The Legend of Qingpeng: Starting from the Costinus

Qiwu, the demon lord who was known for his straightforwardness, finally couldn't hold back his inner doubts and anxiety, and was the first to speak:

"What do you mean, Master Youying? Could it be that... you have some bad news?"

Hearing this, Li Qing raised a mysterious smile and said slowly, "Don't worry, Demon Venerable Qiwu. This gathering is for the purpose of uncovering the mystery and sharing a major discovery that will affect the future of the demon world."

"Please be patient and wait for me to explain in detail."

As Li Qing finished his words, the entire platform fell into silence again.

But beneath this silence, undercurrents were surging. Everyone's heart was filled with anticipation and anxiety, waiting for the news that Li Qing was about to reveal that would determine the future of the demon world.

As Li Qing continued speaking, his words flowed out like a trickle. Every word and every sentence struck the hearts of representatives of all forces like a heavy hammer, causing ripples.

His words were like a sharp sword, slowly revealing a demonic conspiracy hidden in the dark that was enough to subvert the entire realm.

What Li Qing described was not just a simple fact, but a foreshadowing of a catastrophe that spanned races and boundaries.

He elaborated in detail and summarized that the Broken Heart Mountain in the spiritual world, located at the end of the ascension passage in the demon world, was originally a holy place that countless demons dreamed of, but now it has become the lair of the devil.

This news came like a bolt from the blue, shocking every living being present like never before.

Ascension, the destination that countless demon cultivators dream of, has turned out to be the road to the underworld leading to death.

Except for the Black Turtle Demon Lord, there were three other major forces who had witnessed the ascension process of their own Demon Lords and the extinguishing of the soul lamps. There was shock and reluctance in their eyes.

Obviously, they had already guessed what Li Qing said, but after actually hearing what Li Qing said, they still found it difficult to conceal the waves in their hearts.

They knew very well that what Li Qing said was true, because the extinguished soul lamps in the ancestral temple meant that their people had already become silent victims of this conspiracy.

Although their hearts were in turmoil, years of practice and the burden of their family had taught them to be tolerant. Even in such a desperate situation, they still maintained a rare calm and dignity.

However, not everyone accepts this harsh reality so quickly.

Representatives of some forces, especially those who knew little about the Heavenly Demon or had doubts about Li Qing's identity, raised questions one after another, their voices full of reluctance and struggle.

"Master Youying, your words are important, but they are not enough. How can we believe such a big thing based on your one-sided words?"

Questions arose one after another, and the conference hall was filled with tension and confrontation.

Faced with these doubts, Li Qing did not show any panic.

He smiled slightly and said, "It's very simple. I have this guess, but I can only confirm it after collecting a lot of clues and intelligence."

As he spoke, he calmly took out jade slips that were shining with strange light. These jade slips contained the photos and evidence he had collected about the activities of the demons in the human world.

From the human cities that were kept in captivity in the mortal world to the ancestral land of the Black Turtle clan to watch the ceremony, the soul lamp of the ascender went out less than a month after his ascension.

Each piece of evidence is like a puzzle, gradually piecing together the full picture of the demon's layout.

As the jade slips fell into everyone's hands, Li Qing began to display and explain the evidence one by one. The originally noisy conference hall gradually calmed down, replaced by a dead silence.

All forces never expected that the devil could be so insidious. He was kept captive in the human world and let loose in the demon world!

All eyes were focused on Li Qing. The previous suspicion and distrust disappeared at this moment, replaced by a deep understanding of the impending crisis and sincere admiration for Li Qing's wisdom.

At this moment, the entire venue seemed to be shrouded by an invisible force, and all living beings realized that they were standing at the crossroads of an era, with unknown darkness and death ahead and the fate and hope of countless lives behind them.

After a long time, when the atmosphere on the platform gradually settled from the initial shock and confusion, representatives of each force frowned, trying to digest this sudden and heavy news.

There was a depressing and urgent atmosphere in the air, as if even time had slowed down at this moment.

Finally, when all the emotions and doubts became more and more serious, Li Qing, the owner of the Shadow Tower, slowly stood up and looked at everyone present with a firm gaze.

"Everyone, facing the cunning and huge conspiracy of the demon, we must not act on our own, and we must not be consumed by fear."

Li Qing's voice was steady and powerful, penetrating every corner of the platform. "In the face of this catastrophe that concerns the survival of the entire realm, only unity can gather a force that is strong enough to shake the world and win a glimmer of hope for ourselves and the lives of all the creatures on this land."

He paused, his tone becoming more serious: "We must clearly realize that the ascension platform in the spirit world, the gateway to a higher realm that countless demons dream of, has now fallen into the hands of the demons."

"This means that all of us, the demons and the demon races, regardless of our level of cultivation, have been tied to the same boat and have become a community of shared destiny."

"To sit and wait for death is not what we wish for; to give up the pursuit of immortality is the greatest blasphemy to the cultivation we have gained through hard work."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire conference room fell into a brief silence again, but this time, the silence contained more thoughts and determination.

The Black Turtle Demon Lord, a powerful demon who is usually known for his calmness, now showed an unprecedented serious expression.

He leaned forward slightly, his eyes flashing with expectation and doubt: "Master Youying is right, but facing such a desperate situation, how can we break out? I wonder if the master has already made a plan in mind?"

Li Qing smiled slightly and gave a grateful look to his good friend who was secretly supporting him, which was an affirmation of their mutual understanding.

Then, he took a deep breath and said in a firmer voice: "Since I have summoned you all here today, it is because I have something in mind."

“We are in a desperate situation, but not without hope.”

Then, Li Qing took the opportunity to tell all the forces present the solution he had told the Black Turtle Demon Lord...
