C112

As the white moustached old man headed towards the City Lord's Mansion, everyone followed him.

Li Shaoqing felt somewhat guilty as he passed by and looked at the commoners who had no way to resist their fate.

If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't keep the evil slaughter alive, these people would still be living a peaceful life.

It was just that, if Xie Tu ran away, he would pose a threat to everyone's lives. Furthermore, he would definitely run back.

If he came here to take revenge, with his kung fu, he would not be able to protect himself. How could he help others?

He sighed, and that was all he could do, because there was nothing Li Shaoqing could do.

The City Lord's Mansion was located in the southeast corner of the Skypiercing City. The grand atmosphere was the only synonym for it, although the previous four cities also had the City Lord's Mansion.

However, the City Lord there was only at the peak of the half-way realm, while the City Lord there was at the ninth level of the Road.

How could the City Lord's Mansion be the same!

Upon entering that gate, Li Shaoqing felt a burst of subtlety. Even with his eyesight, he was quite shocked.

Yes, Li Shaoqing had been to the residence of a general level expert before, but those two men were extremely simple and crude. Two thatched huts and some of his own flowers and trees were more or less enough.

And the most majestic was none other than the City Lord's Mansion in front of him.

He brought Li Shaoqing and the other ten people with him to the City Lord's Mansion's main hall.

"Bai Xu pays his respect to the elders." After saying this, he knelt down and left. Even with his current eighth level strength, he still had to kneel down with one knee.

"Haha, white beard, your strength is growing very quickly." A burst of hearty laughter rang out.

Hearing this voice, the white bearded man could not help but raise his head, "City Lord, Master. You've come out of seclusion. "

"Yeah, I'm out." The mayor laughed.

"You have reached the general level!?" As he spoke, he couldn't help but pat his forehead. "Congratulations, Master Xi."

Master, Li Shaoqing's heart was at a loss for words. Looks like this old man is even older than the City Lord!

"Come forward and speak." The City Lord said to Li Shaoqing, "Four Great Elders, come and ask too."

"You guys go down first, I have something to ask him." The mayor said, "White beard, keep the other ten people here."

"Master." The white bearded man said.

"You've also cultivated for two hundred years, are you unclear about this!?" The eyes of the mayor were fixed on the white beard.

"Yes, Master." With that, the white moustache man led the crowd away.

In the enormous City Governor's Audience Hall, only Li Shaoqing, the City Governor, and the four Grand Elders remained.

Under the silent pressure, the six of them didn't say a word and just stood there silently.

Li Shaoqing's spirit energy had already started to revolve to the limit, and the Demon Ape in his soul sea had also started to resist the suppression.

With such strength, Li Shaoqing had no problems.

In this silent confrontation, Li Shaoqing was actually on par with the City Lord, even though the City Lord hadn't given his all.

When the mayor opened his mouth, he said, "I think very highly of you."

"Thank you, but I must go to the tournament." Li Shaoqing's gaze was still as stinging as ever as he stared into the eyes of the City Lord, unwilling to give in.

Their eyes met, and they once again exchanged silent words.

After a long period of time, the city lord gestured for the four elders to leave.

"Mayor." The head of the Elders, the Earth Elemental Elder, said.

"Get down."

Now, it was the confrontation between the two of them. The silent devil, the oppressing scholar.

The Righteous Qi revealed itself in the hands of the City Lord.

Without batting an eyelid, the Magic Ape within his soul sea canceled out the power that was suppressing his soul.

Crushing his flesh, Li Shaoqing persevered, unwilling to retreat. His eyes were still fixed on the City Lord.

"Four Directions City."

"I don't know." Li Shaoqing said indifferently.

"Don't deny it. Geniuses like you are rare, and I know them all." the Mayor said, chuckling.

"What do you want!" Li Shaoqing said. He had tacitly agreed.

"Nothing, I just value you. How about Jingjing? I still have some fate with him. " The City Lord unenthusiastically spoke, as though nothing could move him.

"The general level!"

"He really is a genius." There will be an auction in two days, and I'll give you the right to use the VIP. " As he spoke, he gave Li Shaoqing a plate.

"Why? Don't try to fool me." Li Shaoqing didn't show any special expression.

"It's just a matter of good karma."

Looking at the City Lord's sigh, which did not seem fake, Li Shaoqing relaxed a little.

"Thank you, senior."

