nLi Yuanqing looked at the place where the person had disappeared with lingering fear. This person was definitely the strongest among all the opponents he had faced.

n

nFortunately, he was stronger and was lucky enough to dodge it. Otherwise, it would have been very dangerous.

n

nHe gently touched Little Dot who was in his arms. This time, it was all thanks to Little Dot’s help. If he hadn’t found the weakness of the domain space immediately, he would probably have been killed by that guy in the domain space.

n

nLittle Dot raised his little belly proudly at Li Yuanqing, as if he was asking for credit.

n

nLi Yuanqing took out two devil crystals and stuffed them into Little Dot’s mouth. These were the remaining two fourth-grade Formation Arrangement Realm fellows.

n

nLittle Dot opened his mouth and swallowed the devil crystal. He even patted his stomach in satisfaction. After eating his fill, he retreated to rest. Li Yuanqing put away the altar.

n

nThere were still many humans in Rong City who were still controlled by the wooden-faced man. Although the wooden-faced man looked like he was already dead, it was hard to say if he had any backup plans.

n

nJust as Li Yuanqing was about to leave, a gust of wind suddenly blew past, blowing away the wooden fragments on the ground, revealing a wooden token.

n

nThe wooden token was dark and inconspicuous. If not for the fact that the color of the wood beside it was too light, they might not have discovered it.

n

nLi Yuanqing waved his hand, wanting to summon the piece of wood into his hand. However, he realized that his power was like a rock sinking into the ocean when it landed on it. There was no reaction at all.

n

nHe walked over strangely and looked at this strange thing. He did not know what material this was that actually had such a strange characteristic. It seemed to have a great repelling effect on spiritual energy.

n

nLi Yuanqing picked up the token and examined it carefully.

n

nThe decoration on this black wooden token was very simple. There was a huge word “Ling” on the front and a circle of strange patterns on the back. These patterns were deep and shallow, and they were inlaid very appropriately.

n

nLi Yuanqing had never seen such a style before. If he had never seen it before, it did not seem to belong to this world.

n

nPerhaps it had come to the Catacombs from another world, so these array formations must belong to that world.

n

nLi Yuanqing gently stroked the black token. He could not tell anything from it. After studying it for a long time without any results, he could only put it away obediently. Now, he had to hurry up and save those people.

n

nAt the entrance of the City Lord Manor, a cloaked figure was busy moving back and forth. Every time he walked along the long passageway, there would be humans standing obediently on the passageway like a puppet.

n

nHe transported these humans into the City Lord Manor one by one. It was unknown what he was doing, but he looked very busy.

n

nAt this moment, a young man suddenly landed in front of this person. This man had anger on his face as he glared at the fellow in front of him.

n

n“General, what are you doing?”

n

nThis hunched person was shocked to see Li Yuanqing and almost lost his balance and fell behind. However, when he saw Li Yuanqing’s face, he seemed to heave a sigh of relief.

n

n“Young Master Li, it’s you. You’re here.” He leaned against Li Yuanqing’s feet and lowered his voice. “While that guy is probably fighting with a certain senior, quickly activate the array formation inside and send everyone out. We only have this one chance.”

n

nHe thought that the wooden-faced man was still alive. Just now, he had finally mustered the courage to gather the humans in waves outside the array formation that had been sealed.

n

nLi Yuanqing pushed aside his cloak and a disgusted expression flashed across his face.

n

n“How did you become like this?”

n

nThe Great General hurriedly covered half of his face and said guiltily, “I’m sorry, Young Master Li. That senior came with you this time, right? Let me tell you, that guy is especially powerful. Let’s leave quickly and let the senior escape as soon as possible. I’m afraid we won’t have a chance of winning if we continue fighting him.”

n

nLi Yuanqing looked at him silently.

n

nThe Great General thought that Li Yuanqing did not believe him and hurriedly pulled him back. Thinking of his current identity, he carefully let go of his hand and said anxiously, “Young Master Li, I’m really not lying to you. You’re in a very dangerous situation now. They only have this one chance to escape. You can’t waste the time that Senior has bought for you. As long as you destroy the array formation after you pass, you’ll be safe!”

n

n“Where is the destination of the array formation?”

n

nLi Yuanqing suddenly recalled that Rong City had been implementing the strategy of locking down the city recently. In the past, there had been some teleportation arrays, but they had all been sealed by themselves. Now that he suddenly mentioned this, where was this array?

n

nThe Great General lowered his head guiltily and said slowly, “Actually, it’s the Saintess.”

n

n“What?”

n

n“The Saintess was afraid that something would happen in the city, so she secretly sent someone to discuss with me and connect the two cities.” As the Great General spoke, the guiltiness in his tone became even heavier. “I didn’t agree at first, but the Saintess insisted on leaving this array formation behind. I had no choice but to follow her. However, I’ve never really taken this place seriously. Now, I’ve brought this upon myself, but…”

n

nThe Great General, such a cold-blooded and heartless man, actually lowered his head and cried in the face of such a situation.

n

nLi Yuanqing snorted coldly and said, “Ye Qiluo did her best for you, but you let the rumors spread in the city that she’s already dead. You really have good intentions!”

n

n“Young Master Li, I was wrong. I know that the Saintess has always been with you. Please tell her that this is all my fault and has nothing to do with my subordinates. I will take the initiative to bear the punishment. I hope the Saintess can forgive me.”

n

n“Do you expect Ye Qiluo to forgive you after you caused Rong City to be like this? Even if she can forgive you, I’m afraid the entire city won’t be able to forget all the pain.”

n

n“I know!” The Great General hurriedly said, “I hope that the Saintess can tell everyone about me and let everyone use me as a warning not to do such a divided thing again!”

