The silhouette of a dragon coiled around Li Qingshan's right arm until it reached his fingertip and whistled through the air. Aside from the mighty dragon's cry, not many people could see its true appearance.
At the same time, the Traitorous Demon Sword that had been sent flying spun in the air. The demonic eye on the hilt stared fixedly at Huang Siqin as if it wanted to see through his entire body. It glowed with demonic light.
Huang Siqin's heart leapt into his throat. A sense of death enveloped him, and he suddenly let out a wild roar. The white hair on his body stood on end and surged with spiritual light, forming an impenetrable barrier.
The silhouette of a dragon flashed past, piercing through the giant ghost, piercing through the spiritual light, and piercing through Huang Siqin's head, leaving behind a frozen and stunned face.
In that instant, the vast sword intent completely destroyed his sea of consciousness. He did not even have the time to self-destruct and perish together with Li Qingshan.
The silhouette of the dragon returned to Li Qingshan's hand and silently coiled around it.
This was the power of an arcane treasure, and it was a purely offensive arcane treasure at that. However, Li Qingshan had not only relied on an arcane treasure to kill Huang Siqin in a single strike.
Huang Siqin's cultivation was very deep, at least at the mid or late stage. Who knew how many hidden techniques he had up his sleeves. If he only relied on the power of the Demon Suppression Statuary, it would not be easy to kill him. At their level, it had always been very difficult to kill an opponent.
However, he had lost the confidence to win from the very beginning, and he had recovered due to Li Qingshan's weakness. At the very last moment, he had hesitated again. This constant change in his emotions was fatal, especially his hesitation at the very end. It was practically suicidal.
The Traitorous Demon Sword had seen through his weakness with a single glance, and the Demon Dragon Sword had killed him in a single strike. It was only a matter of course.
When Huang Siqin's corpse fell to the ground, Li Qingshan immediately went forward and searched his Hundred Treasures Pouch. He also took out a strange Golden Core from his body. It was frosty white and oval in shape, like an insect's egg. It contained a powerful force. Presumably, it was a special Golden Core condensed by the Southern Border with the help of witchcraft!
Finally, Li Qingshan placed Huang Siqin's corpse into his Sumeru Ring. This White Eagle Commander of the Southern Border, who was insufferably arrogant, had disappeared from the world just like that. It was a pity that he still had many tricks up his sleeves. He had died just like that. He truly died with his eyes wide open.
For a moment, there was not a single sound on the giant branch. All the White Wolf Guards were stunned. The cultivators who were qualified to live in the canopy and watch the battle subconsciously held their breaths.
There was a faint clamor coming from below. People looked up and guessed what was going on.
The Marquis of Serene Sea shuddered. He knew just how strong Huang Siqin was. He did not have the confidence to defeat him, but now, he had been so casually killed. He did not even have the time to react, much less escape.
He suddenly realized that he had taken a stroll on the edge of death. If he had acted rashly just now, he would probably have suffered the same fate. He had just arrived and dared to kill his superior, much less the Marquis of Serene Sea. He was not arrogant, but strong!
He was not a fierce dragon that did not cross the river!
Li Qingshan coughed twice. His voice was like two claps of thunder, jolting everyone awake.
"Well done!" the Marquis of Serene Sea praised loudly.
"Oh? Well done in what way?" Li Qingshan dispersed his Demon Commander's Demonification and teased.
"This Huang Siqin has colluded with the demonic path and wreaked havoc on my South Sea Commandery for many years. No one has been able to eliminate him. It's all thanks to you, fellow Daoist. You descended like a divine soldier from the heavens, upholding justice and supporting the righteous path. It's simply wonderful!" the Marquis of Serene Sea said sincerely.
"Hahaha, eliminating demons and upholding justice is my duty. Prefectural governor, you flatter me."
"What prefectural governor? If you don't mind, you can just call me by my name. I'm called …"
"There's no need for that," Li Qingshan interrupted with a smile. His meaning was clear: I don't want to know your name at all.
The Marquis of Serene Sea said awkwardly, "Alright, alright! Commander, please have a seat in the manor. Let me do my duty as a host and welcome you! "
"Alright!" Li Qingshan then turned around and said to the White Wolf guards, "Is there a way to communicate with the higher-ups here?"
"Yes, there's a voice transmission room!"
"Then help me send a voice transmission. White Hawk Commander Huang Siqin colluded with the demonic path and has already been killed by White Wolf Commander Li Qingshan. We're still investigating whether the others are colluding with the demonic path." Li Qingshan paused and swept his gaze around. All the White Wolf guards shuddered before continuing, "Don't forget to ask the commander to promote me to White Hawk Commander."
The corner of the Marquis of Serene Sea's eyes twitched. That was way too blatant!
The Marquis of Serene Sea invited Li Qingshan and Little Ann to the top of the gigantic tree. There was a pavilion made of twigs where they could look down on the sea of trees. A heavenly breeze blew and birds chirped. The scenery was extremely beautiful.
As Li Qingshan sampled the delicacies and fine wine, he enjoyed the amorous song and dance. Everything was filled with the unique characteristics of the Southern Border and was exotic.
At the banquet, the Marquis of Serene Sea apologized to Li Qingshan once more. Li Qingshan then magnanimously forgave him, expressing that he did not look like someone who colluded with fiendish cultivators!
The Marquis of Serene Sea smiled apologetically and carefully investigated Li Qingshan's background. Actually, what he wanted to ask the most was whether that flash of a dragon earlier was an Arcane treasure or not. However, after some thought, he did not ask that question. He was afraid of offending Li Qingshan, but he also had an answer. If it was not an Arcane treasure, how could it have penetrated Huang Siqin's defenses so easily?
