After Liu Ke’er swallowed the Spirit Cleansing Immortal Pill, wisps of black gas continuously surged out of her forehead. It was the power of the Heavenly Demon Seed that was expelled, and it lasted for about half an hour before it stopped.

At this point, the Heavenly Demon Seed had been completely removed from her soul.

Liu Ke’er slowly opened her eyes and smiled, “I feel much more relaxed. I don’t feel like I’m bound like I used to.”

Li Qing heaved a sigh of relief, “The Spirit Cleansing Immortal Pill is indeed the bane of the Heavenly Demon Seed. It is not in vain for me to go all out to obtain it.”

“Holy Mother White Lotus has a special feeling towards the Heavenly Demon Seed. With my current state, if I were to appear in front of Holy Mother White Lotus, would she discover me?” A trace of worry appeared on Liu Ke’er’s face.

“Don’t worry, after coming out this time, we don’t intend to go back. Whether we will have the chance to see Holy Mother White Lotus in the future is not certain.” Li Qing stroked her hair.

“With Void Realm experts watching, can we really escape?”

“Do you underestimate my strength? Although I can’t defeat Patriarch Lanxin and the other Saint Messengers, it’s very difficult for them to stop me if they want to escape.” Li Qing said confidently.

“That’s good.”

After a period of warmth with Liu Ke’er, Li Qing reluctantly parted from her and walked out of the main hall.

“Stop!” Not long after he came out, he was stopped by a figure.

It was Patriarch Lanxin!

“What did you say to Her Highness the Holy Maiden when you entered the main hall alone?” She said coldly, her eyebrows filled with a fierce expression as she stared at Li Qing with a hostile expression. “What did you say to Her Highness the Holy Maiden?”

“Looks like this woman is suspicious!” Li Qing’s heart sank.

“Hurry up and answer me! Don’t try to play any tricks!” Patriarch Lanxin said sternly.

“I didn’t say anything. I was just thanking me for saving my life. This is just a normal thing.” Li Qing said without changing his expression.

“Is there anything else?”

‘”Well…” Li Qing pondered for a moment and said, “She feels that I am very similar to a person she knew before. I have a familiar temperament and want to see my true face.”

Patriarch Lanxin’s expression changed. He stared at Li Qing and asked, “How did you answer? Did you really take off the mask?”

“Of course not!” Li Qing immediately shook his head. “The Virgin gave me an order not to recognize Her Highness the Holy Daughter. How could I violate it?”

Patriarch Lanxin took a deep look at Li Qing and slowly said, “You’d better not have indiscriminate thoughts about the Holy Maiden, otherwise you will definitely regret it!”

“I will obey the instruction of the Saint Envoy!” Li Qing replied respectfully.

After she left, Li Qing heaved a sigh of relief. This old fellow’s consciousness was too sharp, and he immediately discovered the problem.

The main reason why she did not pursue this matter was because in her understanding, Li Qing and Holy Daughter White Lotus had both been planted with Heavenly Demon Seeds. It was impossible for them to disobey the orders of Holy Mother, let alone do anything that would harm the interests of the White Lotus Sect.

She trusted the Heavenly Demon Seed too much and naturally believed that the world would not be able to escape the control of the Heavenly Demon Seed, so much so that she made the wrong decision.

…

A day later, the White Lotus Sect set off for the battlefield where Tai Yi Sect was located.

Compared to a few days ago, this team was much more miserable. The number of people was less than half of the original number. Moreover, there were many people with injuries on their bodies. They were no longer as glorious as before.

The distance of less than a hundred li took only half a day to arrive.

Before they could get close to the battlefield, they could already feel the intensity of the battle here. There were ruins everywhere, smoke rising everywhere. Occasionally, a few corpses could be seen lying on the roadside, with no one to clean them up.

Above the sky, a gloomy cloud seemed to be faintly covered in a wisp of blood, as if it was dyed with fresh blood.

As one of the most powerful sects in Qingzhou, Tai Yi Sect’s mountain gates should have beautiful scenery, pleasant scenery, and filled with the aura of an immortal family.

But now, it was a desolate scene, and many trees fell, turning into withered branches and leaves. The magnificent buildings were shattered into ruins.

War always had a painful price to pay. Those who have not truly experienced war will never understand the horrors of war.

When the White Lotus Sect’s troops arrived at the battlefield, they saw a scene of banners lined up. Tens of thousands of troops formed a wide encirclement and surrounded a small hill in the center of the battlefield.

Above the mountain was the last batch of experts from the Tai Yi Sect, relying on the might of the Tai Yi Divine Sword to defend themselves.

After so many days of war, the Tai Yi Sword Formation had been compressed to a range of three miles, but instead, it gathered its strength. The power of the Sword Qi was several times stronger than before, making it difficult for the Zhao Wei Alliance Army to break through.

It had to be said that the power of a Dao Artifact was indeed formidable. It had fought against two countries for such a long time on its own.

“There are only three Void Realm experts left in the Tai Yi Sect. It is impossible for them to continuously activate the power of Dao Artifacts. It seems that this war should be coming to an end soon.” Said Patriarch Lanxin.

