"May all spirits bless us, and may the Lord be blessed!"

The candlelight in the hall flickered, the beaded curtains rustled, and countless supervisors shouted slogans, raised their hands and bowed, prostrating themselves to salute the strange man.

Several people wearing ferocious masks and holding magical weapons were escorting the two of them to stand beside the hall.

"Do you know that you are guilty?"

Pu Boyu was startled: "Mine owner, we've taken the wrong path..."

"Anyone who enters the temple without permission will be killed without mercy."

The "bearded man" had a messy face, but I had clearly seen him before, at least a dozen years ago, and he was an old acquaintance.

Ning Xiusu understood something and sighed, "It seems that this mine is a cult."

"What did you say?"

The fox-like pupils of the "bearded man" were evil and gloomy, piercing coldly, and as dark as an abyss that swallowed people.

"I say, it's surprising that the Tongshan Dojo has been destroyed for so long and has revived. Moreover, the mine owner is so young."

Ning Xiusu spoke slowly and calmly, showing no fear, and met his gaze without any emotion.

"So, it's interesting that you can tell who I am."

"You are Yun Qun, the Buyeo prince of Tongshan Dojo."

After hearing his name, Yun Qun removed his beard, revealing a cold and angular face. The totem under his eyes was extremely gloomy, but his fox eyes showed a hint of surprise.

"I didn't expect to meet an old friend in the deep mountains... After all these years, you actually remembered me."

Ning Xiusu's voice was as light as a red silk string, but it didn't sound like he was reminiscing about the past.

"But that's not right. It's been more than ten years. You should have died long ago."

Yun Qun walked towards him from above, "Of course, but God will not destroy my Taoism. I just escaped to Qi'an and found a way to revive myself."

Ning Xiusu was slightly startled when he heard the method of resurrection.

"Didn't you die once too, the Fifth Emperor of Dayan?"

Ning Xiusu nodded and replied:

"That makes sense. So this Qianluo Mountain is no longer the Qianluo Mountain of today, but the evil cult of the past."

Hearing that he kept talking about heresy, Yun Qun's eyes were filled with murderous intent:

"A useless person who was expelled from the sect, could he have forgotten that he also received kindness from the Tongshan Dojo!"

"Times have changed. That's two different things."

"So now, you dare to disrespect the temple!"

Suddenly, a burst of black energy rushed towards him. Ning Xiusu's whole body trembled, and he was hit by a dull black energy, crashing into the stone pillar of the hall. Suddenly, a sharp pain came from his back, and he fell into the pitch blackness.

"Uncle, you..." Pu Boyu was shocked when he saw this. He mustered up his courage and shouted, "Hey, hey, hey, you guys, what do you want?"

"If you don't want to die, shut up..."

Pu Boyu said anxiously, "You promised not to hurt anyone, and you're going back on your word!"

The man's stern face was extremely evil. He held the staff and tilted his head slightly, his fox eyes piercing coldly.

"Don't refuse a toast and then drink a penalty. Merits and demerits cancel each other out. Unless, you also want to become one of those monsters?"

Pu Boyu was threatened, so he kept his mouth shut, his heart filled with mixed emotions, half fear and half self-blame.

"Give me the antidote."

After a while, he said something angrily, as if he had become a different person.

The "bearded man" waved his hand, and someone brought the shrine box over and took out a pill from it. Pu Boyu quickly swallowed it.

……

……

The flames illuminated the sky, dyeing the entire night sky blood red.

A huge altar stood in the center. On the altar, bells and drums rang, and incense curled up, suddenly merging with the smoke from the flames to form a misty air.

The smoke spread out and lingered in the air like a veil.

I don’t know how long it took, probably because I was drowsy for too long, my vision was blurry and I couldn’t see anything clearly. I just felt that the surroundings were very noisy.

Ning Xiusu was dizzy for a while before he heard the sound of blazing flames exploding above the buzzing in his ears.

"May all spirits bless us, and may the Lord be blessed!"

Another pyramid scheme-like slogan rang out, and the supervisors knelt down around the fire scene and shouted to the sky.

"Big Beard, please don't burn them to death..."

Liuliu's childish voice came from above, and seemed to become clearer and clearer.

Thick smoke billowed over the fire scene, and scorching flames licked the air. However, amidst this chaos and danger, stood an exquisite archway.

At the bamboo railing, Yun Qun sat in front of a black wooden table, looking particularly eye-catching.

He heard Liu Liu pleading, and suddenly raised the corner of his mouth and tilted his head, clearly like a grin:

"Liu'er, which of them do you feel sorry for? How about I let him turn to ashes first?"

