Chapter 432 – Even Deeper Underground (1/2)

Strongboulder and Bloodshadow raised their heads. Tremendous daemon qi was rapidly drawing closer. They both smiled. However, his daemon qi had actually grown so much over the three years.

Ye Liusu’s face lit up. “He’s here.”

The wings of wind were not in the shape of wings right now. Instead, they seemed like two spraying whirlwinds, pushing Li Qingshan ahead swiftly. The cavern rapidly rose and fell.

If he flew at such high speeds underground in the past, he probably would have lost control already and ran into a wall head-first, but now, his mental processes were intricate and meticulous, and his control over daemon qi was almost miraculous. He moved faster and faster instead.

In the blink of an eye, the space ahead of him opened up. Ye Liusu, the night roamers, and the two Daemon Generals, Strongboulder and Bloodshadow, all appeared before him. Their expressions varied.

Li Qingshan narrowed his eyes. He did not slow down at all, running right into them like a swooping bird of prey.

Strongboulder suddenly rose up and threw a punch. It expanded to the size of a pillar and pierced the air like a clap of thunder.

Li Qingshan raised his eyebrows and clenched his fist. Bloodshadow arrived beside him in a flash and struck out viciously with his claws.

The simultaneous attacks from the two powerful Daemon Generals did not fluster Li Qingshan at all. He shifted his gaze and looked at Bloodshadow.

Met with the clear, still eyes, Bloodshadow felt like he had been seen through. Before he could even react, he felt his wrist tighten.

As if Li Qingshan had been anticipating this, he casually grabbed Bloodshadow by the wrist and pulled him forward.

Strongboulder’s colossal punch landed on Bloodshadow with full force, and blood erupted from his mouth. He seemed like he had delivered himself to Li Qingshan to serve as a meat shield.

With a flap of his wings, Li Qingshan did not slow down at all. He brushed past Strongboulder’s huge arm, gripping Strongboulder’s head and flying off.

All of this happened in a single instant. Even Ye Liusu felt rather dazzled. In the blink of an eye, he had easily taken away the two powerful enemies that had forced her into a corner.

A great rumble rang out from underground in the distance.

At this moment, Li Qingshan’s mirror clone that remained in the cavern spoke, “I’ll venture underground to see the Spider Queen right now. Ye Liusu, tell me about the situation over the past three years.”

With Ye Liusu and Ye Liubo in the lead and the other night roamers behind them, they all said, “Greetings, sir!”

Ye Liusu began to tell him about everything that had occurred during the three years, as well as the trade with the humans.

Li Qingshan listened quietly. He smiled. “You’re pretty capable, aren’t you?”

“It’s all because of the inspiration master’s given me,” Ye Liusu said. It was exactly because Li Qingshan had begun the trade between human and underground resources that she did this.

“Have the clans been offering up spiritual herbs on time?” Li Qingshan was not particularly fazed by Ye Liusu’s actions. Who didn’t want to live a better life? Apart from spiritual herbs, he was unable to directly convert other resources into his cultivation right now. If he sold them above ground, it would easily attract suspicion, which was not worth what the resources could be exchanged for.

Seeing how Li Qingshan did not choose to pursue the matter, Ye Liusu let out a sigh of relief inside. She immediately offered up a hundred treasures pouch. Li Qingshan opened it and took a look. His eyes lit up, and he smiled. Ru Xin’s got plenty to do now.

Deeper underground, Strongboulder was trapped in Li Qingshan’s grip as he threw a punch at Bloodshadow furiously.

“Piss off! This is my battle!”

With a plop, Bloodshadow was forcefully smashed to pieces, turning into droplets of blood. It twisted in the air and turned into a whip of blood, lashing at Strongboulder viciously. Fragments of rock scattered as a deep, white mark was left behind.

It made Strongboulder even more furious. He turned around and charged towards this rival of his. Li Qingshan simply let go of them, continuing to fly towards Cobweb city. Bloodshadow and Strongboulder exchanged glances before lunging at Li Qingshan together.

The three daemons basically constantly ventured deeper in their entanglement. The collisions of the three powerful groups of daemon qi shook up the underground world.

Spider Queen Lolth emerged from Cobweb city and arrived on the high terrace, gazing out with the frown.

Li Qingshan shook his arms, and the Spirit Turtle’s Profound Shell suddenly expanded, pushing aside Bloodshadow and Strongboulder. With a flap of his wings, he landed on the high terrace, arriving before the Spider Queen. “Ma’am, I’ve returned.”

Strongboulder and Bloodshadow arrived right behind him. Before the Spider Queen, they were afraid to act up.

Spider Queen Lolth studied Li Qingshan first. “Your daeon qi really has grown by quite a lot. If I hadn’t sent Strongboulder and Bloodshadow, did you plan on remaining in seclusion?”

“Of course not.”

The Spider Queen said coldly, “Do you know what the night roamers under your command have done in the past few years?”

Bloodshadow said, “That’s colluding with the enemy. Ma’am, please punish these night roamers and relinquish the authority to rule over the night roamers from Li Qingshan.”
