He had always wanted to see it, and now his wish had come true.
"Why do you say that?"
Li Qingan sat in front of the fire and threw a branch into it, with Xiaobai and Lu Xueqi sitting beside him.
If someone were to see this, they would probably have a lot to say about it.
The leader of the righteous path can actually live in the same place as demons!
"You are very strong, but you gave me the opportunity to come out!"
He recalled what his men had just said about the situation when they faced Li Qing'an.
Even the Beast God had to admit that the man before him was terrifying.
Even when he was face to face with Li Qingan, he could feel the faint sense of threat emanating from the man in front of him!
He estimated that, given his current condition and incomplete recovery, it would be difficult to predict who would win if he were to fight Li Qing'an.
The Beast God suddenly smiled, "That's just right."
You can ask him to check for Linglong how much progress these people have made over the years!
Does she deserve the world that Linglong sacrificed herself for, which she created for the sake of all living beings?
Of course, no matter what.
He wanted to make everything go down with Linglong before he went to find her.
"You're becoming a bit paranoid!"
Seeing the fleeting destructive urge in the Beast God's eyes, Li Qing'an spoke very sincerely.
"You don't understand, you and I are not the same kind of people!"
The Beast God glanced sideways at the two people beside Li Qing'an.
How could someone who has a lover and is also very capable understand the feelings between him and Linglong?
Li Qingan nodded in agreement.
Since arriving in this world, Li Qing'an has had a smooth life, even with the obstacle of the righteous-demonic divide between him and his confidante.
Li Qingan never took it seriously; with enough strength, one can crush everything.
Therefore, Li Qingan had never truly experienced the Beast God's feelings of unrequited love.
Seeing that Li Qingan did not refute, the Beast God repeated the same sentence:
“You are truly different, whether in your thoughts, actions, or other aspects, you are completely different from those cultivators or those who shout about slaying demons!”
Xiao Bai, standing nearby, couldn't help but reply on Li Qing'an's behalf: "You've only been out for a short time, and you already know about people these days?"
She was also very interested in this person who terrified the southern border region!
The Beast God glanced at Xiaobai, then looked at Li Qingan, clearly not taking Xiaobai seriously.
It's just a nine-tailed celestial fox!
"Although I have only recently broken free from my seal, no matter how much time passes, people's hearts will not change..."
"They only know how to satisfy their own desires, obsessed with the so-called world, good and evil—all just high-sounding words..."
Li Qing listened quietly to what the Beast God had to say.
Xiao Bai and his companion also sensed something was amiss. The person who was making the Southern Frontier tremble seemed to harbor some resentment, even a hint of unrequited love...
"If someone were to fall in love with this person... that would be truly..."
Xiao Bai suddenly trembled at the thought of that scene!
That's really scary!
The Beast God continued, "Do you think that anyone who appears in this world will be a so-called evil person?"
Li Qingan shook his head.
He played the straight man very well, and he was genuinely curious about the emotional entanglement between the two (winking).
Please, aren't you curious about the gossip surrounding people and their hostility?
It's just that Linglong isn't a man, otherwise he'd be comparable to some snake riders or insect riders.
Directly promoted to Air Knight, a new title!
Linglong: "?? I didn't do it, I didn't!"
Moreover, isn't this statement Xunzi's famous theory that human nature is inherently evil?
Are people born kind, evil, or blank slates waiting to be painted?
Li Qingan said he didn't know.
In the world of cultivation, if someone were to be reborn, who would know?
As for the Beast God, Li Qing'an could only click his tongue.
As a creation of Linglong, made from the malevolent energy of heaven and earth in her quest for immortality, it was out of control.
If one builds their foundation on violence, then saying they are born evil is not wrong, okay!
Seeing that Li Qingan responded, the Beast God continued:
"But...but why doesn't she believe me?"
"Why did you have to lie to me? I trusted her so much back then, and she almost ruined me completely!"
His voice was somewhat somber, and a sense of melancholy filled the air.
Upon hearing this, Xiaobai's eyes widened in disbelief.
