"At least it's not too slow. I just never thought the promise of the past would only be fulfilled now."
Li Qingshan thought back to when Peng Jingni and Qian Liangmu had visited Savage mountain together. Before he knew it, several years had already passed.
"If this is slow, then there's nothing fast in the world! In just a few years, you've swept through the demonic cultivators of the south, defeated the Myriad Poison cult, and slaughtered countless Bone Eating tribes. Right now, who doesn't know the name of the King of Savages in the Mist province? I just hope we can reach a satisfactory conclusion today, "Peng Jingni said from the bottom of his heart. Probably no one had imagined Li Qingshan would rise up so quickly.
"That'll depend on whether your master takes me seriously or not!" Li Qingshan smiled.
"Who can take the mighty King of Savages lightly?" Peng Jingni shook his head with a bitter smile.
The two of them conversed happily, but the elders and disciples of the South Sea Sword pavilion behind them were not so friendly. Many of them showed hostility in their eyes. Not only had Li Qingshan destroyed the South Sea Sword pavilion's plans, but he had even enslaved Yu Wufeng, forcing the master of the sword pavilion to lead everyone to Giant Ship island. They were obviously not in a good mood.
Some of the older elders were still able to keep a straight face, but the younger disciples were not as good at maintaining their composure. If Peng Jingni had not expressed his stance quickly, probably some of them would have been unable to hold themselves back from mocking Li Qingshan, which would have led to many more setbacks in their lives.
Yu Wufeng saw this and nodded to himself. Junior brother Peng had already done a very good job as the first senior brother.
"Sir," Ji Qingyu called out carefully from the side.
"I've made you wait. We'll be going right now!" Li Qingshan arrived on the platform with Little Ann and clasped his hands. "I've long heard of the Wind Gale King's great name. Now that I've seen you today, you really do live up to your reputation. I'll be troubling you for the next few days."
"The King of Savages has graced the Cloud Sail sect with your presence. Please wait a moment. There really is quite a lot of goods this time!" Ji Changfeng returned the gesture politely, treating Li Qingshan as an equal.
"Although there are many things, there doesn't seem to be anything particularly precious."
The goods on the whale's back were naturally priceless to ordinary cultivators, but Li Qingshan did not think much of them. Of course, he knew that the truly valuable goods would not be placed outside, but in the Sumeru Ring and Hundred Treasures Pouch.
That was very strange. Could it be that the two great cultivators and the Merfolk Queen were here just to look at these common goods?
The Myriad Poison Ancestor had the right to do so, but according to the plan, the Myriad Poison Ancestor would never appear at a time like this. This was clearly stated in the letter of visit. And, the master of the sword pavilion definitely would not be willing to wait. After speaking a little with Gongyuan and Ji Changfeng, Ye Duanhai arrived on the edge of the platform alone with his sword. He was currently conversing with Yu Wufeng. He was extremely serious, but he did not show any dissatisfaction at all.
"When the sea fair opens, Fellow Daoist will naturally see it. However, Fellow Daoist might not know this …" Ji Changfeng paused for a moment. "… This time, the head butler of the Yue King's Mansion, Mr. Ram, ah, isn't he here?"
Yue Wangfu!
Li Qingshan raised an eyebrow. This was not within his expectations. He had no idea whether it would affect the plan or not. Whatever. How could he calculate everything in life? He'd just take it one step at a time!
In the northern sky, a mountain of clouds moved against the wind.
Suddenly, a huge ship broke through the mountain of clouds, speeding over under the moonlight as it glowed with silver light.
"What a huge ship!" Li Qingshan was taken aback. The huge ship was around three thousand meters long, and it was rather similar to the Soaring Dragon ship. Its lines were even sharper and smoother, and it was ten times larger than the Soaring Dragon ship. It hovered in the sky like the sword of a god.
"Hmm? It's the Silver Dragon King! Don't be fooled by its size. If it flies at full speed, it won't be much slower than pavilion master Ye's sword. "
Ji Changfeng was taken aback before introducing with a smile.
However, Li Qingshan could clearly sense that his expression was no longer as carefree as Just Now, while Gongyuan's gaze had become slightly colder. Ye Duanhai stopped talking with his disciple and stared at the incoming Silver Dragon King. He did not refute Ji Changfeng's words.
"The South Sea Sword pavilion is relatively close to the Mist province, but they've always maintained their independence. Ye Duanhai isn't an honoured guest either. The Cloud Sail sect is isolated in the ocean, so they only need to maintain good relations with the Merfolk of the South sea. It's even less likely that they'll pay any attention to the King of Southern Yue. As for the Merfolk, there's no need to even mention them. They've always hated humans, and they seem to have even clashed with the King of Southern Yue's estate in history. "
"The three of them are all powerful figures in the world. Against a mere caretaker, a Golden Core cultivator who's a ram or a ewe, they all have to get serious. The King of Southern Yue's influence is just too great. Oh, I forgot to include myself. I'm a genius cultivator from the enemy's camp, and I've clearly refused to become an honoured guest of the King of Southern Yue's estate. Although the Banyan Tree King is keeping things in check, the King of Southern Yue definitely doesn't like me very much. If that's the case, we're all so-called outsiders. "
When Li Qingshan thought of that, he suddenly felt a chill inside. The creed of ambitious figures throughout history had always been, "If you don't work for me, you'll be killed by me," and "How can I allow someone else to sleep by my bedside?"
According to the Banyan Tree King's analysis of the situation in the Mist province, the King of Southern Yue's estate had already begun gathering the strength of the Mist province's cultivation community to prepare for the war that was drawing closer and closer. Right now, there was a group of rather powerful "outsiders" in the south, or even potential "opposition". The King of Southern Yue would definitely be very tempted to make them all vanish.
And through the Merfolk sea fair, they just happened to gather together …
The Silver Dragon King drew closer and closer. It was clearly an inanimate object, yet it gave off a great pressure. After Ji Changfeng said that it was very fast, he lost interest in talking.
However, Li Qingshan knew that regular Soaring Dragon ships were not renowned for their speed. Instead, they were renowned for their indestructible defences and terrifying destructive power. He doubted whether they could take down this thing even if they worked together.
Only a single person knew the answer among everyone present. It was not Ji Changfeng, Gongyuan, or Ye Duanhai, but Little Ann, as the king's estate of the Green province also possessed a similar Scarlet Dragon King.
And the answer was, "Absolutely not!"
This was a war machine that great cultivators of mohism had created after expending tremendous amounts of time, effort, and materials that could be used to forge many arcane treasures. Compared to regular Soaring Dragon ships, it was like the difference between Nascent Soul cultivators and Foundation Establishment cultivators. Its purpose was not to deal with individual cultivators, but to destroy sects.
If the Silver Dragon King launched an attack, the protective formation of the Cloud Sail sect would definitely fall. A single shot from the main cannon of the Dragon's Roar would be enough. Just like how regular Soaring Dragon ships were equipped with a large number of puppet soldiers, the Silver Dragon King was no different. There was probably a "Puppet King" in there, and there might even be more than one.
Coupled with the price of hiring the great cultivators of mohism, even large sects would not be able to afford it, let alone a single cultivator. Only a king's estate that ruled over an entire province possessed the strength, but they could only create a single one.
