Chapter 268: Stirring
??
These devils gathered in Sea City, feeling aggrieved.
Originally, the higher-ups had instructed them to delay for a period of time. They also wanted to extend the battle line and naturally occupy a favorable position.
However, after encountering the problem outside, they naturally knew that they were wrong. They decided to guard here obediently. At the very least, if they could return to the Devil Realm safely, their lives would not be in danger.
Who knew that that brat would be so ruthless? He just had to close the entrance to their Devil Realm. Now, they were all hiding here and they could not escape even if they wanted to.
This group of devils had refused to step out of the City Lord Manor. It could be said that there was no one who could help them. They did not know if their lord would come and save them. But the person in front of them was really a great devil. He brought a woman to guard there and did not give them any way out.
Li Yuanqing thought of a good idea to deal with these devils. He set up a complete array formation around the City Lord Manor.
This was a unique array formation introduced in the Encyclopedia of the Devil Realm last time. To the demons, this array formation is what they were afraid of. However, it saves a lot of time and effort when used at this moment.
“Young Master Li, what kind of array formation is this? It looks very . I’ve never seen the patterns of such an array formation before.”
Although Ye Qiluo did not have any special methods for array formations, she was still knowledgeable enough. She had never seen this set of things before.
After Li Yuanqing set up this array formation, he hung alone in the center of the City Lord Manor. He was like a dazzling sun, emitting golden light.
...
“This array formation is called the Devil Refinement Array. It’s an array formation specially targeted at devils. After setting up this array formation, you can refine and eliminate all these devils. Moreover, it’s very difficult for them to break through and won’t cause any danger to the outside world.”
“I see. No wonder this array formation looks so mysterious and strange. Could it be that Young Master Li has been to the Devil Realm before? Didn’t they say that if the humans entered that place, their souls would be corroded by the poisonous gas?”
Li Yuanqing replied perfunctorily, “No, I was once fated to obtain a book and saw some introductions to the Devil Realm. I’m afraid I won’t have such a chance to go there yet.”
“I see. Young Master Li, you’re really a humble and studious person. No wonder you have such achievements at such a young age.”
Along the way, Ye Qiluo followed Li Yuanqing and silently observed his every move. Li Yuanqing looked even younger than her. To be able to have such achievements, he must have many outstanding aspects that were worth learning.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFrom the looks of it, Young Master Li was indeed strict with himself. He was quite accomplished in the study of cultivation and array formation tools. Such a talent was really rare. It could be said that he was a martial arts fanatic who was focused on cultivation.
Ye Qiluo admired Li Yuanqing, but she did not know that Li Yuanqing had his own secrets.
After Li Yuanqing set up the array, the devils inside naturally sensed it. The few devil leaders gathered together and stared at Li Yuanqing in the sky angrily.
“This human kid has gone too far. He wants to surround us and kill us here. How can we be bullied by a mere human!”
“What can we do? The Heaven and Earth Stone Tablet has been closed by him now. When we came, we agreed that not many people in this world can open and close the Heaven and Earth Stone Tablet at will. If not for this, how could we have fallen into such a trap? Now, we’ve ended up like this. We’ve been tricked too badly.”
These devils were also resentful. They had been promised benefits when they were summoned. That there were endless humans to eat and human domains for them to occupy. More importantly, they could return through the passageway at any time without any losses.
No one could reject such conditions.
However, they should have understood long ago that the more beautiful the words were, the more hidden killing intent they had. How could there be such a beautiful thing left for them in this world?
If there was really such a profitable business, someone would definitely fight to the death to do it. How could it end up like this?
However, it was too late to think about this now. Their faces were all ashen. Of course, their faces were already so dark, so there was no change. However, the atmosphere in the City Lord Manor was very solemn.
All the devils were waiting below, ready to make a move. Those devil soldiers were originally very obedient to these arrangements, but now that the leaders were about to lead them to their deaths, they could not just sit here and wait. If they continued to wait, they would become cannon fodder for nothing.
“We can’t continue like this. This bastard wants to use the Devil Refinement Formation to refine us alive here. We can’t surrender just like that. We should rush out to fight him. At most, we’ll fight to the death. Perhaps we can find another way out here.”
“But there’s only one passageway in the entire continent of the Demon Realm. Where can we find the other passageway?”
“Who cares! It’s better than being refined alive here. No matter what, whoever survives after charging out now is lucky. I don’t want to continue guarding here!”
These devils had a bad temper to begin with. If not for the fact that they were afraid of Li Yuanqing’s powerful strength, they would not have dared to act rashly.
However, they could not hold it in anymore. No matter how good-tempered they were, they could not watch others kill them alive.
These devils discussed in unison and directly retracted all the power that had gathered in one place. They absorbed it into their bodies and regained their powerful strength. After the devil soldiers below were injected with power again, their dispirited expressions had all disappeared. Now, they were in high spirits and were about to charge out with their leaders.
Li Yuanqing was about to activate the array.
There was an abnormality in the City Lord Manor. The black shield that was originally covering the sky suddenly dissipated, revealing the situation inside. The moment the shield disappeared, a few powerful devils immediately rushed towards Li Yuanqing.
