Chapter 109 Upon first entering Qishan, a host of demons greet me…
Qishan.
This is the land of the demon race, with towering cliffs, mountain streams and forests, lakes and hills, and countless natural landscapes that nurture different demon races.
There are countless mountains in various places, such as Shenlan Cliff, Fandi, Quanyun Mountain, Jinguo Mountain, Qingqiu, Zhenxuan Cave...
In the end, there were minor demons running around everywhere, while the major demons either hid deep within or led their own clans, all living their own lives.
Of course, the most powerful among them is also the undisputed king of Qishan—
Shenlan Cliff, Tiger.
...
Ever since they crossed the Thousand Mountains and entered the real Qishan, the carriage had been leisurely driven by Qingyu. The demonic aura all around made the four respectable cultivators inside the carriage want to sneeze.
"The whole place was filled with demonic energy; it took me a lot of effort to fall asleep last night."
Zhang Xuan lay half-reclined on the daybed, while Qin Tianshu chuckled as he flipped through a book beside him. "What's the big deal? Look at Xiao Qingyu, she's been so excited these past few days that she can't sleep either."
I still remember the girl opening her arms wide, taking a deep breath, and exclaiming as soon as she entered Qishan, "Ah, the taste of home!"
Everyone: "..."
A gentle breeze blew past the car door, and Qingyu smiled contentedly.
"So what? I'm telling you, you'll be at my house today. Get ready, we'll be there soon!"
"Shenlan Cliff..."
Wen Chuan sat on a recliner, the young man relaxed, his hands clasped together in a lazy manner. He casually murmured, thinking about the name of the mountain where Qing Yu lived.
"Nice name,"
Qin Tianshu smiled and said, "Qingyu, since we're almost there, tell us what kind of demons are inside?" The scholar then called out, "Qingyu, tell us, since we're almost there, what kind of demons are inside?"
Qingyu smiled upon hearing this. She hadn't been back for seven years, and these past few days the young girl had been happy no matter what, even watching the little demons fight made her grin.
"Yes, there is Grandpa Locust Tree. He is a very, very old monster in Qishan. He doesn't take human form and lives for thousands of years."
"There is a tiger clan, also known as the Mountain Lord. He is the most powerful demon, the king of all beasts!"
"And there are also birds like the Sanshounori, they also live in Qishan..."
"And there's Sister Lotus... the one we met in Lotus Town before... but she's entered reincarnation and started a new life now!"
The girl's voice was melodious, and her soft laughter echoed through the mountains. It seemed that in an instant, she summoned the fragrance of flowers everywhere.
Lin Fanxiang took a gentle sniff, and the woman pursed her lips and looked up, "It smells so good."
Her sense of smell was the most acute, so she was the first to smell the fragrance. Qingyu smiled and replied to her from not far away.
"The edge of Shenlan Cliff is Fandi, where there is a vast sea of flowers, the dwelling place of the Flower Clan, Butterfly Clan, Peacock Clan and the like."
"But it costs too much there, and I was worried you'd feel uncomfortable there, so I'm deliberately avoiding it,"
Lin Fanxiang was about to speak with a smile when she suddenly smelled a faint, unpleasant, fishy odor in the air...
"We'll be there soon, but the carriage probably can't go up the mountain; it'll have to stop at the foot of the mountain—"
Suddenly a gust of wind arose, causing leaves to rustle and flowers to hide. As the demonic aura swirled, Qingyu stopped speaking, and everyone in the carriage froze. Such a powerful demonic aura!
Qingyu, dressed in red, sat high up by the carriage door. The woman leaned against the door, her delicate hand resting on her knee, holding a riding crop and chuckling softly. Her posture seemed defensive, yet also utterly natural and unrestrained, exuding a leisurely arrogance.
"Looks like my journey home isn't going to be easy—"
Before the words were finished, a murderous intent arose suddenly, and a ruthless blade hurtled towards Qing Yu's face. As the silver light flashed, it reflected the woman's smiling eyes, and she gently curled her lips—
Her crimson skirt billowed as the woman moved with incredible speed and deliberation. With a flick of her whip, she summoned demonic energy, propelling the carriage swiftly away. The energy swirled, causing petals to fall, and in the blink of an eye, the woman in red landed gracefully. She smiled.
