What Li Yuanqing did not expect was that this array formation restriction was so strong that the Wood Spirit Clone could not return through normal methods.
Although the two of them were still connected mentally, if he used such a method to return, not only would the Wood Spirit Clone be severely injured, he could not keep any of the treasures he had painstakingly gathered.
It was not easy for him to discover the latest characteristics of the Wood Spirit Clone. He planned to make use of it and take advantage of it.
In the past, he had used this wood spirit clone too crudely. This thing could even suppress his strength to the minimum and stick to the wall like air. Coupled with his powerful disguise, outsiders could not see any problems.
Just like when the Black Dragon left the passageway just now, he did not notice that Li Yuanqing was looking at him quietly from the other corner.
However, now that the Black Dragon had sealed the cave abode, Li Yuanqing could only stay here until he released the restriction or found the weakness of the restriction and destroyed it.
In the front hall of the Black Dragon Cave Abode, a green-skinned man in a green robe with two horns on his head was sitting leisurely.
The Black Dragon suddenly appeared and stopped in front of the green-skinned man with violent power.
The man did not panic. He just continued drinking his tea without looking at Black Dragon.
“Black Dragon, you have too many excuses. I wonder what excuse you’ve come up with now to seal your cave abode. What’s wrong? Are you not going to let me leave?”
The Black Dragon’s anger had yet to dissipate, but it had no choice but to restrain his temper when facing the man in front of him.
“Azure Dragon, you and I have both done each other a favor before. My residence has suffered a huge calamity, and it has suffered serious losses. Why don’t you be magnanimous and leave today?”
“Magnanimous?”
The Azure Dragon High Lord looked at Black Dragon in confusion as if he had heard a huge joke. “Bai Mei left with you, but he didn’t return. Only you know where he went. The two of you are stuck together all day long. How can you say that you don’t know anything after he destroyed my ring?”
“Azure Dragon, how many times do you want me to tell you? The two of us have just gotten together recently and have some cooperation. However, Bai Mei has a very strange personality. I can’t wipe his butt for him no matter what he does.”
The Azure Dragon revealed a disdainful expression and sized up the Black Dragon. “Your words are so righteous that I’m embarrassed to ask you for that treasure again.”
“That’s how it is. Today, my cave abode was visited by thieves. I have to capture such a thief. Otherwise, I won’t be able to take it lying down!”
The Azure Dragon High Lord smiled even more happily when he heard that.
“You mean your treasure vault was stolen by a thief?”
“Azure Dragon, I’m not joking with you. It was really stolen. The treasure vault was swept clean. I have to go and get my treasures back.”
“Black Dragon, why didn’t I see that you could play so many tricks?”
“When did I play tricks on you? Everything I said is true. None of it is fake. Do you want me to bring you to the back to take a look? You will know it clearly!”
The Azure Dragon High Lord took out a token and slapped it on the table. His originally smiling face immediately darkened.
“Don’t think I don’t know!” He stood up and held the token in front of the Black Dragon. “The last time I went to look for Bai Mei, I left something on him. That guy is in your Demon Realm now and refuses to come back. How long can he hide?”
“I have nothing to do with Bai Mei. He’s hiding in a human city. I can’t do anything to him. It’s useless for you to tell me this.”
“Are you playing with me?” The Azure Dragon looked at the Black Dragon in disbelief. “Those humans in the lower realm have long been dealt with by you and used as slaves. Now you’re telling me that Bai Mei is hiding in a human city. Do you think I’m a fool?”
Black Dragon stood there with a red face. He could not say a word now. He could only say that he deserved it. However, his things had been stolen and he did not know where the thief had gone. He had to find him quickly.
“Believe it or not, I smell that thief. He must still be in the cave abode. If you want to stay here, then forget it. I want to find that thief first.”
Just behind the two of them, a figure flashed.
Li Yuanqing took advantage of their argument to move out.
The two of them stopped for the time being, as if they had noticed something strange. Li Yuanqing did not dare to move anymore.
Azure Dragon High Lord looked at the place where Li Yuanqing was standing in confusion. Just now, he clearly felt that the light here seemed to have moved slightly.
“You won’t give me that dragon tendon today?”
“Azure Dragon, unless you kill me today, you can forget about taking anything away from me!”
The Azure Dragon was about to flare up when he suddenly felt the wall in the corner of his eye move again. His eyes moved as if he understood something and he looked at the exit of the passageway.
“I’m not an unreasonable person. Since you said that your things were stolen, I’ll take your word for it. I can leave today, but you have to give me that dragon tendon sooner or later.”
The Black Dragon looked at the Azure Dragon in confusion. When did this fellow become so kind? He was already prepared for the two sides to fall out. In any case, this was his cave abode. Even if they fell out, he still had some advantage. However, he did not expect this guy to be so easy to talk to today.
“Let’s talk about that later. I owe you a favor. In any case, I have no use for this dragon tendon now. It’s not like I can’t give it to you.”
Azure Dragon High Lord raised his head and laughed loudly. He did not know when his temper had become so good.
“Forget it, forget it. Seeing that you and I are of the same race, I won’t fuss over it with you today. I’ll let you live.”
As the Azure Dragon High Lord spoke, he walked out very coolly. It seemed like he really did not intend to fuss over it anymore.
Black Dragon was a little confused when he just walked out like that. When did this guy become such a magnanimous person? In the past, this guy would not stop until he achieved his goal. He had already caught up to the door today, but he could actually leave so coolly. It was really impressive.
When the Azure Dragon High Lord walked to the side of the aisle, he even glanced to the side.
Li Yuanqing felt that this fellow did not notice him so he carefully leaned beside him and followed him out along the edge of the wall.
