Suddenly, a huge force pulled them into the alley, and the next moment, a cold sword blade was against their necks.

Sheng He hid half of her face in the shadows. She held the sword and asked in a grim tone, "Who sent you here?"

“I…I…”

Sheng He's eyes were sharp, and the hand holding the sword slowly moved forward a few inches, and a blood mark suddenly appeared on the necks of the two men.

"One is in the middle stage of Qi training, and the other is in the late stage of Qi training. If I kill you here, do you think your master will avenge you?"

The man was shaking like a sieve, his face was covered with tears, and he immediately shouted:

"Have mercy! Fairy, have mercy! I'll tell you everything!"

"It's Master Wang!"

"Young Master Wang told us to follow you and make sure you can't leave Sheng'an City."

"Master Wang?" A long and thin face immediately appeared in Sheng He's mind, "Wang Zheng?"

"Yes! Yes!"

"Go back and tell your young master not to follow me anymore! Otherwise..."

Sheng He sneered and put down his sword: "Get lost!"

The two men quickly crawled away.

"You guys get out too!"

There was no movement around.

Sheng He raised his head and looked at the rooftops and treetops not far away. He turned his wrist slightly and five darts shot out immediately.

Only after hearing the sounds of people falling to the ground and screaming one after another and confirming that all the followers following him were gone, did Sheng He quickly walk out of the alley.

The woman in gray was still sweating profusely as she searched for Sheng He on the street. She was anxious and her pace unconsciously quickened. She tripped over something and was about to fall when a slender hand held her steadily.

"Don't worry, walk slowly, there's no one following us."

The woman in gray looked at the strange face in front of her and was about to avoid it, but she smelled a familiar scent. She asked tentatively, "Are you... Miss Sheng?"

"Um."

As if the hand had noticed that she was having difficulty walking, it had been supporting her. She breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Miss Sheng."

"Miss Sheng, now that we are safe, can you return the mermaid to me? I am willing to give you 50,000 mid-grade spirit stones as a reward."

"No hurry, what's your name?"

"My name is A Yuan, Miss Sheng, this mermaid is really important to me. If 50,000 spirit stones are not enough, I... I..."

"One hundred thousand, one hundred thousand spirit stones, can you get them?"

"One hundred thousand?"

A Yuan was stunned and unconsciously touched his injured thigh.

"Yes, I can get it, Miss Sheng, you..."

"What about the 200,000?" Sheng He raised his eyebrows, lowered his head, and looked at A Yuan seriously, "Give me 200,000 middle-grade spirit stones, and I will return this mermaid to you, how about that?"

“Two hundred thousand…”

Ah Yuan widened his eyes slightly and looked at Sheng He helplessly: "I..."

"If you can't give me so many spirit stones, I will sell the mermaid to someone else, like that fat man."

Chen Zichuan: Okay, okay, sell it to me quickly.

“Two hundred thousand…”

A Yuan clenched the corner of her clothes, her legs trembling constantly, but her gaze suddenly became firm when it touched Sheng He's sleeves.

"Okay, I promise you!"

"Ms. Sheng, this mermaid is very important to me. Please give me two days. I will collect 200,000 spirit stones for you within two days."

Sheng He felt waves of tingling pain in his scalp. He took off a few broken hairs from three small hairpins and cast a spell to immobilize him.

She glanced at A Yuan's legs and chuckled, "No hurry, flying is prohibited in the city, let's wait until we are out of the city."

Three little carrot heads: We just want to remind you that we haven’t done anything bad, and we are definitely not seeking revenge.

After leaving the city, Sheng He took out Ao Shuang and was about to leave Sheng'an City when he suddenly heard a sound of breaking air behind him. Sheng He hurriedly pulled A Yuan to the side to avoid it.

A long spear pierced straight into the place where Sheng He had just stood, and dust rose up all over the sky, and even the surrounding ground collapsed a little.

Sheng He protected A Yuan behind him and looked up at the person who came.

He was a middle-aged man who looked like he was used to a life of luxury. He wore a purple robe and his hair was tied up with a jeweled jade hairpin. He exuded nobility from head to toe.

Chen Yuanhua stood on the city wall, looking down at Sheng He.

There were not many civilians outside the city, and the city gates had been closed long ago after Sheng He and the others left the city. More than a dozen men in black rushed out of the dense forest outside the city and surrounded Sheng He and A Yuan.

This is a feast specially prepared for Shenghe.

Chen Yuanhua flew down from the city wall, pulled out his spear, and pointed the sharp silver-white tip directly at Sheng He.

"Hand over the mermaid, and I will consider letting you live."

"No...don't..." A Yuan pulled Sheng He's sleeve, his face full of nervousness and anxiety, "I will definitely give you the spirit stone, don't give the spirit...mermaid to them."

Feeling the spiritual power stirring in his dantian, Sheng He gently raised his lips and whispered in A Yuan's ear: "Don't worry, remember to run far away later, the farther the better."

Under A Yuan's puzzled gaze, Sheng He slapped her chest with one palm, and Ao Shuang instantly flew into the air.

A Yuan widened her eyes, and the next moment, a huge sound of wind was heard. By the time she reacted, Ao Shuang had already taken her far away.

She looked at the rolling black clouds above Sheng'an City in shock. Before she had time to worry about the mermaid and Sheng He, a huge purple thunder rushed down from the clouds and struck Sheng'an City directly.

"You...what do you want to do!?"

Chen Yuanhua looked at the spiritual energy that continued to leak out of Sheng He and suddenly felt a little uneasy.

“Boom!”

There was a sudden sound of thunder, and Chen Yuanhua finally realized what Sheng He was going to do and stepped back repeatedly.

"You are crazy! You want to survive the thunder tribulation at this time!"

Sheng He closed her eyes tightly, cold sweat continuously flowing down her forehead. In her dantian, the wood spiritual roots and earth spiritual roots had been tempered by spiritual energy over and over again, emitting a crystal light. In the center of the five spiritual roots, a small golden elixir phantom had been formed.

“Boom!”

Another loud thunder sounded, and a huge purple lightning suddenly struck down.

The thunderbolt does not harm mortals, and Chen Yuanhua hurriedly wanted to hide in the city. However, before he could escape into the city, the ground in front of him was struck and charred.

A large black cloud loomed over Sheng He's head, thunder and lightning surged and roared in the clouds, and then, with flashes of lightning, countless thunders fell from the sky, each of which contained extremely powerful force.

Sheng He took a deep breath and looked up at the large black cloud.

Countless thunderbolts fell on her, and huge electric currents passed through her body. Every inch of flesh and bone in her body seemed to be crushed and put together again.

Sheng He fell to his knees, spat out a mouthful of blood, and then forced himself to stand up again.

Her internal organs seemed to be shattered. Thunder continued in the sky, one after another falling without stopping, but Sheng He still stood there stubbornly, refusing to fall down.
