Cultivate, Sign In, And Be Rewarded Handsomely

Chapter 234: Tricked

Beside the Devil King, a strange red vine wrapped around his arm eagerly. The two of them seemed to be very close and kept saying something.

“Your Majesty, this underground tunnel is very hidden. Ordinary people don’t know of such a place. If we can find this place, the trouble in front of us will naturally be resolved. Your Majesty can lead your subordinates to leave the Demon Realm.”

The Blood Vine seed kept muttering non-stop by the Devil King’s ear.

The Devil King only listened silently, but no one could tell his attitude. His body was invisible, let alone feel any expression from him.

However, the Blood Vine was very confident. He kept lying there talking to himself and was not afraid of being executed on the spot.

“With Your Majesty’s current situation, if you really want to fight the humans of Ping City and Rong City to the death, you’ll most likely be doomed. Your Majesty should know this very well.”

The Blood Vine nagged for a long time before finally stopping. He had said too much. He still needed to give the Devil King some time to consider it carefully.

The Devil King had yet to figure out the pros and cons. However, the suggestion of the Blood Vine was very tempting. Their clansmen were in danger now. If they could not find a good place to go, they would probably be able to wait for death here in vain.

That would be a huge loss to them. No one wanted to sacrifice themselves again. However, he believed that something that came from nowhere did not seem to be suitable.

The appearance of this blood vine was too strange. Moreover, the aura on its body was very strange. It was half-human and half-demon. No one could figure out where it came from. Even though the Devil King was so knowledgeable, he still felt a little uneasy facing the Blood Vine in front of him, whose aura was very erratic.

What was sent here this time was only a clone of the Blood Vine. It was not his true body. However, this clone was also one of his skills. This clone was not just a spy. It was more than enough to deal with an entry-level cultivator.

This idea was quite risky. If this Devil King was unhappy and crushed his clone, he would not be able to do anything.

However, since Li Yuanqing had handed this mission to him, he had to do his best to complete it.

The Blood Vine pondered for a moment and suddenly changed the topic. He said to the Great Devil King, “It’s normal that Your Majesty doesn’t believe this idea. I’ve never been to that place. I’ve only heard others say, so it’s most likely unreliable. Then it seems that we can only return the way we came and run to the entrance of the Devil Realm to open the stone tablet again.”

The Blood Vine seemed to be very generous, but in the current situation, the Devil King had no way out.

The Heaven and Earth Stone Tablet was guarding the entrance of the Devil Realm. Even after so many years of effort, they could only open a crack and barely contact Hai Changping. He had finally escaped from the Devil Realm with Hai Changping’s strength.

However, it was impossible to open a closed stone tablet with all his might. Even if they had such a plan, they had to rely on everyone’s strength.

Now that he was locked outside alone, how could anyone hear his cries? He probably couldn’t count on the devil brothers inside. After thinking about it, he didn’t seem to have any reliable ideas.

The Devil King was silent for a long time before suddenly asking, “Who told you this? Since you’ve never been there, how reliable can you be? What if I find nothing when I get there? What should I do when there’s only an empty tunnel waiting for me?”

The Blood Vine smiled and replied, “If that’s the case, I’m afraid Your Majesty can only sigh at your bad luck.”

His words were very disappointing. If the Devil King was angered by his words, his current situation would not be good.

After the Blood Vine finished speaking, he retreated from the Devil King and carefully retreated to the side. He waited nervously, not knowing what news he would receive. What kind of decision would the Devil King make? If the Devil King was angry, he would still have to think about how to cut it early and suffer less.

At this moment, the Blood Vine sensed that there seemed to be some movement behind him. He was already prepared to throw away this seed at any time as the price for failing the mission.

“Then tell me, can you find that place?”

After thinking about it, the Devil King still chose to believe the Blood Vine. Although this fellow’s background was unknown and his words were very strange, at least he had suggested this path.

After the stone tablet was sealed, the devils in Sea City had already begun to gradually weaken.

Those who were slightly weaker would weaken at a speed visible to the naked eye. They would not be able to last long like this. If the humans attacked at this time, it would only consume more of their strength, and it would be even more difficult without any follow-up supplies.

The Blood Vine cheered to himself and turned around as if nothing had happened. He said to the Devil King, “Your Majesty, I’m doing this for your own good. Although I’ve only heard of that place, I’ve been in the catacombs for many years and have some knowledge. I believe that as long as you help, I should be able to find that cave.”

The two of them seemed to have discussed it just like that. Such a business sounded to be beneficial to both sides. The Devil King had no choice now.

Since the Blood Vine had come to offer advice, he had to seize this opportunity.

However, the Blood Vine was not smug for long before the Devil King added, “I know this is one of your clones. If you really want to serve me, I think you should let your main body come to the city and tell me personally.”

As the Devil King spoke, he had already pressed a hand on the blood vine. It looked light, but it was very accurate. If it was used casually, the blood vine would not even have the chance to remove this trace of essence soul.

“That’s easy. If Your Majesty is really interested in my proposal, I’ll be able to reach Sea City tomorrow morning.”

The Devil King seemed to have been locking all his attention on him. “If that’s the case, that’s for the best.”

“Your Majesty, you can rest assured. When I arrive, it will be the day we set off. As long as we find the entrance to the Devil’s Den and hundreds of thousands of devils enter, won’t this entire continent belong to you?”

