Cultivate, Sign In, And Be Rewarded Handsomely

Chapter 188: Choice

When Ye Qiluo and Li Yuanqing arrived at Rong City, they saw flames everywhere outside. Most of the defense on the city wall was broken.

Countless demons rushed towards Rong City from the wilderness. Their eyes shone with greed, as if there was some huge treasure buried in Rong City waiting for them to dig up.

The passing demons did not notice that two humans had appeared beside them and were rushing towards Rong City with them.

Ye Qiluo’s face darkened and she looked nervous. If all the defense lines of Rong City were broken, it would be almost impossible for the two of them to snatch Rong City from the demons. She did not expect so many things to happen while she was away. Rong City was already a pile of ashes. It would probably not be of much use even if she rushed back as the City Lord.

Ye Qiluo’s greatest worry happened.

“Young Master Li.” Ye Qiluo suddenly called out to Li Yuanqing. The two of them hung outside the city and looked at the thick black city walls of Rong City from afar.

“They won’t last long. We have to get there now.”

“Young Master Li, I called you over to help Rong City tide over the crisis. However, I’m afraid Rong City has already fallen in this situation. If the two of us go again, I’m afraid we’ll implicate you.”

Ye Qiluo gritted her teeth and watched as Rong City was completely attacked by the demons. The strength of the remaining humans in Rong City was not enough to defend against such a large-scale demon tide.

The two of them were considered top-notch combatants among the humans. If the two of them retreated to Ping City now, they could still develop the human race again. If she brought Li Yuanqing to die, Ping City would probably not be able to escape calamity.

Although it was very painful to make such a decision, Ye Qiluo had been taught by her parents since she was young that she had to be decisive. No matter when, she had to be calm to lead her clansmen.

“City Lord Ye, do you mean to give up Rong City?”

Li Yuanqing looked at Ye Qiluo quietly. If Ye Qiluo decided to give up Rong City, he would give her up without hesitation. He would not even let Ye Qiluo step into Ping City again, even if her clansmen were inside.

Ye Qiluo hesitated again and again, as if there was no way out. She slowly closed her eyes. When she opened them again, there was a hint of determination in her expression.

“Although I’m the Saintess of the human race, I don’t have the face to live on after leading my race to such a state. I’ll leave the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the human race to you, Young Master Li. I’ll see you again if fate allows it.”

As Ye Qiluo spoke, she rushed towards Rong City alone. She had already lost all her wealth. She had poured her entire life’s effort into Rong City and established order, thinking that she could revive the human race.

However, all of this was in vain now. Fortunately, there was still someone like Li Yuanqing. The human race would not completely lose hope.

Ye Qiluo was extremely fast. In a short while, she approached the city wall of Rong City.

The little demons watched as such a beautiful woman ran over and they surrounded her in groups, blocking Ye Qiluo’s path.

“What a beautiful human girl. Let me play with her.”

“Idiot, you don’t even know her. This is the famous City Lord Ye. Hurry up and kneel down and kowtow.”

Someone among the demons recognized Ye Qiluo. They had been bullied in Rong City and had disliked Ye Qiluo for a long time. Now that Ye Qiluo had bumped into them, how could they let her leave just like that?

They surrounded her with evil smiles, but they kept a distance warily, waiting for their brothers to make the first move before they went up to help. No one was willing to make the first move against such a powerful opponent. That would be courting death.

Ye Qiluo’s expression was cold as she took out a green sword. The moment the sword left her body, it emitted a buzzing sound, as if the wind was humming.

“All of you, die!”

When the little demons heard Ye Qiluo’s words, they could not help but raise their heads and laugh.

“City Lord Ye, your words are really laughable. Your City Lord Manor is about to be taken down by Boss. After the City Lord Manor is taken down, your human race will have nothing to rely on. At that time, won’t you be at the mercy of others?”

“The City Lord Manor is still here.”

Ye Qiluo felt a little more confident. The City Lord Manor was where they had set up the most defensive arrays. They had placed all the savings of the human race there. The experts of the human race were also gathered here. As long as they could still defend, she, as the City Lord, had no reason to give up.

Ye Qiluo swung her sword, and a biting wind suddenly blew past, blowing the two demons in front of her away.

The two demons were sent flying by the hurricane. When they landed, their bodies were riddled with wounds. Blood kept gushing out of these wounds and landed on the ground with a sizzling sound.

The little demons originally planned to tease Ye Qiluo, but when they saw how vicious Ye Qiluo was, they did not dare to be negligent anymore. All of them stared at Ye Qiluo warily, afraid that she would injure them again.

“City Lord, I think you should submit to us. We’re all gentlemen in the mouth of your human race. We’re all polite young masters. Isn’t it good if you’re with us?”

“Hahaha, that’s right. We’re all polite young masters.”

As the little demons spoke, sticky saliva kept flowing out of their scarlet mouths. One could smell the stench from afar. It was really disgusting.

“Cut the crap!”

Ye Qiluo did not have time to waste on these little demons. She gathered a huge amount of power on the Jadewave Sword in her hand.

Just now, it was a violent wind. At this moment, it was like a violent wind sweeping the surface of the sea. A huge sticky power slowly condensed and swept towards the surroundings.

All the demons gathered here felt this power wrap around them, slowing them down. They were originally prepared to escape quickly, but they did not expect that Ye Qiluo would have already made a move and firmly stuck them. They could only watch as the huge wave surged into the sky.

These waves were not waves. There seemed to be hundreds of thousands of small green arrows gathered inside. They gathered and wrapped around each other, constantly entangled.

