Golden Light Prefecture City, outside the city on the official road.
Several plain carriages galloped along the official road.
The charioteer quickly whipped the reins, and the horses, steaming with heat, sped energetically on the spacious road.
Li Qingshan lay on Nurse Momo’s lap, letting her gently stroke his head.
Meanwhile, Nurse Momo read aloud a secret letter sent from the city.
“The Bull Demon has caused trouble again, slaughtering the Fishing Gang’s subordinate power, White Wave Hall, with both White Wave Hall Leader and Vice Hall Leader killed, their bodies brutally dismembered, displaying extreme ferocity.”
“According to intelligence feedback, both the Hall Leader and Vice Hall Master had received the Eight Extremes Corpse Curse Seal, and the Hall Leader had even worshipped the Corpse God, practicing Corpse Art, slaughtering innocent women and feasting on their flesh, totaling thirty-six victims…”
“Beasts!”
Nurse Momo couldn’t help but curse out loud.
“Thankfully, there’s the heroic Bull Demon!”
“This city… How is it still so chaotic!”
Lying on her lap, Li Qingshan slightly opened his eyelids and sneered, “Chaos is the norm… A Four Royal Mysterious Temple located just outside Golden Light Prefecture City doomed this place to never be peaceful.”
“Out of the Four Mansions of Yun State, the first choice for the Corpse God Cult’s corruption was Golden Light Prefecture, and why? Not just because the Noble Families and Sects of the Prefecture are the most ambitious, but also because of this Four Royal Mysterious Temple.”
“To build a Divine Sect leaning on this temple… What immense ambition!”
Li Qingshan sighed.
“The appearance of the Four Royal Mysterious Temple in Golden Light Prefecture is both a blessing and a curse.”
Nurse Momo’s face changed over and over, eventually, she shook her head somewhat helplessly.
“It turns out… it’s the same everywhere, none too peaceful.”
“Where in the world is there peace.”
Li Qingshan sat up, embraced Nurse Momo, “But don’t worry, with me here, you will be at peace.”
“Even if it’s not peaceful, I’ll hammer out a peace for you.”
Nurse Momo foolishly gazed at Li Qingshan, then her eyes dimmed slightly, “I’m old, with no hope for a Divine Foundation, unlike you… your future could lead to a Divine Minister position, or even higher pursuits.”
“As for me, I am probably going to die.”
“So, I just want to spend peaceful days with you…”
Li Qingshan looked out the window, utterly stunned.
After a long while, he kissed Nurse Momo’s forehead.
“Rest assured, this evening sun, I will accompany you to the end.”
Suddenly.
Nurse Momo struggled out of his embrace and stared at Li Qingshan, “No, no need.”
“You are Li Qingshan, you don’t need to change specifically for me, I know one person’s power is limited, you can’t change the filth between heaven and earth, but I hope you still hold onto the original heart you had when you first entered the martial world with your horse.”
“I hope you remain guilt-free! With your hammer… smash all those disgusting fellows to death for me!”
“Just like what the Bull Demon is doing now.”
Li Qingshan was stunned.
Then he burst into laughter, unreservedly giving Nurse Momo a big kiss,
“Worthy of the woman I, Li Qingshan, have long pined for!”
“Unworthy from the moment I liked you when I first entered the martial world!”
The next moment.
Li Qingshan leaped out of the carriage, appearing on top of it, as the carriage sped along, the fierce wind stirring, he stood like a spear, his clothes clinging to his body, billowing behind him!
He looked towards the charioteer, and the charioteer stopped the reins.
“Peak Master,” the charioteer said respectfully. Discover stories with empire
“Ensure these Spirit Children are safely delivered into the city, arrange their accommodations, and wait for the sect’s examination at the spring equinox,” he said.
“Once you’re in the city, Lu Chi will bring people to meet with you.”
The charioteer saluted, “Yes.”
Li Qingshan smiled, his eyes gazing at Golden Light Prefecture City under the dusky night.
His gaze shifted, looking towards the distant Mysterious Temple of the Four Imperials on the surging Nine Dragons River, as if it warped time and space, situated in the middle of the river.
Withdrawing his gaze, Li Qingshan flicked his toes, and like a hawk, he soared out. In mid-flight, he quickly covered his face with a cat-face mask.
With a flick of his wide sleeves, a Ram Horn Hammer slid into his palm, and as he grasped it, arcs of lightning flared up.
Indeed.
Li Qingshan had returned.
Though unable to cleanse the filth of the entire city, he must still exert all his strength.
That youngster, Bull Demon, was striving to be a hero.
Li Qingshan too had once been a young man with a sword, leading a horse into the martial world, dreaming of being a hero.
Surely he couldn’t lose his courage now that he was old, could he?
…
…
The night was dark and the wind was high.
Whoosh whoosh!
The flowing air surged wildly; Li Che, with the Dao Fruit of the Dragon Elephant Vajra, perfectly concealed his blood and qi as if merging with the air of the heavens and earth.
Moving through the long night, wearing a Cute Bull Mask, his burly figure rose and fell, and the scenery on both sides rapidly receded.
Black Snake Gang’s territory.
The grieving wind howled incessantly in the dark night, and the willows rapidly swayed their branches.
As the only remaining major power under the Fishing Gang, the Black Snake Gang’s defenses were extremely cautious, with teams of skilled Martial Artists patrolling in groups.
Should Bull Demon appear, they would give a warning, allowing the top fighters of the Black Snake Gang to escape swiftly.
Standing on the rooftop, stepping on black tiles.
Li Che, enveloped in a black robe, gazed indifferently at the brightly lit Black Snake Gang’s headquarters.
Raising his hand, he pressed it to his forehead.
In an instant…
With his position as the Stellar Position, the Heaven and Earth Chessboard spread out, encompassing the map. Intersecting black lines sketched out the chessboard image.
Above it, at various intersecting points, black pieces emanated dark qi, aiming to kill Bull Demon.
At the same time, the contained “Eight Extremes Corpse Curse Seal” within the chessboard vibrated continuously.
A ring of Death Qi formed concentric ripples, expanding ceaselessly!
Then, upon the chessboard, one Corpse Curse Seal after another emerged.
“Hmm?”
“Is this… the Eight Extremes Corpse Curse Seal?”
Under the Cute Bull Mask, Li Che’s eyes sharpened, as the stronghold and the surrounding powerhouses of the Black Snake Gang were not only numerous but also of high quality!
