n

nThis thing was extremely precious as a gift. However, Minglun was not tempted at all and rejected him directly.

n

n“Xu Zhuoheng, you should give up on this idea as soon as possible. The City Lord is not interested in you. I think you should stop asking for trouble. If you continue to pester us like this, don’t blame us for being rude.”

n

nMinlun slowly drew his knife out a little as he spoke.

n

nThe person standing opposite him was called Xu Zhuoheng. He was one of the stronger humans.

n

nWhen Xu Zhuoheng saw that the soft approach was not working, his eyes became fierce. He looked at Minglun coldly and said, “Come on, you’re just a dog under her. Don’t waste time with me. Hurry up and call her out. How much face does Hu Jiujiu have?”

n

n“Xu Zhuoheng, how much face do you have?”

n

n“I told you, I don’t want to hear you barking here again. Did you not hear me?” Xu Zhuoheng’s voice gradually turned vicious.

n

n“Please leave quickly, or we’ll have to take action.”

n

n“Take action?” A sinister smile appeared on Xu Zhuoheng’s face. His figure flashed and he disappeared. When he reappeared, he was behind Minglun, one hand on Minglun’s neck.

n

nMinglun widened his eyes and wanted to draw his long saber, but he no longer had any strength in his body. All the spiritual energy in his body had been sealed by Xu Zhuoheng.

n

n“I told you long ago not to bark here, but you didn’t listen. You made me dizzy and insisted on making me attack you.”

n

nXu Zhuoheng was so ruthless and fast that the people around him had no time to react.

n

n“Put our captain down quickly!”

n

nWhen the remaining guards saw that their captain’s neck was being pinched like a chick, they naturally didn’t dare to do anything. This person was indeed powerful. Not to mention the captain, even the City Lord might not be able to defeat him.

n

nXu Zhuoheng lifted Minglun up and shouted into the City Lord Manor, “Hu Jiujiu, I’ve already given you enough face. If you don’t come out, your dog will die.”

n

nMinglun’s face was red and his breathing was weak. He was about to suffocate to death. If this continued, he probably wouldn’t be able to hold on for long.

n

nHowever, just as Xu Zhuoheng was feeling smug, a fragrant wind suddenly blew in the sky.

n

nThe onlookers smelled a rich fragrance that lingered at the tip of their noses.

n

n“Is it the City Lord?”

n

n“The City Lord is here.”

n

nXu Zhuoheng had just raised his head to take a look when he felt a sharp pain in his hand. He subconsciously put Minglun down.

n

nA gust of wind blew Minlun aside and he was placed gently on the ground.

n

nHu Jiujiu was standing beside Minglun. It was unknown where she came from, but she seemed to have been standing there all along.

n

n“As expected of Hu Jiujiu. I’ve long heard that you’re powerful. Now that I look at you, you’re indeed worthy of me, Xu Zhuoheng.”

n

nXu Zhuoheng’s words were rude and unreasonable, not showing any mercy.

n

n“Bastard, what nonsense are you spouting?”

n

n“Another ignorant guy is here to cause trouble.”

n

nHu Jiujiu just stood there with that charming smile on her face. Her smile seemed to last forever.

n

n“What right do I have to be your partner?”

n

n“Hahaha, Hu Jiujiu, I see that you still have some self-awareness. That’s good. After you obediently follow me, with my help, you can still break through another level. It’s hard to say.”

n

nAs Xu Zhuoheng spoke, he casually walked towards Hu Jiujiu. However, he had just taken two steps when he suddenly felt his body stiffen. The stiffness stunned him. He felt as if his hands had turned to stone and he could not move them. It was even difficult to move. He moved his legs with all his might. However, his legs seemed to have been injected with cement and were firmly embedded inside, unable to move.

n

n“This is?”

n

nHu Jiujiu floated over to him and gently caressed his face. “Since you’re so enthusiastic, follow me.”

