Cultivate, Sign In, And Be Rewarded Handsomely Novel - Chapter 214

The meeting room of the City Lord Manor was silent. Everyone stared blankly at the two big meatballs on both sides. The two big meatballs sandwiched them in the middle. They were four to five meters long.

“What happened? What is this thing?”

“Where did you throw this thing in? Protect the City Lord!”

Only then did they react. They hurriedly formed a circle around Hu Jiujiu, wanting to protect the City Lord. However, Hu Jiujiu completely ignored him. She flew into the air and stretched out her slender hands towards the two cloth bags wrapped in large meatballs.

The two cloth bags flew into Hu Jiujiu’s hands under the suction force, revealing the two bloody heads wrapped inside.

One of the heads was a huge bear’s head, while the other head was a huge wolf’s head.

“What?”

“This is?”

“Xiong Batian and Lang Duankong?”

Everyone present was stunned. They had never expected such a thing to fly in from outside.

…

Xiong Batian and Lang Duankong were both mighty Great Lords. Even though they had already become corpses and only had this head left, the pressure from the two of them still made everyone unable to breathe.

Everyone carefully went forward to check. After many confirmations, they finally confirmed that these two heads were the two lords. However, how did the two famous figures become like this and die miserably here?

All the humans could not understand now. They were all dumbfounded. The humans leaned in the middle in fear. They did not dare to approach the two big meatballs. The dignity emitted by the two things was too huge. Moreover, those two scarlet eyes were staring at them blankly, as if the living Great Lord was staring at them.

This pressure suffocated them. They tried their best to calm themselves down, but how could they calm down when they saw such a scene?

Many of them had never seen a Formation Arrangement Realm expert in their lives. In the past, they had only heard of them. However, today, they had truly seen it with these two big heads. This kind of dignity really refreshed their understanding.

Hu Jiujiu threw the two large cloth bags in her hands to the ground and looked down at the people below before slowly landing.

“City Lord, did you know about this?”

General Liu’s eyes darted around as he hurriedly knelt on one knee to welcome Hu Jiujiu. The others also knelt on the ground and bowed to Hu Jiujiu. They had dared to argue with Hu Jiujiu just now, but after seeing this scene, they did not dare to have any strange thoughts.

Hu Jiujiu’s backing was so powerful that even two Formation Arrangement Realm experts could take their heads amidst a magnificent army. As for them, a group of small humans, they were nothing.

Many human generals could not help but sweat. When they thought about how they had actually talked back to such a huge City Lord, they could not help but feel guilty.

Hu Jiujiu had no intention of arguing with them. She advised them, “Guard your post well according to our city defense plan. This is your greatest contribution to our Ping City. Don’t ask too much about other things, and don’t waste your time asking me. Generally speaking, I won’t answer your boring questions.”

If Hu Jiujiu had said these words just now, they might not believe it. However, after witnessing Hu Jiujiu’s true strength, how could they dare to say no?

“City Lord, don’t worry. We will definitely do our best to guard our positions tightly. There won’t be any mistakes!”

General Liu answered on behalf of everyone.

After Hu Jiujiu calmed everyone down, she naturally leaves in satisfaction.

The chaos in Ping City returned to calm after the generals left. This group of generals was the source of their restlessness. Now that they had seen such power, they did not dare to say anything else.

On the other side, the demon army had gathered outside Ping City and surrounded the entire city. They were about to attack, but no one blew the horn.

Da Mingkong and Shi Fengchun were finally together. The two of them had withdrawn all their array formations. Now, that array formation was useless. However, they did not know if the array formation was meaningful to the two humans. The two of them seemed to feel that this array formation was very important.

Therefore, the two of them still watched the array formation. Perhaps they could be used as bait.

At this moment, their expressions were very gloomy.

“Senior Da, how strong are those two humans? How can they be so elusive?”

Shi Fengchun was a little anxious now. Although he had lived for so many years, he was still inexperienced in such situations. He had originally thought that he would definitely not make a mistake on this job. How did it end up like this?

Shi Fengchun carefully sized up the Da Mingkong. He had an idea, but he did not dare to say it out loud. After all, he was such an old senior. It would not be good to provoke him like this.

Da Mingkong seemed to be thinking, but no one knew what he was thinking. “I’m afraid we won’t have an advantage against them.”

Da Mingkong measured the strength of both sides. Since those two humans could kill the other two brothers so quickly, in that case, their strength was definitely not inferior to the two of them.

In this way, they did not have any advantage in the upper level. Then what about the lower level? Although the hundreds of thousands of demon army was powerful, in terms of strength, the military discipline was lax and the lineup was not complete. It was probably impossible to count on these demons to break through the defense line below.

They had already measured the city protection array in Ping City. Even with their strength, they still needed some time to break through. If the humans below relied on such a huge array formation to defend the city, their subordinates would probably encounter big trouble.

It was very difficult for Da Mingkong to make a decision now. At this time, their army had already gathered here. The reason why they had gathered just now was to prevent the humans from breaking through their ranks one by one. Since they had already gathered, they were not in a hurry to make a decision.

Shi Fengchun said carefully, “Senior Da, I thought that if we could plan better in advance and not disperse our troops like this, would we be able to achieve better results? At least, it wouldn’t be like what we are seeing now…”

Back then, this decision was made by Da Mingkong. The meaning behind his words was very obvious. He wanted to complain that Da Mingkong had made a mistake, but he did not dare to say it directly.

