Cultivate, Sign In, And Be Rewarded Handsomely

Chapter 308: Stirring

In Sea City, there was an undercurrent outside the City Lord Manor.

“I heard that the City Lord is about to die. I wonder if it’s true.”

“How many days has it been since I last saw the City Lord? I wonder how the situation is now. Perhaps it’s really as the rumors say.”

They discussed wantonly, as if they no longer cared about the rules in the city.

Most importantly, it was unknown what had happened to the City Lord during this period of time. She had not appeared for a long time. This was a little abnormal.

Logically speaking, Ye Qiluo could not stay idle for a moment. She had personally built Sea City. She had turned Sea City from a city with no rules and order to this. All of this was her hard work.

At that time, Ye Qiluo was busy on the streets every day. How could she have not appeared for such a long time? Something must have happened.

“That can’t be. The City Lord’s body has always been very sturdy. How can she die just like that?”

“I heard that it was the crusade some time ago. After that, the City Lord never appeared again. It’s said that she encountered something powerful outside. I knew it. Those demon beasts in the wilderness are all unfathomable. How can we underestimate them?”

“That’s a good thing. In any case, after those devils were chased away, everyone in Sea City can be the City Lord. Why can Ye Qiluo say that she’s the City Lord after she arrived? I think us brothers can also establish a union and become the City Lord.”

There were many people in Sea City who had these thoughts. The entire Sea City was in chaos.

Although the Man-eating Vine had forcefully suppressed many people, and everyone knew that there was such a mysterious State Preceptor and were more or less afraid, this fear could not stop the endless spectators. How could they give up such a good opportunity?

One had to know that Sea City had completely changed. Now, Sea City was an ownerless item. That was right. Why was it that only Ye Qiluo could stand as the City Lord while the others could not?

The people in Sea City had split into many gangs. These gangs were gradually growing stronger, and they relied on the current chaos to constantly absorb the messy power of the outside world.

In addition, the Man-eating Vine seemed to be busy with something recently. It had been a while since she appeared, which made them even more unrestrained.

They were discussing enthusiastically, but they did not notice a black shadow flash above their heads.

The City Lord Manor was heavily guarded.

“How is the City Lord? Is she not better?”

An official carefully asked the guard captain.

The captain of the guards glared at him coldly. “Lord Zhang, you’d better not ask questions. Do you understand?”

“Of course I understand. Captain, I’m afraid you’re thinking too much. I’m just asking casually. I definitely don’t mean anything else. I believe that the City Lord will definitely be able to survive. The heavens will naturally bless the lucky. This little trouble will definitely not stump the City Lord.”

In the empty hall, a figure suddenly flashed and three people appeared out of thin air.

The two people outside were still chatting casually, unaware that three people had already passed through their blockade and arrived inside. They did not care about the sentries they had set up outside.

“The city is getting more and more chaotic. We still need the City Lord to come out and preside over the overall situation as soon as possible.”

The hall was empty. There was no one there. Li Yuanqing appeared with the two children. He looked around and walked towards a small door at the back.

“Master, will something happen to Sister Ye?” Yang Tianqi looked up at Li Yuanqing worriedly.

Li Yuanqing patted his head and did not speak.

The three of them walked straight to the huge screen and circled around to the side. They saw a narrow door at the back.

This small door seemed to be sealed by a very hard stone slab.

Li Yuanqing ignored it and led the two of them in. In the end, the stone slab did not exist at all. It was just a restriction. Behind the door was a closed stone room. Two people were sitting in the stone room. The two of them were sitting on an array platform, their bodies glowing.

The Man-eating Vine opened her eyes in surprise and looked at Li Yuanqing.

“Master, you’re finally back.”

Li Yuanqing took a step forward and pressed a hand on Ye Qiluo’s shoulder, silently sensing the situation in her body.

“How did it become like this?”

Little Man sighed and replied, “Sister originally led the team out to destroy a group of demon beasts. Those demon beasts suddenly appeared from a new place and posed a huge threat to us.”

“Is it just a beast tide? What happened?”

“At first, everything went very smoothly. However, we didn’t expect a large number of reinforcements to suddenly appear from those demon beasts. We don’t know where those reinforcements came from, but they caused us a lot of trouble. Sister was also targeted by the two Beast Kings because she rushed to the front in a hurry.”

“Then where did the beast tide appear?”

“In a nest on the other side of the Northern River.”

“Has it never happened before?”

“There definitely wasn’t any when we first came here. They suddenly appeared. I don’t know where they came from. Now, there are still endless demon beasts coming out from that direction and attacking here. We also have to split our troops to defend it, so the defense inside is very weak. The situation in the city is getting worse.”

Little Man was very depressed. Originally, the situation in the city could be controlled, but because the situation outside was too complicated, they had to spend more effort to resist that group of powerful wild beasts, so it ended up like this.

If they were left alone, with the strength of these demon beasts, they would probably be able to pose a huge threat to the entire Sea City in a short period of time. It might even be a destructive blow.

Li Yuanqing had been observing the nearby area recently and realized that many strange things had indeed happened here. For example, the place where he saved his two disciples. That mystic realm had suddenly appeared too.

It was unknown where these things came from, but every mystic realm contained very powerful demon beasts. This matter was very strange.

