He did not have the leisure to see what the trump card of these barbarians was, nor did he have the leisure to pose around and look down on others just because he was strong enough. Even a lion would use its full strength to catch a rabbit. He had come here with a single objective—complete extermination!
And, the simpler and easier it was, the better!
A gust of wind swept over from behind, and the Bone Eating chieftain suddenly looked back. Before he could even respond, Li Qingshan planted a foot on his back.
With a series of cracks, his spine fractured, and he collapsed on the ground, unable to move. He howled out in despair!
The chieftain and the priest had both been defeated, so the morale of the Bone Eating shamans plummeted. Li Qingshan did not linger around, using the kick to fly back. Through his wings, he moved even faster, gliding about with a streak of firelight. Wherever he passed by, the shamans all collapsed on the ground.
“A’yue, let me assist you!”
Xianghua Man cried out and leapt off the tree, channeling the Fragrant Flower gu with everything that she had. Fragrant winds drifted around, which was extremely effective against the regular Bone Eating shamans. Li Qingshan specially targeted the stronger shamans, defeating them all in a single stroke.
A while later, not a single Bone Eating shaman remained standing anymore. None of them had managed to escape.
Xianghua Man’s face was completely red with excitement. She also felt a sense of disbelief. The powerful Bone Eating tribe had met its end like this. It had been unimaginably easy. She raised her hand, prepared to carry out a massacre.
“Hold on!” Li Qingshan barked.
“Why?”
“I said I have a gift for you!”
Under Xianghua Man’s surprised gaze, Li Qingshan unfurled his wings and made his way past the shamans. Balls of blood-red flames flew out of their bodies, and they withered away like they had been sucked dry.
The Bone Eating chieftain was utterly devastated. “Stop! If you want to kill, then just kill me! Spare my tribesmen!”
Li Qingshan laughed. “I couldn’t tell, but you have quite the sense of loyalty. Don’t worry, none of you can escape.”
The Bone Eating shaman priest said, “Spare my life. I’m willing to serve you and tell you where the wealth of the Bone Eating tribe is all hidden. I can even help you obtain the power of our predecessors.”
The Bone Eating chieftain roared, “You traitor!” The Bone Eating shamans roared as well, “Traitor!”
“You sure are clever!” Li Qingshan made his way over to the Bone Eating shaman priest and picked up his staff, twirling it about. “But I already have a servant, so you can forget about it.”
An extremely dim ball of fire flew out. A while later, all of the Bone Eating shamans had been drained of their life force, reduced to withered corpses.
Li Qingshan held a ball of fire of life around the same size as his head and smiled at Xianghua Man. “Come, Man’er, why don’t you take the meal I’ve prepared for you?” Although they had gotten along quite well over the past few days, this was taking precautions. He did not want someone to secretly report everything about his existence and everything he was capable of to the White Lotus cult.
“No!” Xianghua Man remembered the monster that the merchant had turned into and retreated in fright.
Li Qingshan smiled. “You have to be a good daughter!”
“Please, A’yue, just spare me. I definitely won’t betray you!” Xianghua Man knelt down and pleaded.

“It’s not like I’m trying to harm you, so what’re you being so afraid for? You have no idea how many people wish they had an opportunity like this! Your body can become even tougher than those barbarians!”
Li Qingshan crouched down and touched Xianghua Man’s cheek gently. Although he spoke like he was trying to persuade her, it only made Xianghua Man shiver inside. It only made her understand a certain reality even more. No matter how much he resembled a cute child, no matter how helpless he seemed when he was being teased, he was still a powerful monster that she stood absolutely no chance again. Once a fundamental problem arose, he would never allow her to decline or put up any resistance.
“I don’t want to become a monster. I’d rather die than that!” Xianghua Man called out.
The thought that she would end up as twisted and ugly as the merchant from Goldie fort made her shiver, and that was still a little better off. If she were to become like a Bone Eating shaman, she would not be able to accept it at all!
“How will you? You’ll only become even younger and more beautiful. Goldie A’bao betrayed me, which was why I unleashed all the potential in his body and made him throw his life away against those barbarians. Otherwise, he’d probably be much stronger than you already. And, the life force in his body was overly impure, so it was easier to lose control. Meanwhile, these flames all come from the same tribe. I’ve already refined it too. Don’t worry. As long as you are good, why would I harm you?”
Li Qingshan explained it patiently, but the softer and more sincere his tone became, the more afraid Xianghua Man felt. Even if she did not become a monster, it would still mean she was under his control, unable to break free ever again. She stared straight at Li Qingshan and tears poured out from her eyes. For a moment, she was unable to say anything.
Li Qingshan waited for her to calm down a little. “Tell me your answer now.”
“I’ll accept it!”
“Alright. Open your mind!”
Li Qingshan blew gently, and the blood-red fire swept over to Xianghua Man, merging into her body bit by bit.
“Ahh!”
Xianghua Man moaned as great pleasure erupted in her body, making her head blank out. Only after who knew how long did her consciousness gradually return. Her body felt numb and indescribably restrictive. As if she had gained new life, unprecedented power flowed through her body.
She was different from Goldie A’bao, who was merely a mortal that had been forcefully propelled to the realm of shamans. She possessed several decades of cultivation experience. She began meditating in a hurry and directed this power to the right path. The Fragrant Flower gu in her body was nourished, breaking through once more.
Li Qingshan smiled. “How do you feel?”
What Xianghua Man did first was not to check how much stronger she had become, but to take out her bronze mirror and check whether she had become ugly or not. She could not help but cheer out, “Fantastic!”
Although in the past, she did not seem old due to practising qi, she was still the mother of three children after all. Faint Crow’s feet wrinkles were appearing on the corner of her eyes, and her skin was no longer as supple as it used to be either. But right now, she seemed like she had returned to her twenties. She was glowing.
To a woman, particularly a beautiful one, nothing was more terrifying than watching herself gradually age in the mirror, nor was there anything more delightful than recovering her youth. Immediately, she felt that her alarm earlier had been pointless. Although they all said that gains and losses came hand in hand, her luck still seemed pretty good so far!
“Dispose of these corpses!” Li Qingshan ordered.
Li Qingshan fiddled around with the skull staff as he picked up a tiny hundred treasures pouch from beside the shaman priest. He opened it up and took a look. The space inside was only the size of a shed, and there was a messy assortment of items. He had no idea what they were for, so he casually hung it on his waist.
