In the middle of the night.
The white-haired witch seized the Green Face Sword and gloated.
The surrounding disciples of the academy reacted, instantly drawing their blades and pointing them straight at the white-haired witch.
Lin Xiu Xiu’s silver teeth clenched angrily, “Bold, you devil girl, we saved your life, not only are you ungrateful, but you also took away Eldest Brother’s sword.”
The white-haired devil woman scoffed, “Haha! The people of the academy are so ignorant, I am an evil cultivator, asking me to be thankful would be better than letting the river flow backwards. Now the Green Face Sword is mine, with this sixth grade immortal weapon, the four directions of the immortal realm are mine to roam.”
Qin Li clutched the returned sheath, calm and unusual: “Since you took my sword, can you answer a query of mine, what exactly did you steal from the demonic cultivator?”
“For the sake of the sword weapon, I’ll tell you.”The white-haired devil girl laughed:
“The Spectral Ancestor got word that a merchant caravan had come from the Northern Region’s Demon Kingdom with a large amount of treasures, many of which were immortal herbs that could alleviate going off the deep end. Therefore, we, the Seven Orchid Cultivators, teamed up to ambush them, but I didn’t expect that they weren’t a merchant caravan, but a war party from the Devil Kingdom. The Bloodthirsty Ancestor, the White Bone Fiend was killed, and the rest of them fled and scattered.”
Qin Li asked again, “Then did you and the God-skinned Old Monster split the spoils and had a huge fight.”
The White-Haired Demoness was surprised, “You know that so well, he even pulled out a lot of my hair!”
Qin Li came to a sudden realisation and pursued, “Last question, why did you skin the God-skinned Old Monster and gouge out the eyes of the Spirit Eyes Old Ancestor.”
Upon hearing this, the white-haired Demoness raised an eyebrow, looking surprised, “I didn’t kill the God-skinned Old Monster, let alone skin him, as for the Spirit Eyes Old Ancestor, he saw the situation and ran away in a huff long ago, I didn’t need to kill him and gouge his eyes out!”
This answer was unexpected.
Qin Li frowned greatly, never having a clue to the murderer behind the scenes.
Lin Xiu Xiu, on the other hand, shouted, “Eldest Senior Brother, don’t talk nonsense with this Demoness, let’s swarm up and kill the Demoness to retrieve the Green Face Sword.”
The white-haired devil woman however sneered, “Delusional. Among you, three of the major combatants, Qin Li lost his sword and lost his combat power, Yang Jianyi left again, as for Wan Qingshan, the remaining three hundred people look bluffing, but in reality, it’s a mess, as long as I break through them one by one, all of you will have to die.”
Upon hearing this, Wan Qingshan directly exploded, I am at least one of the three masters of the academy, actually being degraded into unbearable, can’t endure ah!
“Witch watch the move, Fairy Peak!”
Wan Qingshan instantly struck, immortal power surged out, transforming into a shapely mountain peak, smashing down with a loud bang, just like a fiery meteor falling to the ground.
“Look at the sword!”The white-haired demoness held the Green Face Sword, the power of the Half Immortal King was infused into it, and with a slash into the air, it was a crescent sword qi, directly splitting through the Fairy Peak, appearing to be easy to write.
“Good sword, what a superb sword!”The white-haired Demoness laughed wildly up to the sky.
Qin Li said indifferently, “Sword come!”
Returning to its sheath with power, a magnetic force erupted, and the Qingyan Sword vibrated endlessly, directly breaking free from the white-haired witch’s hand and inserting itself back into its scabbard with a swoosh.
At once.
The white-haired witch’s laughter came to an abrupt end.
Qin Li held the Qing Yan Sword and smiled, “You’ve answered quite a few of my questions, so you can go to hell.”
The white-haired devil woman’s face changed drastically, revealing the ferocity of a figure of speech, “Damn it, but it’s only an Immortal Zun 9th Grade who wants to kill me.”
“White refinement like a snake!”
Nine feet of white hair twisted into a single strand, transforming into a white serpent, fangs were eerie, covered in 100,000 needles, like a snake-headed lance, one zap, a fourth grade immortal weapon would have to be pierced through.
“Die!”Qin Li drew out his Qing Yan Sword, sword intent shooting out, a mere stab was like a gazelle, cutting through the white-haired serpent and piercing into the heart of the white-haired Demoness.
“You’re a Half Immortal King ……”
The white-haired demoness was incredulous, her eyes eventually darkened, and with remorse and unwillingness, she powerlessly planted herself on the ground again.
Lin Xiu Xiu said in surprise, “Eldest brother, the White-haired Demoness is a Half Immortal King, you actually killed her with a single sword!”
“She was injured, otherwise I would have needed two swords to kill her.”Qin Li casually slashed out his sword, cutting off the nine feet of white hair of the White-Haired Demoness, which he felt might be useful.
Wan Qingshan smiled awkwardly, killing a Half Immortal King with two swords was too pretentious. However, it also showed that Qin Li’s strength was becoming increasingly refined, and the gap between him and him was widening.
“Eldest Senior Brother, what should we do now.”Lin Xiu Xiu asked obediently.
