At this moment, Ping City was holding a celebration.

After they ended the long period of defense construction, the overall defense had completely reached the requirements of the Sword Immortal.

Although they did not know what the judgment of the Sword Immortal was, they trusted the Sword Immortal very much. The Sword Immortal was the pride of the human race. The Sword Immortal’s words were final. The Sword Immortal’s words were a rule that everyone in the human race had to abide by.

Therefore, there was such a grand banquet. This banquet was mainly to celebrate the peace of the Demon Realm under the lead of the humans.

They had been freed from the complete chaos of inequality when the humans were enslaved and the demons were high and mighty. Now, the entire Demon Realm had welcomed a new chapter.

It was not only Ping City. The other cities also followed in Ping City’s footsteps and held such a celebratory banquet. This was a very grand joyous occasion for the human race and was worth such a celebration.

“Senior Brother Liu, there are still some things I don’t understand about this array formation.”

A graceful female classmate jogged all the way to Liu Wen, who was in front. She shyly took out the rough array formation map she had made and showed it to Liu Wen.

Liu Wen stopped in his tracks and looked at the female classmate at the side with a smile. “Little Yu, everyone has gone to the banquet. Why aren’t you there? Why are you still studying these array formations so attentively?”

Little Yu lowered her head shyly and replied very shyly, “I’m also going to the school’s venue later. However, I didn’t understand this question just now and felt very uncomfortable, so I wanted to ask Senior Brother. I won’t delay you, right?”

“I’m fine.”

While he was chatting happily with his female classmate, Yang Tianqi and Hu Qian had already left side by side.

“Tianqi…”

The female classmate lowered her head even more guiltily. “Senior Brother, I think I shouldn’t disturb you.”

Liu Wen scratched his head helplessly and said apologetically, “I think we should wait until tomorrow. Today’s banquet is really too grand. Let’s go to the banquet to take a look first. I heard that the City Lord has prepared something very good for everyone. We can’t miss it.”

“Yes, thank you, Senior Brother.”

After saying goodbye to the female classmate, Liu Wen jogged after them.

Hu Qian was lecturing Yang Tianqi.

“In my opinion, this City Lord is also very strange. She changes her ways day and night. A few days ago, she was still saying that we have to build walls and fortifications wantonly to make us safer. Now, she suddenly said that everything is safe. In the end, this feels unreliable.”

Hu Qian did not want to attend today’s banquet, so she had been finding excuses all day to criticize Hu Jiujiu.

Yang Tianqi naturally knew who was behind this. He said awkwardly, “Actually, there might be many things you don’t know. It’s best not to say anything before you understand the truth.”

“What do you mean you don’t know the truth?” Hu Qian suddenly thought of something. She looked up at Yang Tianqi and pouted. “I remember now. You’re very close to the City Lord. Alright, I shouldn’t have said anything bad about her in front of you.”

“That’s not the reason, Xiaoqian. It’s just…”

“Alright, stop talking to me. I won’t listen!”

Hu Qian covered her ears and ran forward, leaving Yang Tianqi behind.

Yang Tianqi could not reveal everything about his master. He could only say it unclearly.

Liu Wen jogged two steps to catch up. He happened to see the two of them arguing and running away. He could not help but hide behind and laugh.

“I say, Great Love Saint, what’s wrong with you now? How did you provoke Miss? I don’t think your situation is too good.”

“Don’t you have something else to do? Why are you settling it so quickly?”

“I saw the two of you running so fast that you kept trying to shake me off. I couldn’t see this.”

“Do you think Master is back now?”

“How would I know? Master’s whereabouts have always been unfathomable. Why are you thinking about this?”

“Xiaoqian is worried that she will be captured by her family, so she doesn’t want to go out now. I think if Master comes back, Xiaoqian won’t have to worry. We can go to the banquet together, don’t you think so?”

“That’s right, but Master can’t do anything about these things, right? In my opinion, instead of waiting for Master to return, why don’t the two of us think of a way to escape the pursuit of their clansmen? Isn’t that enough?”

Yang Tianqi looked at him with a frown and said, “You make it sound so easy, but Master didn’t even say anything when he was around. He could resolve all these troublesome matters. Now that he’s gone, what’s the point of relying on the two of us?”

“We just need to make those old fellows in her clan retreat in the face of difficulties and know that the two of us are not so easy to provoke, right? In my opinion, it’s not that troublesome.”

“What are you going to do?”

Liu Wen took out his thick book and picked out an array formation from it. He placed it in front of Yang Tianqi.

“This illusion array can trap anyone who enters and make them unable to extricate themselves. Even a mid-stage Spirit Transformation expert could be easily controlled and be at our mercy. Those old fellows in their family are not very strong. In my opinion, we can use this to deal with them.”

Yang Tianqi hurriedly waved his hand and closed the book righteously. “No, have you forgotten what Sister Little Man said? Back then, she taught us this array formation and warned us not to use it rashly. If we’re discovered and reported, we’ll be finished.”

Liu Wen raised his eyebrows and clicked his tongue.

“Then forget it. You wanted to have such beauty, yet you don’t have the guts. You should just send your Xiaoqian back obediently. Don’t think too much about it.”

Yang Tianqi was also very conflicted. He knew that this was not good. This was very dangerous and could easily be used against him. However, he really wanted to bring Xiaoqian out to play.

This banquet was really very grand. Everyone in Ping City would participate. It was a banquet that only happened once every hundred years.

If he missed this time, he did not know when the next time would be.

It could be seen that Xiaoqian really wanted to attend this grand meeting. However, her family kept searching outside, so she had no choice.

Although she said that she didn’t want to go, she was just finding an excuse.

