Chapter 177 - Surrender

Chapter 177: Surrender

Qiu Muyun had a bitter expression on his face as he carefully climbed onto the platform and pulled Li Yuanqing down.

“Brother Li, now is not the time to look at the scenery. If we really fight later, it will be fatal. Let’s leave quickly.”

“It’s starting.”

“What’s starting?”

Qiu Muyun curiously followed Li Yuanqing’s finger and looked over. To his surprise, he realized that the person on the arena had already changed. The one standing in front of Ye Qiluo just now was a bull-headed demon. At this moment, it was the president of the demon race.

President Zhu stood in front of Ye Qiluo with a solemn expression.

“Where was that person just now? Why is he gone?”

“Just continue watching.”

Just as Li Yuanqing was speaking, the two people in the arena also moved.

President Zhu held a black iron heavy sword in his hand and raised it high, slashing at Ye Qiluo’s face.

However, Ye Qiluo did not dodge and let the sword strike her face.

Qiu Muyun exclaimed and hurriedly wanted to pull Li Yuanqing away. However, Li Yuanqing did not move.

“Brother Li, let’s leave quickly. It’ll be too late if we don’t leave now.”

“Too late for what?”

Li Yuanqing nodded in admiration and turned to look at him. Qiu Muyun turned to the arena and was immediately stunned.

President Zhu was no longer in the arena. Only Ye Qiluo was still standing there.

The demons present were in an uproar. They rushed over and found President Zhu, who was vomiting blood on the ground.

After seeing Ye Qiluo’s strength, the Fire Sect Elder, who had originally agreed, did not dare to be careless anymore. With a command, he summoned all the demons.

“All demons, listen up. The human race wants to steal Rong City. We must defend Rong City!”

“Defend Rong City!”

As this loud slogan spread far and wide, all the demons inside and outside the city were gathered almost instantly. They had been waiting here for a long time.

Hundreds of thousands of demons gathered in an instant, and the enemy they faced was only tens of thousands of people.

There were thousands of humans participating in the competition in the city, and most of them were powerful. The weaker humans outside were also controlled by the demons.

In other words, they could only mobilize less than ten thousand people. Many experts were also injured.

“Ye Qiluo, right? No matter how strong you are, you can’t fight against four people. Your only way out is to surrender and stay here forever!”

The Fire Sect Elder led the demons and surrounded Ye Qiluo and the others. He thought victory was in his grasp.

“What should we do? Even if Pavilion Master Ye is covered in hands, she can’t kill all these hundreds of thousands of demons.” Qiu Muyun paced around the platform anxiously. He did not know what Li Yuanqing was thinking. Was he waiting for death here?

Li Yuanqing suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance.

Qiu Muyun looked in the direction Li Yuanqing was looking. There was nothing.

“It’s starting.”

Li Yuanqing’s words were very strange, confusing Qiu Muyun. “Brother Li, are you alright?”

At the same time, Ye Qiluo suddenly raised her fair neck and let out a loud cry. A huge pressure came from outside Rong City. It was the power gathered by tens of thousands of powerful humans.

The Fire Sect Elder originally thought that he had the upper hand, but at this moment, his expression suddenly changed when he suddenly felt this powerful pressure that was constantly approaching.

“Elder! Hurry up and make a move. It’ll be too late if we don’t. They’ve already gathered people!”

“Kill!”

With the order of the Fire Sect Elder, many demon experts instantly swarmed forward. They could no longer hesitate. There was only one chance in front of them. If they hesitated any longer, they would have nothing left when the human reinforcements arrived.

At this moment, Ye Qiluo suddenly took out an ancient circular jade pendant and raised it high above her head.

This jade pendant looked ordinary, but the moment it was taken out, a vast and mighty aura instantly spread out.

She chanted a few incantations, and waves of ripples suddenly spread out from the jade pendant.

These ripples finally formed a shield that firmly protected the humans in the middle. The demons were shocked to discover that no matter how hard they tried, they could not break through this powerful shield.

