“Young Master.”

Ye Qiluo looked at Li Yuanqing with a complicated expression. How could she thank this man, the man who had saved her time and time again?

She already knew what had happened in Rong City. She had been suffering during this period of time. Every day, she would painfully try to contact Rong City, but Rong City had sealed itself off and she could not contact it.

This time, Li Yuanqing activated this array formation again and asked her to send someone to help Rong City reestablish order.

Li Yuanqing slowly drank his tea, his mind filled with the scene of his battle with the wooden-faced man.

!!

Although the demon beasts here were very powerful and their bodies were tough enough, they often lacked strategy.

Rong City would not feel much pressure even against demon beasts with higher cultivation levels than them.

But this wooden-faced man was different. The power in the wooden-faced man’s body was not especially strong. It should not be much different from Li Yuanqing.

However, under such circumstances, Li Yuanqing felt a very powerful pressure when facing the wooden-faced man. He even felt that he could not win with his own strength.

It was all thanks to the carelessness of the wooden-faced man that he had some help. If not for the altar, something big would have happened.

Could it be that everyone in that world was so strong? What kind of world was that?

After knowing that there was such an upper world, Li Yuanqing could not calm down no matter what. He felt that he should take a look and find that world. If he went there, he might be able to wake up the signing system that had been sleeping for a long time.

The signing-in system seemed to be bored with the Catacombs world. Li Yuanqing had not signed in anything for a long time. He had already been to many places here. It seemed like it was time to leave.

Li Yuanqing frowned and pondered. Ye Qiluo did not dare to disturb him for a long time and could only serve him carefully.

After a long time, Ye Qiluo dared to ask carefully.

“Young Master, are you alright?”

Ye Qiluo gently shook Li Yuanqing’s body. Li Yuanqing came back to his senses and looked at Ye Qiluo.

“Young Master, just now…”

“Nothing. I was thinking about something. Don’t worry.”

“That’s good!”

Ye Qiluo slowly reported the current situation.

“Rong City suffered heavy losses this time and lost about thirty percent of its population. Fortunately, you arrived in time and saved the remaining people. They have already recovered. Although their thinking might still be a little abnormal, the impact on their bodies is not big. They should return to normal after slowly recovering.”

Li Yuanqing nodded gently. “Calm them down. Since you’ve returned, you can be the acting City Lord. Stay there until the new City Lord is chosen. They need someone they can trust now.”

“Okay.” Ye Qiluo asked worriedly, “That Black Dragon is so powerful. If he has such power just by sending a helper, what should we do if he sends someone else in the future?”

Li Yuanqing was also thinking about this.

“I’ll look for him.”

“What?”

“I will find Black Dragon and ask him to give up this place. From now on, there will be no such trouble.”

“Young Master, have you already found where Black Dragon is hiding?” Ye Qiluo stared at Li Yuanqing in confusion. “You have to know that Black Dragon is famous for being cunning. No one knows where its true body is. There are all kinds of clones of Black Dragon scattered everywhere. Young Master, don’t fall into his trap. If you fall into his trap, I’m afraid…”

Li Yuanqing took out the black wooden token.

“I already know some clues.”

“What is this?”

Ye Qiluo looked curiously at the black wooden token in Li Yuanqing’s hand. There were no spiritual energy fluctuations on the wooden token, but why did Li Yuanqing value this thing so much?

“Haven’t you seen it before?”

“No, this is the first time I’ve seen it.”

Li Yuanqing shook his head silently and put the black wooden token away. He had hoped to get some information from Ye Qiluo, but it seemed like it was hopeless.

“Is this the clue Young Master found? It should be related to the whereabouts of the black dragon, right?”

“This person should be from the same place as Black Dragon. Although I don’t know where they are yet, I will definitely find him.”

“Young Master, do you mean that they don’t belong to this space?”

“I’m not especially sure now. Or you can help me investigate if you have any information related to this token. It would be best if you can find it.”

“Young Master, don’t worry. The seniors in the Scripture Library are still alive. I’ll copy the appearance of this token and let them study it carefully. I believe there will be results.”

“Thank you.”

“Young Master, you don’t have to be so polite with me. I owe you too many favors. In the future, if you have any orders, please be direct. Don’t be polite with me.”

Li Yuanqing smiled and felt that this relationship was a little strange.

“The array formation in Rong City has been completely destroyed. Get Little Man to come over and redesign the new array formation. Her current strength is enough to design a large array formation. Leave it to her.”

“The State Preceptor has just taken a vacation, and now she’s being pulled back by me. The State Preceptor will be unhappy.”

“Who’s unhappy?”

Little Man had already arrived outside and ran in when she heard the two of them talking.

“State Preceptor, you heard me just now.”

“Of course. My ears are very sharp.”

The two of them had been partners for a long time. Now that they were working together again, it was even easier. Li Yuanqing also believed that they would definitely be able to rebuild Rong City.

Compared to their relaxed and happy place, a sallow and thin Daoist with white eyebrows was pacing back and forth in the cave abode angrily.

“How did this happen? Just a brat who’s still wet behind the ears?”

He found it unbelievable that he would lose to such a fellow.

“I was dealt with by a human kid from the lower realm. If this gets out, I’ll bw shamed!”

The white-browed Daoist cursed angrily, cursing from time to time.

“It’s all this bastard Black Dragon’s fault. He tricked me with a mere flood dragon’s egg.”

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He was really greedy back then. For such a small benefit, he inexplicably ran to the lower realm. In the end, he was taught a lesson by the little guy.

In front of him was a simple small case.

