Chapter 131 - Visit Demon Judgment Division


Chapter 131: Visit Demon Judgment Division

The waiter naturally did not dare to agree casually. He quickly relayed these words to Hu Jiujiu and asked her to make the decision.

At this moment, Hu Jiujiu could not help but look at Li Yuanqing with a probing gaze. She did not dare to make a decision because she had just been reprimanded.

“Toasting? Looks like someone wants to make friends with me. Coincidentally, I also need the locals to know more about the situation in this city…” Thinking of this, Li Yuanqing smiled faintly. “Tell that guest that I’m very interested.”

...

At the same time, he threw a low-grade spirit stone into the waiter’s hand to thank him for helping him pass the message.

The waiter held the spirit stone with both hands and was overjoyed. He nodded and smiled. “Please wait a moment.”

The waiter came over to reply to the patrol captain, who naturally went over happily. Holding a cup of good wine in his hand, he walked to Li Yuanqing’s table and nodded politely at Li Yuanqing and Hu Jiujiu.

Li Yuanqing nodded faintly.

The captain of the patrol team said, “Brother and Miss, I would like to propose a toast. Can you give me some face?”

“We’re both humans. Of course we can.” Li Yuanqing said.

Hu Jiujiu listened to Li Yuanqing, so she did not say anything and just nodded.

“My name is Zhao Tai’an. I’m the captain of the patrol team in this area. May I know your name?”

“My name is Li Yuanqing. This is my friend, Hu Jiujiu.” Li Yuanqing smiled faintly and picked up a glass of wine.

The two of them drank a cup. Zhao Tai’an sat opposite Li Yuanqing very naturally.

“Miss Hu Jiujiu should be an extraordinary demon, but I think your relationship is equal…”

Before he could finish speaking, Hu Jiujiu rushed to answer, “I… I have always respected Li Yuanqing as an elder brother.”

The dignified demon race, and it was even Hu Jiujiu, who had an excellent appearance after transforming, was actually calling Li Yuanqing her elder brother.

Zhao Tai’an immediately felt that Li Yuanqing was even more unfathomable and had a hint of respect for him. This person was definitely a hidden big shot. He had to build a good relationship with him.

Thinking of this, Zhao Tai’an smiled politely. “I see. Brother Yuanqing is really young and promising. You don’t look old, but you’re very capable.”

Li Yuanqing smiled faintly and waved his hand. “You’re too kind. I’ve just arrived in the Catacombs not long ago and am not familiar with Black Dragon Ping City. Can you introduce me?”

Zhao Tai’an perked up and smiled. “Of course. This Black Dragon Ping City has a bit of history. I’ve been in the catacombs for a hundred years! It can be said that I relied on luck to find this place. At that time, this town was already very powerful, but it was smaller than now.

“There is no lack of talented mighty figures among the natives of the Catacombs. These mighty figures have cultivated to a level beyond this world. They either ascended and left this world, or they died. There are also some…”

At this point, Zhao Tai’an paused and lowered his voice.

“There are still some mighty figures who have survived until today. However, their cultivation levels have dried up, so they can only let the ruins in their domains appear to protect their descendants, hoping that there will be talented people among their descendants.

“These mighty figures have fallen silent and are looking forward to the moment when they can see the light again. Of course, these are all things I’ve heard from others over the years. When I first came, someone told me this as well. But see, I’m still a resident of the lowest level of the town.”

Zhao Tai’an shrugged with a bitter smile.

Li Yuanqing listened with relish and nodded. After thinking for a moment, he continued, “Brother Zhao, please continue.”

Zhao Tai’an took a sip of wine and chuckled. “This Black Dragon Ping City is naturally the domain ruins of some ancient mighty figure. The She Clan of this Black Dragon Ping City is the descendant of the Almighty Black Dragon. In this town, they are equivalent to the royal family of our world. They have the power to kill!

“The other demon clans are a little inferior. The various ordinary demon races are even inferior. After that are the vicious beasts and humans. This area can be said to be the slums of Ping City. All the humans are gathered here.”

Zhao Tai’an smiled sarcastically and said, “I spent a lot of effort to become the captain of a patrol team. Speaking of which, I can be considered to have eaten the royal grain.”

