Chapter 619 - 286: Lin Qingyi Arrives (2)

This phrase has been deeply engraved in Li Lu'Er's bones since childhood.

"I don't know either. My mother didn't tell me. Since I grew up in the fishing village, others also call my mother Lu'Er's mom, so I'm not really sure what her name is." Li Lu'Er said somewhat awkwardly.

"I see."

"She really is a mysterious person," Li Hengsheng remarked.

But just at this moment, Li Hengsheng suddenly frowned. He looked up at the sky and saw countless things flying over in the pitch-black night sky.

The sound of the wind rushing made Li Hengsheng's expression change.

With his sharp eyes, he saw that it was actually countless Sky-soaring Doves!

They were a type of flying spirit beast, each one not particularly fierce, but gathered in thousands, that was a different story.

It wasn't the first time the Ghost Race had attacked at night, so Li Hengsheng didn't panic. He raised his hand and shot out a burst of true essence, directly striking a distant bronze bell to ring it!

As soon as the bell rang, all of Lingxia Pass knew that an enemy attack was coming!

When they saw the sky full of Sky-soaring Doves, they knew there must be a master from the Ghost-controlling Race among the enemies.

The battle was on the verge of breaking out.

Almost an incense stick's time later, Lingxia Pass was attacked by the Ghost Race, and the strong individuals of the Human Race also stepped forward to fight the Ghost Race.

But this time, there was actually a master among the Ghost Race!

The City Lord of Lingxia Pass, an elder grandmaster from the Iron Saber Sect, was severely injured in less than three rounds against the opponent's commander!

With the commander severely injured, the morale of the Ghost Race surged, and for a time, they actually suppressed the momentum of the Human Race.

Seeing the City Lord injured, Li Hengsheng, who was slaughtering among the Ghost Race, directly took action and confronted the opponent in a move!

The Yin Yang Realm was unleashed.

Li Hengsheng's Overlord Immortal Spear had long been cultivated to the deepest level, and this spear also forced the opponent to take two steps back.

Yet when Li Hengsheng saw the person's face clearly, he found it to be a familiar one.

"General De Kang."

Li Hengsheng frowned and spoke.

General De Kang looked at Li Hengsheng, then revealed a smile: "Should I call you Li Hengsheng or Li Yun?"

"Whatever you like."

Li Hengsheng squinted his eyes and looked at General De Kang.

At this moment, General De Kang had actually surpassed the grandmaster realm, stepping into the threshold of the Great Martial Sect.

Although just a beginner in the Great Martial Sect, his strength was unmatched against an ordinary grandmaster.

"Hengsheng, go quickly, I'll cover here." The elder of the Iron Saber Sect, though seriously injured, still stepped in front of Li Hengsheng.

"City Lord, you are already seriously injured, let me handle this, rest assured, with just a newbie in the Great Martial Sect, he won't be able to kill me."

Li Hengsheng frowned and spoke.

"But..."

"Li Yun, you really are quite arrogant." General De Kang took a deep breath: "A death order has been given above; we must take down your Lingxia Pass today, which is why I was sent. You are but at Innate Perfection, trying to contend with me, it'll take another hundred years."

As soon as he finished speaking, General De Kang immediately attacked Li Hengsheng.

Li Hengsheng dared not be careless against General De Kang.

The Yin Yang Realm was in full force, with his own divine body exerted to the utmost.

But after all, Li Hengsheng was only at Innate Perfection. Even if the divine body was strong, at most it matched a grandmaster's strength. Even with the Overlord Immortal Spear in hand, he fell into a disadvantage, unable to contend directly with General De Kang.

The battlefield situation was changing rapidly, and Li Hengsheng suffered great losses.

But at this critical moment, Li Hengsheng finally revealed his trump card!

When he unfurled his scroll, the world turned dark, and even General De Kang's expression dramatically changed!

"The Black Coffin from Beyond the Heavens!"

How could General De Kang not have heard of this immortal treasure?

But he never expected that the Black Coffin from Beyond the Heavens was in Li Hengsheng's possession.

