Chapter 244: Returning Home
Li Yuanqing thought that he had found the answer to the problem, but he did not expect that it was still a huge question mark.
Although the two of them knew a little about this matter, they knew nothing about the use of this array, how to activate it again, and where those humans had gone. The news mentioned by the Fire Spirit King and Turkey did not sound to be of much help to the current situation.
Li Yuanqing looked at the key lying in his palm. It seemed like it was not that realistic to get an answer from the two of them.
The two of them also noticed the small key in Li Yuanqing’s hand. However, the two of them did not dare to ask. They only stood carefully on the table and sized Li Yuanqing up. They still could not figure out Li Yuanqing’s temper. This person had just said that he would leave them a way out.
Seeing that Li Yuanqing did not speak for a long time, the Fire Spirit King finally could not help but step forward and ask him, “Sir, you said just now that you wanted to give us a way out. Let me say this first. The two of us have already told you all the information we know in our lives. If you don’t believe me, you can search for it yourself.”
The Fire Spirit King’s words were very sincere. The two of them were in Li Yuanqing’s hands now and could not fight back at all. He could crush their lives with a single move. If they did not plead for mercy now, when would they be?
Turkey also said obsequiously, “Sir, that’s all we know. If you want to know more, why don’t you go to those human cities to ask? I heard that Ping City and Rong City are already under the control of humans. Someone in those two cities should know the history of this.”
Only then did Li Yuanqing remember that there was a rumored Saintess of the human race in Rong City. However, he did not expect that the human race had such a glorious situation in the Catacombs in the past, so he did not take it seriously. Now, Ye Qiluo should be able to help.
Thinking of this, Li Yuanqing made up his mind. He could already return home.
It would not be easy to repair this teleportation array in a short period of time. It was missing a very important component. Most importantly, he did not know where this teleportation leads to. If it was sent to an extremely dangerous place, he would be courting death.
Even someone as powerful as the Blood Vine was trapped here and could not leave no matter what. Presumably, the other end of the teleportation array was definitely not a peaceful place.
Li Yuanqing dismissed this thought. Although he had already advanced to the sixth-grade Formation Arrangement Realm and was strong enough, he still felt that he was a little lacking. For the time being, it was not enough for him to barge into those dangerous places.
After making up his mind, Li Yuanqing stood up and put away their souls.
“Sir…”
The two of them wanted to plead again, but the scene in front of them changed and they suddenly arrived at a large empty s.p.a.ce. They were stepping on soft gra.s.s. When they looked forward, there was a tall snow mountain not far away.
The situation here was so magical. There were snow mountains, low-lying lands, and even lakes. All kinds of scenes were fused together, and they were not abrupt at all. They looked very graceful.
However, if one came back to their senses and thought about it carefully, they would have a strange suspicion about the very beautiful scene in front of them. This feeling of separation was very puzzling.
Li Yuanqing casually placed the two of them here. A sprout grew out at the side and hid in the very comfortable gra.s.s, looking very low-key. This sprout was red all over and filled with vitality as it grew luxuriantly against the light projected from the sky.
“Where am I?”
The two of them looked around helplessly. They did not know where Li Yuanqing had gone, but he had left them here and disappeared.
“It’s over, it’s over. We brothers have been wise our entire lives. I didn’t expect us to die here.”
“Don’t say such things now. Perhaps that lord is listening now. We brothers should be more obedient. I think this lord will definitely let us live, don’t you think so?”
“I’m really unlucky to have known you for my entire life. If you hadn’t brought him over, the two of us wouldn’t have fallen to such a state.”
When the Fire Spirit King thought of the scene just now, he was furious. The two of them were fine, but the b.a.s.t.a.r.d in front of him insisted on roping in this guy. In the end, he put the two of them in a very dangerous situation.
Moreover, the two of them had fallen for it without any warning at that time. They had been dealt with obediently. Now, even their bodies had been destroyed, leaving only this wisp of soul behind.
In fact, their souls were still in his hands. If he wanted to deal with them at any time, the two of them would die. How could these two old demons who had lived for more than a thousand years be willing to accept this?
When Turkey heard him say this, the anger in his heart rose. “Fire Spirit King, you’re blaming me now, but I didn’t see you speak at that time. I asked for your opinion, but you couldn’t think of anything and even asked me to give you an idea. That’s why I came up with this idea!”
The Fire Spirit King said mockingly, “Come on, you call this an idea? In my opinion, the two of us brothers will die here today. We can’t even think about escaping. It’s already good enough that we can reincarnate. I’m afraid our souls will dissipate again.”
“What do you mean? You’re pushing all the blame to me. Are you more n.o.ble than me when it comes to Lord Black Dragon?”
The fire in Turkey’s soul burned brightly. The two of them stood opposite each other, distancing themselves from each other.
The Fire Spirit King did not want to say anything more to him. He muttered curses and said some very unpleasant words, but only he could hear them. Turkey did not hear it accurately.
How could Turkey not know him? The two brothers had been together for so many years. He knew exactly what this kid was muttering in his heart. A bright beam of light erupted from Turkey’s small head and smashed towards the Fire Spirit King.
The Fire Spirit King was shocked and hurriedly dodged to the side. He was almost hit by the beam of light.
