The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

On this day, the sky seemed darker than usual, with thick clouds, as if foreshadowing some unusual changes were about to take place.

In the deep and quiet training room, Li Qing sat upright on an ancient cushion, with a faint demonic aura surrounding him.

Although his eyes were closed, his mind had traveled thousands of miles and was closely connected with the ghost slaves hiding in the remote and secluded mountains.

The ghost slave, the being controlled by Li Qing, is now lurking in the depths of the dense forest. A pair of dark green eyes penetrate the gaps between the branches and leaves, staring closely at the passage between the two worlds that is looming in the sky.

As the sun sets, night falls quietly, and there is only one day left before the critical moment between the two worlds ends.

Li Qing's heart was tense and tense, and he knew very well that the devil would never leave the demon world alone and would definitely take action.

He used the ghost slaves as his eyes, intending to understand the movements of the demons at critical moments and to be fully prepared for the possible crisis that was about to come.

In the outside world, under the passage between the two worlds, the elite troops of both humans and demons had already been standing on the clouds, ready for battle.

They are wearing armor and holding sharp weapons, and their eyes show both fear of the unknown and determination to protect the demon world.

The air was filled with a tense and solemn atmosphere. Every demon and human knew that their existence was the first line of defense to stop the rampage of the demons and served as a buffer when the demons invaded.

This will give the various forces below time to react, and they are also ready to sacrifice.

However, as time passed, until the decisive moment arrived, the passage between the two worlds slowly closed under the nervous gaze of everyone, and finally disappeared into the sky, leaving behind a sky that had returned to peace.

What was shocking was that the expected demon army did not come like a tide, and the whole scene was so quiet that even the wind seemed to have stopped breathing.

This sudden change stunned all the people from both the demon and human races present. They looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.

For a long time, they have worked countless hours for this moment to come, not daring to slack off in the slightest, and even prepared for the worst.

But at this moment, the absence of Tianmo was like a sudden gift, making it difficult for them to adapt to this sudden peace.

After a moment's silence, a burst of cheers from the heart finally broke the silence. It spread quickly like wildfire, igniting everyone's joy.

The humans and demons hugged each other, tears and smiles mixed together, celebrating this unexpected victory.

The demons did not invade, which meant that they not only avoided the impending sacrifice, but also won the demon world a precious thousand years to recuperate, to increase their strength, and to prepare for the critical period that would come in the next thousand years.

Li Qingjing sat in the dark and quaint training room, closely connected to the ghost slave through the ghost robe, as if he had witnessed the scene of the disappearance of the passage between the two worlds in the sky with his own eyes.

His eyes seemed exceptionally bright in the dim light, and every flicker seemed to be in a fierce battle with the doubts deep in his heart.

Based on his understanding of the Heavenly Demon and past experience, he had constructed a vision of the Heavenly Demon about to unleash a bloody storm in the demon world.

In his imagination, the demons would use all possible means to try to turn the vibrant land of the demon world into a demon domain and their pasture like the human world.

However, reality was like a sharp knife, precisely cutting through all his assumptions and revealing a completely different truth.

The demons in the human world showed unprecedented indifference towards the demon world and completely ignored it.

This abnormality, like an undercurrent surging beneath the calm surface of a lake, made Li Qing's heart no longer calm.

He knew very well that "when things are abnormal, there must be something wrong" and there must be a deeper and more sinister conspiracy behind it.

How could the demons, a race known for their cunning and aggressiveness since ancient times, easily give up their plunder of flesh and blood and their invasion of other worlds?

He began to carefully sort out every clue in his mind, trying to piece together the truth behind it.

If the demons in the sky did not intend to invade the demon tribe in the spiritual world through the ascension platform in the demon world, then what was their goal?

The devil is definitely plotting a bigger conspiracy!

Otherwise, with their confidence of possessing the ascension platform in the human world, they could easily send countless demons to the lower world and invade the demon world as well.

Afterwards, they would use the demon world's ascension platform as a passage to invade the hinterland of the demon clan in the spiritual world and attack the demon clan.

But none of this happened...

Unless... the demons don't need to attack the demons in the spirit world from the ascension platform in the demon world...

Unless... the demon world is already under their control...

Thinking of this, Li Qing's eyes flickered. If he continued to deduce according to this idea...

If the demons do not need to use the demon world's ascension platform as a springboard to invade the heartland of the demon clan in the spiritual world, then there is only one possibility.

This bold idea quietly sprouted in his mind.

——In the spiritual world, those ascension platforms that are regarded as the holy places of the demon race may have fallen into the hands of the demons without knowing it.

This thought was like a thunderclap, exploding in Li Qing's heart, making him gasp.

If this is true, then the situation in the demon world will be more critical than imagined.

The demon no longer needs to go through the demon world, but can use the demon world's ascension platform as a springboard to launch a fatal attack on the heartland of the demon clan in the spirit world.

Because that place has long been under their control.

And when the creatures in their demon world ascend in the future, they may be greeted by the huge mouth of the abyss of the devil.

The human world is used for captivity, and the demon world is used for letting loose?

Once these thoughts appeared in Li Qing's mind, they could no longer be shaken off, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the truth.

This also made Li Qing feel extremely terrified of the wisdom of the demon.

Such a layout not only demonstrates the unfathomable wisdom of the demons, but also highlights their ambition and greed for the entire cultivation world.

Now he and the creatures in the demon world are completely on the same boat.

Li Qing must inform the demon clan leaders of this discovery as soon as possible and deal with this crisis together.

However, after thinking about it, Li Qing finally decided to bury this guess in his heart.

He understood that it would be difficult to convince all parties to believe this shocking speculation based on his one-sided statement alone.

Even if this news spread and became known to everyone, it would not be of any benefit to him.

What he needed was to find a way to test whether this guess was correct and how to resolve the crisis.
