Chapter 346: Chapter 295: Fled in the Wrong Direction_2

Li Cheng shook his head, “There shouldn’t be many Artifact Refiners in our Demon-suppressing Department, so the consumption wouldn’t be too substantial, but the good thing is a steady trickle can turn into a river.”

Kong Lianqing was astonished, “You think it’s only used by our Divine Dynasty’s Demon-suppressing Department? No, it’s being promoted to the superior Demon-suppressing Departments, and from there, it will quickly spread to all the Demon-suppressing Departments in the entire Divine Dynasty!”

Li Cheng felt amazed; if that was the case, wouldn’t that be incredibly exhilarating? But he had no idea how many Demon-suppressing Departments there were.

The elder hurriedly cleared his throat and said, “Each Demon-suppressing Department has at least three to five Artifact Refiners, some even dozens. Even if only one or two come to inspect, the points that can be earned are enormous.”

Li Cheng understood, but it was a pity that even top-notch Soul Extinguishing Needles could only threaten mid-stage Divine Monarchs. Otherwise, the Soul Extinguishing Needles would definitely be used more widely, with an even greater demand.

After leaving the Affairs Hall and bidding farewell to Kong Lianqing, Li Cheng headed toward the courtyard with Duan Shuiliu in tow.

“Master, can I become a Demon-suppressing Envoy? I heard that among tens of millions, there’s barely one who can become a Demon-suppressing Envoy,” Duan Shuiliu said as they walked, breaking his silence at last.

“Yes, once you reach the Heaven God State, go for the test and you’ll find out,” Li Cheng said with certainty.

Among the disciples confirmed by the system, which one isn’t a prodigy of the heavens?

Joy appeared in Duan Shuiliu’s eyes as he nodded emphatically, “I will certainly cultivate diligently and not disappoint you, Master!”

Li Cheng wanted to say that becoming a Demon-suppressing Envoy doesn’t rely on diligently cultivating but on enlightenment, yet he chose to remain silent.

After a pause, Li Cheng said, “You’re very smart, but as your teacher, I must remind you, you must use your smarts in the right way and never harbor crooked ideas.”

Duan Shuiliu felt puzzled as to why his master would say this but still nodded heavily in agreement.

“Here we are, come and meet your senior sister. I have taken ten disciples in the Lower World, and you are the twelfth,” Li Cheng said as they entered the courtyard.

Yin Yue immediately came forward to greet them, “Master, I’ve tallied them up; there are so many Divine Stones and materials!”

Smiling, Li Cheng said, “This is your junior brother Duan Shuiliu. Now that you’ve reached the Heaven God level, teach him more when you have the time.”

“You can arrange those spoils of war yourself; I need to go out for some time,” he instructed Yin Yue.

Yin Yue paused, then hurriedly said, “Master, are you going to slay members of the Demon Race? I want to come too!”

“Li Cheng, bring them into the Blunt Empty Residence; within, they will all grow rapidly,” Ao Jiugai’s voice transmitted to him.

Li Cheng considered, agreeing that the sooner his two disciples grew, the more opportunities for enlightenment he would reap.

With the Heaven Origin Divine Tree inside and a time flow rate a hundred times faster, the Blunt Empty Residence was indeed the perfect option.

He took out the Blunt Empty Residence and said, “Then let’s go together!”

Including Ao Qing, swiftly taking them into the Blunt Empty Residence, Li Cheng then set off for Savage City.

Savage City, bustling more than ever due to the emergence of the Blunt Empty Divine Emperor’s palace in Savage Ridge.

“Treasure Maps for sale, from the Divine Emperor’s palace! Surely it is the hidden treasure site of the Divine Emperor himself!”

“Selling mysterious jade steles, products of the Divine Emperor’s palace, containing the inheritance of the Divine Emperor…”

As Li Cheng walked through the city, he saw vendors everywhere hawking divine items said to be from the Divine Emperor’s palace.

As someone who had been through the experience, Li Cheng knew these to be fake; they were simply relying on the fame of items from the Divine Emperor’s palace to inflate prices.

“Look at that young man, he’s got quite a bearing, he must have plenty of Divine Stones. Watch me sell him this turtle shell, and I bet it’ll work!”

“You dare? Just look at his waist!”

“Ah? A Demon-suppressing Envoy! Lucky for me you’ve got sharp eyes, brother. Otherwise, I would’ve been done for…”

“Heh, you should be thanking me now, right?”

“Of course, my friend. Come, let’s go to the Spring Flower Building, where I’ll let the Oiran debate with you over the Dao!”

…

Li Cheng cast a glance at the two men walking arm in arm, who fled as if for their lives; whether they actually went to the Spring Flower Building was anyone’s guess.

“Spring Flower Building? That Oiran must be of profound cultivation, otherwise True Gods wouldn’t all wish to sit and discuss the Dao with her,” Ao Jiugai’s voice rang out.

Li Cheng’s mouth twitched, “They definitely meant ‘do,’ not ‘sit.’ That’s human subtext which you, a dragon, wouldn’t understand.”

