Cultivate, Sign In, And Be Rewarded Handsomely Chapter 265 – A Turtle in a Jar  

“City Lord, what are you doing?”

Hall Master Wang walked forward in confusion and supported Ye Qiluo.

The Great General turned to look over and said with a smile, “The City Lord is already exhausted from supervising the battle here. Someone, bring the City Lord away to rest for the time being!”

However, Ye Qiluo pushed the two guards aside and jumped onto the wall outside. She stood at the highest point and turned around to look at the Great General behind her.

“I, Ye Qiluo, will never forget Young Master Li's kindness to me. Now that the enemy is in front of us, as the City Lord of Rong City and the Saintess of the human race, I can't watch as he face so many enemy troops alone outside. I'm willing to accompany him to fight the enemy, and I'll leave everyone in Rong City to you, General!”

The Great General's expression changed a few times, as if he did not know what expression to put on. He stared fixedly at Ye Qiluo, not knowing if she was really determined to die with Li Yuanqing.

“City Lord, you're the Saintess of the human race. How can you go out and die so easily? If Young Master Li really needs help, I'll go.”

“The Great General is brave and good at fighting. I hope that under the Great General's lead, the human race can truly stabilize, unlike the continuous battles now.”

After Ye Qiluo finished speaking, she turned around firmly and stared at Li Yuanqing in the sky. She jumped off the city wall.

“City Lord!”

“Saintess!”

A group of people shouted behind her. They could not figure out why the City Lord had left just like that.

The Great General looked coldly at the place where Ye Qiluo had jumped down and instructed in an unquestionable tone, “The City Lord has used her life to repay Young Master Li. We naturally have to wholeheartedly protect Rong City and not let any danger befall Rong City. Activate the third shield immediately!”

Hall Master Wang looked at the empty wall with a melancholic expression. Now that Ye Qiluo was no longer here, no one listened to him.

However, no one knew what was wrong with Ye Qiluo. Why did she suddenly take things so hard? Who could have expected this?

Ye Qiluo held a long sword with a green jade handle. The sword itself was psychic. With a light shake, the sound of spring water could be heard.

This sword was called the Jadewave Sword and was considered a rather famous Dharma artifact. Now that it was in Ye Qiluo's hands, after so many years, the aura of both sides seemed to have fused into one.

Li Yuanqing did not even turn around. He asked Ye Qiluo, “Why are you here? It's very dangerous outside. Go outside and wait for a while. I'll settle it soon.”

Ye Qiluo bit her lip and said indignantly, “I know that you think I'm useless, but I am the City Lord of Rong City after all. At this critical moment, I don't want to just stand on the city wall and watch you take the risk for Rong City.”

“It's useless for you to stay here. Hurry up and go back. It's too dangerous outside. If that pig head goes crazy later, I'll have to make an effort to take care of you.”

Ye Qiluo did not even turn around. She looked at the huge pig head and said angrily, “In any case, no matter what you say, Young Master Li, Rong City can't rely on a completely unrelated person to protect it. I'm the City Lord of Rong City. I have to bear such a responsibility. If you want to go back, go back!”

Li Yuanqing turned to look at her. For some reason, his heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He felt a very strange feeling in his heart. It filled his heart, as if it was a little sour and sad. However, this strange feeling always seemed to be disturbing his thoughts, making him unable to focus.

He frowned slightly and threw those messy thoughts to the back of his mind. He focused on the tens of thousands of troops in front of him.

A few very huge forces were approaching.

The pig-faced monster looked at the little woman who had suddenly appeared and suddenly laughed.

“Good lord, the two of you are already on the verge of death. How can you still be in the mood to talk about love at a time like this? I see that you humans are becoming more and more undisciplined. You can even forget about cultivation and only think about love. No wonder you were enslaved by the demons for so many years and can't raise your heads.”

Ye Qiluo sneered and replied, “Senior Zhu, I remember that you were still human when we met more than ten years ago. Although you're a monster now, you still have a human body. Why have you become such a demon now?”

The pig-faced monster was not angry. It smiled and swung its two huge fangs as it said proudly, “If these demons were your companions, they would naturally teach you such pure power, giving you a chance to obtain such a powerful body. You can even cause such huge damage without using artifacts.”

“Senior Zhu, you're right. I almost believed you.”

The pig-faced monster sneered and looked at Ye Qiluo. “Junior, I won't lower myself to your level if you're ignorant. However, after you so-called orthodox humans die, powerful and talented people like us will naturally have a chance to stand out. We won't be treated as rebels by you and have a tainted reputation!”

As this fellow spoke, the huge amounts of energy gathered here and sped over from three directions behind, landing beside Li Yuanqing and Ye Qiluo.

Li Yuanqing took a look and saw that the three of them were in the form of a tiger, a leopard, and a hound.

When the three of them arrived, they surrounded the two of them and looked at them in surprise.

“Old Zhu, what did you say just now? According to the news from His Excellency, the person is already trapped in Sea City and won't be able to rush over in a short period of time. Why would he appear here? I think you probably don't have the ability to capture this person. Just say that he's a powerful person.”

The person who said this was the tiger-headed monster.

After the tiger-headed monster finished speaking, the other two brothers also laughed. The three of them looked at the pig-headed monster at the same time. Clearly, they did not have a particularly good attitude.

The pig-faced monster was not angry, but he became more and more cautious. He reminded his three brothers, “We can't be careless. This guy is very powerful. I was actually at a disadvantage when I fought him just now. Fortunately, he doesn't have much strength left. After the collision just now, we were in a stalemate. Now that the four of us are gathered here, as long as we destroy this kid, Rong City will naturally be hopeless.”

