Revenge was a dish best served cold.
A sword cultivator's revenge would never be delayed.
With a flash of light, the Dragon Sparrow that killed the old yellow cultivator flew back from East Sparrow City and entered Lu Qingshan's body.
.....
Countless cultivators and mortals in East Vermilion Bird City were dumbfounded by the sudden explosion of the East Vermilion Bird Weapon Shop. They had no idea what was going on.
All they knew was that something big was going to happen in East Sparrow City today.
The Golden Elixir Daoist of the East Sparrow Tribe's weapon shop had been killed so openly. If the East Sparrow Tribe did not do anything about it, how could they maintain their foothold in the Mogao Desert?
In such a desolate land, once one lost one's prestige and reputation, one would immediately be devoured by the hungry wolves that were eyeing one's prey.
"Where did this thief come from? How dare he be so arrogant!" A few breaths later, a vigorous voice filled with anger rang out from the core of East Vermilion Bird City and spread throughout the entire city.
Then, a red streak of light shot up from the ground.
When the cultivators in the city heard the powerful voice, they began to whisper among themselves.
"Even the East Sparrow Tribe's leader was alerted. That's a Void Refinement cultivator …"
Of the two major factions in the Mogao Desert, the nine tribe leaders of the Nine Tribe Alliance were all early-stage Void Refinement body cultivators.
The leader of the bandits, Old Vulture, was a mid-stage Void Refinement cultivator.
That was why the two factions were able to face each other in the Mogao Desert.
At the same time, the other cultivators of the East Sparrow Tribe in various parts of East Sparrow City were also enraged. They followed the red streak of light that their tribe leader had transformed into and headed straight for Lu Qingshan outside the city.
All of this showed just how furious the East Sparrow Tribe was at what had happened today.
That was the truth. The East Sparrow Tribe had dominated the Mogao Desert for so many years. Even Old Vulture was not arrogant enough to kill their tribe's Golden Elixir Daoist in front of everyone in the city.
The red streak of light landed in front of Lu Qingshan and revealed a figure within.
It was a middle-aged cultivator with a tall figure. Both of his arms had the totem of a five-colored sparrow.
The middle-aged male cultivator looked at the indifferent Lu Qingshan with a fiery gaze.
He was the chief of the East Sparrow Tribe, Dong Sparrow Yan.
In the next instant, before he could even say a single word, Dong Queyan decisively and viciously attacked.
In the Mogao Desert, strength was everything.
As for why Lu Qingshan killed their tribe's cultivators, they would have to exchange blows with him first.
If he couldn't even withstand a single blow, Lu Qingshan wouldn't be able to escape death in Dong Queyan's eyes no matter how good of a reason he had.
The Five-Colored Sparrow Totem imprinted on Dong Quyan's hand started to burn. He waved his hand and his arm instantly expanded by dozens of feet. The Will of Fire surged out from the seed of the Way inside his body.
The Five-Colored Sparrow was a fire-elemental beast. Therefore, the body cultivators of the East Sparrow Tribe who used the Five-Colored Sparrow as their totem usually comprehended fire-elemental intents.
It was the same for Dong Queyan. He had condensed his Dao Seed with the intermediate intent realm, Will of Fire, and advanced to the Void Refinement Realm.
Under the enhancement of the Will of Fire, Dong Queyan's palm directly turned into a huge flaming mountain that enveloped Lu Qingshan.
The huge mountain seemed to have infinite pressure, suffocating people and making their mouths dry up.
Lu Qingshan didn't say much either.
Let's see who's stronger.
A fierce light flashed in his eyes and he released the Dragon Sparrow. At the same time, he retreated to increase the distance between them.
Although Lu Qingshan was confident, he didn't dare to be careless.
In the face of a Void Refinement Realm cultivator whose cultivation base was one whole level higher than his, he could only use the Dao weapon, the Dragon Sparrow, to fight against him.
Rumble!
