Chapter 299 - Secret Trump Card (1/2)
After the black leopard demon gave him his blessing, a few demons returned while chatting and laughing Li Changshou hid in the dark and observed. Then, he realized that the demons were only returning to their own Cave Abodes. The Cave Abode was hidden in the shallow valley.
The few demons had “accidentally” discovered the Cave Abode that the black leopard demon had just opened. They immediately sent their sincere greetings to their neighbors.
They had captured the water demon and hit the black leopard demon. Just as they were about to humiliate the water demon in front of the black leopard, a breeze blew past. The demons rolled their eyes and fell to the ground. Their auras dissipated and their demon cores lost their color.
It was just a Heaven Immortal realm demon that was leading a few demons in the Perfected Immortal realm. Li Changshou’s Golden Immortal paper effigy was very simple…
He used poisonous powder and incapacitating agents to deal with them.
If he could not waste immortal power, he would not waste it. That was the manual for the paper effigy.
Then, Li Changshou appeared outside the Cave Abode on a cloud and chuckled.
The leopard demon dragged the water demon, Miao Miao, out. When it saw Li Changshou, it bent its legs and knelt down.
“Thank you, Senior, for saving me! Senior, you’re really…” “Shut up!” Li Changshou and the demoness shouted almost at the same time.
The black leopard s.h.i.+vered and smiled bitterly.
Li Changshou continued, “Don’t think about congratulating me in your head. I’m unlucky and can’t take it.”
The black leopard did not know whether to laugh or cry. It could only kowtow repeatedly.
“Thank you for saving my life, Senior! Please come in and rest!”
Li Changshou nodded calmly and said earnestly, “Ah Bao, I saved you once. Perhaps I can save you a second time, but I might not be able to save your life a third or fourth time. I’ll leave now. You and your wife can cultivate here in peace. Don’t say anything else… It’s better to be down-to-earth and do everything well, one by one. Let your actions speak louder than words. Do you understand?”
The black leopard fell into deep thought and bowed deeply. “I understand!”
Following that, Li Changshou looked at the water demon Miao Miao with a complicated gaze.
He felt a little puzzled and asked, “I’m a little puzzled. Why did your wife… Could it be that you’re unhappy with your wife!?!”
“Senior, you’ve misunderstood. My wife was being grateful to you…”
Crack!
With a crisp sound, the black leopard’s head flew towards the left. Its body spun in a straight line from its head to its feet 36 times!
The hand, which was as fast as an illusion, maintained the final pause in its slapping motion. Then, it was calmly retracted and replaced by the other hand that was placed on the hem of its owner, the Water Demon Miaomiao’s skirt.
She smiled in embarra.s.sment and whispered, “Senior, you’re quick.”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Ah Bao quickly got up and wiped the corners of his eyes with his swollen right cheek.
“I’ve embarra.s.sed myself in front of you, Senior.”
“Very good.” Li Changshou nodded calmly and said, “I’ll leave now. Ah Bao, just focus on your cultivation.”
“Senior! Senior!”
The black leopard shouted and stopped Li Changshou. Then, it asked nervously, “Senior, can you tell me the truth? Do you like my communication skills? If you like it, I will definitely repay you for saving my life just now…”
Li Changshou shouted, “Wait!”
The Black Panther Spirit quickly shut up and swallowed his words.
“I don’t want you to be loyal to me. You have nothing to do with me.” Li Changshou deliberated over his words. “I’m not plotting anything against you. I also know that your mouth is not effective if you deliberately want it to work.
To be honest, I just find your mystical ability a little strange.
A talent like you is needed for the great prosperity of the demon race.
“You can cultivate here in peace. You will naturally have a place to s.h.i.+ne and prosper after nurturing demons for a thousand years. Take these pills and use them to a.s.sist you and your wife in their cultivation.”
The black leopard demon was touched and bowed to Li Changshou with a Dao salute again.
Li Changshou turned around to leave and flew into the sky on a cloud.
