Chapter 342: Bad Intentions

Translator:Henyee TranslationsEditor:Henyee Translations

Let go, let go.

This was the scene when Zhao Tai'an and Zhao Tianji met.

The people at the side watched with their mouths agape. They could not believe that this brat in front of them actually dared to attack their boss.

Shopkeeper

Time seemed to have stopped.

Zhao Tianji stared blankly at Zhao Tai'an, who he was pressing down on his hand. He hurriedly let go and pretended that nothing had happened.

Hello, Shopkeeper Zhao.

Zhao Tai'an rubbed his shoulders and turned around to size up Zhao Tianji.

What was so good about this kid? Since Young Master valued him so much, he could take this opportunity to test him out to prevent Young Master from falling for it.

Come with me.

In the domain space, Li Yuanqing looked at the entangled cocoon in front of him with all his attention.

Was it good or bad that the Blood Vine had become like this?

Recently, Li Yuanqing had been receiving more and more signals from those seeds. The seeds that had fallen silent had also become more and more active, as if the Blood Vine was about to wake up.

Moreover, after the Blood Vine absorbed a large amount of energy, he transformed into such a cocoon.

In the past two days, this thing had been jumping even more fiercely. He could vaguely feel that there was energy inside, as if it was about to rush out. Li Yuanqing was not sure what would jump out.

That blood vine seemed to be a figure from a long time ago. Was it good or bad to release a figure from the ancient times again? What kind of impact would it have?

After neutralizing the Black Dragon's waves of attacks, the stability of the entire Catacombs world was guaranteed.

The Black Dragon would probably not launch another attack in the short term. Moreover, these few waves had consumed a lot of the Black Dragon's energy. Now that Li Yuanqing was powerful, he was not afraid that he would make a comeback.

Li Yuanqing could not say anything about letting an old antique out at this time. However, there was one thing he knew. And that was he had to go back after building this catacomb world.

However, Li Yuanqing had checked. The passageway that once led to the human world had been closed by the Black Dragon. Now, the passageway was tightly shut and there was nothing here. At least, Li Yuanqing had yet to find a way to leave.

Master.

Hu Jiujiu stood carefully behind Li Yuanqing.

How's it going?

I've already sent someone to control Black Stone Mountain. We've discovered many demon territories nearby and have already cleared them out. What does Master plan to do with that place?

How are the demons in the wilderness now? Are there any large-scale movements?

Most of the demons in the wilderness are already under our control. Many of them turned to us after seeing that the situation was not right. At present, they don't seem to be much of a threat. As long as we can manage them well, I believe we can control them very well.

Okay.

Most of the demons living in the wilderness appeared in groups. Although there were many of them, most of them had to follow a leader.

Now that the dust had settled and the three cities were all in the hands of the humans, many demon generals knew that it was very difficult for them to turn the tables. They had already expressed their goodwill to the various cities.

Many of them had offered many treasures or signed contracts. They had entrusted the fate of their entire race to these humans. This was something they would not have dared to think about in the past.

In the traditional concept, this Catacombs world was the chosen place of the demons. However, at this point, this chosen place had become the natural territory of the humans. And they were helpless against it.

Master, about building the academy.

You should decide on the design. It's fine as long as it fits the general concept, Li Yuanqing instructed. I think Ping City can't have only one City Lord. Can we choose a new City Lord to try? You can't bear all the responsibility.

Hu Jiujiu's originally dim eyes suddenly lit up. She looked up at Li Yuanqing. Master, what do you mean?

Li Yuanqing nodded. We can't stay here forever. I think this matter will be settled one day. At that time, it will naturally be time for us to leave. Perhaps we can entrust the rest to him now and save a lot of trouble.

Master, you're right. I'll immediately start looking for a new City Lord after I return. Actually, I can see a few people, but they still need some investigation.

Li Yuanqing was observing when a huge human face suddenly appeared in front of him.

This scene was so sudden that Li Yuanqing was caught off guard. This face was not a normal human face. Half of it had the appearance of a living person, but the other half of the face seemed to be covered by a layer of wood, looking extremely strange.

That's you, kid?

This person seemed to be studying Li Yuanqing carefully through that scene, causing Li Yuanqing to subconsciously take a step back.

That's right. This aura can't be wrong.

He was talking to himself. His face seemed to be twisting muscles, as if he was making some expression, but he didn't seem to be doing anything.

Li Yuanqing looked at this face that had clearly not changed at all. He had a feeling that this fellow's expression was very rich. This strange feeling made him feel very uneasy.

Don't be afraid, kid. I'm here for you.

This time, he made a real expression. It was a smile. It looked like a smile, but this smile was very twisted. The half of his face that still had a face was normal. Although his skin was very dry and he was crying, his entire face was filled with wrinkles when he smiled. Compared to the wooden half of his face, this smile was much more normal.

For some reason, in order to make his wooden face more realistic and make the same smile appear on his wooden face, all the wooden pieces had to move.

Even from afar, Li Yuanqing could feel the crackling sound on the other end of the image when this fellow was smiling.

