Chapter 241: Enemies Should Be Befriended
Li Yuanqing’s question was not answered. There was only this empty and strange array formation in front of him. The patterns drawn on the array formation had also dimmed. When he entered just now, the entire array was still flickering with light. However, after a while, everything seemed to have never happened. The fluorite gradually dimmed.
Li Yuanqing looked around. There was nothing in the entire room. He did not know why this person had gone through so much trouble to come here. Just as he was about to leave, he accidentally discovered a very subtle seed on the man’s stool. If not for his outstanding eyesight, he probably would not have discovered this thing. Why did this thing appear so suddenly here? It looked inconspicuous.
Li Yuanqing held the key in his hand and planted the seed into his domain. Although the Blood Vine had already disappeared, this operation should be considered successful.
After destroying this devil king, there would be no more obstruction in Sea City in the future. When the Devil King left, he absorbed all the energy in his clansmen’s bodies. Now, the devils in Sea City could only guard Sea City and wait for their lord to return. They only had a little energy left in their bodies to support the king’s return as soon as possible. Recovering Sea City was just a matter of time.
Li Yuanqing left the room at the end. Other than this array formation, there was nothing else inside. Moreover, this array formation seemed to be missing a very important component. He could not find a way to activate it.
Li Yuanqing tried a few rounds of methods but to no avail. He could only give up decisively.
After pa.s.sing through the long and narrow pa.s.sageway again, Li Yuanqing was much faster than when he came. When he came out again, the black valley outside was still the same. It was such a solid fortress.
Li Yuanqing released his huge divine sense and was surprised to discover that the flat platforms beside him, which looked inconspicuous initially, have array formations below.
When there was a battle, there would be humans hiding inside, controlling the array formations inside to resist the invasion of external enemies. They relied on the powerful defense of the black stone and could be said to be impregnable. If they defended, this place would be impregnable. Even with such a strong defense, they could not defend this place back then. It could be imagined how powerful the powerful enemy they faced was.
As soon as Li Yuanqing came out, he suddenly felt two energies approaching him rapidly from afar. He slowly disappeared into the black rocks in the forest, completely hiding his figure.
Not long after, two large black clouds suddenly appeared on the horizon. The two black clouds approached and circled above before slowly landing in front of the hall.
Two figures appeared at the entrance of the hall. These two people were strange and looked like demons. One of the two demons’ faces was red, and his exposed skin emitted a bright red color. The other was wrapped in wings. He flapped his wings gently, bringing with him a gust of wind.
After the two of them arrived, they stopped at the door and carefully looked inside.
“Fire Spirit King, we’re already here. Did you see anything?” The guy with feathers on his body seemed to be watching the show.
“Turkey, you’re not thinking of making a fool of me, are you? What? If anything happens here, can you escape or something?”
The two of them actually started arguing here. Neither side seemed to give in to the other. They looked at each other with faint impatience.
“Come on, you’re making a fuss about something here, but what about after you came? You didn’t notice anything, and you made me take a wasted trip with you. It’s really troublesome.” The man called Turkey complained unhappily.
The Fire Spirit King looked around and did not see any problems. However, when he arrived just now, he clearly felt that very powerful energy. Otherwise, he would not have run all the way here. The two of them had been stationed here for hundreds of years. This was a very important place.
“No, I think we should go in and check carefully. Nothing can go wrong here.”
As soon as he said that, Turkey instantly exploded. He glared at him and said impatiently, “Are you done fooling around? We just checked this place half a year ago. It can be said to be absolutely safe now. Why did you have to cause such trouble and make things difficult for everyone?”
“Turkey, if someone really came here, can you bear the responsibility?”
“You want to scare me with this? If you want to go in, you can go in yourself. I’ll wait for you here. I want to see what you can find.”
After the two of them argued, neither of them could convince the other. They might as well part ways at the door. Whoever wanted to do it could do it. Although the Fire Spirit King did not want to go in alone, he was very worried. He gritted his teeth and crawled in.
Li Yuanqing, who was guarding the mountain, wanted to leave when he heard their conversation. He originally felt strange. What kind of place was it that could make the Blood Vine care so much that he came all the way here and even lied to him?
The man transformed from the Blood Vine was gone without a word. Li Yuanqing could not find him even if he wanted to answer his questions. These two fellows suddenly appeared here again, as if they could answer Li Yuanqing’s questions.
Not long after, Turkey, who was guarding the entrance of the hall, suddenly heard a commotion in the distance. He looked up and saw that someone had arrived under the black tree that had been struck by lightning outside the valley.
This person had a pair of horns on his head and his facial features were very huge, especially his bullnose. This guy had a huge bull ring on his nose. Coupled with his tall and strong body, it was obvious that he was from the Bull Clan.
Turkey was originally on guard, but after seeing that person’s face, he relaxed a lot. However, he was still unhappy. This was a forbidden area. Usually, no one was allowed to approach this place. How could that fellow come over here? It was really strange.
Before this person could completely approach, he went up and stopped him. “Fellow Daoist, wait!”
