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

By the time those people reacted, Xu Fu had disappeared without a trace and they could not enter the city.

On the city wall, Duanmu Yu, the young master of the Duanmu family, stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the man in black at the city gate with an indifferent expression, showing no emotion.

Next to Duanmu Yu stood a plain-looking young man with a complex temperament. At first glance, he looked like a swindling sorcerer, but upon closer inspection, one could see the temperament of an immortal.

When Duanmu Yu first met this person, he was also confused by this temperament and could not determine whether he was right or wrong.

"Master Duanmu, these people have left, and my mission is completed. See you later!" Xu Fu clasped his fists and said goodbye to the young man in white beside him, intending to leave.

Duanmu Yu had not figured out the identity of this person yet, so he naturally refused to let him go. He immediately stopped Xu Fu and said with a smile, "You have done a great service to the Duanmu family. I feel guilty if you don't stay and have a drink with me before leaving!"

"There's no need to drink. If you really feel guilty, Mr. Duanmu, why don't you tell me the life story of this girl?" Xu Fu pushed Duanmu Yu's hand away, took out Rong'er's portrait, looked at him and said.

Duanmu Yu only glanced at her and then looked away, with a cunning smile that had not changed for thousands of years on his face, and replied calmly: "I don't know this girl."

"You don't know her?" Xu Fu snorted in surprise, "Master Duanmu doesn't even know this girl, and he still drives those people away?"

"After all, he is being arrogant and domineering on my Duanmu family's territory. If we don't take action to discipline him, where will the prestige of the Duanmu family be?" Duanmu Yu had already expected Xu Fu to ask this question, so he immediately laughed and explained.

Duanmu Yu's answer clearly showed that he did not take Xu Fu's report seriously, which was indeed the case.

The entire southern Xinjiang is under the control of the Duanmu family. The young master of the Duanmu family is naturally well aware of any slight disturbance in this area.

If it is said that Xu Fu provided any useful clues, that is indeed the case, but he did help Duanmu Yu and lead Fusu's people out of southern Xinjiang.

But then again, even if Xu Fu did not take action, the Duanmu family could deal with these people, so his help was actually dispensable.

Xu Fu was not aware of this at first, and wanted to take this opportunity to inquire about Rong'er's background. Now he realized that Duanmu Yu was not an easy person to deal with.

"Since Master Duanmu doesn't know her, there's no need to drink the wine. I have to go back and report to my master, so I'll say goodbye now!" After Xu Fu finished speaking, his figure disappeared on the city wall.

Duanmu Yu could feel that this person was very powerful, so he did not try to stop him. He just stood there and looked in the direction of Xianyang City.

"Young Master, this man's movements are suspicious, just like those men in black. Shouldn't we stop him?" The guard behind Duanmu Yu stepped forward and asked.

"He is very powerful, and his cultivation may even be higher than mine. We can't stop him." Duanmu Yu spoke the truth and directly told the information he knew.

"Then young master, should we tell the head of the family about Miss Rong's affairs now?" the guard asked again, and his words seemed to mention the girl who had been making headlines in southern Xinjiang recently.

"She said it herself that she is not from the Duanmu family. Any news she has naturally has nothing to do with our Duanmu family." Duanmu Yu retracted his gaze and answered calmly.

After he said this, the guard naturally understood what to do. He nodded and ordered others to block the news about the men in black and Xu Fu.

The gates of the main city of Southern Xinjiang were closed, and the men in black could not continue their investigation. The time given by Fusu had passed, so they could only return to Xianyang City.

Xu Fu could have returned earlier, but he was worried that these people would cause trouble again, so he followed them all the way.

Therefore, he returned with them. The journey took two days, and the round trip took a total of less than half a decade.

When they arrived at Xianyang City, they failed to find their respective masters.

Because both Yang Ling and Fusu entered Donghuang Mountain three days ago.

At this time, outside the East Desert Mountain, there was a huge barrier that covered the sky and the sun, completely isolating the inside and outside of the mountain into two different worlds.

This line of defense was carefully set up by Rong'er, but Yang Ling still chose to remain in place.

In recent days, thanks to the continuous nourishment of the spiritual plant, the power of Yujue is recovering rapidly, but the spirit of the weapon is still dormant, which makes Yang Ling dare not act rashly for fear of damaging his meridians.

He knew very well that if he rashly damaged his meridians at this moment, if he encountered an accident, it would be difficult for the few people around him to save him from danger. Because of this, Yang Ling always adhered to the principle of not taking action easily unless he was in a desperate situation.

The secret passage leading from Xianyang City to Donghuang Mountain was dug very deep, at least ten meters deep, but there was no trace of the blood river.

