Chapter 180: Overconfident
“Is this the place?”
“That’s right, Master. They’ve all gathered here.”
Li Yuanqing landed on a watchtower with the Man-eating Vine.
This watchtower was at the corner of a city. These people were powerful and had their own fortresses in Sea City. As far as the eye could see, the inner city of Sea City was basically formed by independent areas. These powerful demons had gathered a large number of people and occupied a region. Even Hai Changping could not do anything to them usually.
The building they built was extremely imposing. One could not see the top even if they stood outside and looked up. There should have been two guards guarding every building, but the guards had disappeared.
Li Yuanqing simply sized up the structure inside. The demons built the interiors of the building very rashly. Although the tall city wall looked quite imposing from the outside, one could only tell how crude their methods were if they could really see the inside.
First of all, the paths in this huge courtyard were very complicated and messy. Moreover, most of these buildings were casual and did not have a uniform style.
Li Yuanqing was used to this scene. Most of these demons were like this, so it was not strange.
At this moment, his gaze landed on the center area surrounded by the tall city walls. There was a pitch-black pavilion there. From the outside, one could feel the huge aura faintly emitted from inside. It was a good opportunity for him since these demons had gathered together.
Li Yuanqing had been worried for the past two days. He seemed to have been too ruthless a few days ago, causing the members of the gang to not come and die anymore. He had obtained a lot of benefits from them. Although these demons were rash and simple-minded, they could always hide surprises.
Now that a large number of experts from the demon race had gathered here, it could be said to be a rare opportunity.
“Master, are you really going to do this? Isn’t this too dangerous? There are at least dozens of them.”
“Don’t worry, they’re not a threat.”
As he spoke, Li Yuanqing had already jumped down from the building and headed for the attic in the center without anyone knowing.
In the meeting of the demons of Sea City, everyone had different opinions.
“Since no one can convince anyone, invite Patriarch Zhang out.”
“We’re having a meeting here. Why isn’t the Alliance Master coming out?”
“Why hasn’t the Alliance Master appeared at this time? Could it be that the Alliance Master isn’t coming today? Then why did he call us here?”
Everyone had been squeezing here for so long that they were already complaining. After a few people took the lead, they all joined in. For a moment, the entire hall was lively. They all stood up and pretended to leave.
At that moment, heavy footsteps sounded. From a side door in the hall, a burly man in a cloak slowly walked out.
The moment this man appeared, the temperature in the entire space seemed to have dropped greatly. No one dared to say anything else.
The scene was instantly silent. Everyone fell silent. The few people who had started it did not dare to say anything else. So many people looked at the man obediently, as if they were waiting for him to speak.
The man was not in a hurry. He walked in slowly step by step until he reached a high platform in the hall. He raised his head and swept his sharp eyes across everyone’s faces. Wherever his gaze reached, they avoided him.
“What is it? Why are you so noisy?”
This person was the current Alliance Master of the Sea City Demon Alliance, Zhang Tianwen. He was extremely powerful and represented the entire Zhang family. Moreover, he was in his prime.
Vice Alliance Master, Mo Fengzhu, hurriedly rushed over. “Alliance Master, it’s about a human.”
“A human?”
“That’s right.”
“A mere human can scare you to this extent and make you panic?”
His words shamed everyone. The demons present widened their eyes and looked at each other.
“Lord Alliance Master, it’s not entirely because of him. It’s mainly because this kid is too arrogant. Moreover, the reason why he’s so arrogant is because he has Ping City and Rong City behind him. Now that those two cities have fallen, I think it’ll be our turn sooner or later.”
Zhang Tianwen’s face seemed to be covered in a layer of gloom. “We can’t interfere with the matters of those two cities now, but you guys can’t ignore the internal affairs of Sea City, right?”
“As long as you give the order, it won’t matter if we deal with this kid sooner or later.”
Zhang Tianwen snorted coldly and left. “I don’t have to teach you how to do things.”
After Zhang Tianwen left, the meeting came to an abrupt end, although there was no conclusion. Many demons left the arena noisily.
“I told you long ago. Just use more people and deal with that kid. I’m annoyed by these humans in Sea City.”
“You’re just all talk. I didn’t see you take action.”
“What do you mean you didn’t see me take action? That place is your Li family’s territory. How could you wait for me to make a move? You might as well give me your territory!”
“I knew you didn’t have good intentions. You’re indeed exposed now. No one knows what you’re thinking, right?”
They cursed as they left the magnificent meeting hall. However, in a corner that they did not notice, two figures were hidden.
After everyone left, the hall became empty. When most of the people had left, the Vice Alliance Master followed the Alliance Master.
The Man-eating Vine slowly appeared.
“Master, why didn’t you attack just now? There are so many people. If you attack, you can easily injure them.”
Li Yuanqing lowered his voice. “These people are not important. I’ve discovered something more important.”
The Man-eating Vine stretched out her crystalline nose and sniffed. “Is there something hidden under here?”
“Let’s go.”
As Li Yuanqing spoke, the two of them slowly disappeared from the spot. A wind seemed to blow in the air and slowly spread throughout the castle.
Mo Fengzhu finally caught up. Zhang Tianwen stood in front of a stone door and stopped.
“Alliance Master.”
“What’s wrong? Is there anything else?”
Zhang Tianwen did not enter directly. Instead, he stopped here.
