Li Qingyun truly didn't want to kill anymore, but why were these people so persistent?
They just kept trying to get him, even though he had already displayed his unparalleled combat prowess. Those at the late Nascent Soul stage could still exchange a few moves with him, while those with lower cultivation were instantly killed.
Perhaps they were displeased about being slaughtered by an unknown outsider.
Later, Li Qingyun encountered a few very formidable individuals. One was a young woman named Bai Xiaodie, who, like him, possessed a Wood Spirit Physique.
She was about a dozen years older than him and already at the middle Nascent Soul stage.
Initially, Li Qingyun didn't intend to go on a killing spree, but these arrogant geniuses always carried themselves with disdain. Seeing that Li Qingyun's cultivation was lower than hers, she attacked without a word.
Li Qingyun had no choice but to cruelly kill this young woman.
His heart ached, but her storage ring was truly bountiful.
Later, he discovered that Bai Xiaodie was the Saintess of a sect.
This time, Li Qingyun knew he had likely caused a major disaster. This world was far more terrifying than He Guangxin's world. These small sects actually had Grand Ascension stage powerhouses presiding over them!
"Damn beast, how could you kill Xiaodie?"
After Bai Xiaodie's death, another indignant young man rushed out, completely blinded by love.
Li Qingyun advised, "You can't defeat me, is it necessary?"
"Die!"
The outcome was obvious. Li Qingyun easily killed this fellow and then learned that this person was also the Holy Son of a sect.
This sent shivers down his spine. Damn it all!
Were all these Holy Sons and Saintesses brainless?
Couldn't they see they were no match for him?
He had fought Qingdi thousands of times. To hone his combat abilities, Qingdi had employed all sorts of methods to torment him.
For example, formations, group battles, sneak attacks...
He had experienced all these combat scenarios.
Therefore, even though he was constantly being ganged up on, Li Qingyun showed no signs of discomfort; instead, he was handling it with ease.
However, having killed so many people this time, Li Qingyun was a little flustered.
Unless those who showed strong killing intent towards him, he wouldn't deliberately attack.
He even offered kind advice whenever he met others, and if they didn't attack him, he wouldn't attack them.
But those other Holy Sons didn't recognize their own limitations and still acted as if they were invincible.
Now Li Qingyun finally understood what Hai Longwang had said earlier. These people lacked the arrogant, condescending attitude of those geniuses.
But they couldn't be entirely blamed. After all, these Holy Sons had never left Cangshan Domain in their lives. They all possessed somewhat special physiques, and throughout their lives, they had been invincible among peers. Seeing Li Qingyun, whose cultivation was a minor realm lower than theirs yet superior, how could they tolerate it?
...
Something major had happened in this ruin.
Some disciples fled from the ruins in a panic.
"No, no, no, it's bad! Elder! Something terrible has happened!"
"A young man dressed strangely suddenly appeared in the ruins, and he killed the Holy Son!"
"That's a great demon! He claims to be a disciple of Qingdi and is wantonly slaughtering our people!"
"It's too terrifying! He's incredibly powerful!"
"..."
It was still ordinary people who were sensible, lacking the arrogant, condescending attitude of geniuses. They knew how terrifying Li Qingyun was.
Furthermore, they had realized that as long as they didn't make the first move, Li Qingyun wouldn't attack them.
But this matter shouldn't be brought up, as it would make them unreasonable.
The elders of the five major sects were all enraged, their eyes burning with fury.
They had brought their Holy Sons out for trials, only for all of them to be gone this time. How could they explain this upon returning?
"Damn it! Who exactly is he?"
"He claims to be a disciple of Qingdi..."
"Qingdi's ghost! Qingdi has explicitly stated that he does not take disciples. You bunch of imbeciles, you believe anything he says?"
These reporting disciples really wanted to say that Li Qingyun's cultivation techniques were very similar to the legendary "Myriad Things Azure Lotus Technique," but they were afraid of being treated like fools.
"What is his cultivation? How dare he slaughter fellow cultivators like this? Such demonic behavior, how can it be tolerated?"
"He... he is only at the early Nascent Soul stage..."
"What? Are you trying to fool this old man?"
The reporting disciples were on the verge of tears, "Elder, I'm not lying to you, but he might have a treasure that hides his cultivation."
"He must be a disguised demonic cultivator! Such a bloodthirsty individual must not be let go!"
However, they didn't act immediately but discussed amongst themselves.
Now that the Holy Sons were dead, it was an irreversible situation. To account for this to their sects, they had to obtain some good things.
The elders were not fools; they knew that since Li Qingyun could stir up such a storm, he must be an unparalleled genius.
An unparalleled genius would possess certain fortuitous encounters. If they could obtain an immortal-grade cultivation technique or an immortal artifact, then the loss of two Holy Sons wouldn't be a major issue.
Another point was that they wanted to wait for Li Qingyun to explore the Fox Immortal Sect's ruins and bring out the Fox Immortal Sect's legacy. The sects that had perished always placed their legacies in places that normal people couldn't access, greatly testing a cultivator's comprehension. Li Qingyun, this suddenly appearing genius, naturally became their tool.
This was their thinking. All these elders had cultivation bases at the Deity Transformation stage, and they didn't believe Li Qingyun could escape.
Thus, after a period of waiting, approximately two months later.
Li Qingyun indeed obtained a lower-grade immortal cultivation technique in the ruins – "Dreamy Fox Scripture." The founder of the Fox Immortal Sect was a transformed demon, whose strength had already reached the immortal realm. However, due to provoking an enemy, she perished in battle, thus leaving behind her cultivation technique.
This was a cultivation technique focused on illusions, which was not suitable for Li Qingyun, but he still took it. He didn't need it, but Blue Star did.
Blue Star needed any cultivation resource.
And as he put the "Dreamy Fox Scripture" into his storage, the eyes of the elders guarding outside gleamed with greed, as the light symbolizing the most mysterious fortuitous encounter had disappeared, meaning that the boy who came from nowhere had obtained the treasure.
A massive amount of killing intent directly locked onto Li Qingyun.
Li Qingyun's face turned pale: "Holy crap! Deity Transformation stage aura, I can't fight this! Gotta run!"
"Little demon, don't you dare run!"
"Come here and accept your death!"
Li Qingyun directly took out several "Divine Speed Talismans" from his storage ring. These were sixth-grade talismans, found in the Ice Empress's storage ring. He had also received some during the division of spoils.
His figure turned into a streak of light and disappeared in an instant.
The elders' eyes were bloodshot. Damn it, his speed was even faster than theirs, Deity Transformation stage cultivators. Was this shameless?
"Stop right there!"
"Chase him! I have already locked onto his aura, he cannot escape!"
"He must possess great secrets, to casually use sixth-grade talismans!"
"..."