The solid wood case was engraved with very clear patterns. These patterns were entangled with each other, and there was a ball of charred soil in the middle. This was originally a descending array. He used this array to transmit his power to the lower realm and condense that clone.

However, the core component of the array formation had already been completely destroyed. The one who destroyed his array formation was an unknown human from the lower realm. Moreover, that lower realm had always been a vassal of the Black Dragon. The energy inside should have been sucked dry by the Black Dragon. How could such a powerful person be born?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He felt that this damn Black Dragon must have hidden something from him. Otherwise, he would not have been defeated so miserably.

Just as he was sulking here, a hurried fluctuation suddenly came from outside the cave abode.

The phantom of a black dragon appeared in front of him.

“Xuanji.”

The white-browed Daoist was furious when he saw this fellow and disappeared.

Outside was a mountain peak shrouded in immortal aura. Halfway up the mountain, in front of a green cave abode, Black Dragon in human form was waiting in boredom.

He had already transformed too many clones previously, and now was the critical moment to break through to the next realm. He could not split the power in his body again, so he found a good friend of his this time.

Daoist Xuanji was cultivated by demon beasts, but unlike ordinary demon beasts, he was especially good at mechanisms.

In the early years, Daoist Xuanji had acknowledged a human immortal sect as his master. That was why he felt that he had this ability.

However, it was also because he had wasted too much time on the mechanism technique that Daoist Xuanji’s cultivation breakthrough was inferior to his clan. Now that he was old, he would probably not be able to find a chance to advance further in his life.

It was also because of this that Daoist Xuanji spent more time studying the mechanism technique. He yearned for himself to be able to seek a breakthrough on another path and obtain a longer life.

However, this Daoist Xuanji, who had always had a good temper, did not have any kindness on his face when he appeared today.

“Black Dragon, you tricked me and caused me to lose a clone for nothing. How are you going to compensate me?”

Black Dragon looked at him in surprise.

“You failed?”

“You still have the cheek to say that? That kid actually has such a Dharma treasure in his hand. My clone fought with him, but in the end, he used a Dharma treasure to take it.”

“Dharma treasure?”

Black Dragon’s expression slowly turned ugly.

He had come here today to ask about the situation. Just now, in the communication, Daoist Xuanji had cut off their call without saying anything. He thought that this matter had not gone particularly smoothly, but he did not expect it to fail.

“Don’t come looking for me in the future. Also, don’t forget the flood dragon egg you promised me!”

Black Dragon was also aggrieved now. He was also a sucker. He had lost a flood dragon egg for no reason and he had yet to succeed, but he was already asking for something.

“Xuanji, can you be reasonable too? I entrusted this matter to you and promised you a reward, but now that you’ve messed things up, how can you take my dragon egg?”

“Then who will compensate me for the clone I lost? I was bewitched by you to go to the lower realm. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to go to that lousy place!”

Black Dragon frowned and pondered. He did not expect Li Yuanqing to be so powerful. He felt that although he was still quite powerful, his clone’s move might be one level inferior and could not suppress that human. Therefore, he found Daoist Xuanji.

This guy had endless methods, and his clones were unique among everyone’s clones.

After all, this fellow was a master of puppet techniques. No matter what, his clone should be able to deal with Li Yuanqing. However, he did not expect Li Yuanqing to win. This really subverted his imagination.

Black Dragon pondered for a long time and looked at Daoist Xuanji. “I can give you the dragon egg, but you have to capture that kid with me.”

“Capture him?” Daoist Xuanji said disdainfully, “Then what does the lower realm, which is your territory, have to do with me? Moreover, that kid is holding a legitimate Dharma treasure. How do you think the two of us can take it down? Just based on your words, how many clones do I have to sacrifice?”

Black Dragon’s eyes lit up. “Xuanji, you saw what that human kid is holding. It’s a Dharma treasure. How strong is he? He’s only at the Formation Arrangement Realm. If we kill him, the Dharma treasure will belong to the two of us. At that time, after the Demon Realm is stabilized, I’ll just give this Dharma treasure to you. Wouldn’t we make a profit?”

“Give me the Dharma treasure?”

Xuanji stared at Black Dragon doubtfully.

Black Dragon patted his chest and said, “We’ve been good friends for many years. Why can’t you even trust me? Moreover, I’ve worked hard for so many years in the lower realm. I can’t let it fall into the hands of the human race easily. Wouldn’t my reputation be destroyed?”

Xuanji snorted coldly and complained, “Your reputation has long been destroyed.”

Black Dragon’s face darkened and he felt a little embarrassed.

“Let’s not talk about that first. Just tell me if you want this Dharma treasure or not. If you want it, we can cooperate. I believe such a good opportunity is important to you.”

“What’s important about me? I don’t have anything to lose. If you hadn’t lied to me, I’d still be fine. Nothing would be missing.”

“Think about it. Isn’t your precious mechanism technique lacking a Dharma treasure as its core?”

Daoist Xuanji narrowed his eyes and looked at Black Dragon. He did not expect Black Dragon to be so well-informed. He even knew about this.

When Black Dragon saw that his scheme had succeeded, he immediately smiled proudly.

“Xuanji, I’ve already given you so many benefits just to save my reputation. So what if that Dharma treasure is compared to a lower realm?”

This was indeed a very good deal. If he could obtain a Dharma treasure, it would be very beneficial to his personal strength.

No matter how wealthy Xuanji is, it would only increase the income of a mineral. Dharma treasures were rare.

“But the question is, why does that kid have a Dharma treasure? Is there someone standing behind him?”

“I’ll send someone to find out.”
