Chapter 285 – Battle between Humans and Ghosts
Li Changqing had long received intelligence from the Changqing Trading Company that the Huang family of the Southern Wilderness had all died overnight. Their deaths were identical to what Li Changqing had witnessed in the Medical King Valley: no injuries, yet they mysteriously perished, their souls devoured.
Previously, during the sparring match between Li Xuanxi and Jiang Tianyun, the Longevity Sect had taken the opportunity to engage in such deeds.
Even Zhao Beiming perished in this incident.
If it hadn't been for Zhang Fuguang's presence, Yin Changli would have certainly met the same fate.
Li Changqing never expected the Longevity Sect to stay quiet, but he was surprised they had lain low for fifteen years.
What the Longevity Sect had been up to during these fifteen years was unknown to Li Changqing, but it was clear they were up to no good.
Now that they had re-emerged, a great upheaval was likely to ensue.
For the past fifteen years, the Long Night Ancient Nation had also been eerily quiet, with no one venturing there.
This made Li Changqing feel uneasy, suspecting the Longevity Sect was plotting something major.
"The Longevity Sect is meticulous in their actions, making it hard to catch them slipping. But once they make their first move, they're bound to have subsequent plans. We'll just have to wait and see," Li Changqing told Li Hengsheng.
"Father, with the Longevity Sect surfacing, they're probably up to something significant. We should keep a closer eye on them through the Changqing Trading Company."
"Don't worry, I have it under control," Li Changqing replied calmly.
After lunch, Li Hengsheng and Lu Shiran spent some time talking with Li Shu before heading back to Dao Mountain Ancient Land together.
Although Li Shu sometimes missed his parents, he didn't cling to them excessively.
Compared to them, Li Shu had a closer relationship with Li Changqing.
He was also very close to Zhang Siyao, having grown up together.
A few days later, Xue Qianbai visited Li Changqing again.
Xue Qianbai still looked the same, as if he never aged. Over the past fifteen years, his strength had improved significantly, making him one of the strongest below the terrestrial immortals.
Without the terrestrial immortals, Xue Qianbai was invincible.
Moreover, in these fifteen years, Xue Qianbai had finally married Princess Qingyang, although the couple spent little time together. Xue Qianbai remained in Dao Mountain Ancient Land, while Qingyang inherited the throne of the Qingyang Dynasty, becoming a female emperor.
"Visiting me in your free time? You could have spent it with Qingyang," Li Changqing teased upon seeing Xue Qianbai.