Suddenly, his path was blocked. The bull demon was furious and looked at that person uncomfortably. He asked, “Who’s blocking the way ahead? I’m carefree and pa.s.sed by here. Why are you stopping me?”
Turkey was originally calm, but the moment he was greeted in such an unfriendly tone, it ignited the anger in his heart. “This is a forbidden area. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. How did you get here? Don’t you see the warning tape outside?”
The demons used special ga.s.ses as warning tape, indicating that this area was a special territory. They had also set up a barrier here. However, he did not expect that there would be a fool who dared to enter.
Li Yuanqing, who had transformed into a bull demon, shook his head and said, “Your words are strange. I’ve been here many times. It’s just that after hundreds of years, your barrier has never been removed. I think you’re just pretending.”
“This is not a trick. I’m not joking with you. If you don’t leave now, don’t blame me for being rude.”
“I didn’t see anyone when I came the previous few times. Since you happen to be here today, can I also say that this is my territory?”
“Unreasonable!” Turkey said these words angrily. A weapon made of feathers suddenly appeared in its hand.
This weapon was like a long saber, but his long saber was covered in feathers. Although it looked harmless, it emitted a strong dangerous aura. Anyone who dared to underestimate such a weapon would not suffer.
Li Yuanqing provoked him. “Brother, what are you doing? Don’t tell me you want to fight with me?”
Turkey snorted proudly and looked at Li Yuanqing. “If you know what’s good for you, leave quickly. This is not a place you can stay. If anything goes wrong, you will have to leave your life here.”
“You speak so arrogantly as if this place is your home. I don’t think so. I just saw a human kid leave openly. I didn’t see your people stop him. I’m afraid you can only bully people like me, right?”
“What did you say? Where is the human kid?” Turkey’s chicken face turned ashen.
“Cut the c.r.a.p. Since you’re entrenched here, I can keep my mouth shut. Let’s see what you can do.”
Turkey was very angry. How could this old bull be so arrogant? He was furious. The feather saber in his hand slashed forward unexpectedly, wanting to take the old bull down a notch. However, just as his saber was about to hit the old bull, it was suddenly shaken back as if it had hit an iron plate.
Turkey was shocked. He looked at the guy in front of him and did not know what method he had used just now. This ordinary-looking guy actually calmly received his saber strike. Moreover, a huge force came from the saber, causing Turkey to vomit a mouthful of blood.
Out of dignity, Turkey swallowed the blood in his chest and looked at the old bull in front of him without changing his expression. However, he had another plan now.
Li Yuanqing sized him up and curled his lips. “You still have some skills. You’re quite capable if you’re able to receive my attack.”
“You…” Turkey wanted to retort, but the powerful strength just now made him speechless. This person was not as simple as he looked.
At this moment, a large fireball suddenly rushed out from the hall behind him. The fireball surged out of the hall and arrived beside Turkey at a flying speed.
“Something bad has happened!” As soon as the Fire Spirit King appeared, he shouted at Turkey. After he finished speaking, he realized that there was another person standing in front of Turkey. This person looked like he was from the Bull Clan. However, why would a demon appear in this place? Such a thing had never happened before.
“How dare you! Do you know where this is? Is this a place you can come to? Go back to where you came from immediately!” The Fire Spirit King berated loudly and wanted to attack immediately. His hands were hot and his entire body was burning with flames. However, he was hurriedly stopped by Turkey at the side.
“Brother Fire, wait!”
“Why are you stopping me? This is a forbidden area. How can we let such a person enter and leave as he pleases? Hurry up and clean this up. There’s a huge problem inside. We have to go in and clean up the mess quickly.”
The Fire Spirit King was so anxious that he was about to burst into flames. How could he care so much now? Who knew where this brat came from? However, his appearance here was his greatest misfortune.
Li Yuanqing was not afraid at all. He pretended to be very arrogant and glared at the two of them, as if he wanted to fight them to the end.
Seeing that the Fire Spirit King was about to attack again, Turkey stood between the two of them.
“As the saying goes, it’s better to make friends than enemies. I think we should talk nicely and try not to fight.”
“What are you talking about? Something big has happened inside. The seal of the human race has been opened, and there’s one person missing. I suspect that Teng Wudao has escaped!”
“What? Teng Wudao is out?”
“I told you that something bad had happened, yet you’re still here leisurely. The chips are down. Hurry up and deal with this person.”
The Fire Spirit King’s words woke Turkey up.
Turkey hurriedly turned to look at Li Yuanqing behind him and asked, “Brother, did you just say that you saw a human kid nearby?”
“What did you say? He’s seen someone around here?”
Li Yuanqing looked at the two of them proudly and said, “Why? The two of you think of me again, but I’m not in the mood. You can talk to whoever you want. I’ll take my leave first.”
“You’re still so arrogant. There’s only one way for you since you dare to come here, and that is to die!”
The Fire Spirit King still wanted to pursue the matter, but Turkey always looked like he was trying to please him, making him very puzzled.
“What happened just now was a misunderstanding. Brother, don’t take it to heart!”
“So what if it’s a misunderstanding? I don’t like you.”
“Brother, don’t leave yet. I have something good here. I wonder if you’re interested?”