“Leaving that aside, since I’ve come out this time, I plan on finding a gathering place for the Demon Race to earn more points; the problem is I don’t know where to buy information.”

Though he had been to Savage City before, it was only in passing, and he was not familiar with the city itself.

After a few seconds of silence, Ao Jiugai laughed and said, “With the status of a Demon-suppressing Envoy, you simply need to stand on the main street and ask; surely, someone will immediately come up to ingratiate themselves and tell you.”

Li Cheng was speechless; wouldn’t that be too ostentatious?

Suddenly, Li Cheng’s gaze shifted toward a middle-aged man approaching from the front. The man’s face was pale, his divine power weak and fluctuating, with Demonic Qi circulating within his body.

“This man has been seriously injured by the Demon Race, he must have some clues.” Li Cheng thought to himself as he approached the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was also at the mid-stage of the Heaven God State in terms of cultivation, struggling to suppress the injuries within his body, but the erosion of the Demonic Qi made his efforts extremely difficult.

The people around seemed accustomed to this and paid him no mind.

In Savage City, many die every day at Savage Ridge, and lots of those heavily injured by the Demon Race or Evil Cultivators flee back here.

The middle-aged man staggered slightly; Li Cheng reached out to steady him, taking the opportunity to sense the condition inside his body, and couldn’t help shaking his head inwardly.

The middle-aged man, feeling himself supported, looked at Li Cheng in surprise, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes when he saw the Demon Suppression Order hanging from Li Cheng’s waist.

“I have seen the Demon-suppressing Envoy, sire!” He quickly bowed and then said, “Sir, I have discovered a gathering place of the Demon Race!”

Li Cheng’s eyes brightened, what a windfall!

“Let’s heal you first!” Speaking, Li Cheng circulated the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture, quickly absorbing the Demonic Qi from the middle-aged man’s body.

The man’s internal Demonic Qi decreased, and he sighed with relief, his eyes full of amazement.

Truly worthy of being a Demon-suppressing Envoy, able to so easily help others expel Demonic Qi from their bodies.

With the power of the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture, it wasn’t long before the Demonic Qi inside him was completely drawn out.

“Thank you for your rescue, sire!” The middle-aged man bowed deeply.

“No need for formalities, you could have expelled it yourself with more time, and I helped you simply because I want you to lead the way,” Li Cheng said matter-of-factly.

The middle-aged man bowed again with a respectful expression, “Sir, there is at least a gathering of ten thousand from the Demon Race in that demon cave, including several from the True God Realm. Shouldn’t you call for additional Demon-suppressing Envoys to join us?”

“No need, lead the way!”

The middle-aged man was astonished; he could sense that Li Cheng’s cultivation was the same as his own, mid-stage Heaven God State. With such cultivation, entering a den of ten thousand demons?

“I’m just going to scout the place, you just need to lead the way,” Li Cheng said with a light cough.

The middle-aged man nodded in understanding, without any hesitation. Though his injuries had not fully healed, they no longer hindered his movement, so leading the way posed no problem.

Once they were out of the city, the two flew north; the middle-aged man said, “Sire, a few days ago, we formed a team of ten to hunt demons in Savage Ridge but unexpectedly ran into a troop of the Demon Race. In the end, only I escaped.”

“How can you be sure that there are tens of thousands of demons gathered there?” asked Li Cheng.

The middle-aged man’s face showed embarrassment, and with a wry smile, he said, “Upon seeing that troop of more than a hundred demons, our group of ten could only flee, but we ran in the wrong direction and ended up at their stronghold!”

My goodness, Li Cheng was astounded, what a talent!

“You’ve made a mock of me, sire! The one leading the way was a friend of mine, but he’s dead,” the middle-aged man said with a cough.

With that demeanor, Li Cheng suspected that the one who led the escape was probably him!

Indeed, there’s nothing to fear like a pig-headed teammate. All nine lives squandered by his doing.

“How much farther?” Li Cheng changed the subject, not worried about being led astray by him; after all, his own job was just to follow the lead. Once they arrived, his task would be done.

The middle-aged man made a quick calculation and said, “At our speed, we should arrive in four hours.”

After flying for a little over an hour, Li Cheng’s Divine Sense already detected several scattered demons ahead.

They must be the demon scouts.

Li Cheng hastily grabbed the middle-aged man, “Stop flying, we’ve arrived!”

The middle-aged man turned his head to look around and, scratching his head in embarrassment, said, “My apologies, sir, I got distracted. It seems we’ve arrived, it’s around here.”

“You can go back now, thanks!”

Li Cheng casually tossed a bottle of Heaven God Pills to him and activated his Domain, disappearing from view.

The middle-aged man caught the jade bottle and opened it to take a look, his expression instantly filled with astonishment, “This is too precious, sir…”

He turned his head to look around but could no longer see Li Cheng’s figure.

Collecting his thoughts, he faced the direction of Savage City and bowed deeply, “Take care, sir!”

After speaking, he turned around and flew northward.

The hidden Li Cheng was stunned; such a talent, he had circled around and confused himself?

He thought the direction back to the city was, in fact, the gathering place of the Demon Race!
