Chapter 409: Chapter 97 Affairs of the Yin Yang Realm

"Damn it!"

Li Qingming growled angrily, his hands guiding the golden mysterious runes, beginning to operate in the void.

Luo Hou’s Primordial Spirit exploded, and all the secret techniques, spiritual treasures, refining materials... hidden within the Primordial Spirit burst apart. Only the most robust Third Grade Hell Destruction Black Lotus remained; nothing else was left.

Yet the runes commanded by Li Qingming, continuously emitting golden light, were oddly effective. They not only blocked the self-immolation of Luo Hou’s Primordial Spirit and the energy surge caused by the explosion but also intercepted some of his Primordial Spirit fragments. Although they were only one-fifth the size of the original Primordial Spirit, it was enough to excite Li Qingming.

Luo Hou was utterly obliterated, leaving behind a dozen or so Primordial Spirit fragments in the midst of the golden light runes. But after a careful search, they turned out to be of little use—nothing more than some minor divine powers, and Demon Race cultivation techniques unworthy of mentioning.

"Damn it!" Li Qingming frowned, his hands fluttering like butterflies. A terrifying pressure descended from the sky, rings of pale golden Power of Laws slowly pressed towards those few Primordial Spirit fragments.

"Rules, Time Retrospection!" Li Qingming roared in a low voice, an inch-long sharp glint bursting from his eyes.

"Whoosh!"

The entire space trembled, as if the void solidified like a projector, swirling around the Primordial Spirit fragments that traveled between Heaven and Earth, gathering thread by thread.

Li Qingming’s eyes shone like lightning, taking decisive action in the moment Luo Hou’s Primordial Spirit was about to shatter. His Divine Thought, ferociously invasive, drilled into Luo Hou’s Primordial Spirit.

A Qing Yuqing True Essence, materialized out of nowhere into an ancient green lamp. The green lamp burned without fire, casting a faint glow, illuminating the void around it, giving birth to the Sea of Consciousness of Luo Hou’s Primordial Spirit.

"Boom!"

An unnamed space beyond the domain, where Chaos Qi surged wildly. The Rule Power of Heaven and Earth made the void shake uncontrollably.

Deep within the Chaos Qi, a huge illusory and enchanting palace wavered up and down, mystical and mysterious.

"Outer Domain!" Li Qingming stared at the palace filling the skies, speaking softly. Using Yuqing Immortal Skill mixed with the Power of Time Rules, he extracted the deepest memories of Luo Hou. The ancient green lamp’s glow flickered and was almost scattered.

"Bang!"

Hong Jun waved his sleeve, and the rich grey Spiritual Energy disappeared in a flash, completely dispersing the illusion. He then spoke emotionlessly, "The lands beyond the domain are too vast; with our current strength, we simply cannot grasp it. Let’s not harbor such futile dreams!"

"Forget it, forget it! What we seek is not to be forced. Perhaps when we reach the Cultivation Realm of the Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal, we might be able to come and go from the Outer Domain at will, who knows?" Yang Mei, showing his laid-back nature, yawned and continued, "Alright, I’m going back to Penglai Island now; you all do as you please!"

Hong Jun shook his head; this Yang Mei was good in many ways, but too laid-back.

"Fellow Daoists, until our paths cross again!" Xuanhu also gave a bow to everyone and turned to leave. He didn’t want to see Li Qingming again. Damn it, too horrifying! Li Qingming had connections with both Hong Jun and Yang Mei, plus his Cultivation was terrifying. He himself had no presence before them, so why bother staying!

After Xuanhu left, Li Qingming looked at Hong Jun and Yang Mei and asked after a moment of silence, "How should we deal with this place?"

"Haha, everyone goes back to their own homes, to find their own mothers!" Yang Mei, sleepy-eyed, spoke flippantly.

Li Qingming turned his head to look at Hong Jun, clearly seeking an idea.

Hong Jun glanced around the chaotic battlefield and said, "This Yin Yang Realm is severely damaged; you should go to the East Sea and extract some Spirit Veins to be implanted here. For those underlings of Qinglingzi, let those who wish to scatter do so. For those who do not, ensure they stay within the Yin Yang Realm until Qinglingzi reincarnates!"

"Respectful acknowledgment of the Ancestor’s decree!" Li Qingming, showing rare solemnity, nodded. He promptly gathered the Sealing Heaven and Earth Array and strode away.

At this moment, Hao Tian and Fu Xi, leading a large group of subordinates, were watching from not far away. They didn’t know exactly what had happened here but guessed that something terrible must have befallen Luo Hou.

As for the tens of thousands of Demon Slaves originally from the Yin Yang Realm, Xiao Tian and Xiao Di took the lead, quietly guarding below the small hill.

Seeing Li Qingming, dressed in a green robe, descend the small hill, the two Yin Yang Saint Dragons along with Xiao Tian and Xiao Di exchanged glances and went forward to meet him, falling on their heads to worship: "Yin Dragon, Yang Dragon, Xiao Tian, Xiao Di greet the Saintly Great Master, may the Great Master be in divine peace!"

Before Li Qingquan’s demise, the Demon Slaves also witnessed their master bowing to Li Qingming and heard Li Qingquan calling him big brother. Moreover, in awe of Li Qingming’s unrivaled Cultivation, they naturally followed Xiao Tian and others, kneeling to the ground and shouting, "We witness the Saintly Great Master, may the Great Master be in divine peace!"

