The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 044
Chapter 044 Return To The Tribe
At this critical moment, Li Qing took action. It was impossible for him to watch helplessly as others were killed, even those from the Heavenly Saber Tribe.
The one who had a grudge against him was the Heavenly Saber Clan’s Clan Chief. Ordinary people were still innocent. In the face of this, he could still distinguish between right and wrong.
How could a low-grade Tiger Demon be placed in his eyes? Li Qing took a step forward and directly arrived at its side, punching out.
With his strength, even a high-grade demonic beast could not resist his punch, let alone the tiger demon in front of him. This punch smashed into its body, directly exploding it, and its body was torn apart, sprinkling a rain of blood all over the sky.
Easy instant kill!
The dozen or so large men were drenched in blood. They stared at Li Qing blankly, their expressions extremely shocked.
“This … Isn’t this too powerful? How could there be such a powerful human after blasting a demonic tiger with a single punch?” They couldn’t believe it. The people in the tribe were too short-sighted and hadn’t seen many human experts at all. Thinking back to when Li Qing saw Elder Liu, his performance was actually similar to theirs.
The leader woke up first and hurriedly walked forward. He respectfully cupped his hands and said, “Thank you very much for saving this strong man. We are extremely grateful.”
Li Qing looked at the person in front of him and vaguely remembered his name. He said, “Captain Zhang, don’t you recognize me?”
The man was stunned and asked in surprise, “Do you recognize me?” After he finished speaking, he carefully sized up Li Qing for a while, but he didn’t have any impression in his mind. He shook his head and said, “I don’t seem to have seen you. Could it be that I recognized the wrong person?”
It was normal for him not to recognize Li Qing. In the past, Li Qing had a very low sense of existence in the Heavenly Saber Tribe and lived in a remote place. As a result, he had not seen many people and was not familiar with them. Now that ten years had passed, his appearance and temperament had undergone tremendous changes. Especially with his strength, such a powerful and immortal-like figure, Captain Zhang couldn’t even imagine that it was him. How could he recognize it?
Li Qing said indifferently, “You are the captain of the Heavenly Saber Tribe’s hunting squad, right?”
The Heavenly Saber Army had a total of three hunting squads, representing the highest ranking force of the Heavenly Saber Tribe. Each squad had a captain. Captain Zhang was one of them.
“That’s right. Looks like you do know me. But I’m ashamed. I can’t remember who you are.” Captain Zhang said.
“Do you still remember Li Qing?”
“Li Qing?” He was stunned. He was recalling and muttering to himself. Then, he seemed to recall something and shouted, “Are you Li Qing?”
“That’s right, I am Li Qing!” He said in a deep voice.
Captain Zhang seemed to have been greatly frightened. He actually retreated repeatedly. His face was pale and cold sweat broke out. He shouted loudly, “How could it be you? After so many years, you actually didn’t die! What are you doing back here?”
“Of course I came back for revenge.” Li Qing’s expression was cold, and the air seemed to have turned cold.
“You want to attack the Heavenly Saber Tribe?” Captain Zhang panicked and instantly thought of many things. He still vaguely remembered the tragedy that happened before the ancestral temple. That scene was like an Asura Ground. No one knew what had happened back then better than him. He was there at that time.
That young man had actually returned after so many years! Moreover, his strength had actually reached such a level that he could easily instantly kill demonic beasts. If he were to go berserk, the Heavenly Saber Tribe wouldn’t be able to resist.
Li Qing shook his head and said, “You think too much. I won’t attack ordinary people. I only need to kill the Heavenly Saber Clan Chief and kill the Chief Evil. So don’t worry too much.”
Captain Zhang heaved a sigh of relief. He patted his chest and said, “That’s good, that’s good.”
He knew that there was no way to stop Li Qing from taking revenge. This was already the best outcome.
Moreover, ever since the truth of that incident was revealed, the Heavenly Saber Clan’s Clan Chief’s prestige in the tribe had been completely lost, and he was no longer respected. No one would regret his death.
“Since we met here, let’s go back together.” Li Qing said.
“Alright.” Captain Zhang agreed without hesitation. Actually, they weren’t going back so quickly, but they weren’t in the mood to hunt after such a thing.
As a result, a group of people headed in the direction of the Heavenly Saber Tribe.
…
On the way, someone quietly asked Captain Zhang, “Captain, who is this Li Qing?” None of them knew Li Qing. Seeing Captain Zhang’s frightened appearance, they were very curious.
These people were all young people, so it was normal for them not to recognize Li Qing. The old members of the hunting squad were basically all killed in front of the ancestral temple with a single saber strike. The current members were all fresh blood that had been slowly replenished over the past ten years.
