But before Xing Dai even walked out the door, a guard slashed his throat with a sword!

Xing Dai covered his bleeding neck and looked back in disbelief at the city lord who was sitting calmly at the top.

The Lord of Yuexi City said coldly, "Unfortunately, I never believe in the promises of the living. Only the dead have the strictest words."

Then the city lord looked at the blood-soaked carpet in front of him with a look of pity, shook his head and said, "What a pity for this carpet, take it and throw it away."

Upon hearing the order, the man who had just swung his sword to kill Xing Dai bowed and said, "It's the city lord."

When Qing Ruxu woke up, all he saw was darkness.

When he was a child, he was locked up in a small, dark space by his father and abused. Since then, he has developed a fear of such small, dark spaces.

Qing Ruxu was trembling all over and her heart was beating faster and faster.

She could even feel that she was having difficulty breathing, and she wanted to mobilize the spiritual energy in her body to suppress this fear.

She had always done this in the past, so no one had ever discovered that she had this problem. But today, no matter how she tried to mobilize her spiritual energy, she couldn't use it.

Until then, accompanied by a "creak" sound, a ray of fire shone in, and Qing Ruxu felt that his condition had eased a lot.

After seeing the person clearly through the firelight, Qing Ruxu was very sure that he did not know the person in front of him.

"Who are you? Why did you tie me up here?"

There was still a hint of trembling in the voice.

The Lord of Yuexi City thought that the other party was kidnapped and was too scared, so he became even more arrogant.

"It doesn't matter who I am, but if you still want to live, you should stay here and make pills for me."

Before Qing Ruxu could think of how to respond, he heard the Lord of Yuexi City continue, "Don't think I'm exaggerating. Do you know how I became the Lord of Yuexi City? The elders of the inner sect of Wandao Sect are my connections. You'd better listen to me."

Qing Ruxu: "..."

She didn't know what to say now. She pointed at herself and asked, "Then do you know who I am?"

The Lord of Yuexi City snorted disdainfully, "Isn't he just a disciple of Mu Yuanshan? Even if your backer is powerful, so what? This is the territory of Wandao Sect. The mountains are high and the roads are long. How can Mu Yuanshan be sure that something happened to you here? I advise you to be obedient if you want to save your life!"

Qing Ruxu's previous fear had completely disappeared, and she just felt it was funny.

But she didn't intend to reveal her identity. Just like this person said, she really couldn't escape.

Qing Ruxu lowered her brows, making it impossible to see her expression.

Moreover, he already knew the other party's activities. Even if Qing Ruxu revealed that he was a disciple of Wen Lingfeng, he was afraid that the other party would not let him go.

This guy obviously didn't do this for the first time, and he will probably be killed to silence him.

It’s a good thing that the other party mistakenly thinks that I am Mu Yuanshan’s disciple.

Her spiritual energy needs to be unlocked when refining the elixir, so we can only see if there is a chance to escape at that time.

Qing Ruxu raised her head and looked directly at the other person and said, "Okay, but I can't live here. If there is no spiritual energy, I will feel suffocated in the confined space. I don't think you will let me continue to retain spiritual energy after I finish refining the elixir, right?"

The Lord of Yuexi City certainly wouldn't do that, but he wouldn't really believe what Qing said either.

What does it feel like to suffocate in a confined space?

How could such a disease exist in the world?

However, before I can tell all this, I still have to wait until the other party has finished refining the elixir. Now I should focus on comforting him.

The Lord of Yuexi City tried his best to appear kind.

"Okay, you refine the elixir I need first, and then I will change the place for you."

A day later, the City Lord of Yuexi City nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the elixir placed in front of him. At this time, Qing Ruxu's spiritual energy had been sealed again.

She did think about escaping, but her legs were bound by the soul-locking ropes, and the city lord was personally supervising her, so she could not escape.

"Now that the elixir has been refined, can you give me a new place?"

The Lord of Yuexi City sneered: "Do you really think I believe your lies? There is no such a strange disease."

Having said that, without waiting for Qing to object, he locked the door with the only light on again.

The world was falling apart and returning to darkness again. In this dark and narrow environment, she could only try to hold herself tightly.

She shook her sleeves, dropping a few spiritual herbs onto the ground.

Qing Ruxu took a deep breath and tried to calm the fear in her heart. Fortunately, she had made a backup plan.

The spiritual herbs had been processed briefly before. Now all he had to do was crush them and mix them according to the right proportions to remove the spiritual powder from his body.

On the other side, Lin Hao and Lin Jinxing also planned to leave.

Lin Hao thought of Qing Ruxu at this time and said, "I don't know if Senior Sister Qing has arrived at Muyuan Mountain safely. Why not contact her?"

Lin Jinxing naturally listened to Lin Hao and took out the communication jade slip. The two waited for a moment, but no one responded to the communication jade slip.

I tried to contact him several times later but no one responded.

Lin Hao and Lin Jinxing looked at each other and realized that something had happened.

On the other side, after getting the elixir, the City Lord of Yuexi City immediately ran to Guihai City and presented the refined elixir directly to the outer sect elder of Wandao Sect.

Even though he boasted in front of Qing Ruxu that he knew the inner sect elders, in fact, he only knew the outer sect elders.

But this is enough, after all, something really happened.

The outer sect elders who manage miscellaneous affairs are much more useful than the inner sect elders who do not care about worldly affairs.

The outer door and the inner door sounded like they were separated by only one door.

But the actual distance is very different. The inner disciples only need to concentrate on cultivation, but the outer disciples and elders spend most of their time dealing with worldly affairs. Therefore, it is difficult for the outer disciples to come into contact with the inner disciples.

He stood in front of the outer sect elders, without any of the arrogance he showed towards other people.

At this time, he nodded and handed over several jade bottles containing elixirs to the other party and said, "Elder Zhao, please accept these."

Elder Zhao looked at the jade bottle in his hand, opened the bottle cap and smelled it, then nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad, the quality of today's elixir is good."

The Lord of Yuexi City lowered his body and said, "I just found a new alchemist, and he immediately offered me the best elixir."

Elder Zhao was even more satisfied after hearing this, but even so he still reminded her: "That's right, but remember to hide your tracks and don't get discovered, otherwise I can't protect you!"

The Lord of Yuexi City apologized with a smile, "Yes, yes, yes! Elder, don't worry. Are you still unsure about my work?"

"You are always cautious in doing things, so I am naturally relieved. Go back and don't let anyone find you."

Elder Zhao waved his hand and asked the other party to retreat.

After the Lord of Yuexi City left, Elder Zhao looked at the bottles of pills in front of him and was satisfied no matter how he looked at them.
