Chapter 100: Chapter 95: The Former Painting Saint

“Junior Brother!”

Yang Tiantian was startled to see Li Hengsheng collapse to the ground.

He was fine just a moment ago, how did he suddenly fall?

A foreboding sensation rose in her heart.

Yang Tiantian quickly went forward to support Li Hengsheng, but the moment she turned him over, her expression changed dramatically, because a very powerful Ghost Qi had started spreading from Li Hengsheng’s chest!

The Ghost Qi was mighty and powerful, and it spread incredibly fast!

It spread to his limbs and was even moving towards Li Hengsheng’s neck.

The Ghost Qi, dark as ink, covered Li Hengsheng’s body like veins, and it seemed it would soon devour him completely.

“Ghost Qi!”

Yang Tiantian could hardly believe her eyes.

Li Hengsheng was poisoned.

He was poisoned by the Ghost Race.

But when did he get poisoned? Yang Tiantian hadn’t noticed at all—they clearly had been together the entire time.

“Ugh!”

Li Hengsheng suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

His entire aura became especially weak.

As the Ghost Qi grew stronger, if it spread throughout his body, it would be fatal for Li Hengsheng.

“Not good, the poison is spreading too quickly.” At this moment, Yang Tiantian really had no idea what to do; she took out the best antidote pill she had and gave it to Li Hengsheng, but it was completely ineffective.

This was a type of poison Yang Tiantian had never encountered before, and the potency was terrifying, beyond what ordinary antidote pills could counteract.

Just when Yang Tiantian thought Li Hengsheng was doomed, a Sun, Moon, and Stars Map appeared on Li Hengsheng’s body.

On his chest, a light and shadow appeared—a small figure sat amidst the sun and moon, with two blood lines on its body.

The Ghost Qi sensed the presence of the sun, moon, and the little figure, and it was temporarily suppressed.

However, it was more of a slowing down rather than expelling the Ghost Qi from the body.

Seeing this, Yang Tiantian didn’t waste any time; she lifted Li Hengsheng with one hand and performed her body technique to the extreme.

She headed towards Cloud Flipping City.

For now, the only option was to quickly take Li Hengsheng back to the Mountain Ancient Land to find their master for help; otherwise, Li Hengsheng’s life would be in jeopardy.

Li Hengsheng was lucky to have the Sun, Moon, Immortal and Demon Divine Body’s suppression, otherwise, an ordinary person would have been poisoned to death by now.

Upon returning to Cloud Flipping City, Yang Tiantian didn’t bother with the thoughts of those watching the loli running through the streets with a man.

She went straight to the Cangyuan Escort Agency, asking them to use the fastest air transport to send them back to the Mountain Ancient Land.

Cangyuan Escort Agency naturally agreed to the request.

The price for transporting people was different from goods, and after Yang Tiantian paid five hundred taels, Cangyuan Escort Agency immediately took them on a giant Fei Luan, flying towards the Mountain Ancient Land.

Fortunately, it was still within the Minghong State range, not too far away.

It would take just over an hour to get there.

Along the way, watching Li Hengsheng lying unconscious on the bird’s back, Yang Tiantian was on the verge of tears.

Normally, she wouldn’t fear killing someone or charging into a group of Spirit Beasts, but now she was truly scared.

Her little junior brother went out with her, and now he was dying.

Yang Tiantian would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

How was she going to explain to Xu Muhai when she returned?

How was she going to explain to Li Changqing?

On Muhai Peak.

Today the weather was calm and pleasant.

“Brother Changqing, have some tea.” Xu Muhai brought a pot of tea and placed it on the table.

“Why is it so noisy at your Mountain Ancient Land?” Li Changqing poured a cup for himself, and one for Xu Muhai as well: “I thought Mountain Ancient Land was supposed to be a peaceful place, but it’s been noisy since last night. Is such a noisy environment really suitable for cultivation?”

Hearing this, Xu Muhai nearly spat out blood.

“Brother Changqing, guess what they’re doing, why is it so noisy?” Xu Muhai said exasperatedly.

Aren’t they looking for you?

Last night you caused such a commotion in Mountain Ancient Land that nobody got any rest. Today, during the day, the Elder Council even dispatched two elders to lead people in searching the sect for the ’mysterious person’ from last night.

Worrying that the mysterious person might have some unknown intentions within the sect.

And the person in question was sitting here drinking tea.

If the sect found out, Xu Muhai surely would not have an easy time.

Yet Li Changqing was still making sarcastic remarks here.

“Oh, I’m sorry, I overlooked that.” Li Changqing said somewhat embarrassedly.

“By the way, is your Pavilion Master alright?” Li Changqing asked, “Last night he seemed quite shaken. How can someone with that kind of psychological resilience be your Pavilion Master?”

“He’s fine, just encountered some things and has a knot in his heart.” Xu Muhai took a sip of tea and said with a smile, “It’s not because he lost to you that he’s shaken. If I’m not mistaken, it’s probably because of the Capture Dragon Style.”

“Capture Dragon Style?” Li Changqing raised an eyebrow, wondering what his Capture Dragon Style had to do with Li Jingsong.

“Speaking of Pavilion Master Li, he wasn’t originally from our Mountain Ancient Land.” Xu Muhai slowly said, “Don’t be fooled by his current appearance—he was once a genuine Painting Saint.”

