Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 919 - 813: Showing Off

On this thought, Bai Yunqi felt it was unlikely.

Although the entire process was grand in scale, it did take place in his own small courtyard. Other than Xie Chenyuan and Ling Di present, not even the senior Yan Xuan knew what happened; how could outsiders find out?

It must be the fault of my true form!

He flicked out his tongue, coiling into a ball, and slowly swayed the tip of his tail, contemplating how to deal with the opponent.

That guy didn't seem like someone easy to talk to.

Jiu Qing sealed the pagoda, ensuring that the other party couldn't hear any noises from the outside world, then vanished from the riverbank.

When he reappeared, it was in a dim and eerie place.

He pushed open the door of a small wooden house under a clawing, dead tree, letting a sliver of warm light escape before the door was locked again.

"Oh, what's the occasion?" A charming girl with a loose hair bun said under the lamp light, lifting her slender eyes with a half-smile, "Something up?"

A lone beast bone held the flame above her head. Seeing her move, the bony claw quickly adjusted its position to prevent the flame from spreading wildly.

Jiu Qing weighed the pagoda in his hand, speaking concisely, "Luo Nanjia sent me to the Wilderness World to capture a White Snake Demon, aiming to extract secrets about Life Origin from it. I just had time on my trip back to inform you.

The order I got was to follow Luo Nanjia's commands, which I must adhere to, but that doesn't mean I agree.

After years of planning, now that the action is imminent, I believe we shouldn't have any side troubles. Especially since this White Snake Demon is related to Life Origin, yet his Realm isn't high, which suggests there's someone powerful behind him. Provoking him might ruin everything."

"Oh?" The girl's expression hardened, thinking Luo Nanjia was indeed still too petty, losing himself after gaining power.

With so many treasures and subordinates at his disposal, instead of focusing on accomplishing his tasks, he actually used a treasure to search for Life Origin and even directly captured the demon at such a critical moment!

"Too selfish; where there's one, there's two." Jiu Qing continued, "Rumor has it his lifespan is short, so he voluntarily took on the Death Warrior's duty. If the rumors are true, he must've been looking for a chance to extend his life from the start.

If there's any mishap, no one but you could save the situation, so I'm telling you everything to prepare you early."

The girl smiled in frustration, closing the book scroll in her hand with a cold snort, "How convenient for you, just inform me after doing things and wait for me to clean up the mess!

I advise you to think it over well, the order is Luo Nanjia's, and the task is yours. If something really goes wrong, it'll be easy for him to shirk blame, but you..."

Jiu Qing was fully aware that if anything went amiss, he'd have to bear the blame if his superior shifted it, which was why he specifically came over to lay everything out clearly.

"Keep your own evidence, so you don't end up taking the fall." She reopened the scroll, gesturing for the white bone flame to float over and stop steadily.

"Thanks." Jiu Qing put a Memory Stone on the table and turned to leave, "I have to go, if I delay too long he'll get suspicious."

The door opened and closed again, and the girl really had no interest in reading. She stared at the Memory Stone for a moment, then picked it up to watch it once.

This guy, being personally groomed by herself, kept evidence so thoroughly that it could actually remove his responsibility.

With evidence handed over like this, should she seize the opportunity to take over?

She hesitated, worried that such a small piece of evidence might not suffice and instead alert the snake.

The Demon Realm has been eyeing the Wilderness World for a long time.

It was said that the previous Demon King wanted to invade it all at once, expanding the entire Wilderness into the Demon Realm's territory, but he died before succeeding.

The new Demon King inherited this ambition, opting for a clever strategy instead of brute force.

Numerous strategies have formed a vast trap, ready to ensnare it, but who would've expected that numerous undercover agents were removed by the Demon Realm Alliance recently! 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

They still haven't figured out where the flaw was, and the Bloodthirst Hall, responsible for transfers, suffered significant losses. Thankfully, those were just minor offshoots that didn't reach the core, so the invasion plan remains unthreatened. However, she got a hold of vital evidence and was kicked out of the most important action team.

It's known that Lord Demon King always rewards based on merit; if she doesn't contend, just watching those self-serving officials rise to power wouldn't do!

"Life Origin... no wonder Luo Nanjia was tempted. I seem to understand why the Demon King insists on capturing the Wilderness World." The girl leaned against the back of her chair, pondering quietly.

Elsewhere, Jiu Qing left the small house and flickered back into the dim side hall, placing the Seven-Layered Glazed Treasure Tower on the table, speaking concisely as before, "With the pagoda's current power, it can detain the White Snake Demon until dawn. After that, either release or kill him, but this pagoda cannot be reopened or used for three days."

"Snap!"

Luo Nanjia snapped his fingers, lighting candles across the hall, illuminating the magnificent side hall with bright firelight within seconds.

"No hurry, let him be for a while." His voice was cold, his appearance like a twelve or thirteen-year-old child with a round face and eyes, wearing a delicately embroidered little Magical Robe, looking cute yet exuding a sense of menace from his matured gaze.

An old man with a hoarse voice hobbled over, pressing his wrinkled face close to the pagoda, "Hmph, the Golden Body Divine Statue inside the pagoda suppresses demon energy, it's not too late to question him after he's too weak to resist.

Tsk, tsk, is this the being that embodies a soul with Life Origin? He even has horns, and with so much Life Origin, is he planning to Transform into a Dragon?"

Luo Nanjia held a yellowing, tattered scroll in his arms, flipping through it with a sneer, "Who knows? This Book of Life and Death is both broken and an imitation; while it can be called a Divine Artifact, it's far inferior to the real Book of Life and Death."
