Xu Qiu tied the horse in a woods.

He followed the gangster, but halfway through, he stopped and turned to look behind him.

"Come out, HyunA."

He shouted casually, and his voice echoed in the jungle.

After a while, a rustling sound was heard.

Yuqin Hyun-A appears from behind a tree trunk.

She blinked her bright eyes and asked curiously, "I've hidden so far away, how could you still find me?"

"You're making too much noise."

Xu Qiu explained.

And stand there, waiting for the other person to come to you.

Yuqin Hyun-ya pushed aside the grass and stepped forward step by step, with a puzzled look on her face: "Too much noise?"

The movements she cultivated were extremely light and agile, her body was as light as a butterfly, and even if it landed on the ground or on a treetop, it would not make any sound.

Even the Imperial Master, who had just arrived in the capital, wanted to deal with her.

She could always make the opponent run around in circles, and the opponent could hardly detect her ghostly movements.

If there hadn't been a traitor inside, Youqin Hyun-a wouldn't have been imprisoned in the cold palace. Of course, it was because of her strength that the other party put her under house arrest instead of killing her.

Xu Qiu nodded. "Although you didn't touch the surrounding objects, you can't deny the disturbance of the air, right?"

"Your perception is incredible." Youqin Hyun-ya couldn't help but sigh, "Your strength now should be at the level of a celestial being, right?"

“Not really.”

Xu Qiu shook his head.

He indeed had not entered the realm of heaven and man, but strong energy and spiritual energy coexisted in his body, not to mention, he had been tempered by martial arts techniques and medicinal liquids.

The physical strength reaches a terrifying level.

“Eh~?”

Yuqin Hyun-A was even more confused.

Xu Qiu could easily kill the national teacher, but he had not yet reached the heavenly realm. What kind of monster was he? Youqin Hyun-ya speculated: "Could it be because of the spiritual power you mentioned?"

She had felt that kind of mysterious power before.

Xu Qiu looked at her who had already walked to his side, but did not answer. Instead, he asked, "Why are you here?"

Yuqin Hyun-ya then remembered her purpose.

So he simply said, "I have been questioning the traitors in the pavilion overnight these past few days and learned the secret of this place, so I came to take a look."

She said this.

She pursed her cherry red lips and looked at Xu Qiu who was calm and composed.

He added: "But don't worry about it now. With you here, no one can take the treasure away."

"There is no treasure here in the first place." Xu Qiu dispelled her thoughts. "If there really was a treasure, would the Daqian royal family have fallen to this point?"

"So what is your purpose for coming here?"

"Sacrifice!"

Having said this, Xu Qiu stopped talking.

He needs a large amount of souls to restore Po Yu to his peak state, and at the same time eliminate the hidden dangers of the people in the martial arts world.

Seek benefits for yourself and do good things for the people.

After all, the people have contributed a lot to the way of heaven, and now we can kill two birds with one stone.

Yuqin Hyun-A wanted to ask more.

But the words were not spoken.

Boom!

Then I heard some noise coming from the front.

There was a violent tremor coming from the underground palace of the Dragon's Rising Place, and the whole mountain seemed to be in the midst of an earthquake.

The stones kept shaking, and huge rocks rolled down from time to time.

"What on earth happened?!"

Yuqin Hyun-ya looked around nervously.

Xu Qiu frowned, his expression serious: "Something is wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"This earthquake was caused by a huge formation, but I didn't notice it before, which means it's a hidden formation!"

Xu Qiu explained casually, then jumped onto the treetop and galloped towards the dragon's rising place. His figure disappeared in an instant.

Yuqin Hyun-A also followed.

At the same time, a voice was heard.

[Strange, I didn’t notice it before]

[The level of this hidden formation is so high, it is probably a formation above the Jindan stage, so I am unable to detect it with my current strength.]

"Golden elixir?"

She had seen this word in ancient books, but such a word was extremely rare, and even in hundreds of ancient books, there was no such word.

In other words, the frequency of the words "foundation building" appears ten times more than that of golden elixir.

Yuqin Hyun-a looked at Xu Qiu's back, and a strange thought arose in her heart.

"This guy always surprises people."

Yuqin Hyun-A became more and more curious about him.

…

Two minutes ago

Many people from the martial arts world came to Longxing’s place and pushed open the ancient gate.

An old smell came to the face, and the enthusiasm of everyone seemed to be ignited because of this old smell.

Rushing into the ancient ruins madly.

There were even cases of people pushing each other, and some even started fighting on the spot, just to reduce the number of people entering the underground palace.

"I saw it, I saw it!"

Suddenly someone shouted excitedly.

Deep in the tunnel, there is a huge circular underground palace, and huge stone statues seem to guide people to the location of the treasure.

Suddenly, more people poured into the underground palace.

There are quite a few books scattered around the central stone statue, many of which are quite new or have been deliberately worn.

Unfortunately, no one questioned it.

Everyone shouted with great joy: "This is a martial arts secret book!"

Soon someone hid a secret manual of martial arts on his body.

Some people just flipped through it and he wondered, "Why does this secret manual look like it was just written? The ink hasn't even dried yet!"

However, his doubts did not attract people's attention.

Even if someone shouted: "This is a trap, these martial arts secrets are fake!"

But his voice was like being drowned in the sea, not causing any waves, and no one cared at all.

Instead, several martial artists drew their knives from their waists and stared viciously at the man holding the secret manual of martial arts.

"Hand over the secret book and I will spare your life!"

The voices of these people made others unhappy. They were all from the underworld, with tempers and knives, so how could they tolerate you? Therefore, one person shouted loudly: "Go to hell!"

He immediately raised the long sword in his hand and swung it forward, the blade was fierce and powerful.

In an instant, he started fighting with those gangsters.

There was a constant sound of metal clashing and clanging, and sparks flying.

Time passes by breath by breath.

As more and more people from the martial arts world were caught up in the melee, people kept falling to the ground and dying, and more people joined in, and the sound of fighting continued.

The blood gradually soaked the entire underground palace, accumulating more and more to form a small blood swamp, and the death toll was no less than two hundred people.

The originally silent underground palace seemed to have life, continuously absorbing blood into the grooves on the floor.

In an instant, the blood turned into red light and madly poured into the stone statue in the center.

Boom!!!

Suddenly, the entire underground palace shook violently.

The people who were originally fighting could not stand steadily and fell down one after another.

They lay prone on the ground, their hands clasped into the moss-covered bricks, and nervously asked, "What the hell is going on?!"

“Why did the earthquake happen?”

When everyone was confused.

"Look, what is that!"

Suddenly someone pointed at the red light on the ground surrounding the stone statue in the distance.

I saw red light injected into the stone statue, causing the inside of the statue to begin to tear and shatter, and bright red blood seeped out from inside.

Just like a baby just born from the womb.

This is a strange feeling that I will never forget.

While everyone was swallowing their saliva, suddenly, an arm broke out of the stone statue. The hand was covered in blood, which was like amniotic fluid from the placenta, sliding down from the palm of the hand.

“Is this a ghost?”

Someone said with chattering teeth.

A sense of horror welled up from within.

When they wanted to turn around and run away, suddenly, an earth-shaking pressure squeezed their bodies in an instant, and everyone was crushed.

“Ahhhh!!!”

Screams echoed throughout the Dragon Rising Land.
