That cultivation speed was several times faster than usual.
Li Qingshan slowly improved himself. He had been cultivating all night until dawn.
The next day, Li Qingshan left the bamboo hut. When he was taking a walk in the forest, Little Fox ran over and asked, âWhat happened to you last night?â
âItâs nothing. I was just feeling vexed. Iâll be fine after resting for a while.â Li Qingshan said as he stroked Little Fox.
âI thought something happened to you.â Little Fox said worriedly.
âNothing happened. I live in seclusion on Repentance Cliff and have no enemies. What could happen?â Li Qingshan shook his head.
âThen letâs start cultivating.â Little Fox pulled Li Qingshan along.
Li Qingshan brought Little Fox to the top of the mountain and practiced katas in the sea of clouds to improve himself.
Little Fox wanted to lie in Li Qingshanâs arms at night to continue cultivating.
However, Aâwei, who had disappeared for a long time, came with new news.
Li Qingshan had no choice but to leave Little Fox behind. He boiled a pot of tea in the pavilion and chatted with Aâwei.
âSir, I didnât expect such a big change to happen to Yuhua Sect when I disappeared.â Aâwei said emotionally.
His Master-in-name, Feng Baiyu, had been assassinated.
His senior had become the Sect Leader of Yuhua Sect in a single leap and had carried out drastic reforms in the sect.
Aâwei thought it was a prank when he heard the news.
However, after careful investigation, he found that it was actually true.
He immediately packed his things and rushed back overnight.
âHave you paid your respects to Feng Baiyu after your return?â Li Qingshan asked.
Aâwei nodded and said, âI went to pay my respects to him as soon as I came back. After all, heâs my Master. Although he took me into Yuhua Sect with ulterior motives, he had been very good to me all these years.â
Li Qingshan nodded and poured a cup of tea for Aâwei.
âEverything is gone after death. I didnât expect the Heavenly Path Sect to be so decisive and assassinate him.â Li Qingshan sighed.
Everyone knew that Feng Baiyuâs death had something to do with Heavenly Path Sect.
It was only because of the reform within Yuhua Sect that Little Nine could not take time to avenge Feng Baiyu. Hence that matter had been suppressed and did not erupt.
Aâwei took the tea and took a sip, âSir, Heavenly Path Sect has always kept a group of assassins. They come from different races, including Human Race and Monster Clan. According to my information, the one who killed Master this time is Crow, the number one assassin of Heavenly Path Sect.â
âCrow. Is he very powerful?â Li Qingshan asked.
âNinth Heaven Great Venerable!â Aâwei said seriously.
âAre you confident of killing him?â Li Qingshan took a sip of tea and asked casually.
Ninth Heaven Great Venerable was no longer worth mentioning to him. Aâwei was a genius, but he had lost control of his spiritual Qi earlier and hence seemed a bit dull-witted.
Since Li Qingshan had cured the leakage of his spiritual Qi, Aâweiâs strength had been improving.
The current Aâwei had already reached the Great Venerable Plane.
âSir, give me another three years, and I will definitely kill him.â Aâwei said solemnly.
Although he had already stepped into the Great Venerable Plane, he was still unable to deal with most of the Ninth Heaven experts.
âJust now, I wrote the character âcalmâ nine times. When you leave, take it with you to kill that assassin named Crow. Bring his head to your Masterâs grave to pay respects and comfort his soul in Heaven.â Li Qingshan said.
He had written the nine characters of âcalmâ when his emotions were in a mess after seeing what happened in the Stele World of the Undying Holy Buddha.
Those nine words were more than enough to kill a Ninth Heaven Great Venerable.
Aâwei stared at Li Qingshan with wide eyes, âSir, youâre so powerful?â
âHave you discovered the news of the Sword God of the Old Millennium Calendar?â Li Qingshan didnât answer and changed the topic.
âNo. It seems that the battle from 3,000 years ago and all other related matters have been deliberately erased. Thereâs no such news within the Changhen Demonic Sect. If we want to know the truth, we must go to the various sects passed down for thousands of years and search them thoroughly.â Aâwei shook his head and said regretfully.
âItâs fine if there isnât any. Itâs getting late. You should leave Yuhua Sect and find the assassin named Crow.â Li Qingshan stood up and entered the bamboo hut. He took out the nine characters of âcalmâ he had just written and handed them to Aâwei.
Aâwei took it and looked at it. His heart trembled, and as if he had been sucked into that piece of paper, he saw a majestic Tathagata Golden Body in the paper.
âWake up!â Li Qingshan shouted coldly to help Aâwei get out of the illusion.
Those nine characters of âcalmâ only contained one percent of the illusion that Li Qingshan saw, and it sucked Aâwei in.
âSir, with these nine words, I will definitely bring back Crowâs head.â Aâwei said firmlv.
Li Qingshan nodded, âI believe you. But you should fold the paper first. Donât open it again.â
Aâwei folded the paper and kept it before leaving the Repentance Cliff.
He went to find Crow, the number one assassin of the Heavenly Path Sect.
After he left, Li Qingshan continued to meditate and cultivate, meditating and comprehending Paths. He did not take what had happened to heart.
He believed Aâwei would bring Crowâs head back.
That could be considered his contribution to Yuhua Sect to comfort Feng Baiyuâs spirit in Heaven.
Although Feng Baiyu had crippled his root bone and cultivation, he was forced by the various large sects.
Moreover, the original owner had indeed made a mistake.
After that, he did his best to take care of Little Nine. Just for that alone, Li Qingshan wanted to avenge him.
Right then, his disciple, Aâwei, had taken Li Qingshanâs words to kill Crow and bring back his head. That could be considered as a closure..
