Although otherfolk and humans both shared the same word, their hatred for one another was so deep that it completely surpassed their hatred for the daemons who ate the most humans. It was probably because daemons could not tell so much from eating, and being killed and eaten was a common occurrence.
What surprised Li Qingshan even more was Ru Xin's attitude. Just like how she felt for her own kind, she was extraordinarily indifferent towards Merfolk as if she did not treat herself as a Merfolk at all. At the same time, she did not treat herself as a human either.
Thinking up to there, Li Qingshan glanced around the beach, but he did not find any traces of Ru Xin. They had split up, so he had no idea where she was right now. However, he was not worried either. With the Myriad Poison Ancestor's protection, she definitely would not be in any danger.
The duration of the Merfolk sea fair was not fixed either. It could be as short as a night or as long as several days. This time, Gongyuan had come in person, so it would probably be a little longer, so he was not afraid of missing it.
"Kid, we've already reached the shore. Why aren't you getting off?" Elder Blue lost his temper. He swung his tail and kicked up a huge wave.
Gongyuan had already disembarked from the whale's back with the elders, currently meeting with Ji Changfeng on the platform. The two of them glanced over from time to time.
Only Li Qingshan remained standing on the large blue whale, as if he was waiting for something.
He smiled at Ji Changfeng and Gongyuan before crossing his legs and patting elder Blue's smooth head.
"Don't be in such a hurry. I'm waiting for someone!"
"Tsk, kid, are you really treating me as your mount? Get off me right now!" If it were not for the fact that elder Blue was afraid of disrupting the sea fair, he would have gone all out against Li Qingshan right now.
As he said that, another figure flew over from the Cloud Mountains on the horizon. His target was elder Blue's head.
"Let's see who else dares to come. Eh, what a beautiful little girl!" Elder Blue was surprised for a moment. He forgot to get angry and let Little Ann land on his head.
"That is …" A ray of light flashed across Ji Changfeng's eyes. When he was young, he was also very promiscuous and flirtatious. Now that he had reached this age, although he had long thrown this thought out of the nine heavens and thought that he had seen all kinds of beauties, he would no longer be stunned by them. However, at this moment, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. There's actually such a beauty in the world. There are so many talents in the Nine Prefectures!
Ji Qingyu and the rest of the cultivators with weaker composure were even more stunned, unable to shift their gazes away.
The mermaid girls were indeed beautiful, but compared to her, it was like the difference between a pearl and the moon. They could not compete with her in terms of splendor. She didn't have any accessories on her, it was as if there were only two colors of black and white. Her hair was black, her eyes were white, and her skin was snow-white. She was even better than the Mermaid Queen.
She's Little Ann. Just Now, the dragon's roar came from her mouth. It's said that she's even younger than Li Qingshan. She shouldn't even be thirty yet. Such cultivation is truly terrifying. Although most humans are mediocre, with billions of them, a genius would occasionally appear, and even Gods would be left in the dust. That's how they were able to unify the Nine Prefectures.
Gongyuan thought to herself, But do buddhist disciples also cultivate the art of charm? It's not as simple as the art of charm.
Although the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty contained many techniques such as artifact forging and alchemy, there was no such thing as the art of charm. It derived the path of life and death, the appearance of emptiness. Great Beauty as Color, White Bone as Emptiness. The two words' Great Beauty 'contained the pinnacle of beauty in the mortal world, and only then could it reflect the emptiness of white bone.
It was not the art of charm, but it far surpassed all other arts of charm. It originated from the very essence, directly targeting one's heart.
The people from the Sword Tower sure are slow. This is probably the so-called show of strength again. Hmph, do you think I'm the one begging you? If you're so good, then don't come! Li Qingshan found a bronze mask and had Little Ann put it on. Then, he called out to the sky, "Yu Wufeng!"
