Chapter 193: Knowing

  

After the inner demon was planted, the Blood Vine’s aura withered for a moment.

Some images seemed to flash past Li Yuanqing’s eyes. These images came from all kinds of different places. They were thousands of kilometers away from here, or even tens of thousands of kilometers away.

It turned out that the Blood Vine had transformed into countless seeds and spread out. These seeds kept extending out and searching for places that matched the description. It was the news brought back by the seeds released by the Blood Vine that allowed the Blood Vine to confirm three places. However, these three places were in three different directions.

...

Now, they were in the center of the triangle formed by the three locations. In that case, it would probably take them a while to check all three locations.

“Master, this is too far. Isn’t this a waste of time?”

The Man-eating Vine looked at the Blood Vine warily. From the moment she saw him, she did not have a good impression of him. This glib-tongued Blood Vine actually had a way to convince her master. She wondered if what the Blood Vine said was true.

If he could really find this treasure, Li Yuanqing’s plan here would obviously be able to be realized faster. However, this was too unbelievable.

The Man-eating Vine, Li Yuanqing, and the others might not know much about this place, so it was difficult to distinguish the truth of these words.

The Blood Vine twisted his body and finally transformed into a human. However, his human form was not a complete human form, but a human body condensed from vines.

“Master, the catacombs are in turmoil now. Many people are searching for these treasures. If others get there first, there will be fewer benefits.”

“Does anyone else know about this?”

“No one else knows yet.”

“Let’s go back first.”

“Master, are you really going to bring this guy back?” The man-eating vine looked at the blood vine gloomily. “This thing has an evil aura. You can’t believe what he says.”

The blood vine’s twisted body laughed. “Little girl, you’re quite strong, but your breadth of mind is a little lacking.”

“Stop talking nonsense with me. I can tell at a glance that you’re not a good person. It’s fine if you’re fooling Master, but don’t say these words to me.”

The blood vine looked at Li Yuanqing and said, “Little girl, do you mean that your master is even more muddle-headed than you?”

“That’s enough. The two of you go to the domain first. I want to return to Ping City first.”

The gains from this trip were already very abundant.

Not only did he obtain enough treasures from Sea City, but he also captured some strange animals and brought them into his domain, gradually filling up the gradually expanding space in his domain.

Moreover, Li Yuanqing had gained a lot this time in Rong City. The treasures hidden by these two powerful lords were a feast.

There were many things that Li Yuanqing did not need. He would bring these things back to Ping City and exchange them for some useful things on the market.

Li Yuanqing was not in a hurry to find the treasure. He brought the blood vine into his domain space and let the Man-eating Vine settle it.

The man-eating vine casually picked a corner at the foot of the mountain and let the Blood Vine settle down for the time being.

Li Yuanqing took out the map again and studied it carefully.

This map was very mysterious. There were many blurry places that could be roughly seen, but these blurry places always made one feel that there was some important information hidden.

Li Yuanqing did not know what was hidden in these places, but judging from the current situation, he had too little information. It would not be appropriate to rush to those places with just this map.

This Blood Vine was indeed an unreliable fellow. Although he had already planted the inner demon, Li Yuanqing would not believe the story told by the Blood Vine so easily.

The return journey was very smooth. The demons in this area had encountered such a huge commotion, and the entire area had fallen into turmoil. There were undercurrents surging in this place, but it looked much quieter than before.

It was because these guys had all fallen silent as they did not dare to go out and cause trouble for a moment.

The two large cities, Rong City and Ping City, were in the hands of the humans. Moreover, the two lords of the demons had failed to attack Rong City. Such an outcome made the other demons stay obediently. No one dared to act rashly.

Li Yuanqing returned to Ping City without any obstructions.

At this moment, Ping City was even more prosperous than before Li Yuanqing left. Everyone here was very confident. Their words were filled with pride, as if they were sincerely proud of Ping City.

Moreover, the population of Ping City was much higher than before. Many of these people had come because of the reputation. Those hiding in the wilderness were also immigrants from Sea City and Rong City.

Ever since the Sword Immortal appeared in Rong City, the legend of the Sword Immortal in Ping City had spread throughout Sea City and Rong City.

Originally, the humans in the two cities did not believe such a mysterious and strange legend. However, when the people in the two cities saw the might of the Sword Immortal with their own eyes, this matter was no longer a legend.

Their arrival made Ping City more prosperous. Ping City also had more treasures, and the market exchange here was more frequent. The development speed was maintained at a very high speed. If it continues to develop at this rate, it might become the top city.

“The City Lord wants to tear down the city walls of the outer city. In my opinion, this is not a good idea. Although we had some good days, the demons outside are also very fierce. If we really tear down the city walls, who knows what will happen?”

Li Yuanqing had just returned and casually found a roadside teahouse to sit down and drink a cup of tea. He wanted to rest for a while. He listened to the recent conversation between the two humans.

The two of them drink their tea and discussed Hu Jiujiu’s latest decision. The two of them had different opinions about this decision.

Another person said, “You’re a little too narrow-minded. Do you know that the entire Ping City is developing very quickly now? At this rate, the space in Ping City will become even narrower. How can you live in such a big courtyard then? It won’t be long before it becomes a small straw hut.”