“You’re crazy, you ungrateful thing. I saved your life back then. Have you forgotten that?”
“Don’t mention those things to me. Don’t you owe me enough?”
“Why? Do you have to fight me today?”
“I wish I could kill you now!” Turkey shouted and waved his transparent fists as he pounced at the Fire Spirit King. That attack just now had used up a lot of energy. He had to save some. Otherwise, his soul form would not be able to last.
The two people trapped in the domain argued with each other and actually fought. Li Yuanqing, who was outside, looked around and decided to leave.
However, he carefully studied the seven seniors in front of him. These people were like living humans. Their expressions were lifelike and the muscles on their bodies were very elastic. They felt like real people.
Why did they seal themselves? Why did the Blood Vine choose to escape from here and reach the outside? Now, there was nothing left of him. The Blood Vine did not leave any answers.
Li Yuanqing finally walked to the entrance of the small room. He stood at the edge of the array formation and bowed deeply to the seven seniors inside.
Although he had never met the seven seniors before, these people had created a glorious history for the human race. Li Yuanqing, who was also a human, was extremely emotional about this. Regardless of whether it had anything to do with him, these human seniors were indeed worthy of respect.
Li Yuanqing bowed and was about to leave when he suddenly heard a bang behind him. He turned around and saw a small jade staff about half a meter long in the hand of a burly man at the door. This staff made of jade was very short and exquisite. Li Yuanqing did not touch the things in their hands. He still had basic respect for these seniors.
However, this little thing actually fell down on its own. Li Yuanqing thought for a moment and decided to pick it up.
“Senior, please excuse me.”
Li Yuanqing nodded slightly at the man in front of him and picked up the jade staff. After he picked it up, the staff suddenly shone brightly. However, this light dissipated after a dazzling flash and returned to its ordinary appearance. It looked no different from before, but it was very strange.
Li Yuanqing was about to put the little thing back when he felt a very warm feeling from it, as if it was sending him a signal.
“Why is it so strange, Senior? Do you mean to hand this staff to me for safekeeping?”
The man did not answer. He was still the same. He had become a statue. However, the jade staff in Li Yuanqing’s hand flickers slightly, as if he agreed with him.
Although Li Yuanqing was puzzled, he still kept this little thing carefully. He slowly retreated and slowly released a huge force towards the stone door.
The strange thing was that the Devil King had spent a lot of effort to open this stone door just now, however, it seemed to be effortless when it was closed. Li Yuanqing only used a little strength and the stone door slowly closes itself.
Li Yuanqing still had too many questions about this place. He took one last look at the stone door before slowly leaving the long and narrow pa.s.sageway.
After leaving the Black Stone Valley, Li Yuanqing rushed straight to Rong City. He had too many doubts and wanted to ask Ye Qiluo.
Moreover, he realized that the Black Dragon actually had so many capable subordinates. Li Yuanqing originally thought that the Black Dragon was already out of capable subordinates after he sent the few lords.
However, he did not expect him to have such a faction. There were actually so many people behind him that had not been mobilized. This Black Dragon did not seem to be an easy problem to resolve.
In Rong City, a huge celebration banquet was being held in full swing.
“All of you, drink. We have to drink until we’re drunk today!”
“Drink, everyone raise your gla.s.ses. No one is allowed to sneak away today!”
In the center of Rong City, there were hundreds of tables in a very huge square. Every table was surrounded by more than ten people who were drinking with each other in full swing.
These people drank and shouted. The atmosphere was very lively. Anyone who walked past would be pulled in. This was their human race’s celebration party. Even those humans who had just joined them from the wilderness could partic.i.p.ate in the celebration banquet.
There were many of them. Originally, they thought that the human race might be gone just like that. Originally, when those people ignited the flames of revenge, they still did not move and felt that it was not so easy to overthrow the demons.
As expected, the demons made a comeback later on, and many humans escaped. They were still glad, but now that they seemed to have completely obtained such a huge victory, these humans who were fleeing in the wilderness finally made up their minds.
For a time, the strength of the two cities, Rong City and Ping City, had increased greatly. The people in the wilderness had even brought many strange treasures.
They had been struggling for their lives in the wilderness for so many years and had many good things hidden in their hands. Now that there was such an opportunity, they naturally injected fresh energy into the two large cities.
“As long as we follow the City Lord, we will definitely be able to win in the end. The City Lord is our hope! The City Lord is the future of everything!”
However, someone had drunk too much and started praising Ye Qiluo in an exaggerated manner.
As the Saintess of the human race, Ye Qiluo was praised to the skies by the people below her after her victory. She was simply a savior. There were also some legends about the Sword Immortal of Ping City, but this spread was far inferior to the fact that the City Lord was the reincarnation of a G.o.d.
“That’s right. Since our City Lord can lead us to defeat such powerful demons, she will definitely be able to lead the human race back to prosperity. She will return all the humiliation we have suffered for so many years to the demons!”
“Long live the City Lord!”
These people drank wine while shouting Ye Qiluo’s name. Ye Qiluo’s statue could be seen everywhere in Rong City. The people here needed such a spiritual faith.
However, Li Yuanqing rejected Ye Qiluo’s request to erect his statue. Therefore, the people below erected Ye Qiluo’s statue and worshiped her as a G.o.d of the human race.
