Chapter 223: Transaction with the City Lord
Chen Li looked at their actions and understood that it seemed that they were communicating with each other.
Not long after, a sound transmission spell appeared in front of them.
After observing the contents of the spell, the guard , "Senior, our city lord wants to see you."
Chen Li nodded, "Lead the way."
Since the other party invited me, he should have agreed to do business with me. There is no need to think too much about it.
When I get there later, I will definitely need to have a good conversation with him and try to get some benefits.
The guard just now nodded and led Chen Li away. As for the other guards, they chose to stand where they were.
Only after Chen Li and his companions left did the guards continue to hide in the dark.
They still have their own tasks to complete, so it is naturally impossible for all of them to go together. All they have to do next is wait patiently.
As for Chen Li, under the guidance of the guard, he soon arrived at a place that looked very glorious.
"Please come in, the city lord is waiting for you inside." The guard said to Chen Li very respectfully.
He was just an ordinary guard and there was no way he was qualified to meet the city lord.
The reason why I was able to communicate with the city lord through the sound transmission spell this time was actually because there were a lot of things happening in Feilong City recently, otherwise such a thing would never have happened.
Not long after, Chen Li left here and walked in one direction.
When he entered, he found that there was already a woman sitting there, who seemed to be waiting for someone.
The other person was wearing a red dress and looked extremely charming, but Chen Li didn't feel anything. Instead, he slowly walked forward.
"It seems that you are the strong man." The woman slowly stood up, stared at Chen Li and asked.
Chen Li nodded and replied: "I can't say I'm a strong man, but I can help you deal with this matter."
He was only here to do business with these people, not to listen to their compliments.
"I am the temporary mayor of Feilong City, Li Qingshui. May I know who you are?" Li Qingshui looked at Chen Li and asked him.
Chen Li did not hesitate and said calmly, "Nanli Sect Inner Sect Elder, Chen Li."
After all, people would naturally notice my appearance. Instead of hiding my identity, it would be better to say it out earlier.
Hearing Chen Li's identity, Li Qingshui was a little surprised. He did not expect that the young cultivator in front of him would be the inner sect elder of Nanli Sect.
She also discovered that with her own cultivation level of the late Jindan stage, she was completely unable to see Chen Li's realm.
There are only two situations in which one cannot tell the realm of cultivation. The first is that some specific magic weapon is used to hide the cultivation level, and the second is that the other party's cultivation level is much higher than one's.
Could it be that Chen Li belongs to the latter? Li Qingshui stared at Chen Li with her charming eyes, thinking secretly in her heart.
She felt that this should be impossible. After all, there were not so many cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage, and they were all old monsters. It was impossible for them to be a young man like Chen Li.
In other words, Chen Li belongs to the former and possesses a magic weapon that can hide his cultivation.
Soon Li Qingshui came back to his senses and asked Chen Li, "Since you are here to do business with me, I would like to know how you can tell whether the other party is a human or a demon?"
Chen Li grinned. He could certainly tell the difference. As long as he activated the Blood Evil Art, he would be able to mobilize the evil energy of the demons whose cultivation was lower than his.
In this way, no matter who the other party is, he will not be able to hide.
However, there was no way he would tell Li Qingshui about this kind of thing.
"Of course I have a way. On the contrary, City Lord Li, if I have done it, I wonder what else you can come up with that is worthy of my help?" Chen Li looked at Li Qingshui and asked lightly.
He didn't actually want much. As long as the mayor of Feilong City could remember what happened today, that would be enough.
In this way, the other party will owe you a favor, and you can ask them for help if you have any problems in the future.
Even if they are even with each other, there will definitely be many transactions between them, and they will definitely become familiar with each other after a few times.
This can also be considered as paving the way for Yin Yuehan. When she arrives in Feilong City, she can also quickly return to Nanli Sect.
Facing Chen Li's statement, Li Qingshui pondered for a while and said, "Instead of me talking about the reward, why don't you choose it yourself? I think from the beginning, you have already thought about what you want from me."
She is a smart person. Since Chen Li would take the initiative to find her for a deal, it means that he must have his own ideas.
Even if I put forward conditions of great value, I am afraid Chen Li would not be satisfied.
So she wanted to see what Chen Li was thinking.
"You are worthy of being the mayor of Feilong City. In that case, I won't beat around the bush. I don't want much. I just hope you can help me look after someone." Chen Li said to Li Qingshui very bluntly.
The person who was looking after him was none other than Yin Yuehan, who was currently cultivating in the secret realm of Lin Yunzhou.
He circulated his spiritual energy and condensed Yin Yuehan's appearance.
After Li Qingshui saw this person's face, he was a little surprised that this woman was so beautiful.
"This person is Yin Yuehan, my disciple. She is currently practicing in seclusion somewhere. When she passes by Feilong City, I would like to ask City Lord Li to help her and send her back to Nanli Sect." Chen Li said lightly.
