On the way back, Li Qing noticed that the gazes of the surrounding people looked at him strangely.

“Strange, why are they all looking at me like this? Could it be that something has happened during this period of time?” He asked curiously.

His instincts told him that something must have happened, and it was aimed at him.

He wanted to find someone to inquire about and see what was going on.

Chang Wudi had already left. He didn’t have any friends here, so he could only randomly find someone on the road and ask, “Did something big happen during this period of time?”

That person recognized Li Qing and replied, “Nothing big happened, but there is a small matter related to you.”

“Oh? What is it?” A bad premonition arose in Li Qing’s heart.

“Recently, there have been some rumors that you have obtained the inheritance of an ancient Diabolism major power, a spy sent by Diabolism.” Said the man.

When Li Qing heard this, he immediately realized, “So it was Yin Qianyu who secretly played tricks on me, trying to force me to submit with this method!”

Apart from her, who else would do such a thing?

Through talking to this person, Li Qing realized that things were not going well.

These rumors spread like wildfire, and many people believed them. On the one hand, Li Qing’s recent limelight had aroused the jealousy of many people. On the other hand, it was because Li Qing was a mere rogue cultivator, yet he was able to ascend to the top of the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings. It was definitely impossible to say that he did not obtain any powerful inheritance.

Whether Li Qing was a spy from Diabolism or not, this matter was still uncertain, but he must have obtained the inheritance of a certain expert. Otherwise, it would not be so powerful.

This has aroused the greed of many people.

In this way, with the help of many people, these rumors became more and more intense and had the potential to start a prairie fire. Some of them even thought to take advantage of this opportunity to deal with Li Qing.

Originally, the people of the Sacred Grounds had wanted to covet Li Qing’s Primordial Emperor Secret Technique. Unfortunately, he had been staying in the Sacred City for a long time, and the Sacred Grounds were unable to do anything to him due to their reputation.

Now that he had such a good excuse, how could he not make trouble? However, since Li Qing had entered the Little Thousand Worlds, they didn’t have a chance.

Now that Li Qing had finally come out, perhaps they would use the connections within the Heavenly Alliance to capture him.

This made Li Qing feel a sense of crisis in his heart.

Especially after experiencing an assassination in the Blade God Little Thousand Worlds, it made him even more cautious.

In the Holy City, if anyone wanted to capture him, they would not be able to escape, so they could only surrender and be captured.

“I’ve already comprehended the saber intent. It seems that it’s time to leave the Holy City.” Li Qing made up his mind.

Luckily, he had comprehended the saber intent in time, and this trip could be considered a complete success.

However, before leaving, he might as well go and see Yin Qianyu.

…

Li Qing returned to his courtyard first. He had just come out, and the news hadn’t spread yet. There shouldn’t be anyone who was in such a hurry to make a move. Most of them were only in a wait-and-see state.

Not long after he returned to his residence, there was a knock on the door.

Li Qing opened the courtyard door and saw a person standing at the door. He looked arrogant. He was the person from Diabolism who had come before.

The people from the Myriad Demon Sect were quite well-informed. Not long after he returned, he came looking for them.

“Where have you been during this period of time?” The hostage asked.

“Where did I go? Do I still need to report it to you? Besides, with your methods, can’t you find out where I went?” Li Qing said indifferently.

“You’ve disappeared for such a long time. Do you think you can hide in this way? You should have heard some rumors by now, right? Are you scared?” The man laughed heartily and proudly.

Li Qing asked curiously, “What am I afraid of? It’s just some gossip. It’s just a matter of catching the wind and shadows. Without evidence, the Heavenly Alliance will not easily attack the geniuses on the Dragon-Phoenix Rankings.”

“Looks like you really don’t want oil and salt!” The other party snorted coldly, “That person told me to tell you that you don’t need to meet her, and that you are willing to pay a high price. The conditions are at your disposal!”

This was considered coercion and temptation. With both methods, was it still afraid that Li Qing would not obediently submit?

Li Qing said, “Well, if it’s good, I can see it.”

He had already dragged on for a long time, and if he continued to drag on, it was impossible to guarantee that Yin Qianyu would not go crazy.

“You’re smart!” The other party sneered, extremely arrogant.

Li Qing was unmoved. Why should he be so knowledgeable as a nobody? He said, “How about this, I will go to the outer city to meet her tomorrow. As for the meeting place, I will appoint it. Let’s go to the Chang Clan Restaurant.”

The Chang Clan Restaurant was an estate owned by the Chang Wudi Clan. It was extremely safe, so there was no need to worry about traps harming him.

“How cowardly!” The man sneered and turned to leave.

The next day, Li Qing arrived at the Chang Clan Restaurant early in the morning, directly climbed the second floor, opened a single room, and quietly waited for the arrival of the other party.

After a while, a woman dressed in black walked in. She wore a cloak on her head and hid her face.

“You’re here?” Li Qing said.