No wonder the natural environment here was so weak. On one hand, Ye Qiluo was seriously injured and was still unconscious. She had woken up for a period of time, but the poison in her body could not be expelled for a long time and had become like this. She could only barely keep her life. Who knew what would happen in the end?

There were still powerful enemies eyeing them covetously outside. They could launch a violent attack at any time. Under such circumstances, it was indeed very difficult to maintain the security here.

“It’s fine, Sister Little Man. Now that Master is back, everything will be resolved.” Yang Tianqi suddenly jumped to Little Man’s side and said proudly.

Little Man hugged Yang Tianqi’s head in her arms and said guiltily, “It’s all my fault. I didn’t have the ability to protect you and let you be in such danger.”

“What’s wrong with that? We’ll definitely protect ourselves. Sister, you’re the one who’s thinking too much.”

Li Yuanqing gently stroked Little Man’s body to chase away the unbearable smell of skin in her body and slowly sat behind Ye Qiluo.

The poison in Ye Qiluo’s body was a very violent biological poison.

From the structure of this poison, it seemed to be the energy in the body of some kind of pet. This power was very domineering. Although the poison might not be that strong, the key was that it could replicate itself.

It could constantly corrode a person’s spiritual energy and transform it into its own power. This ability allowed it to constantly accumulate in a person’s body and become stronger and stronger, causing the infected to be unable to completely expel it.

While Li Yuanqing was investigating, the poison was still spreading to the side. They were like a group of greedy devils, crazily seeking the power they desired.

Ye Qiluo’s cultivation level was already considered outstanding among the humans. However, after being infected by this powerful poison, the energy in her body could only run for her life. Even her body was gradually slimming down and she was about to collapse. If not for Li Yuanqing’s timely return, it was hard to say what would have happened.

Ye Qiluo seemed to have sensed Li Yuanqing. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at him.

“Young Master Li, I…”

“Don’t speak. You’re seriously injured now. Rest for a while.”

Ye Qiluo suddenly held Li Yuanqing’s hand and said anxiously, “Young Master Li, it’s dangerous. There’s danger in the north.”

“Don’t worry. I already know. I’ll deal with the beast tide. You should sleep first.”

Li Yuanqing slowly placed his hand on Ye Qiluo’s shoulder. Ye Qiluo felt a warmth on her back. Then, her eyelids became heavier and heavier. Finally, she couldn’t take it anymore. She slowly closed her eyes and fell into Li Yuanqing’s arms.

Li Yuanqing flipped his hand and a medium-sized square platform appeared in his hand.

This square platform’s entire body emitted a pitch-black energy. This energy was very strong, as if it had some kind of attraction. Everyone’s attention was on it.

“Congratulations, Master. You’ve obtained another treasure.”

“The city is discussing the situation in the City Lord Manor. Go out and settle the matters outside now. Leave this to me.”

“As you say, Master.”

Little Man finally heaved a sigh of relief. Although she could barely help Ye Qiluo keep her life, she could not expel the poison from her body. But it was different now that her master was back. With her master’s strength, he would definitely be able to save Sister Ye. Those toxins were not a big deal to her master.

Of course, this was the truth. Li Yuanqing shook the devil crystal platform in his hand and it landed on Ye Qiluo’s body.

The moment the devil crystal platform appeared, he could clearly feel the chaotic poison in Ye Qiluo’s body suddenly become very careful, as if it had sensed some natural enemy. They hid silently, wanting to completely hide their bodies. However, their existence was exposed under the light of the devil crystal platform.

The devil crystal platform seemed to be pulling out wisps of poison from Ye Qiluo’s body. The black threads were like some mysterious conduit between Ye Qiluo and the devil crystal platform.

Not long after, Ye Qiluo suddenly opened her eyes again. Her face had become much rosier. Just now, her face was pale and looked very scary. Now, she seems to have come back to life.

She looked around in confusion, not knowing what had just happened. She only remembered that her soul had already drifted away, as if she had completely become a dead person. However, she did not know how she had come back to life.

“Young Master Li, am I already dead?”

She silently opened her watery eyes and looked at Li Yuanqing’s handsome face. As if afraid that all of this would dissipate like a dream, Ye Qiluo hurriedly grabbed Li Yuanqing’s arm and stopped him from speaking.

“Young Master Li, don’t speak! I know, I must have died. I didn’t expect that I would not see you till the end. Do you know? In the last second of my life, your face still flashed before my eyes.”

The two little fellows stood at the side in a daze, feeling uneasy. The two of them wanted to quickly find a place to hide. They did not expect their master to have such a relationship with Sister Ye.

Ye Qiluo did not notice the two third wheels at all. She continued, “I know I might be a little selfish, but I still hope that I can be with you forever. Even if there’s no outcome, even if it might be wrong from the beginning, even if you don’t like me at all…”

Just as Ye Qiluo was talking enthusiastically, Li Yuanqing suddenly coughed and reminded her, “City Lord Ye, the poison in your body has almost been removed. I just fed you some pills. It won’t be long before the meridians in your body slowly recover. Don’t worry, you’ll be fine.”

Ye Qiluo was suddenly stunned. Her thoughts were so clear now. She turned to look at the two little fellows who were covering their mouths and snickering. How could she not know what had happened?

The City Lord’s face was red as she hurriedly struggled out of Li Yuanqing’s arms and sat at the side to recover.
