“Thank you, my lord!” Seeing that his life was saved, Xu You hurriedly turned around and left. However, Qin Fei did not notice that a bone-deep hatred flashed in his eyes and a sinister sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Now that the crown prince had obtained the root, only the Emperor Flower remained.

This Xu You really gave him a gift!

Qin Fei laughed and walked out of the city.

As for Ge Zun’s complaint to Xu You, he was too lazy to pay attention to it. He didn’t have the heart to deal with such a lowly person. On the other hand, he actually had to thank him. If he hadn’t complained to Xu You, the crown prince wouldn’t have gotten it.

After calculating the time, Ye Guye brought An Ruicheng and the others hundreds of thousands of miles away. He had to seize the time to refine the pills. It was not too late to rush there. If Ye Guye killed Han Xiong and the others, he would regret it.

In a luxurious courtyard in Sacred Blood City, Xu You sat in his room, covered in blood, cultivating. He took out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth. Soon, the wound stopped bleeding, and the bloody hole was almost healed.

However, his expression was still unsightly. Although his injuries were healed, Qin Fei’s strength was still left in his body. It was actually unable to be eliminated for a long time, making it impossible for him to release any profound energy.

“Boom!”

Right at this moment, the entire courtyard trembled fiercely, and an extremely powerful aura descended.

Xu You’s expression changed drastically. He was directly shaken to the ground by that aura. His expression was incomparably panicked, a hundred times more terrified than when he faced Qin Fei wanting to kill him.

“Master … Master …” He said in a trembling voice, as if he was about to die.

“Evil beast” A furious snort came from the void, followed by a skinny figure appearing in the room and standing in front of him.

This was a tall and skinny old man. His face was wrinkled and his facial features were deeply sunken. His entire body was covered with a layer of skin. He stationed an ancient and strange walking stick. The head of the walking stick was carved with a ferocious blood-colored skeleton. It looked extremely frightening. The skeleton’s mouth was constantly spitting out blood mist.

The old man’s eyebrows and beards were very luxuriant and long, covering most of his face. His hair was very thin, and his scalp was exposed. A few strands of white hair landed on top of it, making him look very funny.

“Master, spare me!” Xu You seemed to have done something wrong. The moment he saw the old man, his entire body trembled with fear. His face was pale and he kept kowtowing to beg for mercy.

“Look at your character.” The old man looked at him coldly and stretched out his skinny palm. “Hand over the things you stole from me, and I will let you die a happy death!”

The way he spoke was not to his disciple, as if he was facing an enemy.

Xu You trembled and said, “Master, all disciples are momentarily confused! Please spare my life! Ever since I betrayed the sect, I have been blaming myself and have always wanted to apologize to you. I know that I was wrong, and I will repay you in the future by being a cow and a horse!”

“Cut the crap! Hand it over, or else I’ll use your soul to endure ten thousand years of torture!” The old man said coldly.

“Master, please spare my life! The crown prince’s root has been snatched away, so this disciple can’t bring it out!” Xu You said in a trembling voice.

“What? Someone snatched it away? You want to lie to me?” The old man was enraged. He grabbed Xu You with one hand and carefully searched his body. Then, he directly took his storage ring and looked inside.

“Damn it!” His eyes revealed a sinister light as he looked at Xu You, “Quickly tell me, where did you hide the crown prince’s root?”

“Master, this disciple doesn’t dare to lie to you! He was really snatched away by someone, half an hour ago!” Xu You said.

“Hmph! You snatched it away? You can fool others, but you can’t fool this old man! It seems that you won’t tell me if you don’t torture your soul!” The old man’s gaze turned cold as he raised the walking stick in his hand. The skull spat out a mist of blood at Xu You.

Xu You looked at the blood mist and his expression immediately changed. Once the blood mist was sucked into his body, it would directly attack his soul. The pain he suffered was incomparably intense. He had seen the old man torture countless people with this method, and the horrible scenes still existed today.

“Ah …”

As soon as the blood mist entered his body, Xu You let out a pig-like howl. He rolled on the ground in pain. Blood oozed out of his pores and dyed the floor red. He painfully grabbed the skin with his hands, leaving behind numerous bloody wounds, but it wasn’t easy at all.

The pain from his soul soon knocked him out.

The old man knocked on his skylid with his cane and immediately woke up.