Black Dragon is right. The spiritual energy in this place is so thin. I didn't expect a human kid like you to be born. This wooden-faced man kept talking. Black Dragon said that you're not from this place. Don't be anxious. I'll look for you immediately. Or you can come and find me. I'll wait for you here. I believe you won't disappoint me, right? If you don't come, I'll take the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.

After saying this, he suddenly threw the blood vine seed in his hand high into the air. The entire Rong City was now stacked with wooden passageways.

In the wooden passageway stood people in the shape of zombies. These people seemed to be alive and dead at the same time. They stood there in confusion and did not move, like dolls at the mercy of others.

Looking down from the sky, it seemed like the entire Rong City was a huge toy factory. In the passageway below were display cabinets with many samples.

If this was a toy, the scene would definitely be very spectacular. However, these were hundreds of thousands of living lives. They had actually become like this.

What do you want to do?

Li Yuanqing silently looked at the miserable scene in the image and muttered to himself.

The wooden-faced man seemed to be able to hear Li Yuanqing. He flew up from below and arrived in front of the blood vine seed. He reached out and caught the seed that was about to fall.

Kid, I'll wait for you here. I'm sure you won't let me wait long, right? Hahaha!

With an extremely strange laugh, the wooden-faced man crushed the blood vine seed in his hand, and the scene disappeared.

What happened, Master?

Hu Jiujiu had been watching for a long time, but Li Yuanqing did not move at all. It was as if he had been possessed. She had been guarding at the side worriedly.

I need to leave for a while.

Leave?

Little Man is back now. You have to cooperate with her and strengthen the entire city defense by two times. No matter what happens, don't go out on your own and guard Ping City.

Master, what happened?

It's Rong City. I need to go to Rong City.

Do you want me to go with you? I can help.

Stay here.

Li Yuanqing did not expect this to happen just when he thought the dust had settled.

Who was this person? Why had he come? He did not seem to have good intentions, and he could feel a very strong threat from him.

Although he did not meet him directly, Li Yuanqing could feel it.

In Rong City, the huge City Lord Manor was empty and very quiet.

A burly figure floated lightly down the aisle. It was as if he did not have feet. He floated into the air and slowly moved forward.

This person slowly stopped in the middle of the meeting hall. He looked up and half of his face was covered by the bamboo hat. His face was turned towards his original seat, the City Lord throne that symbolizes power.

Now, this throne had already belonged to someone else, and he had become someone else's slave.

The wooden-faced man lowered his head and looked at the general.

How are the preparations going?

Master, all the array formations are ready. When you need them, they will immediately detonate.

What about the cage outside?

It's been built.

Okay.

The wooden-faced man let out a strange laugh. He looked up at the intricate patterns carved into the dome and felt even more amused.

The general standing below suddenly trembled violently a few times. His body seemed to be very unfamiliar, as if it did not belong to him. Because he was trembling too much and his head was raised too high, his cloak fell.

The face under the cloak was identical to the face sitting on the City Lord's throne. Only half of their faces were left, and the other half was covered by wooden skin.

Master.

The wooden-faced man was in a good mood just now and replied. What is it?

Didn't you say that you would

The wooden-faced man said impatiently, How many times do you want me to explain it to you before you understand? I've already promised that your clansmen will survive. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do.

Master, that's not what I meant, the general said hurriedly. He was not familiar with his body to begin with, and he could not speak properly in a hurry. I mean, the power of this explosion is so strong. Shouldn't we move people to a safe place in advance? If it spreads, not only will that kid be killed, but everyone here

Alright, I've already heard your nonsense!

When the wooden-faced man flared up, the Great General immediately did not even dare to breathe.

The wooden-faced man thought for a moment and finally decided to calm him down.

I said that I've already made it very clear to you. This deal between the two of us is a win-win deal. You can obtain a huge amount of power. If I take that kid away, this place will be yours from now on. Why are you still so anxious? Instead, you're so submissive. It's completely unlike you.

I won't dare to forget your kindness to me, the general immediately replied with a bow. It's just that I've also promised my clansmen to protect them.

Alright, alright. I know your concerns. You're doing your best. Your clansmen will definitely be very happy to know that you're thinking so much for them. At that time, I'll take good care of them. No matter what happens, I won't let them be blown up.

Thank you, Master.

The Great General knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.

Thank you for your kindness, Master!

Alright, you can leave. I believe that kid will be here soon. At that time, you have to be smart and not miss the best opportunity. You should know what will happen if you delay anything, right?

Master, don't worry. I will definitely raise my spirits and turn this Li Yuanqing into a corpse!

That's good. The power in your body is given to you by me.

I've always remembered it.

Good. You can leave now. I don't want to see you again.

Yes, sir.

By the way, how are you taking care of the singers I chose yesterday? Bring them up now.

They're all ready. I'll bring them to you immediately.

The general slowly retreated. Not long later, on the corridor outside the door, a row of women in green silk walked leisurely into the hall.

They had gentle bodies and were all very pretty. However, their eyes were so empty.