Yang Tianqi muttered to comfort himself, “Nothing will happen this time. Just this once. As long as no one finds out after this, no one will know that we did it.”

He caught up with Liu Wen in front and pulled him into a corner beside him.

“Just this once, and you’re not allowed to hurt their lives. As long as you release them immediately after this banquet, they’ll definitely be fine, right?”

Liu Wenting smiled at him as if he had this brother completely in his palm.

“Why are you still hitting on girls when you’re so timid? Give up early. She’s not someone you can control at all. As a good brother, I advise you not to think too much.”

Yang Tianqi was immediately unhappy when he heard this. He glared at Liu Wen and grabbed his shoulder.

“Who said I’m timid? It’s settled this time. I’ll preside over this array formation!”

“You said it yourself. Don’t go back on your word!”

“I won’t go back on my word.”

“I’ll look forward to it.”

Outside the entrance of the academy, two strange demons were sitting sneakily in front of a tea stall. From time to time, they would glance at the entrance of the academy.

Although the members of the Demon Fox Clan had discovered that Hu Qian had escaped with the two brats, they were helpless now that they were hiding in the academy.

This was because the academy had issued a death order that no matter what happened, it was not allowed to affect the normal operation of the academy. Therefore, this situation was very stalemate.

The Demon Fox had no choice but to send someone to guard the entrance of the academy. As long as Hu Qian came out, they would immediately capture her and bring her back. And that Yang Tianqi, this was too ridiculous.

Three heads could be seen coming out of the academy’s wall. The three of them carefully sized up the sentries and slowly retracted their heads.

“Your family really spent a lot of money. They sent so many sentries to guard here at once. There are seven or eight of them in total. Do these people not have to do anything every day?”

Liu Wen leaned against the wall and could not help but complain.

Yang Tianqi ignored him and turned to Hu Qian. “Xiaoqian, don’t worry. I’ve already prepared the materials. When the time comes, lure them to the remote hill at the side. We’ll trap them there for the time being and release them after the banquet. They’ll be fine.”

Hu Qian stared at the two of them in confusion, not particularly sure if the two brothers were bragging.

“Can the two of you really control them all? They’re all about to reach the Spirit Transformation realm. We can’t resist such strength.”

Yang Tianqi smiled proudly and said, “Don’t worry, leave it to me. I have the control array formation personally taught by Sister Little Man. No matter how strong he is, as long as he falls into this array formation, he will be trapped and unable to leave.”

“Sister Little Man? That can be trusted.”

Liu Wen was immediately unhappy when he heard this. He said unhappily, “What do you mean? Can’t you trust the two of us?”

Hu Qian pursed her lips and muttered to herself without answering him.

“Tell me clearly. What do you mean?”

At the entrance of the academy, the three of them swaggered out and headed towards the mountain.

The sentries outside immediately sent a signal after the three of them left. The people from the other directions rushed over. They followed closely behind.

Liu Wen and the other two seemed to have sensed that someone was chasing after them and quickened their pace. Soon, the three of them disappeared from the main street and touched the hillside from the path.

The demon foxes behind also followed closely.

When they were halfway up the mountain, a thick fog suddenly rose from their bodies. The fog kept increasing and slowly covered their vision.

It was clearly noon, and there was a bright sun when they came up just now. There was no smoke at all. Why was it so foggy halfway?

These people did not have the time to think carefully. They were still chasing along the path just now, but the more they walked, the more they felt that something was wrong. They had been walking here for a long time, but there was clearly no change. They finally sensed that something was wrong.

“Damn. Where am I?”

They were trapped in the mountains and outside. Liu Wen, Yang Tianqi, and Hu Qian had already run onto the streets happily.

“Do you think they will really be trapped inside?”

“Don’t worry. When have the two of us ever lied to you? Those guys from your family can’t come out no matter what.”

Liu Wen grinned and looked at Hu Qian. He said, “Not to mention those lowly servants, even if we trap your grandma in this array formation, she won’t be able to come out for a while.”

Hu Qian was smiling happily just now, but her expression immediately changed when she heard this.

Liu Wen felt that something was wrong. It was too late to apologize.

“Don’t speak ill of Granny!”

“I didn’t. I was just saying.”

“But you’re not allowed to speak ill of Granny!”

Hu Qian was furious and crawled into the crowd, leaving the two brothers far behind.

The two of them were about to chase after him when they suddenly felt the world spin.

When they woke up again, they had already arrived at a very familiar space. They had cultivated in this space for a long time in the past. Now that they were back, they naturally felt very close.

And in front of them stood a young man, staring at the two of them.

When the two brothers saw the man in front of them, they knelt on the ground.

“Master!”

Li Yuanqing looked down at them and said angrily, “The two of you still know that you have me as your master.”

“Master, I know my mistake. It’s just that you haven’t returned for a long time. I don’t dare to forget your kindness!”

Li Yuanqing knocked on their heads and looked at them. “Do you know what you did wrong?”

“I shouldn’t be playful.”

Li Yuanqing could not help but laugh out loud when he saw their embarrassed expressions. He patted their heads gently and said with a smile, “I was just making fun of you guys. You don’t have to take it so seriously. I think the two of you seem to be interested in that girl.”

Yang Tianqi hurriedly raised his head and looked at Li Yuanqing. “Master, I’m sincere to Xiaoqian. I’m definitely not lying. I know that you’re unwilling to let us find a dual cultivation partner. I’m willing to wait twenty years before marrying Xiaoqian.”

Li Yuanqing looked at him meaningfully and asked, “You’re willing to wait like this, but can a girl wait?”

“Master, I… I don’t know.”
