73: Kill the True Lord
Li Yan panicked slightly at the sight.
He hadn't expected Song Ming to have such a fiery temper.
Without a word, he had thrown out the young Cultivator from Jin Yang Cave.
Now, they had angered True Lord Qingfeng.
These Grandmasters from the Great Qian would have a tough time ahead.
However, unlike Li Yan, the remaining Grandmasters of the Great Qian secretly cheered.
Seeing the young Cultivator die here, they felt an extreme sense of satisfaction.
In the past, these Jin Yang Cave Cultivators were arrogant, treating them like dogs.
Yet, the Great Qian was weak and helpless.
They could only be at their mercy, even risking their lives to clear a safe passage for them.
They had long harbored resentment.
Now that this young man had acted decisively, they naturally applauded.
However, what followed was the wrath of True Lord Qingfeng of Jin Yang Cave.
All of them combined would probably not be enough to fight him, let alone resist.
Seeing Li Qingfeng's implicitly angry gaze, they couldn't help but worry for Song Ming.
Li Yan anxiously stepped forward, shielding Song Ming behind him, and said to Li Qingfeng, "True Lord, I am willing to pay the price for Song Ming's mistake, I only ask that you spare his life!"
The incident had already occurred.
A Cultivator from Jin Yang Cave had indeed died.
No matter what, this matter could not end well.
So Li Yan was prepared to trade his life for Song Ming's.
With his earlier action, Song Ming had already proven his strength.
Being able to so easily throw a Cultivator from Jin Yang Cave away was enough to show the strength of this new Inspector of the Great Qian.
As long as he could be protected, the Great Qian would have hope for a resurgence.
Li Qingfeng narrowed his eyes, looking at Li Yan with interest.
"He killed one of my Disciples from Jin Yang Cave, and right before my eyes. How will you save him?"
Li Yan didn't waste words.
"A life for a life!"
With that, he was about to leap towards the small island in the center of the lake.
However, Song Ming grabbed him.
"If he's killed, he's killed. What can you do about it?"
Upon hearing this, Li Qingfeng's expression immediately turned extremely grim.
"What arrogance! Don't think you're very strong just because you killed a Disciple from my Jin Yang Cave. Don't you know there are always people stronger than you, and a sky beyond the sky!"
Song Ming was too lazy to argue with him further.
He directly cast a Blazing Sun Divine Thunder.
Instantly, streaks of purplish-red lightning appeared out of thin air, like venomous snakes, viciously tearing towards Li Qingfeng, who stood rooted to the spot.
The range was nearly six hundred meters.
And Li Qingfeng and Song Ming were only about five or six meters apart.
There was absolutely no possibility of dodging.
Li Qingfeng's expression also changed, and swirling green Qi appeared around him, instantly protecting him.
But he clearly underestimated Song Ming's damage.
With the increase in Rank and spiritual attributes, the Blazing Sun Divine Thunder's current damage was already over four million.
Not to mention the 100% Spell critical hit chance.
This one skill dealt nearly six million true damage.
Li Qingfeng only had time to cast the green Qi to defend, but the green Qi only barely held for an instant.
It was then directly shattered by the endless lightning snakes.
For the first time, Li Qingfeng's face showed an expression of terror, and he was about to use his movement technique to escape.
But the surroundings were all wildly dancing lightning snakes.
He had nowhere to retreat.
The feeling of death instantly enveloped his entire body.
"Wait, I..."
Li Qingfeng finally panicked, about to beg for mercy.
But the surrounding purplish-red lightning snakes instantly enveloped him.
After a scream, a charred corpse fell limply to the ground.
Li Yan's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
He had been prepared to trade his life for Song Ming's.
But Song Ming, in just one encounter, had directly slain this True Lord Qingfeng of Jin Yang Cave.
Without any hesitation.
How could this not shock him!
The other Grandmasters of the Great Qian also had expressions as if they had seen a ghost.
They had worked for Jin Yang Cave for many years, yet they had no idea when such a master had appeared in the Great Qian.
He had easily killed a True Lord.
One must know that Jin Yang Cave had a total of thirty-six True Lords.
This True Lord Qingfeng could Rank among the top fifteen in Jin Yang Cave.
The remaining two Disciples were also stronger than them.
Yet, they were so easily killed.
"My goodness, when did such a fierce person appear in our Great Qian!"
"And so young! I really thought this was a fake earlier!"
"Haha, well killed! These Cultivators from Jin Yang Cave are not human, they deserve to die!"
"It's satisfying, but Jin Yang Cave lost an Elder. If they investigate afterwards, what will we do?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's excited expressions immediately froze.
That's right, their Great Qian was, after all, in decline.
They simply couldn't withstand the accountability from Jin Yang Cave.
But the person had already been killed, and they were now at a loss.
So, everyone turned their gaze to Li Yan, hoping he could offer a solution.
But Li Yan was also having a headache at the moment.
In contrast, Song Ming's expression was much calmer.
He had already killed him.
At worst, after destroying the Thousand Demon Cave, he would make an extra trip to Jin Yang Cave.
It was just a matter of running a few more errands.
"Alright, when we go out, we'll say we encountered a Demon Emperor from the Thousand Demon Cave, and True Lord Qingfeng was unfortunately entangled by it and perished here."
Li Yan finally said.
Everyone exchanged glances and nodded.
Song Ming then spoke, "Do you have the exact location of the Thousand Demon Cave?"
Li Yan was stunned, not understanding what he meant, but still honestly replied, "Yes, we have explored these Immortal Sect Ruins with the Cultivators of Jin Yang Cave for many years, so of course we know the exact location of the Thousand Demon Cave!"
"Good, give me the detailed map, and then you can all go back!" Song Ming said.
"Go back? Go where?" Li Yan was a bit confused.
"To the Great Qian, of course. You don't need to worry about the matters of Jin Yang Cave; I will go to the Jin Yang Cave mountain gate later and reason with them!"
Li Yan heard this and gave a bitter smile.
If those arrogant Cultivators from Jin Yang Cave could listen to reason, they wouldn't be here!
However, Li Yan still told Song Ming the exact location of the Thousand Demon Cave.
Then he asked, "That place is very dangerous; even the True Lords of Jin Yang Cave don't dare to go deep. Why do you ask for the exact location of the Thousand Demon Cave?"
Song Ming said indifferently, "To slay demons, of course!"
"Ah?" Li Yan's mouth dropped open, almost thinking he had misheard.
Going to someone's lair to slay demons? Are young people nowadays all this arrogant?
However, before he could speak to dissuade him, a beast roar came from behind him!
Li Yan's expression immediately changed, and he turned to look, only to see a golden-furred lion, about two zhang tall, appear on a nearby hill.
Next to this lion demon, there were two other demons whose aura was no less than his!
