Chapter 165: Chapter 161 Master

The demons have many clans, and the talents among different clans also vary.

The Fox Demon Clan is intelligent and crafty, with a high level of intelligence. Although not every Fox Demon in the clan is extremely smart, they tend to be smarter compared to other Demon Races.

Li Fan was still thinking about persuading Yue Qingqiu to switch sides, but now it seems that everything is within the Demon Saint’s calculations.

Yue Qingqiu’s meeting with him was orchestrated by the Demon Saint from the start, clearly not a coincidence. The Demon Saint used Yue Qingqiu’s purity, and though he knew it, it was an open scheme.

He could easily have stopped those Demon King descendants from being unruly, yet he chose not to intervene.

Li Fan knew it was planned by the Demon Saint yet felt helpless; this matter had nothing to do with Yue Qingqiu, and naturally, Li Fan developed a fondness for this pure Fox Demon.

However, the Demon Saint wanting to use this affection to keep him in Yun Meng Swamp was clearly an impossibility.

"They might still trouble you," Yue Qingqiu said to Li Fan.

"It’s okay, Lord Demon Saint doesn’t want me dead, so they can’t stir up too much trouble," Li Fan replied. If anything really happens, Li Fan doesn’t believe that the Demon Saint won’t intervene.

"But it will still be somewhat troublesome," Yue Qingqiu said softly.

"Being under someone else’s roof, there is no other way," Li Fan said indifferently, shaking his head.

"Not entirely," Yue Qingqiu showed a thoughtful expression, and when Li Fan looked at him, he heard Yue Qingqiu say, "Why don’t you come to stay at my place."

Li Fan blinked, looking at the other; Yue Qingqiu’s eyes remained clear, not at all like he was joking.

"Is there anything inappropriate?" Yue Qingqiu asked upon seeing Li Fan’s look, "This way, I won’t have to come here every day, wouldn’t that be more convenient?"

Indeed...

Li Fan realized that Yue Qingqiu was still quite ’smart’.

If he accepted Yue Qingqiu’s offer to stay at his mansion, those demons might want to skin him alive.

"In the human world, there is etiquette between men and women; living together might be too intimate," Li Fan said.

"Even if not sharing the same bed, must etiquette still be observed?" Yue Qingqiu asked.

"Yes," Li Fan nodded.

Yue Qingqiu nodded as well, realizing it was human etiquette.

"Then I’ll cultivate here; would that be acceptable?" Yue Qingqiu thought for a moment and asked.

Li Fan looked at her and said, "Yes, that’s feasible..."

"I will go to see Lord Demon Saint. If he doesn’t stop them, I’ll cultivate here," Yue Qingqiu said as she floated away, clearly not foolish.

It was just that she seemed unaccustomed to worldly things, or perhaps she hadn’t experienced the order of the human world; she still viewed many things from the perspective of the Demon Race.

Demon Saint Palace.

At this time, the Peacock Demon King strode inside the palace and bowed to the Demon Saint, saying, "Lord Demon Saint."

"What’s the matter?" the Demon Saint, half-reclining there, asked.

"Lord Demon Saint, there is unusual movement at the outskirts of Yun Meng Swamp; it seems human cultivators are showing signs of invasion," said the Peacock Demon King.

"Oh?" The Demon Saint showed some interest, smiling at the Peacock Demon King, "Are they trying to penetrate deep into Yun Meng Swamp? Is it for that little human fellow?"

"It’s not known yet, but demons have been sent to investigate," replied the Peacock Demon King.

The Demon Saint’s alluring eyes flashed with a different color, reminding the Peacock Demon King: "If you’re going out, be cautious. Stay in the misty area. That little fellow is from Li Mountain; he probably has an extraordinary identity and might bring Li Mountain Sword Cultivators into Yun Meng Swamp."

Of course, even if the Li Mountain Sword Cultivators come, they must stay here.

They haven’t shown humans their true strength in a long time. The constant concession was to amass power.

Of course, it’s still far from enough.

The number of human cultivators is overwhelming. Although humans enjoy fighting, when they unite, they can be very formidable.

"Thank you, Lord Demon Saint, for your warning. I will inform them," the Peacock Demon King bowed; the Demon Saint lazily said, "You may leave."