The South Sea Sword Tower was just a pawn in the first place. It was not like he was the one asking the master of the Sword Tower for help, so it was good that they did not come to make trouble for him.
Yu Wufeng stood in the sky and stared in the direction of the South Sea Sword Tower, but he did not see any sword flashes flying over. When he heard Li Qingshan's call, he showed a helpless expression. He turned into a streak of white light and arrived before Li Qingshan, but he did not land on the whale. He clasped his hands and said, "What are your orders, my king?"
"It's not good to keep waiting like this. The brother below is already unwilling. If your master wants to come, he'll naturally come. Let's go ashore first! "Li Qingshan said.
"Yes," Yu Wufeng said.
"You're Yu Wufeng?!" Elder Blue exclaimed in surprise. Although they had only met once many years ago, both that streak of white light and that head of white hair left too deep of an impression.
"It's been many years. I didn't think Elder Blue would still remember me." Yu Wufeng smiled.
After Little Ann put on the mask, he had just caused a wave of disappointment. Yu Wufeng's appearance immediately caused an even greater uproar.
"It really is him, the Fogbow Swordsman, Yu Wufeng!" "Didn't he betray the South Sea Sword Pavilion? Why does he still dare to come to the South Sea? " "Your information is too outdated. This is the South Sea Sword Pavilion's plan. They wanted him to seize Savage Mountain.
However, they never thought that this Li Qingshan would interfere. Not only did he fail to become King of Savages, but he even lost himself in it. "
Yu Wufeng sighed inside when he heard these discussions. When he looked back, there were quite a few familiar faces among the South Sea cultivators on the beach. Just now, he was unwilling to come down because there were too many familiar faces below. However, he was calm now, clasping his hands from afar to show that he had met them.
Almost all the cultivators returned the greeting from afar. In terms of reputation among the South Sea cultivators, Yu Wufeng was much more renowned than Li Qingshan. He had been a great genius in the past, wielding the Fogbow Sword and roaming the South Sea alone. He had been in the limelight for a time. Afterwards, he betrayed the South Sea Sword Pavilion and became the first cave master of Savage Mountain, which added to his legend. Now that he had returned to the South Sea, the Fogbow Sword was still the same, but his cultivation had improved. He was only a step away, which should have been something worthy of celebration. However, he had been bound by the Blood Oath Scroll and become someone else's slave. How could people not sigh emotionally?
A few of Yu Wufeng's old friends made their way over as soon as they saw him, but when they saw him refer to Li Qingshan as king and stand behind him silently, they all stopped and hesitated. They felt very conflicted inside. They would rather they had never seen this.
"Wufeng, you're quite popular in the South Sea," Li Qingshan smiled.
"My king, don't look at how I am now. I was once a swordsman too! With this meter-long sword, I saved people from danger, "Yu Wufeng said.
Yu Wufeng said. After experiencing the various matters, he had already accepted Li Qingshan wholeheartedly. In particular, the Myriad Poison Ancestor's fate delighted him greatly. He no longer considered becoming enemies with Li Qingshan anymore.
This was not because he feared Li Qingshan's strength. As a sword cultivator, if he did not possess a staunch and unyielding character that would rather break than bend, it would have been impossible for him to reach his current level of cultivation. He accepted Li Qingshan out of admiration and recognition.
"Yeah, you don't seem like a demonic cultivator to me. Don't worry, even if your master doesn't come, I'll remove the blood oath in the future." Li Qingshan patted his shoulder. Someone like him had not taken the initiative to become enemies with him, nor was he a demonic cultivator who was guilty of countless crimes. If it were possible, Li Qingshan was willing to let him continue down the path of cultivation.
"Then … then thank you, my king. If I'm lucky enough to undergo the third heavenly tribulation, I'll definitely repay you!"
What Yu Wufeng feared the most was that Li Qingshan would use the Blood Oath Scroll to suppress him for the rest of his life. Suddenly receiving this promise, he could not help but be taken aback. He knew that Li Qingshan was not a person who kept his promises easily, so he could not help but admire his breadth of mind.