If she still hadn't realized it by then, she wouldn't deserve the reputation of having lived for thousands of years.
Looking at the resentful tone of unrequited love, and then at the lingering, longing gaze that kept drifting towards the stone statue in front of the cave.
Doesn't all of this suggest that the legendary Beast God of Southern Xinjiang actually has a crush on the witch goddess Linglong of the Witch Clan?
Even Xiaobai doubted that he had guessed wrong.
Xiao Bai sorted out her thoughts in her mind:
It is known that the Beast God can modify ferocious beasts, and he leads these beasts to invade all directions, causing the deaths of many people in the southern borderlands.
Long ago, the witch goddess sealed him away for countless years in order to save the Southern Frontier, until now the seal has been broken.
So, the story between the two begins when the priestess tries to seal the beast god?
Looking again at the Beast God's infatuated expression,
It's clear that the witch goddess was deceiving people's feelings!
And the one they tricked was the infamous Beast God!
Xiaobai gives the final conclusion!
Lost in his own speculation, Xiaobai stood there for a moment before realizing that he might have been a little offensive.
She quickly composed herself and banished the jumbled emotions from her mind.
At this moment, the Beast God's expression turned cold, and he stopped speaking.
Li Qingan listened to the gossip for a while, feeling like he had gotten a great deal, and remained silent.
For a moment, the only sound between the two was the crackling of a burning campfire.
As the flames gradually disappeared, leaving only the embers of the dying fire, which slowly turned into a wisp of smoke and dissipated, Li Qing'an and the Beast God had already parted ways.
Li Qingan's trip was merely to check on the situation, and now that it had been worthwhile, he naturally planned to leave.
.....
Incense Valley!
The sound of seven heavenly drums echoed from Tianxiang Residence, where Yun Yilan lived, resounding throughout the entire Fenxiang Valley.
Almost all the disciples of Fenxiang Valley were in their respective positions, not daring to slack off in the slightest, waiting for the appearance of Valley Master Yun Yilan.
Inside the Mountain and River Hall of Burning Incense Valley, Shangguan Ce and Lü Shun were at the head, with Li Xun and other disciples following behind.
Everyone lined up in front of the hall, waiting patiently.
The leader, Shangguan Ce, was dressed in black and appeared calm, but a strange glint flashed in his eyes where no one could see.
For him, Yun Yilan's emergence from seclusion was not a good thing.
Over the years, he has met Yun Yilan through a screen, and he can only hear his aging voice, which seems to be growing older.
But the sudden news that Yun Yilan was about to emerge from seclusion was a bolt from the blue. After all, he had held great power and accomplished a great deal over the years.
The more Shangguan Ce thought about it, the more troubled and uneasy he became.
In contrast to Shangguan Ce was Li Xun.
As Yun Yilan's disciples, and highly regarded by him, only two people were able to visit Yun Yilan during his seclusion.
Now that Yun Yilan has emerged from seclusion, his status will undoubtedly rise significantly again, and his words will carry much more weight.
Most importantly, with Yun Yilan emerging from seclusion, coupled with the plans he and Shangguan Ce had secretly carried out, his wishes might all come true!
Chapter 238 Incense Valley Leaves Southern Xinjiang! Things are finally back to normal!
"Boom boom boom!"
Suddenly, the melodious sound of drums drifted from inside Tianxiang Residence, invigorating everyone.
Li Xun quickly tidied his appearance and waited with great joy, like a pet waiting to be judged!
A flash of red appeared, and a figure slowly materialized, dressed in fiery red robes—the usual attire of the Valley Master of Burning Incense Valley.
Li Xun and the others didn't feel any intense heat, but they felt a red flash before their eyes, as if the person in front of them was a ball of flame, who walked over leisurely.
When Shangguan Ce looked at the person in the red light, he immediately let out a low gasp of surprise.
He remembered that when Yun Yilan went into seclusion several years ago, he was already an old man, but now he was a middle-aged man in his forties.
She also had a head of bright and flamboyant red hair, which fell over her shoulders, giving her a free and unrestrained look.
