Though he was hurried away by the person whose life he'd saved with great
effort, Shen Qingqiu was very satisfied.
The Liu Qingge who died by his hands in the original work was accidentally
saved by him instead.
If he could have good relations with this person, Shen Qingqiu wouldn't be
afraid of anyone even if all of his enemies showed up together at his front door!
Even if he took it a step back and his plan to develop his good disciple Luo
Binghe was unsuccessful, as the Bai Zhan Peak Lord, Liu Qingge at least had the
strength to fight against the protagonist for a round!
Why didn't the system have a Strategy or an Intelligence value? He could
have used those points.
System: ... The system expressed its unwillingness to communicate with
this person.
In the caves, there was neither sun nor moon. Shen Qingqiu didn't feel like
he'd done much before the day came for him to exit the spirit caves.
His eyes closed, Shen Qingqiu sat cross-legged on the stone platform. He
waited until the last of the spirit power circulated through his limbs and bones
before he opened them.
He had devoted himself to cultivating for several months and was now able to
freely use the spirit power in his body, even improving his cultivation foundation
freely use the spirit power in his body, even improving his cultivation foundation
by another level.
This state increased the amount of control he had over his body to one
hundred percent, even solving his awkwardness. The brilliance of his eyes was
greatly different. Shen Qingqiu jumped down from the stone table, feeling that
his body was very light and easy. It was just as though his four limbs were like a
light breeze, his body positively old and awkward in the past.
Of course, this could also just be his own subjective feelings. The time he was
in seclusion had felt like pressing fast-forward on a video. If it were in a novel, it
would be finished in a chapter.
Before leaving, he felt that he should greet the big brother next door. He pried
open the stone door.
Shen Qingqiu cleared his throat and said: "Apprentice-brother, you are aware
of the situation? This senior brother has already finished advancing in cultivation
and is going to go up."
His voice wasn't very loud but was definitely enough for a cultivator like Liu
Qingge to hear, echoing in the empty cave.
Since there wasn't any response from that end, Shen Qingqiu didn't care.
Expressing his good intentions (?) was enough. In accordance to his will, a
strong wind under his feet carried him out of the spirit caves into the upcoming
storm.
That was right. Storm. Calculating the days, it was about time for this
incident. The scene to follow was very important and could be considered one of
the foremost little □□ in "Proud Immortal Demon Way."
Demon evildoers had managed to infiltrate into Cang Qiong Mountain sect,
triggering a chaotic commotion between humans and demons.
And the book's two important female leads would also appear in this
commotion and start to notice Luo Binghe.
The spirit caves were separated from the outside world. Inside the caves was
peace and quiet; once he exited the caves, he was met with Qiong Ding Peak set
aflame. All around were disciples in a messy confusion, alarms ringing
aflame. All around were disciples in a messy confusion, alarms ringing
everywhere.
Shen Qingqiu understood that the demon realm's evildoers had already
advanced on the mountain.
He really arrived at such a coincidental time. Just when he got this idea, he got
caught up with this riot.
Some disciples under who knows what master saw him and immediately piled
over: "Martial Uncle Shen! Martial Uncle Shen, you've finally come out!
There's big trouble, the Demon Realm's people have gone up Qiong Ding Peak
and hurt many of our apprentice-brothers!"
Shen Qingqiu touched one with his hand and was unperturbed as he said:
"Calm down. Where is the sect head?"
Disciple A cried: "The sect head went down the mountain outside to do
something. If it wasn't for this, the Demon Realm's people wouldn't take the
opportunity to attack us!"
Disciple B angrily said: "Demon Realm people are really despicable! Not only
did they swoop in, they even want to break the Rainbow Bridge linking the
Twelve Peaks. Qiong Ding Peak completely has no way to get support from
other Peaks!"
Shen Qingqiu already knew and was only asking. Right now he was genuinely
real goods at a fair price,
1 his body full of power and energy. With a heroic air
that seemed to break through the skies, he said: "No need to panic. My Cang
Qiong Peak is a strong and large division. If we deal with them, I'm afraid not
even a remnant will be left of these Demon Realm people." Once he finished
speaking, he rushed towards the path.
The disciples suddenly felt like they'd found their backbones and followed
behind Shen Qingqiu like a train. Along the way, the headless flies buzzing
around also followed them. They didn't know what happened but followed along
anyway. In the end, the line grew longer and longer until they arrived in front of
Qiong Ding Peak's audience hall.
At the entrance of Qiong Ding Peak's gate, Cang Qiong Mountain sect guards
encircled and suppressed the invading Demons. Because of the scene, all of Qing
encircled and suppressed the invading Demons. Because of the scene, all of Qing
Jing Peak's disciples 'coincidentally' all gathered on Qiong Ding Peak and met
the Shen Qingqiu who had recently left seclusion. Shen Qingqiu's first glance
was to look for Luo Binghe's figure. As expected, he was standing in the middle
of the crowd, looking solemn.
Having not seen him for a while, he'd grown a lot taller. His young man's
stature was like bamboo, giving off a fresh and elegant feeling, very eyecatching.
Seeing that the protagonist had arrived, Shen Qingqiu could calm down and
turn his attention towards the enemy.
In front of the resplendent and magnificent Qiong Ding hall, more than a
hundred clusters of demonic energy were emitted.
The leader of the demon invasion this time was clearly only a fifteen-year-old
girl.
In his heart, Shen Qingqiu laughed excitedly: 'She's come out! She's finally
come out!'