"That's fine, I'll be home eventually, I'll have to play a few games anyway."
"I heard from the lesser demons around here that one of the demons from Shenlan Cliff has returned. These past few days, he's been leading human cultivators around Qishan, acting all arrogant and cocky."
The male voice was low and bloodthirsty, yet it carried an overwhelming sense of power. The boundless violence instantly caused the lesser demons within a hundred miles to flee desperately, wanting only to escape for their lives.
Upon hearing this, Qingyu looked up. The woman chuckled lightly, brushing the wind and leaves. Unbeknownst to her, the unnamed wildflowers by the roadside swayed, and a visible breeze gathered. In what seemed like an instant, the woman held a wooden sword, her powerful demonic aura instilling fear in all who beheld her.
"After saying so much, I just hope you're not too weak."
"Hahahahaha,"
A disdainful laugh rang out, and the great demon from the shadows finally revealed itself—
He wore a half-shed leopard skin outfit, with dark brown spots and congealed blood. His lean, scarred chest was exposed, and half of his face was covered with ferocious leopard spots. His eyes were eerie, one a ghostly green, the other... only the white of his eye was visible.
The man grinned menacingly, his long canines dangling from his neck, and he held a strange bone knife in his hand. He exuded a primal ferocity and a stench.
Quan Yunshan, Leopard Demon, Quan Xiao.
Qingyu narrowed her eyes. The leopard demon before her exuded an extremely murderous aura and a foul stench, possessing a strange and powerful presence. But more than anything, she felt a sense of familiarity with the leopard demon. Judging by its age, it seemed to be someone she had seen before.
"The flower fairy of Shenlan Cliff, after thinking it over, it can only be you,"
Quan Xiao laughed, a faint green light emanating from one of his eyes. "What, you don't remember me? Well, you were quite arrogant back then, how could you possibly remember a little demon like me?"
Leopard Clan, Little Demon, Green Eyes—
A humble young man gradually appeared in Qingyu's mind: weak, timid, slow to act, and not ruthless enough. He couldn't even defeat her, an eight-year-old flower fairy, and was ultimately ridiculed by many demons in the leopard clan... Quan Xiao...
"You, how could you..."
The woman in red looked up at him. At this moment, Quan Xiao was full of murderous aura. He was a great demon with the cultivation level. His strength was even comparable to the Leopard King of Quanyun Mountain back then. He was even more violent and violent, and was filled with the most primitive and ruthless killing intent!
What happened? How did he become like this...?
Before he could think too much, Quan Xiao had already swung his sword, and the slash, filled with terrifying killing intent, created a hundred-foot whirlwind!
As the tree tilted and leaves flew, Qingyu turned to dodge the blade. The girl twirled her sword, and as her black hair fell, the sword light slashed straight at Quan Xiao!
Quan Xiao grinned maliciously and looked up. The speed of a leopard was something that petals could not match!
Qingyu also curled her lips, "If you want to die, then come and fight."
Demonic energy is rampant, and powerful demons are killing each other!
Fast or slow, ruthless or not, the two stared at each other amidst the flashing blades and sparks!
The fierce blade unleashed a menacing aura, while the nimble sword energy contained killing intent; in just a few breaths, trees fell and the wind swirled!
In an instant, no demon dared to approach from the high ground and sky. The rapidly surging killing intent and demonic aura carried on the wind, drawing the attention of the entire Qishan region to the battle!
...
In the distance, the carriage had already stopped at the foot of Shenlan Cliff. Everyone got off the carriage and watched the battle from near or far.
Zhang Xuan closed his eyes and felt the omnipresent buzzing and killing intent in the air. The young man gradually gripped the hilts of the twin swords, feeling the powerful killing intent and the incomparably primal violence bit by bit!
Tear, gnaw, devour, the flashing swords and shadows are just the surface; the real battle is when flesh and blood fly, and veins are severed and bones are etched!
This was a ruthless scene that would never be seen in a battle between cultivators; the sheer ferocity and overwhelming stench stirred a sense of nausea within the young man, making him feel both exhilarated and somewhat disgusted.
"What's wrong, young boy? Are you scared?"
"Hehehe~ After all, he's just a junior cultivator. He's never seen anything like this before."
