Urban Wolf King

Chapter 1277 1188: Return to the City

Inside Qinrong Palace, Qin Shousheng and Ji Congjing had fled into the first main hall. Seeing the danger was gone, they were still unwilling to give up and were searching all the corners.

Finally, in a corner of one of the halls, they dug out a book coffer. When they opened it, they saw an ancient-looking bamboo slip inside, with three characters written on it: "Dual Cultivation Technique."

Opening the bamboo slip, they saw it recorded a spell for dual cultivation between man and woman; through this spell, the cultivation of both partners could rapidly improve.

Seeing this, Ji Congjing and Qin Shousheng were overjoyed as if they had found a priceless treasure; the look Qin Shousheng cast at Ji Congjing was filled with intense lust.

Qin Shousheng had long harbored improper thoughts about Ji Congjing but had never had the chance; now he could finally possess her with a perfectly legitimate excuse.

"Lady, the Dual Cultivation Technique—why don't the two of us give it a try?" Qin Shousheng said to Ji Congjing with a smile.

Seeing Qin Shousheng's ugly appearance, disgust flashed in Ji Congjing's eyes, but on the surface she put on a delighted expression and smiled at Qin Shousheng. "Of course, Shousheng, now our cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds."

As she spoke, Ji Congjing kept throwing seductive glances at Qin Shousheng, but in secret she reached a hand into the book coffer and grabbed the Scroll in one go.

However, just as Ji Congjing grabbed the Scroll, Qin Shousheng also reached out and seized it at the same time.

The two refused to give way, both pulling backward with force, and the Scroll was immediately torn in half by them, each of them ending up with one half.

"You…" Ji Congjing glared furiously at Qin Shousheng.

"Lady, you're going to dual cultivate with me anyway. It works out nicely—half for you, half for me." Qin Shousheng let out a sinister smile.

Seeing this, Ji Congjing could only feel helpless. She wanted to snatch it over, but she had no absolute confidence.

Just then, the entire Qinrong Palace began to tremble slowly, and from within the palace an invisible force surged out, pushing toward the two of them.

"Not good, Qinrong Palace is about to disappear." Ji Congjing cried out.

"We must leave quickly, otherwise we'll vanish along with Qinrong Palace for a thousand years." Qin Shousheng tucked his half of the Scroll into his robe, grabbed Ji Congjing, and ran out.

Ji Congjing had no choice but to put away the other half of the Scroll and flee out of Qinrong Palace.

The tremors of Qinrong Palace had already alarmed all the Demon Cultivators; everyone hurriedly fled outside.

In a short while, several hundred Demon Cultivators had escaped from Qinrong Palace and returned to the bank of the Yangtze River.

Looking back, they saw a massive whirlpool gently turning in the Yangtze's waters, and then the aura of Qinrong Palace beneath the river vanished at the same time.

"Qinrong Palace has disappeared again."

"I fear it won't appear again until the next millennium."

On the riverbank, the Demon Cultivators were all talking at once in hushed whispers.

Among them, some like Ji Congjing had obtained one or two Magical Treasures and secretly rejoiced; some had not gotten a single Magical Treasure and were dejected; and some had even lost their lives in Qinrong Palace.

They all thought Qinrong Palace would reappear in the next millennium, but they did not know that this Qinrong Palace would never appear again.

Once the whirlpool on the river's surface had disappeared, the Demon Cultivators all scattered and left.

Ji Congjing and Qin Shousheng also turned to leave the riverbank, looking for their carriage.

The two ran about a mile out and finally found their carriage, but as soon as they saw it, they both froze.

Because they saw that there was still someone sitting on the carriage.

This person sat on the carriage with a blank expression and a cold face.

"You're not dead!" Ji Congjing exclaimed in delight, great joy instantly flashing in her eyes.

For the one sitting on the carriage was Wang Yan in his white robe.

Wang Yan raised his head and glanced at Ji Congjing, saying indifferently, "How could I be dead? It was just a gust of wind."

