The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 047

Chapter 047 Tribal Danger (1)
Li Qing brought Liu Ke’er to the foot of Purple Cloud Mountain.

Looking out, a dilapidated wooden cabin stood there alone, bleak in the wind.

That was his old home.

He hadn’t expected that after so many years, his family was still alive and hadn’t been destroyed by the Heavenly Saber Tribe. Li Qing’s eyes were filled with tears as he looked at the place that he had been dreaming of.

In front of him was a desolate scene.

More than half of the fence in front of the door fell. The courtyard was filled with weeds, some of which had grown to the height of half a person, covering the middle of the road and extending to the stairs.

The wooden house was in good condition. Although it was obviously a bit dilapidated and slightly damaged, the whole house was still intact. After many years of wind and rain, it was like a mother waiting for the return of a wandering child, quietly waiting.

“Is this your old home?” Liu Ke’er asked.

“Yes.” Li Qing said softly.

“It’s quite similar to the home in our Hundred Flowers Valley.” She said.

Li Qing was stunned. He really didn’t pay attention to this point. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was really the case. Perhaps it was because of his subconscious that he unconsciously made the wooden house in Hundred Flowers Valley look like this. It could also be that there was a heavenly will behind it.

He pushed away the weeds and was still able to recognize the traces of the path in the garden. He cleaved open the weeds, cleaved a path, and went in.

“Look, there’s a small vegetable field over there!” Liu Ke’er cried out in alarm.

Li Qing looked over. Sure enough, there was a small patch of rapeseed in the weeds beside him. It was sparse and not very obvious. Surrounded by weeds, the living environment was extremely harsh, but they stubbornly survived in the cracks, exuding vigor.

“This is the vegetable field that my mother used to plant. I didn’t expect that there would still be vegetables growing here.” Li Qing could not help but sigh when he saw Wu Si Qing’s emotions. He walked forward to pull out the weeds, trimmed the vegetable field, and muttered to himself, “Survive well.”

They continued to walk inside and soon arrived at the door of the cabin. He gently pushed the wooden door open with a “creak” and a burst of heavy dust pounced on his face.

The furnishings in the room were as old as ever, covered with a thick layer of dust and spider webs. His feet stepped on the ground, leaving behind clear footprints.

Looking at the familiar decorations inside, the memories buried deep in his mind gradually emerged. Li Qing recalled the days when he and his mother were together and couldn’t help but stay where they were.

Liu Ke’er did not disturb him. She just looked at him silently, her eyes filled with pity.

The air seemed to be silent.

After a long time, Li Qing finally regained his senses. Thousands of words turned into a sigh.

“Let’s clean up this place.” Liu Ke’er said with a smile.

Li Qing looked at her bright smile and his mood became much brighter. He nodded and said, “Alright.”

She always understands his heart.

The two spent some time cleaning the room together. There weren’t many things in the room. It was simple and plain. It was very easy to clean. Soon, the cabin was completely new and bright.

The night gradually darkened. They sat on the stairs and watched the setting sun. Their hearts were calm.

“Aren’t we bored? We knew we would leave soon, but we cleaned up this place so cleanly.” Li Qing mocked himself.

“But it makes sense, doesn’t it?” Liu Ke’er said.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, their hearts resonating.

“It’s getting late. Let’s spend the night here tonight.” Li Qing said.

“Yes.” Liu Ke’er leaned her head against his shoulder and replied softly.

“This humble house is simple and crude. I hope you don’t mind.”

“How could that be? I’ve experienced such a bad environment in the Cloud Mountain Range, so why would I mind this place?” Liu Ke’er raised her head and looked at him affectionately, “Besides, your home is my home. How can I dislike my own home?”

Li Qing was very touched. Then, he lowered his head and kissed deeply.

…

At this moment, all the upper echelons of the Heavenly Saber Tribe were gathered in the meeting hall to discuss the matter.

“Old Zhang, what you said is true? Then did Li Qing really kill a demonic beast with one punch?” A white-haired elder asked.

“Of course it’s true. So many people have witnessed it with their own eyes, but it’s still fake? Furthermore, it’s not just killing them, it’s exploding with a single punch, shattering the demonic beast’s body into pieces.” Captain Zhang emphasized.

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.

“Isn’t this too powerful?”

“That’s right, this kind of strength is already far stronger than Li Yuanlong’s back then. He should be able to kill an Intermediate Demonic Beast!”

“Sure enough, it’s Tiger Father without a dog.”

Back then, Li Yuanlong had only been able to kill low-grade demonic beasts. Although he had killed a few low-grade demonic beasts, he had only won bitterly. It was extremely difficult to win. It was simply unheard of and unimaginable that such a thing could explode a demonic beast with a single punch.

“What exactly is he coming back for? Is he looking for revenge from the Heavenly Saber Tribe?” Someone was extremely fearful and expressed their doubts.