However, Captain Zhang’s expression turned grim as he said seriously, “If you shouldn’t ask, don’t ask!”
If he revealed Li Qing’s identity, wouldn’t he scare them to death? The tragedy in front of the ancestral temple ten years ago was already a taboo of the Heavenly Saber Tribe, and no one dared to say anything else.
On the way, Li Qing asked Captain Zhang about the current situation of the Heavenly Saber Tribe. Captain Zhang also answered him one by one.
In recent years, the situation of the Heavenly Saber Tribe had not been very good. First of all, the Heavenly Saber Clan’s Clan Chief had lost all prestige in the tribe and was despised by everyone. Not many people were willing to listen to his orders anymore, and the clan had become a pile of scattered sand as a result.
Secondly, when the Heavenly Saber appeared, the commotion was simply too exaggerated. Everyone within a radius of several hundred kilometers could see it and could not conceal it. When the people from the surrounding tribes learned that the Heavenly Saber had been pulled out, they felt fear in their hearts and joined forces to fight against the Heavenly Saber Tribe.
In ancient legends, as long as someone could pull out a Heavenly Saber, they would be a Heavenly Instructor, able to unify the surrounding tribes. How could they not panic?
In fact, the Heavenly Saber had already been taken away by Li Qing, and that legend was simply nonsense. However, the surrounding tribes did not know about this matter. They only thought that the Heavenly Saber Tribe had deliberately released false news to deceive them.
The Heavenly Saber Tribe had a hard time arguing and tried their best to explain, but no one believed it at all.
As a result, many tribes joined forces to form an alliance to deal with the Heavenly Saber Tribe. During these ten years, they had repeatedly sent people to harass and suppress the Heavenly Saber Tribe, causing them to suffer unspeakably.
“If you have the chance, help them.” Li Qing thought to himself. The Heavenly Saber Tribe was his hometown. Although he no longer had much affection for it, he was still willing to help.
“That old thief hasn’t died yet. He gave me a chance to take revenge!” A trace of killing intent flashed through his eyes. After so many years, he was truly afraid that the Heavenly Saber Clan’s Clan Chief would die early.
…
Soon, in the afternoon, they returned to the Heavenly Saber Tribe. Li Qing looked at the familiar plants and trees and couldn’t help but feel extremely emotional. The scenery was still the same, but the people were different.
On the way, there was an old man working. When he saw them, he shouted, “Old Zhang, why did you come back so early today?”
“Sigh, forget it. I almost couldn’t come back when I encountered a demonic beast.” Captain Zhang replied.
“Demonic beast!” The old man was shocked and hurriedly said, “How is the situation? Are there any dead people?”
“No.” Captain Zhang waved his hand and said, “Luckily, someone saved me and killed the demonic beast with a single punch.” After saying that, he pointed at Li Qing.
“Oh?” The old man looked at the direction he was pointing in and asked, “What do you mean?”
Captain Zhang turned his head to look at Li Qing. He couldn’t help but be shocked, because Li Qing and Liu Ke’er had disappeared!
“How is that possible! When did they leave?” He couldn’t figure it out. He was clearly at the side just now, but why did he disappear in the blink of an eye? Without anyone noticing, such a method was truly frightening.
The surrounding hunters were also at a loss. They felt as if the two of them had disappeared out of thin air.
“What’s the matter?” Uncle Chen asked when he saw the strange expressions on their faces.
“Alas!” Team Leader Zhang sighed and said, “Go and invite all the elders and captains over. I’m afraid something big is about to happen.”
It seemed that the two of them had gone to the patriarch’s house. The position of Patriarch will soon change.
…
Indeed, as Captain Zhang had expected, Li Qing and Liu Ke’er arrived at the Heavenly Saber Patriarch’s house.
One could see that the Patriarch’s house was very large, and the courtyard was decorated with luxurious decorations. But now, there was no one around, and it was slightly bleak. It was no longer as glorious as it used to be.
The fallen leaves piled up in front of the door seemed to indicate the decline of their family.
The two of them did not hesitate to climb over the wall and enter. With their strength, it was simply too easy for them to quietly enter without being discovered.
There were only a few servants working in the front yard. Without the Patriarch here, they went back into the backyard.
There are many rooms in the backyard. After searching for a while, they soon heard the patriarch’s voice in a room.
“This is the voice of an old thief! I will never forget it in my dreams.” Li Qing was excited and his body trembled slightly.
The two of them quietly approached. Li Qing pushed open a gap in the window and looked inside. There were two people in the room. One was the Heavenly Saber Patriarch, and the other was a fifteen or sixteen year old girl.
