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

They knew that since Agula had been defeated, they, as subordinates, would probably not be able to escape the bad luck either. Therefore, some people who knew the current situation began to quietly walk to the city wall, intending to surrender to the Great Qin Empire. Seeing this, others followed suit. After all, the entire city was surrounded by the Great Qin's Black Ice Guards. If they did not surrender, they would probably die.

However, they underestimated the Qin army's decisiveness. Especially Wang Jian, who was merciless to traitors. Just as the soldiers walked to the bottom of the city gate, a sharp sword whistled over.

"laugh!"

Before a soldier could react, his body was cut in two by Wang Jian's sword. Seeing this, the remaining soldiers were so frightened that they turned around and fled.

"Whoa!"

At this time, Wang Jian was surrounded by black soldiers holding bows and arrows. They drew their bows and arrows, waiting for Wang Jian's order. The sharp arrows flashed coldly under the sunlight, making the soldiers tremble with fear. They knew that as long as Wang Jian waved his hand, they would instantly turn into hedgehogs.

At this moment, they dared not move at all, and could only kneel on the ground obediently, waiting for Wang Jian's decision. Looking at the people kneeling at his feet, the anger in Wang Jian's eyes eased a little. These soldiers were actually just ordinary people, who had no choice but to be driven by the superiors.

Thinking of this, Wang Jian could not help but look at Qin Emperor Ying Zheng and Yang Ling who was taking care of Meng Tian. Seeing Wang Jian's gaze, Yang Ling whispered: "Those who are not of my race must have different hearts. Although they came to invade because of Agula's order, they are still foreigners after all."

Qin Emperor Ying Zheng had a different view: "Since foreign tribes can invade us, why can't we invade them in return? These people know their country better than we do. We can subdue them and let them lead the way for us."

After saying this, Ying Zheng looked at the trembling foreigners and shouted, "Are you willing to follow me? If so, I will spare your lives!"

"We are willing!" Almost at the same time as Ying Zheng finished speaking, all the foreigners shouted in unison. Seeing this, Yang Ling stopped trying to stop them. Because Ying Zheng's proposal was indeed tempting. Although he was not afraid of war, he also hoped to live in peace with others. If that were possible, why would there be a need for war?

So, the two of them quickly reached an agreement. Later, under the leadership of Wang Jian, the soldiers escorted the captives and left in a mighty manner. But Ling Yue did not leave, she chose to stay in the city. Because her Gu King had just completed the transformation, it would take some time to consolidate her cultivation.

At this moment, the city wall fell into a brief silence. After Lingyue's Gu King devoured all of Agula's energy, the entire city was filled with a strong spiritual energy, which was shocking. However, Lingyue did not have any concerns. She sat cross-legged on the top of the city wall, constantly communicating with the Gu King in her sea of ​​consciousness. She was ready to help the Gu King integrate the energy he had harvested.

However, due to excessive excitement, Lingyue forgot the fact that she was seriously injured. At this moment, a buzzing sound suddenly sounded in Lingyue's sea of ​​consciousness. Lingyue looked up and saw the Gu King who had just completed the transformation in front of her.

At this time, the Gu King was completely black, and several feet long flesh wings grew on his back. There was a bloodthirsty and fierce light in his eyes. It was obvious that this transformation had brought him great benefits. Lingyue looked at the Gu King with joy, and saw that it began to spit out black and gold silk threads, slowly wrapping itself up.

After a long time, heavy thunderclouds began to gather in the sky. As the arcs flashed, the deafening sound of thunder slowly sounded, shocking the eyes. At the same time, the body of the Gu King, who was bound in the cocoon, was also undergoing a new transformation. Gradually, the Gu King's body became more solid, like a real creature.

With the rumbling sound of thunder, boundless lightning surged towards the Gu King Cocoon. At this moment, Lingyue felt that her body was suppressed invisibly. "Crack!" Just as the thunder was about to hit the Gu King Cocoon, a strong suction force suddenly came out, absorbing all the thunder in the sky.

It turned out that Yang Ling had taken action. He held the Enlightenment Stone in his hand and stood calmly beside the Gu King Cocoon. Watching this scene, Ling Yue's eyes were full of brilliance. If Yang Ling hadn't been there, the Gu King Cocoon would have been seriously injured.