n

nWith that, Hu Jiujiu held Xu Zhuoheng’s hand and landed in the City Lord Manor, shocking everyone outside.

n

n“He went in just like that!”

n

n“Something’s wrong. What happened just now? That Xu Zhuoheng doesn’t seem right.”

n

n“What do you mean what happened? He’s obviously hooked up with the City Lord. Why do you care?”

n

nXu Zhuoheng had never dreamed that with his powerful strength, he would never leave the City Lord Manor again.

n

nUnder Ping City, Li Yuanqing looked at the small array formation in front of him and was pleasantly surprised. There were indeed many good things under Ping City. These demons had left behind many array formations.

n

nThe one in front of him was actually a small teleportation array.

n

nLi Yuanqing had yet to try it out, but from the looks of it, it should not have been transmitted to this space. He did not know what would happen if he was transmitted to another space. Therefore, Li Yuanqing did not dare to try it immediately.

n

nIn addition, this place had suffered some damage after the previous battles, so Li Yuanqing repaired it first. After repairing the array, Li Yuanqing sent the flying ants in to investigate the situation.

n

nThe flying ants returned unscathed.

n

nWhat surprised Li Yuanqing was that these arrays were all connected to some small worlds. These small worlds formed a sky. Although there was no forest inside, the spiritual energy inside was rather dense, and there were many rare treasures.

n

nThis was only one of the places that Li Yuanqing had discovered. According to the investigation of the flying ants, there were many teleportation arrays like this underground. If he could master all of them, it would definitely be a very rich treasure.

n

nSpeaking of which, discovering these places was also very coincidental.

n

nWhen the flying ants were investigating, they discovered that some of the demons were acting very strangely. They often disappeared after arriving at a place. Li Yuanqing did not care at first, but the situation was too strange, making him want to investigate.

n

nIn the end, he found so many good places.

n

nLi Yuanqing was holding the neck of a demon. This demon was hanging there on its last breath, clearly unable to survive.

n

n“I didn’t expect you guys to hide so many things.”

n

nThe demon in his hand was gurgling and could not say a word. He was still alive and was about to be finished.

n

n“What’s going on? Why isn’t he back yet?”

n

nThe two demons waiting outside looked around anxiously. The two of them were keeping watch outside. Just now, their brother went in to get something. But why wasn’t he out after so long? Could something have happened?

n

n“What nonsense are you talking about? Who knows about this place? Other than us, no one else knows. He’s not in trouble. This kid is probably lazing around inside again.”

n

nThe two demons complained to each other, but after waiting for a while, there was still no movement inside. The two of them could not sit still anymore.

n

n“Something’s wrong. Although this kid is usually playful, he won’t go overboard. Why is he still inside after so long today? Where did he go?”

n

n“Don’t tell me he took something and ran away?”

n

nThe two of them looked at each other. There might be other teleportation arrays connected to this small world. If their brother really took the item and ran away, wouldn’t they be unlucky?

n

n“No, let’s go in and take a look!”

n

nThe two of them discussed it and got in angrily. After walking down dozens of steps along the secret entrance, they finally arrived at a dark passageway. They walked down a few more steps through the dark passageway and turned a corner to the teleportation array.

n

nHowever, what was different from what they had imagined was that there was a young man standing on the teleportation array.

n

nThe young man stared at the array carefully, studying it as if he was looking at the inscriptions on it.

n

n“Who are you? Why are you here?”

n

nThe two of them looked at Li Yuanqing, who had appeared, and panicked. They were clearly guarding outside. How could someone appear inside?

n

nLi Yuanqing turned around and glanced at the two of them. “There’s no need to go out. The two of you can stay here.”

n

n“Human, how did you get here? What nonsense are you spouting? What did you do to my brother?”

n

nThe two of them looked at the dying brother in Li Yuanqing’s hands with shock in their eyes.

n

n“Hurry up and put my brother down. I’m warning you, if you don’t put him down, we’ll attack!”

