The city gates of Rong City were all open, but there were no longer any people coming and going. However, the overall administrative orders here were very strict, so there were fewer people coming and going.

Ever since City Lord Ye left, Rong City was completely under the control of the Great General and the others. The entire Rong City was in a very high-pressure environment.

Although the citizens felt that they were under a lot of pressure, at least they had a stable life. Moreover, the status of the human race in Rong City was relatively high. No matter what, there were demons at the bottom. The human race’s life was still more comfortable.

Therefore, although the management rules in Rong City were relatively strict, most humans could still accept it.

In comparison, the living environment here was a little too harsh for the demons. Some of them had already left this place and escaped from this troublesome place. They were considered lucky. Those who did not have the time to escape were about to become slaves and live the same life as the humans before.

However, all of this was in the past. Rong City was silent now. No one made a sound. There was no sound at all. Only the rustling sound of the wind blowing past the leaves of the trees.

Everything stopped here. The humans were still like puppets. One by one, they were still in the wooden passageway.

Li Yuanqing’s heart skipped a beat when he saw this scene from afar. The current situation was much more difficult than he had imagined.

What the hell was wrong? How did that person do it? This was clearly a puppet technique.

This puppet technique was actually so powerful. Li Yuanqing thought that his attainments in puppet technique were already very deep, but compared to this person, the puppet technique in his hands seemed to be a little insufficient. Moreover, he could only say that he was ashamed of his inferiority.

Li Yuanqing stood at the entrance of the city gate. Not long after, a little frog bounced up to him from outside.

The little frog was completely made of machinery. It arrived less than ten meters in front of Li Yuanqing and suddenly jumped up high. Then, it inflated in the air. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a graceful woman in a puff of smoke.

The woman’s entire body was covered in wood-like patterns, and she had a very strange smile on her face. She gently turned to the side and gestured for Li Yuanqing to enter.

Li Yuanqing slowly walked into the city.

Rong City was no longer as noisy as before. Even the commotion of the patrol team was nowhere to be seen. This silence was really terrifying, as if they were about to fall into an abyss.

A balloon suddenly flew out of the sky. On the balloon was a huge head. That head looked like the wooden-faced man.

“Kid, see how this thing has calmed the humans down. The most boring thing in the world is humans like you. You talk endlessly all day long, causing people to have a headache!”

This thing was very loud and could be heard throughout Rong City.

Li Yuanqing walked along the street under the lead of the paper woman. The big balloon above his head was like a guide as he spoke.

“The main road you’re taking now was extremely crowded before I came. There were all kinds of messy shops beside it. Those patrols only turned a blind eye and pretended not to see anything. They casually took some benefits from others and made the entire city into a mess.”

His voice was still very emotional, as if he had experienced it himself.

“You humans have indeed created many powerful cultures and many outstanding technologies. These exquisite buildings, the concept of these designs, and even the puppets in my hands were created by you humans.”

As he spoke, a row of women suddenly walked out from the side of the road. These women were all very pretty and were actually young women in their teens. These young women smiled very happily, revealing their rows of teeth.

After the girls walked out, they stood in front of Li Yuanqing. Only then did Li Yuanqing notice that they had already arrived in front of a stage.

This stage was on the main road they had to pass through. It was a set area.

“Young Master Li, enjoy the program I prepared for you today. I believe you will definitely like it. I have to say that you humans really have unique creativity. However, only someone like me can use it well.”

As the wooden-faced man belittled the humans, he did not forget to praise himself.

After he finished speaking, the dancing team in front was already ready. Not only were there more than ten graceful women dressed in special clothes, but there were also people beside them who were ready to play the music. The musicians were also smiling very happily.

However, the smiles on their faces looked as fake as the paper sticking on their faces.

The music rose and the girls danced in the graceful music. They flew around Li Yuanqing like butterflies. It was their fragrance that spread out and enveloped Li Yuanqing.

After the song ended, the girls retreated shyly. They stood on the stage and gently bowed to Li Yuanqing before slowly retreating from the original path.

“Young Master Li, what do you think of me? Is it much better than when you humans were in control?”

Li Yuanqing did not look up at the big balloon in the sky. Instead, he looked ahead.

“Cut the crap. What do you want?”

The wooden-faced man paused for a moment before saying regretfully, “I say, you humans don’t know how to appreciate it at all. I’ve shown you such a beautiful dance and such a graceful body to weave such a beautiful picture. However, not only are you not grateful, but you’re also so anxious to destroy this atmosphere. It’s really boring.”

Li Yuanqing snorted and replied, “I don’t want to hear so much nonsense from you. I just want to see you release them immediately!”

“Let them go?” The wooden-faced man smiled. “Of course I’ll let them go. I have no grudge against them. Why should I make things difficult for them? However, the two of us seem to have some hatred. I wonder how Young Master Li plans to resolve our previous hatred?”

“I’ve never seen you before.”

“Of course. How could someone like you, who lives in the bottom world, have ever seen me?” When the wooden-faced man said this, his tone was calm. “But you took something you shouldn’t have. This doesn’t belong to you, and you’re not welcome. You didn’t leave when you should have. That’s wrong of you.”

