After he actually took on the task of exorcising demons, he began to carefully try to figure out the demons' thoughts.
These demons, perhaps due to various rumors and the numerous treasures he possessed, had misunderstood his strength. Much like Murong Qingming, they had likely assumed he was a Liuli Realm expert. However, according to what he had learned from Xu Qingying, none of these demons were at the Liuli Realm level. Even if he possessed powerful offensive techniques, he shouldn't have taken such a risk.
It was this very risk that made him suspicious.
The demons seemed fearful, hesitant to act rashly, intent on probing his true strength before making any further plans. They were even pretending to leave Panlong City, but Xu Qingying's intuition told her that the demons were still lurking there. Such actions were definitely not simply a massacre.
There are powerful people from the Liuli Realm in Panlong City, and reinforcements from the Xianjian Sect have also arrived. If the demons just want to massacre the city, why don’t they turn to those small cities that have no powerful people from the Liuli Realm or people from the Xianjian Sect?
Unless, this Panlong City contains something they extremely desire, and it is not just for killing lives, improving strength, and increasing lifespan in exchange for treasures.
After Lu Qing'an finished speaking, he stared at Murong Qingming with a sharp gaze. At that moment, Murong Qingming's eyes flickered slightly, as if he was hiding something, and a hint of hesitation appeared between his brows.
Upon seeing this, Lu Qing'an immediately said, "Fellow Daoist Murong, I am determined to annihilate the demons for the sake of the countless lives saved in Panlong City. Now we are allies. If you continue to hide anything, and the situation becomes unbearable, I will be heartbroken and leave Panlong City. The responsibility will then fall solely on you."
Murong Qingming smiled bitterly upon hearing this, and his admiration for Lu Qingan's meticulous thinking grew stronger. Lu Qingan saw through things that no one else had noticed. It was indeed the realm of the Glazed Realm, incomparable to the mundane.
"There is indeed one thing I have to hide," Murong Qingming finally sighed, "but my father gave me a strict instruction before his death. I have no choice but to not tell anyone, otherwise Panlong City will never have peace..."
Lu Qing'an narrowed his eyes, not expecting there to be such a hidden secret.
"Is Panlong City still peaceful now? If I leave today, you will have no choice but to seek protection from the Xianjian Sect, and the Xianjian Sect's masters may not be any easier to talk to than I am. I am just a casual cultivator, and I can still protect your secrets. If you tell them, the next moment, all the sect's leaders will know."
There was a hint of temptation in Lu Qing'an's words, wanting to find out what secrets Panlong City had. Especially since it was related to the demon clan, he had to be cautious.
Murong Qingming took a deep breath and said seriously, "If I tell my friends, I hope you won't tell anyone else! Otherwise, even if you save Panlong City from the demons, Panlong City will be destroyed because of this!"
Lu Qingan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I only care about how to resolve the crisis in Panlong City. I don't want to see people suffer. I know what to do."
Murong Qingming had no choice but to slowly reveal the truth: "To be honest, I suspect the reason the demons refused to leave is precisely because of a demon dragon in Panlong City!"
"Magic dragon?"
Lu Qing'an was slightly surprised when he heard this.
Panlong City, there really isn’t a dragon coiled around it, right?
"Ever since my ancestors founded this city, my Murong and Huang families have guarded it for generations. I don't know the exact location of the demon dragon, but our ancestral teachings tell us to guard this place and protect this secret. Now, besides me, only Huang Zhentian knows about the demon dragon. Our families have kept this secret hidden for generations, and now I wonder if these demons have learned of the demon dragon's existence and are plotting to take it."
"Huang Zhentian also knows?" Lu Qing'an asked with narrowed eyes.
"When I suspected the demons had more complex plans, I sought him out for discussion and sounded him out. He likely wasn't the one who revealed this secret. I grew up with him and know his situation well. Our two families were actually from the same clan many years ago, and we value our ancestral teachings and rules. We can compete for the position of city lord, but when it comes to the demon dragon, we absolutely won't do anything so unorthodox."
Lu Qing'an nodded. Xu Qingying's intuition did not suggest that Huang Zhentian was colluding with the demons.
"Tell me the details about this demon dragon." Lu Qing'an asked.
I was secretly speculating in my heart.
Is this demon dragon considered a fairy beast? It looks like it's still alive. If he kills it, how long can it live?!
Of course, he was just thinking about it. This evil dragon had obviously lived for a long time, and its strength must not be underestimated.
Murong Qingming said, "I have never seen this demon dragon, but according to our ancestors, this demon dragon was the mount of a top demon. Long ago, the demons attacked the human race, and the demon was killed by the human warriors. The demon dragon was also seriously injured and imprisoned nearby. In order to prevent the demon dragon from breaking the seal, a city was built here..."
"Didn't your ancestral teachings tell you to do anything on time?" Lu Qing'an seemed to have read this kind of story somewhere in his previous life, but people clearly had to do something, such as guarding the seal all the time to prevent it from being damaged and repairing it in time.
"Not really. Our ancestral teachings only say to guard the city and keep the secrets. They must not be leaked easily unless absolutely necessary." Murong Qingming also had doubts about this, but he had no answer for many years.
"Your ancestral motto really focuses on a sense of relaxation." Lu Qing'an complained helplessly.
The location of the evil dragon is unknown, and there is no need to do anything. Just keep it secret and don't tell outsiders unless it is absolutely necessary.
One word to describe.
Weird!
"Do you know how powerful this demon dragon is now? Could it have already died?" Lu Qing'an asked again.
"I'm not sure, but to be able to become the mount of the top demon, he must be at least at the level of the universe!" Murong Qingming said in a deep voice.
The top powerhouses they mentioned are the strongest group of people, the ones at the Dao Saint realm!