His friend’s words made the man hesitate. He thought for a moment and pushed the teacup forward. “Ping City is our territory. Outsiders can naturally live in a smaller place. At most, we’ll open up a space for them outside the city. It’s not impossible to build a residential area. Why must we tear down this city wall?”

As the two of them were talking, the person at the table beside them heard their conversation. The older one snorted coldly and looked at the person. “It’s easy for you to say now. Aren’t you an outsider just two months ago? Now that you’ve taken up space, you think you’re a figure in this city. That’s really ridiculous.”

“Isn’t that the point? We came first, so this place is ours. How can it be divided up?”

“Hmph, what’s the use of ordinary people talking here? In any case, the City Lord has her own plans and won’t listen to your nonsense.”

The person who spoke first happened to be sitting next to Li Yuanqing. He turned around and asked Li Yuanqing, who was drinking tea with his head lowered.

“Brother, you have to be the judge. Tell me, who is right and who is wrong in this matter? Shouldn’t it be first come, first served? Since we were here first, we should take advantage of these things. I’m being called disgusting just by being righteous.”

“Who are you talking to?” The brother sitting at the same table with him also looked at him strangely.

He turned around and looked behind him. There was clearly a young man sitting here drinking tea just now, but he had disappeared.

In the City Lord Manor, Hu Jiujiu, who was in a meeting, suddenly seemed to have received an order and hurriedly ended the meeting.

“Let’s just let the decision to tear down the city wall go. Let the array masters choose the location. The city protection array must be more stable. We can lose the city wall, but we can’t lose the necessary protection. I’ve already gathered a few masters to discuss the specific plan.”

Minglun sat respectfully beside Hu Jiujiu. Below him was a row of generals. During Li Yuanqing’s absence, the army in Ping City had been greatly improved.

In the past, there was only a simple guard team, but the guard team was not very strict. Now, Hu Jiujiu had completely expanded the entire Ping City’s guards. It was as if they were formed according to the army.

The captain of the entire guard team was still Minglun.

Minglun was loyal to Hu Jiujiu and had made a lot of contributions. Hu Jiujiu was still very particular about Minglun. Their relationship naturally spread a good story among the guards, and it had made Hu Jiujiu’s image as an affectionate person.

The current guards could be said to be completely loyal to Hu Jiujiu.

After the guards expanded, they became much larger. There were a hundred thousand people. This number seemed to be a little too much for Ping City which had a few million people. However, it was reasonable for their current situation.

After making the arrangements, Hu Jiujiu said to them, “It’s best to explain this to everyone in detail. Don’t let everyone misunderstand.

“The existence of the city wall is indeed unnecessary and has hindered the development of Ping City. That’s why it needs to be demolished. However, it doesn’t mean that we have to give up on resisting the invasion of external enemies.”

Minglun immediately replied, “Of course, City Lord, don’t worry. I will definitely repeat the words clearly and post the notice to explain it to everyone.”

“That’s good. That’s enough for today’s meeting. You guys can go back first. You’ve been busy recently. Try your best to control the foreign population and minimize any trouble.”

“Yes, City Lord.”

The people below stood up respectfully and nodded in Hu Jiujiu’s direction.

Hu Jiujiu was the first to get up and walk towards the back of the hall. She turned around and disappeared through the small door.

The others stayed and discussed for a while before leaving in a hurry.

Demolishing the city wall this time was indeed a relatively risky move. However, it was mainly because Hu Jiujiu had obtained a very powerful city defense array. Moreover, this city wall had already shown its weakness when the enemy invaded.

Therefore, she wanted to take advantage of the weakness of the demons outside to complete this defensive array. At that time, with the huge array underground, the entire Ping City would be impregnable.

After Hu Jiujiu left the meeting hall, she hurriedly returned to her room. When she opened the door, a handsome man was sitting inside, drinking tea and waiting.

“Master, you’re back.” Hu Jiujiu bowed slightly to Li Yuanqing and looked at him excitedly.

“Master, I’ve heard about what happened in Rong City. Many people came to Rong City and told me about you. It feels like I’ve experience it in Rong City after I listened to it.”

Li Yuanqing waved his hand and said very humbly, “That’s not a big deal. I just happened to pass by and taught those two fellows a lesson. Now that Rong City has calmed down, only Sea City is left.”

Hu Jiujiu said to Li Yuanqing angrily, “Master, you don’t know. The humans who came back from Sea City told me that although Hai Changping said that the two races are completely equal, he secretly suppressed the humans and made the people there live very difficult lives.”

Li Yuanqing had personally seen these scenes in Sea City, so he naturally knew.

“Hai Changping is a very cunning person. I’ve already given him a chance. Since he thinks that he doesn’t need such an opportunity, you should show Ping City’s strength.”

Hu Jiujiu said proudly, “Master, I have such plans. After I complete the defensive array this time, I plan to personally lead a team to attack Sea City and teach Hai Changping a lesson. We were in agreement, but he bullied the humans in secret after he went back. It’s really too much.”

With the current strength of Ping City’s army, teaching Hai Changping a lesson could be said to be easy.

Li Yuanqing seemed to have thought of something and waved his hand to release the Man-eating Vine.

The Man-eating Vine circled Hu Jiujiu happily and hugged her arm. She kept calling her sister. “Sister, you don’t know. I’ve missed you these days.”

“Get Little Man to study the city defense array you obtained carefully and fuse it with the Great City Protection Formation.”
