Chapter 495 – Ye Liusu’s Choice (2/2)

Only then did the other night roamers return to their senses before all becoming stunned. Like Ye Laixiang, they became filled with disbelief.

Underground, everyone knew about Ye Laixiang’s strength. Even among the six matriarchs, she ranked towards the top, or as humans divided the cultivation realms, she was at late Foundation Establishment. This was also what gave her the confidence to challenge Li Qingshan.

But now, Li Qingshan had subdued Ye Laixiang without any room for resistance. No one had grasped his movements. A heavy, cold feeling filled all of their hearts. If his target had been them, or anyone else present, no one would have been able to escape! If he wanted to carry out a massacre, who could stop him?

In this region, probably only the Spider Queen can move with the same speed. She’s probably done for! Ye Mingzhu thought to herself.

“Mighty be master!” Ye Liubo cheered and threw herself into Li Qingshan’s arms before crying out, “Be careful, master!”

A curved shadow swept past, slicing towards Li Qingshan’s throat. It was the dagger that was curved like a snake in Ye Laixiang’s hand. The weapon glistened with a dark sheen, clearly coated in poison. Her strike was well-hidden and vicious, truly an assassin’s attack. At the same time, her figure gradually faded away as if she had turned into a shadow. She escaped from Li Qingshan’s hand.

However, the struggle was destined to be futile. The dagger fell powerlessly half way along its trajectory, while Ye Laixiang returned to normal, her face filled with shock. The power of tremors filled her surroundings, resulting in a series of bone-shattering crick-cracks. Li Qingshan tossed her onto the ground, and she immediately crumbled and became completely incapacitated.

“Master, we better go!” Ye Liusu arrived beside Li Qingshan and advised softly. She was already prepared to flee with him. Perhaps this fate was not so bad.

“Go? Go where?” Li Qingshan wrapped his hand around Ye Liusu’s waist. The tenderness in his gaze made her somewhat glad about her choice for some reason. She also seemed to understand something, casting a questioning gaze back at him.

Li Qingshan announced loudly, “I’ve already defeated the Spider Queen. From today onwards, I am the only ruler of the night roamers!”

This announcement was even more shocking than the great strength he had demonstrated prior. It echoed through the cavern, silencing the surroundings.

“That’s impossible! How could the likes of you defeat ma’am Spider Queen ?” Ye Laixiang shrieked.

She had spoken the minds of all the night roamers. To them, the Spider Queen was like a god—undefeatable and undefiable. Even Ye Liusu and Ye Liubo became stunned, staring at Li Qingshan like they no longer knew who he was.

Li Qingshan turned his head and listened carefully before smiling. “Seems like no one is refuting that!” Then he became serious. “Looks like I’m not the traitor, but you are!”

Before Ye Laixiang could say anything, he whistled with his fingers, and a stream of air turned and twisted, piercing her head and leaving behind a clear hole. Afterwards, he conveniently stowed her corpse away in his hundred treasures pouch.

Everyone gasped. A matriarch had been crushed like an insect.

Li Qingshan only had a foot planted in the Daemon Commander realm, but killing an opponent like that had already become extremely easy. The difference between major realms of cultivation had always been greater than the difference between people and insects. People might not necessarily be able to catch insects, but as long as an opponent like Ye Laixiang was within Li Qingshan’s range of vision, they were basically dead already.

At this moment, daemon qi appeared from underground, reaching the top of Cobweb city. Everyone was familiar with this daemon qi. The Spider Queen had returned!

But aside from that, she did not do anything else. She completely ignored what was going on in front of the city as if she was indirectly confirming Li Qingshan’s words.

“Do you still have any objections?”

“Our Spider Shadow clan is willing to serve sir Northmoon as our master. We are your servants. We will follow wherever you go, and your wish is our command.” Ye Mingzhu finally responded, stepping forward and bowing solemnly.

He had even managed to defeat ma’am Spider Queen. What kind of strength was that? Had he become a Daemon Commander already?

Although she had obeyed Li Qingshan in the past, she had never accepted that she was his servant. At most, she was a subordinate and he was her superior. But now, she led the entire clan to swear fealty to him, becoming his servants willingly.

The four other matriarchs followed close behind. None of them had even the slightest shred of discontent anymore, yielding to absolute power. The other night roamers were thrown into an uproar too, performing the most solemn bow to him. Even the Bat Shadow clan that had just lost their matriarch was no different.

However, Li Qingshan said, “You’re wrong.”

Ye Mingzhu asked, “Please enlighten me, sir. Where have I gone wrong?”

Li Qingshan said, “From today onwards, clans no longer exist among the night roamers. I am your only master. Ye Liusu, listen up!”

Although he spoke seriously, he had no intentions of letting Ye Liusu go. All she could do was reply in his arms, “Yes.”
