Chapter 249: Survived The Calamity

??

Other than the high officials gathered in front, there were also many people gathered behind. They were all looking at them from afar. They had never heard of this kid who suddenly appeared.

But now, he had actually become a big shot favored by the City Lord. He was the one who had repelled the fireballs that filled the sky just now.

Such a person was really a hero of the human race.

“Oh my god, he has such strength at such a young age. I really have to praise him!”

“That’s right. This young master had such powerful strength. How powerful is he? Could he be a Formation Arrangement Realm expert?”

“What do you think? To be able to repel such an attack, he must be a Formation Arrangement Realm expert. Moreover, in my opinion, his strength must be at the third or fourth stage of the Formation Arrangement Realm!”

“But he’s still a mighty figure!”

They gathered together and discussed. The more they discussed, the more they felt that the young man in front of them was ridiculous.

In fact, they did not expect that Li Yuanqing was far more ridiculous than they had imagined. Li Yuanqing was a peak sixth-grade Formation Arrangement Realm being.

It was not a problem for him to take down Rong City alone.

Among this group of people, there was a familiar figure. Hall Master Wang of the library was secretly listening carefully at the side. He had seen Li Yuanqing coming over just now, so he followed him here. He did not expect to see such a scene when he came here.

This guy was really too powerful. Everyone could not help but be shocked.

Hall Master Wang began to feel a little worried. He did not seem to have treated him well just now. He wondered if this lord would be angry. He had been negligent just now. He had never thought that this person had such strength, so he did not treat him as an especially powerful person. However, he did not expect that this ordinary young man would actually have such extraordinary abilities. He really did not know what to do.

“It’s over, it’s over. This is bad!” The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became. He paced back and forth. As he walked, he complained softly.

When one of his good friends heard his words, he leaned forward to take a look and asked him, “What’s wrong, brother? We just escaped death. Why are you still muttering about it being over?”

“Oh no, I’m afraid I’m going to fall here this time. The world is really unpredictable. I never expected such an ordinary young man to have such powerful strength.”

That person looked at Hall Master Wang curiously. He did not know why Hall Master Wang suddenly became anxious when everyone was so happy. He asked again, “Brother Liu, what’s wrong with you? Are you in such a hurry because you got into trouble? But you’re in your library all day long and didn’t meet anyone. You shouldn’t have provoked some big shot, right?”

“Brother Zhao, you don’t know.” Hall Master Wang whispered to him about what had just happened.

“That’s right. I neglected this young master just now. I didn’t expect this young master to really be the City Lord’s esteemed guest. I was really careless. What should I do?”

“Then you’re finished. This young master saved the lives of millions of us humans just now. If he wants to remove you, a mere hall master, it will probably be easy. Moreover, your life is probably in danger.”

“What should I do?”

“Well…”

As the two of them were talking, they saw Li Yuanqing and Ye Qiluo walking over as if they were done talking.

When the person surnamed Zhao saw Li Yuanqing walking over with Ye Qiluo behind him, he hurriedly distanced himself from Hall Master Wang. Before Hall Master Wang could react, he saw his good brother inexplicably retreat. For some reason, when he turned around, he saw that Li Yuanqing had already walked to his side.

Young Master Li’s appearance shocked him. He trembled as he looked at Li Yuanqing. He did not know what this Young Master Li was doing now. Could he be looking for the City Lord to complain on the spot?

He thought that since he had fallen here, he might as well admit his mistake first. At least he could save his face. Otherwise, if the City Lord spoke later, he would have nowhere to put his face.

Before Li Yuanqing could speak, Hall Master Wang immediately apologized to him, “Young Master, I was wrong. I didn’t recognize you just now and offended you. I’m extremely grateful that you saved the entire Rong City. I’ll definitely be extremely respectful to you in the future.”

He only said something while trembling, making Ye Qiluo laugh.

Li Yuanqing looked back at Ye Qiluo, who was covering her mouth and snickering.

“Alright, Hall Master Wang, Young Master Li is not a petty person. Young Master Li just said that he still has a few books he hasn’t read. Are they the books that Hall Master Wang recommended to Young Master Li just now?”

When Hall Master Wang heard this, sweat immediately rolled down his forehead. He did not know how to answer. “Well…”

Ye Qiluo asked curiously, “What’s wrong, Hall Master Wang? Are you feeling unwell? By the way, which books did you recommend to Young Master Li?”

The sweat on Hall Master Wang’s forehead flowed down his face. He was extremely nervous.

Seeing how nervous he was, Li Yuanqing did not make things difficult for him anymore. He helped him out and said, “Those books are quite interesting. I think we should go back first, Hall Master Wang. I’m going to stay at your place tonight. How about it?”

Just now, Hall Master Wang had rejected Li Yuanqing sternly and directly. Now that things were different from before, how could he reject this great hero?

Hall Master Wang hurriedly said, “Young Master, you can stay wherever you want. Our library is very wide. It’s a little too big for me to stay alone. If you want to rest there, I’ll go back and help you clean it up.”

“Then I’ll leave it to you, Hall Master.”

“Young Master, you’re too polite. I’ll take my leave first.”

