An hour later, in the Myriad Flowers Valley, the sea of blood that filled the sky slowly receded, revealing three figures: Li Shiqing, Huo Lun, and the Blood Demon, who is unknown.
As for the burly Strength Demon from before, he had long since disappeared without a trace. With three against one, the outcome was already decided. On the road of martial arts, there was no shortage of bloodshed and death.
It had to be said that this Strength Demon who had come here today was truly extraordinary. His strength was great and his methods were extraordinary. If they were to fight one on one, none of the three of them would be his opponent. After this battle, whether it was the Blood Demon or Huo Lun, both of them had many wounds on their bodies. Only Li Shiqing was unscathed, but her face was slightly pale, obviously having consumed a lot of energy.
In this life and death battle, the three of them felt a sense of mutual appreciation for each other. Li Shiqing opened her mouth to express her thanks. Today’s matter was because of her, Huo Lun and the Blood Demon had both come to help, so naturally she had to thank them properly.
Hearing her call him Big Brother Huo, Huo Lun’s heart felt a bit strange, but he was also happy and gladly accepted.
The Blood Demon, on the other hand, was very forthright and waved his hand, “There’s no need to thank me, it’s just a man bullying a woman. If you really want to thank me, give me some wine. Is there any wine?”
“Yes!” Li Shiqing quickly nodded. She didn’t drink much herself, but in her Space Ring, there was some flower wine that she had brewed herself. It was fragrant and rich, and today, he had saved her life, so she invited the Blood Demon and Huo Lun to her peak to express her gratitude.
Huo Lun was still hesitating, but Blood Demon immediately agreed without any hesitation.
Compared to other people’s straightforwardness, he was a bit petty and didn’t have much to say.
At the top of the mountain, at the foot of the building, there were tables and chairs. Li Shiqing cooked a few dishes and took out a few jars of flower wine to entertain her two saviors.
The table was filled with dishes, but there was no meat, only some exotic flowers. However, with Li Shiqing’s skill, these flowers were quite delicious to Blood Demon and Huo Lun, who were constantly praising them.
After three rounds of drinking, Huo Lun and Blood Demon were both a bit intoxicated, while Li Shiqing also drank a few mouthfuls, her pure white face blushing slightly.
Having fought side by side before, now that they were exchanging toasts, they naturally became familiar with each other. Li Shiqing and Huo Lun each reported their names before turning to the Blood Demon.
The Blood Demon took a sip of wine and shouted, “Mo Sheng!”
With a loud bang, Huo Lun stood up in fright and stared, “Demon Saint?” [Hoogsway: Mo Sheng also meant Demon Saint]
Blood Demon laughed loudly, as if he had expected this. After carefully reciting his name, Huo Lun let out a sigh of relief and sat down with a bitter smile, still somewhat frightened.
This Mo Sheng came from a continent under Bei Limo’s command. Yang Kai had already devoured all of Bei Limo’s territory, so naturally, the Demon Race had also entered the Mysterious Small World.
His name was indeed a coincidence; it was Mo Sheng, Mo Sheng, and Demon Saint. Those who didn’t know him would think he was a Demon Saint, but they really didn’t know how this guy had managed to survive until now… Huo Lun estimated that if he were to use this name, he would be beaten to death sooner or later.
“Young Lady, are you from the Demon Race?” Mo Sheng took a sip of wine and suddenly asked.
The wine cup Huo Lun was holding to his mouth paused for a moment before he also turned his eyes towards Li Shiqing. Before, he hadn’t noticed anything special about this beautiful neighbor of his, only feeling that her name was somewhat exotic. However, just now, Huo Lun had discovered that Li Shiqing didn’t have any Demonic Qi on her body, nor was she using Demonic Qi, but rather some kind of power that was rumoured to be from the Star Boundary.
However, he had never been to the Star Boundary before, nor had he participated in the Battle of the Two Worlds, so he wasn’t certain.
On the other hand, Mo Sheng was straightforward and asked this question directly.
Li Shiqing pursed her red lips and glanced at Mo Sheng, only to discover that the other party seemed to be asking casually, his expression calm, not showing any intention to pursue the matter, but there was no need to hide anything, so she nodded and said, “I am a human!”
“Human Race!” Huo Lun was shocked. This beautiful neighbor was really from the Star Boundary, only the Star Boundary had humans.
However, Mo Sheng seemed to have expected this and wasn’t surprised, “I heard that Saint Yu Rumeng has a subordinate named Yang Kai who is highly regarded by the Saint. Do you know him?”
Li Shiqing replied lightly, “Yes.”
Mo Sheng’s interest in Yang Kai was obviously quite high, so he immediately perked up and asked, “I heard he participated in the Eternal Heaven Battle and stole the Great Emperor’s opportunity. Is that true?”
“What Eternal Heaven Battle?” Huo Lun asked blankly. After the battle of the Eternal Heaven Battle, Yang Kai had fled to the Cloud Shadow Continent and captured Huo Lun halfway, borrowing his strength to pass through the World Gate, so Huo Lun didn’t know about this at all.
“Does Brother Huo not know?” Mo Sheng looked at him curiously.
Huo Lun shook his head.
Mo Sheng immediately explained the entire story of the Eternal Heaven Battle. In fact, he had only heard about it from hearsay and had not participated in it, but this matter had caused quite a stir throughout the entire Demon Territory, and very few people didn’t know about it.
Huo Lun’s mouth was so wide it could fit a fist into it as he listened, constantly swallowing his saliva.
