Cultivate, Sign In, And Be Rewarded Handsomely Chapter 232 – Waiting for Death   

Li Yuanqing guarded the door with the Blood Vine. In less than half a day, more than a hundred devils had come up to die. Most of these devils were at the seventh or eighth stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and they were very powerful.

About ten percent of the devils were at the Formation Arrangement Realm. Several of them had even reached the third-grade Formation Arrangement Realm. This power could not be underestimated.

Although this was a battle on other people's territory, it was fortunate that Li Yuanqing and his companion were waiting for the enemy to come out. It was quite relaxing. These guys came out one by one and did not give Li Yuanqing too much pressure.

“Master, we've already killed more than a hundred and thirty devils and taken a lot of black crystals. I see that you've spent a lot of energy.”

The Blood Vine suddenly became eager. “Why don't we just forget about it? Let's set up a small array formation here and block them outside first. We'll leave such an exit behind to negotiate with the Devil King in Sea City. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we let them retreat obediently and seal this place?”

Without another word, Li Yuanqing stretched out a hand and gently pressed it on the stone tablet.

Under Li Yuanqing's huge force, the huge black stone tablet slowly moved and closed.

If he covered it and activated the array formation, he would not be able to open it easily. However, if that was the case, wouldn't the devils in Sea City stay in this catacomb forever?

The Blood Vine was frightened and hurriedly wanted to stop him. “If you seal this place, what should we do with the tens of thousands of devil army left in Sea City? If they stay here, it will definitely cause a calamity. It's better to let them return.”

Li Yuanqing ignored Blood Vine's words and sealed the stone tablet again. His actions were very firm without any hesitation.

The heavy black stone tablet slowly moved to the black hole and embedded itself perfectly. A dark pattern lit up beside it. After a flash, the array formation was activated again. A majestic aura spread out and repelled the two people standing at the side.

The endless black fog that filled this space seemed to have faded. The river water slowly became less turbid, but the poisonous gas was still there.

The Blood Vine's heart felt like it had fallen into an icehouse as he looked at the sealed stone tablet in despair.

Every time the Heaven and Earth Stone Tablet was opened, it took a lot of effort, and a special tool was needed. It was a token. Every time the stone tablet was opened, such a token would be consumed. Only some special people had this thing.

Hai Changping happened to have this piece in his hand, so he used it.

“Master, why are you so impulsive? Do you know that once this stone tablet is closed, we have to use another token to open it? We don't have that token in our hands. How can we send the remaining tens of thousands of devils back to Sea City?”

The Blood Vine looked at Li Yuanqing with a conflicted expression.

Li Yuanqing replied with a smile, “Since they're already here, there's no need for them to go back.”

These words frightened the Blood Vine.

“Master, you don't understand these devils. If they're desperate, the power released by these tens of thousands of devils will forever exceed your imagination. You can't underestimate them like this.”

Li Yuanqing nodded slightly and said, “I've heard some things about the devils. They can use a special secret technique to gather all their power into one person. This can unleash endless power.”

“Isn't that right? We'll negotiate with them properly when the time comes. They will definitely retreat without any reinforcements. Now that this back path has been sealed, what should we do?” The Blood Vine spoke logically when he was anxious.

“Then what do you think we should do?” Li Yuanqing looked at the Blood Vine with interest.

The Blood Vine was about to stomp his feet in anxiety. He was really puzzled that Li Yuanqing was still so relaxed.

“Master, in any case, the current situation is already extremely critical. Why don't the two of us escape from here first? When these devils' power dissipates and can't be replenished, they will naturally dissipate on their own. At that time, we don't care how many lives are lost when we return.”

Li Yuanqing shook his head and rejected this suggestion. “This matter started because of me, so I have to end it myself. We can't just leave.”

Hearing Li Yuanqing's childish words, the Blood Vine paced around him anxiously. “What time is it now? There are tens of thousands of devils. Have you forgotten the time you captured a devil? The power he erupted with almost injured you. If there were tens of thousands of them, how would the two of us resist?”

Li Yuanqing remained indifferent to the Blood Vine's persuasion, making the Blood Vine anxious.

Li Yuanqing looked at the Blood Vine and said, “At this point, we have to think of a way. If you still can't think of a good idea, the two of us can only return to Sea City like this.”

“But Master, the plan I mentioned just now is already our safest plan. What plan can I think of now?”

“No, now you have to think of a way. I think you have a lot of ideas. You must have a way.”

The two of them had already left the abyss at the bottom of the river and arrived above the river.

The Blood Vine rubbed his head and paced back and forth, alternately gritting his teeth and scratching his head. From the looks of it, he seemed to have used all the brains he had used for so many years. After thinking for a long time, he reluctantly came up with an idea.

Li Yuanqing smiled and asked, “Looks like you've already thought of an idea?”

The Blood Vine hesitated and said, “Master, to be honest, this is a little risky. However, in our current situation, it seems quite dangerous not to do this.”

“Tell me, what are your plans?”

The Blood Vine looked at the upper reaches of the river and said slowly, “After these devils leave the Devil's Den, their strength will gradually dissipate. I'm afraid these devils already know that the entrance to the Devil's Den has been sealed. We have to stall them while their strength is gradually weakening.”