“Painting Saint?” Li Changqing was a little surprised.

This Li Jingsong was actually a Painting Saint?

I really couldn’t tell, but I guess I’ve never really seen what a true Painting Saint looks like.

“Yes.”

“Many years ago, Li Jingsong was also very famous in the Cangyuan Realm,” Xu Muhai spoke eloquently, “At that time, there were two of the youngest Painting Saints in the whole Cangyuan Realm: one was Li Jingsong, and the other was Monarch Yuehan. Both of them had the potential to become a Painting Immortal.”

“The two of them were always rivals, never yielding to each other, and had faced off several times without either gaining an advantage.”

“Li Jingsong was a disciple of the Chaotic Heaven Painting Saint, and the most prized one at that. Monarch Yuehan was a well-known young master from the Yue family in the Cangyuan Realm, which was truly a formidable family with immense power and fearsome background.”

“Gradually, perhaps it was the solitude of being strong? The two of them went from being adversaries to becoming close friends, mutually acknowledging each other. They often chatted about everything, exchanged painting skills, and even joined forces to explore many powerful secret realms.”

“Having narrowly escaped death several times, they came to regard each other as brothers.”

“Later, one day, they made a significant decision. They decided to go to Void Dragon Island to paint dragons.”

Xu Muhai’s eyes showed a hint of apprehension: “Brother Changqing should know that dragons, as Spirit Beasts, are very mysterious and powerful. In the past in the Cangyuan Realm, a dragon once caused a bloody storm, which resulted in countless strong individuals’ deaths and wiped out many sects and families.”

“If not for the intervention of the Realm Master Cangyuan, who knows how disastrous the situation would have become.”

“Later, the Dragon Race and the Realm Master Cangyuan reached an agreement. The Dragon Race would stay on Void Dragon Island and would not easily emerge, but other races were also not allowed to set foot on Void Dragon Island. So you should see how bold the decision made by Monarch Yuehan and Li Jingsong was.”

“Goodness.” Li Changqing was simply at a loss for words. Is this so-called boldness?

These guys are like reckless children!

Going to such a dangerous place to paint dragons?

Do you want me to paint you a rainbow too?

Besides, if they anger the Dragon Race, what if the Dragon Race causes trouble again?

But from this, Li Changqing also learned a very explosive piece of news.

There’s actually a creature like a dragon in the Cangyuan Realm.

Additionally, another name caught Li Changqing’s attention.

Realm Master Cangyuan.

Who is this person?

This place is called the Cangyuan Realm, and this person is called Realm Master Cangyuan. He should be the top powerhouse of this world, right? Or perhaps the ruler?

Being able to make the Dragon Race compromise, in Li Changqing’s view, this person should be like a fabled terrestrial immortal.

“What happened later? Did the two of them go?” Li Changqing asked curiously.

“Li Jingsong waited for Monarch Yuehan for three whole days, but Monarch Yuehan didn’t show up at their agreed location. Li Jingsong thought Monarch Yuehan was scared and was extremely disappointed in him, so he went to Dragon Island alone.”

“Li Jingsong secretly went to Void Dragon Island to paint dragons, but was discovered by the Dragon Race, and barely escaped with his life, severely injured by the Dragon Race, resulting in a major loss to his Divine Soul!”

“He fell from the realm of Painting Saint to a High-Level Painter and has never been able to recover since. The damage has long been irreversible.”

“He believes that no one can paint dragons, if he couldn’t do it, no one else could possibly do it. So when Li Jingsong saw you perform the Capture Dragon Style…” Xu Muhai didn’t continue.

But Li Changqing had already understood.

Having been frustrated by the Dragon Race, Li Jingsong believed that no one in the world could paint dragons on Void Dragon Island. But seeing Li Changqing perform the Capture Dragon Style, he thought someone had managed to paint dragons after him; otherwise, how could such martial arts be comprehended?

Thus, Li Jingsong was deeply shaken.

He started to doubt his life.

“What about Monarch Yuehan?” Li Changqing noticed the other person in the story.

“As for Monarch Yuehan, the rumors are inconsistent.” Xu Muhai sighed lightly, “Some say he died, while others say that Monarch Yuehan caused a huge ruckus in the Yue family over a woman, completely falling out with them, even opposing the Realm Master Cangyuan, and was eventually suppressed by the Realm Master.”

“I’m not very clear on the specifics, and the Yue family has kept the news locked away, revealing little information.” Xu Muhai shook his head, “Li Jingsong knows the situation of his former friend, but remains unmoved. His spirit died, and it wasn’t until after his master, the Chaotic Heaven Painting Saint, passed away that he left familiar places and came here.”

“He later met with our leader, and who knows what they talked about, but he ended up coming to our Mountain Ancient Land.”

“The affairs of the Cangyuan Realm are truly complicated.” Li Changqing sighed.

Two genius Painting Saints.

One fell in realm and is now just idling here.

The other inexplicably decided to oppose the Realm Master Cangyuan, resulting in an unknown fate.

Isn’t it better just to live well?

Every day eating, drinking, watching the sun rise and set, with wife and children by your side, that’s what life is all about.

“Why hasn’t Saint Heng come back yet?” Li Changqing muttered, then reached out to take the teacup.

But as soon as he touched the teacup, the handle suddenly broke…
