However, some things should not be said.
Fu Changling changed the subject and returned to the inn with Qin Yan. Shangguan Mingyan was already waiting inside. As soon as they returned, Shangguan Mingyan came to greet them and said with a sigh of relief, "I'm glad you're all right. Did you gain anything?"
"That's what you said."
Fu Changling looked him over and asked, "Are you waiting for us?"
"yes."
Shangguan Mingyan's expression grew serious. "Just now when you were leaving, this fell from the sky."
Shangguan Mingyan said as he handed over a piece of paper with the words written on it that were previously on the wooden sign: "Taiping Town, there is no peace, everyone dies, one person lives."
Fu Changling frowned at these words. Shangguan Mingyan glanced around and led the two people into the house. He whispered, "After these papers were scattered, the villagers are now discussing this matter. The news of Yue Sihua, Yue Ming, and the death of the maid has spread. I see that the villagers don't look too happy..."
Fu Changling held the papers in his hands, his mind filled with doubts.
"What do you think?" Qin Yan asked. Fu Changling answered, frowning, "I don't understand what Yue Sinan is trying to do. She wants revenge and has already killed Yue Sihua. Is she saying that she wants all the Yue family members to be wiped out?"
"It's possible." Qin Yan said calmly, "Fu Changyan is still alive."
When Fu Changling heard this, he said with a hint of annoyance in his voice: "This woman is too crazy."
"Let's set up the formation first."
Seeing that he seemed unhappy, Qin Yan changed the subject and turned to Shangguan Mingyan and said, "Mingyan, go out and explain clearly to everyone in the town. Tell them that this matter only concerns us and they don't have to be afraid. We will also set up a magic circle for them so that they don't have to worry."
"Yes." Shangguan Mingyan responded respectfully and retreated.
After he retreated, Qin Yan turned to look at Fu Changling: "Do you need my help?"
"Not right now," Fu Changling smiled, "just help me protect the law at night."
"Um."
After Qin Yan responded, he sat aside. Fu Changling pulled a cushion and sat on the ground. Then he put the Qinggu fan to his lips and chanted a humming sound.
A wound appeared silently at his fingertips. As he spoke, drops of blood slowly flew out of the wound and slowly formed a blood-colored formation above his head.
At the same time, a blue formation unfolded beneath him. This blue formation had the same patterns as the blood-colored formation, but its area was much larger. The two formations were carved simultaneously, and the patterns of the formation gradually spread. Qin Yan watched quietly for a while, knowing that this formation would not be completed in a short time, so he found a seat next to Fu Changling, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.
After a while, Qin Yan heard footsteps outside. He glanced at Fu Changling, then stood up and waited at the door.
After waiting for a while, Guan Xiaoniang came over. When she saw Qin Yan, her face turned slightly red, and then she asked, "Why is Master Qin here?"
"Wait for you."
Qin Yan spoke directly. After hearing this, Guan Xiaoniang felt even more embarrassed. She looked up at the door and asked curiously, "Where is Master Fu?"
"He's busy."
"It's rare to see the two immortal masters not together," Guan Xiaoniang smiled, then said, "There are some rumors in the town today. Is Immortal Master Qin aware of them?"
"I know." Qin Yan replied, thought for a moment, and then instructed, "Close the door, it's fine."
"I'm worried too," Guan Xiaoniang said with a wry smile. "I heard from the people in town that this notice was issued by an extremely powerful demon. I'm really panicking right now. I'm afraid of that demon, and I'm also afraid of..."
Guan Xiaoniang paused and didn't say anything. Qin Yan didn't understand and continued to ask, "What are you afraid of?"
"Afraid...afraid of people."
Guan Xiaoniang spoke in a low voice, but still said it.
"There are already people in this town wearing it, and only one person can survive. What do you think, if everyone has this idea, then..."
Guan Xiaoniang didn't need to continue; Qin Yan had already understood. He was silent for a moment before saying, "Don't worry. We're already working on a solution. Changling will set up a magic circle tonight. Within this magic circle, he will be aware of any disturbances and will be able to arrive immediately. Tell everyone this and stop spreading rumors."
"Really?" Guan Xiaoniang breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled, "I knew Immortal Qin would find a way for us."