Qin Li didn’t answer, but instead, he called out to the barren mountains in the distance, “Friends of the Demon Kingdom, you’ve been hiding on the sidelines watching the battle, it’s time for you to come out.”
Immediately, the three hundred disciples of the Academy looked alert.
Above the barren mountain.
Forty-nine Devil Country cultivators leapt out.
Their faces were all a little odd, originally they wanted to take advantage of the night to sneak in, but they didn’t expect to see the opposite side killing each other, confusing them.
“Who the hell are you guys?”The rough general asked.
Qin Li said, “We are students of the Xixuan Academy, and have come to investigate the case of the murder of the academy’s graduates!”
The brash general was even more surprised as he explained, “My name is Zhao Weiguo, the ninth army commander of the Demonic Cloud Army, and I’m travelling to the Xixuan Immortal Region in order to pay my respects to Master Xu and make an alliance with the Xixuan Academy.”
Qin Li was dumbfounded as he asked, “Do you have an invitation to pay your respects?”
“Naturally, I do, this is the Demon Lord’s own letter.”Zhao Weiguo handed out a document, white paper and black devil, translucent with a transcendent will, bearing the aura of an Immortal King above.
“So that’s how it is!”Qin Li came to a sudden realisation, instantly sorting out the clues.
The black hand behind the scenes had messed up so many mists with the clear purpose of stopping the Xixuan Academy from allying with the Northern Region Demon Kingdom, and the beneficiary of this matter was either the Eastern Immortal Palace or the Southern Heavenly Sect.
Zhao Weiguo smiled awkwardly, ”Big water has washed over the Dragon King Temple, I didn’t expect a misunderstanding. I wonder if little brother could take us to the secret realm of the academy, we have brought many specialities from the Northern Domain, although the Orchid Seven Cultivators snatched some of them away, there are still a lot of treasures left, which were given to Husband Xu.”
Qin Li shook his head and smiled, “I’ll bring you all back to the secret realm later, right now the priority is to uncover the murderer and find out who was behind the poisoning.”
The words just fell.
Swoosh!
A stream of light rushed into the sky in the distance.
It was a firework that formed the word “West” after exploding.
Qin Li’s face changed: “This is a distress signal from the academy, Yang Jianyi is in danger, let’s quickly go over to support him!”
Three hundred disciples from the Academy flew off in the air, and the forty-nine Demon Kingdom cultivators also went over to help.
Without a moment’s effort.
A few hundred people killed this side in great numbers.
“We’ve met the rightful owner!”Qin Li raised his head to look out and saw two black-robed people in the distance, they were covered in black, only revealing a pair of eyes, and an orchid was embroidered on their black robes.
Obviously this group of people were the ones behind the destruction of Leaning Mountain City, their strength was unfathomable, they had actually severely injured Yang Jianyi, and had also captured Yang Xiaomiao.
“Qin Li, quickly save my brother, he’s going to be killed!”Yang Xiaomiao shrieked and lost her voice, her eyes tearing up, her entire body was about to run out of breath.
After she left the Great Drum Mountain, she was captured by these two black-robed men, and Yang Jianyi came over to rescue him, only to be knocked down by the black-robed leader with a single move, spitting out blood.
“Who are you guys?”Qin Li coldly asked.
The black-robed leader jiejie laughs strangely, “I can’t believe that you guys found out, who are we, I’m sure you guys can save energy very clearly, can’t you?”
As soon as this person opened his mouth, everyone’s faces immediately sank!
This person, was the one who had killed their masters and brothers!
The three hundred disciples of the academy gritted their teeth.
Lin Xiu Xiu sneaked out, “Eldest Senior Brother, look at their Immortal Soldiers, they have fire cloud patterns on them, which means that they are most likely from the Eastern Immortal Palace.”
Qin Li let out a light laugh, “I think they should be from the Southern Heavenly Sect!”
Southern Heavenly Clan!
The crowd all looked surprised.
The black-robed leader sneered, “Brat, what are you babbling about.”
Qin Li said indifferently, “You guys are too deliberate, not only are you taking the Eastern Immortal Palace’s weapons, but you also left behind the remnants of the Fire Cloud Patterns in the Leaning Mountain City, so it’s obvious that you’re trying to frame the Eastern Immortal Palace.”
“Thinking about it, the black hand behind the scenes could only be the Southern Heavenly Sect. You guys have gone through a lot of trouble this time for no more than three purposes. Firstly, to frame the Eastern Immortal Palace and destroy the relationship between the East and West, secondly, to rob the Demon Kingdom’s delegation halfway and stir up the alliance between the West and North, and thirdly, to uproot the power of the Academy in preparation for encroaching on the Western Region.”
“If I’m not wrong, the last of the Seven Orchid Cultivators, Old Soul Ancestor, is among you!”
Clap!
The black-robed leader couldn’t help but applaud, “Looks like you’re Qin Li, truly extraordinary, my brother should have killed you in the first place, there wouldn’t have been so much trouble behind.”
Qin Li frowned, “You are ……”
“I am the youngest son of the Luo Heavenly Man, Wang Aoshan, the Ao Tian Immortal King is my elder brother,” Wan Aoshan unveils his black robe, revealing a handsome face with a cynical smile at the corner of his mouth.
