Chapter 216: Internal and External Cooperation

??

The giant elephant lay helplessly on the ground, controlled by Li Yuanqing. The others also exclaimed. It turned out that what Li Yuanqing said was true. This person was really not from Ping City.

“He’s actually from the Giant Elephant Clan?”

“When did they come in? Or is it that Ping City is no longer safe?”

“It’s over, it’s over. Why are they all mixed in? What should we do now?”

Everyone who was talking and laughing just now became nervous. The Giant Elephant Clan was one of the few clans that were besieging Ping City outside. Moreover, their Patriarch, Da Mingkong, was the leader of the four Great Lords. He could be said to be a very important figure.

Now that their clansmen had actually appeared here, they could not help but let their imagination run wild.

Seeing this, the others immediately planned to run. Although they did not know when they were discovered, they had come prepared since they were already here. The moment an accident happened, a few figures sneaked out from the crowd.

However, with Li Yuanqing’s strength, how could he let them escape from under his nose? He casually threw out a huge traction technique. None of them were missed. They were all kicked out accurately.

The entire team was smashed into a pile. There were a total of seven people. Six of them were stacked on top of a huge elephant. It could be said that they were all caught in one swoop.

“Young Master, your discerning eyes are really powerful!” Zhao Tai’an looked at Li Yuanqing in shock. He did not expect his Young Master to realize these guys who had sneaked in from outside immediately when he saw this group of people just now.

Li Yuanqing waved his hand and the giant elephant and the few people who were standing in the middle of the empty space instantly disappeared, causing everyone to exclaim again.

“I’ll leave this place to you.”

Li Yuanqing left behind these words and disappeared with him, as if nothing had ever happened.

Zhao Tai’an was also an old businessman, so he was naturally able to handle such a scene easily. He walked to the center of the venue and said to everyone. “Everyone, don’t worry. There were just some small accidents just now. However, these outsiders who slipped in from outside won’t affect our City Lord and the protection of the Sword Immortal. Our Ping City is definitely unbreakable. Everyone, continue shopping.”

Although everyone was still a little worried, they were more or less relieved to see that they had dealt with a group of spies from other clans so cleanly. There was such a small episode, but it did not affect their mood to shop.

After Li Yuanqing left the shop, he brought these captured fellows back to his small courtyard and let them out again. These people knelt in a row in front of Li Yuanqing with their heads lowered. Every inch of their skin could not move and they were all controlled by Li Yuanqing. Even if they wanted to send a signal now, they had no means at all.

“Tell me, how did you get in? What are you planning to do and what kind of destruction are you going to do? Explain.”

After Li Yuanqing asked this question, he released the seal on their mouths. They suddenly felt their mouths loosen and were about to speak when they were warned by Li Yuanqing.

“Let me be clear. I don’t want to hear any nonsense. You’d better say something useful.”

Li Yuanqing looked at the first person. This guy’s face revealed a fierce expression. He glared at Li Yuanqing angrily and said, “Cut the crap. In any case, we’ve already fallen into your hands. Are you going to let us go? If you want to kill us, feel free to do so.”

A blood-red vine grew out of his mouth and tore his entire head apart. Behind him, the Blood Vine had appeared at some point. At this moment, the Blood Vine’s body was more like a normal person. He was still wearing Li Yuanqing’s clothes. His facial features seemed to be much more normal. Compared to his previous bloody appearance, he looked like a person with a veil covering him.

“Our master said that he doesn’t want to hear nonsense. You guys have to think properly. Every word is a countdown to your lives.”

The blood-red vines touched the faces of the remaining few people and were restless in front of them. Any dishonest actions would be taken away by the blood vines. They knew very well that they had really fallen into his hands. Their lives were in his hands. Although the guy’s words were firm and powerful just now, he probably did not expect to die so cleanly.

Li Yuanqing’s gaze landed on the second person. This person’s forehead was already covered in sweat and his body was trembling slightly. His lips were trembling as he spoke. “M-my lord, you…”

“Pfft.” A sharp vine pierced his throat and blood surged out.

“Ah!”

The remaining few people screamed in shock. This kind of psychological torture was really difficult for them to accept. Even though they were already prepared to die, the intense psychological pressure of seeing their brothers die one by one in front of them was still extremely painful.

Blood Vine stood in front of the third person and said to him indifferently, “I’ll tell you again. You’d better think clearly before you speak. Our master has made himself clear. He doesn’t want to hear nonsense.”

“It’s the Great Lord! The Great Lord sent us here. Master, please have mercy!”

Li Yuanqing gently raised his hand and looked at him. “Why did your lord ask you to come here? Why did you come to our shop and buy so many basic Dharma artifacts?”

This person hurriedly said, “Our lord asked us brothers to sneak in and lie low here, waiting for the clan to attack from the inside.”

“Really? How many of you are here in total? Where are they?”

As soon as Li Yuanqing asked this question, the third person hesitated. Although he was afraid of death, wouldn’t he die if he leaked all the information himself?

Just as he was hesitating, Blood Vine had already wrapped around his neck. The intense force directly broke his neck. He did not even have the time to take his last breath before he was completely dead.

The remaining four demons all stared at Li Yuanqing nervously. What did this temperamental fellow want? Although their first two brothers did not say anything, their third brother had said everything. He had already said this, but this guy still wanted to silence him. How was he going to get along with him?