“Tell me! I can give you a good time!” The old man said coldly. He did not have the slightest bit of his master’s pity for his disciple. Instead, he was as ruthless as an enemy.

“Master, this disciple is telling the truth. You saw my injury. It was caused by that person. At that time, he wanted to kill me, so I had no choice but to use the crown prince’s root to save my life …”

“Oh? Do you still recognize that person?” The old man frowned. He knew his methods best, and no one could bear it. There was no point in Xu You lying to himself at this time.

Moreover, looking at the injuries on his body, it was indeed very serious.

He pointed the skull at Xu You again, but this time, Xu You heaved a sigh of relief.

The skull did not spit out a mist of blood at him. Instead, it sucked back the mist of blood from before, causing his expression to relax. The pain in the depths of his soul finally subsided.

“Bring me to that person! He dares to take the crown prince’s root! He simply doesn’t know whether to die or not!” The old man said coldly.

Xu You hurriedly nodded. When he buried his head, a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

Actually, he had already planned it when he handed over the crown prince’s root to Qin Fei. Of course, such a good treasure would not be given out in vain.

He had a master-apprentice relationship with the old man, The old man was a powerful pill refiner from the Underworld Prison Palace’s Pill Hall. With the strength of the fifth level of the God King, the old man’s name was Gongyang Song. Xu You had followed him for a thousand years. Ten years ago, Gongyang Song had obtained the crown prince’s root. This was one of the main ingredients for refining the God King Pill. Xu You had always wanted to obtain a strong strength. As long as he refined the God King Pill, he would be able to improve his strength by leaps and bounds and avoid being bullied.

Therefore, he took advantage of Gongyang Song’s absence to steal the Crown Prince’s Root, and then escaped from the Underworld Prison Manor to hide in Sacred Blood City.

For ten years, he had been holding back in Sacred Blood City, not daring to cause any trouble, because once his aura was exposed, he would definitely be sensed by Gongyang Song. At that time, he would definitely be worse off than dead.

The purpose of taking out the Dream Soul Golden Pill he refined for auction was to earn more divine stones so that he could purchase other main ingredients to refine the pill.

Who knew that the Dream Soul Golden Core had actually been snatched away? Without the divine stone, his goal could not be achieved. It was precisely because of this that he had to take the risk of being discovered by Gongyang Song to deal with Qin Fei. He wanted to snatch back the Dream Soul Golden Core. Who knew that the Golden Core had not been snatched back? In the end, he even handed over the Crown Prince’s Root to save his life.

Handing over the crown prince’s root was something he had considered carefully. The moment Qin Fei made his move, he knew that he had encountered an expert. The strength of the second level of the God King was definitely not something he could handle. Then, let Gongyang Song handle it.

He knew very well that Gongyang Song cared about the crown prince’s roots. Once he knew who it was, he would definitely pursue him to the end. He was convinced that Qin Fei was definitely no match for Gongyang Song. At that time, Gongyang Song would help him avenge him.

Of course, once Qin Fei was killed, Gongyang Song would definitely not let him go.

Therefore, Gongyang Song asked him to lead the way to Qin Fei. He had to buy himself some chips.

“Master, this disciple is very willing to bring you to him, but you must promise to let me go after finding him! Otherwise, this disciple would rather die by your hands than go!” He raised his head and said firmly.

“Are you threatening this old man?” Gongyang Song’s eyes turned cold.

“Master, it’s not a threat, it’s to save your life! I’m your disciple, so I naturally know what you’re doing. As long as you swear to spare me, I’ll bring you to him immediately!” Xu You said calmly.

Gongyang Song glanced at him, pondered for a moment, and then nodded lightly, “Alright, I, Gongyang Song, swear on the heavens and earth that Xu You and I will find the crown prince’s root, and I will let him go. If there is a violation, his soul will shatter and die!”

He couldn’t either. He had to take back the crown prince’s root. He needed to refine the sixth level of the Divine King pill to increase his strength. Now that he had the Emperor Flower and the Ten Thousand Year Crow, he only needed the crown prince’s root. It was extremely difficult to find and he had to obtain it.

As for Xu You, he was just an ant. In fact, life and death had no effect on him. This time, it was up to him. It wouldn’t be too late to deal with him if there was a chance in the future.
