Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

At the same time, inside Jinling City.

A monk was walking cautiously on the street.

Although it was just dark, the streets were already deserted. Every house closed its doors and turned off the lights, not even daring to make a sound.

This matter started a month ago.

Since a month ago, people have been missing in Jinling City one after another.

At first, the government did not pay attention to it, but when more and more people disappeared and no news could be found, the court realized that something was wrong.

By this time, according to investigations, dozens of people had disappeared in Jinling City!

After the court started investigating, they were shocked to realize that the matter was not as simple as a human trafficker committing murder.

Because as early as half a year ago, people in Jinling City began to report to the officials that their livestock had been lost.

At first it was just rabbits, chickens, ducks and fish, so there were many civil disputes, which caused a long headache for the government at the time.

But later things got a little bigger. First came sheep, which were relatively small animals, and then cattle and horses.

Even later, even the official horses of the government began to be lost.

Then came the children, ranging from infants and toddlers to adults in their twenties and thirties. As time went by, more and more people disappeared.

As a result, the entire Jinling City began to panic.

Jinling City had no choice but to report the matter.

The news reached Zhao Kuangyin's ears, and he keenly realized that the current situation must be closely related to the practitioners.

So he immediately sent monks from the army to check.

These three monks have all experienced in the military. Although they have not experienced any life-and-death fights, they have at least seen blood.

At first, these three people did not pay attention to the abnormality in this place. They were just sneaky and sneaky people, so what kind of trouble could they cause?
And according to their past experience, it is extremely difficult for practitioners to make major changes in strength within half a year.

But when two of the three people were lost, the last remaining person began to panic.

Both of them disappeared for no apparent reason when they went out at night, and were never heard from again.

It was only then that the last remaining monk finally realized that the person hidden here was not easy to mess with.

So he hurriedly wanted to leave Jinling and go back to ask for help.

But what made him despair was that he couldn't even leave Jinling City!
As long as you walk out of the Jinling City Gate and walk around for an hour and a half, you will be back where you were!
He can't get out as a monk, let alone an ordinary person!

People inside can't get out, but people outside can walk in.

But it has been five days since he found out that he could not leave Jinling City.

In the past five days, everyone has been in danger, and the entire Jinling City has almost come to a standstill!

The most important thing is that there is not much food in the city.

It doesn’t take much. If you are locked up for another five or six days, Jinling City will collapse on its own!

What surprised Yang Wen was that he had not heard of any missing persons in the past five days.

Occasionally, people disappeared, which was purely man-made. Yang Wen only needed to go and take a look in person to understand whether it was the unknown practitioner or someone who killed someone.

The pressure of survival forced Yang Wen to start thinking about who the unknown practitioner was and why he did what he did.

Yang Wen searched all over the place where the person in the dark might exist, and after careful investigation, he soon discovered the clues.

At first, that person, or some kind of creature, was not very strong, otherwise he would not have chosen small animals such as cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, and geese to start his attack.

But then, the monster showed amazing growth.

At first, it seemed that he needed to use claws or bites to assist in hunting, but later, no traces were left at the scene.

Later, the monster set its sights on humans, even monks.

If the opponent has the ability to block the entire Jinling City from the beginning, then naturally there is no need to target those small animals.

So it can only explain that this monster can increase its strength by devouring flesh and blood!

By the time they came here, the monster had grown to the point where it could deal with the monks!

And Yang Wen estimated that the monster probably attacked from behind, otherwise it would definitely not be their opponent from the front!
It's a pity that his two companions were not prepared at all, and were actually succeeded by the monster!

After devouring his two companions, the monster gradually gained the ability to seal off the entire Jinling City.

But that doesn't mean the monster can't be dealt with.

Otherwise, the other party could have found him and devoured him long ago. Why bother to block the entire Jinling City?
And there must be certain restrictions on the opponent's moves.

Because of the matter of blocking Jinling City, Yang Wen thought that he couldn't do it at all. How much mana and how much formation would be needed?

Therefore, Yang Wen speculated that the opponent itself was not strong, and blocking Jinling City might have some special ability.