“This is a space that belongs to the human race to begin with. You were the ones who forcefully occupied it. Now, you just want to take it back. Why do you have to make it sound so dignified?”

“Dignified?” The wooden face found it difficult to recall. “Well said. Don’t humans like to do dignified things the most? It does seem very ridiculous!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the balloon in the sky suddenly exploded, filling the sky with humans. There were old and young, men and women. They were all wrapped in the huge balloon and were suddenly thrown down from the sky.

“Hahahahaha!”

The wooden-faced man’s arrogant laughter echoed throughout the room.

“Hurry up and do it. If you don’t do it, all your clansmen will die!”

Li Yuanqing’s body had already disappeared. He flew into the air and suddenly opened his hands. A huge shield appeared from his body. Under his urging, the shield expanded in the wind and turned into a base that was a thousand feet long.

Li Yuanqing forcefully brought down the humans who were exploding all over the sky with this huge shield. He retracted the shield with both hands and shrank it back. All the humans gathered together and finally landed on the street in a row.

These humans looked around in shock. They did not know what had just happened. They only knew that there seemed to be an explosion. Then, they woke up in midair. Then, they only saw the young man in front of them.

Everyone stared at Li Yuanqing warily, as if they were looking at an enemy.

“Save them, save them.” The wooden-faced man had appeared behind Li Yuanqing.

“How many people can you save? So what if you save these people? Will they be grateful to you? Will they feel that you saved them? Or…”

The wooden-faced man smiled evilly and silently stuck himself behind Li Yuanqing. Li Yuanqing ignored him and only looked at the humans in front of him.

“I know him. He was the one who tricked the City Lord out back then. The Saintess died in his hands!”

“That’s right. This person is a devil. He wants to destroy our entire Rong City!”

“He was the one who did it this time. Why did I become like this? Why did Rong City become like this? It was all him!”

The people who had recovered their minds widened their eyes in anger and approached Li Yuanqing. What they saw was not a clansman, but an enemy with a deep hatred.

“Devil! What did you do? You turned the entire Rong City into this!”

“We have to use this devil’s life to worship our ancestors and comfort the heroic spirits of the dead!”

“Kill him!”

Suddenly, someone waved a flag and shouted.

“Kill him!”

The people behind shouted along.

“Kill him!”

All the shouts gathered in one place. The voices became louder and louder until they echoed throughout the streets of Rong City.

Li Yuanqing suddenly retreated. He casually threw out a black square platform and black energy fell from it. These black threads implicated these people and turned them into puppets.

“Did you see that? He did all of this!” The wooden-faced man had jumped out at some point and stood in front of everyone. He pointed at Li Yuanqing and said, “He’s a master of puppetry. He was the one who controlled all of you and made you kill each other. You’re already dead. Tens of thousands of your compatriots died by your own hands. All of this was instigated by him!”

The humans glared at Li Yuanqing, but there was nothing they could do. Their bodies were firmly controlled, and they firmly believed that some bad memories that suddenly appeared in their memories were all done by this person in front of them.

They killed each other. They waved their artifacts and attacked their compatriots. At that time, they were not as soft-hearted.

Now, looking at that scene again, it was like hell. Everyone wanted to find an outlet, and this outlet was Li Yuanqing, who was in midair.

“Devil!”

“Kill the devil!”

At this moment, the black threads suddenly began to loosen. The loosening feeling became more and more obvious.

Immediately after, the devil crystal platform seemed to be repelled by a powerful energy and forcefully retracted all the black threads.

Li Yuanqing took the devil crystal platform in his hand. This wooden-faced man was powerful and had very important methods to counter the puppet technique. The other energy that appeared from his body just now had a very powerful effect on the puppet technique.

The wooden-faced man retreated to the side and looked at Li Yuanqing proudly.

“Hurry up and kill him. It’s because of him that you’ve become like this. As long as this person is dead, everything will be fine. The human race will no longer be lazy and noisy. We won’t do those completely useless things. It’s all because of such a person that your human race has become like this!”

His voice echoed in their ears like the whisper of a devil, slowly submerging into their thoughts.

Li Yuanqing retreated warily to a tall building and looked down at the people who had returned. These people had already surrounded him. Although there were only a few hundred of them, Li Yuanqing did not want to kill them. This situation was very awkward.

“Die, devil!”

A first-stage Spirit Transformation Realm guy carrying a sledgehammer suddenly jumped out from the roof of a nearby house. He raised the sledgehammer in his hand high and waved it at Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing stretched out his palm and a suction force suddenly appeared. Immediately after, the person holding the sledgehammer felt as if he had been sucked into a tornado.

From the outside, this fellow’s huge body gradually shrank when it headed towards Li Yuanqing’s palm. In the end, it turned into a black dot and disappeared from Li Yuanqing’s hand.

The wooden-faced man’s pupils constricted as he stared at Li Yuanqing carefully. He could clearly feel a strange energy flash past just now. There was no mistake.

“It’s so powerful, he has a pure domain.”

He stared fixedly at Li Yuanqing. This kid indeed had some methods. No wonder he could cause trouble here.
