The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 078

Chapter 078 End Of Banquet
This gaze was really too hot. It was filled with desire, burning Li Qing like he was in pain. He hurriedly turned his head and didn’t dare to look again.

Afterwards, he discovered that everyone beside him had shocked expressions, as if they had seen a ghost.

“To actually be able to compete with Xiantian experts is simply too powerful!” Their eyes were filled with reverence.

“What’s ridiculous is that Wu Tianzhuo actually wants to challenge him. He is really courting death.” Someone sneered.

Father Liu felt his scalp go numb. He didn’t expect Li Qing to be so powerful, just like Liu Ke’er said. Doesn’t this mean that even he himself isn’t Li Qing’s match?

Although he was a Xiantian expert, he was the worst. He didn’t have much combat strength and probably wasn’t Li Qing’s opponent.

“If Li Qing finds out about my plan, what will he do to take revenge on me?” When Father Liu thought of this, he couldn’t help but be shocked. He had some regrets and didn’t know if he should continue.

The Yunzhou City Lord held the black shadow man’s neck like he was carrying a chick. It was extremely relaxed.

The black fog covering the black shadow man’s body dissipated, revealing a withered old face.

“Tell me, who are you? Why did you assassinate my daughter?” The Yunzhou City Lord questioned.

“If I don’t change my name, I won’t change my surname. Thousand-Faced Ghost Fox Zhu Yuan is also!” The black shadow man sneered, “As for why I tried to assassinate your daughter, of course I have a grudge.”

He was very open-minded and didn’t conceal anything, telling the whole story.

“Thousand Faced Ghost Fox!” Everyone was shocked. It turned out to be this person! Most of the people present had heard of him.

This Thousand-Faced Ghost Fox was very famous in Cloud Continent. It was rumored that he was very good at disguising himself, and could easily turn around and change his face. No one could see any flaws, so he had the title of Thousand-Faced Ghost Fox.

Relying on this ability, he had actually done many famous great things. In the Houtian realm, he had played with many Xiantian experts and acted recklessly.

He stirred up trouble everywhere and had many enemies, but no one could kill him because he was very cunning and never showed his true face.

However, martial artists had many methods, and all sorts of miraculous things appeared one after another. Someone used a special method to determine his identity and assembled men to hunt him down. He was so anxious by his enemies that he joined the Myriad Demons Sect, the Diabolism Sect.

Therefore, the black mist that covered the Thousand-Faced Ghost Fox’s body was actually the result of cultivating demonic arts.

“What enmity can my daughter have with you?” The Yunzhou City Lord was puzzled.

“He killed my son!” The Thousand-Faced Ghost Fox said hatefully.

“Your son? How come I’ve never heard of this?”

“Just a while ago, your daughter led troops to attack Mount Shunquan and killed all the people inside. Is there anything wrong?”

The Yunzhou City Lord looked at Zhou Jintong.

“That’s right.” She nodded, “But the people in Mount Shunquan are just a bunch of bandits. What does it have to do with your son?”

“Haha? What does it matter? My son was inside! In the end, he was killed by you!”

Zhou Jintong rolled her eyes and said, “Who knew that your son would be related to a group of bandits? That’s his fault.”

Everyone had strange expressions on their faces. They all knew that bringing the Yunlong Army to sweep away bandits and bandits was Zhou Jintong’s favorite job. They didn’t expect that they would finally be kicked to the ground.

“Blame yourself? Haha, you’re right. Unfortunately, I didn’t kill you. Otherwise, you would still be standing here and saying such words to me?” The Thousand-Faced Ghost Fox said contemptuously.

“Now that the matter is clear, then there is nothing more to say. For the sake of your cooperation, what else do you have to say?” Yun Zhou City Lord asked.

“Before I came here, I didn’t think of leaving alive. If I had any last words, I would have already given them to someone else. Do I need you?” He sneered.

City Lord Yun Zhou stopped talking nonsense and used his strength to break his neck. He casually tossed the corpse away and instructed, “Take it down.”

Someone walked up and dragged away the Thousand Faced Ghost Fox’s corpse.

“Rumor has it that the Thousand-Faced Ghost Fox is very cunning. Who would have thought that he would actually die here today?” Someone sighed.

“Yes, I didn’t expect that he would have a son. He could not even give up his life for revenge. Such a cunning person actually has an affectionate side.”

“Emotion is the weakness of human beings. It should be abandoned!” Someone said coldly.

The Yunzhou City Lord asked, “How did he sneak in?”

Everyone turned their heads and looked at the location of the Lin Clan, because that was where the Black Shadow Man attacked.

The Lin Clan’s Clan Master said with an embarrassed expression, “City Lord, forgive me. This person was disguised as a member of our Lin Clan. I didn’t notice in time that he caused this calamity. It was all my fault. Please punish him.”

Yun Zhou City Lord nodded and said, “I will send someone to investigate afterwards. If what you said is true, then it is not your fault. However, due to your carelessness, there should still be punishment.”

“Yes, I am willing to be punished.” The Lin Clan’s Clan Head said respectfully.

The Lin Family Patriarch had no reason to collude with others to assassinate Zhou Jintong. There was no grudge between them. Moreover, if the Lin Clan wanted to assassinate him, it was impossible for them to adopt such a stupid method.

Obviously, it was indeed the Thousand-Faced Ghost Fox who secretly killed someone from the Lin Clan who had come to the banquet and then disguised himself as this person and mixed in.

With the Thousand-Faced Ghost Fox’s methods, it wasn’t surprising that others couldn’t recognize it.

