Chapter 1249: Exposed
Due to being at the lowest level of secret, the piece of bone did not go into detail, only containing a list and some simple descriptions.
[The fifth, Abyssal monster, Soul Shrieker]
As soon as Gu Qing Shan read this name, he felt every bit of blood in his body freezing in place.
I personally killed the Soul Shrieker and buried its countless years of efforts.
The Soul Shrieker.
Must hate me to its very core.
But during the Grudgeful Spirits Apocalypse, as soon as it saw me, it completely gave up on revenge.
Fearful and in despair, this ex-Deity of [Chaos] would rather enter Primal Chaos and completely disappear than fight me to the death once more.
——-it must have already seen what was happening to me once before that it gave up on its intentions.
It feared whatever was occurring.
In the empty Bookkeeping Ward, the big orange cat put down the piece of bone, his eyes full of doubt.
Everything was hard to discern.
It was as if countless shadows were hiding in the darkness, preparing to lunge forward and completely devour him.
Information.
I need more information.
What exactly did the Soul Shrieker see when it first entered the great tomb?
“Meow!”
The orange cat suddenly perked up his ears and uttered an inaudible meow.
Instantly, he vanished where he stood.
With the Six Paths Great Mountain sword flying in front, the orange cat charged at unbelievable speed through the ventilation port where it came in from.
Once again, all the defensive pieces of bones were triggered for a split second before returning to normal.
A group of guards ran over, but once again got nothing for their troubles, not even a strand of hair.
They couldn’t help but exchange glances.
...
Like a bolt of lightning.
The orange cat turned into a blurred shadow, running almost as fast as a flying sword.
He had already put the Six Paths Great Mountain sword away as he sped along the winding main road.
“What’s the matter, gongzi?” Shannu anxiously asked.
“Someone is approaching my formations” Gu Qing Shan sent his voice.
Shannu was surprised.
If someone entered Li Qiu Yu’s dwellings right now, they would discover Li Qiu Shan’s disappearance and Li Qiu Yu sleeping inside countless defensive formations.
That would be very troublesome!
The orange cat was constantly using [Ground Shrink] to move, but since several regions of the city were being protected by unique barriers, he couldn’t do anything other than stopping frequently to change his direction before continuing forward.
Finally, the orange cat reached Li Qiu Yu’s cave dwellings.
When he looked, he found that the window he didn’t close when he left was still open, and so was his door, as well as a figure leaving from his room.
In other words, this figure had already discovered that Li Qiu Shan wasn’t in his room.
——-Thousand Blades Saint Venerate – Li Chun Dao!
He left Li Qiu Shan’s bedroom and headed to Li Qiu Yu’s room.
He was just a few steps away, reaching his hand out to open the door.
The formations are about to be triggered!
Why were there cultivation-type formations in Li Qiu Yu’s room?
Why is Li Qiu Shan not in his room?
These would be obvious and irreconcilable holes in his disguise that anyone would be able to recognize if they thought about it for a bit.
「 Gu Qing Shan, quickly think of something! 」the Earth sword shouted.
“I got it!” Gu Qing Shan replied.
Almost at the same time, a voice rang from inside the dwellings:
“Sister, why are you sleeping so early? Where is Qiu Shan?”
Li Chun Dao called out as he reached for the door to Li Qiu Yu’s room.
——from across the door, he could already sense Li Qiu Yu’s periodic breathing.
Boom!!!
An intense sound of impact.
That came from outside the dwellings!
Li Chun Dao’s expression changed, swinging his Blade to cut through the wall and jump out.
“Who dared to cause a commotion here!”
He shouted.
A sword was infinitely enlarging itself right in front of his vision.
Bang!
Intense wind howled, causing shockwaves to ripple.
At the very last moment, a Blade managed to catch the sword and pushed the other party away
Someone called out:
“Save me, big brother Chun Dao!”
Li Chun Dao turned towards that direction.
Li Qiu Shan was covered in blood, laying on the ground.
He looked back in front of him.
Sword saint Gu Qing Shan was silently hovering in mid-air, watching him with an expressionless face.
Li Chun Dao immediately leapt forward to shield Li Qiu Shan.
All of his hairs were standing on their ends, his eyes emanating overwhelming killing intent.
“Bastard, you’d even harm a child!”
Li Chun Dao clenched his teeth and spread both arms wide.
Instantly, ten Blades neatly lined up, hovering in the air.
But Gu Qing Shan coldly laughed and curtly said: “Do you really believe I don’t know what you’re doing here?”
Li Chun Dao was surprised.
He wasn’t in a hurry to attack and instead formed a seal in his hand.
Hoong——–
A loud alarm resounded through the night sky, causing even the ocean above the sky to resonate with it.
The sleeping city had awoken from their slumber at once.
Countless guards and even bigshots of the School were notified of the commotion here.
“Big brother Chun Dao, I’ve broken through all of his defenses, kill him!” Li Qiu Shan weakly called out from behind.
