The warm current from the elixir barely circulated halfway through his meridians before it was completely consumed by the emptiness of his depleted Qi and blood. Qin He sat cross-legged on the rubble, his back pressed against the cold, broken wall. He appeared to be closing his eyes to regulate his breathing, but in reality, every nerve was tense as a string.

The aura coming from the direction of the Black Stone Mansion was intermittent, and it was obvious that someone was secretly weighing the situation.

Qin He could clearly feel the gaze from those eyes, sometimes cold, sometimes timid.

"Hahaha, Mr. Mo, that battle just now was brilliant, brilliant!"

The next moment, a figure shot out from the depths of the mansion like an arrow, and in an instant appeared twenty steps away from Qin He.

He was wearing a loose grey phoenix robe, his eyebrows and hair were all white, but he did not look old. His eyes were surprisingly bright, but no one knew what kind of eye technique he had practiced.

"Elder Heishi, nice to meet you." Qin He was still sitting cross-legged and did not stand up.

"My young friend, you are very powerful. It is an honor for us to have you visit Black Stone Town today. By the way, I have met your master Mo Qianyang several times. I wonder how my master is doing?" Elder Black Stone smiled kindly, but his eyes were fixed on Qin He, sizing him up.

"Thank you for your concern, Elder Black Stone. My master is doing well~"

Qin He slowly opened his eyes. Although his voice was a little hoarse due to exhaustion, his eyes were still sharp as a spear. "Don't worry, Elder Black Stone. Once my energy and blood recover a little, I will leave on my own and will not bring any trouble to Black Stone Town."

After saying that, he deliberately leaned the silver spear to his side, and the spear shaft collided with the stone with a light "clang" sound. He seemed unable to hold it, but in fact his fingertips had quietly touched the purple gold bowl in his arms, which contained not only the broken blade of the Chaos Shovel, but also several explosive talismans found from Shen Gongjin. Although they were not enough to seriously damage the Divine Bridge Realm, they could create an opportunity to escape.

Elder Black Stone's eyes twitched slightly, and he took a half-inch step forward. His tone became more earnest. "What are you talking about, my friend? Your Pure Blood Dao cultivation method is quite rare. I have a furnace of Yuan Dan that can help you quickly recover your Qi and blood. Why don't you come back to the mansion with me to rest for a while, and then make plans?"

After saying this, he flipped his palm and an ebony medicine box appeared. When he opened it, an ink-colored pill with a fragrant aroma appeared. It was indeed a top-grade pill for restoring essence.

But how could Qin He agree to this? The old man's temptations were becoming more and more obvious.

The so-called "return to the mansion to rest" is just an attempt to lure him into a cage. Once he steps into the mansion, it will be extremely difficult to escape.

He slowly stood up, and golden energy and blood flowed through his body for a moment. Although it was weak, it carried an undeniable sense of oppression. "The elder's elixir is too precious. I dare not accept it. I appreciate your kindness."

"Haha, my friend, you are very cautious. Well, I have never met you before, and it is indeed a bit abrupt for me to give you the elixir without your permission. It is reasonable for you to be cautious. I understand, I understand."

Elder Black Stone smiled and waved his hand, then suddenly paused, staring intently at Qin He. "I heard that this divine envoy guard is here to find the transboundary demon. My friend, this really makes me think a lot."

As he spoke, he stared at every subtle expression on Qin He's face, but he failed. Qin He didn't react at all, or rather, there was no apparent reaction.

"But don't worry, my friend. Blackrock Town and Sin City have always been at odds. I'm just curious, haha."

Elder Black Stone continued, pacing as if chatting, and said slowly, "I've heard that the Heavenly Demons are adept at hiding, either by transforming into the forms of cultivators or hiding within the bodies of ferocious creatures. Their most notable characteristic is... they possess strange powers despite lacking any elemental energy."

"My dear friend, please don't blame me for being nosy. Your Qi and blood power is indeed somewhat similar to the legendary power of the demon."

Qin He raised his eyebrows, deliberately revealing a hint of sarcasm, "According to what the elder said, wouldn't all the body cultivators in Sin City be regarded as demons?"

He took a step forward. Although his figure was still light, he carried a fierce aura. "If the elders believe that I am a demon, you can try. I just don't want to do it right now, not that I can't. The bodies of the divine envoys and guards are still here. Elders, please consider carefully and don't misjudge the situation."

His brave appearance and the sharpness in his eyes caused Elder Black Stone's eyebrows to twitch. He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not dare to take the risk. He could only laugh awkwardly and said, "Haha, my friend, you are joking. I was just mentioning it casually. Heavenly Demon, how could it be such a coincidence? Hahaha."

Da Ya Jin, standing nearby, had already been frightened to the point of sweating in his palms. Seeing the situation ease, he quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Thank you for your kindness, Elder! We'll take Brother Mo to find a place to recuperate and will not disturb Black Stone Town!"

As he spoke, he winked at Liu Shan and the others, who quickly helped Qin He up and retreated quickly towards the outside of the town.

Only after leaving Blackrock Town did Dayajin breathe a sigh of relief, his voice trembling. "Brother Qin, we've stirred up a hornet's nest this time! Not only did we kill Xiao Wujiu's men, but we also slaughtered two divine envoys and guards. The Divine Court and the Sin City Patrol will definitely join forces to hunt us down!"

Liu Shan's face turned pale. "What's even more troublesome is the old ghost Black Stone. He looks at Brother Qin like a hungry wolf staring at fat meat. As soon as we leave, he will sell the news to the Divine Court."

Qin He leaned against the stone wall of the cave and finally couldn't help coughing up a mouthful of blood foam.

He had just tried to force himself to intimidate Elder Black Stone, and had already used up his last bit of energy.

He pulled out the broken blade of the Chaos Shovel, and the cold touch invigorated him. "Retaliation from the Divine Court and Sin City is inevitable. We must leave this area as soon as possible. Ye Tai, is there a safe place to hide?"

Dayajin was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes...indeed."
