He looked down at the crowd below him, as if looking down upon all living beings, and then raised his hand to deliver a punch.
boom!
The magical energy surged outwards in all directions, shattering the mountains beneath their feet and turning them into a pile of rubble.
The thirty-six elite disciples of Mount Shu exploded, turning into clouds of blood mist that formed a bloody storm that fell heavily.
"Dugu Yuyun, what other tricks do you have up your sleeve? Show them to me!"
Li Yao retracted his 'Law of Heaven and Earth' avatar and returned to his original form. While collecting the attributes dropped by the Shu Mountain disciples, he spoke calmly.
"You...you..."
Dugu Yuyun trembled all over, his eyes were bloodshot, and his finger trembled as he pointed at Li Yao, unable to speak.
These thirty-six disciples were the elite of the elite, carefully selected and trained by him over many years.
Unexpectedly, they were all killed by Li Yao with a single punch!
"If you hadn't imprisoned my disciple, I wouldn't have bothered dealing with a bunch of hypocrites like you!"
"If you hadn't tried to kill me, I wouldn't have bothered to lay a hand on you!"
"You brought all of this on yourselves!"
Li Yao said indifferently.
"You killed my Shushan disciples and still have the nerve to argue your case. You are clearly a heinous and wicked demon!"
A loud voice came from afar.
Chang Hao, Dugu Yuyun, and the other people from Shu Mountain all showed joy on their faces.
Chapter 587: Every word is piercing, every sentence is scathing.
"Senior brother!"
"Elder Xu!"
Hearing the sound coming from afar, Chang Hao and Dugu Yuyun were overjoyed.
A streak of light streaked across the sky and hurtled towards them.
The next moment, an elderly man with a youthful face and white hair appeared before everyone.
He was dressed in white, with an elegant demeanor, and although he had a head of white hair, he looked like a young man.
However, there was a hint of depression in his eyes.
He looked Li Yao up and down, then asked expressionlessly, "Who are you?"
"Li Yao!"
Li Yao also looked the newcomer up and down, and then guessed, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be Xu Changqing, the 23rd generation leader of the Shu Mountain Sect."
"You actually knew me!"
Xu Changqing was somewhat surprised.
Since his abdication, he has lived a secluded life and has almost never appeared in public.
He didn't expect Li Yao to guess his identity so easily.
This shows that Li Yao is no ordinary person!
"Xu Changqing was not moved at all when he heard my name. On the contrary, he was surprised that I knew his identity!"
"That's very strange!"
"I clearly went to the era of Sword and Fairy 3 through the Fog Soul Divine Spring."
"Although I had never met Xu Changqing at the time, nor was I deeply involved in the plot."
"However, I have dealt with Jing Tian, Zi Xuan, Tang Xuejian and others."
"Didn't they mention me to Xu Changqing?"
"Or rather, my trip to the era of Chinese Paladin 3 was just an illusion, not reality!"
"But I clearly brought back treasures like the Holy Spirit Orb from the Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 era."
"Also, back in the Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 era, I clearly left a mark on Jing Tian's body."
"Why can't we sense any information from Jing Tian now?"
"Where exactly did things go wrong?"
Li Yao looked at Xu Changqing in front of him, his mind filled with doubts.
He wasn't particularly surprised by Xu Changqing's appearance.
Even Jing Tian, who had no interest in cultivating immortality, is still alive and well.
Moreover, Xu Changqing has already become an immortal, so it's not surprising that he's been alive since the era of Sword and Fairy 3.
Xu Changqing was taken in as a disciple by Qingwei, the head of the Shushan Sect, from a young age, and was trained by Qingwei to be a typical Shushan disciple.
From a young age, Xu Changqing was instilled by Qingwei with the idea that "demons harm living beings and slaughter humans, and we should not have any pity for them."
Therefore, Xu Changqing always took it upon himself to "slay demons and uphold justice".
Xu Changqing is steady and resolute, loyal and righteous, with a strong will, but not good with words.
He has a strong sense of the big picture and possesses a chivalrous spirit that combines both strength and gentleness. He is willing to sacrifice love for the greater good.
He had strong leadership skills. After becoming the sect leader, he oversaw the construction of many new buildings for the Shushan Sect, bringing the sect to its peak and unprecedented scale.
At the same time, he was very devoted to his love.
Because he had physical intimacy with Zixuan, out of affection and responsibility, he defied his master's orders and insisted on marrying Zixuan, thus being expelled from the sect.
Unfortunately, his personality and Zi Xuan's identity destined their three-life romance to be a tragedy.
He witnessed Zixuan sacrifice her life to repair the Demon Locking Tower, but he was powerless to change anything.
Or rather, even if he had the ability to change it, he couldn't change it!
Because he will never forget that he is from Mount Shu.
He must prioritize the overall situation of Shushan!
He wants to protect Mount Shu!
Today, he witnessed Li Yao's great victory over the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Sword Formation, and the Shu Mountain Sect is facing a tremendous crisis.
To prevent Mount Shu from suffering annihilation, he must reveal himself!
Why did you kill my Shu Mountain disciples?
Xu Changqing asked with a cold expression.
"I suggest you ask Dugu Yuyun first why he imprisoned my disciple in the Demon Locking Tower?"
Li Yao said calmly.
"Your disciple is a snake demon. What's wrong with me subduing demons?"
Dugu Yuyun immediately defended himself.
"My disciple is a descendant of Nuwa and a princess of the Southern Zhao Kingdom. How dare you slander her as a snake demon? What are your intentions?"
Li Yao countered with a question.
"Hmph, that's just your side of the story!"
Dugu Yuyun snorted coldly, still stubbornly arguing.
"Xu Changqing, do you know who Zhao Ling'er, who is imprisoned in the Demon Locking Tower by Dugu Yuyun, really is?"
Li Yao ignored Dugu Yuyun and instead looked at Xu Changqing, asking a question.
Xu Changqing remained silent.
"Her mother is Lin Qing'er, her maternal grandmother is Zi Xuan, and her maternal grandfather is Lin Yeping."
"I'm sure you're familiar with these three names, right?"
Li Yao said calmly.
Xu Changqing remained silent and expressionless, but a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
"Zixuan is a descendant of Nuwa, you know that better than anyone. Do you want to deny it?"
Li Yao continued.
"Nuwa is an ancient goddess; how could she possibly have any bloodline descendants?"
Xu Changqing closed his eyes.
"So, the ever-devoted Xu Changqing is nothing special after all!"
"When you said those words, did you ever think about whether you were being fair to Zixuan?"
Li Yao made a sarcastic remark.
At the same time, a question arose in his mind.
Why did Xu Changqing deny that Zi Xuan was a descendant of Nuwa?
Is it merely to save face for Mount Shu?
There are probably even more unspeakable secrets hidden here!
"For the sake of a snake demon, you have gone on a killing spree, slaughtering the people of my Shu Mountain. Your crimes are heinous!"
Xu Changqing suddenly opened his eyes, shooting out two cold beams of light.
"Xu Changqing, you've changed!"
"I used to respect you as a true gentleman with a heart and a sense of justice."
"But now, I see a heartless and treacherous hypocrite!"
"For your sake, Zixuan didn't hesitate to seal away her child from your past life!"
