Chapter 88: Not Afraid of Trouble
The remaining demons who were stabbed by Li Yuanqing’s Demon Slayer Swords fell to the ground one by one, their faces dejected and cold. If more than a hundred of them couldn’t defeat him, they might as well kill themselves.
Forget it, forget it. They probably had no hope of fighting the Great Demon King in this lifetime. They only hoped to stay as far away from the Great Demon King as possible. Even if they returned to the catacombs, it would be a good thing for them.
In the end, these demons lined up obediently. They were covered in wounds, and their hearts were filled with endless grievance and fear for Li Yuanqing.
After Li Yuanqing used the Demon Sealing Sword Formation to reseal the exit of Catacomb No. 1, he set up the Heavenly Demon Slayer Formation outside.
After settling these, he sat down again to cultivate.
Three days later, when Li Yuanqing stood up again, he was already at the seventh-grade Grotto-Heaven Realm.
Over the past few months, using these hundred demons as whetstones as sparring partners had already greatly increased his cultivation.
Advancing again was just a matter of time.
When Li Yuanqing left the cave, he took a walk around the area. At this moment, there were no more Wings Clan in the Northern Kingdom. There were fewer and fewer Li clansmen, including the Qiang Clan. In any case, they were all citizens of the Northern Kingdom and had all entered the free Martial Arts Academy.
Qin Feng was guarding the border of the Yufu Kingdom. When Qin Feng was a general in the Wilderness encampment in the past, he had done very well. Everything was in order now that he was here to guard the border. He was a rare talent.
No one here knew Li Yuanqing. As he walked on the street where the Wings Clan used to live, he saw a group of students from the Martial Arts Academy walking over happily with a vicious beast.
Those students were all young and already had a b.l.o.o.d.y aura on them. They should have seen blood before.
This reminded Li Yuanqing of the Martial Arts Academy students he had met at the edge of the Wilderness. It seemed that the lesson that time was not bad. These students were changing.
The desolate place that had once been affected by the war of the Wings Clan had slowly recovered its prosperity and vitality.
As the recovery of spiritual energy slowly approached, even the border of the Northern Kingdom was filled with lush vegetation. Even if it was just a tree, it was abnormally energetic and was hundreds of meters tall.
This was something that Li Yuanqing had never seen before.
“Selling vicious beasts, selling pets!”
“There are high-grade natural treasures! Come and take a look!”
“Eat one of my White Pulp Fruits. I guarantee that you will be able to step into the realm of a martial artist in one step. You will be able to cultivate immediately and live to a hundred years old…”
The streets were bustling with activity. Someone was hawking all kinds of goods. Li Yuanqing casually glanced at them after he heard these voices. As the spiritual energy in the air became richer and richer, plants and animals were mutating. Even humans were changing.
In the past, there were not many martial artists who could cultivate. It was difficult for even one in a thousand ordinary people to cultivate. But now, one in ten people could cultivate. The remaining nine who could not cultivate could easily live to a hundred years old.
It could be said that the second rain of blood was quietly changing this world. Li Yuanqing calculated in his heart.
The third rain of blood should be coming soon.
The Northern Kingdom was not harmed by the demons of the catacombs. In addition, Great Empress Zhaoyang was wise. The lives of the commoners seemed to be better after the spiritual energy recovered.
Li Yuanqing left the border in a good mood and returned to the small valley in the Wilderness. He was already at the seventh-grade Grotto-Heaven Realm.
If nothing major happened in the Northern Kingdom, he would have to continue signing in to cultivate and strive to enter the ninth-grade Grotto-Heaven Realm as soon as possible. He would even use the next blood rain to enter the next realm of the Martial Saint, the Spirit Transformation Realm.
In the following days, Li Yuanqing continued to sign in and cultivate. When w.a.n.g Shun saw him return, he sent him food every three to five days like before.
However, this peace did not last long. This peace was broken again with Great Empress Zhaoyang’s sudden visit.
When Zhaoyang came, she rode the White Dragon. It would be even easier for Zhaoyang to travel between the palace and the Wilderness with it.
When the White Dragon arrived at the valley and saw Li Yuanqing, it wriggled its body in a fawning manner. It probably wanted to wag its tail. Unfortunately, its tail had long been devoured by the Little Ba Serpent. Moreover, Li Yuanqing did not even look at it. This made the White Dragon very depressed, but it did not dare to show it.
The man in front of it was really too terrifying. His pet had tortured it to death and almost swallowed it!
Zhaoyang’s expression was very ugly. When she saw Li Yuanqing, she still shouted affectionately, “Big Brother, something happened. The Yufu Mountain wants me to die with Li Zhengye. They want to erase the Northern Kingdom and say that it will be merged with the Yufu Kingdom. In the future, the people of the Yufu Mountain will be in charge…”
Yufu Mountain’s conditions were quite domineering. No one would agree. They were high and mighty and simply treated the Northern Kingdom like an ant. After all, the Yufu Mountain had existed for more than a thousand years.
The Emperor of the Yufu Kingdom, Li Zhengye, was their puppet.
In fact, Zhaoyang knew very well that such a day would come when she killed Li Zhengye. However, at that time, Zhaoyang was still calculating in her heart that the demons that came out of the catacomb at the exit of the Yufu Kingdom had restrained most of the energy of the Yufu Mountain.
The Old Ancestor of the Yufu Mountain had been in seclusion for decades and would not come out for a while. The remaining powerful disciples of the Yufu Mountain had been sent to guard the catacombs.
The Emperor of the Yufu Kingdom, Li Zhengye, had done something that angered the heavens and the people. The Northern Kingdom was slowly prospering. She was still thinking that with the recovery of spiritual energy, perhaps in ten or twenty years, when the Yufu Mountain recovered, the Northern Kingdom would also become stronger.
At that time, the Northern Kingdom would not have to fear the revenge of the Yufu Mountain.
“Big Brother, you definitely didn’t expect that the people of the Yufu Mountain would actually transfer a large number of disciples guarding the catacombs to take revenge on the Northern Kingdom. What should we do? The one we angered this time is the Yufu Mountain…”
Zhaoyang was a little anxious at this moment. It had been very difficult for the Northern Kingdom all these years. Although the people were living and working in peace, many things that they encountered and even endangered the survival of the country were almost all resolved by her big brother.
However, this time was different. This time, they were facing the entire Yufu Mountain. A Yufu Mountain that could casually support a country and they had a Patriarch who was known to be invincible in the Grotto-Heaven Realm!
This time, the Northern Kingdom might not be able to protect itself. This was because this was not something that could be achieved by relying on numbers. This was a compet.i.tion between the highest cultivators.
The Yufu Mountain was once called an immortal mountain.
“They’re not even guarding the catacomb anymore, but are looking for us to take revenge? This Yufu Mountain is not popular and is about to be finished. Such a sect actually dares to target you and let you die with them? Hahaha…” Li Yuanqing sneered. He was very low-key and cautious. He had never thought of dealing with the Yufu Mountain.
But if they wanted to die, he could not stop them!
