Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1780 Liu Qing's Request

Liu Qing said, "There are two reasons. First, I'm very curious about how you killed Qi Feng. After seeing you undergo tribulation, I thought of a possible possibility. You have the characteristics of the Chaos Dao Tree, and Qi Feng certainly didn't expect that you actually have seven characteristics. So you delayed him, and under pressure, he couldn't unleash his full strength. And your physical body is very strong, so you were able to stay inside longer than him!"

"The second reason is that we need eight people to leave this place!" Liu Qing said. "Even if I break through to the Great Emperor level, I can only open this formation in name. I need eight people to form the formation. I need people, and it's hard to find new people in this place."

Ye Qing said, "If that's the case, then why did you treat me this way in the first place?"

At first, the other party completely looked down on them, except for Liu Chengyuan, whose attitude was slightly better!

"This is a world where the strong prey on the weak!" Liu Qing said. "There are no eternal enemies, nor eternal friends. At first, you were weak, so naturally we could take advantage of you. But now you have proven yourself, proven that you can sit down and communicate with us on an equal footing. Only then will we treat you as someone on the same level!"

Ye Qing was speechless. This was the survival rule of the Tianxi Continent. It was precisely because of this cruel survival rule that the Tianxi Continent had so many powerful people!

Of course, it's also possible that they invaded countless worlds and obtained the fortune of countless worlds. After all, even the universe couldn't support his breakthrough to the Great Emperor realm.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing narrowed his eyes and said, "So, you're trying to win me over now?"

"It's not about winning me over!" Liu Qing said, "It's just cooperation, but you owe me two lives, and you have to accept those two favors!"

Ye Qing had to admit that it was indeed the case. With Liu Qing's abilities, she would have been able to kill him when she discovered him before, but Liu Qing spared his life at that time!

Now, if it weren't for Liu Qing, facing two peak Venerables, one of whom also controlled the formation of this place, it would indeed be extremely difficult for him to escape from their grasp!

Therefore, Ye Qing did not deny these two points. He calmly said, "So? What do you want me to do?"

"I need resources!" Liu Qing said, "I am only one step away from the Great Emperor realm. I could cross that step at any time, but I might never be able to cross it in my lifetime. Moreover, Ye Qing, we don't have much time left. You heard that a Great Emperor expert from the Dao Alliance is coming over!"

Ye Qing squinted at Liu Qing!

“If a Great Emperor-level expert comes, our living conditions will be even worse!” Liu Qing said. “In such a terrible living environment, our chances of survival are even smaller. Before he arrives, or for some time after his arrival, you must help me break through to the Great Emperor realm so that we can leave safely!”

“Otherwise, the Dao Alliance would definitely not hold back in order to prevent the existence of this place from being exposed!” Liu Qing said, “Now that you have entered the Saint Realm, I need you to collect a large number of Star Pattern Stones, but we can cooperate. If there are any Grade 9 items among the Star Pattern Stones, you can give them to me. When I become a Great Emperor in the future, I will owe you a favor for each Grade 9 item, and I can help you once! If you obtain any weapons, armor, or combat techniques, they belong to you!”

Can you exchange a Rank 9 item for the Emperor's intervention once?

Ye Qing touched his chin, feeling that it wasn't too bad.

Moreover, Ye Qing did indeed need the other party to lead him away from this strange place.

Even if he could hide deep within the mine on his own, it would be an unknown time before he could leave.

Ye Qing's hope is to break through to the Saint realm. Now that his physical body has become a Saint, and he has reached the limit of the Venerable realm in terms of Awakening, he has not yet found the path to becoming a Saint. So Ye Qing thought that leaving first was also a way.

There might be danger in the Thousand Mountains Domain. If he, as a saint, were to return and oversee the Thousand Mountains Domain, it would naturally be much safer.

His eyes darted around. If... he could persuade Liu Qing to go to the Thousand Mountains Domain as well, with the Great Emperor in charge, it seemed... he would have a certain ability to deal with future conflicts with the Dao Alliance!

But first, he needs to figure out what kind of person Liu Qing really is.

He looked at Liu Qing and said, "But I don't know you, how can I trust you!"

“You’re not from the Seven Gods Sect, are you?” Liu Qing said.

Ye Qing nodded and said, "That's definitely right."

"Just as I thought!" Liu Qing said, "I might as well tell you. I am actually a rogue cultivator. I used to belong to a sect. My sect was a first-class power in the Tianxi Continent, called the Naihe Organization. This organization had more than a dozen Great Emperor experts!"

"We were originally one of the key sects, with two Great Emperor-level experts within our sect! We held a pivotal position within the Naihe Organization," Liu Qing said. "Once, my sect leader, who was also my father, obtained a rare treasure. This treasure attracted the attention of one of the Seven Divine Sects. They wanted it but couldn't act rashly. In the end, our sect was ambushed by a combined attack from within the organization, resulting in the sect's destruction and the deaths of my parents! I became a rogue cultivator!"

As she spoke, Ye Qing looked at him, his magician's eye working at its fullest.

Liu Qing spoke very sincerely and did not seem to be lying.

"So don't worry, I don't have any other background. If I did, I wouldn't be threatened to this extent by the Dao Alliance. I have some reputation in this area. You can ask about my name after you leave!" Liu Qing said.

"Alright!" Ye Qing nodded and said, "Then let's cooperate. It'll be a pleasure to do so!"

Liu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you!"
