The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 050

Chapter 050 Lack Of Popular Will
Li Qing instantly knocked down all the enemies, as if he had done a trivial thing with an indifferent expression.

Everyone from the Heavenly Saber Tribe was dumbfounded as they watched all of this. They felt as if they were in a dream, and they had even forgotten to applaud and cheer.

“Is it true?” Someone asked in disbelief.

“How could he be so strong? Is he still a human?”

Li Qing said to the bald man, “Go back and tell everyone in the five great tribes that I will protect the Heavenly Saber Tribe in the future. Don’t come looking for trouble again, understand?” With that, he stretched out his foot and stepped on the ground. With a “boom”, it was as if the earth was shaking and a large pit had been stepped on the ground.

Everyone instantly turned petrified. What kind of strength was this? To be able to cause such great damage in such a short period of time was simply like a devil. Who in the world could defeat him?

“I know, I know!” How could the bald man dare to object? He nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice. He felt that Li Qing was like an ancient beast, almost fleeing in fright.

“Alright, you can scram now.” Li Qing waved his hand like he was chasing flies. After this, he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when he imagined that they would not dare to attack again in the future, and that they would be able to help the Heavenly Saber Tribe overcome this difficult situation.

When the people of the five great tribes saw that they could finally leave, they were granted amnesty and ran like crazy with their lives on the ground, running away in a flash.

“That’s great!” Everyone cheered as they looked at Li Qing as if they were looking at a great hero.

“The heavens have eyes. Although Li Yuanlong is dead, his son is still here to protect our tribe.” A clan elder’s face was filled with tears.

Feng Han walked out and cupped his hands to Li Qing. “Brother Li Qing, you’re really amazing. You easily defeated the people of the five great tribes and saved the Heavenly Saber Tribe. I don’t know how to thank you anymore.”

Li Qing said, “It’s just a matter of raising your hand. It’s not worth mentioning.”

Feng Han shouted to the crowd, “Today is a good day. We don’t need to be bullied by the five great tribes anymore. Why don’t we go back and hold a celebration banquet to thank our tribal hero Li Qing now?”

“Alright!” Everyone shouted in unison, their enthusiasm surging.

Originally, Li Qing wanted to refuse, but he was in a hurry to leave. However, everyone invited them one after another, feeling extremely gracious and helpless, so they could only follow them back to hold a celebration banquet.

…

In the square in front of the ancestral temple, dozens of large tables were quickly placed, and the celebration banquet was held here.

The clansmen were all very enthusiastic, killing sheep and slaughtering cattle, taking out large fish and meat without holding back. Very quickly, plates of delicious food were served and placed on the table, so much so that they could not be put down.

There must be some good wine, too. It was actually lifted up one by one and placed large bowls on it for you to drink.

Everyone sat down and ate a big mouthful of meat and a big bowl of wine. It was very lively and the atmosphere was extremely lively.

This was Liu Ke’er’s first time attending such a lively banquet. She felt that it was very novel and looked around in a good mood.

Many people came up to toast Li Qing. Li Qing did not refuse and his stomach swelled from drinking. Fortunately, he had a deep cultivation base and circulated his True Qi to force out the alcohol, but he wasn’t drunk.

Halfway through the wine, Feng Han stood up and said to the crowd, “Come, let’s toast Brother Li Qing a bowl!”

“Alright!” Everyone raised their big bowls in greeting and drank them all in one gulp.

After drinking, Feng Han stretched out his hand and said to everyone, “Everyone, be quiet. I have something to say.”

Everyone fell silent and looked at Feng Han.

Feng Han said, “Brother Li Qing, your strength is so strong that the people of the five great tribes are like chickens and dogs in front of you, unable to withstand a single blow. Therefore, I would like to ask you for a small favor.”

“Oh? What are you busy with?” Li Qing asked.

Feng Jin said, “As you can see, we have been bullied by the five great tribes for the past ten years. Only today have we been able to turn around. Now that we have you, not only do we no longer need to be afraid, we can also avenge the past. Why don’t we take the initiative to sweep the five great tribes and completely suppress them so that they can submit to us and realize their wish for reunification?”

“Good idea!” Everyone applauded. Their eyes lit up, and their ambitions were seduced. If they could really unify many tribes, how glorious would that be? I believe this is not difficult for Li Qing, because they have all seen his strength.

Everyone looked at Li Qing, their eyes filled with hope, waiting for his affirmative reply.

Facing this situation, if an ordinary person were to be coerced by this atmosphere, it would be very difficult for them to refuse.

Li Qing was very calm and didn’t get incited. He shook his head decisively and said, “I don’t have that much time to do this, so I can’t agree to this request.”

Everyone was extremely disappointed. They didn’t expect Li Qing to refuse so decisively and not give them any face.

“Brother Li Qing, are you in a hurry to leave? Why don’t you stay for a few more days?” Feng Han’s expression was a little ugly and pretended to be surprised.

Li Qing said, “I have something urgent to do. I need to leave immediately. I’m afraid I won’t be able to stay here for long. I’m very sorry.”

Feng Han sighed and said, “That’s really a pity.”

Suddenly, someone said with a strange tone, “It’s too irresponsible. Back then, when Li Yuanlong guarded the tribe and died, Fang Xiu didn’t expect his son to have a body full of strength, but he didn’t care about us at all.”

As the scene was very quiet, everyone heard this.

Some people’s expressions changed slightly. They felt that these words were too excessive, afraid that they would anger Li Qing. However, some people felt that these words made sense, and they couldn’t help but feel a little angry at Li Qing in their hearts.

