Chapter 888: Refreshing One's Worldview (Second Update, requesting everything)

The person who arrived was naturally Qingmu King Luo Yuanjun; he was, of course, the reinforcements Li Changsheng had summoned.

Among the people Li Changsheng knew, only Qingmu King Luo Yuanjun could stop Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong.

Double-Character Kings also have varying levels of strength; if the already fallen Hundred Victories King stood at the peak of the Double-Character King pyramid, then Qingmu King, who possesses three Demon Emperor Level Demon Beasts, is situated in the middle, while Dark Night King, who only has one Demon Emperor Level Demon Beast, is located in the lower-middle tier, and the very bottom tier is naturally occupied by those Double-Character Kings who possess no Demon Emperor Level Demon Beasts.

Long before heading to Yecheng, Li Changsheng had made preparations in advance, crushing a Spirit Jade Pendant to establish contact with Luo Yuanjun; in the end, Li Changsheng owed Luo Yuanjun a favor, not asking him to fight to the death with Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong, but merely to stall him for one day.

With Li Changsheng's current strength, Yuanling Academy was no longer sufficient to serve as his backing, and therefore, Li Changsheng was eager to owe Luo Yuanjun more favors.

The more favors he owed, the more Luo Yuanjun would naturally try his best to protect him until they were repaid.

This time, Luo Yuanjun's willingness to offend Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong in order to protect Li Changsheng naturally stemmed from his own considerations.

For one, Li Changsheng was still of great use to Luo Yuanjun; judging by Li Changsheng's age, he could continue to participate in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm for ten more sessions and would likely monopolize first place.

Luo Yuanjun had a very solid backing and was confident in remaining the chief examiner for the Southeastern Region; as long as Li Changsheng continued to monopolize the top spot, he could bring him a massive amount of Merit Profound Yellow Qi.

Secondly, Luo Yuanjun highly valued Li Changsheng's potential, believing he had the chance to become the next Emperor or even a Sovereign, and wanted to befriend Li Changsheng in advance.

Of course, Luo Yuanjun was still very curious about Li Changsheng's secrets, but unlike Dou Zhangsheng, he stood in a higher position and did not know if Li Changsheng's secrets would be of use to him.

It was for this reason that Luo Yuanjun chose a long-term approach; this way, he could not only obtain a large amount of Merit Profound Yellow Qi but also befriend Li Changsheng, this potential stock, while he was still 'weak'.

As for offending Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong, Luo Yuanjun was not afraid; not to mention that Dou Cangqiong could not defeat him, his backing alone was enough to ensure that Dou Cangqiong would not commit any irrational acts.

When Qingmu King Luo Yuanjun appeared, Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong sensed that things were going poorly, but he still had to bite the bullet and fly out to begin negotiations with Luo Yuanjun.

While the two Double-Character Kings were negotiating, a member of the Li Clan and an Instructor from Yuanling Academy within Li City Fortress both crushed the jade pendants in their hands, transmitting information to Li Changsheng, who was thousands of miles away.

This was a one-time communication treasure that Li Changsheng had imitated based on the Spirit Jade Pendant given to him by Luo Yuanjun; as a peak Refining Master, the difficulty of imitating a Spirit Jade Pendant was not great for him.

Although the transmission distance of the imitation was not as good as the Spirit Jade Pendant, the gap was not very large, and it could quickly transmit information within a range of several thousand miles.

Most importantly, the Spirit Jade Pendant imitated by Li Changsheng excelled in its subtlety, which was also a result of his improvements.

These two people had been arranged by Li Changsheng in advance; as soon as Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong left Li City Fortress, or Qingmu King Luo Yuanjun came out to stop Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong, they would send information to Li Changsheng.

In this way, Li Changsheng would make adjustments based on the actual situation.

In fact, it was not just these two people; the number of people Li Changsheng had arranged was no less than ten, basically all clan members or Instructors and students of Yuanling Academy.

The reason for doing so was mainly to be prepared for any eventuality; it concerned his life and livelihood, and if he entrusted the wrong people, he would be finished, as the current Li Changsheng could not possibly be a match for Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong.

Besides these, Li Changsheng had also secretly arranged several backup plans to deal with various situations. For example, if Luo Yuanjun did not stop the Dark Night King, or was persuaded by the Dark Night King, or even if the two joined forces, he would initiate the backup plans.

It was just that doing so would inevitably come at a great cost, and the clan would likely be wiped out.

In the Yecheng Imperial Palace, Li Changsheng observed for a moment; at this moment, Aixi and the other Demon Pets had already gained a slight upper hand, but they were unable to take down the two Saint Grade Spirit Pets.

When the signs of a King's fall appeared, both the Saint Grade Flood Dragon and the Li Fire Phoenix knew that something was terribly wrong, as this likely meant that Dou Zhangsheng had already fallen.

Thus, the moment Li Changsheng appeared, the Flood Dragon forcibly withstood the offensive from Kailan and the other Demon Pets and immediately fled in the direction of Li City Fortress.

On the other side, the Li Fire Phoenix's reaction was a beat slower, and because it did not have skin as thick as the Flood Dragon, it could only dodge while fleeing.

Unfortunately, Aixi's speed was not inferior to the Li Fire Phoenix, and under its entanglement, the Li Fire Phoenix's speed could never be increased.

"Ignore the Flood Dragon, intercept the Li Fire Phoenix for me!"

Li Changsheng quickly made his choice; he also wanted to keep the Flood Dragon, as that would weaken the strength of Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong.

But if he did that, Dark Night King Dou Cangqiong would likely come to kill him regardless of the consequences, and at that time, Qingmu King Luo Yuanjun might not necessarily be willing to stop the Dark Night King.

Although Luo Yuanjun's strength was greater, the gap between the two was not enough to crush the other, and even if he defeated the Dark Night King, there would inevitably be significant losses.

Therefore, Luo Yuanjun would likely not risk his life against the Dark Night King for Li Changsheng's sake.

Under such circumstances, Li Changsheng could only let the Flood Dragon go.

In fact, even if he did not let the Flood Dragon go, he might not be able to catch up.

Under Li Changsheng's command, the remaining Demon Pets began to surround and intercept the Li Fire Phoenix.

In the sky, the Li Fire Phoenix felt very panicked; in its hundreds of years of experience, it had never encountered such an absurd situation as today.

A Pseudo-King had powerfully killed a King, and the key was that this King was in his own base camp and had the support of two Saint Grade Spirit Pets.

With such a luxurious lineup, the result was still being killed by Li Changsheng across ranks on the spot; even now, the Li Fire Phoenix still had an absurd feeling of living in a dream.

This completely refreshed its perception.

A Pseudo-King killing a King across ranks—such a thing had never happened in history; let alone killing a King, one could not even find someone who could fight a King to a draw, yet the other party had actually done it.

Taking advantage of the Li Fire Phoenix's chaotic state of mind, Baitian and Heiye successfully blocked its path, releasing black and white Light Flame Giant Swords to slash toward the Li Fire Phoenix.

The Li Fire Phoenix had to spit out a Flame Pillar to annihilate the two Light Flame Giant Swords first.

But after being obstructed by Baitian and Heiye, Aixi and Kailan caught up; their main goal was not to inflict damage on the Li Fire Phoenix, but mainly to entangle it.

As long as the remaining Demon Beast-level Demon Pets arrived, the Li Fire Phoenix naturally would not be able to jump around for long.
