A hawk's cry rang through the air!
"Banyan Tree King, you're one of the Ten Daemon Kings, yet you dare to destroy the nine cauldrons. Do you know that the laws of the nation are merciless?"
"What a powerful aura!"
Li Qingshan shivered inside and raised his head. A man in black clothes stood with his arms behind his back, standing high up in the air. The atmospheric winds surged with his voice, spreading through the sea of trees for thousands of kilometers. It was like the might of the heavens had descended upon the world.
His appearance was valiant and extraordinary. His long, golden-brown hair draped behind him meticulously, and his hooked nose made him even more stern. However, the thing that stood out the most was his eyes. Outside his dark irises was a faint, golden ring, as if they could see through everything.
"The Hawk God has graced us with his presence. Please forgive me for not going out to welcome you!" The Banyan Tree King replied modestly. His voice was tremendous, echoing through the surroundings. He did not lose any of the limelight at all.
"Sure enough!" Li Qingshan thought, There are not a lot of people in the world who are bold enough to speak to the Banyan Tree King like that. Apart from the legendary Hawk God that protects the kingdom, there is no one else with such bearing and presence.
"It's the bird girl's bird father!" Little Ann communicated.
Li Qingshan burst into laughter. He felt very comforted inside. The little girl's sense of humour had grown after undergoing the tribulation.
In that moment, a pair of hawk eyes pierced through the leaves and landed on him. It was like a blade. There were not a lot of people in the world who were bold enough to laugh when the Hawk God and the Tree God spoke.
"Subordinate Li Qingshan greets sir Hawk God!" Li Qingshan's smile vanished. He recalled his identity as a White Hawk commander and clasped his hands at the horizon, meeting the hawk eyes without any fear at all.
Although he was in charge of the renowned Hawkwolf Guard and maintained the laws of the Great Xia empire, the Hawk God was still a form of respect at the end of the day. He was not a true god. However, he had even seen Demon God Qiongqi, so he obviously did not fear a Daemon King, no matter how holy and powerful this Daemon King was.
"Savage King Li Qingshan."
The Eagle Deity's eyes narrowed, and Li Qingshan felt the pressure on him increase. He thought to himself, In my entire life, if we were to talk about the word 'majesty', this person is definitely number one. This is probably not just because of his temperament, but also the majesty of the laws of Great Xia. As the saying goes, 'Godly might is like a prison'. Perhaps this is the origin of his name, Eagle Deity!
Even though Qiong Qi was far more powerful than the Eagle God, it was only an incarnation, and its aura was astonishingly powerful, but it had nothing to do with majesty. Instead, it was sly and playful.
"Lord Eagle God recognizes me?" Li Qingshan was slightly surprised. Then, he smiled and said, "However, the title of 'King of Savages' is too unpleasant. I have already resigned."
The Hawk God looked at him deeply, as if he didn't want to waste any more time with a "small fry" like him. However, his gaze lingered on Little Ann for a moment, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. After undergoing the third heavenly tribulation, he was basically at the apex of the nine provinces. With his cultivation at such a young age, he could no longer be described as a "genius".
Of course, he never would have imagined that the person who personally destroyed the Mist province cauldron would be this "small fry". This was also the effect that Li Qingshan wanted. No matter how much this "lord Eagle God" liked him anyway, it was impossible for him to take him in as a son-in-law. He was fine as long as he was not viewed as an enemy.
"You've come from afar, so why don't you pay a visit to my Towering City?" asked the Banyan Tree King.
"There's no need. Do you admit to destroying the nine cauldrons?" asked the Hawk God.
"I do," said the Banyan Tree King.
"From today onwards, you will be stripped of your position as one of the Ten Daemon Kings, and you will be placed at the top of the wanted list of the ministry of justice. The Hawkwolf Guard will do everything in their power to capture you. If you put up any resistance, you will be executed on the spot …"
Li Qingshan found this to be more and more strange the more he listened. At this point, why would the Banyan Tree King still care about the position of one of the Ten Daemon Kings, let alone the fact that he was wanted by some bullshit ministry of justice? The Hawkwolf Guard was renowned throughout the world, but capturing or killing him was basically wishful thinking. Was there something wrong with this "protector Hawk God"?
Before he knew it, the supreme masters and tremendous organisations in his heart were no longer as unreachable as before. He could not treat them lightly anymore.
"... All those who make friends with you are the enemies of Great Xia!"
When the Hawk God reached there, he glanced at Li Qingshan again. He had rushed over in a hurry, so he had no idea that the Banyan Tree King had travelled all the way to welcome Li Qingshan, welcoming him into Towering city. He wondered about the relationship between Li Qingshan and the Banyan Tree King.
"Then Great Xia has far too many enemies. Please reconsider, fellow!" The Banyan Tree King smiled.
"What a Banyan Tree King. So much for me treating you as a great senior, you've actually broken the law. My Hawkwolf Guard will never forgive you!" Li Qingshan yelled out furiously as if he had not vented his anger. He stomped on the branch a few more times to draw a clear line between them.
The corner of the Hawk God's eye twitched, and he was immediately unable to continue with what he was about to say. He had seen people seeking death, but never had he seen someone seeking death like this. He thought the same as Li Qingshan earlier. Is there something wrong with this bastard's head?
Little Ann smiled. He was truly an expert at ruining the atmosphere. He could already tell that the Hawk God had come this time purely for a stroll, to express that the Great Xia empire would never tolerate something like this. However, if he wanted to capture or kill the Banyan Tree King, probably even he did not have the ambition to do so.
"Sigh, you've been betrayed so quickly. If that's the case, then please take action!" The Banyan Tree King sighed with a smile.
"Wind, rise!"
The Hawk God spread his arms like a hawk spreading its wings. The atmospheric winds in a range of five hundred kilometers immediately became violent. With another powerful swing, it swept down from the sky, and a few clouds were immediately torn to pieces. If it were a regular forest, it would have been reduced to a barren land immediately. Even the roots buried deep underground would have been torn apart, losing all life.
"It really is impressive!"
Li Qingshan thought. The atmospheric winds and geomagnetism basically drew up the upper and lower boundaries of this world. To be able to control the atmospheric winds so easily, the Hawk God had already reached the peak of the third heavenly tribulation. He was close to ascending. He focused on the scene of the battle between the two Ten Demon Kings in preparation for the Ink Sea Dragon Slaying.
The Banyan Tree King held up a light green canopy. The moment the atmospheric winds entered the canopy, they immediately lost their sharpness and became ordinary gales.
The strong gales stirred up waves in the sea of trees. Thousands of banyan trees swayed, forming a vigorous and impassioned tune.
Li Qingshan stepped on a branch and looked into the distance. The wind and clouds were raging, and the strong auras in the sea of trees were ready to be released. Although the battle between the Hawk God and the Banyan Tree King was magnificent and impressive, it did not feel like a battle to the death. He thought, "Since they're going to go through the motions, I'll go along with them to avoid trouble in the future."
"Lord Eagle God, let me lend you a hand!" Li Qingshan bellowed out and unleashed his great strength as a Golden Core cultivator as well as the superb acting skills he had honed over many years. He launched a barrage of attacks at the Banyan Tree King, personally demonstrating the meaning of "an ant trying to shake a tree".
With his interference, the great show of a battle between rulers came to an end very quickly. However, before the Hawk God took off, he said, "Pass on my orders.
The White Hawk commander of the South Sea commandery, Li Qingshan, deserves praise for his loyalty and his service as a protector. He will be transferred to the Dragon province immediately. No mistakes are allowed! "