As expected of a genius from a major sect in the Green province. He even has an Arcane treasure. As the Marquis of Serene Sea, only the Seal of Mountains and Rivers looks like an Arcane treasure. If news of this spreads, he'll definitely become the target of public criticism. Everyone will come to snatch it from him.
However, the Marquis of Serene Sea thought about it again and decided to keep his mouth shut. If he was faced with an ordinary person, all he had to do was to deny it. They would not fall out with him just because they suspected him. However, this unreasonable murderer, Li Qingshan, would probably not listen to his explanation at all. As long as he had the slightest suspicion, he would be bold enough to kill him just because he said, "You look like you colluded with fiendish cultivators"!
In short, this person is too sharp. I'd better avoid him for now and wait for the day he seeks his own death!
… …
Outside the Mist capital, in the Hawkwolf Guard.
An attendant hurried to the back of the mountain, arriving before a towering tree. The tree stood over a thousand meters tall, not particularly eye-catching in the forest. However, the attendant bowed towards the tree politely.
"Commander, the South Sea commandery has sent a message!"
"What is it?"
The tree suddenly opened its eyes. A tiny, golden hawk tablet hung from the top of the tree, shining brightly.
"The South Sea commandery has sent a message. The White Hawk commander, Huang Siqin, colluded with demonic cultivators and has already been executed by Li Qingshan. The others are still under investigation. They request to be promoted to White Hawk commander!"
"Oh? Looks like he suits the south very well!"
If this were the Green province, a White Wolf commander killing a White Hawk commander would definitely lead to a great uproar. It was even possible for the headquarters of the Hawkwolf Guard in the Dragon province to investigate it.
However, this was the Mist province. The South Sea commandery was the southernmost part of the Mist province, a land of chaos. Huang Siqin was not a loyal White Hawk commander of the Hawkwolf Guard either. There was no need to investigate him colluding with fiendish cultivators at all. This was a secret that everyone in the south knew. Even in the Green province, this would be a great crime, but it was nothing in the Mist province.
"Agree to his request!"
… …
As a result, Li Qingshan had already been promoted at a startling speed, becoming the new White Hawk commander of the South Sea commandery.
"Heh, if you want to be an official, you have to commit murder and arson to receive amnesty!"
Li Qingshan changed into the uniform of a White Hawk commander, standing tall and graceful. He also wore a tiny silver hawk on his waist as he smiled at Little Ann.
Afterwards, all he needed to do was wait for the various people to charge over and enjoy the warmth of the natives of the South sea.
However, no matter how he waited, he did not even see the shadow of his enemies. Even the master of the White Wolf guard he had thrown to his death did not come to avenge his disciple. His days here were basically even more peaceful than in the Green province.
Li Qingshan was perplexed. Was this still the extremely dangerous south? He felt like he had gotten something wrong, so he returned to the Marquis of Serene Sea's estate.
"Congratulations on becoming a White Hawk commander, commander. May I ask why you've graced us with your presence today? "the Marquis of Serene Sea asked carefully.
"Commandery governor, tell me, why hasn't anyone come to kill me?" Li Qingshan sat down without any politeness and asked with a frown.
The Marquis of Serene Sea was stunned. What kind of question was that? He even seemed very troubled, asking carefully, "Why has anyone come to kill you?"
"Look, I come from a renowned orthodox sect. That day, I even said I was going to purge demonic hordes and purge them for the sake of righteousness. Those who submit to me will prosper, and those who oppose me will die. That should have spread! What are those demonic cultivators waiting for instead of killing me? "
"You want them to kill you?" the Marquis of Serene Sea said in disbelief.
"Of course. Otherwise, why would I say those things? Hehe, how embarrassing! "
"What's that for?"
The Marquis of Serene Sea looked at Li Qingshan like he was looking at a monster. As it turned out, he had said those things intentionally to mock the demonic cultivators of the South Sea commandery and draw their hatred to kill him.
What was wrong with him?
"I want to kill someone! It doesn't have to be a person. Anything will do. "
Li Qingshan said calmly. Now that it had come to this, he no longer wanted to hide his true intentions. He no longer wanted to say some nonsense about upholding justice. His main objective in coming to the South Sea commandery was to fight to his heart's content! He wanted to satisfy the tiger demon's lust for slaughter to its fullest.
"Isn't the first precept of buddhism the abstinence from killing?" The Marquis of Serene Sea was taken aback for quite a while.
Li Qingshan sniggered. "Purge demons for the sake of righteousness, purge demons for the sake of righteousness!"
The Marquis of Serene Sea was very tempted to say, You don't need to explain anymore. You've probably been stifled in the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga! The south that others viewed as a land of danger was a place he had come to find an outlet.
As a result, he let out a long sigh. "Probably no one will come to kill you for now!"
"Why? I heard that Huang Siqin has quite a lot of friends? Isn't there a single one that's loyal? "
The Marquis of Serene Sea coughed dryly. He could be regarded as one of Huang Siqin's "friends". After some indirect questioning, Li Qingshan finally understood why no one had come to make trouble for him.
First of all, the powerful strength he had displayed when he killed Huang Siqin was enough to intimidate the vast majority of demonic cultivators. Huang Siqin certainly had a network of connections, but a dead person was like an extinguished lamp. This was the south, and no one would work for a dead person.
Meanwhile, Li Qingshan's words and actions, which he thought could draw hatred, had completely backfired. Such arrogance and tyranny, killing without batting an eyelid, he was clearly a demon. Even the cultivation technique he cultivated was full of demonic Qi. Even if he was a disciple of a famous orthodox sect, he was still one of his kind in hiding.
As a result, the demonic cultivators and demonic cultivator forces that had the ability to threaten Li Qingshan felt that they could befriend and rope him in.