The Azure Dragon High Lord seemed to be deliberately controlling his pace. His walking speed was not fast, so Li Yuanqing could easily control his aura to follow.
Black Dragon did not go out to send him off. He only waited for Azure Dragon to walk to the edge of the array formation before opening a small door for him to go out.
When the Azure Dragon saw this, he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he turned around and walked past Li Yuanqing, shouting into the cave abode.
“Black Dragon, I don’t care if you take back your lousy things in the future. I must get the dragon tendon. You better know it in your heart!”
Black Dragon’s impatient voice came from the cave abode.
“Don’t worry, as long as I survive this, I will definitely give it to you.”
“That’s good. I hope you know your place. You and I are of the same race. There’s no need to hurt our relationship over such a small matter.”
“One of the same race. One of the same race is the one who attacks the most when you’re in trouble!”
Azure Dragon had nothing to say about Black Dragon’s complaints. He only smiled coolly and glanced at the aisle behind him.
Just as he was reminding the Black Dragon, Li Yuanqing slipped out of the open aisle.
“He’s quite smart.”
The Azure Dragon muttered to himself and left without looking back. After he left, the passageway was urgently closed, and the Black Dragon’s cave abode was completely sealed again.
After Li Yuanqing left the Black Dragon Cave Abode, he ran all the way down the mountain. The forest here was very tall. Under the nourishment of this immortal energy, those trees were all thousands of feet tall. Even the bushes were like a sea that drowned people.
Li Yuanqing followed closely behind these bushes. He knew that there was another passageway here that he could return to. He had to find that passageway as soon as possible to bring back all his treasures. Otherwise, his trip would be in vain.
As he ran through the bushes, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked his path.
Li Yuanqing immediately stopped and looked at the Azure Dragon High Lord who had appeared in front of him, pretending that nothing had happened.
“Senior, I still have something on. I hope you can help me.”
Li Yuanqing spoke very politely, as if he was a junior.
Azure Dragon looked at Li Yuanqing meaningfully. “What are you busy with? You want to find a place to sell the demon cores you just stole?”
Li Yuanqing’s expression froze. He had felt that this guy seemed to have sensed something just now, and now it seemed like it was true. He stopped smiling and looked at Azure Dragon silently.
“You and Black Dragon are irreconcilable. There’s no need to interfere in my matters with him, right?”
Azure Dragon nodded noncommittally. “You’re right. We’re incompatible. I don’t like him at all.”
“In that case, what I did should have nothing to do with you. Why are you still stopping me?”
The Azure Dragon could not help but laugh out loud. He looked at Li Yuanqing and said, “Little guy, where did you come from? Isn’t it obvious? I’ve helped you a lot since you were able to steal something from his cave abode. Can’t you give me something?”
Li Yuanqing also knew that he was in the wrong. This guy had indeed helped a lot just now. He was not bad at all.
However, he had never done business with the demons of the Immortal World.
“What do you want?”
Azure Dragon raised three fingers.
Li Yuanqing frowned.
“You’re too greedy. You want me to give you thirty percent of what I stole?”
The Azure Dragon glared at him impatiently and said, “Do you think you have the ability to take seventy percent? Didn’t you say that you would keep thirty percent for yourself? Hand over the best thing obediently and don’t talk nonsense with me.”
“You’re going too far!”
“What do you mean by going too far? If not for the fact that you’re a human kid, you would have died long ago. This is our territory. No matter how broad your human race is, can you control this place?”
Only then did Li Yuanqing notice his surroundings. A powerful demonic aura filled the surroundings. It was completely different from the place he had appeared last time.
Last time, he could clearly feel a very powerful human aura.
“If I give it to you, you’ll let me go?”
The Azure Dragon smiled in satisfaction. “That’s right. You humans are all smart people. There’s nothing wrong with being smart. Give it to me obediently and I’ll put you back. We’ll pretend that nothing happened.”
Just as Li Yuanqing was hesitating, a strange expression suddenly flashed across his face. He lowered his head and pondered for a long time. Suddenly, he looked up at the Azure Dragon.
“Why? Have you finally thought it through?”
“I’ve thought about it, but I have one condition.”
“What other conditions do you have?”
“I think Senior seems to be very interested in Bai Mei’s whereabouts.”
“You know where Bai Mei is?”
“If I can tell you the whereabouts of White Brow, what benefits can I obtain?”
Azure Dragon’s expression froze. He gritted his teeth and looked at Li Yuanqing. He muttered, “These humans are not easy to deal with!”
“If you can tell me where Bai Mei is, I’ll give you twenty percent more. We’ll split it fifty-fifty.”
“That’s too little. I think that Bai Mei has a lot of treasures on him. The things on him are much more valuable than what I have, right?”
“What do you mean?” Azure Dragon looked at Li Yuanqing in disbelief. “You didn’t bump into me today. You don’t think you can escape unscathed without paying a spirit stone, right?”
Li Yuanqing smiled and said, “Senior, you might have misunderstood. I don’t intend to not pay a single spirit stone. What I mean is that if Senior can give me some benefits, I can bring you to Bai Mei.”
“Are you saying that I should pay you instead of taking out your things?”
“Of course.”
The Azure Dragon was so angry that he was about to explode. However, this kid was actually so arrogant. No one knew what he had behind him.
“Kid, if you want something, you can follow me. My cave abode is filled with treasures. As long as you can tell me the whereabouts of Bai Mei, I’ll give you anything you want!”
Although the Azure Dragon said that, his brows were filled with killing intent.
Li Yuanqing did not say anything else. “I’ll come again. I hope you’ve already thought it through!”
After he finished speaking, his entire body suddenly disappeared, and his aura disappeared completely.
Azure Dragon immediately pounced at where Li Yuanqing had been standing, but he missed.
This guy was clearly here just now. Why was he gone?
