Dongfang Bingyun instructed, “Go down and arrange it immediately. Remember, on the surface, you can’t reveal any flaws. Pretend that you don’t know that Li Qing has returned.”

“Yes, this subordinate will retire.”

After Commander Gu left, Dongfang Bingyun was the only one left in the hall.

Li Qing thought to himself, “If I try my best to save people and fight them, I will be brought into the rhythm they want. Why don’t we find another way to break the situation?”

Looking at Dongfang Bingyun standing alone in the main hall, Li Qing’s eyes lit up, “As the saying goes, capture the thief first and capture the king. Now Dongfang Bingyun is right in front of me. If I can capture her and take her life in my hands, then she must obey obediently. How dare she not let her go?”

Thinking of this, Li Qing had a plan in his heart.

As the lord of a city, Dongfang Bingyun had a strong defensive force around her. In addition, she was at the tenth level of the Xiantian realm. Even if she could not defeat the invading enemy, she would still be able to hold on for at least a period of time and wait for reinforcements.

However, Li Qing was a freak with many methods and powerful combat strength. Although Dongfang Bingyun’s strength was not bad, he had only just stepped into the tenth level of the Xiantian realm, so how could he compare to Li Qing?

In addition, Li Qing had just condensed the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form. It was incredibly wonderful, just in time to test its power.

“Let’s do this!” Li Qing walked to an uninhabited corner and turned into the appearance and figure of an ancient commander. Then, he walked out openly.

“Commander Gu, why are you back?” The guard asked curiously.

“I suddenly remembered something important. I forgot to report it to the City Lord.” Li Qing pretended to be the commander of the Ancient Era, and his tone was exquisite. Of course, these guards couldn’t tell, so they didn’t have any doubts.

After passing through many checkpoints, Li Qing smoothly entered the palace where Dongfang Bingyun was.

“Hmm? Why are you back?” Dongfang Bingyun was a little surprised.

“This subordinate has forgotten to report another matter.” Li Qing lowered his head and said.

“What is it?” Dongfang Bingyun felt that something was amiss, but he couldn’t tell what was wrong.

Li Qing took out an item from his interspatial ring and held it with both hands, saying, “City Lord, please take a look. What is this?”

“Oh? Show me.”

Li Qing handed the item over and Dongfang Bingyun casually took it.

The moment Dongfang Bingyun received this item, the hall suddenly disappeared, and countless chaotic currents rose, enveloping this place.

“The world of the saber, I am the ruler, descend!”

A saber world appeared from the depths of the void, surrounding Li Qing and Dongfang Bingyun, forming an independent space. No sound could be heard from the outside world.

“How dare you!” Dongfang Bingyun scolded coquettishly, wanting to counterattack. Suddenly, something changed again. The thing in her hand turned into a rope and wrapped around her arm, wanting to tie her up.

Dongfang Bingyun’s reaction speed was naturally not slow. He hurriedly threw off the rope and retreated. Afterwards, he felt countless blades attacking from behind her, encircling her like a rainstorm.

There was a rope in the front and a blade light in the back, attacking from both sides!

Dongfang Bingyun was at the tenth level of the Xiantian realm, how could he be defeated so easily? With a flash of light in her hand, a translucent ice sword appeared in her hand, easily cutting these blades apart.

Li Qing knew that he could not delay. He had to go all out to capture Dongfang Bingyun in a short period of time. He immediately executed the Ancient God Transformation and transformed into an Ancient God Body. At the same time, he activated the Primordial Emperor Secret Technique, increasing his combat strength by two folds. A large hand grabbed towards Dongfang Bingyun.

Dongfang Bingyun was destroying the saber light behind him, and he had to be on guard against the rope in front of him. How could he withstand Li Qing’s full force attack?

Boom!

Dongfang Bingyun was sent flying by a palm strike and fell to the ground. The rope fell and tied her up.

“Who are you? You actually dared to sneak attack me at the City Lord’s Mansion!” Dongfang Bingyun shouted angrily. She was the lord of a city, not in a state of chaos in the face of danger. She possessed a supreme dignity, and even if she was tied up by a rope, her momentum would not be at a disadvantage.

“Who am I? Am I not the person you’ve always wanted to capture?” Li Qing returned to his original appearance.

“Li Qing, it’s you!” Dongfang Bingyun was shocked, “How did you get to me through the countless checkpoints in my City Lord’s Mansion?”

The city lord’s mansion might not be able to stop Xiantian level 10 experts, but it was impossible for them to arrive here without even making a sound.

Unless it was a Void Realm expert!

“How can you know my methods?” Li Qing chuckled and felt relieved when he saw Dongfang Bingyun tied up.

This rope was a replica of the famous Dao Artifact “Immortal Binding Rope” in the Central Region. It was a spirit artifact. Once tied up by this rope, even the true essence in one’s body would be unable to be used.

This was obtained by Li Qing from the unlucky Central Region Emperor of the Corpse God Burial Ground. That fellow had a total of five spirit artifacts, and the imitation Immortal Binding Rope was one of them.

Dongfang Bingyun was tied up by this imitation immortal rope, so it was impossible for her to escape unless she also had a weapon as sharp as the Heavenly Saber that cut the rope.