"Who is that escaping general!?"

"A benevolent Buddha who has fallen into evil."

"Where is the senior that is fighting against him?"

"He's gone."

The mayor knew that Li Shaoqing was trying to trick him, but even if he continued to ask, he wouldn't be able to get anything out of it.

"In that case, I shall forge another good karma. I'll give you a hundred thousand low-rank soul stones. The City Lord's spatial ring had 100,000 crystals floating out.

"You're disrespectful." After saying that, Li Shaoqing collected the one hundred thousand gold coins. He would not accept it for free. Furthermore, he would be on guard against the Mayor if he did not accept it!

The City Lord walked down from his seat, smiling as he patted Li Shaoqing's shoulder, and said, "Hmm, you have guts. Your friend went with Bai Xu to the west wing. You should also go to the west wing of the Mayor's mansion and stay there for the night. For example, there are a lot of good things that can help you increase your cultivation speed with spirit stones, so you all might not know much about them. In tomorrow's auction, save up a little more money and don't look at any of the good things, because even though some things are already considered good in the eyes of ordinary people, they might not be big shots in the auction, but don't be greedy. "Alright, that's all I have to say."

The City Lord once again patted Li Shaoqing's shoulder, just like how an elder would treat a junior with care.

A trace of a gentle smile appeared on Li Shaoqing's face, although it might not be easy to detect!

"I'll be leaving first." As Li Shaoqing spoke, he walked towards the west wing.

"Fourth brother, why is the mayor looking for you?" Li Tieniu asked curiously.

"Nothing." Li Shaoqing chuckled and said a few words to his brothers.

"..."

In the west wing, there were ten rooms and ten excellent cultivation environments. Truly, the room was filled with rich spiritual energy. The result that Li Shaoqing usually achieved after three nights of meditation could be achieved in one night.

He didn't want to waste even a bit of it, because his cultivation base was truly too weak.

As he trained in a special room, spirit stones were crushed one by one. The spirit energy contained there was completely absorbed by the cells in Li Shaoqing's body. Not a single strand was wasted. It didn't matter how much pain Li Shaoqing would suffer from consuming it so quickly. Once his foundation was established, it would be no problem for him to quickly level up. Every incense stick would be filled with energy as a low-grade spirit stone was crushed by Li Shaoqing.

Circulating the Qi inside his body one great cycle at a time, his spiritual energy had gone through his own filtration and collection of spiritual essence. All of it had become a part of the spiritual energy within his dantian, and the amount of spiritual energy contained within his dantian gradually increased.

Two hours passed. In the time it took for eight incense sticks to burn, four hours passed. Twelve spirit stones were crushed before the cultivation came to an end.

Li Shaoqing could feel that his cultivation had already reached the critical point. One more step and he would be able to advance to the 4th Heavenly Layer of Spiritual Energy.

Li Shaoqing extended his arms and legs, feeling that his entire body was filled with power, even though he had been training like crazy for four hours for the sake of this comfortable feeling. From his initial spiritual energy of 1.5 times to breaking through the bottleneck, he had accumulated two times the amount of pain.

Level breakthroughs were no longer a matter of accumulation, but of the flash of inspiration, so Li Shaoqing was in no hurry.

He opened the door to his room and looked at the people in the other nine rooms. There was no sound at all.

Li Shaoqing took in a deep breath and couldn't help revealing a slight curve in his face. The cool night air was really enjoyable!

? ?

A black shadow passed through the City Lord's Mansion's gate at an extremely fast speed, so fast that Li Shaoqing could only see a black shadow.

Not a single one of the soldiers guarding the gate were able to detect it, not even the experts residing in the mansion could.

This black shadow wanted to notice Li Shaoqing's gaze, so it revealed a smile towards him. However, Li Shaoqing was still unable to see his face clearly. It was very mysterious!

With that, the man flew towards the mayor's room.

Seeing this scene, Li Shaoqing couldn't help but shake his head. The City Lord really had a lot of secrets. From that person's smile, it seemed like he had something to say to the City Lord, who knows!

Li Shaoqing took in a deep breath of the fresh night air. It was truly beautiful.

Li Shaoqing once again went back to meditate. He still wanted to reach the Fourth Heavenly Layer of Spiritual Energy by tonight, and not in the light of the void. Even though there was no flash of light, he would definitely have a breakthrough in four or five days.