If it were someone else, even if they had no use for Yu Wufeng, they would never spare him so easily, afraid that he would take revenge after undergoing the third heavenly tribulation. However, Li Qingshan was not afraid. His breadth of mind and boldness originated from absolute confidence. Once he underwent the third heavenly tribulation, even if Yu Wufeng fell out with him, all he would have to do was kill him with a single punch.
"I hope it's not revenge."
Li Qingshan smiled. He believed in his own insight. As a genius sword cultivator, Yu Wufeng was not a petty person like that. If the Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber or some other demonic cultivator were in his position, he would never have done this. Even if it was a promise, it would probably be a bluff.
"Never! I can swear on my heart of the sword that I'll never become your enemy! Actually, we shouldn't have been enemies in the first place. It's all just a coincidence and fate. However, that's not necessarily a bad thing. I'm in a hurry to return to the South Sea Sword pavilion, so actually, the chances of me undergoing the tribulation aren't great. Perhaps it's my fortune instead that I've been dealt this blow and tempered a little more. I only hope that we can speak as equals when the time comes. I don't have to call you king anymore, "Yu Wufeng said from the bottom of his heart.
If he cast aside their conflict, everything that Li Qingshan had done in the Mist province — subduing the cave master of Savage mountain, sweeping through the demons of the south, destroying the Myriad Poison cult, and slaughtering a hundred thousand Bone Eating shamans — were all things that he wanted to do but could not. Even if he underwent the third heavenly tribulation and became a great sword cultivator, he would not be able to subdue the Myriad Poison Ancestor, nor would he be bold enough to fall out with the Bone Eating Shaman King. If he had a choice, he would be extremely willing to befriend Li Qingshan.
"Sure. Actually, I don't want to trample on others and abuse my authority, but there are some people who won't treat you as a human if you don't trample on them!"
Li Qingshan shook his head. Because he had once ridden on brother ox's back, he refused to lower his head to anyone. It was also exactly because he had witnessed brother ox's strength that he understood how distant the Nine Heavens were, which was why it was very difficult for him to develop the mentality of a so-called expert who treated mortals like ants. Looking down from above, he was just a slightly stronger ant. He had just gained some strength, yet he thought he was impressive, acting all high and mighty. Even he himself found it embarrassing.
He had only stood before the Merfolk Queen and said a few words normally, yet he had been labelled as arrogant. He had only called Zhu Yan fellow, yet he had been mocked without restraint. Just who was the arrogant one here?
Yu Wufeng felt ashamed. If he had conversed with Zhu Yan as an equal in the past, it would have never ended up like this. He had been confident in his strength and possessed a geographical advantage, so he did not take Li Qingshan seriously at all. He even blamed him for ruining his plans on Savage mountain. In the end, he only thought of befriending him after being trampled underfoot, which basically answered what he had said.
"Get down here!" Elder Blue flew into a rage.
"It's not like I'm talking about you. Alright, alright, alright. I'll get down right now!" Li Qingshan suddenly discovered that if he said that from elder Blue's head, he would really be pointing at a bald man and scolding a monk. He had been implicated while he was doing nothing.
The rumors really are true. His current cultivation is actually a little more powerful than I anticipated. He really is a genius of the sword. Who can give up on a disciple like that so easily? If my sect had a successor like that, I'd probably have to agree to whatever conditions Li Qingshan brings up. It'll be enough to ensure that the Cloud Sail sect remains in power for a millennium. Ye Duanhai's in for a headache.
As Ji Changfeng pondered, he gave Ji Qingyu a meaningful look.
Ji Qingyu flew over. "I am Ji Qingyu. I've come under the sect master's orders to invite the three of you to the platform." He could not help but glance at Little Ann again, meeting You Tong behind the bronze mask before immediately shifting his gaze.
