The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

Only after watching the three demon lords completely disappear above the clouds did Li Qing slowly retract his deep gaze and turn his sight to the dense and quiet bamboo forest in the distance.

There, there were several faint spiritual lights and shadows swaying gently, as if they were spying on something.

"Come out." Li Qing said in his hoarse and majestic voice towards the depths of the bamboo forest.

Although his voice was not loud, it seemed to travel through space and reach the ears of the people in the bamboo forest directly.

In the bamboo forest, Wu Yunzi and his fellow brothers were all startled when they heard this.

They knew that their whereabouts had been exposed and there was no point in hiding any further.

So, they quickly exchanged glances and completed the voice transmission. Then the four of them nodded slightly and fled towards the courtyard together.

There were four people in total, each with a different body shape, but all of them revealed an extraordinary temperament.

Li Qing knew two of them. They were the disciples of Xuan Fuzi, Chang Yunzi and Wu Yunzi, whom he had met when he first came to Tianyi Temple to learn the secret methods of the Sutra Repository.

As for the other two, one was burly with a simple and honest look, while the other looked a little feminine with flickering eyes.

This short distance was naturally reached in an instant for these four extraordinary cultivators.

After they arrived at the courtyard, they bowed to Li Qing politely and said, "Junior greets Senior Youying."

Although their voices were trembling, they did not lose their manners.

Looking at the four people's respectful attitude, Li Qing waved his hand and signaled them to stand up.

His eyes swept over the four people, and he couldn't help but sigh at the passing of time.

He had discovered these four people early on, and in fact he could have left just now, but for some reason, he suddenly remembered his promise to Xuan Fuzi.

Although that promise was just a verbal statement, Li Qing always kept it in his heart.

After thinking about it, he decided to stay and inform them of the news that this world was about to face a demonic calamity.

In this way, it can be regarded as a kind of explanation to Xuan Fuzi, and I have done my utmost.

Whether they can survive the future calamity depends on their luck.

Li Qing said slowly: "I believe you have seen the great battle that took place here just now. The Liangjie Mountain in the Spirit World has been breached, and the Ascension Platform has been occupied..."

Although his words were calm, they revealed a heavy atmosphere.

As he spoke, the four people finally understood their situation and their faces immediately turned into ones of horror.

Especially the man who looked a little feminine, he was even more vulnerable and immediately collapsed to the ground, trying to hug Li Qing's thigh for help.

However, Li Qing took a step back and prevented him from succeeding.

Seeing this, the man immediately crawled forward two steps. Seeing that he still did not touch the Shadow Tower Master, he stopped insisting and cried, "Please save my life, Master. Master said that as long as there is a disaster that threatens the sect, we can ask the Tower Master for help. I beg you..."

"Shut up!" Li Qing interrupted the man before he could finish his words.

Li Qing looked at this person, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes.

He really didn't expect that there would be such a despicable person among Xuan Fuzi's disciples.

He couldn't even imagine how this person had cultivated to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. With such a character, it was really difficult for him to take on such a big responsibility.

Ignoring the man's plea, Li Qing looked at Wu Yunzi and Chang Yunzi, who he was more familiar with, and said, "Now that the three incarnation gods in the human world have all fallen, the Heavenly Demon has been exposed and will definitely launch an invasion immediately."

"The only plan you can use to survive is to go to the demon world and seek refuge from the demons. It's up to you to decide whether to listen to me or not. If you do, you must act quickly! Otherwise, the demons will attack and you will surely die."

There was an unquestionable majesty in Li Qing's words. His words seemed like an order that the four people could not resist.

They knew that what Li Qing said was true and their current situation was indeed very critical.

The only way to survive is to follow Li Qing's advice and seek refuge in the demon world.

However, the feminine man still collapsed on the ground, as if crushed by an invisible burden.

His eyes were empty, as if he had lost all his courage and hope, leaving only endless despair and exhaustion permeating every subtle expression.

He slowly raised his head, and the eyes that once sparkled with cunning now looked at Li Qing with despair and fear, as if he was facing an inescapable fate.

His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but his throat was strangled by invisible fear.

Suddenly, in an instant, the expression of the feminine man suddenly changed, and the emotions in the corners of his eyes became extremely complicated, with deep hatred, sudden murderous intent, and a twisted pleasure intertwined together, forming an indescribable weird expression.

Suddenly, he opened his mouth wide, as if all the resentment and anger accumulated in his body, and a stream of black mucus gushed out instantly, carrying a pungent stench, and went straight towards Li Qing.

This sudden attack, at such a close distance, caught people off guard.

Li Qing already felt extremely disgusted with this person, so he simply ignored his existence when he spoke before.

Now facing this sudden attack at such a close distance, Li Qing had no time to react and was splashed all over by the black slime.

Fortunately, the mucus did not come into direct contact with Li Qing's skin. All of it was blocked by the ghost robe he wore that covered his entire body, completely resisting the attack of the mucus.

Precisely because of the barrier of the ghost robe, Li Qing did not feel any discomfort. He reacted quickly, and with a thought, he directly launched the "Soul-Stirring and Bone-Eroding Wind" at the feminine man in front of him.

This was an invisible attack that specifically targeted the soul. The feminine man suddenly felt an indescribable pain surging from the depths of his soul.

At the same time, Li Qing activated the ghost robe, and the black robe on his body suddenly turned into a thick black mist, completely wrapping his body. Under the cover of the black mist, his body turned into a breeze and disappeared silently, leaving only the feminine man struggling in pain.

"Ahhhhh!!"

A heart-wrenching scream was heard in the field. It was the painful cry of the feminine man whose soul and the heart-eating demon attached to it were injured by the "Soul-Eroding Wind".

The three human cultivators standing by were staring in amazement at what was happening before their eyes. They had no idea how to react and couldn't understand why their Third Junior Brother would suddenly jump up and launch such a fierce attack on the Lord of the Shadow Tower.

Since Guipao and Li Qing had both turned invisible, the black mucus lost its target and flowed weakly to the ground, making a "hissing" sound and corroding every inch of land it touched.

The black mist directly enveloped the feminine man, completely wrapping him up, leaving only waves of heart-wrenching screams echoing in the air.