Suddenly, two gentle, captivating female voices rang out, one pure and the other alluring, their softness and gentle smiles seemingly capable of melting one's very bones.
Zhang Xuan opened his eyes, and it was as if a gentle breeze had swept by. He heard the sound of dew dripping from the grass beside his ear, the leaves rustling softly, and there seemed to be a moist and refreshing mist in the air...
On the lakeside meadow, the spring light was gentle, and the scene of the wildly dancing trees in front of him changed in an instant. Zhang Xuan gripped his knife, and the black-clad youth curled his lips. This demonic aura, it really is beautiful.
A breeze picked up, and a light, melodious laugh drifted over. As if summoned by the wind, the two women appeared before the young man in an instant.
Crimson and pale blue, gold hairpins and silver ornaments, one alluring like a captivating beauty, alluring yet tender; the other pure like a fairy, serene and pristine.
What a pair of demon sisters!
Shui Bi looked curiously at the black-clad swordsman in front of her. She tilted her head and asked her sister Shui Zhu with a smile, "Sister, the person the little flower fairy brought back is really interesting."
Shui Zhu chuckled upon hearing this, the woman charmingly smoothing her hair and glancing flirtatiously at the young man.
"She's really something now, she's got that leopard completely under her thumb... Oh well, if she likes to play, let's have a go at this handsome little swordsman."
The two water deer demons, the masters of Gan Gui Lake, are quite far from Shenlan Cliff. They traveled such a long way just to see the excitement.
...
Lin Fanxiang sighed, her brows furrowing slightly. She realized that her medical skills were truly... utterly inadequate in this situation...
Cai Cai: "Coo coo coo—"
Xiangxiang, don't be upset! I'm still here with you, hehehe!
Lin Fanxiang smiled, stroked Cai Cai's fur, and was about to speak when she vaguely sensed that the ground beneath her feet was a little off—
"Why!"
"Gugu gougou gaga gaga gaga gaga!"
In an instant, the soil burst open and branches sprouted, vines twining tightly around the young woman's waist, yet carrying an extremely obvious sense of goodwill—
Suddenly, they were pulled from the foot of the mountain into the deep mountains. The girl couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, especially Cai Cai, who cried out even louder, disturbing the vines, which stretched out a branch and nodded at it.
Lin Fanxiang sniffed gently. She smelled the fragrance of the soil, the fresh scent of the grass, and... the fragrance of locust blossoms?
The wind ruffled her hair, the rocks formed the ground, and the vines swayed gently. Before long, they led her and Cai Cai to a stream, where a huge, ancient locust tree, brimming with vitality, stood.
Cai Cai: "Coo coo coo! Goo goo ga ga ga ga!"
Lin Fanxiang gently held Cai Cai, comforting it as she approached the ancient tree.
The stream flows gently, reflecting the white locust blossoms on the trees. The air is filled with their fragrance as the wind rustles through the leaves, carrying a sweet and refreshing scent everywhere.
The sky is clear and blue, the ancient locust trees are green, and the spring scenery is boundless. It is truly a beautiful scene in March.
Lin Fanxiang took a soft breath, the girl smiled gently, and approached the locust tree, her expression filled with curiosity. She asked,
"Yes, Grandpa Huaihua?"
Another warm breeze arose, and it seemed as if an old man was genuinely laughing heartily.
Little Flower is back! And she brought a new friend with her. How wonderful!
Everything is fine, everything is fine, except for that leopard... It disturbed the children's journey home.
Forget it, let's bring a pretty kid over here first so I can take a good look at him!
...
Qin Tianshu chatted with Wen Chuan while gently fanning himself. The scholar looked around and smiled, "It seems we haven't gotten our travel permits after traveling for several days."
Looking at the gruesome scene of the flower demon killing the leopard not far away, Wen Chuan smiled and said, "She was thinking of having us go to Shenlan Cliff to play first, and she's been suppressing it with her demonic energy."
As soon as they entered Qishan, many lesser demons avoided them, while the greater demons secretly watched, but dared not openly block their path due to Qingyu's demonic aura.
Ultimately, the demon race values strength above all else. Anyone who dares to come to Qishan will have to fight a few battles before they can walk around here safely.