Qin Yan was silent for a moment, then emphasized, "It's all thanks to Master Fu."
"It's all the same."
As she spoke, Guan Xiaoniang looked inside and asked, "Has Master Fu set up the formation yet? Can we see him?"
"No," Qin Yan shook his head, "He won't see anyone tonight."
"Then I'll come back tomorrow."
Guan Xiaoniang smiled and said, "Master Fu has helped us so much, we must meet him to show our gratitude."
"Wait until he gets better."
Qin Yan chatted for a few more words about Guan Xiaoniang's problem. After Guan Xiaoniang was completely relieved, she said goodbye and left. Only then did Qin Yan return to the room.
When he entered the house, he saw that the formation had been almost drawn. Fu Changling's face was pale and cold sweat was all over his body.
Cold sweat soaked his clothes and outlined his figure. Qin Yan took a quick glance at him, then looked away and sat down again.
He meditated for a moment, then felt a little worried and couldn't help but open his eyes.
The room was pitch black, except for the place where Fu Changling was sitting, which was illuminated by the moonlight. Qin Yan watched him quietly. After a long time, he saw the last line of the blood formation above his head connected, drawing the formation into a closed loop. Then the blood formation above his head fell onto the blue formation below him, and then the formation expanded rapidly, spreading straight towards the surroundings.
Then Fu Changling sat down and a burst of brilliant light shot up into the sky. Fu Changling fell straight backwards. Qin Yan was quick-witted and raised his hand to block Fu Changling from behind, holding one of his hands in his arms.
Fu Changling raised his eyes while panting, opened them, and looked at the calm face of the person in front of him.
He forced a smile: "I don't have the strength anymore."
"Um."
Qin Yan responded softly, saying, "Go to sleep."
As he said that, he lifted him up and put him on the bed.
Fu Changling was in a daze and felt a little sleepy when he lay on the bed, but he felt sticky and couldn't help frowning, as if he was uncomfortable.
Qin Yan sat next to him and looked at him quietly for a while. Seeing Fu Changling frown, he remembered that Fu Changling was a very clean person.
He glanced at Fu Changling's wet clothes, hesitated for a moment, and finally got up and went to get some hot water.
Fu Changling vaguely felt that someone was taking care of him and wiping his body. He opened his eyes in a daze and saw Qin Yan sitting beside him, wiping his hands.
He looked at Qin Yan quietly. He felt that Qin Yan at this moment had gentle features, just like the man he knew in his previous life when he secretly approached him for a while.
"Why are you so nice to me?"
He suddenly spoke, Qin Yan looked up at him and just asked in return: "Hmm?"
"You've been so nice to me before."
Fu Changling spoke in a hoarse voice. Qin Yan paused, looked up in confusion, and then heard Fu Changling say, "In your last life, you didn't remember."
"I don't remember."
Qin Yan was telling the truth.
He didn't remember a time when he'd taken such good care of Fu Changling. Even when he'd been blinded in the Xuanji Secret Realm, Fu Changling had been incredibly self-reliant and hadn't given him a single worry. After leaving the Xuanji Secret Realm, the two of them hadn't had much interaction.
"It's okay," Fu Changling chuckled, "If you want to know, I can tell you."
Qin Yan paused, and seeing that he seemed to be refusing, Fu Changling continued, "You probably don't like hearing me nagging about this. But please forgive me. Now, you are the only one I can talk to about this."
"Yeah." Qin Yan lowered his eyes, put the handkerchief into the warm water, rubbed it clean, and wiped his arm again. He said calmly, "It would be better if you tell me, so it's okay."
When Fu Changling heard what he said, he felt a little sad. He felt like he was covering an iceberg with his heart. His heart was tightly bound to the iceberg, and his flesh and skin were all stuck to the ice. Every time it beat, he felt pain.
He closed his eyes, trying not to think too much. Qin Yan wiped him clean and changed his clothes before he stood up and asked, "Is there anything else I can do?"
"Thank you, Brother."
Fu Changling opened his eyes and smiled: "Brother, go to sleep first. I'll be fine after a night's sleep."
Qin Yan responded, went to a small couch not far away, and started meditating again.
