The young man had an unkempt head and bare feet, a sallow complexion, and an obvious scar on his forehead. He seemed to have endured a lot of torture.
At this time, he looked around curiously and quickly noticed the sapphire on the crystal ball.
With an expression of surprise and uncertainty, he slowly stretched out his hand.
King Lu's back was straightened, and he was watching the other party's movements with all his attention.
The young man's rough big hand quickly grabbed Qingyu!
Yang Zhen seemed to be able to feel that the breathing of the three people in front stopped for an instant!
Suddenly, the boy let out a silent scream, his face showed extreme pain, he pressed his head tightly with both hands, and rolled around on the ground.
This is a sign that the soul has been severely damaged!
"Too reckless." Mu Zixue shook her head and sighed.
King Lu stood up and grabbed Zhou Yuan's collar first, then saw a flash of white light and threw him into the spirit beast bag.
Then he buried his head into one of the space entrances and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Chief Shi Mu Qichen followed closely behind.
Yang Zhen suppressed the impatience in her heart, sat on the ground with Mu Zixue, and continued to observe the movement in front of her.
About two-quarters of an hour later, King Lu and Mu Qichen appeared at the bottom of the cave one after another, but Zhou Yuan did not come out.
The young man was still wailing and writhing on the ground.
Mu Qichen looked sarcastic, flipped his wrist, and ended the man's life.
King Lu turned a blind eye and strode up to Qingyu, his narrow eyes full of greed.
After looking at it for a long time, he took out a jade hairpin from the storage ring and inserted it into his bun. He also took out a gray-brown cassock and wrapped it around his body.
Obviously, these are two treasures that protect the soul.
After finishing dressing up, the prince in the middle stage of the Golden Elixir sat down cross-legged next to Qingyu and closed his eyes in concentration.
After a quarter of an hour, a long sword suddenly appeared in his hand, and it slowly pointed towards Qingyu.
Mu Qichen didn't dare to breathe, and stared with a wary face.
After a while, the long sword touched the sapphire. After a few breaths, the long sword was put away. King Lu stretched out a finger and tentatively touched the sapphire. Then the middle finger, the ring finger, and finally the whole palm grasped the sapphire.
During the whole process, nothing unusual happened.
King Lu had an expression of ecstasy on his face, and he lifted it up with one hand, only to see that the sapphire was not moving at all.
It seemed that he was connected with the crystal ball under him and even the entire cave.
King Lu hugged Qingyu with both hands and shouted loudly, but it still had no effect.
The golden elixir master frowned, and after pondering for a long time, he slowly sat down, holding a corner of the sapphire with each hand, his eyes slightly closed, his legs crossed, and he gradually entered a state of selflessness.
"He is trying to refine sapphire." Mu Zixue murmured.
At this moment, a few feet in front of the two of them, a green light suddenly appeared. It was a piece of broken leaf that Yiyi sent out to find a way out.
"Let's go!" Mu Zixue shouted immediately.
Although the tone was calm, Yang Zhen could hear the anxiety hidden in it.
…
The two continued their path-finding journey like the previous days.
At the current speed, it takes about two hours on average to explore a space. After passing two spaces, Yiyi must set aside two hours to rest and recover.
Almost four spaces can be completed every day.
Based on this calculation, they still need four to five days for the remaining eighteen spaces.
However, the further you move forward, the stronger the scent of the half-moon soul remaining in the space becomes, and the time Yiyi spends searching for a way out of the space gradually decreases.
Maybe three days is enough.
"Once King Lu successfully refines the sapphire, he will have a weapon in his hand that can be used to attack the soul. It is even possible to defeat me by leapfrogging." Mu Zixue said with a solemn expression.
One day later, when they passed the twenty-second space, there were changes ahead.
Large clouds of smoke grew at the bottom of the cave, instantly shrouding King Lu and Mu Qichen, and their figures gradually disappeared.
Only the dim green light could not cover it up and continued to reveal the existence of sapphire.
"They sensed that something happened to the Prime Minister and were trying to prevent us from spying on him," Mu Zixue said.
Yang Zhen was convinced.
Two more days later, the two of them had passed through thirty-four spaces, leaving only the last two!
Just at this moment, in the white mist-filled cave bottom ahead, there were changes again!
…
First, the light of sapphire disappeared.
This means that the other party has initially refined this rare treasure.
Mu Zixue's beautiful face showed a hint of worry.
However, what happened next left the two of them even more stunned.
I saw white light flashing in the mist, and dozens of figures swaying in the shadows.
Immediately afterwards, the smoke that had been relatively calm suddenly began to roll and roll in large groups, accompanied by colorful spiritual lights flashing, as if someone was releasing various spells.
Soon, blood mist splashed and corpses flew everywhere!
The front has become a killing area!
The killing only lasted for a few breaths, and the rolling clouds gradually subsided, and the previous calm was restored again.
The color of the clouds and mist has turned into a dark red color exuding blood.
If you look carefully, you can vaguely see some corpses lying on the ground.
"Why is this?" Yang Zhen asked in surprise.
Mu Zixue shook her head and frowned: "It must be because of the sapphire. That thing seems to be a bit evil, and it may need to be sacrificed with human life and blood."
"How many lives are needed?" Yang Zhen gritted her teeth.
"With the power of sapphire, the more, the better."
In this way, King Lu should have taken out the remaining prisoners in the spirit beast bag and killed them all.
"Where's Zhou Yuan, will he die too?" Yang Zhen exclaimed.
Their mission is to capture this man alive. If he cannot be captured alive, he must be sure of this guy's life and death, and he must not be allowed to leak the sect's secrets.
After the blood sacrifice is over, King Lu will definitely destroy the corpse and eliminate all traces. At that time, unless they catch Lu Wang and look through his spirit beast bag, they will not be able to judge Zhou Yuan's life or death!
With Zhou Yuan's spatial talent, it was more likely that King Lu would spare his life.
On the other hand, if King Lu didn't care about his talent and let him die in the chaos just now, it means that he did not reveal the secret of the sect to King Lu.
Because the value of that secret existence is even greater than that of sapphire!
Mu Zixue explained her analysis in detail, and finally said categorically: "If we want to see people alive or dead, we must find Zhou Yuan!"
"We must also prevent King Lu from completing the blood sacrifice!" She looked at Yang Zhen, not hiding her worries: "Otherwise, once the blood sacrifice is completed, King Lu will completely refine the sapphire, and the power of this thing is immeasurable. At that time..."
She didn't say anything further, the meaning was self-evident.
Yang Zhen didn't answer, her consciousness sank into the bluestone world, where Yiyi was sleeping soundly next to Yao Yicao.
Xiao Xiancao has to rest once every two spaces she explores. This is her last rest.
Yang Zhen felt a pain in her heart and was about to shake her head, but saw Xiao Xiancao opening her eyes:
"Brother, I heard everything you said. Let's hurry up. Yiyi will be fine!"
…
three hours later
It was as if a blade was gently cutting, causing a slight ripple in the space, and a broken leaf came out.
Half a foot away, a young man covered in blood, with slightly closed eyelids and a somewhat evil look on his face suddenly opened his eyes!
】
Looking at the green leaves that suddenly appeared in front of me, I looked shocked and angry!
Finally, it turned into a cruel sneer!
ps: It is expected that there will be one more chapter to end Qingyu’s plot, so let’s wait for tomorrow.
