Chapter 722: Rescue (1)

Yun Qi excitedly stood up and watched Shen Yanxiao whom he had not seen for months.

"How come you come back? How was the progress in the Barren Land? Is there some trouble?" Yun Qi looked at Shen Yanxiao from top to bottom. During the months she disappeared, Shen Yanxiao grew taller but looked thinner. Looking at his disciple who seemed to be having a hard time, Yun Qi was unhappy and even annoyed with himself. Why did he have to mind the agreement between him and Ouyang Huanyu and let his disciple fight alone in such a dangerous place?

"You became tall, but also thinner, are you okay in the Barren Land?" Yun Qi felt somewhat distressed. This was his only disciple.

Shen Yanxiao nodded her head with a smile.

"I'm fine. The Emperor gave me The Rising Sun City of the eastern region, and I've built it now."

"The Rising Sun City?" Yun Qi and Shen Yanxiao had been separated since after the tournament. He had no clue about Shen Yanxiao's situation in the Barren Land, but he knew about The Rising Sun City.

"How can they have assigned you The Rising Sun, there are......wait a second!" Yun Qi suddenly realized something and looked at Shen Yanxiao in astonishment.

"You said that you have already built it?"

Shen Yanxiao nodded.

"The construction of the city walls and the city interior has been basically completed. Only the last few layouts are left; in one month at most, the city will be fully completed."

Yun Qi Yun gasped for a breath of air. Looking at Shen Yanxiao, he could hardly believe her.

"Isn't The Rising Sun City one of the five main cities of the Demon Race during those times? There were innumerable demons in there, and it just took less than half a year for you to...how..."

"Well, it's a long story." Shen Yanxiao scratched her head and suddenly dared not tell her master about the demons. She feared that it would stimulate Yun Qi, and the result would be bad.

"I came back this time because of some troubles on my side. And I would like to ask master for help."

"Whatever it is, tell me," Yun Qi said without any hesitation. Even if Shen Yanxiao asked him to go to a sea of fire, he would never decline.

Shen Yanxiao was silent for a moment, then he told Yun Qi about the curse technique mixed in The Rising Sun City water source. Yun Qi's face became more and more solemn.

"You mean, you can't determine what curse it was?" Yun Qi was very clear about his disciple's strength. Although she was young, she was already a Senior Warlock, yet she could not even distinguish the curse. It must be a curse of the Second Stage Profession Summoner.

But...

The Warlock profession had been in decline for a long time now. There were not many Warlocks that had survived in the Radiance Continent. Moreover, in the first place, those that could reach the Summoner level was only very few.

Even before the Warlock fell, there were only less than a hundred Warlocks who could reach the Second Stage Profession in the Radiance Continent, and most of these people had already lost their lives in the previous incident.

"Master, do you have a suspect?" Shen Yanxiao looked at Yun Qi's ugly expression and felt somewhat worried.

Yun Qi frowned and gently shook his head.

"I can't be sure who it is now, but the only certainty is that that person must be a survivor of the previous Warlock incident. After all, with the Warlock's current situation, let alone the Second Stage Profession Summoner, you probably won't find even a few Intermediate Warlocks. Even if someone secretly learned the curse techniques, it is not possible to be promoted into the Second Stage Profession without the guidance of a master. The gap between the Advanced Warlock and the Summoner is very big. In general, if there is no powerful one guiding you, it is impossible to break through."