“No!”

The little demons watched as the wave swept towards their faces, but they could not run. They could only feel a chill on their backs in horror. When they completely lost consciousness, there was only a bloody mist in the air that exploded.

From the outside, all the demons exploded wherever the waves passed. These poor little demons only had time to let out a scream before they turned into blood that filled the sky, no longer as majestic as before.

The strongest of these demons were at the third-stage Spirit Transformation realm, but these little demons were like dolls in front of Ye Qiluo. They could not fight back at all. Even the third-grade Spirit Transformation cultivator was the same. In an instant, he turned into blood that filled the sky and stopped breathing.

After dealing with these little demons, Ye Qiluo took out a small bottle from her bosom and poured out a Divine Origin Pill from it. She raised her head and swallowed it.

In order to quickly kill all these guys just now, she mobilized all her spiritual power. For a moment, her body was a little empty. Now that it was replenished, her expression became much better.

Ye Qiluo looked back again. If she was alone, how could she save them? How could the humans in the city deal with the demons? She still yearned for Li Yuanqing to stay and help her deal with the demons, but there was no one behind her. Li Yuanqing had already left.

Ye Qiluo shook her head and threw away the unrealistic fantasies in her heart. Now, the fate of saving her own race had completely fallen on her, the Saintess of the human race. She had to shoulder such a responsibility to not let down everyone’s expectations of her.

“For the glory of the human race.” Ye Qiluo muttered to herself and turned into a green light that rushed into Rong City.

A rain of blood swept out violently.

Two huge beasts were in a stalemate outside the City Lord Manor.

“Tarzan, I got here first. Logically speaking, this place is mine. I said that I would give the outer city to you. Why are you so persistent? Do you have to break the rules?”

One of the two huge beasts was a huge human ape that was thousands of feet tall. This fellow was covered in pitch-black fur and its eyes were as big as black holes. Moreover, they seemed to be shining with a faint light, making people feel afraid.

The other was a python with wings. This python flew in the sky and spread its huge wings, covering the sky and sun.

These two fellows were the two lords who had their eyes on Rong City. The two of them were powerful and their strength was very outstanding. Originally, Rong City’s order could not accommodate them.

However, too many things had happened in Rong City recently. The Black Dragon envoys were slaughtered last time, and now the City Lord had been easily replaced, it gave them a chance.

The two of them had already arrived at the City Lord Manor, but they were not in a hurry to attack. Instead, they looked at each other from afar. Their subordinates stood in half of the city and began to slaughter the humans below. Those who did not have the time to escape were almost killed.

Most of the humans had fled to the City Lord Manor and gathered together to guard the last line of defense. There were also some humans who had long received news and left early. They were lucky to be in the wilderness and not be slaughtered by the demons. They were lucky to be alive. The most unlucky thing was that those who were in the middle did not have the time to escape and were killed by the demons.

The two lords saw that victory was in sight. Not only did they not have the intention to join forces, but they were also in a stalemate. It seemed like they had to fight to the death here. They had to choose who would be the head of this city before they could enter the City Lord Manor.

The huge ape’s name was Tarzan, and this flying snake relied on its black dragon bloodline to call itself Long Tianzun.

“Long Tianzun, I told you long ago that this place is mine. Although I came a little late, I’m determined to obtain this place. I won’t let a despicable person like you take advantage of me.”

The snake glared at the human ape unhappily.

However, Long Tianzun could not do anything to Tarzan. Although their strength was similar, there was a certain level of restraint in their bloodlines. Tarzan’s skin was thick, and even Long Tianzun’s attacks could not easily break through his defense.

Therefore, although the number of people from Tarzan’s side was small, both sides could persevere, making Long Tianzun very anxious.

If this continued, this smelly monkey would really succeed. He snorted and said to Tarzan, “Only our dragon bloodline has the right to occupy Rong City. Aren’t you afraid of dying here, you stinky monkey?”

Tarzan laughed tirelessly. “If you had said this hundreds of years ago, you would have been able to scare me. At this time, a few of your Black Dragon Envoys have already been killed. Who can stand up for you? Besides, what use are these words other than to identify your race?”

Long Tianzun could not hold it in anymore. The move he had just thought of was easily resolved by the smelly monkey. He could not think of any other way for the time being. His brothers below also began to waver.

If this continued, the half of the city that they had painstakingly taken down would really belong to this smelly monkey.

Long Tianzun did not want to compromise just like that. He hesitated and did not speak.

Instead, Tarzan, who was opposite him, suggested, “Actually, I’ve thought about it carefully. These humans have always said that we demons are simple-minded and not good at unity. Perhaps this is the reason why two of our cities were taken down by the humans.”

Tarzan suddenly let out a breath. Long Tianzun was secretly delighted, but he did not show it. His face was as calm as ever.

“Stupid monkey, what are you trying to say?”

Tai Shan pointed at the land behind Long Tianzun and said to him, “How about this? I’ll give you some face and not take everything. That side of the City Lord Manor is your territory. The City Lord Manor and the place here are my territory. Are you satisfied now?”

Long Tianzun originally thought that the two of them would split it fifty-fifty. He did not expect this stinky monkey to still have something else.

“Oh, you stinky monkey. You’re really smart. These humans have hidden all their treasures in the City Lord Manor. Only those things are the most precious. Why would I want this piece of land outside?”

Tarzan snorted coldly and looked at him. “Big Worm, do you still have a place to bargain now? If you want to live, then accept this arrangement obediently. I won’t say anything else. I’ve given you a way out.”
