Something had happened while they were on duty, causing all three of them to be shrouded in shadow. Could the Spiritual Stone that Qin Tie had promised still be kept?

Damn it, let me know who it is, I have to beat them until they don't even recognize me!

He must compensate us, even the beast cores are not enough to compensate the Spiritual Stone.

Exactly.

The three of them followed the sound and found the back hall.

Although there were three torches, the Gui Xin Hall seemed to be able to absorb the light. The three people on duty could only barely see a single person standing on a stone pillar in the back hall, convulsing non-stop.

No matter how high their torches went, they could not see each other's faces.

The strange scene made them feel fear.

What should he do?

Should I get him down?

What if this was a sacrificial altar? Perhaps if he could absorb it, he would become a sacrifice. What if his blood essence was sucked dry?

It was better to go tell General Qin.

The three of them hurriedly retreated, and while trembling in fear, one of them even fell at the entrance of the great hall.

The two of you, guard the main hall. Don't let anyone escape.

One of them gave the order and ran towards the camp like a frightened rabbit.

At this time, Yi Zhou felt as if all the meridians in his body had been melted and burnt, and the pain was like that of needles pricking his skin.

Little Nine seemed to be talking to him, but he was already in a daze, unable to hear what Little Nine was saying.

The Primordial Spirit Qi that was circulating through his entire body suddenly turned around and rushed into Yi Zhou's Dantian.

Boom!

Just like thunder, Yi Zhou woke up from the shock, and the pain in every part of his body appeared again.

The nine divine grasses in Yi Zhou's Dantian extended their branches and leaves in unison, twisting and jumping about. They resonated passionately with the arrival of the Primal Qi.

After circling a few rounds around Yi Zhou's Dantian, the Primordial Spirit Qi suddenly rose up and rushed into a spirit vein.

Yi Zhou seemed to be able to hear a light crackling sound, the spirit vein that was initially clearing at half of the way was suddenly opened up!

At this time, Yi Zhou had already reached the fifth level of Qi Gathering.

Pain! So even the violent opening of the spirit vein was in such pain!

Beginning spiritual energy, ah, beginning spiritual energy. Since I'm already numb from the pain, why don't you open up the other spiritual veins!

Yi Zhou was having fun in the midst of his hardships. He was hoping that the Primordial Spirit Qi would allow him to directly enter the 9th level of Qi Gathering.

Yi Zhou knew that his previous shout had exposed his location, and when the three on duty outside came in, he knew as well.

It was just that Yi Zhou was currently unable to move, as if he was bound by an invisible force and could not leave the stone pillar at all.

Perhaps it wouldn't be long before that man called Qin Tie arrived.

He didn't know if he would kill him in front of everyone's eyes, but if he reached the 9th level of Qi Condensation, then he would be able to kill him within minutes without a problem.

It was unknown if it was because Yi Zhou's thoughts had backfired, or because he was tired of playing, but the Primordial Spirit Qi actually went back to his Dantian and actually stopped moving!

The Primordial Spiritual Energy is seeping into the inner wall of my Dantian!

Yi Zhou could clearly feel that the Primordial Spirit Qi was trying to fuse with his dantian.

Hurry, hurry!

Yi Zhou shouted anxiously in his heart, because he could already hear the chaotic sounds of footsteps in the palace.

General Qin, that man is at the back of the palace.

said a flattering voice.

Qin Tie had arrived!

Dozens of torches poured into the rear hall, but the illumination was still limited.

Qin Tie was walking in front of the group. He raised his head and looked at Yi Zhou who was standing on the stone pillar.

With his current realm, all the functions of his body were much stronger than others, but he could only vaguely make out Yi Zhou's face.

Could it be Yi Zhou?

Qin Tie suddenly took out a Night Light Stone, causing the entire back hall to light up slightly.

Qin Tie jumped up to a higher height than Yi Zhou. He raised the Night Light Stone in his left hand and brought it close to Yi Zhou's face.

Instantly, his eyes widened, and a sinister smile appeared on his face. He suddenly raised his right hand, and with all the strength in his body, he punched towards Yi Zhou's face.

Die!

Qin Tie's shout reverberated in the back hall. Some of the weaker cultivators were so shocked that their heads felt like they were about to burst.

Ah!

Yi Zhou was panicking in his heart. He did not expect Qin Tie to be so ruthless, to not hesitate at all.

He desperately swayed a few times, but Yi Zhou realized sorrowfully that he was still unable to leave the stone pillar!

Qin Tie's fist was getting closer and closer, the wind from his fist had already messed up Yi Zhou's hair bun.

The protective talisman and belt's functions were still under control, unable to be activated!

Yi Zhou was already feeling a little hopeless. He had originally hoped that the rules here would be the least alien, and perhaps these life saving methods would still take effect.

Would a substitutes puppet fail as well?

The only hope in Yi Zhou's heart, was to die for the puppet.

In reality, Qin Tie thought even faster than Yi Zhou. His fist had already reached Yi Zhou's face.

Pow!

An extremely clear sound suddenly emerged.

