Cultivate, Sign In, And Be Rewarded Handsomely Novel - Chapter 233

“These guys were famous two days ago. They were originally hiding in their shelters. Who knew that a powerful figure would come and save them?”

“But didn’t they already go out? Logically speaking, they should have disappeared. Why were they captured again?”

As Li Yuanqing chatted with them, he walked towards the human team and sized up the humans in front of him.

In terms of numbers, these people were about the same as the ones he had left behind that day. They should not have lost anything.

It should be because they had been lacking resources for a long time and did not have much combat strength. When they were discovered by these devils, they were immediately captured and did not have the time to resist.

The devil behind him continued to smile at Li Yuanqing and said, “Who knows? Do you know? These humans are very stupid. They’ve already escaped, but they don’t leave. They just hide in this cave. I don’t know what they’re doing. Coincidentally, we’d bring people over and catch them.”

Li Yuanqing nodded slightly and said unintentionally, “I see.”

“Pfft!” A human at the side spat on Li Yuanqing when he heard their words. “If not for those bastards trapping us there, we brothers would have left long ago. When we recover our strength, we will fight you to the death. How would we end up like this?”

The devil stretched out a blurry foot and kicked the person’s stomach. “You human, you’re already captured. Why are you still talking so much?”

Li Yuanqing asked again, “In that case, haven’t you discovered any other humans? I heard that an advance team from Ping City came here a few days ago to cause a ruckus. They should be nearby, right?”

…

The demon replied, “Don’t mention it. Those people from Ping City ran very fast like rabbits. They disappeared in a short while. However, we found these people behind them. It’s an unexpected gain.”

“Hmph!”

The captured humans were furious when they heard this. It was those bastards who refused to let them go that caused this. Then, those people led the devils to the place where they gathered so that they had nowhere to escape. They simply treated that mountain nest as their cell.

Li Yuanqing had also counted the people and heard their story. He suddenly took off his hat. His face was still covered in a layer of black fog, and nothing could be seen clearly. However, his head clearly looked like that of a human.

This shocked the devils behind. They were all stunned and did not react to the situation.

“You?” He looked at Li Yuanqing in shock. His brain short-circuited and he did not know what to do. He was about to shout when it was too late.

Li Yuanqing did not even raise his hand. He only released a faint fluctuation from his eyes and immediately destroyed the power of his entire body.

All of this happened in an instant. The devil troops in front were still advancing in an orderly manner, and no one noticed the situation here.

Only the few devils nearby hurriedly picked up their weapons when they saw their brothers who were here just now were suddenly killed and their bodies had dissipated.

However, these people were just nothing in front of Li Yuanqing. He could destroy the few devils behind him with a raise of his hands.

At this moment, the humans finally reacted. The one who had been mixed in these devils was not a devil, but a human.

“The human race has rebelled!”

Following that loud shout, it attracted the attention of the devils in front of them. The small devil troops that were leisurely advancing in front hurriedly turned around.

However, the person in front of them was not an ordinary person. When they turned around, they saw a large patch of black fog rising from the human camp behind them.

Wasn’t this black fog something that only the devils could have? The power of the devils was actually condensed on a human, and it seemed like he could use it very flexibly.

Just as the many devils were still dumbfounded, the vigorous black fog attacked forward and instantly enveloped the devil team.

When the black fog dissipated, the area ahead was empty. There was nothing left. The shackles on the humans’ hands had disappeared completely. It was as if these devils had never appeared.

Just as the humans were still in a daze and looking around for their savior, a sentence echoed in the sky. “Go to Ping City!”

Then, there was nothing else.

Everything that had happened just now was like a dream. They had only closed their eyes and opened them again, but they had regained their freedom. The change between freedom and being captured was so fast that they were not prepared.

“What happened just now? Who saved us?”

“Why does that power look like a devil to me?”

“How is that possible? It’s impossible for the devils to save us.”

“It must be that senior again. It must be that senior who saved us from the devils!”

These humans finally realized such a huge power and such a shadowless figure. It was as if there was only one powerful person around who could do all this. It was the lord who could enter and leave Sea City freely and save thousands of them from Sea City. Other than that lord, who else could do it?

They did not know why that lord had saved them time and time again. However, they would not let go of such an opportunity this time, nor would they let others keep them in a narrow valley.

“Ping City! We must go to Ping City!”

“That’s right. The lord has already said that we have to go to Ping City. Ping City will definitely have a way for us to survive!”

The humans quickly came to a consensus. They changed direction and headed straight for Ping City.

Li Yuanqing stood on a small mountain behind them and watched as this group of people gradually left. The Blood Vine had appeared beside him at some point.

“Master, humans are always like this. Since you’re a human, you should know very well about them. It’s definitely not the first time, and it can’t be the last.” The Blood Vine seemed to be gloating. “I think this General Sun is not rare among humans.”

Li Yuanqing was very surprised by the self-deprecating tone of the Blood Vine.

Li Yuanqing turned around and looked at him. “There’s no need to say that about me. Everyone is doing their best. However, the human race has unity and the miracles they can create are far from what the demons can compare to.”

“How can we cultivators be considered united? It’s just the law of the jungle. Isn’t it enough as long as we can survive? Who cares about unity?” The Blood Vine was very agitated as he looked at Li Yuanqing.