Li Yuanqing waved his hand and sent Ye Qiluo to a mountain outside the city. He was surrounded by more than ten powerful devils. He swept his gaze around expressionlessly. After counting, he nodded in satisfaction.
“It seems like only you guys are stronger, right?”
These devils naturally had resentment in their hearts. Looking at Li Yuanqing’s arrogant appearance, they were even more furious.
“Kid, you’ve gone too far. We’ve never provoked you! We’ve never done anything to harm your human race. Why do you have to force us to death ever since we arrived?”
Li Yuanqing replied with a smile, “I’m afraid you seem to have forgotten quite quickly. If you hadn’t surrounded Rong City that day, why would you be trapped in this narrow City Lord Manor and find it difficult to protect yourself?”
“You!”
This devil was speechless, and the other devil shouted.
“Brothers, why are you talking nonsense with him? This kid actually has the Devil Refinement Formation. He’s definitely our enemy. If we don’t kill this kid, we won’t be able to answer to our clansmen when we return!”
“That’s right. Cut this kid into pieces, devour his soul, extract his bone marrow, and make him suffer so much that his soul will dissipate!”
Such slogans made the devil soldiers excited. They shouted and cheered. Their fantasies about stepping on Li Yuanqing and the way Li Yuanqing’s soul would tremble in their hands was so ridiculous.
However, this was only a fantasy after all. It could only let them party there without stopping. It did not affect Li Yuanqing at all.
As soon as these demons finished speaking, Li Yuanqing suddenly slapped his hands to the side. His entire body formed a cross in the sky, and millions of golden threads shot out in all directions.
These golden threads seemed to contain a very pure power. This power was terrifying, especially when these devils saw this power. They were so frightened that they subconsciously retreated, not daring to touch these threads at all.
These threads looked like they were shooting out everywhere. There were positions for them everywhere. Although it looked like it was completely harmless and the dozen or so devils had all dodged it, not posing any substantial threat to them, it looked quite funny.
However, just as they were about to be happy, they suddenly looked at the golden threads that enveloped their heads and suddenly straightened.
“Oh no! Look what that is?”
They all looked up. At some point, these golden threads had landed at the edge of the outer array and were connected with the array flags.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs a result, the golden threads seemed to have been injected with energy. Suddenly, the originally loose threads straightened. They gathered in the center and formed an upside-down bowl, surrounding all the devils.
These devils did not expect this kid to be so decisive. Before they could finish speaking, this kid had already activated the array formation. Fortunately, this was only the first stage. If he could complete the second stage of oppression, they would have no chance at all.
“Brothers, this kid has only gathered the array formation and hasn’t displayed its power yet. Now is a good time for us to break through. If we delay any longer and save our strength, I’m afraid we’ll all die here!”
“Charge!”
With this roar, more than ten devil soldiers rushed towards Li Yuanqing from different directions. This was their only chance.
They had to seize this last opportunity to rush out of the array. Otherwise, after the Devil Refinement Array was formed, all of them would be refined into a complete devil crystal. At that time, they would completely become materials in the hands of others.
The devilish aura of more than ten devil soldiers filled the sky, dying the entire sky pitch-black, spreading through the air like ink.
Even outside Sea City, the black fog spread out like ink. The places it touched were covered in a deep layer of black. Moreover, it was accompanied by a very unpleasant corrosive sound, corroding everything it touched.
Ye Qiluo stood outside the city and looked inside worriedly. Li Yuanqing was standing in the center of that layer, high in the sky.
As the fog spread out, Ye Qiluo had no choice but to continue pulling her body out.
Li Yuanqing was wrapped in such a thick devilish aura just like that. Would there be a problem? Although Li Yuanqing was powerful, there were more than ten devils after all. Moreover, these devils were born to restrain the power of humans.
In other words, if a devil of the same level fought against a human, the devil would definitely have the advantage. This was because the power of the devil was impossible to guard against. They could completely penetrate through human spiritual energy and corrode people from the inside out, even their souls.
Wasn’t Li Yuanqing being too careless? If he had been more stable and set up the array formation outside to slowly refine it, there shouldn’t have been such a danger.
Ye Qiluo was very worried now. She thought that she should have persuaded Li Yuanqing not to be so rash just now. It was more dangerous now.
From the outside, the entire Sea City was enveloped by the devil’s devilish aura. The devil soldiers below also shouted and poured their power into the leader’s body. Beams of light were guided from below and connected to the bodies of the dozen or so devil leaders.
The increase in the devilish aura was getting stronger and stronger. With unparalleled pressure, it attacked Li Yuanqing.
Li Yuanqing was a mortal after all. Ordinary people would have long been crushed into meat paste by this landslide-like pressure. But he did not react at all. He stood in the middle with thousands of golden threads gathered above his head. He did not seem to intend to take any defensive posture to prepare for these attacks.
When these devils saw that not only was this kid young, but he also underestimated his enemy, they knew that this kind of kid was the easiest to deal with. It was not necessarily a good thing to be young and successful.
The younger he was, the more arrogant and unrestrained he would be. At that time, both sides would fight to the death behind the enemy lines. If such a person was careless, he would lose his life and die. How sad this was!
However, this was clearly giving the devils a chance to eliminate this arrogant human. After taking down this human, the entire continent would be under their control.