"Hiss!" At this moment, the Gu King let out a loud hissing sound. In an instant, Lingyue once again felt the deafening roar coming from the sky. "Boom!" Countless lightning bolts fell and gathered directly towards the Gu King's cocoon.

Lingyue felt as if she was about to be crushed by the pressure of the thunder and lightning. But she still gritted her teeth and persisted, not retreating at all. The lightning gradually weakened and finally dissipated completely. After Lingyue stabilized her body, she turned her head to look at Yang Ling who was guarding the Gu King Cocoon.

At this moment, the originally pitch-black Gu King cocoon suddenly became bright and dazzling. At the same time, Lingyue also clearly felt a powerful energy flowing through her meridians and finally gathered in her dantian. "Hiss!" A huge Gu King slowly tore open the cocoon that wrapped itself and appeared in the void.

After the transformation, the Gu King's body was black and gold, and he was filled with a strong poisonous power. Even the air was faintly filled with a corrosive smell. This made Lingyue's eyes reveal a look of joy. "Haha, the Gu King's strength has increased a lot after the advancement!" Hearing the voice of Yang Ling, the guardian, Lingyue said with a smile: "It has indeed increased a lot. From now on, my Southern Xinjiang will no longer be afraid of any force." Yang Ling nodded with satisfaction at the growth of the Gu King, and said to Lingyue with a smile: "With this Gu King, your alliance with Daqin will be more confident." After that, Yang Ling took out a pill and handed it to Lingyue: "Take this Yishen Pill first, so that you can stabilize your soul. In this way, you can better control the transformed Gu King."

"During this period of time, you should practice with Gu King. When Gu King's condition stabilizes, come and negotiate the alliance with Daqin." Yang Ling continued, "Don't worry, with me here, Daqin will never dare to go back on its word about the alliance." After that, Yang Ling prepared to leave. Because he knew that Lingyue needed not only time, but also his guarantee.

"Yes!" After hearing Yang Ling's words, Ling Yue did not refuse. She knew that if she wanted to have a foothold in Southern Xinjiang and be treated kindly, she must have strong strength. Without strength, everything is just empty talk. Although she wanted to continue to go north with Yang Ling, Ling Yue knew that stability was the most important thing at this time.

The reason why the Gu King was sealed was because the previous Gu King was too weak. Even though Ling Yue was ready and had a chance to break through because of Yang Ling, her strength was still a little insufficient. Ling Yue, who was self-aware, knew that what she had to do was to leave immediately and return to Southern Xinjiang.

Thinking of this, Lingyue's eyes showed determination. While they were talking, Lingyue also walked towards the Gu King. The Gu King was five meters tall, covered with scales, and his eyes were full of fierce light. His body was filled with a thick mist of Gu poison. "Hiss!" Just when Lingyue just touched the Gu King, the other party actually made a hissing sound again, obviously feeling very happy about Lingyue's arrival.

Although the Gu King looked ferocious, he was not aggressive at all. Facing the calm Gu King, Lingyue sighed in her heart. If Yang Ling hadn't given her the Yi Shen Pill to strengthen her soul, she would not have been able to appease the Gu King who had just transformed.

Lingyue slowly stretched out her arms and chanted an ancient spell, each word of which contained mysterious power. In an instant, the Gu King seemed to have turned into the brightest meteor in the night sky, shooting directly into Lingyue's dantian and merging with her.

After collecting the Gu King, Lingyue cast a gentle look at Yang Ling and said goodbye softly. Then, she turned to Rong'er and said, "Rong'er, you stay here and help the young master. I will go back to Southern Xinjiang first." Rong'er heard this, and a trace of reluctance flashed in her eyes, but she still nodded firmly to Lingyue, "Sister Lingyue, you must be careful on the way." Lingyue smiled and waved her hand. With a flicker of her body, she flew towards Southern Xinjiang like a light swallow, at an astonishing speed, and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.

Rong'er watched Lingyue go away, and a sense of inexplicable loss surged in her heart. Yang Ling noticed her emotions and patted her shoulder gently, "Don't worry, she will definitely come back." Rong'er nodded heavily after hearing this, and the loss on her face was instantly replaced by the liveliness of the past. Yang Ling looked at Rong'er, his heart was filled with relief, and he gently rubbed her hair again, and then took her to the direction where the Qin army left.