“What exactly do you want?” Dongfang Bingyun said coldly.

“Your temper isn’t small.” Li Qing sneered, “It was your Pearl City that wanted to murder me. Now, you still want to ask me what I want? Don’t you know my purpose?”

“Do you want to threaten me to save City Lord Su?”

“That’s right!”

“Sure, just say it properly. As long as you let me go, I will immediately ask the people below to let everyone from the Su Clan go.”

“Do you think I’ll believe you?” Li Qing snorted coldly, “I still need to use some methods on you. This is the safest way.”

Li Qing’s hands glowed with a resplendent purple light. He patted Dongfang Bingyun’s body 36 times in succession, faintly forming a large lock. This was the ultimate technique of the Devil Ancestor, the 36 Absolute Forbidden Immortal Lock.

After being struck by this Thirty-Six Absolute Forbidden Immortal Lock, his entire body was sealed, making it almost impossible to undo it. Even Void Realm experts were helpless.

At the same time, Li Qing used the Heart Devouring Flame and put it into Dongfang Bingyun’s heart.

After using these two methods, Li Qing put away the imitation Immortal Binding Rope and said, “Your entire body has been sealed. If it weren’t for my method, it would be impossible to undo it. Also, I left a flame in your heart. As long as my mind moves, I can devour your heart, so your life is completely under my control.”

Dongfang Bingyun frowned, as if he also felt troublesome.

“As long as you release the Su Family, I will naturally not make things difficult for you! At that time, I will remove these methods from you. How about it?”

“How can I believe that you will help me remove it at that time?” Dongfang Bingyun said.

“I originally had no grudges or enmity with you. It was you who wanted to deal with me, so I had no choice but to retaliate. If you really let the Su Family go, I will definitely not break my promise. Besides, I don’t need to kill you. Isn’t this just making a strong enemy for no reason?”

Dongfang Bingyun was silent for a while, then nodded and said, “Alright, I lost this time. I didn’t expect you to be able to sneak in here and capture me alive so cleanly. Your methods far exceeded my imagination. I wasn’t prepared!”

Li Qing put away the Saber Realm Dharma Phase and the two of them appeared in the hall again. The outside was very calm and did not notice such a dangerous scene happening inside.

“Let’s go. We’ll leave immediately and head to the place where City Lord Su is being held.” Li Qing said.

“City Lord Su is not imprisoned in Pearl City, but on an isolated island overseas!” Dongfang Bingyun said.

“Oh? Overseas islands? You guys are really cautious. You can’t find me in such a place no matter how powerful my methods are.” Li Qing said in a deep voice.

Dongfang Bingyun brought Li Qing out openly. Now that this woman’s life was in Li Qing’s hands, there was no need to worry that she would lose face immediately after leaving.

However, Li Qing had no choice but to guard against the possibility that this woman would leave behind some sort of code to inform others.

However, even if Pearl City discovered something unusual, it would probably take a long time. At that time, Li Qing and Dongfang Bingyun should have already left Pearl City, so they probably won’t be able to catch up.

“City Lord!” The guard at the door bowed.

“Yes, I’m going out!” Dongfang Bingyun nodded.

“Yes!” The guard said in unison.

Dongfang Bingyun brought Li Qing all the way out of the City Lord’s Mansion. No one dared to stop them on the way, and no one noticed anything unusual.

After leaving the City Lord’s Mansion, Li Qing felt relieved and said, “There is still a mole in the Su Clan. Who is this person?”

“It’s not that important. It’s just a steward of the Su Clan. He was easily bribed by our people.” Dongfang Bingyun said indifferently.

Hearing that he was not a core member of the Su Clan, Li Qing heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Before leaving, I will inform the Su Clan to leave this place first.”

Li Qing brought the Oriental Pearl and quietly went to the Su Clan’s hiding place. He sneaked inside and found the Great Elder.

When the Great Elder saw the two people appearing out of nowhere in the room, he couldn’t react and said, “Li Qing? Didn’t you leave? Why did you come back so soon?”

“It’s inconvenient to say more about this matter. My time is limited. Next, you have to do as I say.” Li Qing went straight to the point.

In the following period of time, Li Qing finished explaining everything. He also told the Great Elder about the identity of the mole and let the Great Elder handle everything.

After the Great Elder heard this, although he was a little dumbfounded, he was still an old martial artist, and he quickly understood what was going on.

“Don’t worry, I will definitely take the Su Family safely and go to the eldest young miss. You can go save the City Lord and the others. Everything is up to you!”

“Remember, after dealing with the mole, bring people away immediately. Time is of the essence! I will take care of the scouts outside for you!”

After Li Qing gave these instructions, he left this place and spent some time killing all the spies nearby.

After doing all these things, he walked out of Pearl City.

Li Qing had only entered Pearl City for half a day before he came out again. He had to admit that his efficiency was extremely high. He wanted to take advantage of the unexpected situation in Pearl City to save City Lord Su. The shorter the time, the safer it would be.

“Let’s go to the island where City Lord Su is being held!” A Yin Yang Cloud appeared beneath Li Qing’s feet and flew into the sky with Dongfang Bingyun, rushing towards the vast ocean.
