A gentle voice suddenly rang out, stopping Li Qing just as he was about to burn the city.
"Stop."
Upon hearing the voice transmission, Li Qing knew that his threat had worked. The Mushroom Spirit naturally would not want to be reduced completely to ashes; that was only common sense.
Li Qing temporarily suppressed the Spirit Flame Fire Source he had condensed. His voice remained ice-cold:
"Open your spiritual sense. Do not offer any resistance. Once I plant a Spiritual Sense Imprint, you may live!"
