Giant Ship island had basically vanished, covered in thick ice. Only the three icebergs of Cloud Mast mountain remained, and the landscape of the past could still be vaguely made out.
Half of Main-mast mountain had been forcefully swallowed by the Heart of the Abyss. The towering mountain turned into a curved valley of ice. The surroundings were filled with icebergs that rose and fell, pointing towards the Heart of the Abyss in the air like thousands of eager hands.
At the bottom of the valley, there was a crack, and the tough ice cracked open. A group of people emerged, still shaken. There were both cultivators and merpeople. As it turned out, there was also a structure similar to Savage mountain's hall in the centre of Main-mast mountain. It was a dwelling that Ji Changfeng specially used for secluded cultivation. It was also known as the place with the greatest defence in the Cloud Sail sect.
When the giant god of fire appeared, Ji Changfeng knew that this battle was no longer something these people could interfere with. As a result, he ordered the elders of the sect to hide here with everyone.
They worked together to maintain the remaining formations of the Cloud Sail sect to fend off the effects of the shockwaves from the battle outside. There were several times when they thought they were dead for sure.
Whether it was the giant god of fire smashing through Cloud Mast mountain, the magma gushing up from below, or the inky-blue force field of the Heart of the Abyss constantly expanding, they were all enough to claim their lives. If the fire devourers won in the end, dealing with them who had managed to escape would just be a piece of cake.
In this terrifying, hopeless situation they had never been in before, they were in the same boat. Coupled with their rather good luck, they actually managed to last until the battle ended. Only then did they emerge from the dwelling.
"Is it over?" "That's fantastic! The fire devourers have been defeated!" "Your majesty, are you fine?"
The group of people were filled with joy and sorrow from surviving a disaster. Before they could even celebrate the end of the nightmare, their various expressions stiffened.
The Silver Dragon King had returned, bursting through the thick clouds and arriving above Giant Ship island once more. He shone with cold, silver light, assuming an offensive stance. The pressure he gave off made the giant god of fire even more terrifying.
They had awakened from the nightmare, and it was a new nightmare, one that was even more terrifying!
The Silver Dragon King shot out a beam of light, forming a huge projection. A young man with delicate features appeared in there with a faint smile on his face.
"The King of Southern Yue!" Ji Changfeng was shocked, and his voice contained a trace of irrepressible anger. How could he not know that there was a conspiracy from the King of Yue's Estate behind all of this? Furthermore, the attack that allowed his three enemies to escape had gone from the shadows to the light, completely sowing hatred.
"King of Southern Yue, have you made up your mind to stand with the fire devourers and fight to the death against my race?"
Gongyuan's voice was as cold as ice. Disregarding her wounds, she activated the Heart of Abyss again, and the pitch-black sphere suddenly expanded, confronting the Silver Dragon King in the sky.
The King of Southern Yue said, "They're honoured guests of the King of Southern Yue's estate, so I obviously can't just stand by and watch them die. However, I'm not a babysitter either. Regardless of whether they succeed or fail, they have to bear the consequences themselves. Don't you think so?"
Ji Changfeng and Gongyuan both let out a sigh of relief. The King of Southern Yue was clearly saying, "Feel free to seek revenge on Fire Melt mountain. I won't interfere!"
Right now, Ji Changfeng's greatest enemy was still Fire Melt mountain, not the King of Southern Yue's estate. He basically had no chance of succeeding in his revenge, so all he could do was direct his hatred towards the King of Southern Yue's estate and slaughter everyone related to them. However, the King of Southern Yue clearly would not be so kind as to help Fire Melt mountain attract hatred.
Gongyuan was even more worried than Ji Changfeng that the King of Southern Yue would completely stand with Fire Melt mountain. If that happened, the Merfolk of the South sea would definitely suffer heavy losses. Anyone could tell that this was a scheme, but it was still better than no scheme at all.
At the same time, it also expressed that they were temporarily safe.
However, Gongyuan was rather perplexed. Since he had no intention of attacking, why had he come? Did the King of Southern Yue really need to be so careful just to explain a little?
She asked, "If that's the case, why have you returned, King of Southern Yue?"
"The people I'm looking for aren't you!" The King of Southern Yue shifted his gaze, passing through the pitch-black sphere and landing on Li Qingshan. "Li Qingshan, should I kill you?"
It was Li Qingshan again!
Everyone's gazes gathered on the pitch-black sphere. They were all surprised, but their strength was limited, so they were unable to tell what was going on inside.
"You can't kill me!" Li Qingshan's voice rang out from the black sphere. It was calm and filled with great confidence.
A kid who had not even undergone the third heavenly tribulation was actually saying the King of Southern Yue could not kill him. Normally, everyone would definitely treat this as a great joke, but now, they had all become numb from his fearless deeds of challenging the powerful.
"Really?" The King of Southern Yue raised an eyebrow slightly, perhaps in surprise or disdain.
"Really!" Li Qingshan said. Although he had already lost the opportunity to undergo Nirvanic Rebirth, he definitely could not be killed so easily with his current speed.
"But now that you've said that, I want to try it even more!" The King of Southern Yue was not someone who feared provocation. "But before that, you should know that there's someone else beside me. According to what I know, you've already known each other for many years. You've probably come to the Mist province partly for her sake!"
"You want to use her to threaten me?" Li Qingshan's face changed. This was what he worried about the most. And, the King of Southern Yue had guessed wrong. In the very beginning, most of the reason why he had come to the Mist province was because of Ru Xin.
"Looks like it's different from what you said. He still cares about you very much." The King of Southern Yue turned around and said to Ru Xin beside him with a smile.
Ru Xin said nothing. She did not say anything along the lines of "don't worry about me". Why would this man who loved to do whatever he wanted to do listen to her? However, she also believed that he was not the type of person who would hesitate and allow others to threaten him.
Then, the King of Southern Yue turned around and asked, "What do you think? Can I use her to threaten you?"
"Don't you find something as despicable as the mighty King of Southern Yue to do something like that?" Li Qingshan asked.
The King of Southern Yue considered it. "It's alright! If I can make you work for me and turn an enemy into a friend, then that's nothing. Li Qingshan, I admire you very much. Become my honoured guest! What you obtained in the Green province, I'll give you ten times, a hundred times more in the Mist province! "
"Give her back to me, and we'll mind our own business."
"There might still be room for negotiation with other people, but between us, we're either friends or enemies!"
"I don't want to become enemies for no reason because I'm willing for no reason, but I'm not afraid of becoming enemies either. It's not like there's anything to worry about when there's enough lice. I'll definitely get revenge!"
"In other words, you're determined to become enemies with me?" The King of Southern Yue squinted his eyes slightly. Li Qingshan's toughness had exceeded his imagination, but it was also within reason.
"Whether I'm an enemy or a friend is up to you, King of Yue! However, I, Li Qingshan, will never submit to others, sell my life for others, or be threatened by others! "
Li Qingshan took out a handful of calculation rods, black and white, and held them horizontally in his hands!