“How do we act?”

“First of all, we naturally have to gain their trust and prevent them from occupying Sea City. Although Sea City has already fallen, there are still many demons and humans around. If these devils go crazy, they will kill everyone within a radius of hundreds of miles.

“Then, we'll move them to a place where we can disperse their strength and capture them all. I think there's only one place that's more suitable.”

“What place?”

“Underground tunnel!”

The Devil King in Sea City suddenly trembled. He raised his ethereal face and looked in the direction of the hole at the end of the river. His entire body seemed to be unstable.

“Your Majesty, bad news!”

His subordinate hurriedly rushed over to report. However, he had already learned of this situation.

“I didn't expect these guys to move so quickly. They even closed the entrance to the Devil's Den!”

The Devil King's entire body was pitch-black, and no one could see his face or expression. They only knew that his tone was very cold and revealed a dense killing intent.

If the entrance to the Devil's Den was still open, there would be an endless stream of devilish energy flowing out for them to absorb, preventing their power from dissipating too much.

However, now that the entrance to the Devil Realm had been closed, their strength could not be replenished, and their physical condition would definitely worsen. If this continued, they would gradually decline here. Sea City would become their burial ground.

If they continued to stay here, they would be sitting ducks.

“Your Majesty, what should we do now?”

The subordinate knelt below, his body trembling slightly. He did not dare to raise his head. Such a situation had forced the entire devil race into a very dangerous situation.

“Send out General Hei Lun! Go to the end of the river and investigate what happened!”

“Yessir!”

Not long after, a group of people left Sea City City.

This group of people floated on the ground like a ball of smoke. In front of them was a large ball of black fog. After leaving the city, he completely spread his body out and enveloped the thousands of soldiers behind him, gathering into a large dark cloud that floated in midair.

This dark cloud headed towards the river at a very fast speed and sped down the river.

Somewhere on the river where they had traveled.

Li Yuanqing quietly leaned out and looked in the direction where the dark clouds had left. He happened to meet these devils. He had just returned from there. It seemed that those devils were indeed fast enough to send so many people in such a short period of time.

This was a good thing. To be able to be so efficient, they must be the trump card team among them. After these forces left, the power in Sea City would definitely decrease greatly.

Li Yuanqing then returned to Sea City. At the periphery of Sea City, he happened to encounter a group of devils escorting a group of humans into Sea City.

“Hurry up and walk. What are you doing here? You guys caused so many of our brothers to die. You'll suffer when you return!”

“You even ran around, but in the end, you were still captured by us. You humans are really naive. Do you really think you can escape?”

These devils' words were very unpleasant. They punched and kicked the thousands of humans and demons in the middle.

These humans who had been captured again were actually the people Li Yuanqing had brought out of Sea City. However, it was strange how these people had fallen into the hands of these devils.

These people all had very depressed expressions on their faces. Clearly, they did not expect that they would be captured again after escaping from the devils. This was really too aggrieved.

“Those bastards from Ping City really harmed us!”

“I told you not to trust them. They didn't want to cooperate with us from the beginning. In my opinion, they might have called these devils.”

“Don't talk nonsense. If not for them, how could we have escaped from the devils? We can only blame ourselves for not being cautious enough. If we had left earlier, this wouldn't have happened.”

The devil team was advancing when they suddenly saw a black-robed fellow standing in front of them. This black robe was clearly his brother. One of them left the team and walked behind the black robe.

“Hey, brother in front, what are you doing here? Which general are you under? Why are you here?”

The person turned around. There was a dark fog under his black robe. They could not see anything. The devils let down their guard.

“Brothers, I got lost and couldn't find my team. I was worried. I wonder if you can let me go back with you?”

“What are you talking about? If you can't find the team, can't you go back yourself? Isn't Sea City there?”

Black Robe smiled and changed the topic. He looked at the vast group of humans and asked, “Brothers, you've captured a lot of people on this trip. From the looks of it, there must be at least a few thousand people. Where did you capture these humans?”

As the black-robed devil spoke, he walked into the group of other devils and quickly chatted with them. He even took out the fruits. These black fruits were as hard as stones and did not look like fruits at all. However, in their opinion, these were fruits.

These devils were in a much better mood after eating the fruits. Their gazes towards the outsider in front of them became kinder.

“Although your brain is a little bad, you're still quite smart.”

The person who spoke looked like a captain. The people around him surrounded him.

Another devil at the side smiled and said, “I think this brother won't get anything if he goes back empty-handed, so he's waiting here to join us, right?”

Li Yuanqing, who was disguised as a devil, smiled shyly and nodded.

The members of the devil team had already eaten the devil fruits. They did not mind having another person to share it with.

“I knew you would just pretend to be stupid here. Why didn't you say so earlier? We aren't petty people. There are thousands of people here. Everyone can get some benefits. It's nothing to have one more.”

The atmosphere between the devils was very harmonious. Everyone was chatting and laughing, looking like they had won a huge victory.

But the humans following behind could not be happy anymore. All of them had gloomy expressions.
