Chapter 330 Invasion of Endless City
Chen Li turned around and looked at the purple lightning dragon beside him. He was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this guy would give him a treasure.
Anything that can be guarded by a demon beast in the God Transformation Stage must be a treasure from heaven and earth, and there is absolutely no way that it can be bad.
"In that case, I won't be polite." Chen Li said casually.
What a joke! That's a treasure from heaven and earth. How could I possibly refuse such a good thing, unless I'm crazy.
The purple-lightning dragon didn't say anything else. It turned around and flew forward. Soon it arrived at its habitat.
Although this place was severely damaged, it can be restored after a period of repair.
Chen Li stood beside the Purple Lightning Dragon and asked calmly, "So what are you going to give me?"
The Purple Lightning Dragon pointed at a flower in front of it and said to Chen Li, "That flower is ripe, you can pick it."
Looking at that flower, Chen Li couldn't help but be stunned, with a hint of surprise on his face.
"Xingxuan Flower, this is a top-grade medicinal herb that can transform one's body. Are you just going to give it to me like that?" Chen Li asked the Purple Lightning Dragon in shock as he looked at the Xingxuan Flower.
You know, that flower is a very powerful auxiliary medicinal herb. Even if a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage sees it, they will fight for it.
To the Purple Lightning Flood Dragon, this thing should help it to be reborn once again, and even have the hope of becoming a member of the dragon clan. Yet, this thing was handed to him like this?
The Purple Lightning Dragon said, "If it weren't for you, I would have died here a long time ago. Besides, even if I took the Star Flower once, I wouldn't be able to achieve the effect of a complete transformation."
Therefore, the Purple Lightning Dragon could still accept this thing as a reward. Besides, the lifespan of monsters is long, so it would not be too late for it to take it after waiting for a few hundred or even a thousand years, until the next time the Star Flower blooms.
Chen Li nodded thoughtfully. Since the Purple Lightning Dragon said so, Chen Li certainly had no intention of refusing.
Although these things are of no use to him, he is very clear that if given to Yin Yuehan and the others, this flower will definitely help them improve greatly.
Moreover, as cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage, they only need to take one petal to bring about a change. The Star Flower has a total of six petals, so even if each person takes one petal, it will be enough.
So he waved his hand and picked the Star Flower in his hand.
"Since you give me such a precious thing, how about we make a deal?" Chen Li looked at the purple lightning dragon, thought for a moment, and said this.
The Purple Lightning Dragon looked at Chen Li with a hint of doubt, "What are you going to do?"
"I can help you collect the precious materials from heaven and earth, and you help me protect the sect. How about this deal?" Chen Li said this while looking at the Purple Lightning Dragon.
Nowadays, Nanli Sect does not have many backup resources. Although it has now cooperated with Xuantian Sect, it is ultimately someone else's power. If it can find a demon beast in the God Transformation Stage to guard the mountain gate, it would be the most suitable one no matter how you think about it.
There was shock in the purple lightning dragon's eyes. He had not expected that this kid actually needed him to guard the human clan's sect.
But on second thought, Chen Li's strength is so strong that it would be almost a very simple matter to ask him to help him search for those materials.
The Purple Lightning Dragon knew very well that the chance of improvement by relying solely on the Star Flower was very small. He had been guarding the Yuntian Forest for so many years, but there was still no hope of improvement.
Instead of guarding the hopeless Star Flower here, it would be better to choose to cooperate with the powerful human race in front of him. Maybe he could really improve himself.
In addition, it sensed a very familiar aura in Chen Li's body, an aura that only superior races could possess, so it believed that he was a good choice.
"I can promise you, but you must sign a contract with me." The purple lightning dragon looked at Chen Li and said very solemnly.
Only after signing the contract can it completely trust Chen Li. Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for it to guard the sect for the human race based on just one word.
Chen Li nodded. This was exactly what he was thinking. After all, if they let a monster guard the sect without signing a contract, and it suddenly changed its mind, no one in the entire Nanli Sect would be able to stop it.
So Chen Li bit his finger and dripped blood onto the purple lightning dragon's forehead. "I, Chen Li, am willing to swear by my inner demon to reach a cooperation deal with the purple lightning dragon and find materials for it to transform itself. It will protect the peace of Nanli Sect for me. If it disobeys, it will be devoured by its inner demon."
As the blood seeped into the body of the Purple Lightning Dragon, a green light flashed, and a very calm aura emanated from the Purple Lightning Dragon's body.
The purple lightning dragon did not resist, but allowed this spiritual energy to flow into its inner alchemy and then merge into one with it.
Chen Li also felt the spiritual energy in his dantian. This was the contract they made. If he violated it, he would suffer the pain of being devoured by his inner demon.
After the contract was signed, Chen Li nodded with satisfaction, "It seems that it is over. Happy cooperation."
"It's a pleasure to work with you." The Purple Lightning Dragon said to Chen Li, hoping that his choice this time was the right one.
The Purple Lightning Dragon looked at Chen Li, "If that's the case, then where is the so-called Nanli Sect?"
Chen Li's fingertips contained spiritual energy, and he immediately tapped the forehead of the purple lightning dragon, allowing it to quickly understand the location of the Nanli Sect.
"But if you want to go, I suggest you transform into a human form, otherwise it may cause unrest." Chen Li said to the purple lightning dragon.
