"Li Qingshan, oh Li Qingshan. Haven't you heard of the saying that a tall tree attracts the wind? Do you really think you can run amok like a 'king'? I'll just borrow your head tonight.
As she spoke softly, she blinked her deep-blue eyes, and her figure drifted away under the moon.
She flew over mountains and rivers, through the vast sea of trees. When the moon set in the west, she arrived outside Savage mountain. She circled around it and praised inside.
It's no wonder that even Myriad Poison can't force his way in. These formations aren't particularly special, but the way they operate them can be described as having reached the pinnacle of perfection. If I want to sneak in without anyone noticing, it really will be rather troublesome.
However, it was just troublesome.
Very soon, the Shadow Queen passed through the thick mist and arrived in the valley. A huge tree towered into the sky in the valley, extremely eye-catching. She was taken aback. Why does this tree seem so familiar? And it seems to be the core of the protective formation! No way. Since when does the old tree king help people with something like guarding their home? Don't tell me it's just another banyan tree daemon that looks similar?
Filled with surprise, the Shadow Queen approached the Banyan Tree King. She wanted to investigate it more closely, but the sight below the tree only made her even more surprised.
It was late at night right now, the time when night roamers were active. Night roamers came and went on the streets of the town that had just taken shape. There were both men and women, young and old. The older people still behaved in a quiet manner, making no sound at all.
As for the young people and children, it was much livelier. They drank and feasted under the moon, playing around on the streets. If it were not for their ink-blue skin and pointed ears, if it were not for the fact that the children moved as nimbly as a black panther when they played around, they were basically no different from humans. They seemed like a paradise that stood aloof from the world, tranquil and peaceful.
The Shadow Queen slowed down and made her way through the streets. She was extremely confused inside. Is this really Savage mountain? Why are there so many clansmen here?
The children laughed as they passed through her body and disappeared into the corner of the street. Their laughter still lingered. She shook her head slightly, convinced that she had not fallen into some kind of illusion. The only person who could create such a realistic illusion and deceive her perception was probably that old monster from the South Sea. However, that old monster had never left the sea, and it was even more impossible for him to appear here.
As the Shadow Queen approached the depths of the town, she became more and more surprised. Not only were there so many night roamers here, but their cultivations had also exceeded her expectations. According to her senses, there were four night roamers who had undergone the second heavenly tribulation in the valley alone, and there were even more who were close to this realm. They were just stuck at a bottleneck. If they were given enough resources and the right guidance, they would be able to become a core force of the Shadow Palace.
"I've really made the right decision to come here. Compared to magic treasures, this is the most precious thing!"
The Shadow Queen was rather excited too. After all, the greatest restriction to otherfolk was their population. They followed the ancient law of nature. The more powerful the bloodline, the more difficult it was for them to reproduce. As a result, every single clansman was extremely important. Even if they were not powerful, they could still contribute to the expansion of the race.
She approached the Banyan Tree King, and her eyes suddenly narrowed. It really is this kid!
The third cave master of Savage mountain, Ghost Shadow, had changed from his secretive and silent ways. He currently stood under the canopy, on a damaged stone pedestal, loudly preaching something. A circle of male night roamers gathered around him, listening closely.
His voice drifted over with the wind. "We might be men, and our talent might not be as great as women, but that doesn't mean we should be inferior to others! Without our efforts, the night roamers would have gone extinct a long time ago. If we don't plant our seeds, will the earth sprout by itself? "
There was a series of cheers below the pedestal!
"In particular, as cultivators, we're even more equal, and our talent is actually better than most humans and daemons. We can't give up on ourselves. We have to work hard on cultivation and change our status. Isn't the Savage King who rules over us right now a man? Everyone, say it with me. We have to become stronger! "
"We have to become stronger!" The male night roamers raised their arms and called out.
"All men, unite! We're not tools for procreation!"
"All men, unite! We're not tools for procreation!" Some of the young men shed tears of excitement, gazing at Ghost Shadow in great admiration.
Although many female night roamers in the surroundings glanced at one another, no one stepped forward to stop them. After all, Ghost Shadow's strength was right there, and the cultivation method he passed down allowed everyone to benefit tremendously. If he wanted to say something, they would let him say it.
"Has this kid's brain become damaged after spending a few years in the south? Don't tell me he's trying to learn from humans and act like men are superior to women? I'd like to see what he's thinking! "
The Shadow Queen walked over and stared into Ghost Shadow's eyes. She was proficient in mind reading, and it was extremely effective against her own clansmen.
In order to make it easier for him to speak, Ghost Shadow took off the mask he wore all year round, revealing a handsome face unique to night roamers. He was complacent, even more delighted than when he had assassinated a powerful enemy.
Although he had betrayed the Shadow palace and fled, as an otherfolk who had grown up in a race, he still cared about his clansmen quite a lot. The feeling of being connected by blood was not something humans could understand. Before human cultivators, he was a cold assassin, but he yearned for the recognition of his clansmen.
During this period of time, he passed on knowledge to the night roamers as a tutor, earning him great respect. His once wounded heart was deeply satisfied, and he became determined to change the status of male night roamers.
This was not just for his ideals, but the first step to interfering with the race. He thought, I'm stronger than Ye Liusu. If I undergo the third heavenly tribulation one day, I don't have to be some Savage King. I'll just be the king of these night roamers. I'll call myself the 'Shadow King' and show that old hag the Shadow Queen my power!
Thinking up to there, Ghost Shadow suddenly shivered. The night wind seemed to chill slightly. He looked around and experienced an ominous feeling for some reason.
"Hmph, old hag! You better be prepared to die of old age in bed! "the Shadow Queen said viciously. She raised her head and gazed over." Though, this tree really does seem more and more like it the more I look at it! "
"Weiyang, is that you?" Ocean's ancient voice suddenly rang out in her head. Ye Weiyang sighed. "Tree king, it really is you!" If it were someone else, it would have been impossible for them to discover her existence.
"Hehe, only you can enter the valley silently. Why don't you give up on the assassination and sit down and have a chat with him?" The Banyan Tree King said. Li Qingshan was currently leaping down from the main peak.
"Just what benefits did Li Qingshan give you to make you act so biased? Not only do you help him maintain the formations, but you even divulged my whereabouts!"
Ye Weiyang was rather displeased. If the Banyan Tree King had kept so many night roamers from her because he was abiding by his principles, she could understand that, but he had gone too far. He had gone against the basic principles he had always followed.
