Chapter 2 Qi Qingshan

This winter, the Demon Clan stirred up trouble again.

It was unlike what happened in previous years when the Demon Clan had only attacked some remote villages and sent out fierce beasts and demonic beasts as the main troops.

This time, the Demon Clan not only dispatched a large number of Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals but even Demon Commanders, Demon Princes, and Demon Kings. The location of the attack was not limited to the small border cities. They also intended to attack the areas under the jurisdiction of the nine major sects.

In just half a month, the Demon Clan’s territory in Snow Province continued to expand, and its forces were also growing rapidly, led by the Ten Great Demon Tribes.

Up to now, thousands of disciples of dozens of sects in Snow Province had died in the turmoil launched by the Demon Clan. Many small sects had been destroyed in an instant. As for ordinary humans, they had suffered countless casualties.

The Demon Clan was not taking the Primitive Alliance Treaty seriously at all.

…

On the Sword-hidden Peak, under the 10,000-year-old peach tree stood a cyan figure. The mountain wind blew up his cyan robe, and his long hair fluttered along with the wind.

The cold wind was bitingly cold, but he remained unmoved.

His bright eyes looked straight into the distance, and a peach blossom flew in front of him. His eyes followed the pink flower to return to the top of the Sword-hidden Peak, and his mind also returned to the world in front of him.

“The Demon Clan has gone too far in bullying!”

His bright eyes were full of killing intent. The person beside the tree suddenly turned into a cyan shadow and disappeared from the top of the Sword-hidden Peak.

…

On a cold night, between the snow-capped mountains, darkness gradually devoured this white world.

Phoenix-facing Valley was the nest of the Hundred Bird Demon Coalition.

The valley was filled with miasma all year round, and the terrain was extremely complicated. The valley was extremely gloomy, and the ground was covered in bones.

This was the world of the birds. Once anyone or beast set foot into the valley, they would have no chance of leaving.

The Iron-winged Eagle King, the leader of the Hundred Bird Demon Coalition, represented the new force of the demon birds in Snow Province. At the beginning of the turmoil in Snow Province, the Eagle King gathered a large number of birds to form the coalition and join the division of Snow Province.

The Eagle King, the Lightning War, was famous among the Demon Clan in Snow Province. There were many hard cities that other Demon Coalitions could not break down in a short time. As soon as the army of birds arrived, those cities were covered with dark clouds, and the defense army of the Human Clan had no power to fight back.

The huge iron wings of the Eagle King were even more extraordinary. Not only did they allow him to completely control the air during battle, but they also had absolute defensive capabilities. Withstanding a full-force attack from a Demon Prince was nothing difficult for the Eagle King.

In the center of the Phoenix-facing Valley, there was a huge ten-thousand-year-old iron tree, which was the resting place of the Eagle King and also his supply. At this time, he was standing on the trunk of the giant tree, surrounded by thousands of birds.

The Eagle King was encouraging the morale of the demon birds.

The Eagle King on the huge tree revealed his true form as an eagle, and it seemed to be filled with might. His vigorous and powerful voice caused all the flying beasts present to go mad.

After the Eagle King finished speaking, thunder-like cheers sounded in the valley. At this time, the morale of the Hundred Bird Demon Coalition was extremely high, and the atmosphere at the scene reached a climax.

Just when the demon birds were at their most excited moment-

“A motley crew dares to stir up trouble in Snow Province. You’re overestimating your abilities.”

An extremely dignified but also extremely cold voice suddenly came from afar.

Before that person could finish speaking-

Swoosh! action

A streak of extremely dazzling and enormous silver Sword Light shot down rapidly from outside the valley. This Sword Light was like a long rainbow that penetrated the sun, and it carried a powerful imposing aura and was unstoppable.

The Iron-Winged Eagle King spread his wings rapidly, but he was utterly unable to resist this Sword Light.

Boom!

“Ah!”

The powerful voice turned into a wail. Then, a series of shrill screams were heard.

In an instant, the giant tree in the center of the valley was blown to pieces, and the demon birds around the tree were turned into powder along with the explosion, leaving no bones. The Hundred Bird Demon Coalition completely disappeared in Snow Province.

The dazzling Sword Light flashed and disappeared. Several lesser demons who had survived on the edge of the Phoenix-facing Valley had long been scared out of their wits by such a scene.

A crane cry pierced through the sky. The lesser demons raised their heads and saw a white crane streaking across the sky, disappearing into the snowy mountains under the night sky.

…

A snowy mountain that towered into the clouds in the distance seemed to be especially prominent.

This place was the base of the Blood Wolf Demon League.

Under the full moon, the demon wolves gathered at the top of the snowy peak.

At the top of the snow-capped peak was a wide platform. Legend had it that in this flat area, a Demon Royal of the Wolf Tribe in the Ancient Era had flattened the peak that had pierced the sky with one claw and used this place as his cultivation place.

As the vanguard of the turmoil, the Blood Wolf Demon League won one battle after another. Wherever they went, corpses filled the place, and blood flowed like a river. Tonight, they celebrated on the top of the mountain as they took down another city of the Human Clan.

The platform was full of human corpses for them to enjoy tonight.

At the center of the mountain peak, a person sat upright.

Although this person looked like a human being, his eyes were red under the moonlight, and the two fangs at the corner of his mouth were partly hidden and partly visible. This demon wolf could turn into a human being, so he must be at least at the level of the Demon Prince.

Blood Wolves were ferocious by nature, but they had always been alone. The fact that the Wolf King could unify the Wolf Tribe showed his strength and charm.

There was no doubt that the Blood Wolf Tribe, which formed a team, had strong combat power. Not long after the turmoil began, the Wolf Tribe’s notoriety was spread all over Snow Province. Any human in Snow Province who heard the howl of the demon wolves would be terrified. The Blood Wolves slaughtered the city within one night.

