Chapter 526 – Ten Millennia is Too Shor (1/2)

Li Qingshan and Han Qiongzhi told each other everything they wanted to say and agreed on a time to meet again. Only then did Li Qingshan leave the room reluctantly. A smile remained on his face.

At the same time, Wen Zhengming left the Hawkwolf Guard, taking off into the air.

A cloud hovered in the sky above Clear River city. If someone were bored enough to stare at it for a long time, they would discover it was different from regular clouds. It did not drift with the wind.

Wen Zhengming passed through the cloud. A huge Soaring Dragon ship was docked in the cloud.

Shuffling about on the deck were all confucian disciples in the robes of scholars. Just the Foundation Establishment cultivators among them amounted to over a dozen, yet none of them engaged in any idle chit chat.

All of their gazes were focused on the three men dressed as confucian scholars on the nose of the ship, standing in the wind. When they saw Wen Zhengming arrive, a talented scholar in white clothes called out loudly, “Junior brother Wen, how was the investigation?”

“Don’t worry, senior brothers. I already have a plan in mind. This time, we can settle both the commandery governor’s task and Shancheng’s revenge.”

“Golden Cicada? I think I’ve heard it somewhere. It sounds rather familiar.”

Ru Xin fiddled with her hair and sank into her thoughts, but no matter how serious her expression was, she always seemed like she was joking around slightly.

She currently stood before a medicine cabinet. The tall cabinet behind her and the drawers of various sizes were completely soaked in a heavy medicinal fragrance, forming a bitter and refreshing smell.

As she thought, she controlled a medicinal pot, carefully brewing something. She would wave her hand from time to time and a drawer would open with a few medicinal items flying out.

Li Qingshan stared at her dazed expression and also became slightly dazed.

Ru Xin returned to her senses. As if she had just noticed Li Qingshan, she said, “What brought you here?”

Li Qingshan shot a vicious glance at her. “I- Hurry up and think!”

Ru Xin smiled. “If I’ve guessed correctly, you’re asking about a daemon, right?”

“Possibly.”

“That’s roughly a yes then. I didn’t think, I didn’t think…”

“Hurry up and tell me!”

Ru Xin laid out her hand and curled her finger. Only after offering up a sum of spiritual stones as the fee for the information did she smile. “Have you heard about the Seventy-two Daemon Kings before?”

At the same time, in the underground of endless darkness, eight eyes flickered with light, radiating with a heavy and dangerous aura.

A black figure drew closer unscrupulously, even richer in colour than the darkness.

“Mo Yu, why have you come?” Lolth’s voice rang out in the darkness.

“I don’t need it!”

Lolth was rather surprised. As the most trusted Daemon Commander under the Dragon King of Ink Sea, Mo Yu’s relationship with the Dragon King of Ink Sea was like one of disciple and master, son and father. He was equivalent to the “prince” of the daemons across the entire Green province. His cultivation had already reached the peak of Daemon Commander. Even facing three or five regular Golden Core cultivators alone was no issue for him.

However, it was exactly because of his esteemed status and great strength that he barely showed himself to others anymore. Most of the time, he remained in Ink sea, cultivating arduously. He would never intervene unless it truly reached a point when it mattered. The Dragon King of Ink Sea was not lacking any subordinates either, so sending him over was rather strange.

“You have a daemon called Northmoon as a subordinate. He seems to be very impressive. Tell him to come see me.”

“Sir, are you the envoy of the dragon king?”

Li Qingshan studied Mo Yu. His appearance was nothing unusual, just deathly pale. He was draped in pitch-black feathers, which seemed like the rich, dark, night, radiating with a heavy feeling of ill omen. The ominous feeling was so heavy that even the spirit turtle would respond, warning Li Qingshan to keep his distance.

However, the powerful aura he gave off was enough for Li Qingshan to confirm he was a powerful support.

“You were the one who killed Dragonsnail,” Mo Yu said emotionlessly. He was clearly asking a question, but his voice was completely flat. He sounded like he was reading an obituary.

“Yes!”

Li Qingshan frowned. He scanned past Mo Yu and glanced at Lolth in the cavern. That was a terrifying spider that could make a person jerk awake from a nightmare before frightening them to death again.

“How dare you break the rule that forbids daemons from killing one another.”

“He wanted to kill me. I can’t just sit by and let him do so!”

“If it weren’t for the king’s orders, I would kill you right now.” He spoke with the same flat, stiff tone as if he was stating a fact. He radiated with a great confidence of, “If I want to kill you, then that’s your fate.”

Before an existence who stood at the peak of Daemon Commander, a Daemon General, even a rising star among the Daemon race who possessed great talent, was absolutely nothing.

“You’re welcome to try it!” Li Qingshan laughed instead of losing his temper.

“You want me to try it.” Apart from the moment at the beginning when their eyes met, Mo Yu never looked at Li Qingshan again. Now, he turned around, and his dark, hollow eyes stared straight at Li Qingshan.