Although there are many demon beasts in the God Transformation Stage in the Endless Domain, this is only limited to the Endless Domain. If a demon beast in the God Transformation Stage is allowed to go to the Jiuzhou Continent, it will probably cause quite a bit of unrest.
The purple lightning dragon nodded, but didn't say much. He just transformed his body into a middle-aged man, emitting a very rich spiritual energy.
Chen Li fumbled for a while and then realized that the Nanli Sect's elder order was still in Qin Shuang's hands, and there was no way to hand it over to the Purple Lightning Dragon to ask it to prove its identity.
After thinking it over again and again, he finally gathered his spiritual energy on a scroll and handed it to the Purple Lightning Dragon.
"Once you arrive at Nanli Sect, hand this scroll to them to prove your identity." Chen Li said to the Purple Lightning Dragon.
The purple lightning dragon had no intention of saying anything more. He quickly took the scroll, turned around and disappeared from the place.
Watching the other party disappear, Chen Li felt relieved . It seemed that he had made a significant contribution to the Nanli Sect this time.
A demon beast in the God Transformation Stage is guarding the sect. I'm afraid even the Xuantian Sect doesn't have such treatment.
Now that such a huge fighting force has been added to the Nanli Sect, perhaps the sect's status can be greatly improved.
Now that these things have been dealt with, there is no need to waste time here. I can go back to Endless City and have a good rest.
After coming out of the formation, Chen Li didn't rest much. He first looked for information and then killed the blood soul. These things were really a headache.
Not long after, Chen Li returned to Endless City, but looking at the situation in Endless City, it seemed a little unsettled.
"What happened?" Chen Li turned to look at the guard behind him and asked him.
The guard said respectfully, "Senior, the demons just invaded and killed three monks in the city. We are currently investigating."
This sentence made Chen Li's face turn a little ugly. Not long after he went out, people were killed in Endless City, and there were three of them.
Logically speaking, shouldn't the spiritual energy in the Endless City be restricted and unable to exert one's strength? How come the demons were able to enter here and kill people?
It seems that this matter is very troublesome and must be handled with caution.
He knew it was pointless to continue questioning the guard, so he turned around and left.
Even if the guard knew some confidential information, he would not tell an outsider, so it would be better to ask the man in black robe.
The moment Chen Li entered the intelligence room, he found that the man in black robe was looking at a scroll, seemingly thinking about something.
"Sir, it seems that you have changed your mind and don't plan to go to Yuntianlin anymore?" The man in black robe said in surprise when he saw Chen Li.
Chen Li did not answer him. Instead, he sat on the chair and said to the man in black robe, "I heard that the demons invaded and killed three people?"
The black-robed man was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Chen Li to get the news so quickly. "Yes, this information is worth a total of five high-grade spirit stones, and it is worth every penny."
Chen Li took a deep breath. He didn't expect that the man in black robe would ask for such a high price all of a sudden.
But on second thought, this happened not long ago and he already has the information, so it is understandable that he asks for such a high price.
Without saying anything, he placed five high-quality spirit stones on the table and said, "Tell me in detail."
“The three monks who died were in the middle Nascent Soul stage. I heard that they happened to offend the demons.” The man in black robe said.
Chen Li was staring at the man in black robes. "How did they do it? How did they escape from Endless City?"
You know, there is a formation set up in the Endless City. The spiritual energy of the cultivators inside will be suppressed, and it is impossible for them to take action, even for the demons.
But those demons not only killed people here, but also escaped unscathed. How could such a thing not make people feel confused?
The black-robed man explained, "That's because they have tokens in their hands. As long as they sign a contract with the tokens, they can exert their power in the city."
"In other words, there are traitors in the city who are colluding with the demons?" Chen Li touched his chin and muttered to himself.
The black-robed man smiled and said, "These matters are not within the scope of what I want to explain. At the same time, we don't have the ability to investigate the affairs of the City Lord's Mansion."
"Then why were they able to escape unscathed?" This was what Chen Li was curious about. If they killed people in the city, the city lord should have noticed it immediately.
The black-robed man explained, "That's because the one who picked them up was a demon in the God Transformation Stage, so they were able to escape so easily."
"The city lord didn't take action?" Chen Li asked again.
The black-robed man shook his head. "I don't know why, but the city lord never showed up this time. It feels a little weird."
Chen Li touched his chin. The city lord did not show up. It seemed that this matter was more troublesome than he thought.
"Of course, we don't dare to guess these. This is all I know. If there is any new follow-up, I will inform you free of charge." The man in black robe smiled and said to Chen Li.
Because this was just some information for five high-grade spirit stones, he thought Chen Li would not be satisfied, so he chose to say this.
Chen Li nodded, "In that case, I'll leave it to you."
After saying that, Chen Li turned around and left, planning to have a good rest.
After watching Chen Li leave, the man in black robe touched his chin and said, "I don't know how their investigation is going. I hope everything can be handled well."
People in their line of work cannot get paid just by talking. A lot of the information needs to be verified in person. It is a high-risk job and you can die if you are not careful.
As for Chen Li, after leaving the alley, he quickly arrived at the place where those people died.
The three bodies fell neatly on the ground, attracting a lot of people's attention. After all, those who came here were all monks, but they were just corpses, so no one would make a fuss.
But when Chen Li looked at it, he felt a familiar breath from it.