Hall Master Wang was extremely glad that he had escaped death. He did not expect Young Master Li to be so easy to talk to. He thought that he would not be able to escape calamity this time. He did not expect to be praised by this young master. He had escaped death this time.

There were many people gathered at the South City Bridge. They were all nervously maintaining the city defense fortifications. They had to rebuild the city defense fortifications first. The order here was so chaotic that it had to be repaired as soon as possible.

No one knew when the enemy’s next attack would be. Perhaps just as they were relaxing, the enemy had already begun to prepare for an even more violent attack.

The guards below were busy building the city defense fortifications. The generals above had found a safe house and temporarily established a temporary command center.

They were still immersed in the joy of surviving the calamity. They had originally discussed that they would have a meeting in the hall later. In the end, only Ye Qiluo came over, but Young Master Li was nowhere to be seen.

“Why are you alone, City Lord? Where’s Young Master Li? He’s our great benefactor now. No matter what, we have to thank him.”

Ye Qiluo walked to the main seat and said to everyone below, “Young Master Li has his own things to do for the time being. Let’s have a meeting first and see what the problem is this time. Why wasn’t the news sent back in time? Why were they able to gather in such a short period of time and organize such a huge attack? What went wrong?”

“Report, City Lord, our scouts were set up one every fifty miles in the hundred miles. They found a gap in the southern mountains and captured a sentry post that had just changed shifts. They got half a day to arrange the troops.”

“Therefore, when news came back, they were all from the side. Due to the lack of sentries in the center area, we didn’t know about their news immediately and mistakenly pushed back the time they gathered.”

Ye Qiluo looked at her generals with a heavy expression.

“What about the emergency mechanism? Why didn’t we discover that our sentries were tied up immediately?”

“City Lord, we did set up a connection point with those sentries, but they saved one of their lives and sent back a signal on time, making us think that it was temporarily safe.”

Ye Qiluo frowned. All these so-called operations were so orderly. It seemed like the enemy knew them very well.

“In that case, the intruder knows the defense situation in our city very well.”

Ye Qiluo said in a low voice.

“Our Southern City Wall was the place with the greatest damage during the last riot. Now, many of them are construction works made of spirit stones, so the defense is the weakest. If not for the fact that we activated the city protection array in time, it would have given them such a short gap.”

“I’m informing everyone that in my humble opinion, I also feel that there should be a spy in our city among this group of people. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have launched such a violent attack from the southern city wall. This attack is really too much. It’s suddenly impossible to guard against, and it’s very determined.”

The many human generals in the hall were discussing at once. The more they discussed, the more terrified they became. They were lucky enough to escape this time because of Li Yuanqing. Otherwise, they would have missed a huge flaw and been caught.

The group of people outside had cooperated from the inside and outside and understood the situation of their defense clearly. That was why they launched such a swift and violent attack and almost wiped them out.

Fortunately, Li Yuanqing had rushed out halfway and protected the safety of their city. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At the thought of this, many human generals could not help but feel a chill run down their spines.

They were still celebrating. They thought that their human race had completely occupied Rong City. They even thought that the human race would be able to completely occupy the entire Catacombs in time.

Many people had already begun to daydream about when the human race would rule the entire world and become an overlord here. They would treat those demons as slaves and restore their former glory.

However, it was time to wake up from these daydreams.

“I know that everyone has a lot of laxness in their hearts. Half of the war has already passed, but you still haven’t went to your positions.” Ye Qiluo slowly raised her head and swept her gaze across the faces of these generals. “This crisis can’t be said to be very troublesome, but it’s a good reminder. It’s telling us that it’s very easy for the demons to take back everything we’ve obtained if we have a little bit of laxness!”

These human generals all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. They knew very well that they had indeed relaxed. Moreover, they had indeed reached the scene after a long time, causing the current situation.

On the other hand, Li Yuanqing followed Hall Master Wang back to the library.

Hall Master Wang picked up the books beside him. He wanted to hide these books again while Li Yuanqing was not paying attention and pretend that nothing had happened.

Li Yuanqing stopped him. “Hall Master Wang, didn’t you say that you would show me a few very interesting books? Are they the ones you have?”

Hall Master Wang reported the books tightly and deliberately covered them to prevent Li Yuanqing from reading them.

“Young Master Li, it was all a misunderstanding just now. I didn’t recognize you. I didn’t know that you had such an identity. I’ll go and get a few exquisite books for you to read. These are all the history of low-ranking officials.”

Li Yuanqing took the books and waved his hand as he urged, “Alright, Hall Master Wang, leave these books behind first. I’ll read them first. If I find them boring, I’ll return them to you. Help me find some valuable records. I need to know more.”

“Alright, I’ll go now, Young Master, you can stay here and read. It’s very comfortable to sit at the back. Wait there for a while. I’ll be back soon.”

His attitude could be said to be very different.

Li Yuanqing had been waiting there like a wooden stake just now. Now, not only did he speak nicely, but he also gave up his very warm nest.

Li Yuanqing looked over. The chair was clearly covered in a very thick animal fur. With such deep fur, it was obvious that it would be very comfortable to sit on.

However, Li Yuanqing was not interested in this. He found an ordinary table at the side and sat down to casually flip through these strange s.
