Chapter 760 (1/2)
Li Qingshan berated righteously as the surging demon qi suddenly drew in and consolidated, turning into his Demon Commander form . With the Traitorous Demon sword in hand, the demonic eye stared straight at Huang Siqin without budging at all .
Who the fuck is supposed to be the demonic cultivator here?
All of the White Wolf guards cursed inside . Normally, demonic cultivators was only a generalisation . Those who practised demonic and evil arts were known as demonic cultivators, and those who defied virtue and laws were also known as demonic cultivators . However, whether it was the cultivation method he had just unleashed or how he behaved, Li Qingshan was basically the dictionary definition of the term “demonic cultivator” .
A person like that was actually labelling others as demonic cultivators! None of the people present were good people, but even they felt an urge to curse aloud .
Huang Siqin had basically realised that this bastard never planned on letting anyone have a good time right from the beginning . He had come intentionally to tear down this place .
“Li Qingshan, do you really think you can look down on me just because there are two of you? When I underwent the second heavenly tribulation, you weren’t even born yet!”
Huang Siqin’s voice was still old and hoarse at the beginning, but towards the end, it had already become booming and highly imposing .
Suddenly, his body swelled up as teeth protruded from his mouth . He became covered in white fur, and a tail extended from hind . A while later, he went from being a skinny old man to a half-human, half-ape . His two thick arms pressed against the ground as he stared at Li Qingshan murderously .
He actually had a daemon bloodline!
The races mingled among each other in the Mist province, unlike the Green province that segregated humans and daemons . Procreation occurred between daemons and humans, and even otherfolk and humans, such that many humans were mixed with daemon heritages .

Some people might have had parents or even ancestors as humans, but in the face of danger, they could actually unleash their daemon bloodlines . This was the result of intermarriage between daemons and humans among their ancestors, which allowed the bloodline to be passed down . With each passing generation, the bloodline became more latent . As a result, there was a saying that the south of the Mist province no longer had any pure humans .
The situation in the Clear River prefecture would never happen here, where humans and daemons waged a large-scale war against each other . Perhaps it was better described as the battle having never ceased in the first place, just that it was a battle for survival and a battle of interests instead .
And, not only was possessing a daemon bloodline not a disgrace in the Mist province, but it was even a source of pride instead . Those that could produce offspring with humans would be powerful daemons above Daemon General at the very least . Their bloodline could quickly bestow a mortal with a powerful physique or even some wondrous powers .
Huang Siqin let out a furious roar as his great aura mixed in with daemon qi rushed into the air . The verdant leaves of the canopy began to sway as a result, leading to a loud rustle .
“If the two of you wish to fight, please go elsewhere! Don’t damage the tree city!”
At this moment, a streak of light flew down from the canopy and turned into a middle-aged man in luxurious robes with a long hat . Li Qingshan found his attire rather familiar, making him remember the deceased Marquis of Ruyi, Jiang Fu . Although many details were different, where the patterning and the way he dressed gave off more southern vibes, the overall design was the same .
“Sir, are you perhaps the governor of the South Sea commandery, the Marquis of Serene Sea?” Li Qingshan asked .
This was the uniform that the Great Xia empire allocated to conferred marquises, similar to the uniform of the Hawkwolf Guard . It both demonstrated their identities and expressed their allegiance, but from the alterations to the uniform, he could tell that there was not a lot of allegiance remaining .
“That’s right!” the Marquis of Serene Sea said icily .

Originally, he had been watching on from his estate high in the tree city . He also found delight over the fact that someone could make Huang Siqin suffer . However, he frowned when he heard Li Qingshan’s bold claims . Seeing how disrespectful he was right now, he felt even more displeased .
He was not merely the ruler of the South Sea commandery in name . He also possessed a relative foundation of strength, which allowed him to consolidate his position . Several thousand years ago, when the founding emperor conferred titles to the marquess, he had chosen powerful people who could keep the various regions under their control . Following an unbroken chain of descendants over several thousand years, they had all become powerful aristocratic clans .
As the owner of this territory, how could he let other wild beasts roar in front of him? However, he was not too concerned with Li Qingshan . They called him genius, but he was only a brat getting ahead of himself . It was no wonder that he would be sent here .
In contrast, Xiao An who remained silent to the side caught a little more of his attention . Her beauty was basically unheard of, and her cultivation and talent went even more without saying . If he could take her on as his wife, the prestige of his clan would definitely swell, so he could consider that .
“You don’t have to worry . I’ll be very quick . You can just watch on from the side . ” A smile appeared on Li Qingshan’s curved visor as he waved his hand like he was shooing away a fly .
“You!” The Marquis of Serene Sea blanked out from anger . He already began to suspect whether there was something wrong with Li Qingshan’s head or not .
“Marquis, let’s kill this crazy fool together!” Huang Siqin was tempted to drag the Marquis of Serene Sea into the mix . Although he possessed absolute confidence in his strength, two against one was still troublesome .
“The disagreements between the two of you are a matter of the Hawkwolf Guard . I’m in no position to take a side . Please go elsewhere to fight . No one else is allowed to interfere!”
The Marquis of Serene Sea was nowhere near stupid enough to share Huang Siqin’s blame, but in consideration for their usual relationship, he basically gave him a helping hand . On the surface, he seemed like he was ensuring everything remained fair, saying that no one was allowed to interfere, but he was indirectly blocking Xiao An, making Li Qingshan lose a powerful ally .

Huang Siqin rejoiced inside . All of his efforts to befriend him had not been in vain . It was just a pity that this kid had come so quickly and stirred up trouble so vigorously, preventing him from gathering any helpers in time, or he would definitely frighten Li Qingshan to the point where he pissed his pants .
“Even you, the Marquis of Serene Sea, dares to collude with demonic cultivators? That’s a crime punishable by death!”
Li Qingshan looked back and said in some surprise . Killing intent silently pervaded the surroundings .
