With imposing presence and fluttering banners, the Ji Family's army Lifetime.
At this moment, however, they were in a hurry, scrambling and stumbling.
Like stray dogs, they fled in disarray, their armor and weapons discarded, disappearing into the horizon in a sorry state.
The Zhang Yang arrival and the desolate departure created an incredibly ironic contrast.
As the Ji Family, who had oppressed them to the point of near extermination, retreated in a panic like a receding tide, the demon camp fell into a deathly silence.
Then, someone let out a suppressed sob, followed by a burst of overwhelming joy, like a flood bursting its banks.
Years of pent-up frustration and grief over the loss of loved ones—all these emotions erupted at once!
Many demon warriors collapsed to the ground, weeping bitterly, while others embraced their companions tightly.
Even more extreme, some of them prostrated themselves in the direction of Li Qingshan, using the oldest and most revered etiquette of the demon race, and remained kneeling for a long time.
They expressed their profound gratitude in the most original and sincere way.
Yan Ruyu tried her best to hold back the tears welling up in her eyes, but the glistening tears eventually slid down her cheeks.
She bowed deeply again, her voice choked with emotion yet filled with unprecedented determination and strength:
" Yan Ruyu, on Azure Emperor Lineage, expresses her deepest gratitude to the Holy Son for saving her life!"
This kindness is heavier than a sacred mountain and deeper than the starry sea!
But by imperial decree, even facing mountains of knives and seas of fire, death is unacceptable!
Qin Yao also bowed deeply to the princess. This usually charming and graceful woman now showed gratitude on her face.
Her beautiful eyes sparkled with admiration as she looked at Li Qingshan, her gaze filled with indescribable reverence.
Woof woof woof!!
Awooo!!"
Just as this solemn, tragic, and grateful atmosphere reached its peak, a sudden and indescribable surge of emotion erupted.
A strange cry, a mixture of dog barks and wolf howls with slightly distorted tones, suddenly exploded!
Black Emperor seemed to have been struck by lightning; his glossy black fur stood on end.
It jumped around a few times, its four paws off the ground in excitement.
Then, like a black whirlwind, it rushed to Li Qingshan's feet, with an almost frenzied excitement as if it had discovered a priceless treasure!
It circled around Li Qingshan frantically, its tail wagging like a rapidly spinning windmill.
The dog growled incoherently, its voice a frantic confirmation transmitted through telepathy:
"Woof woof! Yes! Yes! That's it! That's the feeling!"
This damnably beautiful primordial Daoist rhythm!
That aura, like that of the Great Emperor Wushi, seemed to transcend all paths!
Li Qingshan! You, you haven't, you've succeeded!
Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo?
Yes or no?
Awooo!!"
The Black Emperor was unusually excited, due to its mastery of the Great Emperor Formation Patterns and its familiarity with the aura of the Great Emperor Wushi.
It was more acute than anyone else in perceiving the fundamental, transformative change in Li Qingshan's physique!
It seemed as if it saw the hope of the Great Emperor Wushi Wushi's legacy reappearing in the world, and that the suitable successor it had been searching for for countless years might be right before its eyes!
This excitement is far greater than receiving any divine gifts or scriptures, because it concerns its deepest convictions and beliefs!
This series of loud barks instantly shattered the solemn and grateful atmosphere at the scene.
Ye Fan, supporting Pang Bo, stared in disbelief.
Li Qingshan looked down at the Black Emperor, who was so excited he was about to explode, and a smile curved his lips, his tone slightly teasing:
"Your nose is quite sensitive."
However, the great path is not yet complete, so what are you shouting about?
He didn't directly admit it, but this almost tacit agreement instantly energized the Black Emperor, his eyes widening and his whole body trembling with excitement. He transmitted his thoughts telepathically:
"It really is! It really is! Hahaha! Heaven has eyes! The Great Emperor's succession is in sight!"
Boss! From this day forward, you are my one and only boss, Black Emperor!
If you tell me to go east, I'll never go west; if you tell me to catch a dog, I'll never chase a chicken. Uh, no, I am a dog. Anyway, from now on, I, Black Emperor, will follow you!
It was so excited that it started to ramble, but its heartfelt joy and conviction were genuine.
Li Qingshan ignored it and turned his gaze to Ye Fan and Pang Bo, although weak, was clearly invigorated.
" Pang Bo," Li Qingshan began.
This ordeal, for you, is also a form of tempering.
Although your soul and body may be damaged, the removal of evil thoughts will actually make your essence purer.
Once things settle down and you recuperate properly, you can not only fully recover your former appearance, but you may also reach new heights. You have received a new chapter update: Chapter 198: Now in a Hurry, Scrambling, and Rushing, Read the link.