Li Yuanqing nodded and asked, “Brother Zhao, what realm were you at when you first came to the Catacombs?”

“First-grade Grotto-Heaven Realm.”

“And now?”

Li Yuanqing stared at him intently.

Zhao Tai’an smiled bitterly. “It took me a hundred years to reach the second-grade Grotto-Heaven Realm! It’s probably impossible for me to advance to the third-grade Grotto-Heaven Realm.

“The cultivation progress of all of us outsiders is terrifyingly slow. This is also the reason why we humans are still at the bottom of the hierarchy even though we have been developing here for a long time.”

Li Yuanqing nodded solemnly.

That’s right. The cultivation and comprehension abilities of the human race were extremely high. There was no reason that they were still suppressed by the other races and could only be slaughtered to have developed for so many years.

There must be something fishy about this.

Li Yuanqing thought of the black dragon statue and a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.

“If I can go to the black dragon statue to sign in, I might be able to find some opportunity…” Li Yuanqing calculated in his heart and said, “Brother Zhao, did you come alone?”

Zhao Tai’an waved his hand. “No, I came with a few brothers from the patrol team.”

“That’s good. I ordered a lot of dishes. It’s a waste if we can’t finish them anyway. Let them eat together. Treat it as my treat!”

Li Yuanqing invited them politely.

“I don’t think that’s a good idea.” Zhao Tai’an hesitated.

“Don’t stand on ceremony. We’re all humans. Of course, we’re united in this place.”

“Okay! Wait for me to call them.” Zhao Tai’an stood up and walked away.

Soon, he arrived with five or six members of the patrol team.

Li Yuanqing took a look and saw that their realms had reached the first-stage Grotto-Heaven Realm. He stood up and said politely to everyone, “Everyone, please take a seat. I’m new here, so I’ll treat everyone to a meal!”

Hu Jiujiu sat silently at the side. Her appetite was not big to begin with. She was full after two bites. Now, she had nothing to do.

Everyone thanked Li Yuanqing politely and sat down to drink. Someone toasted Li Yuanqing, and Li Yuanqing did not reject them. They would all drink a cup together, but a person could only drink one cup at most. He would never drink too much.

Everyone tactfully stopped paying their respects.

Li Yuanqing continued to chat and asked about the patrol team’s usual work. He immediately knew what was going on.

It turned out that if new human cultivators wanted to survive in this town, they had to serve first. Every month, they would go to the military for a few days. If he had connections, he could get some spirit stones and go to the patrol team. Those without money would be given the dirtiest and most tiring jobs.

This was the current situation of the human race. If they refused to serve, the human race would not even have a place to survive.

These patrols were mostly led by their captains and were all made up of humans. There were twelve people in a squad. Every three days, the patrol team would change. Basically, after a month, a small team would be able to patrol all of Ping City.

Li Yuanqing had just arrived. Needless to say, the people from the Demon Judgment Division would soon come to check his household register and force him to serve. However, since Li Yuanqing had just arrived, he needed to walk around and get a reward by signing in.

It just so happened that he could join the patrol team next time. This way, he would be able to walk around the entire city.

At the thought of this, Li Yuanqing already had a plan.

Everyone drank happily and had more respect for Li Yuanqing. He had the ability to spend so many spirit stones on a meal. Furthermore, he was a human and was very generous. There was a demon with a noble bloodline beside him who was extremely respectful to him.

Li Yuanqing naturally became a big shot in everyone’s hearts.

After the meal, Li Yuanqing bade farewell to Zhao Tai’an.

After everyone separated, Li Yuanqing secretly turned around and used the Aura Divination Art to take a look. He immediately frowned.

Among Zhao Tai’an’s team members, there were two people with thick black aura. It was obvious that they were not far from death.

“What’s going on?” Although Li Yuanqing was puzzled, it had nothing to do with him. It was better not to get involved.

In this town, he had yet to stabilize his footing. It was better to stabilize his footing first.

Hu Jiujiu quietly followed behind Li Yuanqing.

Along the way, there was no lack of little demons who came forward to strike up a conversation. However, Hu Jiujiu smiled and rejected them mercilessly.

After returning to the house he had bought, Li Yuanqing returned to his room and entered a meditative state.

Hu Jiujiu turned into a little fox with soft fur and curled up on Li Yuanqing’s bed.