The sound of a sonic boom exploded in the sky. As soon as the Dragon Sparrow was released, the blade of the sword also started to burn with flames.
The flying sword was like a thunderbolt and a tidal wave, ferociously attacking the huge palm that was coming at him.
When the Dragon Sparrow collided with the palm that had turned into a huge flaming mountain, ripples that could be seen with the naked eye instantly spread out in all directions.
The aftermath of the collision was like a fiery cloud that bloomed in the sky, stunning the people in the city who were watching this scene.
The flying sword was knocked back and the huge flaming mountain also collapsed.
Dong Queyan could feel that when his palm collided with Lu Qingshan's flying sword, there was an infinite power that was transmitted to him from the flying sword.
Even the sharpness that was revealed faintly was going to break his Yang Sui Body that he had cultivated to the great success stage.
"What a powerful intent realm …" Dong Queyan's heart suddenly tightened. With his cultivation base and experience, he naturally understood that the sharpness came from the intent realm. "Also, why does his flying sword seem to be able to ignore my Will of Fire?"
It was also because the flying sword ignored his Will of Fire that he was only able to fight to a draw with Lu Qingshan even though his cultivation base was far higher than his.
Naturally, he did not know that the Dragon Sparrow Sword was immune to all fire.
In the face of the Dragon Sparrow, all fire-type attacks would be ignored.
The Dragon Sparrow only needed to contend with the power of the move itself.
"This sword cultivator is actually able to fight to a draw with the tribe leader?!" When the other East Sparrow Tribe cultivators saw this scene, they were all shocked. "It seems that the tribe leader can't take down this arrogant kid in a short time?"
"Well, well, well!" Looking at Lu Qingshan's calm expression, Dong Queyan was not angry. Instead, he laughed and shouted angrily, "Take this!"
This time, Dong Queyan was going all out and did not show any mercy.
The five-colored sparrow totem on his arms seemed to have awakened and slowly broke free.
After a while.
Dong Queyan waved his hands with intense killing intent. The five-colored sparrow's shadow circled around his palms and covered the sky as it charged toward Lu Qingshan.
Screech!
The high-pitched screech of the five-colored sparrow could be heard in the void. It was extremely ear-piercing.
In the face of this ferocious attack, Lu Qingshan merely chuckled coldly.
"Even a sparrow dares to compete with a Dragon Sparrow?"
A thought flashed through his mind, and the phoenix patterns on his Dragon Sparrow Sword suddenly lit up. The temperature in the air rose drastically at this moment.
The Dragon Sparrow swayed and unleashed a scorching red sword projection to meet Dong Queyan's attack.
As it flew through the air, a loud screech suddenly sounded from the Dragon Sparrow.
It sounded like the cry of a phoenix. It was extremely clear and crisp.
Dragon Sparrow: Cry of the Phoenix.
A phoenix soul projection flew out from the sword projection and let out a clear screech before crashing into the five-colored sparrow's shadow in Dong Queyan's hands.
A phoenix versus a sparrow.
The outcome was clear.
The five-colored sparrow's shadow was instantly obliterated, and all of the flames were also swept away by the phoenix soul projection.
Gasp!
The Dragon Sparrow's power was still undiminished as it stabbed into Dong Queyan's right palm.
In the next instant, Dong Queyan's face twitched slightly.
A drop of blood had already seeped out from his palm. Although it was instantly vaporized by the flames in his hand, he had indeed been wounded by this sword strike.
In their first exchange, the two of them were evenly matched.
In their second exchange, he was at a disadvantage even though he had used his full power?
Dong Queyan was astonished, but he also understood that this meant that Lu Qingshan was already qualified to talk to him.
"Who are you? Why are you making an enemy out of my East Sparrow Tribe?" Dong Queyan's expression gradually became grave as he felt a dull pain in his palm. He finally stopped attacking and asked his first question.
He could actually clearly sense that Lu Qingshan had yet to materialize a dao seed and was only at the Nascent Soul Stage.