After careful consideration, Yang Wen decided to take a gamble.

Because those people were defenseless and alone when they disappeared.

Even for mortals, the same is true.

So Yang Wen felt that the other party should be very afraid of humans, or that he could only really take action when someone was alone.

So since the lockdown, Yang Wen has asked everyone to be careful and try to be more than two people when going out. Even when going to the toilet, there is someone to accompany you.

I don’t know if this method worked or if the monster was brewing something secretly, but in short, there have been no missing persons in Jinling City in the past few days.

But Yang Wen knew that things could not continue to drag on like this.

If the city is closed for a few more days, Jinling City itself will collapse.

So Yang Wen decided to take the initiative and lure the snake out of its hole.

No matter what, at least you have to figure out who your opponent is!

So on the surface, Yang Wen is alone now, but in fact, there are people in the houses along the route he is traveling.

At that time, all it takes is one command and the whole street will be lit up!

Yang Wen believed that the monster would be unable to restrain its desires. Once he showed up, the monster would definitely attack him!
Yang Wen looked down at the talisman on his body and breathed a sigh of relief.

That was a warning talisman. There had been nothing unusual for such a long time. I figured the monster wouldn't appear tonight.

Yang Wen didn't expect to be able to lure this monster out at once, so he wasn't too disappointed.

But the moment he relaxed his mind, a smelly evil wind blew in his face.

Yang Wen was shocked!

In his haste, he only had time to step back and subconsciously thrust his flying sword forward.

A feeling of being stabbed came from the flying sword in his hand.

But before Yang Wen could be happy, a huge force instantly came from his chest.

Yang Wen's body immediately flew out like a broken sack.

After landing, Yang Wen rolled several times and lost all his strength.

Among the three monks who came this time, Yang Wen had the highest cultivation level and had reached the peak of Qi refining.

The remaining two people are both in the middle stage of Qi refining, which is why Yang Wen is confident that he can deal with the monster.

But when he came into contact with it for the first time, Yang Wen felt despair because he found that he seemed unable to deal with the monster at all!
When he raised his eyes, the monster had disappeared and could no longer be seen.

But Yang Wen's nerves kept beating. It was the instinct deep in his body warning him.

Yang Wen gritted his teeth and did not send a signal, but stood up with difficulty, preparing for the next upcoming attack.

He didn't know if the backup he prepared would be useful, but he had to at least give it a try!
Yang Wen looked around nervously, trying to find traces of the monster.

"Is this all you have the courage to do?" Yang Wen suddenly sneered with disdain.

"Come on, let me see who you are!"

Facts have proved that although the method of stimulating generals is old-fashioned, it is also effective enough. Sure enough, after several minutes of ridicule, the monster finally appeared.

A black wind blew past, and what appeared in front of Yang Wen was a green-faced and fanged monster.

Just looking at that huge body is enough to make people feel desperate and unable to extricate themselves.

"You..." Yang Wen opened his mouth wide.

……

Beijing.

"Is there someone missing in the capital?" Zhao Kuangyin's pupils suddenly shrank.

Just like Jinling City, people in the capital also began to disappear.

Such a similar case immediately reminded Zhao Kuangyin of the Jinling City case.

Out of caution, Zhao Kuangyin immediately began to send his monks to take over the case.

But what shocked Zhao Kuangyin was that even his own monks couldn't find any problems!

He originally wanted Zhao Defang to take action, but after thinking about it, Zhao Defang was preparing to conquer the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, so it might not be a good idea to disturb him now.

Even if Zhao Defang takes action, he may not be able to find out the problem.

It would be better to ask Qin Tian for help directly.

Just do it as soon as you think of it, so this matter was placed in front of Qin Tian.

"Is someone missing?" Qin Tian frowned slightly.

It must not be a simple case that makes Zhao Kuangyin take the initiative to ask for help.

Qin Tian did not go to see the files, but released his spiritual consciousness, covering the entire capital.

Qin Tian can easily find the mastermind hiding in the dark by finding the place with abnormal aura in the capital.

"Got you!"

Qin Tian's figure disappeared, and the next second he appeared on a residence somewhere.