Da Mingkong looked at him indifferently. “I’m afraid it’s meaningless to talk about this now.”

“Senior Da, don’t misunderstand. Of course, I don’t mean to reprimand you. I’m just saying that since we don’t have full confidence now, shouldn’t we wait for a while and see if Lord Black Dragon can mobilize some reinforcements for us? At that time, we’ll be able to take down Ping City in one go and it won’t go against Lord Black Dragon’s arrangements.”

If they retreated like this, then their hundreds of thousands of troops would be completely admitting defeat to the humans. However, admitting defeat now seemed to be a good decision. Before completely figuring out the strength of the human race, admitting defeat and retreating was a good way to preserve their strength.

Da Mingkong naturally would not let his clansmen use their lives to break through the human race’s defense. He had originally planned to let the remaining clansmen of the other two races be the vanguard.

However, since Shi Fengchun had said so much, Da Mingkong dismissed such thoughts.

Da Mingkong sighed softly and gave his final order. “That’s good. In that case, retreat for the time being. Retreat a hundred miles and camp at Dongming Mountain, we’ll wait for Lord Black Dragon’s orders.”

Li Yuanqing stood on a mountain and watched as the mighty demon army surrounded Ping City for a long time before retreating a hundred miles.

Originally, he was already prepared that if these demons continued forward, he could use the power of the protective array to directly take down the two lords. However, who knew that the two of them would actually cower in the end and choose to retreat?

Li Yuanqing had miscalculated. It seemed that if he wanted to take the two of them down, he could only wait for a period of time. He did not know how the two of them would choose.

After devouring the two lords, the Blood Vine fell silent. The huge energy gathered in his body. The Blood Vine was also cultivating in seclusion in Li Yuanqing’s domain, slowly digesting this huge amount of energy. This benefit had benefited him greatly.

After the demons retreated, Li Yuanqing did not intend to continue chasing after them and kill the two of them. Instead, he retreated and returned to the city to rest. Although he did not annihilate them in one go, he had obtained a lot of benefits. Li Yuanqing had to digest these benefits first.

Moreover, Li Yuanqing had also signed in for a magical cultivation technique in Lang Duankong’s territory.

“Illusion Art.” Li Yuanqing lay on the rocking chair in the small courtyard and muttered to himself about the cultivation technique he had just obtained.

As the name suggested, this cultivation technique was a magical cultivation technique for cultivating illusions. There were a total of nine levels.

The first level of cultivation could raise strong fantasies and confuse the enemy with the help of the array formation.

The second level could shrink the array formation and turn it into a simplified talisman.

After reaching the third level, this cultivation technique no longer needed the help of any array formations. With a thought, it could easily transform outer space into anything.

From the third level to the sixth level, it was a process of constantly condensing one’s illusion. It allowed one’s illusion to have fewer flaws and gradually become the reality in one’s imagination.

However, after reaching the sixth level, the description made Li Yuanqing feel a little dizzy. It was said to turn illusion into reality, but he did not know what it meant.

Should he let the enemy not notice any flaws, or should the illusion be that great that it could even lie to himself, or should he really be able to transform the illusionary item into a physical object?

Although Li Yuanqing was still studying this cultivation technique, he had only just started. He planned to cultivate this cultivation technique to the third level so that he could have another skill.

He now had a huge domain. If this cultivation technique was added to his domain, wouldn’t he be able to transform everything into nothingness? This huge power was really powerful.

After the demons retreated, the nervousness of the people in Ping City also relaxed. They all thought that they were about to face the final battle, but from the looks of it, it was far from that time.

“It’s the Sword Immortal! It must be the Sword Immortal’s protection that made us safe for the time being!”

“That’s right. It must be the Sword Immortal. It must be the Sword Immortal guarding me. He let the demons see a huge power and make them retreat without fighting!”

The people in Ping City had a very strong belief in the Sword Immortal. They believed that this was definitely what the Sword Immortal had done to protect their peace. Even when the demon army was pressing on the border, they still firmly believed that there must be such a Sword Immortal who could save them and bring them to victory.

As expected, under their pious prayers, the demons retreated. The demons must have retreated in fear of the Sword Immortal’s immense power.

Li Yuanqing had only strolled around the market and listened to the topics of the Sword Immortal everywhere.

The market in Ping City could be said to be blooming in many places. Not only was this place operating well, but everyone was also very happy to exchange the treasures in their hands.

Therefore, the market in Ping City became more and more prosperous. All kinds of treasures were exchanged very frequently.

Li Yuanqing had so many treasures under his name, and they were all strange things. Everyone couldn’t care less about the price at this time, although the price was very high. They came one after another, making this place very lively.

“Fellow Daoist, you really can’t buy it like this. Five thousand spirit stones is already my bottom line. If you continue to lower it, our shopkeeper will really be unhappy. This isn’t my own treasure. This is all what our shopkeeper recovered from outside. I can’t sell it to you like this!”

Zhao Tai’an had already become a very skilled businessman. He was very natural when bargaining with others.

When Li Yuanqing handed the item to him, he did not set any price for it. He had set it himself.

Opposite him was a young cultivator. This person was frowning and very hesitant. He was very satisfied with the material in front of him, but the price was indeed a little high. “Boss, can’t it be cheaper? I think…”

“Four thousand. Since you like it so much, I’ll sell it for four thousand.”

Zhao Tai’an looked at the door in a daze and subconsciously shouted, “Young Master!”