In fact, many people were extremely scared because Li Qing had killed many people back then. He was simply like a devil. This time, it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn’t go berserk and start a massacre.

Captain Zhang shook his head and said, “Don’t worry. He said that he won’t kill innocents indiscriminately. He will only seek revenge from the Patriarch.”

Hearing this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

“Then why did they suddenly disappear? Where did they go?”

“I think, at this time, most likely, they have gone to the patriarch’s house.” Captain Zhang guessed.

Everyone suddenly quieted down, and the atmosphere became somewhat strange. In the end, the Patriarch was the Patriarch. Although he was no longer respected by others, it would be a bit difficult for them to accept that he would be killed just like that.

However, although there were some thoughts in his heart, no one would want to save the Heavenly Saber Clan Chief because it was not worth it.

Everyone was silent.

Someone said, “Now that so much time has passed, there should be results. Why don’t we send someone to the patriarch’s house to find out?”

“Alright.” Everyone nodded.

Thus, they sent a person to the patriarch’s house. After a while, the man returned with a message, “The Patriarch is dead! Li Qing is nowhere to be found, he may have left on his own.”

As expected. Hearing this news, some sighed, others sympathized, and some gloated. Of course, this emotion only lasted for a while before it completely dissipated. Because they have more important things to do.

Someone suggested first, “Since the Patriarch is dead, then we should elect a new Patriarch next.”

Everyone else agreed, “Indeed. Our tribe is now scattered and in urgent need of a new Patriarch to lead us to prosperity.”

“According to the usual practice, the position of Patriarch is chosen from among the three hunting captains.” The Heavenly Saber Tribe had a total of three hunting squads, representing the highest level of power in the tribe. The tribe respected strength, and only by choosing a clan leader from the hunting squad would they be able to convince the crowd.

Captain Zhang said, “I won’t run anymore. I’m old and don’t want to compete anymore. Leave the opportunity to the young people.” In fact, he had the oldest qualifications in the hunting squad, his strength was also extremely strong, and his chances of becoming the Patriarch were the highest. However, after experiencing so many things, the Heavenly Saber Tribe was also in a troubled autumn. He was no longer in the mood to become a clan leader.

One of the elders said, “Alright. Since that’s the case, there are only two captains left. Feng Han and Dongfang Fantian. We will send people to inform everyone in the tribe and elect a new Patriarch before we arrive at the Ancestral Temple tomorrow.”

…

Naturally, Li Qing did not know that the Heavenly Saber Tribe was currently undergoing a dynasty change and fighting for power. He and Liu Ke’er kissed each other affectionately under the setting sun, lingering hard until they separated for a long time.

This was their first kiss, and it was of special significance.

Liu Ke’er’s face had already turned red from embarrassment. She was drunk and blurred. She exhaled like an orchid and powerlessly fell into Li Qing’s embrace like a pool of mud.

They didn’t say anything. Under the setting sun, the two of them hugged each other tightly and were unwilling to part ways. Only when night fell did Li Qing realize that Liu Ke’er had fallen asleep. She slept so quietly, so beautifully, like a kitten, making people feel pity for her.

Li Qing gently picked her up and carried her into his mother’s room. He placed her on the bed, gently covered her with the blanket, and then retreated.

He returned to his room and lay on a familiar bed. Soon, he fell asleep, feeling incomparably safe, as if his mother was embracing him warmly.

The next morning, just as dawn fell, Li Qing opened his eyes. He hurriedly stood up and walked out. He saw that Liu Ke’er had long since woken up and was fixing the small vegetable field outside.

In the sky, the sun hadn’t risen yet.

“Let’s go. I’ll take you to watch the sunrise.” Li Qing grabbed Liu Ke’er’s hand and walked towards Purple Cloud Mountain.

Walking on the familiar mountain path, he felt as if he had returned to the past. Every morning, he climbed the Purple Cloud Mountain and practiced his fist techniques.

He quickly pulled Liu Ke’er to the top of Purple Cloud Mountain. At this moment, the sun had just risen, and it was red as it broke through the clouds, sprinkling out tens of thousands of golden rays that were extremely gorgeous.

“So beautiful.” Liu Ke’er sighed.

“That’s right. I practiced here for ten years back then, but I rarely saw a complete sunrise seriously.”

“Now I’ll watch with you.”

The two of them stood shoulder to shoulder and watched the sun rise quietly.

“Aiya, this light is too dazzling. My eyes are dazzling.”

“…” Liu Ke’er rolled her eyes at him, “Such a beautiful artistic conception was completely destroyed by your words.”

After watching the sunrise, they stopped. He returned to the cabin, packed his things, and was about to leave.

“Once we leave now, I wonder when we’ll be back.” Li Qing took a last deep look at this place, as if he wanted to imprint it deeply in his mind, and then decisively turned around and left.

They passed through the Heavenly Saber Tribe.

“Eh? There are so many people gathered there. Did something happen?” They were a little curious, so they walked forward to take a look.