“What if the three Void Realm cultivators escape?” Liu Ke’er asked.

“Don’t worry, we’ve already laid down a heavenly net. Heaven and earth can’t fly without wings.” Patriarch Lanxin pointed out, “Look at the hundreds of war fortresses built around them. Within the fortresses, they are the famous Divine Martial Cannons!”

Li Qing couldn’t help but follow the direction she pointed out and see that there was indeed a large fortress group built around the mountain top, overlapping and almost completely surrounded.

“How powerful is the Divine Martial Cannon? Can it deal with Void Realm experts?” Li Qing asked.

Patriarch Lanxin replied, “Every time the Divine Martial Cannon strikes, it will consume 30,000 spirit stones. Moreover, it will require the full strength of 100 Xiantian experts to activate it. How do you feel about this kind of strength compared to Void Realm experts?”

“Thirty thousand spirit stones? A hundred Xiantian?” Hearing these numbers, Li Qing couldn’t help but feel shocked.

‘”In terms of strength alone, I’m afraid it has already surpassed the Void Realm experts. However, the comparison of strength is meaningless. Void Realm experts have many methods. No matter how powerful the Divine Martial Cannon is, what’s the use of not hitting someone?”

“Of course, one Divine Martial Cannon can’t harm a Void Realm expert, but what about ten? What about a hundred?” Patriarch Lanxin’s expression was somewhat complicated. “A hundred Divine Martial Cannons covered the entire area with overwhelming attacks. No matter how much he dodged, where could he dodge to?”

Hearing Patriarch Lanxin’s words, Li Qing sucked in a breath of cold air. He had no choice but to admit in his heart that what she said was completely correct. A hundred Divine Martial Cannons were fired at the same time. There was no need to aim at them anymore, because the firepower covered all areas, and there was simply nowhere to escape!

A Void Realm expert standing high above them actually didn’t seem to be able to retaliate in front of these terrifying war machines?

Just thinking about it made people feel terrible!

Fortunately, this kind of thing was not something that ordinary people could possess, because the threshold was simply too high. A cannon would cost 30,000 spirit stones. Who could afford to consume it like this?

Moreover, a single shot of this thing didn’t pose much of a threat to Void Realm experts. At least ten Divine Might Cannons were needed to create an effective lethality. In fact, even if ten cannons were fired at the same time, they might not be able to kill Void Realm experts.

Perhaps only the power of a hundred Divine Martial Cannons was truly earth-shattering, and Void Realm experts had no chance of escaping.

One shot was 30,000 spirit stones, then a hundred shots … wouldn’t that be three million?

Even the super large sects could not afford such a consumption. Perhaps only the state could do it.

“War is all about money.” Li Qing sighed.

He originally thought that his wealth was already considered to be extremely rich, but compared to the things in front of him, it was simply not worth mentioning.

“Although the Divine Martial Cannon is powerful, its flaws are enormous. It is very troublesome to set up. It will take at least three days to build turrets and set up corresponding formations. Only a siege or a protracted confrontation like this is enough,” said Patriarch Lanxin.

“No wonder the Central Region is the most prosperous place in the world. With so many weapons of war around, it is already very difficult for a single person to turn the tide of war!” Li Qing sighed.

“Actually, the current battle is just a small fight. You have never seen the war between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Qin Dynasty before. It’s really a war of ten thousand cannons. If Void Realm experts enter the battlefield, they will be instantly blown to pieces.”

The Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Qin Dynasty were the two most powerful countries in the Central Region. They had been in a confrontation for a long time and there were endless wars.

Li Qing couldn’t help but think in his heart. If he had the chance, he would definitely go to those two countries to take a look.

As they talked, a loud horn came from afar. Then, tens of thousands of troops surged out of the barracks like a black tide, forming a uniform formation and launching an attack on the Tai Yi Sword Formation.

Boom! Boom!

Like a bulldozer, the enormous battle formation stepped forward in unison, steadily advancing towards the hilltop, entering the range of the Tai Yi Sword Formation. Instantly, a violent collision occurred.

Sword Qi appeared one after another. It was as if the void could be cut into pieces and landed in the battle formation, stirring up pieces of blood.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Countless arrows poured out like a storm, landing in the sword formation and colliding with endless sword qi.

These weren’t ordinary arrows, but broken astral arrows that specialized in restraining martial artists’ True Essence. Each broken astral arrow was worth a lot of money, but at this moment, it seemed like it was sprinkled out without any money.

Waves after waves of attacks rushed over like tides, rushing towards the small mountain peak. It lasted for about an hour before slowly stopping.

It could be seen that the Tai Yi Sword Formation had already dimmed a little. It seemed that it had consumed too much energy and was unable to sustain its strength.

The White Lotus Sect members stood at the edge of the battlefield. Seeing the army launch an attack, they did not rush forward and planned to go over after the war ended.

Right at this moment, they saw a silver cannon slowly rise from the hundreds of war fortresses around them. The muzzle of each cannon reached about ten feet.

Just by placing it there, a dangerous aura was emitted, and the black muzzle made one’s scalp numb.