Even though the demonic style of dress is bizarre and exotic, this young girl's
style is exceptionally unusual. She had a full head of black hair combed into tiny
braids, a white complexion, rich and bold eye makeup, and bright crimson lips.
Though her age was small, it was easy to see hints of her future glamorous and
compelling beauty. Because the day was hot, she wore light clothes that were
practically just a few bolts of red veils wrapped around her body. Around her
wrists and ankles were silver rings, every movement giving rise to the jingling of
small bells.
Her bare, snow-white feet touched the ground. Shen Qingqiu couldn't restrain
himself from taking a second look at her.
It's not out of lecherous hoodlum behavior, but... traveling on bare feet all
these tens of thousands of li from the Demon Realm over mountains and waters,
young miss... don't your feet hurt?
Wrong. That wasn't the main point!
The main point was that this was the (number one) popular heroine in the
novel "Proud Immortal Demon Way" – Demon Saint, Sha Hualing.
2
Sha Hualing was a pure-blooded demon, cruel and ruthless, cunning and
artful, but fell irrevocably for Luo Binghe. After getting together with Luo
Binghe, don't even speak about killing for him; she even dared to do an
outrageous thing like betraying the demons for him.
Although this brainlessly infatuated sister invited criticism, nothing could be
done. Such a passionately devoted woman was difficult for a man to dislike.
Unfortunately, such a spicy hot sister was destined to fall into someone else's
lap. Shen Qingqiu couldn't resist anymore and glanced towards Luo Binghe. Just
then, Luo Binghe's eyes also swept over unintentionally and their gazes met.
Their eyes suddenly widened. Luo Binghe seemed about to speak but hesitated,
excited. Shen Qingqiu nodded his head at him.
At this moment, the Rainbow Bridge linking the Twelve Peaks was cut apart.
All the other Peak Lords were not on the scene but Shen Qingqiu this Elder was
here, his presence undoubtedly emboldened the disciples. Ming Fan shouted:
"Demon girl! My Shifu is already here, see you if you dare to be arrogant
anymore!"
People gathered more and more, many hundreds of angry disciples in uniform
circling in formation and trapping the invaders in the hall. A few demons wanted
to take the opportunity to break through, but Shen Qingqiu's two hands flashed,
raising them up and throwing them back to Sha Hualing's feet.
Sha Hualing was very clever and resourceful. She was arrogant earlier and
bullied Qiong Ding Peak disciples because there were no Elders on the scene.
Now, the situation didn't seem good and she quickly changed her tune: "My
purpose coming up the mountain this time originally wasn't to fight. I only
wanted to compete skills with Cang Qiong Mountain sect's many talents. My
family was curious and wanted to come up the mountains to exchange pointers
3
to see what would happen."
Shen Qingqiu waved his fan and said: "Well said, well said. Though you
explain your manner as seeking to exchange pointers, why do you have to
choose to do it while our sect head's away? Why must you cut apart our
Rainbow Bridge? What need is there to wound so many of our sect's disciples?
I've never seen such a way to seek pointers."
I've never seen such a way to seek pointers."
Sha Hualing bit her lips and pulled out her own young girl's weapon.
She lifted a stray hair from her cheek and slowly said: "This person must be
that Elder 'Xiu Ya Sword' Shen Qingqiu who moved the world. Sure enough,
seeing is believing. This Ling-er is young and has failed to control her
subordinates. If she has offended you, may this immortal master be
magnanimous and forgiving."
Though her language was soft, Shen Qingqiu wasn't one bit moved. He was
more clear about the sequence of events than anyone.
The Demon Realm's invasion this time was because Sha Hualing had just
been appointed as the demon race's Saint. Her ambition was as high as the skies
but she couldn't ground herself in reality. She wanted to enter Cang Qiong
Mountain sect's first peak in one fell swoop and seize Qiong Ding Peak's
engraved sign, bringing it back to the Demon Realm as spoils of war and proof
of her achievement. At the same time, she would use it as a demonstration to the
Immortal Realm.
Shen Qingqiu said: "Can this young miss say her judgment now?"
Unwilling to submit, Sha Hualing said: "Although right now my family is
weak, that is only because you have many people. That's why Ling-er doesn't
dare make a judgment."
Shen Qingqiu put on the airs of an Elder as smoothly as a fish back in water
and said: "Oh?"
With red lips and shining teeth, Sha Hualing offered a way that seemed fair
and just.
"Why don't we each choose three representatives and hold three matches here
right now?"
In the original work, this section was considered a small major plot point so
Shen Qingqiu could remember it fairly clearly.
The first trial was Shen Qingqiu vs. the demons' single-armed elder. In order
to highlight Shen Qingqiu's scum qualities, he used despicable methods to win.
Comparing him to Luo Binghe's open and aboveboard behavior in the third
Comparing him to Luo Binghe's open and aboveboard behavior in the third
match resulted in a strong contrast.
And here, Shen Qingqiu won't so easily discredit his own image!
The single-armed elder was a purple-black color all over his body, silent. He
listened to Sha Hualing's direction and walked forward to a spot of open ground.
Shen Qingqiu's own division disciples at the outskirts cheered him on. He
knows this single-armed elder had some weight. He gave a small smile: "You
only have one arm. Even if I win like this, it is still not an honest victory."
"Oh? Then what do you want to do?"
Shen Qingqiu smiled slightly, spreading his fan open with a shake. He waved
it twice: "I don't need even a single hand."
