Chapter 319 - Ultimately

“Master, your move just now was too cool. When can you teach us? You actually cracked tens of thousands of troops at once.”

Liu Wen was still immersed in the victory just now. The two of them had personally witnessed how Li Yuanqing dealt with those demons. It was simply satisfying.

Yang Tianqi was also so excited that his face turned red.

“Master, you’re really too powerful. I think those demons are all very powerful. I’m afraid any one of them can turn Sea City upside down. However, so many demons have gathered together, but they were actually wiped out by you casually. I must become someone like you in the future!”

“Then you can wait. I must have become as powerful as Master before you. As for you, I think it’s up to fate.”

The two children sat on the grass of the domain and began to bicker.

There were two huge mountains beside him. These two mountains were piled up with the corpses of those demons. At this moment, these demons had all revealed their true forms. Their bodies were intact, as if they were sleeping. However, Liu Wen knew that these demons would never wake up.

Just now, Li Yuanqing had used the devil crystal platform to suck out all the power in their bodies and their souls. They were already dead and would never wake up again.

Now, these two small mountains were two incomparably huge treasure vaults. The materials that could be gathered from them could be sold for an astronomical figure in the market. Even the treasures in the entire Sea City were not as valuable as the materials on these two mountains.

“Master still has some things to deal with outside. I’ll give both of you a mission.”

“Master, just say what mission you have. We have nothing to do now.”

The two little fellows looked at Li Yuanqing expectantly. Li Yuanqing raised his chin at the corpses beside him.

“The two of you will split the materials in these corpses. This is also a very important lesson. In the future, it will be a very precious experience for you to learn to distinguish between these demon beasts, especially these powerful demon beasts.”

The two little fellows also wanted to show that they were very happy, but even the best things have their limits. There were too many of them, at least thousands.

Li Yuanqing did not even bring back many. Many of them were destroyed and turned into smoke in midair, leaving nothing behind. Even so, there were thousands of huge demon beasts. The corpses of every demon beast were like a small mountain.

Such a huge workload really stunned them. However, the two of them did not dare to disobey Li Yuanqing’s orders. Since their master had said so, the two of them could only obediently accept this mission.

“Yes, Master.”

As soon as they finished speaking, Li Yuanqing disappeared from the domain space, leaving the two of them here to work.

After Li Yuanqing disappeared, their expressions immediately darkened as they looked at each other gloomily.

“No way. It’s difficult for the two of us to break down one of them. Wouldn’t it take a lifetime to break down all these thousands of them?”

“What nonsense are you talking about? Since Master has arranged such a mission for us, he must have his reasons. I think the two of us should work hard. We can’t let down Master’s efforts.”

“That’s right, but this is too scary. I feel like I’m going to die here.”

“Cut the crap. Let’s start with this leopard.”

The leopard in front of them was a full five hundred feet long. Its entire body was very thin, especially at its waist. When the leopard was alive, it was a powerful third-grade Formation Arrangement Realm fellow. However, it was already dead. There was still a vicious look on its face. Just now, they were all looking at the sky covetously, but before they could do anything, they were sucked dry.

The two of them walked up to the leopard and spent a lot of effort working together to carry the leopard down from the hill to an empty space.

They each held a sharp short knife in their hands. The short knives were still flickering with white light. They tried their best to use the short knives carefully on the leopard’s abdomen. However, the leopard’s skin was so tough that neither of them expected it.

The weapons they were holding were already high-end things that their master had given them. However, when they landed on the leopard’s skin, they only left a white scratch. This gave them a headache.

“No way. Is the skin of this thing made of steel? How is it so tough?”

“It’s over. We have to work harder. If this continues, I’m afraid we won’t even be able to deal with one. Master will definitely be furious when he returns.”

Therefore, the two of them worked even harder to fight against these demon beasts. Although their strength was not enough, fortunately, they had divine weapons in their hands. After working hard for a long time, they were finally able to break through it barely.

After Li Yuanqing left the domain space, he appeared in the City Lord Manor.

The City Lord Manor of Sea City was rebuilt on the ruins of the original City Lord Manor. After the original City Lord Manor was occupied by the devils, more than half of it had been destroyed. Now, only a framework was left. Most of the interior was rebuilt after.

The architectural style of the City Lord Manor was very feminine. Every corner was very round, and all the wood had been specially polished. Basically, the entire City Lord Manor, including the wooden structure, or the lines, or any frame that could be seen with the naked eye, were all very round and smooth designs. Most of them were made by Ye Qiluo.

Ye Qiluo had been reading books since she was young and knew a lot about these things. Her studies were very wide and she had even dabbled in many subjects. Therefore, it was not difficult for her to complete such a design alone.

Now, Ye Qiluo was standing in a small but warm hall, waiting silently. She seemed to have received an invitation from someone and was waiting patiently.

The City Lord had just experienced such a calamity and had yet to rest when a very important guest arrived.

“City Lord Ye, you look good recently.”

Li Yuanqing silently appeared behind Ye Qiluo. Ye Qiluo was already used to this.