Liu Liu stamped her feet anxiously, her eyes fixed on the fire scene. But she had no other options but to yell, "Little brother, wake up!"

A wave of heat suddenly hit Ning Xiusu's face, and he was startled. He then struggled to open his eyes.

He was tied to a wooden stake and trapped in a sea of ​​fire. The scorching flames licked the dead branches beneath him. When he turned his head slightly, he saw Hua Jianbai who was also in the sea of ​​fire.

Ning Xiusu had not been frightened at first, but now his heart was burning with anxiety.

"I am a prince after all. Aren't you afraid that the mine will be razed to the ground?"

Ning Xiusu was at his wit's end. He looked up at the archway and could only make random threats.

The man sitting on the armchair at the railing suddenly found it very interesting when he heard him say that.

He leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. "It's just a matter of killing someone. People are killed every day in the mines. It doesn't seem to matter who you are."

"That's right. If you want to kill someone, you should make sure they die with understanding."

"That makes sense."

He flew down, and Ning Xiusu saw that his scarlet robe woven with gold threads was even more brilliant in the firelight.

Yun Qun then threw the object in his hand up and caught it again, raising his eyebrows in an extremely sinister manner:

"Prince Xian, you came to the temple to steal. I was going to skin you alive and pull out your tendons, but on second thought, I decided to give you a light punishment and a heavy warning."

steal?

Ning Xiusu looked at the green jade in his hand and suddenly laughed, "Oh, no problem. I don't want to fight with you for it. There's no need to kill to silence me."

Hearing this, the man's eyes turned cold and said, "Actually, there's no point in killing you now. If you want to live, why don't you make a deal with me?"

"With my life at stake, do I have any choice?"

Yun Qi laughed a few times as if he was evil: "You are still the same as before, very interesting..."

Ning Xiusu looked at him coldly as he continued to threaten: "Why don't you... prepare the medicine in this recipe for me!"

"I haven't even looked at the recipe carefully. I don't know what you're making this medicine for."

He pinched the Nine Domains Order with his fingers, his eyes suddenly cold as he snorted, "You ask too many questions. Now there are only two choices: either die or agree."

The flames kept moving upwards, almost touching the clothes. The air seemed to be on fire, and the burning waves made the skin hurt.

"Okay, how about you release my friend first to show your sincerity?"

"You're almost dead, and you still want to bargain!"

Ning Xiusu gritted his teeth, feeling a sharp pain as the flames burned onto his clothes. He had bet that this person would agree, so he suddenly closed his eyes and remained silent. Suddenly, a basin of cold water descended from the sky, dousing the raging flames.

"Ah, little brother."

Liu Liu rushed over, her hand flashing with a green light. When the rope broke, the two men collapsed to the ground. She quickly stepped forward to pick up Hua Jianbai, and a faint light flashed in her hand, helping him heal his wounds.

Ning Xiusu's body was burned by the fire. He took a breath and found that there were some blood blisters under his black shirt where the fire had burned. Blood was constantly oozing out, and it felt hot even when the wind blew past it.

At this moment, a piece of old deerskin paper fell in front of him.

"Three days, I'll give you three days."

Yun Qun glanced down at him condescendingly, her finger still hovering in the air. As she threw down the pill formula, she also said:

"In three days, I want to see the results!"

Ning Xiusu picked up the pill recipe and squinted his eyes slightly. He saw that the method on it was roughly the same as the addictive ice pill many years ago.

He couldn't help but ask, "It's just making ice pills. There are so many alchemy practitioners in the world, why do you need my help?"

"After all, old friends are unforgettable, and you are always better than someone you don't know."

Yun Qun played with the green jade in her hand, her face full of interest. "Besides you, I really can't think of anyone else who can use the art of alchemy to refine ore."

Ning Xiusu understood: "You are refining Bailuofu to add it to the pill formula?"

"I don't understand pharmacology, you just have to do it!"

As Yun Qun spoke, Xie Si looked at her with a pair of fox eyes, and the totem before him was extremely strange.

"Don't forget, you are just a useless person expelled from Shangqing Sect. You can't resist now."

He emphasized the word "useless person" in his tone, which was clearly bullying the weak.

Ning Xiusu wasn't provoked at all, he just raised his eyelids: "That's fine, but I have a condition."

Yun Qi shrank her pupils slightly and said coldly, "Speak."

"My friends have all been poisoned by a poison. I want them to be safe and sound during this period."

"it is good."

Ning Xiusu stood up tremblingly: "One more thing."

"Mr. Ning, you're asking for too much!"

He ignored the man's anger and simply pointed at Hua Jianbai: "Help him heal his wounds."