The residences here have long been uninhabited and have been vacant for a long time, but in Qin Tian's eyes, this place has long become the nest of the monster!

Qin Tian stretched out his big hand and grabbed the monster out of its nest.

Demonic energy overflowed in the lair, and as the monster was caught in Qin Tian's hand, the demonic energy in the residences began to slowly dissipate.

What appeared in Qin Tian's hands was an ugly little monster. His fangs had not yet developed, and his eyebrows were not that ferocious. After seeing it too much, he might even feel a little cute.

But this little monster was restless in Qin Tian's hands, twisting its body and trying to bite Qin Tian's palm.

Qin Tian frowned slightly.

"This thing..."

"what exactly is it?"

Even Qin Tian couldn't figure out the origin of this monster.

This thing looks like a demon but not a demon, looks like a human but not a human being, but it combines the aura of both. It looks really weird.

"Let me see where you little thing came from!"

Qin Tian's eyes burst out with astonishing light, and in an instant he saw the little monster's body structure clearly from the inside out.

After reading it, Qin Tian's expression suddenly became extremely strange and ugly.

The next second, he stretched out his hand to crush the monster and expel the demonic energy from the place.

Qin Tian did not stop there, but released his spiritual consciousness while flying, scanning all the cities in the world.

This sweep really brought out a lot of hidden monsters.

These monsters come in different shapes and sizes. The big ones have grown to several meters high, while the small ones are only as big as a mouse.

And all these things were picked out by Qin Tian and cleared one by one.

……

"What on earth are you?" Yang Wen asked with trembling lips.

In the first half of his life, he had never seen such a monster. At this time, no matter how good his concentration was, he was extremely flustered.

"Me? What?" The monster didn't seem to have much intelligence, but it could understand human speech.

"I'm not a thing, I'm a human being." The monster said slowly.

"My name is... Wen..."

The monster's words were too vague, and Yang Wen couldn't hear what he was saying at all.

"What on earth are you going to do!"

Yang Wen slowly reached his hand behind his back and grasped the talisman he had prepared earlier.

"Eat you." The monster named Wen said emotionlessly.

The next second, Yang Wen activated the spell, a bright light flashed, and the whole street suddenly lit up like daylight.

In an instant, dozens of strong men jumped out of the surrounding rooms.

These strong men held torches in their hands, and countless lights suddenly illuminated the street as bright as day!

The monster's pupils shrank suddenly, and it subconsciously wanted to escape.

How could Yang Wen allow the monster to escape like this? He activated his flying sword and rushed forward.

A sword pierced the monster's heart, but the monster continued to roar and run away as if nothing was wrong.

Yang Wen was stunned for a moment.

Gradually, the monster seemed to realize that these people could not hurt it at all, and its speed also slowed down.

The strong men around him look powerful, but they are actually just for show.

Seeing this green-faced and fanged monster, I was already frightened and couldn't walk. It was a good thing that I didn't escape, let alone launch an attack on the monster.

Therefore, Yang Wen was the only one on the field who had the ability to cause damage to monsters.

But he was seriously injured in the first fight with the monster, and the flying sword he just shot was his last move.

At this time, Yang Wen was at the end of his strength and was unable to fight anymore.

"Monster, if you don't catch him without restraint, I can still spare your life!" Yang Wen scolded sternly.

The monster stopped and looked at Yang Wen carefully.

Yang Wen was a little panicked, but he pretended to be indifferent.

"It turns out...you were lying to me!"

The monster seemed to be greatly stimulated and started to go crazy.

Yang Wen didn't know where he had exposed his flaw, but now he had no way to escape and could only cheer up.

Now he doesn't even have the flying sword in his hand, so he can only face this two-person tall monster with his bare hands!

The monster roared and rushed over.

At this moment, there was a crisp sound.

Yang Wen only felt a white light flash before his eyes, and the monster disappeared.

Looking up, Yang Wen saw Qin Tian slowly landing.

Yang Wen sat down on the ground with a wry smile on his face: "Teacher... why are you... here." (End of this chapter)