n

nThe two of them took out their artifacts.

n

nOne of them took out a huge black iron ax. Coupled with his burly figure, it was as terrifying as a small mountain growing two big wrenches.

n

nThe other man took out a thick, black rope and dangled it in his hand. The rope emitted a sour and smelly smell.

n

n“Big Brother, don’t talk to him so much. Hurry up and take down this human brat and save Third Brother. He looks like he’s about to die.”

n

nThe two demons became more and more anxious as they watched. Their third brother, who is in Li Yuanqing’s hands, looked like he was about to die. The two of them had no time to think about why their third brother had become like this.

n

nLi Yuanqing shook his head helplessly. Initially, he was looking at the inscriptions with interest, but why did these two people not know what was good for them?

n

n“Why is it so difficult to make the two of you wait for a while?”

n

nLi Yuanqing sighed helplessly and had no intention of taking out his weapon.

n

nSeeing how arrogant Li Yuanqing was, these two demons thought that they had the upper hand. If they directly take Li Yuanqing down, they might get many benefits from him.

n

nThe two of them shouted and pounced towards Li Yuanqing. They were huge to begin with. Coupled with their speed, it was like they could suck the air out of this cramped space. It instantly became a huge pressure in the narrow secret space. Li Yuanqing was in the center of the pressure and two sharp blades were about to fall from his head.

n

nHowever, all of this was only in the imagination of the two demons. What they did not expect was that their bodies could not move when their weapons had just landed on Li Yuanqing’s head.

n

nThey were carried in midair like they were petrified. They still had thoughts in their minds. Their eyes could still roll, but their bodies were frozen in midair like two sculptures.

n

nLi Yuanqing said indifferently, “I’ve already told the two of you to be obedient. Don’t affect my mood as it’s the critical moment.”

n

nAfter Li Yuanqing realized that there was no danger in the small world over there, he wanted to go over himself. However, the array formation was not completely repaired yet. It would not be a problem if the flying ants go, but he still had to be more careful if he wanted to go over.

n

nThe two demons could only watch as Li Yuanqing repaired their array formation, but they could not stop him.

n

nNot long after, a few vines suddenly seeped out from the ground. These vines were very thick. These thick vines slowly crawled up and slowly condensed into the appearance of a young girl.

n

nThe demons looked at the girl in front of them and were overjoyed.

n

n“My fellow race, quickly take down this human! After you take him down, we will definitely not shortchange you!”

n

nThe two of them were overjoyed. They did not expect someone to come and save them at such a time. However, what they did not expect was that when the Man-eating Vine appeared, Li Yuanqing did not move at all, as if he did not notice her. It was as if the two of them knew each other.

n

nThe man-eating vine smiled at the two of them and opened her wide mouth. It did not match her appearance.

n

nThe Man-eating Vine looked at the two demons and licked her lips as if she was looking at two sumptuous delicacies.

n

n“What are you doing? Hurry up and take him down. He has invaded our space. Take him down quickly. These treasures are all yours!”

n

n“But I like you two more.” The Man-eating Vine smiled evilly and walked over to the two demons. Her limbs suddenly split into vines that filled the sky.

n

nThe vines that filled the sky wrapped the three demons tightly. These demons were controlled by the protective array and could not move. The Man-eating Vine had already fused with the protective array and could use these powers with ease. She can control these people as she likes.

n

nAfter two extremely suppressed screams, there was no more sound. They were already firmly wrapped in the vines and could not move no matter what. They were already dead.

n

nLi Yuanqing ignored the Man-eating Vine and let her busy herself. Instead, he studied these array formations in just a short while and was almost done repairing them.

n

nLi Yuanqing took out two medium-grade spirit stones and took the two spirit stones on the original array that were about to run out of energy and replaced them with these two new ones.

n

nThe array formation was brand new and emitted a faint fluorescent light.