“It’s really hard to invite you out to meet me.” Yin Qianyu’s voice sounded.

Li Qing said, “Sit down. You’ve always wanted to see me. Is there anything you need?”

Yin Qianyu said, “Do you know what to ask? Help me undo the seal on my body.”

Li Qing chuckled, “Weren’t you very confident before? You think that the elders of your Myriad Demon Sect can untie it. Why are you begging me now?”

Yin Qianyu did not argue with Li Qingzong and said, “What do you need to do to help me unseal the seal? If you have any conditions, just mention it!”

Li Qing said, “I only have one condition. Tell me, where is the person I am looking for?”

Apart from Liu Ke’er’s whereabouts, he had no desire at all. If Yin Qianyu wasn’t the only one who knew Ke’er’s whereabouts, he wouldn’t be bothered to see her.

None of the three major trading houses could find Liu Ke’er’s whereabouts, which made him very anxious, so he could only ask Yin Qianyu for help.

Yin Qianyu said, “I can tell you, but you have to unseal me first!”

“No, tell me first!” Li Qing said.

“How can that be? I told you at that time, what if you go back on your word and don’t help me undo it?” Yin Qianyu shouted.

“I am an honest and upright person. I have always kept my word. I will untie it if I say so.” Li Qing swore.

“Come on, you little cunning head is smarter than me. I don’t believe you will keep your promise.” Yin Qianyu sneered.

“Then there’s nothing we can do. If the two of us don’t believe each other, we’ll be trapped in a dead end.” Li Qing spread out his hands.

“Don’t forget, I still have something on you!” Yin Qianyu said angrily.

Li Qing shook his head, “You did see some of my secrets, but it doesn’t have much to do with me. This won’t affect me.”

He tried his best to show an indifferent attitude and use it to paralyze the other party.

Seeing his attitude, Yin Qianyu couldn’t help but be suspicious. Could it be that these things really couldn’t threaten him?

“I almost fell for your trap!” Yin Qianyu sneered, “I’m sure that your secret has something to do with Diabolism. After being appraised by our sect elders, there’s no mistake! You simply can’t stand investigation!”

“If you think so, then there’s nothing I can do.” Li Qing would not admit it even if he was beaten to death.

‘”How about this, I will keep your secrets and tell you the whereabouts of that person. In exchange, you have to help me unseal the seal first. How about it? Otherwise, I will reveal these secrets to you.” She began to threaten.

“I hope you will keep it a secret? Then I might as well believe that the sow will go up the tree!” Li Qing laughed heartily. He was able to see through it. His secret had already been known by many people from the Demon Gate, so it was impossible for him to keep it safe.

What he needed to do now was to pretend to be mysterious and try his best to make it impossible for the other party to guess anything else from it.

“Do you really want to die?” Yin Qianyu said angrily.

“I’ve already said that these secrets can’t threaten me! The people of the Heavenly Alliance won’t keep their eyes on me because of this! Don’t waste your time!” Li Qing snorted coldly.

“I really want to make a deal with you! How can you trust me!” Yin Qianyu’s tone carried a trace of pleading.

Li Qing naturally wouldn’t be deceived by her. Although her acting skills were extremely brilliant, he had seen it too many times.

“That’s the problem,” he said calmly. “You and I can’t trust each other. I really want to make a deal.”

He was really eager to get Liu Ke’er’s whereabouts. It could be said that the two of them truly wanted to trade, but it was difficult to trust each other. One of them had to make a concession.

Seeing that Li Qing could not be forced to compromise, Yin Qianyu could only helplessly say, “How about this? Let me first explain the whereabouts of the person you are looking for. However, we have to swear an oath on the Heavenly Dao. How about it?”

“Heaven’s Path oath?” Li Qing was stunned.

This Heavenly Dao oath seemed to be very frightening, but it was actually not very binding on Xiantian experts.

The Heavenly Dao Oath was extremely binding on Void Realm and Dao Realm experts, especially Dao Realm experts. Once they violated it, the Heavenly Tribulation would definitely be even more violent.

However, it was different for ordinary people below Xiantian level.

The binding force of the Heavenly Dao Oath on Xiantian experts was mainly manifested in the fact that if they violated the Heavenly Dao Oath, they would definitely not be able to break through to the Void Realm in the future.

However, the problem was that most people in this world were unable to reach the Void Realm. The probability was too low, so this Heavenly Dao Oath was useless.

Of course, Li Qing and Yin Qianyu were both geniuses with ambitions in their hearts. They definitely wanted to break through to the Void Realm in the future, so they wouldn’t violate the Heavenly Dao Oath under normal circumstances.

“This method is trustworthy … I agree!” Li Qing nodded.

Next, the two of them swore an oath on the Heavenly Dao.

After finishing, Li Qing said, “Can you tell me now?”

As he was about to find out Liu Ke’er’s whereabouts, he was a little excited.
