An old voice suddenly sounded, with a hint of arrogance coming out from it:

"There have been fewer and fewer people sending gifts these days. If this continues, the elixir will not be made. If the emperor blames me then, it will not be my fault!"

"First of all, you can't do this! I still send people here every day! What does it have to do with me if you can't make the medicine?"

Tian Xuan frowned and looked at the old man in front of him. He didn't expect that this old monster actually wanted to shirk responsibility. How many people did he send to him this time? He got nothing in return. Who could he blame?

Are you shirking your responsibility now? You wish!

"Humph! I said we need ten every day. Look at what you've been delivering lately. A bunch of idiots."

The old man didn't buy his nonsense at all and continued to complain.

"Okay, hurry up and get your share! It'll be daybreak soon!"

Tianxuan decided not to argue with the old man for now. It was true that he could refine elixirs, so he urged the old man to work faster.

The old man snorted again, picked up the knife, and began to take the blood from the head of the man lying on the bed.

Li Xiaochen narrowed his eyes slightly and noticed that the person lying on the bed was breathing in less than breathing out, so he directly took out the smoke bomb from his body. With the experience of the first time, he threw the smoke bomb quickly, accurately and fiercely this time.

With a pull, a pull, and a throw, he threw it directly into the house. Then Wang Yu quickly flashed over and held the stone door to prevent the two pieces of trash from running out, and at the same time prevent the smoke from escaping and choking them.

"Ah!! What is this? Cough cough cough!! My eyes! My eyes!!"

"Help! Cough cough cough! Help!!"

The two people inside were screaming in agony due to the sudden smoke, and they couldn't even open their eyes. Especially the old man, who was already very old, was now unable to breathe because of the smoke.

This is a secret room with no windows. The air is not circulating at all, and the smoke won't dissipate for a long time. Therefore, when Li Xiaochen set off the smoke bomb, he didn't even think about letting the two of them come out.

He had just taken a careful look, and besides the two monsters, there was only the victim on the boat.

The victim's mouth had been cut open, and without a good doctor, there was no way he could have been saved. If Xinxin was still here, maybe she could have been saved, but now she was nowhere to be found.

After weighing the pros and cons, Li Xiaochen decided to deal with these two monsters first.

It was originally a sealed environment, and the smoke couldn't escape, so the air inside was getting less and less. Tianxuan and the other two had nowhere to escape, and breathing was becoming more and more difficult!

At this moment, the old man fainted and had no response. Tianxuan also lay on the ground, his face flushed and in great pain.

Wang Yu didn't hear anything inside, so he relaxed. Li Xiaochen didn't go in to see either, but asked Wang Yu to release all the people in the cells outside.

But when Wang Yu opened their door, these people remained indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with them.

"What should I do, Prince?"

Wang Yu looked at them and saw that they were motionless. He became anxious. They had been inside for quite a while. What if the people outside woke up and Lie Yan couldn't hold on?

They didn't have many secret lines in Zhao State, so they didn't dare to use them easily. If they were discovered later, they would be in for a tough battle.

Li Xiaochen looked at these people who had no will to survive, his eyes sank slightly, and he walked forward and spoke in a strong and powerful voice:

"You have been saved, you can leave now. I am the second prince Qiu Jingfan's man. I have avenged the people who harmed you. Go back, go home, your family is waiting for you! You still have a future!"

Li Xiaochen's voice was calm and soothing, which gradually brought the desperate people back to their senses and turned to look at Li Xiaochen in a sluggish manner.

There were a few people who were not seriously injured and still had some spirit. When they heard Li Xiaochen's words, their eyes gradually lit up.

There was a man covered in blood, whose appearance could no longer be seen. He crawled out on his feet, knelt in front of Li Xiaochen, raised his head, looked at Li Xiaochen with hope, and spoke cautiously:

"Sir, is this true? Are we really saved?"

"It's true, hurry up, the people who are arresting you will come over soon and you won't be able to run away even if you want to!"

Wang Yu stood aside and nodded, urging.

"Oh! Go, go! Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"

The kneeling people burst into tears of joy. They were all deceived by the devil Tianxuan. On the surface, they were Bodhisattvas who saved people from suffering, but who knew that he used the name of Buddha to solve their current predicament, but they used blood as a bait.

But I didn't expect that this drop of blood would turn into a life.

He had not been out since he was tricked into coming in. He was either bled or bled every day. After bleeding, the old monster applied medicine to his wounds, and the bleeding stopped instantly.

This cycle repeated itself over and over again, and he didn't know how long it had been. As a grown man, his body could no longer bear having his blood drawn like this every day.

He didn't know how much time had passed outside, or how his family was doing. He only knew that he was lucky to be alive.

He had seen with his own eyes before, the old monster peeling open a man's chest and taking out his penis to drain his blood. The scene was extremely cruel, and a woman who was captured with him at the time was so frightened that she fainted.

When the woman woke up again, she had become demented.

"Let's go!"

Wang Yu felt uncomfortable seeing that he was like this, so he had to remind him to leave early.

The man rolled and crawled toward the outside. When he was almost at the door, he paused, turned back, and walked toward a room.

After a while, he walked out without looking back, carrying a person who was neither human nor ghost on his back, with a determined look on his face.

After the first one, there was the second one, and gradually, people who were locked in several rooms began to come out. After seeing that the real one could leave, they all thanked Li Xiaochen and the others.

Then one or two people supported each other and limped out.

"Go and see if there's anyone else who's still here! And the two in the house, try to get them out."

Li Xiaochen gave Wang Yu an order.

"yes!"

Then Wang Yu checked room by room.

Li Xiaochen strode outside.

…

In the palace, no one had taken care of Lin Yuxin since Qiu Qiyi was carried away. She had been locked up for a whole day, and now she was bored so she brought Zhizhi out to chat with her.

"Squeak"

Woman, I never thought that this day would come to you!

Zhizhi lay on the table, feeling somewhat schadenfreude as he watched Lin Yuxin being locked up.

"Who knows? Qiu Qiyi, that lunatic, is now paralyzed in bed and can't do anything to me!"

Lin Yuxin said nonchalantly, then lowered her head and ate the apple in her mouth. She was hungry. She had been very hungry recently. Qiu Qiyi captured her but didn't bring her any food. He was really ungrateful.