n

nLi Yuanqing did not have a good impression of this fellow. This person did not do anything good. Back then, he was the one who led the way to chase Ye Qiluo away.

n

nHowever, if not for that, Li Yuanqing would not have had the chance to win Ye Qiluo over to Sea City. Li Yuanqing was very satisfied with Ye Qiluo’s personal ability.

n

nLi Yuanqing definitely did not have any feelings for this great general. In fact, his impression of this great general was even worse than what he showed.

n

nAfter the Great General finished speaking, he changed directions and pointed in a direction. He said to Li Yuanqing, “Young Master, there’s still a group of people left there. There aren’t many left. Bring them all.”

n

n“What about you?”

n

nLi Yuanqing looked at him in confusion. Why was this guy walking towards the place where he had fought just now? Could it be that he still wanted to join the wooden-faced man at this time?

n

nThe Great General said without looking back, “The Saintess has given me a new life. Now that I’ve caused a huge disaster, I naturally need to make up for these disasters myself to atone for my sins. Senior is still fighting with that monster. I have to help him. I should still be useful.”

n

nAfter saying that, he left in a hurry. Li Yuanqing had no intention of stopping him. He watched him leave for that place where there was nothing left.

n

nIf he hadn’t done such a thing, Li Yuanqing would probably have personally killed this acting City Lord. It was all because of what he had done here that Rong City had become like this.

n

nAlthough Rong City might not be able to resist the invasion of external enemies with its own defense, at least it would not fall without any warning.

n

nBehind the small door was a long and narrow passageway. The passageway was filled with humans. These humans all had their heads lowered and their eyes were empty as they looked at their feet. The entire passageway had become a display cabinet for dolls.

n

nTheir minds were all controlled by the wooden-faced man. Even though the wooden-faced man was already dead, his power of control still existed.

n

nLi Yuanqing casually pulled a child over and raised his head. The child’s big eyes slowly opened, but what appeared was white.

n

nThe child widened his big white eyes and looked at Li Yuanqing. Li Yuanqing was completely unprepared and checked up and down. Just as he lowered his head, the child in front of him suddenly opened his mouth and was about to bite Li Yuanqing’s neck.

n

nLi Yuanqing lifted the child’s clothes and exposed his stomach. There was a very small wooden piece embedded in the little fellow’s chest.

n

nThis piece of wood was black and there were some very small and strange patterns on it. These patterns were still shining with a faint light from time to time. There was actually a core array formation controlling it.

n

nLi Yuanqing gently pressed his finger on the small wooden piece. With a little force, the small wooden piece shattered into two with a crack.

n

nThe child’s mouth had already landed on Li Yuanqing’s neck. There was only a centimeter left before his mouth closed and he was about to bite down. However, the moment the wooden piece shattered, the child seemed to have lost all his energy. He suddenly lost his motivation and collapsed.

n

nLi Yuanqing carried the little fellow on his shoulder and patted his head gently.

n

nHe had checked carefully just now and realized that the power on this little fellow’s body had all gathered at the core of the array formation in the center. This array core looked really strange. He had never seen such a thing before and did not know how it worked.

n

nAlthough Li Yuanqing was proficient in array formations, none of the knowledge he had learned in the array formation books here could engrave such a complicated array formation into such a small piece of wood.

n

nIt was difficult to imagine how these people had done it. With such precision, Li Yuanqing would probably not be able to figure it out no matter what.

n

nAfter the core was destroyed, the little boy returned to normal. The spiritual energy flow in his body was completely restored and there was no abnormality.

n

nLi Yuanqing checked carefully again and realized that there were no obvious changes in the human body after the core was destroyed. There should not be any side effects.

n

nAfter confirming it, a very huge power was released from his body.

n

nThis power instantly swept through the entire passageway and accurately gathered in front of everyone’s chest.

n

nFor a moment, the entire passageway was filled with cracking sounds.

n

nAfter the cracking sounds ended, there was the sound of people falling to the ground. Those humans who had been released could no longer maintain their standing posture without the support of the core.

n

nAll of them fell to the ground one by one. The entire passageway was filled with people. They fell asleep in a daze, completely unaware of what had happened to them. It was as if they had a dream, a dream that they would wake up from soon.

n

nAfter Li Yuanqing released everyone in Rong City, he arrived at the towering pavilion.

n

nSomeone was gradually waking up. Just now, Li Yuanqing had checked everyone carefully and there was indeed only one person.

n

nSuch a fellow had controlled the entire human race and locked them up tightly. If one did not see it with their own eyes, they would probably find it difficult to believe that this was the truth.

n

nWhere did he come from? Li Yuanqing was filled with doubts. Since he called this place the lower realm, he must have come from a higher dimension. What kind of world was it?

n

nAlthough Li Yuanqing had also come to this Catacombs world from above, the spiritual energy in the world he existed in was not even as dense as here. Then, if he could reach the place where that fellow lived, would he have a chance to take another step forward and increase his strength faster?

n

nHe vaguely looked forward to going to such a place. It must be a paradise for cultivators. All cultivators wanted to go to a place with extremely rich spiritual energy.

n

nHe believed that after this incident, the Black Dragon would no longer casually come over to find trouble.

n

nAccording to this logic, since these strange figures were from the so-called upper realm, then what about the Black Dragon? The Black Dragon was actually with them, so it should also be from that strange place.

n

nLi Yuanqing took out the black wooden token again. This black wooden token was very strange. Because of its unique personality, there was no way to store it no matter what. There was no need to mention the storage artifacts. It could not even be placed in Li Yuanqing’s domain space.