It was the fourth person’s turn. He carefully looked at the three brothers behind him, not knowing if he should speak.

“Expert, our lord has sent several teams separately. We only know where our brothers in our team are. We don’t know anything about the others!”

As soon as he finished speaking, his head fell off his body. He did not even have time to breathe. He was dead without any warning.

The expressions of the remaining three changed drastically. They couldn’t care less anymore and fought to report to Li Yuanqing.

“Spare me, expert. Most of them are gathered in the outer city. There are many strongholds in the demon gathering area of the outer city. I will bring you to find them!”

“Expert! Expert, spare me. I know where they are!”

“Expert, they are scattered and live in the city outside the city. The three of us are still useful to you.”

The three brothers fought to say it.

Li Yuanqing stood up and walked to the fourth person.

This fellow looked at the tall Li Yuanqing and did not dare to say a word. He could only lower his head silently.

Li Yuanqing walked up to him and suddenly placed a hand on his head. This hand was very quiet as it was placed on it. However, the next moment, the expression on this person’s face suddenly froze.

A wisp of faint yellow smoke spread out from the top of his head. After Li Yuanqing pulled this thing out of his body, he could clearly feel the unique aura of the Giant Elephant Clan on his body.

Li Yuanqing played with the faint yellow smoke and ordered calmly, “Kill them all.”

“Please spare me!”

“Expert, we’ll bring you there now!”

“Expert, please spare my life!”

Their final shouts echoed in the small courtyard. Then, there was no more sound from the small courtyard.

Li Yuanqing looked at the wisp of yellow smoke in his hand. So it was this thing that had covered their auras. If not for Li Yuanqing’s strength, he would have been fooled by them.

Da Mingkong was quite cunning. He actually arranged for such a trap to be set up in the city. Fortunately, he happened to encounter it today.

The Man-eating Vine’s body slowly took form in front of Li Yuanqing. “Master, what orders do you have for me?”

The Man-eating Vine had been guarding the city protection array recently, ready to defend against the invasion of powerful enemies outside at any time.

Li Yuanqing pressed the wisp of yellow smoke into the head of the Man-eating Vine. Her eyes lit up and she sniffed as if she had smelled something.

“These are all spies sent by the Giant Elephant Clan. Capture them all and they’ll all be yours.”

The Man-eating Vine slowly lowered her head. “As you wish, Master.” Then, her small body gradually dissipated into the air.

In the outer city of Ping City, something strange suddenly happened in the demon gathering areas.

The people who were originally fine suddenly disappeared from the flat ground. Some were busy at home, some were strolling around the market, and some were chatting with others. These people were scattered everywhere. They looked very ordinary and there was nothing special about them.

However, their disappearance was very strange and caught people off guard. The demons quickly spread this news.

Originally, the demons in the outer city were all in danger. After this incident, everyone was even more panicked.

They had already become a peripheral race of Ping City. If the higher-ups planned to do anything to them, they would not be able to fight back at all. They were in a very awkward situation as the war between the human race and the demon race was imminent, and they were in such an awkward central area.

Although the demons had temporarily retreated, the humans might want to take this opportunity to eliminate them. However, just as their emotions were gradually spreading, Hu Jiujiu personally arrived at the outer city and comforted them.

“Now, in the outer city, we discovered many spies from the Giant Elephant Clan and the Heavenly Wolf Clan. After a careful search by the guards, we captured a large number of spies.”

Hu Jiujiu personally arrived at the outer city and announced the recent events to everyone in the lively market.

“These foreign demons have ulterior motives and are prepared to cause trouble from the inside when they invade. At that time, you will be caught off guard and will definitely be injured by them. Now that we have caught all these spies, you can cultivate and trade freely.”

Originally, the demons were quite worried that it would turn into a purge. However, after Hu Jiujiu stood up and made a statement, many people were relieved. They could still stay in Ping City at this time because they trusted Hu Jiujiu. Moreover, they were quite satisfied with their lives in Ping City. Fortunately, the worst had yet to happen.

The Man-eating Vine and Hu Jiujiu worked together, one in the light and one in the dark. Soon, the commotion in the outer layer was swept away.

In the subsequent investigation, the Man-eating Vine discovered that the demons had sent a vanguard team before they attacked en masse and sneaked in before Ping City was sealed. They had been staying here since then.

There were people from all four clans, and the number was about the same. There were more than a thousand people from the Giant Elephant Clan that had been captured. The other three clans were being investigated further.

Most of these demons were like headless flies and were quickly found. They seemed to have cut off their connection with the outside world. It was no wonder. The few people outside could not even protect themselves. How could they be in the mood to make any plans to attack?

Many of them had already begun to escape. If not for the fact that they were stopped halfway, they would have fled long ago.

Only the Giant Elephant Clan and the Red Lion Clan were still active.

After eliminating the spies of these two clans, the operation of Da Mingkong and Shi Fengchun fell into a difficult situation again.

“Senior Da, there’s an expert in this city. He can even discover the restriction you set up.”

At this point, couldn’t they realize?

“Looks like Ping City is no small matter. However, there’s still no news from Lord Black Dragon. It’s really hard to say what to do next.”

“Senior, why don’t we retreat first? The clansmen of the other two clans are in chaos. I’m afraid we won’t be able to suppress them if we don’t leave now.”

“There’s no way to retreat at a time like this!”