Their plans were completely killed in advance by the humans. What happened next seemed to be logical. Everything went smoothly.

Outside Rong City, a huge human group charged in and killed the demons in the city.

Moreover, Ye Qiluo and the others had attacked from the inside and outside, causing many demons in Rong City to suffer heavy casualties and be utterly defeated.

Rong City could be said to be covered in blood. Such a miserable scene made people unable to help but be moved.

On the platform, Ye Qiluo slowly landed. “I didn’t expect Young Master Li to come today.”

“I’m not here to support you. I’m just here to observe and learn. Just pretend that I don’t exist,” Li Yuanqing replied with a smile.

Ye Qiluo covered her mouth and chuckled. “Young Master Li, you’re really good at joking. I’m afraid my tricks won’t catch your eye.”

“Pavilion Master Ye, you’ve hidden yourself well. I heard your subordinates calling you the Holy Maiden. I believe you’re the Holy Maiden of the human race in the catacombs. I didn’t expect that I would be the last to know after knowing you for so long.”

Ye Qiluo said apologetically, “Brother Li, I didn’t mean to hide it. I just have some difficulties.”

“I didn’t mean to press you. I was just saying. Alright, since the commotion here is over, I should go.”

“Brother Li, if you like any land, you can keep it for yourself at any time.”

“In that case, I won’t stand on ceremony. When I come again, I will prepare a list.”

“I’ll wait for your good news.”

Li Yuanqing turned to look at Qiu Muyun behind him. “Holy Maiden, please help me take care of this brother of mine. This person is more timid. Holy Maiden, don’t take offense.”

“Young Master, you must be joking.”

Li Yuanqing had just left Rong City when he suddenly received Hu Jiujiu’s message.

It turned out that Hai Changping had received the news that the City Lord of Rong City had been killed and the city was in chaos. He hurriedly ran to Hu Jiujiu to express his loyalty. In addition, Rong City had already been completely occupied by the humans. Only Sea City was left among these big cities. This made him even more flustered.

Hai Changping did not hide anything this time. He went straight to Hu Jiujiu and gave a lot of conditions. Hu Jiujiu only gave him two options according to Li Yuanqing’s instructions.

“First option, if you want to continue being the City Lord, then you need to have equality between humans and demons. If you don’t agree, then you can only choose the second option. Do you understand what I mean?”

Hai Changping looked at Hu Jiujiu bitterly. He also wanted to choose the third option, but he knew very well that there was no third option. As long as he did not listen to orders obediently, he would only die.

“City Lord Hu, if you think it’s suitable, you can make the arrangements. I’ve always been very supportive of the equality between humans and demons!”

Especially after Hai Changping heard about the tragic situation of his brothers, he did not dare to say a word and obediently agreed to everything. At least he was alive, which was much better than his dead brothers.

For a moment, the news of Rong City being destroyed quickly spread throughout the Catacombs.

The two great cities of Ping City and Rong City had been seized by the humans. In addition, the return of the Holy Maiden of the human race had strengthened the reputation of the human race in the entire Catacombs to an unprecedented level.

As a result, the internal affairs of Ping City became more and more stable. After Li Yuanqing returned, he rarely interacted with the outside world. He basically left everything to Hu Jiujiu to handle, and he chose to enter seclusion.

“Master.”

Hu Jiujiu appeared in Li Yuanqing’s domain again. However, his current domain has expanded a lot compared to before. Now, not only were there mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas in this domain, but there were also many creatures.

The last trip to Rong City was not just to watch the show. More importantly, after the humans occupied Rong City, Li Yuanqing signed in for many things, including many domain fragments.

These domain fragments were used by Li Yuanqing to expand his current domain. During this period of time, it had expanded several times.

More importantly, Li Yuanqing had found many creatures in the catacombs. Moreover, there were many creatures that only existed in the world he used to live in. These creatures made Li Yuanqing feel very close to them.

