Wang Shun did not dare to continue.
This was His Highness’ pet. He couldn’t afford to anger it. He might want to eat Ling Hu’s meat, that Ling Hu might even want to eat his flesh. Although he was an intermediate martial artist, he might not be able to win if they really fought!
Therefore, Wang Shun smiled and quickly packed his food box obediently before leaving.
After seeing Wang Shun leave, Cow calmed down. Then, it walked to Li Yuanqing’s side and nudged him with its head. Its actions were very intimate.
At this moment, it did not look like he was about to eat Wang Shun up.
Li Yuanqing drank a pot of tea and walked towards the strange rock pile in the Wilderness Valley. He had been using the Vitality Reinforcement Pill to cultivate for the past few days.
At the same time, he simulated the Heavenly Cycle Demon Extinguishing Array a few more times. After Li Yuanqing obtained this array, he had never given up on cultivating and simulating it.
Because the simulation also needed a place, Li Yuanqing simply used some of the most common flowers, trees, and strange rocks in the Wilderness Valley to create a simplified version of the Heavenly Cycle Demon Extinguishing Array.
Then, he strengthened, improved, pondered, and considered how to cultivate this array formation to perfection and maximize its power.
Because he was focused on studying this array formation, Li Yuanqing only remembered that he had yet to find a place to sign in when it was almost noon. He followed the strange rock and walked half a circle into the Wilderness. Soon, a voice sounded.
[Host, are you willing to sign in at the entrance of the ancient ruins?]
“Sign in!”
As soon as Li Yuanqing’s voice fell.
[Congratulations to the host for signing in successfully. 100xReward: Vitality Reinforcement Pill!]
[One: Reward: 100 low-level Vitality Reinforcement Pill!]
[Two: Reward: 1 Beast Origin Pill!]
These two choices made Li Yuanqing hesitate for a moment. He had gotten more than a thousand Vitality Reinforcement Pill recently whenever he signed in.
Although this thing was good, the effect would not be obvious if he ate too much. Moreover, he had more than a thousand of them. He did not want any more of this.
“One Beast Origin Pill!”
Beast Origin Pills were for vicious beasts and were even rarer than Vitality Reinforcement Pill. Therefore, there was only one Beast Origin Pill out of a hundred Vitality Reinforcement Pill.
After obtaining the Beast Origin Pill, Li Yuanqing did not hesitate. He stretched out his hand and called for Cow, who had been following him not far away. He gestured for it to consume the Beast Origin Pill.
Giving it a pill that he could not use was not bad.
Cow was stunned when it saw the Beast Origin Pill. Although it could not speak, its eyes revealed extreme desire. It even bent its knees and half-knelt in front of Li Yuanqing, nodding at him.
Cow’s body was abnormally huge. It still looked like a wall even when it was kneeling in front of Li Yuanqing. When Li Yuanqing handed the Beast Origin Pill to Cow’s mouth, it seemed to be raining. Water dripped to the ground and splashed some dust.
Li Yuanqing looked up at the sky. How could this be rain? It was obvious that these belong to Cow’s tears. Although this vicious beast could not speak, it was smart. It could understand human language, so it naturally knew who was good to it and who was bad to it.
Wasn’t it obvious from Cow’s expression when Wang Shun talked about eating Ling Hu’s meat?
It clearly understood human language, this smart big fellow!
Li Yuanqing rubbed Cow’s head and continued to simulate his Heavenly Cycle Demon Extinguishing Array.
Time passed quietly. It had been five years since Princess Zhaoyang was conferred the title of Crown Princess. In these five years, the Northern Kingdom was filled with Martial Arts Academies, and the Wilderness Martial Arts Academy was the most famous.
A few intermediate young martial artists were nurtured here because of Wang Xian, and their reputation in the Northern Kingdom soared.
Li Yuanqing had not been idle in the past few years either. He signed in to cultivate and simulate array formations. He threw useless pills to Cow.
On the other hand, Cow, who had eaten countless pills from him, was not only smarter, but it also had an additional ability. Its body could change in size. When Li Yuanqing needed it as a mount, its back could become as big as a house. When Li Yuanqing cultivated, it could become more than half a meter tall and follow Li Yuanqing docilely. It looked like a harmless and obedient pet.
In the past five years, the Emperor of the Northern Kingdom’s health had been deteriorating day by day. He even fainted in the hall once.
The Emperor of the Northern Kingdom was not in good health, so many things were handled by Princess Zhaoyang. Princess Zhaoyang did not have a good impression of the aristocratic families. In addition, she had obtained hundreds of carriages of treasures from the seven great aristocratic families.
Therefore, the meritorious families had an extremely bad impression of Princess Zhaoyang. They all felt that if she controlled the regime of the Northern Kingdom, it would affect the interests of the families.
Therefore, Princess Zhaoyang could not become the Great Empress.
In order to stop Princess Zhaoyang from becoming the Great Empress, these meritorious families joined forces. Soon, another major event happened in the Northern Kingdom.
When Wang Shun came to deliver food to Li Yuanqing, he had been depressed and sighing for the past few days.
“Your Highness, the Northern Kingdom is currently in trouble both internally and externally. There are aristocratic families who have colluded with the Python Clan. Although the aristocratic families have been captured by His Majesty, the clansmen of the Python Clan are coveting the wealth and prosperity of the Imperial City. They want to occupy the Imperial City of the Northern Kingdom. There are fifty million people in the Imperial City…”
Wang Shun mentioned the Python Clan, which was a very ancient clan.
It was only because the sacred object enshrined in this race was a huge python. This python could eat all active animals, such as humans or beasts. Moreover, it was rumored that it took three years to expel the bones of an elephant after devouring a giant elephant because of its huge size.
The python was a vicious beast, but the people of the Python clan worshiped the python and used the python to intimidate everyone. The aristocratic families of the Northern Kingdom somehow colluded with them.
If the python went to the Imperial City, fifty million people would probably be devoured by it. It would only be a matter of time.
That was why Wang Shun looked so worried this time.
In his opinion, the Guardian of the Northern Kingdom was a Martial Saint. Although he was very powerful, he was still human.
Humans had their negligence. As long as they were not careful, the python might devour those ordinary citizens.
After all, fifty million citizens were delicious food in the eyes of the python.
“His Majesty is currently critically ill, and Princess Zhaoyang is also extremely anxious. The Python Clan has also raised conditions. If the Northern Kingdom is willing to become a vassal of the Python Clan and provide a million people for the python to enjoy every year, the python will let go of the fifty million citizens of the Imperial City…”
What Wang Shun said had already spread throughout the entire Northern Kingdom. Almost everyone knew about it. At this moment, Princess Zhaoyang had already tried many methods.
There was no way to stop the python. The Northern Kingdom was about to be destroyed.
Only then did the Emperor of the Northern Kingdom remember something Li Yuanqing had once said.
“Don’t come unless the kingdom is destroyed!”
However, the python was terrifyingly powerful. Could the Guardian of the Northern Kingdom succeed this time?