Above the clouds, the surroundings were very clear. On the night of the full moon, Blood Wolves were even more excited.

Under the bright moon, the platform on the top of the mountain was bright and noisy.

Right at this moment, a projection was projected on the top of the snow-capped mountain.

Something was partly hidden and partly visible within the bright full moon.

It was a white crane.

...

A cyan-clothed swordsman was sitting on it.

All of the Blood Wolves raised their heads in unison and howled.

The Wolf King wanted to say something.

However, a beam of bright light suddenly shot down from the sky. When it approached the wolf pack, the bright light suddenly turned into several streaks of sharp silver Sword Light. Like heavy rain and hail, they violently shot on the snow peak and the Blood Wolves.

The Wolf Tribe had no way to fight back.

There was no suspense about the outcome, which was destruction.

After a series of shootings, all the Blood Wolves’ bodies were gone, and the snow-capped mountain peak was riddled with holes.

With a cry from the crane, the swordsman in cyan drove the white crane and disappeared into the clouds.

…

A quiet abyss, where there was no daylight, was the lair of the Earth Bug Demon League. It was the Sea-defying Abyss.

In the underground cave, two subtle sounds could be heard. It seemed that they were plotting something.

...

“Your Highness, I think the Human Race is about to die right away.”

“This time, we did bring great destruction to the Human Clan in Snow Province, but we can’t be careless. The nine sects in Snow Province haven’t been fully dispatched yet.” “Your Highness, you can rest assured. According to your plan, at least after the ten Demon Leagues start a war with the Nine Great Sects of the Human Clan, we will be able to guarantee our escape unscathed.”

“Well, I’m sure you can handle it.”

“Thank you for your compliment, Your Highness. I’ve also set up various protective boundary formations here. I believe that we’ll definitely be the biggest winner in the division of Snow Province.”

“Humph, the other Demon Leagues all have their own plans. We have to be on guard. By the way, is Swordsmanship-seeking Sect taking any action?”

“Your Highness, there is no news about them yet. As the second largest sect in Snow Province, they are very calm this time.”

“The Human Clan and the Demon Clan are at war. Let us be in charge of the task of eradicating the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. Although it will be a little tricky, we will get more benefits.”

“Your Highness is wise!”

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the cave.

The Earth Bug Demon Prince was about to go out and check what was going on.

Swoosh!

A beam of silver Sword Light swept over from the darkness and instantly illuminated the dark world. Countless demon bugs were greatly frightened. The three layers of protective boundary formations a hundred miles away were instantly breached, and the strong light could not be weakened at all.

It was powerful and incomparably tyrannical.

The Earth Bug Demon Prince desperately used all his Demon Aura but was unable to withstand the powerful Sword Light. He was instantly blasted to smithereens.

Even before his death, this Demon-Prince-ranked expert still found it hard to believe.

“Who on earth did this? Who would be so powerful? Ah! That cyan shirt… Swordsmanship-seeking Sect?!”

Wherever the powerful Sword Light passed, the demon bugs were all turned into meat paste. From the front to the back, the Sword Light swept through the entire Sea-defying Abyss, wiping out the Earth Bugs.

…

As the sun rose from the east, the first rays of the morning sun shone on the 10,000-year-old peach tree on the Sword-hidden Peak and on the bright and deep eyes of Qi Qingshan.

“Did you go out last night, Master?”

A sweet voice sounded. It naturally came from Lixue.

“You’re here. I went out to deal with some trivial matters,” Qi Qingshan said with a smile and then sat on the stone chair under the peach tree.

Although Lixue was curious about why her master went out so late at night, she didn’t ask much. She knew that her master had his own reasons.

Lixue slowly walked to the back of Qi Qingshan and took out a wooden comb made of unknown materials from her bosom. As usual, she gently combed Qi Qingshan’s messy hair.

Qi Qingshan smiled knowingly. It was as if he was saying, “This girl actually carries a comb with her at all times? Good, very good!”

Then, Qi Qingshan slowly closed his eyes and entered a state of selflessness.

This day, one thing shocked all the human beings and demons in Snow Province.

The Ten Great Demon Leagues, the forces that had brought calamity to the Human Clan in half a month, had actually been destroyed overnight.

Overnight, the lairs of the Ten Great Demon Leagues were annihilated.

At first, most people did not believe the news of the destruction of the Demon Leagues, but those cities that were almost conquered by the demons were calm today. Finally, some martial artists could not wait to explore the lairs of the Demon Clan on their own.

When they arrived at the lairs of the Demon Clan, they were stunned. Those places that were originally filled with Demon Auras and those living hells that made people flinch had now become hells, the hells of the demons.

It was done by a man, but no one could see his face clearly. They only knew that he was wearing a cyan robe and riding a white crane. Overnight, he single-handedly destroyed the lairs of the Ten Great Demon Leagues, which made the Demon Clan in Snow Province tremble with fear.

After that night, the description of that swordsman made by the Divine Design Valley appeared on the Heavenly Frozen Peak.

“Riding a white crane in cyan on a cold night, killing the demons amidst the wind and snow.”

This poem aroused infinite reverie. No one knew what wonderful things had happened that night. Only this poem was widely spread.

In the following period, the turmoil launched by the Demon Clan was eased, and it could even be said that it was basically pacified. The morale of the Human Clan soared, and they took back the cities that had been taken in one breath.

As for who the swordsman in cyan was, it had become a hot topic among the people in Snow Province. Everyone assumed that he was the legendary genius of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, Qi Qingshan.

The major sects in Snow Province, as well as some demons with quite some knowledge, naturally knew that this legendary swordsman was indeed Qi Qingshan of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.

Qi Qingshan had become the No. 1 Expert in Snow Province.
