Li Qingshan exhaled and flew back to the volcano. After some treatment, he had basically made a full recovery on the surface, but his depleted vital energies could not be recovered in a short amount of time. He needed some time to recover.
Seeing how Gongyuan and the others were all in thought, he could not help but smile. "Why's the atmosphere so heavy? We've won this battle! Fellow Ji has been avenged, pavilion master Ye has fulfilled his promise, and the divine nun has demonstrated the arts of vinaya. As for your majesty, there's no need to even mention it. The South sea will no longer be at war, so why don't we laugh heartily and celebrate? Otherwise, if other people see it, they'll think we've lost. "
"You're right, fellow!" Ji Changfeng sucked in a deep breath and laughed aloud. With his revenge, he felt like another shackle had been removed from him. His mind became even more free, and he could go anywhere he wanted in the world.
"That's right!" Ye Duanhai was still a man of few words, but he did smile for once. The battle had been dangerous, but it was not a bad thing for him. The path of sword cultivators was also a path of slaughter. If he did not fight powerful enemies and experience danger, how could he sharpen his sword? As a result, he made up his mind. He could not avoid the conflicts of the world. All he could do was throw himself into it and slaughter his way out.
"You're the most heartless one, only caring about the happiness before you!" Gongyuan scolded gently. Her voice was no longer as cold as usual. Instead, it was as gentle as water.
The two Merfolk Kings on the side looked at one another. They were slightly surprised and seemed to understand something. Normally, it would be perfectly normal for dual cultivation partners who were so compatible to become partners, but was that really possible between them?
"If I can't enjoy the happiness before me, when can I? You're just too thoughtful and think too much. "Li Qingshan yawned and stretched, gazing at the vast sky. The world was vast.
"Perhaps!" Gongyuan played with her hair and did not comment.
"Amitabha. These fire devourers are fond of burning and killing. They're violent by nature, so they deserve retribution. Though, King of Savages, there's something I don't know if I should say. "
After witnessing Li Qingshan's abilities, the Divine Nun of the South Sea no longer treated him as a junior. She treated him with the same level of respect. However, many of the things he had demonstrated in this battle made her secretly frown. She felt like this was not something a buddhist should do.
"Not really … Haha, I'm just joking. What do you want to teach me? Just say it, but I don't understand Buddhist scriptures," Li Qingshan said matter-of-factly.
The Divine Nun of the South Sea was taken aback. She shook her head with a bitter smile. "Whatever, whatever."
"That's good too." Li Qingshan nodded.
After exchanging a few more words and deciding on a date to celebrate in the Crystal Palace, the group bid farewell and went back to recuperate.
Before parting, Gongyuan glanced back and said to Li Qingshan, "Don't forget what you said."
"What is it?" Li Qingshan shrugged innocently.
"Hmph!" Gongyuan shot a glance at him and left.
Li Qingshan rubbed his chin. This queen was not without her adorable aspects, but it was impossible for him to remain in the South sea. As a result, he might as well just go back on his word and avoid any further trouble.
Suddenly, he felt a gaze on him. Turning around, he saw that Little Ann had already bid farewell to the Divine Nun of the South Sea. Her clear eyes were currently looking at him silently.
"You sure had it easy this time. You just watched from the sidelines." Li Qingshan rubbed her head with a smile.
"It wasn't easy at all. I was very worried about you."
"I know." Li Qingshan's heart warmed up. He pulled her into his arms. "It's been hard on you too!"
"My king!"
The Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber, the Marquis of Serene Sea, and Ghost Shadow, the three remaining cave masters of Savage mountain, came over to pay their respects. All of them seemed to be in extremely horrible shape, clearly quite injured. In particular, the Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber had gone from a mountain of flesh to a pile of bones again.
"It's been hard on you in this battle. I'm a man of my word, Little Ann." Li Qingshan cut right to the chase. Little Ann took out the Blood Oath Scroll and erased the last three Blood Shadow Children. The bloody words gradually faded away too, returning to a blank state.
"Thank you, my king!" The three of them eased up inside. Originally, they were still worried that Li Qingshan would go back on his word, but they finally stopped worrying now.
"Heh, there's no need to thank me. You were captured by me in the first place and forced to fight for your lives. Now that you've been released, it's not exactly a debt of gratitude. It makes sense for you to resent me," said Li Qingshan.
"We would never dare!" The three of them said in a hurry. After witnessing this battle, their reverence towards Li Qingshan had reached the limit. Even the most arrogant Marquis of Serene Sea was careful.
"It doesn't matter whether you dare or not. You can go!" Li Qingshan waved his hand. Originally, he wanted to warn them not to speak carelessly and divulge his secret, but upon further thought, he found it unnecessary.
"I've always been the cave master of Savage mountain. I have nowhere else to go, so I'm willing to continue serving my king and strengthen the foundation of our Savage mountain so that my king can truly become the lord of the south," said the Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber.
Now that the Myriad Poison Ancestor was dead, the South Sea Sword pavilion would no longer interfere so easily. Was there still anyone in the south who was the King of Savages' opponent? If he issued an order in the name of Savage mountain, which cultivator would be bold enough to disobey? He had gone from second cave master to first cave master, and he was even the only first cave master. That was basically authority in his grasp.
"Me too!" The Marquis of Serene Sea said in a hurry. He cursed inside, Damn fatty, he's just too good at sucking up to others. He's shameless!
As the nominal governor of the South Sea commandery, he had never been able to truly control the South Sea commandery, let alone the even larger south. Now that he had the opportunity, how could he let it go? It would be easy for him to return to the marquis' estate now, but he would probably be restrained by Savage mountain everywhere in the future, so he was better off remaining a cave master. As long as he surpassed that damn fatty, his status would immediately change.
The Gentleman of Heavenly Blubber and the Marquis of Serene Sea's gazes met for a split second. Sparks flew.
"My king, I don't want to return to the Shadow palace either," said Ghost Shadow. He did not have much desire for power, but he really did not want to return to that nightmarish place and be raised as a stud horse.
"That's not up to you." A distant voice suddenly rang out.
Li Qingshan suddenly looked back, only to see that the Shadow Queen had appeared before he knew it. She currently sat on a towering rock with a veil covering her face, only revealing a pair of eyes. She glanced at Li Qingshan. Even though she was right in front of him, she seemed hazy and fleeting. The clear sky had become gloomy too.
Li Qingshan's eyes focused on the item in her hand and became slightly surprised. They were the Fire Tablets of Heaven and Earth that Zhu Fen had taken away. He could not help but ask, "Zhu Fen?"
"He's already dead," Ye Weiyang gave a simple reply.
Li Qingshan did not ask any more questions. The strongest Fire Devouring King was like a lion, but he had been poisoned and his mind was in a mess. He had caught the attention of the king of assassins of the Mist province, so an outcome like this was nothing out of the ordinary. Her appearance here obviously was not a coincidence. It was probably part of the Banyan Tree King's arrangements, creating a perfect conclusion to this great game of chess.
"Pay up!" Ye Weiyang extended her hand.
"Sigh, what's the deal?"
"Every time I do something, it's very expensive."
"Can I pay with my body?"
