The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

As the night grew darker, the moonlight seemed brighter, adding a touch of silence to the cloud boat.

The scene of the banquet ending was like a slowly rolling scroll, gradually revealing another quiet and profound picture.

As most of the guests left, the lights in the banquet hall under the cloud boat gradually became sparse, leaving only a few lanterns swaying gently in the wind, emitting a soft and warm light, illuminating the figures who had not yet left.

Most of these are guests who have a lower status in the demon world or do not have a prominent family background, similar to the "casual cultivators" who have some fame in the human world.

They were not in a hurry to leave, but chose to stay where they were, with expectation and determination flashing in their eyes.

Among these guests, several seemed to muster up their courage, slowly stood up, walked across the empty banquet hall, and walked towards Li Qing who was standing on the cloud boat.

Although their steps were hesitant, their eyes were extremely determined.

When they jumped onto the cloud boat and came in front of Li Qing, they stopped one after another, lined up neatly, and bowed deeply to Li Qing, expressing their most sincere respect.

"Master Youying Tower Master, although we do not have a prominent background, we have great ambitions and are eager to serve under you, fight against the demons, and contribute to the prosperity and peace of the demon world."

One of the guests, the tiger-headed one, spoke for all the guests with a trembling but firm voice.

Upon hearing this, Li Qing turned around and glanced at every guest standing in front of him with a gentle and deep gaze.

He had anticipated the scene before him, as the surrender of these guests was another purpose of his hosting the banquet.

He slowly took a few steps forward, personally helped the guest in the front, and said softly: "I understand your intentions. The demon world is so big that we need everyone to protect it together."

"No matter what your background is, as long as you are interested in the demon world, you are welcome to join me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a warm cheer rang out from the cloud boat.

Under the cloud boat, the afterimage of the banquet seemed somewhat lonely under the moonlight.

Those guests who had not yet taken action still sat in their seats, secretly glancing upwards from time to time, their hearts filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

Some of them clenched their fists, their knuckles turning slightly white due to the force; others folded their hands and gently rubbed their fingers, revealing their inner tension and anxiety.

Their thoughts were like surging waves, and they sometimes worried that their low status was not enough to attract the attention of the owner of the Shadow Tower.

Sometimes he was afraid that his request would be ruthlessly rejected, thus making him lose face in the demon world.

This contradiction and struggle constantly intertwined in their hearts, making every moment seem especially long.

However, when they saw those guests who had mustered up the courage to approach Li Qing and successfully joined his team, a glimmer of hope gradually flashed in their eyes.

When they saw the joy and pride on those people's faces and heard their excited conversations, they couldn't help but feel an impulse in their hearts - perhaps they also had the opportunity to become one of them.

Once this idea came into being, it spread quickly like wildfire.

They began to look at each other, with unprecedented firmness and determination flashing in their eyes.

They realized that if they continued to hesitate, they would miss this rare opportunity.

So they began to adjust their breathing, calm their minds, and prepare to meet the upcoming challenges.

Finally, when Li Qing extended the invitation to everyone again, the guests who were originally sitting at the banquet no longer hesitated.

They all stood up and walked towards Li Qing with full of expectations and longings.

Although their pace was still a little tense, their eyes were shining with unprecedented determination and courage.

At this moment, they seemed to have seen themselves following the Lord of the Shadow Tower in the future and soaring freely in the demon world, and they also felt the pride and glory from the bottom of their hearts.

Li Qing watched all this with a smile, feeling quite satisfied.

He knew that at this moment, he not only gained more supporters, but also established a solid foundation in the demon world and stood firm...

Thus, on this quiet and beautiful night, a legendary story was left on the cloud boat.

Shortly after.

The sun rose into the sky, and the Takihai Pearl was gently wrapped in soft light, like a bright pearl embedded in the dark abyss.

After days of busyness and fierce fighting, Li Qing finally found a moment of peace in the quiet residence he shared with Chi Feng.

His body slowly sank into the soft bed, his breathing gradually becoming steady and deep, as if even the air around him became peaceful and calm as he fell asleep.

This banquet is not only a display of his strength, but also a subtle layout of various forces.

At the banquet, as the glasses clinked, Li Qing won the favor of many guests with his extraordinary charm and strength that should not be underestimated, including many who were willing to surrender and conspire to achieve great things.

After properly settling the guests who wanted to seek refuge and entrusting them to the loyal Meng Yu, Li Qing finally put down the burden on his shoulders and let the fatigue overwhelm him like a tide and bring him into sleep.

However, the tranquility within the Longhai Pearl could not conceal the undercurrents within the Tianyu Demon Dynasty.

After the banquet, it was discovered that among those seemingly careless guests were actually spies carefully arranged by the Tianyu Demon Dynasty.

They are like ghosts in the night, quietly collecting all useful information.

Especially regarding the undisguised consensus on cooperation reached between Li Qing and the five demon lords.

These news, like sharp arrows, quickly penetrated numerous obstacles and went straight to the core of the Tianyu Demon Dynasty, making the Demon Dynasty, which was already turbulent due to the defeat of the crown prince, even more precarious.

The Tianyu Demon Dynasty, this once powerful force, is now suffering from unprecedented frustration.

The prince's physical body was destroyed and he lost face. He was not able to gain any benefit from the owner of the Shadow Tower. Instead, other demon lords took advantage of the situation and used the Tianyu Demon Dynasty to find out Li Qing's background, and then successfully boarded this ship with unlimited potential.

The joining of the five demon lords is undoubtedly a huge threat to the status of the Tianyu Demon Dynasty, and it is also an encouragement and inspiration to other forces.

In contrast, those forces that were not directly involved in this dispute appeared particularly relaxed and optimistic.

They either watch the development of events from afar or make preparations in secret, ready to seize the initiative in future changes in the landscape.

The entire demon world, as if being pushed by an invisible force, is slowly entering a new era, and the cooperation between Li Qing and the five demon lords will undoubtedly become an important chapter in the opening of this era.