"Yes," The Peacock Demon King turned to leave and saw Yue Qingqiu walking toward them. He nodded at her, "Holy Daughter."

Yue Qingqiu did not respond; she was still a bit angry about the previous actions of the Peacock Demon King’s offspring.

"You’ve come," The Demon Saint became slightly more serious when seeing Yue Qingqiu and smiled at her.

"Lord Demon Saint," Yue Qingqiu bowed; just as she was about to speak, the Demon Saint said, "I already know what you want to say. Let’s ignore the matters of the young ones."

"But..." Yue Qingqiu raised her head.

"Do you like the name he gave you?" the Demon Saint asked.

Yue Qingqiu knew that Lord Demon Saint already knew, and she nodded gently.

"Since you like it, use it. Moon Fox Immortal quite suits you," the Demon Saint laughed, "You are the Holy Daughter of Yun Meng Swamp’s Demon Race, the future Demon Saint, so I didn’t name you. But now that you have one, I’ll call you Qingqiu from now on."

Yue Qingqiu was delighted in her heart, knowing the Demon Saint granted her permission to use this human name.

"Go, I need to rest," the Demon Saint said. Yue Qingqiu knew the Demon Saint did not intend to interfere and thus had to leave.

After Yue Qingqiu left, the Demon Saint watched her disappearing figure with a smile.

Qingqiu.

Not bad.

......

Yun Meng Swamp.

After Li Fan was taken away by Bailong, the news quickly spread.

The emergence of a Great Demon from Yun Meng Swamp, carrying a human genius cultivator, was seen as a provocation to humanity that incited the anger of countless people.

Bai Lu Academy also called upon practitioners from all over to attack Yun Meng Swamp.

For a time, cultivators from various quarters gathered in Yun Meng City, ready to take this opportunity to enter Yun Meng Swamp and slay demons.

Of course, not everyone came because of Li Fan, as many cultivators didn’t know him.

But such an event easily unites human cultivators, presenting an opportunity, as Yun Meng Swamp contains abundant demon resources and many treasures.

Rescuing Li Fan wasn’t crucial, but entering and slaying once was a must.

In this background, cultivators from all directions, including many foreign Great Practitioners, entered Yun Meng Swamp together.

In Yun Meng Swamp, battles occurred every moment.

At this time, at the forefront of the human advance into Yun Meng Swamp, deep within.

Two figures walked side by side, a man and a woman; the man was scholarly and mana flowed around him—it was Qu Qingfeng and Aunt Mei. They had already ventured into the blood-red mist area.

There were even bloodstains on Qu Qingfeng’s clothing.

Everywhere in this area was fraught with deadly danger.

"Shall we turn back?" Aunt Mei said softly, "We have to pass through this area to truly reach Yun Meng Swamp, and it’s perilous here."

"Since we’re here, we should settle. There’s no reason to turn back," Qu Qingfeng said.

"Even if we reach Yun Meng Swamp, we might not get the person back from the Demon Race," Aunt Mei sighed.

"Without trying, how can we know," Qu Qingfeng replied, "Once I enter Yun Meng Swamp, you may return."

Aunt Mei shook her head; if Qu Qingfeng did not leave, how could she return alone?

They continued forward when Qu Qingfeng seemed to notice something, looked ahead, and said, "Is there someone?"

"Someone?" Aunt Mei released her senses and also detected the presence of other humans.

They moved forward, seeing many demon trees fallen in the blood-red region ahead, along with some demon corpses in the distance.

An old figure walked amidst the blood-red mist.

"Sword Cultivator," Qu Qingfeng sensed the Sword Intent on the other, thought darkly.

Furthermore, he was blind.

He watched the man move forward, though blind, his senses seemed sharper, maneuvering seamlessly through the depths of Yun Meng Swamp.

This surprised Qu Qingfeng; a cultivator who managed to reach here should be a Seven Realms Practitioner.

The other was a Sword Cultivator, a Seven Realms Sword Cultivator.

Qu Qingfeng felt a ripple in his heart.

This blind Sword Cultivator came from Li Mountain.

Aside from Li Mountain, where else would a top-notch Great Sword Cultivator venture into Yun Meng Swamp for Li Fan?

"It’s him," Qu Qingfeng thought of someone.

Decades ago, that famous genius Sword Cultivator!