“Shut up!” Li Qing shouted loudly, like a thunderbolt from the blue. A cold light flashed in his eyes as his anger surged up, but he quickly restrained himself.

He took a deep breath and said calmly, “You really have the face to say these words!” You can’t be clearer about what happened back then. My father guarded the tribe for many years, and even sacrificed his life. However, the tribe actually treated him as a sinner, and he didn’t have a good ending. “I thought that you were deceived by the Patriarch, so I didn’t pursue this matter. I didn’t expect that you would dare to bring it up again today!”

His gaze swept across the crowd, and wherever they passed, everyone lowered their heads, revealing expressions of shame.

An elder stood up and became a peacemaker, saying, “Today is a joyous day. Why say such unhappy things? Come, let’s continue drinking.”

However, Li Qing did not want to stay any longer. He had already helped the Heavenly Saber Tribe so much that he didn’t owe them anything. It could even be said that he was grateful. Since they were ungrateful and dared to get close to an inch, there was no point in staying here.

He stood up immediately and said slowly, “Forget it, let’s call it a day. I’ll be staying for a while. Goodbye!” After saying this, he turned around to leave.

“Wait!” Feng Han shouted from behind.

“Is there anything else?” Li Qing said coldly without turning back.

Feng Han said, “Since you are unwilling to stay and help the tribe, then I won’t ask you to stay. However, you pulled out the Heavenly Saber from our tribe and took it away for so many years. I want to ask if you still have the saber.”

“So what?” Li Qing frowned, but replied patiently.

Feng Han said, “You also know that the Heavenly Saber is our tribe’s ancestral sacred artifact, not your own. Since you want to leave the tribe, I won’t stop you, but you must leave the Heavenly Saber behind!”

“What?” Li Qing thought that he had heard wrongly. This person actually dared to ask for a Heavenly Saber from him? Could it be that he really thought that he was made of mud and had no temper at all?

“Don’t be angry. I’m trying to reason with you.” Feng Han smiled faintly, as if he was seeking truth from facts. “Everyone, listen, is what I said reasonable? The Heavenly Saber is originally a sacred object of our tribe, so it is a reasonable request for you to return it. I think you are an upright person, so you shouldn’t refuse us, right?”

“That’s right, return the Heavenly Saber!” Some people were incited and shouted loudly.

Captain Zhang felt panicked when he saw this. He felt that Feng Han was really crazy. Did he really think that Li Qing was a great benefactor? Have they forgotten the tragedy that happened in front of the ancestral temple more than ten years ago?

But now, the situation was out of control, and he had no choice but to protect himself and quietly leave.

A smug smile appeared on Feng Han’s lips, and he felt that everything was under control. He used the general trend of people’s hearts to force Li Qing, and his methods were extremely brilliant. So what if Li Qing was angry? Could he still be able to kill him in public? If Li Qing was unwilling to hand over the Heavenly Saber, he would definitely be spurned by the Heavenly Saber Tribe.

Evidently, regardless of whether he succeeded or failed, he would definitely not lose.

Li Qing looked coldly at these people, as if he was looking at a group of clowns. He sighed and said, “How many fools are there in this world.”

As he spoke, he took out his Heavenly Saber from his interspatial ring and laid it horizontally in front of him. He looked at Feng Han mockingly, “The Heavenly Saber is right here. If you have the ability, come and get it.”

Feng Han finally saw the Heavenly Saber of his dreams, and his heart was filled with excitement. He had always guessed that Li Qing’s ability to be so powerful was most likely due to Heavenly Saber. If he obtained the Heavenly Saber, then he would definitely be even stronger. At that time, wouldn’t he be invincible under the heavens?

He had a beautiful dream in his heart. His eyes were blinded by greed. When he saw Li Qing taking out his Heavenly Saber, he thought that he was going to hand it to him, so he reached out to receive it.

A purple light flashed in Li Qing’s eyes and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. “Heavenly Saber is my life. If you dare to plot to take my Heavenly Saber, you are trying to kill me!”

Feng Han woke up from his shock and felt that the situation was not good. He wanted to retreat, but it was already too late. Li Qing slashed out with his saber, and a purple light flashed across Feng Han’s neck.

Such a big head flew up. Feng Han’s face was filled with astonishment. He couldn’t understand why Li Qing actually dared to kill him!

Blood sprayed all over the floor, scaring everyone. They panicked and retreated like a flock of frightened chicks.

Li Qing didn’t even look at them and sneered, “Any scheme is weak in the face of absolute power!” Without hesitation, he left.

He pulled Liu Ke’er through the crowd. Everyone looked at them with reverence, and no one dared to stop them.

Just like that, everyone watched as the two of them gradually disappeared into the distance, disappearing from their line of sight.

“Greed is killing people!” An elder sighed.

“Isn’t this the shortest-lived Patriarch in history?”

“We’re going to elect a new Patriarch again. If Captain Zhang doesn’t want to be the Patriarch, then it seems that only Dongfang Fantian is left.”

…

Li Qing left the Heavenly Saber Tribe with Liu Ke’er.

“These people are really too bad. Retaliate for your kindness!” Liu Ke’er said angrily.

“People’s hearts are insignificant.” Li Qing’s mood was somewhat depressed. He shook his head and said, “Forget it, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s go.”

They set foot on the journey to Cloud Continent City.

Seeing that the Heavenly Saber Tribe behind him was getting farther and farther away, Li Qing knew that he might never return there again. He didn’t have the slightest bit of nostalgia in his heart, because there was nothing worth nostalgia for anymore.