At first, Yang Ling even doubted whether his judgment was wrong, until Rong'er pointed out the strong smell of blood in the air. They wielded the hoe and dug deeper again, and blood poured in. Only then did they become sure that the secret passage was indeed dug in the right direction.

After the secret passage was opened, all those involved in the excavation were brought back to Xianyang City.

During this period, Xianyang City encountered another bloody rain. Although it was smaller in scale and not as powerful as the last time, Rong'er quickly opened a barrier to isolate everything from the outside.

When the residents of Xianyang City saw that someone was protecting them, they stopped clamoring to leave. After all, this was where they grew up, and who would be willing to really give it up?

Fusu didn't care much about this because he was following Yang Ling along the Blood Channel into the East Desert Mountain.

There are only four people in the barrier of Donghuang Mountain: Yang Ling, Xiang Yu, Rong'er and Fusu.

Yang Ling strictly ordered that no outsiders were allowed to approach, and Fusu did not even bring anyone from the Black Ice Platform.

"Master, are you sure that the formation for worshiping Lord Shiva is here?" Fusu stood on the ruins, looked at Yang Ling curiously, and asked.

"Not sure yet." Yang Ling shook his head gently, his eyes fell on the ruins under Fusu's feet, and reminded him lightly, "What you are standing on are bones deposited for thousands of years. I'm afraid they can't bear your weight..."

Before he could finish his words, the bones under Fusu's feet broke under the heavy weight and collapsed, taking Fusu with him to the ground.

Fusu was caught off guard and after falling, he instinctively reached out to support himself on the ground, trying to find a foothold to stand up.

However, at the moment his palm touched the ground, the area under his feet suddenly lit up with a dazzling green light, which was terrifying whether viewed from a distance or close up.

Before Fusu could stand up, he was sucked by the force under his feet and was about to be buried by the bones. He struggled hurriedly and called for help from Yang Ling: "Save me, Master, save me..."

"Rong'er!" Yang Ling also noticed Fusu's situation and immediately signaled to Rong'er beside him. "Yes, sir!" Rong'er nodded slightly, and before she finished speaking, she had already reached out to Fusu.

Rong'er's hands are like soft works of art, pleasing to the eye.

But Fusu had no time to appreciate it at the moment. He grabbed Rong'er's hand without hesitation. Before he could even give her a grateful look, he felt a powerful force throwing him out.

"Bang!" The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard, followed by Fusu crawling out from the pile of bones, covered in dust and screaming.

The pain in his body made him ignore his image and he could only cry out in pain to relieve it.

Fortunately, no one present paid attention to his embarrassment. Yang Ling and Xiang Yu's eyes were focused on the place where Fusu had just stood, where some strange power seemed to be surging.

Rong'er held a white plant shaped like a reed in her hand and gently brushed it across Yang Ling's body, as if to clear away the bad air from him.

It turned out that when rescuing Fusu, Rong'er did not notice Yang Ling who was nearby, causing the bones brought out by Fusu to splash onto him.

Fusu saw that Rong'er was indeed trying to clear Yang Ling's bad luck. The bones were very old and their origins were unknown, and Rong'er didn't want Yang Ling to be contaminated by anything unclean.

"I'm fine." Yang Ling didn't care. Seeing Rong'er busying around, he couldn't help but speak.

"Sir, you know these causes and effects better than I do, so let me help you clean them up!" Rong'er was stubborn, and even Yang Ling couldn't persuade her. Although the two had known each other for a short time, they could see it from the last time they sent her to the Spiritual Herb Garden.

Rong'er had made up her mind, so Yang Ling had no choice but to nod and let her handle it.

The formation mechanism that Fusu accidentally triggered made Yang Ling sure that this was the location where the sacrificial formation had fallen. However, the sacrificial formation had been buried deep in the ground for a long time and was difficult to find. In addition, they came here after many days, which made it even more difficult.

The strange energy triggered by Fusu disappeared soon after he was rescued. But the blood river still existed, and the approximate location of the sacrificial formation could be marked. Now, we just need to wait for Yang Ling to recover his strength, and then we can activate the sacrificial formation again and make it appear.

"This is a protracted battle. Now that you've come in, you must be prepared!" Yang Ling looked at Xiang Yu, Rong'er and Fusu, and continued, "Tonight is the night of the full moon, and the power of the moonlight is the strongest. I will break my meridians tonight and rebuild them. I may not wake up for the next month..."

Only Yang Ling has the ability to draw out and destroy the sacrificial formation of Lord Dili Shiva, so these things can only be accomplished by him.

However, Yang Ling's meridians were now shattered, and there was no power flowing in his body. If he wanted to complete these tasks, he had to repair his meridians first.