It stuck closely to Yi Zhou's body. There was actually a thin, transparent barrier, blocking the path of Qin Tie's fist.

Ah?

Qin Tie cried out in alarm. He didn't even notice that there was a barrier around him, not until before he had hit the target.

Moreover, the rebound force of the barrier was even greater than the force he emitted!

Dong!

Qin Tie was sent flying, crashing into the wall of the rear hall.

The entire palace began to tremble.

Ah!" General!

A few of them ran over to help Qin Tie.

Under the dim light of the fire, they saw a line of blood running down the corner of Qin Tie's mouth.

Just who was on the stone platform? He had actually slightly injured Qin Tie, who was at the ninth level of Qi Condensation!

The few of them looked at each other in dismay.

A ninth level of Qi Gathering was already a realm that allowed one to enter the highest level of Secret Realm.

From the looks of it, the person on the stone platform was not the other ninth level Qi Condensation expert, the owner of An Yi Market.

Qin Tie wiped off the blood at the corner of his mouth and stood up by himself. He looked towards Yi Zhou, his eyes overflowing with killing intent.

Try chopping with your weapons!

he ordered directly.

General, who is that person? You should be a member of our empire, right?

one of them asked timidly.

Those who were able to enter the Secret Realm must have at least some background. No one was able to clearly see Yi Zhou's appearance, and they did not know the background of the other party.

In the army, Qin Tie might not have any qualms about killing people, but they still had some doubts about offending someone or forming a death feud with them.

A dead man! Even if you kill him, I will still bring his head out of the Secret Realm. I won't let you be affected in the slightest. Don't you even believe in protecting Duke Wei's mansion?

If Qin Tie wanted to kill Yi Zhou, it would have nothing to do with Duke Wei Residence. He would have to deal with another interest group.

Yi Zhou wanted to speak, but it was as if he was currently trapped in a tight cover and unable to make a sound. However, even if he could speak, these people would probably give in under Qin Tie's threat.

Although most of the people below the Liquid Level cultivated their bodies and few chose to use their weapons, most of them carried a few swords and sabers with them as tools.

Immediately, a person who was in a hurry to show off in front of Qin Tie took out his treasure sword and slashed towards Yi Zhou's leg.

Clang!

The attacker's arm went numb as the sword was broken into two.

Watch me!

A burly, muscular man walked forward. He held a heavy hammer in his hand!

Before entering the Secret Realm, this burly man had already asked around from many people, and knew that there might be some extremely inconvenient things to take away there. He specially prepared a heavy hammer, precisely because he wanted to make it easier to smash at a critical moment.

The surrounding people hurriedly took a few steps back, afraid that they would be caught in the crossfire.

Seeing the burly man with a heavy hammer walking towards him, Yi Zhou simply closed his eyes. Right now, he could only hope that this protective cover that had appeared out of the blue could withstand it.

However, the hammer was a heavy weapon. Even if it could not break through the barrier, could he withstand the shock?

Yi Zhou took a deep breath, and formed another barrier of Qi around his body.

Hey!

The big man raised the heavy hammer high up and suddenly smashed it down!

The wind brought by the heavy hammer howled in the air.

Done!

With this strike, even the stone pillars would be smashed to smithereens!

Stop talking nonsense and quickly cover your ears!

Even Qin Tie's eyes lit up.

Boom!

It was like a thunderclap that exploded in everyone's ears. The accumulated dirt on the beams in the main hall was also shaken down.

After the dizziness had passed, the crowd raised their torches to observe closely. The barrier was still intact, but cracks had already appeared!

A few more times and it will break.

Someone said happily.

Ah!" My hand! At this moment, the big man cried out in pain.

By borrowing the light from the fire, everyone could see that the big man's palm had already shattered and no longer had the strength to strike again!

Step back, I'll do it!

At this moment, Qin Tie walked over and picked up the heavy hammer from the ground.

The head of the hammer had become somewhat deformed, but using it a dozen times shouldn't be a problem.

And how many more times could the protective shield on Yi Zhou's body withstand it?

Qin Tie raised his head and looked at Yi Zhou. He didn't know if Yi Zhou would be able to see it, but he smiled in the end.

It was full of ridicule.

Qin Tie raised his sledgehammer and smashed it towards the crack that had already appeared.

Weng! *

Suddenly, the great hall began to shake. The amplitude was so great that it caused one to be unable to stand properly.

A milky-white ball of mist came out from the top of the hall, quickly enveloping Yi Zhou, and started spinning.

This? This was the defensive array formation of the Hall of Return!

Those who were skilled in formations immediately cried out in alarm.

Following the entry of the white ball of mist, the entire palace had already started to brighten, and the source of light, was precisely the stone pillar beneath Yi Zhou's feet.

Under the shroud of the mist, the people were even more unable to see Yi Zhou's face.

However, they knew that wanting to break through the newly formed barrier was already a pipe dream.

Prepare firewood and set fire to it!

Qin Tie's voice was incomparably cold.

Fire?

Hearing Qin Tie's words, everyone who had followed him was stunned.

To be honest, setting fire to a fire can be both economical and likely to work.