“Young Master Li is still so elusive. I’ve never felt Young Master Li whenever you appear behind me. If I’m not familiar with you, it’s more or less a little scary.”

“Why? Is City Lord Ye afraid?”

“If I’m afraid of Young Master Li, then I’m afraid I won’t be able to trust anyone.”

Li Yuanqing smiled and returned to the topic.

“This was my negligence. If I had understood the situation earlier, you wouldn’t have faced such danger. I wasn’t careful enough.” Li Yuanqing sighed slightly. “The generals who died in battle at the front are all heroic figures. City Lord Ye must deal with them properly. We can’t let them be disappointed.”

“Young Master Li, don’t worry. I’ve already arranged for the families of the soldiers who sacrificed themselves in the fortress ahead to receive generous rewards. If they don’t have families, they will leave their names on our monuments so that future generations will always remember their kindness.”

Li Yuanqing was quite satisfied with this arrangement. He nodded and said, “It’s naturally the best if City Lord Ye can remember them. You have contributed greatly to the fact that Sea City was able to be rebuilt in such a short period of time, and you have done a great job. It seems that it was not wrong to hand Sea City over to you.”

“Young Master Li, don’t tease me. If not for your help this time, I’m afraid we would have already become a delicious meal for the demon beasts. How could we still talk and laugh here? All of this is thanks to you. I have to say that the luckiest thing in my life was meeting you. I’m afraid without you, I would have died in Rong City.”

“City Lord Ye, don’t say that. We can be considered to have achieved something together.”

“Young Master Li, you flatter me too much.”

Ye Qiluo smiled and lowered her head. She knew that Li Yuanqing was just being polite. How could she call this praise?

“I wonder where those demon beasts came from and if they will make a comeback in the future. What should we do if they come again? I don’t think we should trouble Young Master Li every time. We should try our best to protect the entire city.”

Li Yuanqing was also quite conflicted about this. Although he did not find it troublesome, this was still a huge problem. He would leave one day. If he left the Catacombs, who would guard these humans? The problem was that the cultivation speed of the humans here was so slow. But why was there such a powerful demon here?

If they could not find the reason, the human race would probably be bullied for the rest of their lives. However, where could he find such a reason? This matter was strange enough.

Li Yuanqing sighed softly. “So far, I’ve seen many powerful demons, but it’s indeed difficult for humans to reach such a height in the Catacombs. Only by finding the reason here can we truly save the human race.”

Ye Qiluo was stunned for a moment before saying softly, “Could it be that the demons in the Catacombs world are not that powerful, or that they don’t exist here? Perhaps they came from somewhere else like…”

Ye Qiluo carefully looked up at Li Yuanqing. She seemed to know something.

Li Yuanqing coughed lightly and did not continue on this topic.

“It’s really possible. Perhaps these are all from other spaces. In that case, we only need to find these entrances and seal them all. Then, the Catacombs world might be safe.”

“No.”

Ye Qiluo suddenly reached out and grabbed Li Yuanqing. Li Yuanqing looked at Ye Qiluo in confusion.

“Young Master Li, do you know what all cultivators dream of?”

“Of course it’s to become an immortal.”

“Then if there’s no way to cultivate the Immortal Dao in the Catacombs, why didn’t they leave such a door for them to have a chance if there’s such a space that can infinitely expand the power of cultivation?”

Li Yuanqing suddenly hesitated when he heard Ye Qiluo’s words. She was right. If there was really an upper limit here in the Catacombs world and everyone here could only silently cultivate to the Spirit Transformation realm at most, then what was the point of such a world existing to them?

Perhaps those strange places existed to give them a chance. This was their good opportunity, wasn’t it?

“But you need to know that the fellows who came from those worlds are all powerful. You might be devoured as meat before you can obtain the benefits of cultivation.”

Ye Qiluo looked at Li Yuanqing firmly and said, “To cultivators, the cruelest thing is not when they will be eaten as meat. More importantly, it’s how to seek a chance to become an immortal.”

Li Yuanqing suddenly fell silent. Ye Qiluo was right. If they had to choose a hundred times, they would choose to let their strength break through instead of living an ignoble life. This kind of life was meaningless to them.

Then what should he do? This was another huge problem.

Li Yuanqing had originally thought that he had already obtained a solution. As long as he could find all the places that could destroy the stability or he found every last one of those demons, the entire Demon Realm would be stable. Even if there would still be competition between the humans and the demons, it was not a problem.

At least it wouldn’t be as ridiculous as this.

However, after Ye Qiluo finished speaking, Li Yuanqing felt that it would be very cruel if he really sealed off all those domain spaces.

“Since City Lord Ye has said so, I’ll find another way. I hope to find a perfect solution. No matter what, City Lord Ye, please be more careful. Don’t relax.”

“Thank you, Young Master Li. On behalf of those cultivators, I thank you. If you really find a way out for them, you will be the hero of the entire Catacombs!”

“Not exactly a hero…”

“At that time, I will specially erect the tallest stone tablet for Young Master Li!”