However, this Nascent Soul Stage sword cultivator was very strange. Even he found it difficult to underestimate his flying sword.
It was rare to see such a powerful Nascent Soul Stage sword cultivator. Dong Queyan's heart skipped a beat, and he asked again, "Could it be that you're from the Sword Cleansing Pond?"
"I trusted your East Sparrow Tribe, so I purchased the map from your East Sparrow Tool Store.
I didn't expect the cultivators of your East Sparrow Tribe to secretly collude with the bandits and sell my information to them. "
Lu Qingshan didn't answer Dong Queyan's second question. Instead, he said sarcastically, "If I didn't have some skills, I would have been beheaded and buried in the sand. Is this how your East Sparrow Tribe treats its guests?"
"Colluding with the bandits?" Dong Queyan frowned and said in shock, "That's impossible!"
Lu Qingshan looked at Dong Queyan meaningfully.
The bandits had committed crimes in the Mogao Desert and even slaughtered many small local tribes. They had already incurred the wrath of the local cultivators.
Therefore, whether Dong Queyan really didn't know about this or was pretending, he had to act like he knew nothing. Otherwise, he would be condemned by everyone.
Whoosh!
Lu Qingshan didn't care if Dong Queyan was acting or not. He threw a jade slip to Dong Queyan and then channeled his spiritual energy into his voice so that everyone in the city could hear him.
Lu Qingshan then said in a clear voice, "Not long ago, the old Sindhi bandit wanted to kill me. Unfortunately, he wasn't strong enough and was killed by me instead.
This is the jade slip that I found in his storage ring. It records all the dirty dealings between him and your East Sparrow Tribe's Golden Elixir Daoist, Huang Zhong. I don't need to say more about the details. The East Sparrow Tribe Leader will know when he sees it. "
Dong Queyan's expression changed. He quickly took the jade slip and searched it with his divine sense.
After a few breaths, he raised his head and hesitated for a moment. In the end, he cupped his fists at Lu Qingshan and said, "This must be a misunderstanding. Please forgive me, Fellow Daoist.
I'll definitely investigate this properly. If such a ridiculous thing really happened, I'll definitely apologize to you. "
Lu Qingshan looked at Dong Queyan and said with a faint smile, "There's no need for that. I've already accepted the necessary apology. There's no need for the East Sparrow Tribe Leader to add more flowers to the brocade.
However, it's best for the East Sparrow Tribe Leader to restrain your cultivators so that you won't invite trouble to yourself in the future. "
Dong Queyan's expression didn't change much. He smiled and said, "You're right, Fellow Daoist."
Seeing that Dong Queyan was so tactful, Lu Qingshan flicked his sleeves and flew up on his sword, leaving East Sparrow City once again.
.....
"Father, this person humiliated our East Sparrow Tribe. Why did you let him go so easily?" After Lu Qingshan's figure faded, a figure flew from behind and landed beside Dong Queyan. There was anger in his eyes.
This person was Dong Queyan's son, Dong Queyan Xiao.
"Idiot." Dong Queyan scolded his son in a low voice. "Although this person is only a Nascent Soul, the flying sword technique he displayed is extraordinary.
Even if I can defeat him by relying on my cultivation, it will be extremely difficult for me to kill him.
However, if I really kill him, it'll be equivalent to forming a death grudge with him.
Do you think that such a powerful Nascent Soul sword cultivator doesn't have a sect backing him?
When the sect behind him comes knocking on our door, where are we going to put East Sparrow City?
Also, he's so young, but his techniques are already so terrifying. What realm will he reach in ten or twenty years? Isn't it suicide to form a grudge with such a cultivator? "
Although Lu Qingshan didn't answer his second question, in Dong Queyan's heart, Lu Qingshan's inheritance was most likely from the Sword Dao Sect of the Western Region, the Sword Cleansing Pool.
Even if it wasn't, it was definitely from another top-notch sword cultivator sect. It wasn't a sect that their small East Sparrow Tribe could provoke.