The black leopard demon shouted, “Senior, can you leave your name?”
He heard a voice coming from the clouds.
“I’m a cultivator myself. Don’t ask about the affairs of the world. Just call me Daoist Lu Ya.”
The black leopard demon muttered softly and praised, “Senior Lu Ya is really…
I can’t say, I can’t say. Phew!
Milady, quickly get a memorial tablet and write down the name of this senior. Although I can’t open my mouth to wish or think about it, I can still set up a memorial tablet and offer incense every day.”
“Husband.” The water demon, Miao Miao, walked forward and said softly, “It’s all because of your natural mystical abilities. We have been taken care of by an expert.” “The good days are still… Ahem! Ahem!”
The black leopard shut up in time and said, “I will deal with the corpse first. Madam, go and set up the memorial tablet.”
“Yes.” The water demon, Miao Miao, answered in a low voice. The couple immediately got busy. On the other side, Li Changshou naturally did not go far. When he heard the black leopard’s words, he smiled and squinted…
He had left two paper effigies there to protect and monitor the black leopard demon in the future.
He thought about the matter of the Heavenly Courts killing demons.
The time was not ripe yet.
To put it bluntly, the Heavenly Courts were not considered a high-end combat force. The overall strength of the troops was not even comparable to the overall strength of the demons. How could they defeat the demons?
The deep-sea demons were just a branch of the demon race. Furthermore, they had lost a large number of experts during the battle with the dragon race. It was easy to deal with them.
However, the remnants of the Demon Court at the border of the North Continent and the AparaG.o.dānīya Continent did not lack powerful experts from the older generation. To the current Heavenly Courts, this was a nightmare.
Demon-Slaying was just a plan for the Heavenly Courts to make a name for themselves and earn merit in the future. The black leopard would be considered a strategic-level Dharma treasure.
Later, I will deceive… Ahem, I will nurture this black leopard’s approval of the demon race. I will make the black leopard shut his mouth and meditate. Then, he will sincerely seek refuge from some powerful demon kings.
He will use his toxicity to destroy the demons’ bank!
Li Changshou thought for a while and asked the two paper effigies who were monitoring the black leopard to stay further away from it.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was very careful with such a double-edged sword.
On Little Qiong Peak, while Li Changshou was tracking the black leopard, the place had already quietened down.
Li Changshou was not optimistic about Lingle’s ascension. After all, she lacked experience and hards.h.i.+ps. Most importantly, although she had strengthened her Dao base according to his method, there were still many gaps and flaws.
At most, she could only ascend to the intermediate stage to late-stage of the Perfected Immortal realm.
Originally, Jiu Jiu had prepared all kinds of celebratory programs to celebrate Lingle’s successful ascension. However, because Ling’e was in seclusion, she pushed all of them back.
Youqin Xuanya, on the other hand, felt the pressure. Ling’e began to enter seclusion, and so did she. It seemed that she did not want to fall behind Ling’e.
That day, Li Changshou had just settled the matter regarding the black leopard. He opened the furnace in the Pill Chamber to refine pills and a.n.a.lyze… The word ‘go’. The methods of the Saint were definitely not something that he could imagine.
Actually, he did not need to think about what the Saint wanted him to do.
The Saint had escaped the shackles of the Great Dao. He sat on the sh.o.r.e of the long river of time and looked at the living beings in the Sea of Misery who were constantly hesitating. What they saw was different from what the living beings understood.
At that moment, Li Changshou had no choice but to make that a.s.sumption. As long as he had come into contact with the black leopard at that time, no matter what choice he made, be it plotting against the black leopard, using it, or killing it, it would all lead to the story that the Saint had seen. No matter what kind of guesses or schemes he had in his heart, as long as the Saint did not interfere directly, it meant that he had not deviated from the development path set by the Saint.
In terms of how to become an outstanding Saint’s p.a.w.n and this game… When can I jump out?
There is no need to be a chess player. It would be good to just hide far, far away.