Fu Changling was really tired. He closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, Fu Changling vaguely heard some noise outside. He immediately opened his eyes and sat up, and heard Qin Yan say, "I'll ask Ming Yan to check it out. You can rest now."
Fu Changling had a feeling that something was wrong and he felt a bit of a headache. He quickly checked the formation first, and after confirming that no one had broken into the formation, he felt a little relieved.
However, at this moment, there was a hurried knock on the door from Shangguan Mingyan. Fu Changling immediately stood up. Qin Yan rushed to the door and opened it before seeing Shangguan Mingyan panting heavily. He said solemnly, "Senior Brother, Brother Chen," and then he turned sideways and said, "Come out and take a look."
Fu Changling and Qin Yan looked at each other and hurried out.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the door and into the corridor, they saw that the lobby was crowded with people. Even Guan Xiaoniang, with tears in her eyes, brought her mother and stood together beside a lying man.
There were a bunch of people standing in the hall, and several lying down. When they saw Fu Changling and Qin Yan coming down, they immediately knelt down like a wave, crying excitedly: "Master, help, help!"
Qin Yan frowned. Fu Changling ignored the kneeling person and walked straight towards the person lying next to Guan Xiaoniang.
The man's face had turned black, and his entire body was stiff, as if he had been dead for a long time. But strangely, he was still breathing, his chest still rising and falling slightly.
His entire body had become completely stiff like stone, and the soles of his feet had grown a rock-like surface that clung to his calves.
Although they had not met often, Fu Changling still recognized him as Guan Lao San.
"What happened?" Fu Changling turned to look at Guan Xiaoniang, who was kneeling on the ground, sobbing softly, "I don't know. Just now when I got home, my father suddenly collapsed, and then he became like this. In the time he's been here, his legs have turned to stone..."
"Who has he met?" Fu Changling asked hastily. Guan Xiaoniang shook her head, "No, no one."
Fu Changling's face was extremely grim. Qin Yan walked up to him and whispered, "It seems Yue Sinan has started to attack the people."
Fu Changling was speechless.
He couldn't understand how Yue Sinan could petrify so many people so easily without leaving any traces after he had set up such a sophisticated formation?
These people are still alive now, but if this continues, they will obviously die.
"Master," the people nearby shouted, "Please, please save us."
Fu Changling listened to the cries for help coming one after another and slowly looked over.
In the entire lobby, people were standing in groups of almost every family, and every family had a person lying down. In other words, Yue Sinan attacked every family.
Her purpose in doing this was simple.
She wanted to destroy the villagers' trust in Fu Changling and Qin Yan.
They said that if she wanted to save people, she could put the lives of every single one of these families in jeopardy.
Fu Changling's body was stiff, and Qin Yan had already stepped forward and transferred spiritual power to the patients one by one.
The patient's skin became noticeably softer after receiving the spiritual power, but his eyes were still closed, as if he had fallen asleep.
Everyone knelt on the ground to thank Qin Yan. After a long time, Qin Yan finished treating all the patients and came back. He said a little tiredly, "Let's go back and rest first."
Fu Changling didn't say anything. He looked at the townspeople crying in front of him and felt an inexplicable weirdness.
This place seemed like a Shura hell, and they were in hell.
If Yue Sinan wanted revenge, he could just kill Yue's family. Why kill these ordinary people?
How did she kill them? She was at most in the Spiritual Transformation Stage, so how did she hide it from him? How did she kill so many people without showing any signs of abnormality?
Moreover, if you want to kill these villagers, why don’t you do it earlier instead of waiting for them to arrive?
Questions flashed through Fu Changling's mind one by one, and Qin Yan reminded him, "Changling?"
"What did you do?"
Fu Changling suddenly asked, looking at the townspeople in the hall.
The townspeople looked at Fu Changling in surprise. Fu Changling glanced at them one by one and said in a rather awkward manner, "What did you do when you were there?"
"Master..." Guan Xiaoniang listened to Fu Changling's words with a bewildered expression, "What are you asking?"
"Yue Sinan couldn't possibly kill someone for no reason," Fu Changling said anxiously, "What did you do to her in the past?!"