Li Qingming looked at the sea of kneeling figures with some emotion and gently waved his sleeve, saying, "You need not be overly courteous!"

"Thank you, Great Master!"

Xiao Tian and others felt a gentle force beneath their knees, lifting them back to their feet involuntarily.

Li Qingming looked at Xiao Tian and Xiao Di, whose auras were fiercely fluctuating, and asked, "What do you intend to do?"

"Great Lord, my name is Xiao Tian, and this is my brother Xiao Di. We were saved by our Master and have sworn to follow him unto death! Now that the Master has passed away, we brothers have no face to live on in this world! However, the Yin Yang Realm is the foundation the Master built over hundreds of years; we hope the Great Lord can properly handle it!" Xiao Tian said this, exchanging a look with Xiao Di, a resolute color flashing in their eyes. They unexpectedly turned on each other, hands striking at the other’s Heavenly Spirit.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a powerful force transmitted, directly sending them flying. An angry voice followed: "Foolish things! Xiao Er may have died, but that doesn’t mean there’s no chance for reincarnation. You act so rashly; how shall I face his reincarnation with honor in the future?"

The soaring Xiao Tian and Xiao Di did not hear the rest of Li Qingming’s words. They only heard about reincarnation.

Their eyes suddenly shone with a foot-long brilliance, and they leaped back, their voices trembling as they asked: "Great Lord, are you serious? Will the Master truly be reincarnated?"

And a red silk, hugging the body of Li Qingquan, trembled greatly; her watery big eyes, filled with endless hope.

Li Qingming was shaken by their hopeful and loyal eyes, and he couldn’t help but nod slightly. At the same time, he thought to himself: "Xiao Er, oh Xiao Er, how many lifetimes of fortune have you cultivated? With such subordinates, with such a lover, what more could one desire!"

Xiao Tian and Xiao Di were ecstatic, unable to contain their howls to the sky: "Aoooo..."

Red Silk tightened the body of Li Qingquan she held; her bright eyes, once sorrowful, now shed tears of surprise.

Thinking of the entrustment of Hong Jun, Li Qingming soared into the sky and said loudly: "Li Qianqiu, your previous master, enslaved you by force with secret techniques. I now release you from servitude. Whether you stay or leave, it’s up to you!"

After speaking, Li Qingming waved his hand lightly, and a deep purple Vitality Power suddenly soared into the air, turning into clouds of Purple Mysterious in the Void. With a Seal Technique in his hand, he pointed into the Void and uttered lowly: "Release!"

"Buzz!"

Supreme pressure shook the heavens, and the purple clouds radiated an unparalleled aura. The clouds rolled violently, and in a moment, heavy rain poured down, completely submerging the Demon Slaves below.

"This, this is..."

"My Primordial Spirit is full again, my Primordial Spirit is full again!"

"Ha ha ha, I’m free!"

The Demon Slaves howled with unrestrained joy, a feeling of freedom they had not known for many years. Though their Cultivation Realm had broken through with the help of Li Qingquan’s Vitality Power over the years, they had always yearned for freedom.

Now, their long-held dreams had been realized at once. How could they not be excited and joyous?

Xiao Tian and Xiao Di watched the Demon Slaves coldly, their hearts neither happy nor sad. Although the Master had captured and enslaved their freedom, he had also helped them improve their Cultivation Realm with Vitality Power. Those willing to leave were square, while those who chose to stay would naturally become their brethren in life and death!

"Those willing to stay, report to Xiao Tian; those who wish to leave may disperse. After this, there will be no ties to the Yin Yang Realm!" Li Qingming stated indifferently and descended.

"Brother, are we leaving?"

"Leave! Why not? I’ve been stuck in this godforsaken place for hundreds of years; I’m sick of it! What about you?"

"Get lost! The Master drained a vast amount of Vitality Power to aid me in breaking through realms; I swear to follow the Master to the death!"

The mountain foothills suddenly became like a noisy marketplace, with tens of thousands discussing under the hills, their clamor endless.

"Scram! Those unwilling to stay, get out of the Yin Yang Realm! This is a Holy Land; it’s not a place for you to make such a racket!" During the heated discussion, Yang Dragon roared furiously, and endless Dragon Power pressed down, covering the entire hill.

...

For a time, there was endless noise. Some walked to the hill where Xiao Tian was stationed on the left, while others left the Yin Yang Realm without looking back.

After a quarter of an hour, out of the initial tens of thousands of Demon Slaves, only fifty thousand remained.

"Good, from now on, you are my brothers in life and death!" Xiao Tian’s eyes twinkled, his voice full of excitement.

"We swore to follow the Master to death! Swore to follow the Master to death!"

The full force of fifty thousand once of the Yin Yang Realm let out a roar, their aura unleashed without restraint. That all-devouring attitude shot up to the heavens!

"From now on, you shall station in the Yin Yang Realm, not leaving half a step! Withdraw swiftly from all military forces in West Niu Hezhou and return it to the Human Clan!" Li Qingming saw that things were almost settled and stated directly.

"We faithfully follow the Great Lord’s command!" Xiao Tian and the others obeyed with respect and then hesitated before asking, "May we know the Great Lord’s name?"

Li Qingming looked at Xiao Tian and said indifferently: "My name is Li Qingming, dwelling in the East Sea Penglai Immortal Island." (To be continued.