Li Chun Dao’s eyebrows twitched.
But his opposition, Gu Qing Shan, was much faster.
Instantly, he vanished where he stood.
He then reappeared high in the night sky, riding his sword. He drew a blindingly bright light blue sword phantom, which cut the shroud of night apart.
Wielding his sword in one hand, he was continuously operating a formation plate with his other hand.
At the very next moment, his figure disappeared completely.
Despite how long it seemed, everything occurred in the blink of an eye.
Before Li Chun Dao could even attack, he had already fled.
At the very next moment.
Head of the School of Shan Hai, Shan Hai Qi Xia.
Old Man Embracing Bones.
Banishing Sword Saint.
Extinguishing Saintly Hands.
Every bigshot had shown themselves.
“What happened—– save Qiu Shan first!” Shan Hai Qi Xia called out.
“Yes”
Old Man Embracing Bones stepped forward, ignored Li Qiu Shan’s pain, and ripped his clothes open.
Countless terrifying sword marks appeared all over his body.
The marks were numerous and overlapping, almost like death by flaying flesh.
“This is sword qi, should we pursue him?”
“No, Gu Qing Shan had disappeared, we won’t catch him in time”
Old Man Embracing Bones took out a piece of white bone, put it on Li Qiu Shan’s body, and muttered: “Don’t move”
He then chanted an incantation.
Li Qiu Shan’s wounds began to visibly close.
“How did you escape from his sword?”
Banishing Sword Saint asked.
Li Qiu Shan seemed like he was still in shock and stuttered as he spoke: “I-I-I, I was practicing my spirit linking when he appeared—— he didn’t seem like he wanted to kill me”
“What did he tell you?” Shan Hai Qi Xia asked.
“He said that he was just passing by, noticing that my Spirit Linked fist technique was powerful and could help him explore some unique locations in the great tomb, so he wanted to take me with him” Li Qiu Shan replied.
Everyone exchanged glances and went silent.
Indeed.
[Inch Desolation] is such a powerful Spirit Linked technique that it would certainly be used in exploring the great tomb, breaking through some of the defenses within.
No wonder even Gu Qing Shan felt tempted by it.
——-this was surely true.
“And then what?” Old Man Embracing Bones asked.
Li Qiu Shan continued: “Then, I naturally refused, saying that using such means to capture people is unbecoming of a sword cultivator. If he truly was strong, then he should stand still and let me punch him or I wouldn’t help him even if I died”
Everyone exchanged glances.
Stand still and let you punch him?
That punch of yours broke through nearly every single bit of the School of Shan Hai’s defenses.
Gu Qing Shan...
“So he let you hit him?” Old Man Embracing Bones asked.
“No! He just laughed and caught me, preparing to leave” Li Qiu Shan pointed at the wall of the dwellings.
“I knew that there was a defensive bone here, so when he caught me, I took that chance to punch the wall twice”
Old Man Embracing Bones hovered over to examine.
“The bone was destroyed, definitely from his [Inch Desolation]” Old Man Embracing Bones confirmed.
Li Qiu Shan let out a heavy sigh: “I knew that this would cause a commotion and might draw people’s attention, which might be able to save me”
“How did Gu Qing Shan react at the time?”
“He was surprised and almost wanted to kill me on the spot, but ultimately stopped himself, saying that I should suffer a bit of pain, then beat me up like this”
The bigshots turned to Li Chun Dao.
Li Chun Dao confirmed: “That was indeed the case, when I sensed that all-destroying explosion and came out to look, I was almost killed by Gu Qing Shan. At that time, Qiu Shan was already wounded by the sword qi, lying motionlessly on the ground”
Then, this must have been the truth.
Li Chun Dao thought for a bit, then said: “He also said something else”
“What?”
Li Chun Dao imitated Gu Qing Shan’s tone and said: “Do you really believe I don’t know what you’re doing here?”
The bigshots went silent again.
For some reason, Gu Qing Shan felt the atmosphere had silently changed.
The attitude of some of them seemed to have changed somehow.
They no longer had any reason to be cautious of Li Qiu Shan.
After all, this child’s background was extremely clean, having been confirmed many times.
And he was only a child.
After these events, he would surely come to hate Gu Qing Shan.
Banishing Sword Saint casually said: “How interesting. He’s only a single Sword Saint, even if he triumphed over three Deities, his only outcome would be death if he truly charged into the great tomb”
“That’s right, and he even had the gall to come to our School and try to kidnap a 13-year-old child” Shan Hai Qi Xia continued.
She walked up to Li Qiu Shan, helped him clean the blood off his face, then gently said: “Qiu Shan, there’s no need to fear, I guarantee that he won’t come again”
“Dean, is that true?”
At this point, Li Qiu Shan finally seemed to have snapped out of his shock, appearing like he was about to cry, but couldn’t cry.
Shan Hai Qi Xia stroked his head and gently replied: “It’s true, if he dares to come again, I’ll be prepared to kill him”