Ji Congjing was overjoyed, thinking Wang Yan had simply taken the Demon Cultivators' methods for a gust of wind. She immediately assumed Wang Yan was an ordinary person and didn't bother to explain. She got onto the carriage at once and headed back to Nanyang County.

To Ji Congjing, Wang Yan was nothing more than a male pet. The fact that Wang Yan hadn't been killed in that chaotic Array was an unexpected joy for her.

When Qin Shousheng saw Wang Yan, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, but he didn't want to anger Ji Congjing, so he didn't lash out. Although he too climbed into the carriage, his eyes kept flickering as he mulled over how to kill Wang Yan without anyone knowing.

The carriage galloped all the way, and in just a few days they returned to Nanyang County's city.

After they returned to the County City, the carriage went straight back to Ji Congjing's residence without stopping.

Along the way, Ji Congjing had exhausted every scheme she could think of in an attempt to snatch the other half of the Scroll from Qin Shousheng.

But Qin Shousheng was no easy character either; no matter what methods Ji Congjing used, she never succeeded.

Helpless, once they were back at the residence, Ji Congjing had no choice but to shrink into the bedchamber with Qin Shousheng and concentrate on studying the Dual Cultivation Technique, temporarily having no time to bother with Wang Yan.

This was exactly what Wang Yan wanted. He immediately used an Array to seal his own room and began stabilizing his Demon Venerable realm.

Over ten days later, Wang Yan opened his eyes. His gaze now held less sharpness and a bit more serenity.

At first glance, Wang Yan's eyes seemed gentle and mild, as if he were more like an ordinary person.

But if one looked closely, one would discover that beneath that gentleness his eyes were deep and unfathomable.

This was a return to simplicity, a sign that Wang Yan's cultivation had completely stabilized at the Demon Venerable realm.

After stabilizing his cultivation, Wang Yan spent another three days familiarizing himself with Magical Treasures such as Qinrong Palace and the Ten Thousand Blades Saber. Only then did he take out the Second Level of the Rejuvenation Technique.

At this point, the Second Level had been completely unlocked, but when Wang Yan began to read it, he found it obscure and difficult to understand. After finishing it once, he actually felt dizzy and light-headed.

A moment later, when he came to, Wang Yan couldn't help but be shocked.

This Second Level of the Rejuvenation Technique was simply too profound and mysterious. With his current Demon Venerable cultivation, he actually ended up dizzy and light-headed?

After pondering it carefully again, Wang Yan immediately understood.

Back when he learned the First Level of the Rejuvenation Technique, it had stated that only after one was thoroughly familiar with the First Level could one understand the Second Level.

It seemed he had not yet fully mastered the mysteries of the First Level.

Thinking of this, Wang Yan put away the Second Level of the Rejuvenation Technique at once.

After all, time was tight right now; he had no leisure to slowly puzzle out the Second Level of the Rejuvenation Technique.

Wang Yan raised his head and looked toward the courtyard; the entire situation in the courtyard fell completely within his sight.

Not far from him, in one of the rooms, Ji Congjing and Qin Shousheng were naked in each other's arms, practicing the Dual Cultivation Technique.

Just as Wang Yan looked over at the two, their movements happened to reach their most intense point. At that instant of peak intensity, their bodies suddenly jolted, and then their cultivation bases abruptly broke through at the same time.

Originally, both of them were at Demon Emperor Great Perfection; with this breakthrough, they had already reached Demon Saint Initial Tier.

Seeing this, Wang Yan raised an eyebrow and smiled faintly, thinking: This Dual Cultivation Technique isn't bad—mutual support and enhancement. If I used this Dual Cultivation Technique, Xue'er's and Feiting's cultivation would skyrocket.

With that thought, a smile on his face, Wang Yan stepped out the door and walked toward Ji Congjing and Qin Shousheng's room.

However, just as Wang Yan walked out of his room, he saw more than a dozen male pets standing in front of him, each holding a wooden club, all smirking coldly as they surrounded him.