A team of flying ants appeared from underground and followed Li Yuanqing’s thoughts. These ferocious-looking ants formed a small team and quietly sneaked into the darkness. More than a dozen flying ant squads cooperated with the man-eating vines underground and silently explored the town.

Soon, a team of flying ants found the location of the Demon Judgment Division. This was a place similar to a government office for the demons. They were in charge of all punishments.

The members of the patrol team usually gathered here.

Nights in the Catacombs were very long, and the demons would become abnormally excited at night. Therefore, maintaining law and order became a very important matter.

It was time for the next patrol team to set off.

A patrol team led by Zhao Tai’an began to patrol along the established route every day. Two of them were the two people Li Qingyuan had seen about to die.

With a thought from Li Yuanqing, a group of flying ants flew into the sky and dispersed. They began to fly silently.

The man-eating vines were also quietly moving under the feet of the patrol team. These people patrolled the streets as usual and gradually approached the center of the town. Here, humans became extremely rare. Most of it were the residences and territories of some demon clans.

As the men reached a territory, a shadow materialized out of the darkness. The black figure opened his scarlet eyes. He was already impatient.

The flying ants in the sky naturally noticed the abnormality.

Li Yuanqing became nervous because the black shadow looked like a python. However, the difference was that it was a python with horns.

However, from such a distance, he could not see clearly through the perspective of the flying ants.

When the patrol team had just left the territory of the aristocratic families, a black shadow shot out from the darkness.

Almost instantly, a person’s scream sounded!

Then, another person screamed!

By the time Zhao Tai’an and the other members of the patrol team reacted, the two people behind them had already disappeared. Everyone looked at each other and checked everywhere. However, the strange thing was that two of his companions had disappeared.

“What, what’s going on!” Zhao Tai’an shouted in exasperation.

As the captain, he had to bear the responsibility for being attacked for no reason. Moreover, the two people who were attacked usually addressed everyone as brothers.

Zhao Tai’an closed his eyes slightly and a faint fluctuation spread out. In an instant, it expanded to a radius of a hundred meters. This was a divine sense release that only a second-grade Grotto-Heaven Realm expert could do.

But still nothing.

“Quick, find them! The patrol team has been attacked. Inform the higher-ups immediately!” Zhao Tai’an roared with red eyes. Everyone started moving.

After the black shadow swallowed the two of them, it immediately rushed back. When he reached the territory he had just passed by, he suddenly stopped.

Its scarlet eyes glanced up! Then, a red light flashed, and more than half of the flying ants in the sky were wiped out.

The red light seemed to be able to turn around, and the flying ants were swallowed before they could react.

Li Yuanqing, who was a hundred miles away, was shocked and hurriedly controlled the remaining flying ants to escape.

The man-eating vines underground also began to quietly contract. However, before it contracted, Li Yuanqing controlled the vines to leave a section behind to mark that spot.

The black shadow narrowed his eyes. He keenly sensed that there must be someone controlling these low-level demon beasts. He sneered and licked the red tongue from the corner of his mouth.

In the blink of an eye, he was gone.

Li Yuanqing was shocked and opened his eyes.

The other party was very powerful. Before he was strong enough, he could not provoke him.

However, Li Yuanqing had already memorized the location of that territory. As long as he walked nearby, the Man-eating Vine’s vines would react.

Li Yuanqing quickly made up his mind. The flying ant squads that were spread out over a hundred miles were all rushing back.

Li Yuanqing glanced at Hu Jiujiu, who was sleeping soundly at the side. He quietly meditated on the bed.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day. When Li Yuanqing woke up, he realized that Hu Jiujiu was still curled up and sleeping. It seemed that Hu Jiujiu had maintained her original form for too long and was more used to the form of a demon beast. He reached out and rubbed Hu Jiujiu’s fur. It was smooth and textured.

Hu Jiujiu opened her big eyes and blushed.

With a bang, the entire demon returned to human form.

Hu Jiujiu turned her back to him and covered her burning face.

“Mas-Master, you’re awake. I’ll go prepare food for you.”

With that, Hu Jiujiu was about to run out.

Li Yuanqing raised his hand to stop her.

“There’s no need. Let’s go to the Demon Judgment Division today!”