Mo Fengzhu looked over carefully and said worriedly, “I feel that this matter is not simple. According to what I know, that human brat seems to be a little strange. Those brothers who went to look for him first didn’t return.”
“What’s his strength?”
“According to the information we received earlier, he seems to be at the third or fourth stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. However, it seems that he’s hiding some secret. I feel that it’s a little strange.”
“It doesn’t matter. I’ll find out.”
“Thank you, Alliance Master.”
“If there are any more meetings like this, I don’t want to see them in a mess. Do you understand me?”
“It’s all my fault. I didn’t do my job well…”
“Forget it, go ahead.”
With that, he turned around and walked towards the stone door. The stone door opened by itself and it closed slowly after he entered.
Just as Mo Fengzhu turned around, he suddenly looked at the gap in the stone door behind him in confusion. Just now, when the door was closed, he felt like there was a gust of wind, and two shadows swept past.
Mo Fengzhu shook his head in confusion. He didn’t see clearly just now. It should be fine. The Alliance Master was in front. If someone followed in, the Alliance Master would definitely notice.
Li Yuanqing happened to enter when the door slowly closed behind him.
This was a very hidden cave. The long passageway extended to nowhere. There was a fire burning inside, illuminating the dark passageway.
A figure flashed in front of him. Zhang Tianwen had already walked far away and seemed to have turned a corner.
Li Yuanqing slowly followed with the Man-eating Vine. The Man-eating Vine had already transformed into her true form. The vines slowly fused into the ground and finally seeped in until they disappeared. There was only a shadow left on the ground. It swam slowly and followed Li Yuanqing’s footsteps to explore forward. These vines kept extending forward like Li Yuanqing’s tentacles, sensing the situation ahead.
After Li Yuanqing turned a corner, he saw a staircase. He walked down the stairs and arrived at an underground palace.
The reason why it was called the underground palace was because this place was too spacious and was built very tall. It was so tall that it had to be supported by dozens of thick pillars.
Where the lights in front of the palace shone, figures flashed past.
Li Yuanqing followed behind without anyone knowing. It was as if there was no sound as he gradually followed.
Zhang Tianwen was walking when he suddenly felt something strange. He suddenly reached out and grabbed the ground. His hand transformed into a sharp claw that scratched a few meters deep into the ground. But there was nothing below.
Zhang Tianwen had clearly sensed a strange aura just now. He sensed left and right, but there was nothing.
At this moment, he had already arrived in front of a strange building. The building was square and seemed to be built to deliberately protect something.
“That’s strange.”
Zhang Tianwen raised his hand and placed it on a light screen in front of him. The light screen disappeared and he strode into the house. It looked ordinary on the outside, but it was a different world inside.
There was a very strange altar in this small house, and in the center of the altar was a round black hole. It was unknown where it led.
Zhang Tianwan walked to the entrance of the cave and slowly knelt down.
“Holy Cavern, I want to find the whereabouts of that human.”
Zhang Tianwen muttered something. After that, he raised his wrist and squeezed a drop of blood essence from his fingertip and dropped it into the black hole. After a moment, the ceiling of the entire house suddenly lit up. This bustling light was very dazzling. If one looked carefully, it was clearly a map of Sea City.
Zhang Tianwen kept searching on the map, looking for something. At that moment, his eyes suddenly widened as he looked at the map in disbelief.
“What?”
There was a very large light spot flickering on the map, and the location of the light spot was his castle.
Zhang Tianwen suddenly stood up, but the moment he stood up, a very violent energy suddenly attacked him from behind.
Zhang Tianwen was strong enough. He reacted almost instantly and suddenly dodged to the side.
A handsome young master had actually appeared here. Zhang Tianwen looked at Li Yuanqing in shock.
“Who are you? Why are you here?”
Zhang Tianwen was filled with doubts. He did not know how Li Yuanqing had appeared here. His sacred cave was a top-secret place, but Li Yuanqing was standing here openly.
Li Yuanqing looked at him expressionlessly. “It looks like you’re hiding a lot of things.”
Zhang Tianwen wanted to sense Li Yuanqing’s strength carefully, but he felt that the person standing in front of him was like the cave under his feet, pitch-black.
“Kid, who are you?”
“There’s no point in you knowing.”
As Li Yuanqing spoke, a huge black sword suddenly rose behind him. This huge sword carried unparalleled power as it soared high in the air.
Zhang Tianwen gritted his teeth and threw a round shield high up. However, his shield could not withstand the power of this huge sword for more than a second.
After a while, the stone door outside the cave opened quietly. Two figures came out and left silently. From then on, the stone door never opened again.
The demons in Sea City had a lot of manpower. All of them wanted to attack the humans in Sea City.
In just two days, many humans had been harmed. When the humans realized that something was wrong, they became much more cautious. However, there were always people who suddenly disappeared in broad daylight. No matter how hard their friends and relatives tried, they could not find any news.
For a moment, the demons in Sea City fell into a crazy mood. The humans who were doing business here were all in danger.
For a moment, many humans began to think about running out and did not dare to stay.
However, Hai Changping did not do anything about such a situation. Instead, he allowed these demons to harm the humans. This made many humans furious at him.
Many of them ran to the City Lord Manor to complain and never came out. Not only were their emotions useless, but they also lost their lives.
The demons in Sea City had the upper hand. They spread threatening words all day long, making everyone in the human race feel threatened. However, they could only see their arrogance grow.
