Chapter 673 – Gazing into the Distance (1/2)
Only after casting down the Minor Formation of Five Elements Inversion and obscuring the heavenly secrets did Li Qingshan stop worrying. Afterwards, he entered the Asura Field, and the same lush rainforest and towering tree appeared before him.
“Master.” Night roamers were currently busying about in the rainforest. When they saw Li Qingshan, they all bowed and greeted him.
A shadow drifted over, and Ye Mingzhu appeared before him. She was dressed in the traditional, black armour of night roamers, which was unable to hide her mature and charming body. However, her existence was as flimsy and blurry as a silhouette, giving off a dark and obscured aura. It was as if she could merge away into the darkness at any time.
“Congratulations.” Li Qingshan smiled.
There were even more night roamers and daemons in the depths of the dense jungle. Ye Liusu and Ye Liubo sensed his aura and rushed over. Milliped climbed on a big tree, while Li’l Red and Li’l Blue soaked in a pond within the trees.
When the spirit turtle warned of the impending doom, Li Qingshan gathered all of the night roamers and moved them into the Asura Field. Afterwards, he left behind his clone. Meanwhile, his true body returned underground, moving as many of the night roamers and daemons he came across into the Asura Field as possible before the Beast King arrived.
With the Asura Field that stretched several hundred meters across, holding them was obviously not an issue. The only problem was the influence from the murderous will of the Asura realm. Regular night roamers and daemons could not resist it, making it very easy for them to enter a frenzy.
Even Li Qingshan, the master of the Asura Field, was unable to eliminate this influence, or the Asura Field would no longer be an Asura Field. However, there was a safe region, which was the land the Great Banyan Tree King’s canopy enveloped. Under the Great Banyan Tree King’s powers, even the powers of the Asura realm could not invade the place. The canopy that resembled a green cloud was large enough too.
All of the night roamers and daemons gathered beneath the tree, but they were afraid of getting too close to the tree trunk. Some rash daemons had already experienced the power of the sun vines.
“It’s all thanks to master’s gift!” Ye Mingzhu said politely.
His strength was well beyond her expectations. He was not an opponent who could be defeated through assassination. Coupled with the fact that he had no actual interest in ruling the night roamers and that Ye Liusu was in power, she was technically in control as her mother, so there was no need to take this risk.
Ye Liusu said, “Master, I want to leave everything regarding the night roamers up to my mother and focus on cultivation for some time.”
“Alright. I’ve always said that you don’t need to spend too much time and energy on these miscellaneous matters. It also makes perfect sense for the strongest to rule. Ye Mingzhu, you can continue with your position as matriarch from today onwards and rule over the Night Roaming folk!”
“Thank you, master.” Ye Mingzhu was overjoyed inside. Her desire for power had already become embedded in her bones.
“How do you feel about this place?” Li Qingshan asked.
“It’s very good. According to the records, night roamers lived in forests like this before we ventured underground!”
Li Qingshan raised his head. The thick jungle that did not see the light of day seemed even darker under the shade of the banyan tree’s canopy, like night. It really did seem very suitable for night roamers to live in. As a result, he asked the Great Banyan Tree King from afar.
“Fellow, are there night roamers in the Mist province too?”
“There are a lot of them, and most of them live under my shade.”
The Great Banyan Tree King’s ancient voice left the night roamers astounded. They had already been left speechless when they saw such a large tree. They never thought the tree would actually be a conscious daemon. Even Ye Mingzhu widened her eyes.
Li Qingshan said, “This is one of the Ten Daemon Kings, the Great Banyan Tree King. Of course, this is merely one of his clones.”
“The Great Banyan Tree King!”
Who didn’t know about the renowned Ten Daemon Kings? In Ye Mingzhu’s eyes, the Dragon King of Ink Sea had always been a figure of legend. She never thought she would see a Daemon King in person today, which filled her with some reverence.