The Devil King sneered and called one of his subordinates over. “Bring our strategist to the top guest room and settle him down. We can’t neglect him.”

“Yessir!”

This person guarded the Blood Vine and looked at him quietly.

Blood Vine was caught between a rock and a hard place, so he agreed with a laugh. “Your Majesty, I will definitely repay your kindness. I’ll leave first. Wait for my good news tomorrow.”

“I hope it’s good news.”

On the other side, in a valley a hundred miles away from Sea City.

The Blood Vine returned and circled in front of Li Yuanqing several times. His entire pace was very anxious as he looked at Li Yuanqing as if he had many things to say.

“Master, are you trying to kill me? We’ve signed a contract. If I die, your divine sense will be severely injured. It’s a very dangerous decision for you. Isn’t it better for us to give up?”

The Blood Vine was filled with regret. After signing the contract with Li Yuanqing, his life would be completely in Li Yuanqing’s hands. If his master gave the order, he would have to die obediently.

Why did he have to live such an aggrieved life when he could clearly live well? It was all his fault for being careless and falling into Li Yuanqing’s hands. He never expected this person to have so many methods.

Blood Vine has lots of regrets following Li Yuanqing. He was fine following Tarzan back then, although there was no hope and his strength would not advance by leaps and bounds, he could at least keep his life.

How could he resist those devils with his little ability? Those devils were ruthless people. They would not give a person like him any chance to react.

Initially, he wanted to send a clone over to trick the Devil King. If he couldn’t trick him, he would treat it as losing a clone. However, the Devil King was not a fool. What should he do now?

Li Yuanqing slowly opened his eyes and looked at the Blood Vine calmly. He smiled and said, “Since the Devil King has already believed you, this is a good opportunity for you. I also believe that you will definitely be able to complete the mission outstandingly.”

It was fine if he said such polite words, but he was not the one who would die.

This thought flashed across the Blood Vine’s mind, and he could not help but say to Li Yuanqing, “Master, are you really not going to consider it? This matter is really extremely dangerous. If you just watch me die like this, who will be your servant in the future?”

“What’s there to be afraid of? I’ll protect you in the dark. With your current strength, if you release a signal when you sense danger, I’ll come immediately. I believe you can still do it with this bit of crisis response time.”

Li Yuanqing’s words made the Blood Vine feel aggrieved.

“Master, do you know how strong the Great Devil King is? He’s a true fourth-grade Formation Arrangement Realm expert. If he wants to kill me, he only needs to move his fingers and I’ll die. How can you say that I have time to react?”

The valley was very quiet and there was no one around. However, there was a simple residential area beside it with a few simple tents. Back then, General Sun had locked up the people from Sea City here. After they retreated, this small valley was empty.

Li Yuanqing treated it as his temporary command center and monitored the movements of Sea City at all times. This was because this valley was between Sea City and Ping City. If the devils in Sea City wanted to attack Ping City in a desperate situation, Li Yuanqing could stop them at any time.

After Li Yuanqing replied simply, he stood up with a smile and patted the Blood Vine’s shoulder. “Don’t be so afraid. I believe in you so much. What reason do you have not to believe in yourself? I believe that you will definitely be able to complete this mission outstandingly. When this matter is over, you will be rewarded.”

Just now, Li Yuanqing was sitting there calmly, digesting the Devil Realm Codex he had just obtained. This Demon Realm Codex was not any cultivation technique book, it was an encyclopedia about the Devil Realm. The content was very rich, including how these devils cultivated and how to increase their strength. There was also the temperament of the devils and the battles between them.

Everything that concerned the survival and cultivation of these devils was recorded in detail in the Demon Realm Codex. There were also many important records. The devils were chaotic all day long and did not need to think about anything. It was really shocking that there was such a book that summarized their behavior logic.

The Blood Vine felt that his master did not care about his life at all and wanted him to die.

“Master, I think I still have a lot of things that you might not even know. It’s very worth it for you to keep me.”

The Blood Vine was still using his last chance to try and see if he could change his master’s mind.

“Those devils have no way back now. As long as we seal them in Sea City, they will slowly decline. Master, don’t you have many array formations in your hands? If we seal them with those array formations, these devils will die sooner or later.”

Li Yuanqing replied, “These devils are cruel to begin with. If they don’t see any hope and act in desperation, it will cause many injuries to the demons and humans here. At that time, it will be inevitable that lives will be lost. You have such a heavy responsibility, the lives of these people will be in your hands.”

When has the Blood Vine ever taken on such a mission? In his life, he only knew how to live well for himself. No one had ever thought of handing the lives of the common people to him.

“Master, don’t flatter me. I know my limits. I really don’t have the ability.”

Just as the Blood Vine was hesitating, Li Yuanqing suddenly took out a small black box. There were hundreds of devil crystals in the small box. These devil crystals were left behind by devils above the Spirit Transformation realm. These hundreds of devil crystals contained terrifying energy.

The Blood Vine looked at his master in confusion, not knowing what his master was planning.

“Master, no matter how many benefits you give me, I still feel that there’s no need for us to take the risk.”

Li Yuanqing did not say anything else. He flipped his hand and opened the box. Hundreds of devil crystals with thick power flew out of the box and floated in front of Li Yuanqing. He had even learned enchantment from the Devil Codex.

Not long after, the hundreds of devil crystals in Li Yuanqing’s hand disappeared. Instead, they turned into a black pill.