Thank you, teacher!
Pang Bo was moved to tears, his voice still a little hoarse.
I've embarrassed you.
"If you know you've lost face, then cultivate diligently and get your revenge."
Li Qingshan's tone was casual, yet encouraging.
Pang Bo's voice was hoarse but full of power, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.
"I will certainly live up to your expectations and improve my strength as soon as possible!"
Ye Fan,
Li Qingshan looked at him, his eyes filled with scrutiny and a hint of barely perceptible approval.
"You have a calm temperament and a solid foundation, which is very good."
The path to the Sacred Body lies in uncovering one's own Divine Treasures; external forces are merely auxiliary.
Today, to personally experience the Nine Secrets Mantras and feel the Great Dao Heavenly Sound is an unparalleled opportunity for you.
Quietly contemplate and refine the Sea of Bitterness Secret Realm to its ultimate level, attempting to touch the threshold of the Dao Palace.
Your stage is not here, but in the future.
Ye Fan's expression was solemn as he deeply memorized these words and nodded emphatically:
"Yes, Teacher Li! Your disciple will certainly study diligently and persevere to solidify my foundation!"
He understood that Li Qingshan was paving the most solid and invincible path for him.
After settling the two of them, Li Qingshan looked again at Yan Ruyu and the other demons who stood respectfully, their hearts still pounding.
And there was Black Emperor, excitedly rubbing his paws together, his face beaming with "a bright future."
"Although the turmoil here has temporarily subsided, the news of the Ji Family's retreat will spread quickly."
Li Qingshan spoke calmly, his gaze seemingly already foreshadowing the turmoil that might ensue in the future.
" The Azure Emperor Lineage has matters to attend to, and they will need your assistance. This is also a tremendous opportunity for you."
After speaking, he gently flicked his sleeve, and a gentle yet boundless power, seemingly capable of encompassing heaven and earth, instantly enveloped all the demons present, as well as Ye Fan and Pang Bo.
Without being told, Black Emperor had already nimbly darted to Li Qingshan's side, head held high and chest puffed out, looking like a proud guard.
He even winked at Ye Fan and transmitted his thoughts to him:
"Kid, you see that? Following the big boss, your future is limitless!"
Our best days are yet to come!
The space rippled outwards like water, creating transparent ripples.
Li Qingshan took a step forward, as if stepping into another dimension, instantly disappearing from the spot with everyone else.
Without causing any spatial tremors, they left silently, yet they took away all the focus of attention here.
All that remains is a scarred volcanic landscape, yet with tiny patches of green stubbornly peeking out.
The rich, chaotic atmosphere in the air mingled with the unique fragrance of newly sprouted grass and trees.
This creates a scene full of contradictions and vitality, silently witnessing how a dramatic change that has just taken place here has reversed the course of events.
And how an era belonging to " Qingshan " arrived with unparalleled force!
In the distance, the rogue cultivators and spies from various forces who had long since hidden thousands of miles away and were spying with various magical artifacts dared to cautiously reveal themselves at this moment.
Looking at the deserted battlefield, his face was filled with endless shock, horror, and disbelief.
"Gone, just like that, gone."
" The Ji Family has been defeated, utterly defeated, without even leaving behind a single harsh word."
" Li Qingshan, the Jade Pool Holy Son, could he have just used Nine Secrets that have been lost for so long?"
And that strange phenomenon... I felt that in its presence, my cultivation of hundreds of years was as insignificant as dust!
"The sky over the Eastern Wasteland is truly about to change!"
From this day forward, among the younger generation, who dares to claim supremacy, who dares to claim invincibility!
"Seeing it is like a mayfly gazing at the blue sky"—I used to think this was an exaggeration, but today I realize it's truly a vivid and accurate description!
A cacophony of voices, gasps of astonishment, and gasps of surprise rose and fell. It was clear that Li Qingshan had returned, and with his invincible power, he would single-handedly suppress the Ji Family and protect the descendants of the Azure Emperor.
The news that he possesses what appears to be the Nine Secrets and a chaotic phenomenon will sweep across the entire Eastern Wasteland at an astonishing speed, like a cosmic storm, and even shake the Five Great Domains!
All the young prodigies who heard of this matter, whether they were the crown prince of the Immortal Divine Dynasty or the holy son of the Peerless Holy Land.
Whether they were descendants of the Primordial Royal Clan who had been sleeping and had just awakened, it was as if an insurmountable, towering divine mountain was pressing down on their hearts.
A name, like destiny, loomed over this era, suffocating all its contemporaries.
Before the real competition even began, one could already see its towering silhouette and feel the despair-inducing gap between them.