“This method is truly frightening. If he disguises himself as anyone, wouldn’t he also be unable to see through it?” Someone was worried.

“It will be useful in a short period of time. After a long period of time, it will be easy to see through. It is not without flaws. There is no need to worry too much.”

“This Thousand-Faced Ghost Fox is so old and thin. It can actually disguise itself as another person without being seen through. You can imagine how brilliant its methods are.”

…

Yun Zhou City Lord looked at Li Qing and praised him, “Little Junior Brother, with your Houtian realm cultivation, you are actually able to compete with Xiantian experts. You are truly amazing. If it weren’t for you saving my daughter today, she would have already died. Tell me, how can I thank you?”

Li Qing said, “Since you recognize me as your junior apprentice-brother, then Jin Tong can be considered my junior. No matter what, I should save my junior.”

Everyone secretly laughed. If Zhou Jintong became Li Qing’s junior, wouldn’t it be impossible to get married? This brat had put in a lot of effort to refuse this marriage.

“Let’s talk about each other.” “You seem to be looking for the white chalcedony, don’t you?” Yun Zhou City’s backbone laughed.

“That’s right.” Li Qing’s eyes lit up and he said, “I wonder if there is such a thing in the City Lord’s Mansion?”

“Of course.” City Lord Yun Zhou nodded, “Someone, bring over the White Jade Marrow from the manor.”

“Yes!” Someone immediately replied and left.

Not long after, someone returned, holding four portions of white jade marrow in his hand and handing them to the City Lord of Yunzhou.

He casually handed the white jade marrow to Li Qing.

Li Qing did not pretend to be affectionate and immediately received it, feeling happy in his heart. With so many white chalcedony, the materials needed to cultivate the first revolution of the Divine Elephant were enough.

“Thank you, Senior Brother!” He cupped his hands and said.

“You deserve this.” Yun Zhou City Lord said with a smile.

Everyone looked at Li Qing with envy. This time, not only did he recognize Yunzhou City Lord as his senior brother, he also saved Zhou Jintong’s life. In the future, he could really walk around Yunzhou City without anyone daring to provoke him.

It could be predicted that after tonight, Li Qing’s reputation would spread throughout Yunzhou City.

“Alright.” City Lord Yun Zhou said to the crowd, “Let’s end tonight’s banquet. Everyone, let’s disperse.”

With such a thing happening, it was naturally impossible for the banquet to continue.

“Goodbye!” Everyone cupped their hands and left.

Zhou Jintong looked at Li Qing with a burning gaze and said loudly, “I won’t give up just like that!”

Li Qing didn’t even turn around and directly left.

…

On the way back, Li Qing asked, “Why is the Thousand-Faced Ghost Fox so strange, covered in a layer of black mist?”

“This person joined the Myriad Devil Sect and cultivated devil arts. That’s why he did this.” Father Liu said. His tone unconsciously carried a bit of seriousness, not as casual as before.

Now that he saw Li Qing, he felt a little scared. With a ghost in his heart, he would naturally feel uneasy.

“Myriad Demon Sect!” Li Qing muttered to himself. He knew about this Diabolism sect.

“To be exact, it should be a branch of the Myriad Demon Sect in the Cloud Continent!” Father Liu added.

Li Qing nodded and understood. This was the first time he had seen someone from Diabolism.

There are righteousness and evil in this world. The history of the Devil Dao is also very long, dating back to ancient times.

This Myriad Demon Sect’s background wasn’t small.

According to rumors, the Myriad Demons Sect was passed down from ancient times. The oldest sect in the world, Diabolism Sect, was said to have been created by the Myriad Demons Ancestor.

Of course, those who knew the truth would not believe this. The reason for that was because the Myriad Demon Sect created by the Demon Ancestor had already been destroyed in the long river of history. The Myriad Demon Sect now was merely using the name of the ancient Myriad Demon Sect.

Those in the Devil Dao believed in the Devil Ancestor as the source of the Devil Dao. Whoever obtained the Devil Ancestor’s mantle was the orthodox Devil Dao. That was why such a thing happened.

In fact, the name Myriad Demon Sect had been borrowed many times. Every once in a while, Diabolism would jump out, claiming to have obtained the Demon Ancestor’s inheritance. It was the Myriad Demons Orthodox Sect.

After this power was destroyed, another Diabolism power would replace it, claiming to have obtained the Demon Ancestor’s inheritance.

After experiencing this for generations, the current sect was known as the oldest sect in Diabolism that had been passed down from ancient times. However, those who knew the truth understood that this was just a joke.

It was a common understanding that the Diabolism Sect could not survive for long. The reason for that was because the Diabolism faction was basically being beaten up by everyone. Being eliminated from the Demon Guards by righteous people in the world, they could only survive for a long time, and they would be annihilated in a short period of time.

Hence, how could the Myriad Demon Sect have inherited it since ancient times? Thinking about it was impossible.

Even the Righteous Dao Sect would not be able to last long, let alone the Diabolism Sect. The Dao Sect, known as the number one sect in history, had long since been annihilated. It could be seen that no matter how powerful the power was, it was useless.

Only a special sect like the Eight Desolate Sect was able to survive until now without end. Li Qing also didn’t understand why the Eight Desolate Sect could be passed down for so long and not extinct.

He thought about this question for a long time, but he couldn’t understand it.

…

After returning to the Green Bamboo Garden, Li Qing immediately began to prepare the Body Casting Spiritual Liquid. He didn’t want to waste time. That night, he cultivated the Nine Revolutions of the Divine Elephant again, and his strength increased a little.

The next day, someone from the City Lord’s Mansion asked to see Li Qing.