Dong Queyan's expression changed when he heard this. His breathing quickened slightly, but he quickly understood. Then, he lowered his head slightly. "I was reckless."
Dong Queyan looked at the departing Lu Qingshan and couldn't help but mutter, "But why would a sword cultivator from a famous sect come to this desolate desert?"
…
At this moment, in East Sparrow City, a few cultivators whose faces were hidden under their headscarves looked at each other. "Big Brother, the Sindhi leader seems to have … been killed by this sword cultivator?"
"Seems like it …" The cultivator who was addressed as Big Brother nodded and said softly.
"Then?!"
"Quickly report this to Lord Vulture and let him make the decision!" The bandit hiding in East Sparrow City was stunned for a moment. Finally, he let out a long sigh in his heart and said so.
He knew that things had gotten out of hand.
Because this Sindhi wasn't a simple bandit leader. He was Old Vulture's descendant.
A few decades ago, Sindhi had come to seek refuge with Old Vulture. Ever since then, Old Vulture had taken him in as a disciple and entrusted him with important tasks.
Old Vulture even seemed to have the intention of letting Sindhi take over the bandits.
One could only imagine how furious Old Vulture would be when the disciple and descendant of their leader died so tragically.
His revenge would definitely be as swift and fierce as lightning.
He could only hope that the leader wouldn't vent his anger on him.
The few cultivators who were hiding their heads and tails discussed for a while. Then, they hurriedly left and disappeared into the darkness.
.....
After leaving East Sparrow City again, Qin Yitian's curious voice suddenly sounded in Lu Qingshan's mind. "Young Master, are you trying to lure someone in?"
"How did you know?" Lu Qingshan asked with a smile.
"Young Master, you could have left after a single strike.
But in the end, you chose to stay outside East Sparrow City and exchanged a few blows with the East Sparrow tribe leader. In front of everyone, you revealed that you killed the Sindhi leader with your own hands.
Given Young Master's style of doing things, you must have a plan, "Qin Yitian said gently.
"You know me best, Yitian," Lu Qingshan joked.
"Young Master …" Qin Yitian was a little embarrassed.
Lu Qingshan's expression turned serious. His voice was filled with killing intent. "I've long understood a principle. It's fine if I don't do anything. But since I've already done it, if I want to be a swordsman, I have to be even more ruthless than these bandits and fiendish cultivators. Eliminating evil … is the most important thing."
The bandits had been hiding in the Mogao Desert for many years. Their methods and informants could be said to be omnipotent.
Even the dragon that crossed the river had to be wary of the local serpent. Under these circumstances, it would be extremely difficult for him to find these bandits and eliminate them completely.
Since it was so difficult to find these bandits, Lu Qingshan might as well do the opposite.
Let these bandits come to him of their own accord!
"Old Vulture is a great cultivator at the middle Void Refining stage. Young Master, do you have the confidence to kill him?" Qin Yitian was a little worried.
Lu Qingshan shook his head.
"What about you, Young Master?" Qin Yitian was surprised but did not panic.
His Young Master was not a fool. Naturally, he would not do something that would bring about his own destruction.
"Although I don't have the confidence to kill him, I have no problem keeping myself alive," Lu Qingshan explained to Qin Yitian. Then, he added, "Besides, if I only fight when I'm sure I'll win, how can I improve my swordsmanship? What kind of swordsman am I?
In addition, a strong enough enemy can also help me improve faster. "
He had long realized that every time his Slaughter Sword Will and Nirvana Piercing Sword Will were triggered in battle.
He vaguely understood that if these two types of sword intents wanted to improve further and reach perfection, it would definitely be hidden in this battle and slaughter.
Qin Yitian did not fully understand Lu Qingshan's persistence and belief.
But it did not matter whether she understood it or not.
This was because only such a young master would make her so fond of him.
Moreover, no matter what, she would stay by his side and fight by his side.
That was enough.
…
Lu Qingshan's eyes flashed with killing intent. He murmured, "Bandits, don't disappoint me …"