Qin Tianshu smiled, and as he turned around with his ink-black fan swaying gently, he asked one last question.
"You really won't do anything?"
Wen Chuan chuckled softly. The young man's eyes held a gentle warmth, with a hint of languor upon closer inspection. He stroked the hilt of his sword at his waist, letting out a silent sigh of amusement.
"My sword is too lazy, no rush."
"Being too lazy is not good, let's throw it away."
The scholar smiled casually, with a leisurely sigh, as if he were complaining that Wen Gujian was useless. Finally, the immortal sword hummed for a moment, and Wen Chuan lowered his eyes and smiled. The young man tapped it, "Immortal, it's finally willing to move."
Suddenly a gentle breeze swept by, and eyes were hidden in the shadows.
Wen Chuan smiled and looked towards the mountains in the distance.
The clouds and mist were thick, and spring brought a bluish light. Yet, a buzzing sound arose in the air, and the wind carried a murderous intent. As if in an instant, an extremely heavy pressure came toward the youth. No, not only that, but the entire Qishan felt this power!
Lord of Shenlan Cliff, King of All Beasts.
It is a mountain king.
Wen Chuan raised his eyes. Gently, the young man stroked the cold hilt of the sword. Unconsciously, the unique spiritual energy belonging to the coldness of the North seeped into the earth little by little, connecting the roots and touching the heart.
A storm was brewing, and killing intent followed. The roar of the Tiger King rose from Shenlan Cliff, and a primal, predatory aura of devouring instantly filled the entire Qishan Mountain!
Countless lesser demons trembled and fled, while several powerful demons either came to fight the humans or quietly watched and awaited the outcome.
The Tiger King's roar awakened the demon mountain, but then, the sword was drawn, the immortal appeared, a thousand-foot wind rose and a thousand clouds surged, and a cold wind howled in the dark sky!
All the demon cultivators of Qishan were startled. In an instant, the spring scenery vanished, replaced by an ever-present, bone-chilling cold that pierced their hearts. It seemed as if, in a moment, they had truly arrived at the legendary snow-capped mountains of the far north...
Startled, she closed her eyes, using her spiritual energy to fight back. When she looked up again after calming down, it was already—
In March, the sky was clear and blue, with snow falling everywhere.
...
Their battle raged fiercely, filled with murderous intent and spiritual energy, enlivening the entire Qishan region. The back-and-forth fighting kept countless demons on the edge of their seats, anxiously awaiting the outcome.
The scholar, however, leisurely waved his fan and disappeared somewhere, eventually finding himself in a quiet, windless orchard.
Qin Tianshu smiled and looked around at the surrounding woods, while the scholar sighed, fanning himself.
"Really, everyone else only has to take down one or two, but when it comes to me, it's a whole bunch of them!"
"Hehehe, you're handsome."
"Hehehe, yes, yes, Jun!"
"Jun Jun Jun! Jun Jun Jun! Jun Jun Jun!"
Like a group of calm rocks suddenly rolling down, whooshing and rolling until they finally landed in a large lake, then exploding with a bang—
The big and little monkeys swayed back and forth, their long arms and legs hanging from the branches, giggling and laughing as they repeated "Jun Jun Jun" after the eldest monkey!
Qin Tianshu, unusually silent, chuckled while pressing the handle of his fan against his ear.
Well, really, what a noisy bunch of monkeys!
He looked up and saw a golden monkey lying leisurely and happily eating peaches on a tall tree in the distance. Its hands and feet were light black, its back was gray and its ears were white. Its golden fur was very smooth, and its eyes were round and bright. It looked extremely cute with its smile.
Seeing the scholar looking at him, the golden monkey sat up abruptly, stretched out its long arms, scratched its neck, and chuckled at him while munching on a peach.
Scholar Jun, I, the Great King, have brought the most mischievous monkeys from Golden Fruit Mountain to see you.
So, isn't that good enough for you? Hehehe, it's good enough!
The fighting over there is too intense! One minute there's blood splattering everywhere, the next there's wind and snow. Hmm, I don't like it!
Hehe, it's more fun when the little demons are all together making a ruckus!
Hoo-hoo hee-hee!
Let's get this party started, hohoho!!!
Yay! Woohoo!