Li Hengsheng forcibly activated the immortal treasure, almost draining his Innate True Essence, and the Black Coffin from Beyond the Heavens immediately suppressed General De Kang!

General De Kang never anticipated meeting defeat here.

With the commander defeated, the rest were nothing more than a ragtag group, and Lingxia Pass once again claimed victory.

Initially, Li Hengsheng didn't want to reveal his trump card, for possessing an immortal treasure would invite coveting if known.

But since it was already revealed, there was no turning back.

And after a period of warfare, the Human Race Alliance was no longer content with defense, deciding to retaliate, launching an assault on the Cloud Wasteland.

This decision met with much opposition.

The high ranks of the Human Race Alliance were also deeply divided.

Hence, the Human Race Alliance split into two, with one part heading into the Cloud Wasteland for conquest, and the other remaining to defend.

Facing this situation, Li Changqing sensed that if the division persisted, the Human Race's strength would be halved, easily leading to defeat.

So Li Changqing couldn't help but suspect someone in the high ranks of the Human Race had turned to the Longevity Sect.

But without evidence, and with Li Changqing also unsuited to appear, he had remained inactive for years, leading many to doubt whether he was still the Painting Immortal. Some wanted Li Changqing to come forth, but he refused, with Monarch Yuehan spreading rumors that Li Changqing's cultivation was just a brief bloom.

Thus, should he appear now, he might become a target for all.

The war situation grew increasingly grim, Xue Qianbai and the others took to the battlefield, and in the Cloud Wasteland crusade, countless from the Human Race perished.

Many former acquaintances also perished one by one in the Cloud Wasteland.

Two months later.

Li Hengsheng returned from Lingxia Pass to Changting Town, a weary look on his face.

"Father, I want to go to the Cloud Wasteland."

Li Hengsheng spoke solemnly to Li Changqing.

"Have you joined the hawks too?" Li Changqing frowned, looking at Li Hengsheng.

Li Hengsheng clenched his fist tightly: "I don't care about hawks or doves, I go to the Cloud Wasteland for revenge."

After saying this, Li Hengsheng took a deep breath: "Master died in battle in the Cloud Wasteland."

"Xu Muhai?"

Li Changqing was also somewhat surprised, having just learned of this news.

"Yes."

Li Hengsheng said gravely: "I must personally avenge Master."

"Ah."

Li Changqing sighed lightly, unsure of what to say for a moment.

Yet at this moment, an unexpected visitor arrived in Changting Town.

The visitor, after entering the Yan family, bowed respectfully upon seeing Li Changqing.

"Li the Painting Immortal."

The visitor turned out to be Lin Qingyi.

"What are you doing here?" Seeing Lin Qingyi, Li Changqing became wary.

"I am here on the orders of Realm Master Cangyuan to find Li Hengsheng." Lin Qingyi looked at Li Hengsheng beside him.

"Monarch Yuehan still hasn't given up? Looks like he's really impatient to die." At this moment, Li Changqing was filled with killing intent.

"Li the Painting Immortal misunderstood." Lin Qingyi quickly explained: "Actually, the Realm Master is concerned about the world's beings, which is why he sent me to find Li Hengsheng."

Lin Qingyi explained: "The Realm Master suspects that the Longevity Sect might be behind this war. The Realm Master knows that the Longevity Sect wants to revive an immortal, and if that truly happens, things will become uncontrollable, possibly leading to massive casualties and devastation throughout the Cangyuan Realm. Thus, the Realm Master sent me regarding this matter to find Li Hengsheng."

"Does Monarch Yuehan want to ask about the whereabouts of the World Origin Pearl?" Li Hengsheng sneered: "Does he plan to use the Cangyuan Seal and the World Origin Pearl to become immortal and thus end this war, is that it?"

Lin Qingyi laughed without speaking.

"Don't you think that's currently the best option? Otherwise, who knows how many will perish next?" Lin Qingyi pondered and said.

"Monarch Yuehan hasn't seen the stele at the end of the Black and White Forbidden Area. The idea that merging the Cangyuan Seal and World Origin Pearl can lead to immortality is merely a hearsay. He actually believes it?"

Li Hengsheng scoffed.