He seemed to realize that he had lost his composure and hurriedly restrained himself. Instead, he said, “I’m saying that, Master, you shouldn’t exaggerate this power too much. Of course, the most important thing for cultivators is to cultivate themselves. Everything else is nothingness.”

Li Yuanqing only glanced at him and did not pursue the matter. He turned around and left with him.

The Devil King stood in front of Hai Changping’s cell and looked at the corpse that was dragged out. His expression was abnormally heavy. Before this guy died, they did not ask where the specific token was. Now, they might not be able to return.

However, how could he have thought that such a thing would happen? There were clearly a few generals guarding the entrance. Those people were all very powerful third-grade Formation Arrangement Realm experts. No matter what, it was impossible for them to watch as others sealed the cave again.

However, it happened just like that. Although he did not expect it, it still happened so quickly.

Hai Changping was already dead. Now, there was no one left in Sea City who knew the way to open the Heaven and Earth Stone Tablet. Those demons had already been slaughtered by them. The only person who knew the whereabouts had also committed suicide. They seemed to have no way out.

The Devil King’s devilish aura kept fluctuating, and howls kept coming from the cell beside him.

The shouts of the prisoners made the Devil King even more frustrated. These demons and humans were really disgusting. At such a time, they still used such noise to dirty his ears.

The more the Devil King thought about it, the angrier he became. He looked at the cold corpse in front of him again. Hai Changping was still staring at him with his two eyes, as if he was mocking his incompetence.

Hai Changping was clearly a corpse, but there was a smile on his face. He, on the other hand, was clearly still alive, but he could not smile no matter what. This situation was really difficult.

If he wanted to go back, he had to find another token. However, it was not that easy to find a token. Where to find it was a huge problem.

“Let me out!”

“I want to get out!”

“Kill them!”

…

Wails rose and fell in the water prison. This endless torture tortured these powerful people.

They were originally famous figures outside, but after being tortured here for decades, no one had the heart to do so. All that was left was this tattered skin.

The so-called shame, the so-called righteousness, no longer existed here.

The Devil King was troubled by their shouts.

The faint shouts here and the increasingly desperate situation made the Devil King’s mood even more depressed.

After a certain moment, the Devil King suddenly could not hold it in anymore. After a loud shout, his entire body erupted with an endless devilish aura.

This endless devilish aura instantly filled the entire water prison. Wherever the devilish aura went, the wails were extinguished like lamps.

By the time the devilish aura in the water prison was retracted, the Devil King had already walked to the entrance of the water prison. There was not a single living person left in the water prison.

Those cells were originally filled with people, but now, not even bones were left. They had all become food for the Devil King.

Just as the Devil King was feeling frustrated, he suddenly saw a red vine in the courtyard. He felt that it was vaguely familiar. The red vine twisted, as if it was swaying its body intentionally or unintentionally.

The Devil King stretched out a hand and pulled the red vine over, uprooting it. The very weak roots were still twisting pitifully.

The red vine landed in the Devil King’s hand and suddenly made a sound. “Spare me, Your Majesty!”

The Devil King looked coldly at the red vine. “I’ve seen you before!”

The red vine said to the Devil King very charmingly, “I’ve admired you for a long time. I left a trace of roots in your bedroom.”

“No wonder I remember that you look familiar. How dare you!”

“Your Majesty, calm down. Don’t attack!” The red vines hurriedly asked for mercy.

“Then give me a reason not to kill you.”

“I’m here to report the method of escape to Your Majesty!”

The Devil King’s face darkened. He suddenly exerted strength in his hand and ruthlessly squeezed the red vine. He could not help but scream when he felt the huge force coming from it.

“How do you know the situation of our devil race now? I see that you have ulterior motives. Where did you come from?”

The Blood Vine hurriedly begged to take a detour. “Your Majesty, I really admire your heroic bearing, and I really know a way out. If Your Majesty can believe me, there will still be a chance of survival. Otherwise, I’m afraid you can only stay in Sea City and wait for death!”

Although the Devil King really wanted to crush this thing to death, this person’s words did attract his attention. Now that they were in such a predicament, what would happen to him if they could not bring these tens of thousands of devils back?

Moreover, without energy replenishment, his power would gradually weaken. In the long run, there would only be death.

After thinking about it, the Devil King still chooses to believe this very unreliable guy.

“How can I trust you?”

“Your Majesty, you don’t have to believe me. You just have to listen to me!” The Blood Vine said to the Devil King emotionally.

“It was said in ancient times, a mysterious passageway suddenly appeared in the Devil Realm! A lot of devils appeared from this mysterious passageway. The demons could not do anything to these devils, and they don’t know where they came from, but they were attacked for several years.”

The Devil King nodded to himself. He clearly knew that there was such a story.

“Later on, the Great Guardian tried his best to chase all the devils out of the Demon Realm. However, no one knew how the Great Guardian could come out from the Devil Realm, so they left a secret passageway there.”

At this point, the Blood Vine completely captured the Devil King’s attention. “You mean there’s another passageway that leads to the Devil Realm?”

“That’s right, Your Majesty. As long as we find this passageway, we can succeed. We won’t have to sit here and wait for death when we return. Moreover, we can bring a large number of troops over and unify the Demon Realm. Isn’t that wonderful?”