Li Qingshui nodded, but he was a little surprised in his heart. He didn't expect that Chen Li's conditions were so simple. He just needed to look after a cultivator.
Of course, she would not hesitate to take advantage of such a good deal. She nodded and replied, "Since Elder Chen has said so, I naturally have nothing to say. When she passes by Feilong City, I will definitely help her with all my strength."
Nowadays, Feilong City is facing many external threats, plus the invasion of demons, which makes her almost too busy. Now with Chen Li's help, perhaps this matter can be resolved quickly.
Chen Li listened to Li Qingshui's agreement, but he didn't think much about it. Instead, he said calmly: "In this case, let me handle the next matter. By tomorrow, there will be no demons left in Feilong City."
After saying that, Chen Li turned around and left the City Lord's Mansion, intending to take action immediately.
Li Qingshui watched Chen Li leave without stopping him. He just sat there and fell into deep thought.
What method did Chen Li use to find out the demons hidden in Feilong City in just one day?
Could it be that he has some secret method or something? Li Qingshui thought to himself.
Because things like secret techniques cannot be explored by others. All of these are people's own secrets. If you really try to explore them, it will only make them unhappy.
So next, all I have to do is wait for the good news from Chen Li. As for the rest, there is no need to care about it.
Chen Li was standing on a certain commanding height at this time, carefully observing the situation around him through his spiritual sense, and slowly practicing the Blood Evil Technique.
All of a sudden, the demonic energy in the bodies of the demons hidden in Feilong City began to slowly emerge.
The guards who had been observing the city saw the sudden emergence of demonic energy from some people, and they immediately rushed over and killed them.
Of course, the strength of these guards varied greatly, and many were injured or killed.
After some demons realized they were discovered, they immediately fled in one direction without any intention of staying.
Unfortunately, before they could escape from Feilong City, they were hit by an invisible sword energy and died on the spot.
Chen Li didn't care about the demons that were hit. They were just a group of ants. Basically, the only result if they were hit by his attack was death.
For now, we have to focus on the remaining demons and naturally cannot waste time.
As time passed, most of the demons in Feilong City had been cleared out, but there were still some hiding in the depths and had no intention of showing up.
Even these guards did not see the demons.
Chen Li glanced at several locations. The cultivation of these demons had reached the Golden Core Stage, while the guards were only at the Foundation Establishment Stage. If they were to run into them, the end would be very miserable.
It seems that I have to take action myself. Thinking of this, Chen Li flew towards one of the directions without hesitation.
In a dark alley, a demon was suppressing the spread of demonic energy in his body.
"Damn it, what on earth happened?" The evil energy in his body was out of control and kept spreading outwards.
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure appeared behind him and told him the reason: "That's because I'm helping you activate the magic energy."
The demon's eyes widened, and he immediately turned around and attacked the man.
He didn't expect that the enemy had already appeared behind him, but he didn't even sense any presence.
Before the attack hit him, he saw that the space where his heart should be was already empty.
Chen Li looked at the demon who fell to the ground without any expression, and turned to go in another direction.
Not long after, the demons in Feilong City were completely wiped out by Chen Li.
He used his spiritual sense to observe the situation in Feilong City and found that there was no permanent demonic energy, so it seemed safe.
I originally thought it would take a day to complete the process, but I didn't expect that it would be all done in just half a day.
Then next, it’s time to go talk to Li Qingshui about things.
Thinking in his mind, Chen Li quickly walked in one direction.
When he returned to the City Lord's Mansion, he found Li Qingshui already standing there waiting for him.
"It seems that City Lord Li already knows what happened in Feilong City." Chen Li looked at Li Qingshui and said.
Li Qingshui nodded, "Yes, I can naturally sense such a big commotion."
She thought it would take Chen Li a long time to deal with it, but she didn't expect that the demons hidden in Feilong City were completely cleared out in just half a day.
It seems that Chen Li’s strength is really terrifying.
"Since City Lord Li already knows about it, please abide by our agreement." Chen Li looked at Li Qingshui and said seriously.
If Li Qingshui is unwilling to comply, he will definitely kill the other party at this moment.
"Of course. Since I've promised you, I will definitely not break the contract." Li Qingshui said solemnly.
After she said this, Chen Li nodded, did not continue speaking, turned around and left.
Without any hesitation, Chen Li turned around and was about to leave Feilong City, but was stopped by Li Qingshui .
"What's the matter? Is there anything else that City Lord Li needs?" Chen Li looked at Li Qingshui and asked.
Li Qingshui nodded and replied, "Thank you for your great kindness. It's not enough for me to just help you look after one person. This is my little token of my appreciation."
As she spoke, she took out a scroll from her space ring and handed it to Chen Li.
Chen Li looked at the scroll in front of him. If nothing unexpected happened, this should be a treasure map.
Feeling the aura and restrictions above, Chen Li was a little surprised. This might be a very good thing.
"Since City Lord Li has said so, I will be honored to accept it." Chen Li took the map with a smile on his face.
