Chapter 1758: Cozying up to Powerful Forces

Li An shook his head at Qingfeng Li's question. He may be a demon, but he also had ethics and responsibilities that came with being the head of the Dark Arrow Assassin Organization for so long - he was not about to sell out his client.

Qingfeng Li smiled faintly. He knew that even assassins had their code of ethics.

"Eye of the Wolf God!"

Qingfeng Li used this technique without hesitation. Two rays of red light shot out from his eyes right into Li An. Li An's facial expression immediately turned lifeless.

"Tell me, who ordered you to assassinate me?" Qingfeng Li asked again sternly.

An Li replied sluggishly, "The Sect Masters of the Sword Supreme, Saber Supreme, and Black Elixir Sects gave me a bunch of vitality stones and spiritual treasures in return for killing you."

Damn, so it was these three sects. When I initially rose up to the Crimson Fire Continent, their disciples deliberately made my life hell and I almost died in the Wild Animal Kingdom. They are not getting away so easily this time. Qingfeng Li thought with a cold murderous expression on his face.

Exerting pressure on his foot, Qingfeng Li broke Li An's heart into pieces. Then, he spat out a supersonic attack, which killed and swallowed Li An's nascent soul.

Mengyao Xu opened her red lips to ask, "Qingfeng Li, what should we do now?"

Qingfeng Li replied with an icy expression, "We're going to eliminate and destroy the three supreme level sects, of course."

Before leaving, Qingfeng Li searched around the organization to find large amounts of elixirs, vitality stones and various treasures. These were all treasures that Li An obtained after assassinating other self-cultivators, which were now benefitting Qingfeng Li.

After putting most of the treasures into his interspatial ring, Qingfeng Li divided the rest amongst Mengyao Xu, Li Yang, Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake and the Desert Giant so they could level up their powers.

Qingfeng Li took most of the treasures because he had in possession the Demonic Peacock Empress, Dark Night Emperor, the Fire Dragon's soul, and the Black-White Millstone. These were all powerhouses of the ancient universe and recovering their spirit energy required a great amount of elixir and vitality stones.

With a wave of his hand, Qingfeng Li led the others onto the Spirit Ship, and they flew towards the location of the Sword Supreme, Saber Supreme, and Black Elixir Sects.

The Spirit Ship was very fast, and the group arrived after only a couple of hours. The sect master of the Sword Supreme Sect, an extremely strong cultivator, was in the eighth level of the supreme realm.

Yet, he was nothing in front of Qingfeng Li. Qingfeng Li first split his body in half with a wave of the Fire Supreme Sword, and then killed all the other disciples. Qingfeng Li never showed any mercy to his enemies.

Then, he went to the Saber Supreme Sect and Black Elixir Sect and did the same thing to them.

Qingfeng Li was so powerful now that a normal level 8 Supreme-Realm self-cultivator was no longer a match against him.

After killing off the sect masters of the three supreme level sects, Qingfeng Li and the others got back onto the Spirit Ship and headed towards the imperial city of Lingyun.

Inside the palace of Lingyun, the Lingyun Emperor was surrounded by a group of people, all well-known within the Crimson Fire Continent. Huddled around the emperor, they seemed to be engaged in deep discussion.

The Lingyun Emperor's face was pale, and he was so nervous that his entire body shivered. The people who sat by him included Ya Yun and the vice masters of the Planetary Pavilion, Spiritual Treasure Pavilion, and the Martial Alliance.

These people were the ultimate powerhouses of the Crimson Fire Continent, and each one could easily eliminate Lingyun.

However, they may be incredibly powerful and of the Spirit Monarch Realm, but at that moment, they were all making toasts to the Lingyun Emperor.

Ya Yun had been to Lingyun's auctions, so naturally she recognized the Lingyun Emperor. "I'd like to see Qingfeng Li, can you please ask him to come out?"

The Lingyun Emperor said wryly, "Sorry, Qingfeng Li had to run some errands and hasn't returned yet."

The vice master of the Planetary Pavilion was an elder with gray robes. He was poised with momentum and reeked of earth-shattering energy. This man was an ultimate powerhouse.

Lu Gu sat beside the vice master of the Planetary Pavilion. He used to be close to Qingfeng Li and it was thanks to Qingfeng Li's help that he was able to successfully level up to supreme level alchemist.

It was Lu Gu who told the headquaters of the Planetary Pavilion about Qingfeng Li, and that's why their headquarters asked their vice master to come in person - to scout Qingfeng Li.

The vice master of the Planetary Pavilion looked at Lu Gu as if urging him to speak, and so he did, "If you could please let us know when Qingfeng Li will be back, as you can see we are all waiting for him, that would be great."

The Lingyun Emperor forced another smile onto his face and shook his head, "I'd like to know the answer to that question too. Just now I was informed that he was already hovering above the imperial capital, but for some reason he suddenly headed towards the three supreme level sects."

The vice master of the Martial Alliance, Hai Wu, furrowed his brows at this information, "Do you think Qingfeng Li went to eliminate those three other supreme level sects?"

The other powerful forces within the palace were also shocked to hear this. They also believed that Qingfeng Li may have gone to conduct a massacre.

Qingfeng Li was like a demon; whoever pissed him off would be killed without mercy, no exceptions.

Just then, a guard in black ran into the palace, " Emperor, Qingfeng Li is back, he's just outside."

Lingyun Emperor immediately rose from his seat, "Quickly, send him in, tell him we're all waiting for him."

In a heartbeat, Qingfeng Li and the others entered the palace. His expression froze as soon as he came in.

Qingfeng Li couldn't help but notice all the people standing around the Emperor. There were women, elders... each person exuded powerful energy.

He also recognized a couple from the crowd: Ya Yun, Hai Wu, and Lu Gu.

The Lingyun Emperor ran up to Qingfeng Li and grabbed his arm, "Thank god you're back, they're all waiting for you and have been questioning me to death."

Qingfeng Li smiled faintly and patted the Emperor's arm in assurance, "Don't worry, I'll deal with them."

He walked up to the crowd with a smile on his face, "Ya Yun, long time no see. You've become prettier."

Upon hearing Qingfeng Li's subtle flirt, Ya Yun's beautiful face blushed in shyness, and her heart began beating hard.