Repairing meridians is an act against the will of heaven, and Rong'er and others have never heard of anyone being able to succeed.

But since these words came from Yang Ling, no one doubted them.

However, having said that, during the month that Yang Ling is repairing his meridians, many accidents will occur, and Rong'er and others will need to deal with them.

Any creature that might appear on the East Wasteland Mountain must not approach this place, otherwise it would trigger the alert of the sacrificial formation and make it hide deeper. Even if Yang Ling repaired his meridians, he might not be able to successfully destroy the sacrificial formation.

"Master, don't worry, I won't let anything get close to here!" Rong'er took a step forward and looked at Yang Ling firmly.

"Sir, you treat me well. I will repay you with my own death and protect you till death!" Xiang Yu's idea was the same as Rong'er's. He would never leave.

After the words fell, the three people turned their eyes to Fusu. In fact, Yang Ling trusted the first two very much. After all, they were his own people and their character had been tested. Only Fusu had Ying Zheng and the entire Qin behind him, not Yang Ling. Therefore, when the East Wasteland Mountain was sealed, Yang Ling asked him if he wanted to leave.

Now, the time has come to ask this question again, and Yang Ling is still a little worried about him.

"Master, I won't leave either. Fusu would be more than happy to help protect you!" Fusu endured the pain, stood up, and responded firmly.

"You are protecting the people of Xianyang City!" Rong'er sneered, "You all have to rely on my young master to stop the bloody rain!"

She saw it clearly, but she was more polite to Fusu before and never said it directly. Fusu couldn't refute Rong'er's words, but he was really sincere.

Yang Ling did not respond to Rong'er's words, but he also understood Fusu's thoughts, so there was no need to say more. Xiang Yu did not participate in their dispute, nor did he intend to intervene in the matter. Seeing Yang Ling walking not far away, he followed him and found a clean and flat large stone for Yang Ling to meditate on.

Xu Fu was not in the team, so Xiang Yu became the most attentive person here, which was something Yang Ling had never expected. He thanked Xiang Yu and sat down. Xiang Yu was a little embarrassed and wanted to say something to respond to Yang Ling, but he found that Yang Ling had already started to circulate his spiritual power.

Yang Ling's meridians were now like broken tempered glass, each small fragment was extremely fragile, as if it would shatter and disappear with a rush of spiritual power. He was now forcibly driving the spiritual power in his body to break through these fragments and knock all the meridian fragments away.

The spiritual power in his body could not be retained and spread directly to the outside of his body. This feeling of power loss was already painful for him, not to mention that Yang Ling's meridians were all broken at this moment, and countless blood beads oozed out of his body.

Rong'er, Xiang Yu and Fusu all stood there in a daze, no one moved.

"Young Master, your whole body is bleeding. It must be so painful!" Rong'er's voice was filled with tears, and Fusu couldn't help but turn his head to look at her.

He was shocked when he saw it. Although Rong'er didn't break down and cry, her face was already covered with tears. Everything Yang Ling had experienced was indeed hard to accept, and Rong'er had a special feeling for him, so it was understandable that she was crying out of heartache at this moment.

It took Yang Ling a day and a night to break through all the meridians, and Rong'er also cried for a day and a night. She blamed herself very much, and felt that she was powerless at the moment. However, being in the ruins of Donghuang Mountain and close to the sacrificial formation of the god Dili Shiva, they had no time to indulge in any emotions.

The next morning, everyone was shocked to find themselves surrounded by a group of ferocious beasts of various shapes.

"Ahh..." The low roar of beasts echoed in their ears. Looking around, it was obvious that they had been completely surrounded by these ferocious beasts.

The leading beast was huge, with a lion's head and a leopard's tail. It exuded a fierce aura and was extremely powerful.

"The master once said that no living creature should be allowed to approach the altar!" Fusu's spiritual power flickered faintly, and he was ready for battle.

"There are only three of us, but we are facing so many powerful beasts. What should we do?" Xiang Yu asked the two people beside him, holding the Nine-Ring Steel Knife tightly.

Rong Er did not hesitate, and rushed out with a wave of her hand, while assigning tasks: "You are responsible for the southeast and I am responsible for the northwest. Pay attention to protecting the young master and don't let these beasts disturb him!"

"Ah--" Rong'er moved swiftly, her spiritual power gathered into a whip, and slashed at the beasts on the northwest, forcing them back hundreds of meters away.

The beasts in the northwest were enraged by this blow, and their roars shook the earth. If someone looked down from the sky at this time, they would definitely see a thin and delicate woman fighting a group of huge beasts. (End of this chapter)