On the other side, Lingyue rushed to the southern border in a hurry. She knew that only by constantly improving her strength could she ensure the safety of the people in the southern border. In the southern border, in addition to her people, there were countless foreign tribes eyeing them covetously. Once the news of the Gu King's revival leaked, the entire southern border would be in crisis. Therefore, Lingyue did not dare to slack off and was very careful along the way, for fear of being discovered by someone.

At the same time, Yang Ling and Rong'er had already caught up with the Qin army. Since the war with foreign tribes, the Qin soldiers have suffered heavy losses, with one-tenth of the troops reduced. If it weren't for Yang Ling's presence and the cultivation method he taught, the Black Ice Guards' combat effectiveness would never have increased so much, and the losses would have been even more severe. Seeing the Qin army, Rong'er's eyes flashed with excitement, "Master, let's catch up quickly!" Yang Ling responded, and the two quickened their pace and came to the rear of the Qin army.

Wang Jian saw Yang Ling coming back and quickly welcomed him into the tent where Ying Zheng was. As soon as he entered the tent, Yang Ling saw Ying Zheng sitting on a chair with a pale face, his body swaying as if he would fall down at any time. Meng Tian stood by, his eyes full of concern and worry, his eyes slightly red. Yang Ling's heart trembled, and he quickly stepped forward to feel Ying Zheng's pulse. After a diagnosis, he found that a strange power was surging in Ying Zheng's veins.

Yang Ling frowned and asked in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, how do you feel?" Ying Zheng endured the pain in his chest and whispered: "I'm fine. It may be that I didn't recover well after being possessed by the devil." After that, he waved his hand to signal everyone to retreat, leaving only Meng Tian and Wang Jian.

Wang Jian looked at Ying Zheng with worry in his eyes, "Your Majesty, you should go back to Xianyang first. Meng Tian and I are here." Although Ying Zheng was reluctant, he knew that his physical condition did not allow him to stay in the barracks. After careful consideration, he sighed and said, "I know what you are worried about. This battle is related to the fate of the country. I wanted to lead the army myself." However, Meng Tian firmly opposed it, "Your Majesty, your body is not suitable for long-distance travel. Your injuries are too serious. You must return to Xianyang as soon as possible to recuperate."

Ying Zheng heard this, although he was unwilling, he also understood that this was for the sake of the overall situation. He glanced at Yang Ling and said, "I know, I will go back to Xianyang." Seeing this, Yang Ling said, "Your Majesty, it would be best if you are willing to go back. Your current condition really requires you to retreat and recuperate." Ying Zheng nodded. He knew that the sequelae of his obsession were too difficult to deal with. If he was not treated in time, the consequences would be disastrous.

"I will listen to you, sir, and return to Xianyang today." After saying that, Ying Zheng looked at Yang Ling again and pleaded, "Sir, I hope you can take care of me this time on the trip north." Yang Ling nodded solemnly, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will definitely do my best to assist General Meng and General Wang. You can just go back and retreat with peace of mind." Hearing Yang Ling's assurance, Ying Zheng finally felt relieved and began to arrange matters for his afterward.

After Ying Zheng made all the arrangements, Wang Jian and Meng Tian stopped Yang Ling who was about to leave. Meng Tian looked solemn, "Sir, can your Majesty really recover by just retreating?" He knew that Yang Ling never boasted, so he was full of worries. Yang Ling replied affirmatively, "Yes, your Majesty, as long as you retreat well as I said, you will be able to recover in about three years." Although Meng Tian was still a little worried, he was relieved a little when he saw Yang Ling's confidence.

At this time, Meng Tian asked again: "Sir, His Majesty is in seclusion for three years, will you also stay in Daqin for three years?" Yang Ling was silent for a while, and finally said: "Of course, if nothing unexpected happens, I will stay in Daqin for three years." He knew that although Daqin is now powerful, it will easily cause civil unrest if it loses Ying Zheng, the backbone. Wang Jian and Meng Tian believed Yang Ling's words because they knew that Yang Ling always kept his word.

After the conversation, Yang Ling left the tent. When he came to Rong'er, he found that the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty were ready to go. Rong'er saw Yang Ling and ran over immediately, "Sir, you are finally here. I am so bored waiting here!" Yang Ling smiled and touched her hair, "I am sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. His Majesty is preparing to leave for Xianyang, so we discussed the follow-up matters." (End of this chapter)
