The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

As the news about Li Qing spread quickly like a stone thrown into a calm lake.

Its ripple-like influence instantly spread to every corner of the world, making it difficult for all the demon clan forces in the demon world to escape its fate...

……

In the deepest part of the ancient and mysterious palace of the Tianyu Demon Dynasty.

In a secret room surrounded by red-hot magma, an extraordinary being lay quietly in the rolling heat waves.

He has a slender figure, but his face is indistinguishable between male and female, as delicate as a fairy carved by nature. He is naked, yet does not look vulgar at all, instead adding a sense of nobleness that transcends this world.

This is the Phoenix Demon Emperor, the supreme ruler of the Tianyu Demon Dynasty.

When the shadowy bracelet containing the invitation flickered gently on his fingertips, displaying the message from Li Qing, his usually calm face finally blossomed into a faint yet meaningful smile, as if a long drought was finally met with a downpour, or as warm as the reunion of an old friend.

"Shadow, are you finally willing to step out of the shadows and face this troubled world?"

His voice was low and magnetic, echoing in this silent magma chamber with unquestionable majesty and expectation.

……

At the same time, in the distant Qiuqi Kingdom, inside the magnificent imperial palace.

In a dark secret room, a burly man with a red face, black hair, and wearing a luxurious golden robe was concentrating with his eyes closed, performing some ancient practice.

Suddenly, a ray of light from the shadow bracelet placed aside penetrated the darkness and woke him up from his meditation.

He opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and then he burst into a hearty laugh, which contained both excitement for the banquet and desire for a challenge.

"The shadow has reappeared, and this game seems to have become more interesting."

He thought to himself, with a playful arc at the corner of his mouth.

……

And deep in the vast and mysterious white fog of the Western Regions Swamp, the Black Turtle Demon Lord was resting with his eyes closed in a pool on a quiet island.

When the information on the bracelet slowly emerged, he slowly opened his eyes, his gaze was deep and complex, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"It's another stormy time. What kind of storm will the appearance of the Shadow Tower Master stir up?"

He pondered secretly in his mind, frowning, as if he had foreseen the various changes that were about to happen in the future.

"The owner of the Shadow Tower was clearly hiding in the swamp, why did he show up?"

"Why is it that when it's my turn to be in charge, so much chaos happens!"

"What a bad luck!"

There was both helplessness and responsibility in the words of the Black Turtle Demon Lord.

……

As for the abyss of the East China Sea, beneath the boundless blue waves, the palace of the Golden Dragon Demon Lord is hidden there, dazzling and brilliant.

After reading the message, a rare gentle smile appeared on his originally stern face.

"Youying, the kindness between you and me has finally come to an end."

He whispered to himself, his eyes gleaming with determination and relief.

"In one month, I will fulfill my promise and return your favor."

……

Beiyuan, this vast land covered with snow, was also experiencing ripples due to the news coming from the Shadow Bracelet.

In this frozen world, there are two major demon forces - the Nine-tailed Fox Clan and the Yin-Moon Wolf Clan.

After hearing the news, their ancestors showed completely different reactions.

The nine-tailed fox clan has lived in the deep valley at the northernmost tip of Beiyuan for generations.

Its ancestor, Fox Demon Zun, was a woman with stunning beauty and extraordinary wisdom.

She was wearing a glittering fox fur coat, and her eyes sparkled with cunning and wisdom.

When the information in the bracelet jumped on her fingertips, a flash of surprise first crossed her face, and then was replaced by a meaningful smile.

"The Shadow Tower Master has reappeared in the world. This may be a turning point for our Nine-tailed Fox Clan."

She whispered to herself, secretly calculating how to use this opportunity to gain more benefits and status for the fox demon clan.

She knew very well that with the strength of the Shadow Tower Master, his appearance would definitely disrupt the existing balance.

The Nine-tailed Fox Clan might be able to rely on the life-saving grace of the Shadow Tower Master to get on board this ship and gain an advantage in this change.

……

The Yinyue Snowfield, located at the other end of the Beiyuan, is a territory covered in white snow.

Yin Yue Demon Lord, as the ancestor of the clan, is tall with a stern face, and is surrounded by a heart-pounding cold aura.

When he woke up from his training and saw the message from the bracelet, a complex look flashed in his deep eyes.

"Shadow... you finally showed up."

He murmured in a low voice, his tone containing both anticipation and caution.

For the Yinyue Wolf Clan, the existence of the Shadow Tower Master is both a threat and an opportunity.

He knew very well that the power of the Lord of Shadow Tower was unfathomable. If he could form an alliance with him, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance the strength of the Yinyue Wolf Clan.

However, if not handled properly, it may bring disaster and calamity.

Therefore, he must act cautiously and weigh the pros and cons carefully before making a decision.

Therefore, after learning the news that the owner of the Shadow Tower had reappeared in the world, the two major forces in Beiyuan each fell into deep thought and planning.

They are all waiting for the right moment, an opportunity that will allow them to stand out from the coming storm.

The direction of all this will depend on the choices they make...

Just like that, a piece of news, like the flapping of a butterfly's wings, caused waves in the demon world.

The leaders of various major forces, whether happy or worried, expectant or anxious, have all begun to prepare for the upcoming changes.

The focus of all this is on the mysterious man named "The Master of the Shadow Tower".

……

After sending the invitation, Li Qing typed another message and sent it to the Soul Bound on Bailu Island.

In that message were the coordinates of an island and a more detailed mission arrangement.

This is not just a simple order, but also an invisible net that is slowly spreading out, foreshadowing an unprecedented event that is about to take place in the Western Regions.

In the message, Li Qing asked the Soul Catchers to act quickly and decorate the island into a grand gathering place that could not only highlight his noble status but also make all forces feel "at home".

Every detail, from the exquisite pavilions to the glittering spiritual gardens, has to be carefully crafted to ensure that it lives up to the name of this gathering.

Otherwise, various forces are about to arrive, and if only a small island is used as a place to entertain them, it will surely seem shabby and lack "sincerity", and will become a laughing stock in the demon world.

Therefore, he prepared for a rainy day and reached a deal with the Black Turtle Demon Lord a few moments ago - purchasing an island as the stage for this gathering.

To Li Qing, spirit stones are nothing more than dust accumulated on the road of cultivation. Although there are many of them, they can hardly arouse any waves in his heart.

He originally wanted to crush the enemy with his financial resources and spend a huge sum of money to buy the place he wanted, but the generosity of the Black Turtle Demon Lord was beyond his expectations.

This cowardly demon lord seemed to have respected him because he had witnessed some of his strength at the last gathering. He also wanted to take this opportunity to make friends with him, so he insisted on giving him the island without asking for anything in return.

Li Qing had a clear mind and naturally understood the deep meaning behind the action of Black Turtle Demon Lord, so he silently erased the name of Black Turtle Demon Lord from the list of people who could be killed in his mind.