After hearing the pig-faced monster's analysis, the other three no longer mocked him. Instead, they focused their attention on Li Yuanqing.

However, there was a very thick golden shield around Li Yuanqing's body, blocking all their divine senses outside, preventing them from sensing his true strength.

At this moment, the power was slightly weaker. After a while, the third defense in Rong City was finally officially activated. A very strong shield kept stacking up inside, layer by layer, like building a house. Finally, the golden shield was covered in dark gray tiles.

This inconspicuous dark gray tile was their strongest defensive array. As long as such an array was around, even an intermediate Formation Arrangement Realm expert would take a long time to completely break it.

However, after seeing this array formation, it meant that they were completely isolated from the outside. The people inside could not come out even if they wanted to, let alone the people outside.

“Oh, good lord, so they throw out these two juniors. However, it's fine. This little girl is the Saintess of the human race. As long as we capture this little girl back, we will be the orthodox of the human race. Those inside will be the rebels!”

When the pig-faced monster said this, the others also looked at Ye Qiluo with greed in their eyes.

“Good lord, Old Pig, you didn't say anything just now. We actually didn't notice that this little girl had already become so beautiful. Her figure will definitely make people unable to stop.”

“That's easy. Big Brother Tiger will definitely be the first. I'm willing to wait!”

“If that's the case, you can count me in. Everyone says that she's the Saintess of the human race. I want to see how the orthodox lineage of the human race is different from ordinary girls.”

“Hahahahaha!”

As the three of them spoke, they raised their heads and laughed loudly. Just as they were indulging in their pride, Li Yuanqing, who was standing in the middle, suddenly grabbed Ye Qiluo's hand and turned into a meteor. He ran out openly in the middle of the four of them.

Such an arrogant action naturally caused the four of them to hurriedly chase after him.

“Good lord, you're already a turtle in a jar, yet you still plan to escape. Let me see where you can escape to!”

“Guys, attack the city with all your might and try to shatter this turtle shell as soon as possible!”

Before the pig-faced monster left, he gave one last order and followed the footsteps of his three good brothers towards Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing ran forward with Ye Qiluo following beside him. She looked at Li Yuanqing with a red face.

“Young Master Li, where are we going? They've been following us the entire time. I don't think we can shake them off.”

Li Yuanqing said indifferently, “It's not convenient to attack from outside the city. It's much more convenient to bring them into the forest.”

“What? Young Master Li, you're…”

Ye Qiluo never expected that Li Yuanqing was not here to escape with her. Instead, he wanted to kill the four fourth-grade Formation Arrangement Realm experts behind him.

“But Young Master Li, with their strength, the two of us definitely won't be able to go against them. I'm only at the peak of the Spirit Transformation realm now, and the Formation Arrangement realm is still far away. Although I don't know what method they used, they're all fourth-grade Formation Arrangement Realm experts. If we really fight, I'm afraid the two of us will be doomed.”

Li Yuanqing did not answer Ye Qiluo's question. He only continued to run towards the forest and dodge left and right. The few people behind kept chasing after him and even leisurely shot out beams of light from their hands.

Because Li Yuanqing still had to dodge their attacks, his speed was not very fast. They were very relaxed when chasing after him.

“Old Pig, your strength has decreased greatly recently. No matter how I look at it, the power in your body is so superficial. I think you should do less obscene things and focus on cultivation.”

“Brother Tiger, you're right…”

The pig-faced monster did not dare to say anything after being taught a lesson by the tiger-head monster. He only dared to nod repeatedly in agreement. Among the few of them, the energy he had accumulated was the weakest, so it did not seem to be a problem to be taught a lesson.

Seeing that the two fellows in front were getting closer and closer, the few of them could not help but speed up.

“Alright, don't play with the two of them here. We've already chased them so far. It's better to deal with the two of them as soon as possible and go back to take down Rong City. Only then will we really complete the mission. At that time, there will be endless power poured into our bodies. Don't you know how good this cultivation feels?”

“With Big Brother Tiger's order, we'll immediately take them down!”

“Go!”

Seeing that the few fellows behind were getting closer and closer, Ye Qiluo tried her best to pry Li Yuanqing's hand away.

“Young Master Li, you should leave first. You're too slow to bring me along. They're about to catch up. Leave me here!”

Li Yuanqing still did not agree to Ye Qiluo's request, but he tightened his grip. The deep warmth from his palm warmed Ye Qiluo's wrist. It was such an unfamiliar feeling.

With a command from the tiger-headed monster behind, the four brothers instantly increased their speed to the extreme and surrounded Li Yuanqing from four different directions.

The four of them slowly approached Li Yuanqing. From the looks of it, there was no way out.

Moreover, they had made air defense preparations this time. The four of them put pressure in midair. If Li Yuanqing wanted to escape again, it would not be as easy as before.

“Little guy, don't waste your energy there. Stay here obediently and I'll give you a quick death. As for your little girlfriend, we still have a use for her.”

Li Yuanqing looked at the pig head above him expressionlessly and suddenly said, “As humans, how can the energy forcefully injected from the demons last long? In less than three years, you will definitely explode and die.”

When the tiger-headed monster heard Li Yuanqing's words, the muscles on its face twitched slightly, but it still calmed down.

“Kid, do you think you can escape with your little girlfriend with those strange words of yours? It's not up to you to worry what will happen to us in three years, but the two of you are definitely dead now!”