An opportunity to become a Great Emperor… just how incredible was this? How could the master who had created this world have such great fortune? No wonder he had picked up the relic of a Half-Saint back then. It turned out that the thing he had swallowed back then was the Eternal Heaven Continent, and that Half-Saint had obviously been killed by Great Emperor Bright Moon. In other words, he had also obtained the inheritance of a Star Boundary Great Emperor.
Saying so, Mo Sheng turned to Li Shiqing and asked, “You and him are both humans, so you should be quite familiar with each other, right?”
Li Shiqing was silent for a moment before brushing her hair behind her ear. Picking up a wine jar, she poured a glass of wine for the two of them and shook her head, “Not really.”
Seeing that she was a bit reluctant to talk about this topic, Mo Sheng and Huo Lun stopped talking.
After the banquet, Mo Sheng stood up and pointed to another mountain, “Does that mountain have a master?”
Huo Lun shook his head, “No.”
Mo Sheng laughed, “Then from now on, it will have a master.” As he spoke, he grabbed a jar of unfinished flower wine from the table, placed it on his shoulder, and swaggered towards the Ownerless Peak.
Huo Lun couldn’t help laughing, “Brother Mo’s personality is truly free and unrestrained.” This time, the Three Peaks of Myriad Flowers Valley had a master, but this was a good thing. If it was a stranger, it would be another thing, but the key was that the three of them had fought side by side today, so if they were to encounter any trouble in the future, they would be able to help each other. The current world was not calm. At the beginning of the world’s founding, the hearts of the people were unstable, and all kinds of demons and monsters had appeared. Today, there was a Strength Demon, and perhaps the next day, there would be a Corpse Demon, Bone Demon, or something.
With Mo Sheng gone, Huo Lun couldn’t stay any longer. After thanking Li Shiqing for her hospitality, he quickly left.
…
In the chaotic void, Yang Kai stood side by side with Chang Tian, and in the distance, a massive figure covered the sky, constantly devouring the continent.
Behind the two of them, Bo Ya stared blankly at Gun Gun, her heart filled with shock.
This was the first time she had seen Gun Gun, the first time she had seen a continent slowly being swallowed like a pancake, so how could she not be shocked?
“Continue!” Yang Kai’s voice rang out, slowly bringing Bo Ya back to her senses. After sorting out her words, she continued, “After that battle, Li Shiqing, Huo Lun, and Mo Sheng lived in the Three Peaks of Myriad Flowers Valley. The three of them often moved around and got along quite well.”
Yang Kai nodded, “Have you found out where that Strength Demon came from?”
Regarding Li Shiqing, Yang Kai now had a headache. Ever since she had personally witnessed him kill the Bright Moon Great Emperor in the Eternal Heaven Continent, Li Shiqing’s attitude towards him had undergone a huge change, as if she had some kind of irreconcilable hatred towards him. Last time, she had even tried to assassinate him in the Cloud Shadow Continent’s palace.
A month ago, when Yang Kai returned to the Shadow Cloud Continent, although Li Shiqing didn’t do anything stupid, her attitude towards him was extremely cold.
After the Cloud Shadow Continent was swallowed up, Li Shiqing remained in the Mysterious Small World. Later, he learned that Li Shiqing had left alone and no one knew where she had gone.
If an ordinary person wanted to find a person in the vast world of the Mysterious Small World, it would not be easy, they might not even be able to find one for the rest of their lives. However, the Mysterious Small World was Yang Kai’s territory, so after scanning it with his Divine Sense, he found Li Shiqing.
He then used some methods to send Bo Ya to a place not far from Li Shiqing, ordering her to secretly keep an eye on Li Shiqing’s safety and to report any situation she encountered.
For this reason, Yang Kai had even left a Space Secret Technique sealed in the Space Spirit Jade for Bo Ya. When the time came, all Bo Ya needed to do was crush the Space Spirit Jade and Yang Kai would be able to sense it.
A few days ago in the Myriad Flowers Valley, Bo Ya had seen everything clearly, but at that time, even if Mo Sheng and Huo Lun hadn’t rushed over to help, she would have secretly helped Li Shiqing deal with that Strength Demon, so there was no need to inform Yang Kai.
Later, when Huo Lun made his move, there was also an inexplicable Mo Sheng, so naturally she didn’t need to expose herself.
Today, Yang Kai had summoned her from the Mysterious Small World to inquire about Li Shiqing’s situation, so Bo Ya naturally had to report this matter to him.
Listening to Yang Kai’s question, Bo Ya replied, “I did, but the Demon Race that currently gathers dozens of continents in the Mysterious Small World is a mix of good and bad, so I couldn’t find any clues.”
“What about that Blood Demon? The one named Mo Sheng?” Yang Kai asked again.
“This Mo Sheng is indeed the Demon King of a continent under Bei Limo’s command, there’s nothing wrong with that.” The reason she couldn’t find out the Strength Demon’s origins was because there was no trace of him, but since Mo Sheng had mentioned his origins before, it was easy to investigate.
“Mo Sheng…” Yang Kai narrowed his eyes, “Do you think it was a coincidence, or did he have some kind of ulterior motive?”
Bo Ya pondered for a moment before saying, “It should be a coincidence, right? Also, that Mo Sheng’s temperament is quite good, he’s very forthright and generous, he doesn’t seem like a scheming person.”
Yang Kai nodded and said, “It’s best if he don’t have ulterior motives. Pay close attention to them, especially that Mo Sheng. If anything happens, report to me at any time.”
Although Li Shiqing’s attitude towards him was not polite, Yang Kai couldn’t ignore her. If anything happened to Li Shiqing in the Mysterious Small World, he really wouldn’t be able to answer to the Great Emperor Flower Shadow.
“Yes,” Bo Ya nodded seriously.
