Subduing the Spirit

Boom!

The Primordial Peerless Hammer abruptly halted, hovering above the Lord of the Ancient Castle's head.

A scorching wave of air swept out. That heat wave alone made the Lord of the Ancient Castle feel a lethal threat!

Li Qing did not immediately take the other man's life. The battle situation had already been decided, so naturally, it was time to properly learn what he wanted to know.

"I ask, you answer."

Li Qing, with Wind Thunder Silver Wings beating behind him, slowly descended and stopped before the Lord of the Ancient Castle.

The Lord of the Ancient Castle's body trembled without end. At this moment, he no longer possessed the old charlatan's air of compassion for all beneath heaven. He knelt at Li Qing's feet and said in a trembling voice:

"Please ask, my lord."

"First question. What is your name?" Li Qing asked coldly.

"My name is Yang Gong. I am one chosen by the Mushroom Spirit." Yang Gong answered honestly.

Such cooperation spared him the trouble of using Soul Searching and Spirit Refining.

With that thought, Li Qing continued with his second question:

"The spirit you speak of—is it the mushroom bearing this city?"

"It chose you. Could this mushroom actually communicate with you?"

Li Qing was indeed quite curious about this mushroom capable of bearing an entire city. What sort of existence was it?

If one spoke of individual combat power, it could not compare to the enormous Demonic Willow in the Black Wind Domain. The difference was like clouds and mud.

And compared to his Blood Lotus, its utility seemed far inferior as well.

"The Mushroom Spirit naturally possesses intelligence. It is our hope for surviving in the darkness. Since darkness descended upon the earth, it has continuously sheltered us."

Li Qing had no interest