Although moving these guys into his domain could not return him to his previous world, it was still comforting.

“Why has the progress of your cultivation been much slower recently?”

Hu Jiujiu blushed slightly. Every time she was in front of Li Yuanqing, it was as if she had been seen through. She could not hide any secrets.

“Master, the trade between Sea City and Rong City has increased a lot recently. I’m busy with these things every day, so I forgot about my cultivation.”

“Although I’ve handed the heavy responsibility of Ping City to you, you have to know that the cultivation level of a cultivator is always the top priority. You can’t forget your main priority and delay your own matters.”

“Alright, Master. I’ll definitely cultivate well when I return. I won’t delay anymore.”

“Have you talked to Ye Qiluo about the land she agreed to?”

“Pavilion Master Ye is a very forthright person. She directly gave a piece of land that is more than ten thousand acres in the inner city of Rong City to Ping City for trade.”

“Was it the land I chose?”

“That’s right. It’s the place that Master discussed with Pavilion Master Ye.”

“Manage the place well there. After the cities on both sides exchange and trade, you can obtain more treasures that Ping City doesn’t have. This is a very good opportunity.”

“Master, don’t worry. I have already sent someone to reorganize and build a new building. I believe it won’t be long before that place is completed and officially put into use.”

“That’s good.”

Li Yuanqing had discovered some strange things recently. He realized that there seemed to be a new life in this domain.

This discovery surprised him. Originally, he thought that the creatures born in this domain could only be brought in from outside. However, ever since this domain expanded several times, Li Yuanqing could no longer figure out its temper.

For example, the nest of little beasts in front of him.

Their parents were originally two adult wolves. However, the child that was born had two strange bumps on its back. From the shape, it vaguely looked like two wings. This was the legendary Heavenly Wolf.

Li Yuanqing was a little unclear. He felt that it was very strange. It was like a book he had read before, a book called the Mountain Sea Scripture.

This discovery made him very excited. If the world of this domain really had the ability to recreate new life, then its future potential was too great.

Therefore, Li Yuanqing had been watching the growth of these two little fellows for the past two days. As time passed, the wings on their backs became more and more obvious, and it was not just this one.

There were also many strange changes in other places. It was unknown how these changes happened.

Li Yuanqing found it strange, but the good news was that these changes were developing in a good direction so far and had not gone out of control.

“This little guy is so strange. It’s clearly a wolf, but it has a pair of wings. It would be great if he could soar in the sky when he grows up.”

“When did Master become so concerned about these little fellows?” She looked at the expression in her master’s eyes.?“You’re treating them like your own child.” Hu Jiujiu covered her mouth and chuckled.

Li Yuanqing only smiled. He had not noticed the change in him recently.

Their voices seemed to have woken the little fellow up. The little Heavenly Wolf silently opened its eyes and looked at the two unfamiliar people in front of it.

“Don’t be afraid.”

Li Yuanqing reached out and stroked the little Heavenly Wolf’s head. The little Heavenly Wolf rubbed against it obediently.

After leaving the wolf den, the world in the domain was bright and sunny. From time to time, birds with golden wings soared through the sky. These birds were huge, and some of them were even a thousand feet long.

These rare beasts passed through the mountains and soared in the sky, freely scattering the energy in their bodies and bringing vitality to this world.

Suddenly, a thin sprout appeared under Li Yuanqing’s feet. It broke out of the ground at an extremely fast speed and a huge vine instantly formed.

The vine twisted and finally transformed into the Man-eating Vine.

The Man-eating Vine proudly displayed herself in front of Li Yuanqing. She had broken through again.

“Sister’s cultivation has improved so quickly. I’m really envious.”

Hu Jiujiu looked at the Man-eating Vine. When she was just taken in, her cultivation level was much lower than hers. But now, the Man-eating Vine was growing very quickly and was about to catch up to her.

“Sister, you have to work hard too. Otherwise, I’ll defeat you one day.”
