Dragon swords as they danced through the air. Flicking, stabbing, hacking, and slashing. Countless exquisite sword techniques combined into a majestic path of the sword unique to the Soaring Dragon sword.
The famed swords of the Sword Collection palace were precious not just because of their power, but because they were the legacy of the Sword Collection palace's power.
The figures were the comprehensions and wills of the past masters of the Soaring Dragon sword over the path of the sword. Perhaps they paled slightly in comparison to the profound sword intent of the Three Absolutes Calligraphy, but they were clearer and easier to comprehend.
Streaks of light criss-crossed in the depths of Li Qingshan's eyes. He nodded from time to time as if he had comprehended something. Quite a while later, he dismissed his thoughts and comprehended the path of the sword. He felt like he had benefited quite a lot again.
"Though, I don't need so many voices!"
The surging demon qi spread out in the world within the sword. The countless figures vanished, merging into a single person in the end. It was Li Qingshan's demonified self, more condensed than any of the figures in the past. He swung the Soaring Dragon sword gently.
"Clang", the Demon Suppression Chains broke apart inch by inch. The Flying Dragon Sword let out a long dragon cry, and its overall shape changed greatly. The perfectly straight blade became curved, and a layer of fine dragon scales covered it, giving it a sinister air.
The golden light was gone. Dark light flowed, like a dragon and a sword!
It was obvious with a single glance that it was a demon artifact. Unless they were extremely familiar with the Soaring Dragon sword, they would never be able to connect the two together.
Li Qingshan's fingertip brushed past the spine, and the edge of the sword thrummed gently, becoming submissive. It began to dance slowly. His movements were extremely slow. The light from the sword swam around him like a dragon, flowing and profound.
However, in terms of compatibility with the sword, even the Soaring Dragon Elder paled in comparison. Their minds were one, like an extension of their limbs.
"From today onwards, you will be called the Demon Dragon!"
… …
Fragrant Flower market.
Chrysanthemum Fragilis currently soaked in the hot spring. Within the rising steam, a figure walked over and called out her name, "Chrysanthemum Fragilis!"
It was a woman's voice. It was extremely pleasant. However, it was rather cold. It sounded like metal.
"Who is it?"
Chrysanthemum Fragilis leaped out of the water and struck out with her palm. Layers of mist dispersed, revealing a white-clothed woman with an ice-cold expression. He turned a blind eye to the incoming energy.
However, when Chrysanthemum Fragilis saw the woman's clothes, she was shocked. He twisted his right hand. The energy swept past the woman, and with a loud bang, a wall was split open.
The woman's clothes were embroidered with lotus flowers. It floated slightly.
"Sir, may I ask which Hall Master of the White Lotus Sect is it?"
Chrysanthemum Fragilis said. That was the attire of a Hall Master of the White Lotus Sect. Normally, she wouldn't even see an Altar Master here, so why would a Hall Master of the White Lotus Sect grace her with her presence?
"Clear Ripple Hall!"
"So it is Hall Master Shi who has graced us with her presence. Please forgive me for not coming out to greet you. Please allow me to change my clothes!"
Chrysanthemum Fragilis was shocked. She had also heard of the great name of the Clear Ripple Hall, or rather, the infamous name. It made her tremble with fear. The infamy that the Clear Ripple Hall Master Shi Ji had made in these three years was simply too resounding. If she was offended, the Fragrant Flower Clan would face the calamity of extermination.
"No need, this is fine. I am here to investigate the matter of the Zi Lotus Altar!" Shi Ji said coldly, standing with her hands behind her back.
"What happened to the Zi Lotus Altar!" Chrysanthemum Fragilis' heart trembled.
…
Three months later, Li Qingshan stepped out of the cave. Specks of sunlight twinkled between the leaves like stars. He raised his right hand, and a ferocious Demon Dragon coiled around his wrist.
Three months of cultivation was still not enough for him to unleash the full power of the sixth layer of the Demon Suppression Statuary, but it was close. Coupled with the Demon Dragon sword, he had basically recovered most of his strength.
"Congratulations on emerging, sir!" "A 'yue!" Xianghua Zi and Xianghua Lu rushed over.
"How's your story coming along?"
"As long as I don't investigate it in detail, there definitely won't be any loopholes!" Xianghua Zi said confidently.
"Then let's go check it out!"
Li Qingshan unfurled the mental map of the Mist province and found the Lotus Flower peak where the headquarters of the White Lotus Sect resided. With a wave of his hand, a cloud rose up, and he flew off.
The Lotus Flower peak appeared on the horizon, like a lotus flower that was about to bloom. It glowed with rings of white light, illuminating the night sky.
"Let's just leave her here!"
Li Qingshan gazed at the lotus flower in the distance and descended on the cloud. He switched to walking and rushed to the foot of the Lotus Flower peak under the cover of night.
Everything went much more smoothly than he had imagined. He did not even have to say the words he had prepared beforehand before being let in. It was even easier than entering the formations of the Zi Lotus altar.
This originated from a form of confidence. Even if the cult leader of the Snake God was bold enough to infiltrate the headquarters of the White Lotus Sect, he could only enter but not leave!
Xianghua Zi mentioned Xianghua Hong's name, but the person who came was an unfamiliar man with a cold expression. He asked, "You're the disciples who escaped from the Zi Lotus altar?"
"Yes!"
"Come with me!" The man turned around and made his way up the mountain.
"May I ask where we're going, brother?"
"You'll know once we get there!"
Moving along the mountain path, Xianghua Zi and Xianghua Lu were both uneasy. They subconsciously moved closer to Li Qingshan. Very soon, they arrived before a building. A boulder at the entrance was engraved with the words "Clear Ripple hall", lifted up by a lotus flower.
"The Clear Ripple hall!" Xianghua Zi cried out involuntarily. A sliver of fear appeared on her face.
Li Qingshan thought, There really are a lot of people who know about the Clear Ripple hall, but if they have not personally seen her and identified her, they would not know even if they knew.
"Our hall leader wishes to see you and ask about the Zi Lotus altar. Be careful when you speak later. If you show any disrespect …" A sliver of killing intent flashed through the man's eyes.
Xianghua Zi said in a hurry, "I wouldn't dare!"
They passed through the hall and arrived in a quiet courtyard at the back. The man bowed politely. "Hall leader, I've brought her!"
"Ru Xin!"
Li Qingshan almost blurted out these two words. He stared straight at the woman in white. Who else could it be apart from Ru Xin? However, Ru Xin did not seem to recognise him. She was indifferent.
"How dare you!" The man called out, and Li Qingshan imitated Xianghua Zi and Xianghua Lu and bowed. "Disciple of the Zi Lotus altar, Goldie A 'yue, greets the hall leader!"
"You can leave first!" Ru Xin waved her hand, and did not even look at Li Qingshan. She arrived in front of Xianghua Zi and Xianghua Lu, and placed her hand on their shoulders. She said softly, "Your mother told me everything. There are spies in the Zi Lotus altar. Was it you?"
"We are not spies!" Xianghua Zi cried out involuntarily. Under that pressure, she could not maintain her calm at all. She could not help but raise her voice. Xianghua Lu was even more speechless.
"Then it's you!" Ru Xin glanced at Li Qingshan.
"That's right, it's me!" Li Qingshan suddenly turned into his crimson-haired and crimson-eyed form. He looked at Ru Xin with a burning gaze.
