Seeing that Lee Xun and the others were all taken care of, Dou Lu and the rest heaved a sigh of relief. Only Qian Rushan had a deathly pale face, and had lost his right arm that was holding the sword.

"Qian Rushan, quickly retrieve your arm and freeze it. Follow me back to the Eastern Ocean.

Hearing Dou Lu's reminder, Qian Rushan acted as if he had been reborn as he immediately ran towards his broken arm. Just as Qian Rushan bent down to pick up the broken arm, he saw that it was burning itself up, causing him to immediately sit down on the ground in fright. He looked at this strange scene in a daze, not knowing what to do.

"All of you, die! Don't even think about escaping!" The one who said this was precisely Qin Qing. Her voice caused Dou Lu and the other two to feel a chill run down their spines when they heard it, and a type of fear that came from the depths of their hearts involuntarily arose.

Qin Qing's body slowly floated up, and on her beautiful face, two lines of blood tears could be seen. Those dark red blood tears, those eyeballs that were originally filled with spirit energy, now revealed flames. A huge amount of energy emitted from Qin Qing's body, forming an energy wall that emitted a brilliant purple light.

"Heavens! Heaven Rank Rankers! Quickly! Stop her!"

Qin Qing's current state, free to float, energy defensive walls, these were the characteristics of the Heaven Rank Rankers. Dou Lu didn't know why the current Qin Qing, who was only at the peak of the twelfth step, would so instantly possess the strength of a Heaven Rank Rankers, but the current Qin Qing seemed to be going through some sort of ceremony as her strength continuously increased. Although it was inconceivable, Dou Lu knew that he had to interrupt Qin Qing's condition. If not, when Qin Qing finished, the three of them would definitely die.

The three of them did not dare delay, and released their strongest sword Qis one after the other, attacking Qin Qing. However, all the attacks were like an ant trying to shake a tree, and the moment they touched the purple energy wall, they were like raindrops falling into water.

Even after using all of his strength to attack for five minutes, it was still useless, but Qin Qing's beautiful face was still calm. There was no sign of joy or anger, only two lines of tears that were still flowing, showing the extreme sorrow in Qin Qing's heart, and all of this made Dou Lu and the other two feel even more terrified.

"Elder Lu, Elder Fu, I will delay them. The two of you should hurry up and go back to report to the patriarch. Maybe we've offended someone we can't afford to offend." Dou Guo's special Spiritual Sword was already a Spiritual Sword at such a young age, and there was even a Purple Spirit Fire Fox following behind him. Adding on to that, a person who was only at the twelfth step earlier, in the blink of an eye, like a rocket, he already possessed the strength of Heaven Realm. From this, it could be seen that if there were still people supporting Lee Xun and the others behind him, then what kind of strong force would that be.

"Brother Fu, Dou Guo, the two of you should leave. If I stay, maybe I can delay a little longer. You two should quickly split up and leave, don't hesitate anymore, our clan's safety is more important."

Dou Fu wanted to say something, but in the end, he fiercely said, "Let's go."

"Clang", the two Dou Fu Dou Guo who were running away crashed into the wall before he could escape. He almost fainted on the spot.

"Spatial barrier."

Dou Lu was dumbstruck. Although this was the first time he had seen such a thing, he had heard of the Heaven Rank Rankers's methods before. This was something that even the clan master couldn't do.

When the three of them regrouped, they finally experienced what was called despair.

However, just as Qin Qing's energy defensive wall was formed, inside a pitch-black mountain cave that was about a hundred kilometers away, a silk-clothed elderly man who was meditating and cultivating suddenly opened his eyes.

"This is the oneness of the spirit. I wonder who has the luck to do so. Since it's just right for us to meet, let's go and be an audience. "

The figure of the old man in embroidered clothes gradually became blurry before the surrounding space began to tear apart.

"Elder Lu, Elder Fu, what should we do now?" Dou Guo was now like a withered eggplant, even his words seemed to be lacking in spirit.

"Let's wait for a while longer. Once there's a chance, the three of us will split up and flee, and no matter what happens, we must immediately rush back to the East Sea. The patriarch in front of us, the matter today is unimaginable, if we don't handle it properly, my Dou Family will suffer a calamity." Although Dou Lu had lost all hope, he could only console his with these words. Even the patriarch of Dou Family couldn't create a spatial barrier, so how could the three of them escape?

As her aura stopped rising, the energy around Qin Qing's body also reached a peak. The purple flames that had only appeared in her eyes at the beginning, had now already spread to her entire body and completely engulfed Qin Qing. The current Qin Qing was like a phoenix rebirthing from the ashes.

"Not good, it's not a fusion of spirit and man, it's actually a sacrifice of the soul. What had happened to this girl to make such a choice? "Since we've met, let's give it a try and help her." The one who spoke was the old man dressed in embroidered clothes who could use Spatial Power s.

The old man in embroidered clothes walked in front of Qin Qing very easily, he did not encounter any obstacles in his way. Dou Lu and the other two looked at this old man who had suddenly appeared in shock.

"Senior, please save us." Dou Lu did not need to think too much into it, as long as he could return alive and relay today's news, anything would be fine, he immediately knelt down towards the old man in embroidered clothing, but his words did not sound flustered or disrespectful, he only respectfully begged for help. A mature person would only be able to move others with their sincerity if they were to bow and kneel.

Seeing Dou Lu kneel, Dou Fu Dou Guo also knelt down.

The old man did not even turn around to look at Dou Lu. He acted as if he did not hear anything. Suddenly, the old man's hands quickly formed seals, leaving behind afterimages as he shot a string of golden runes straight at Qin Qing's forehead.

"Evil creature, why did you harm your master?"

A young and flustered voice replied, "Master was just seeking death, that's why I told her the way to sacrifice her soul. If possible, I don't want Master to lose consciousness."

"Hmm, I've observed before. It doesn't seem like you were the one who took it from me. Now that you cooperate with me, perhaps you can save your master."

"Yes."

The old man continued inserting a series of golden runes into Qin Qing's forehead. The purple flames surrounding Qin Qing gradually disappeared, returning back into his eyes, until they completely disappeared. During this process, Qin Qing's majestic aura had also gradually weakened, and the purple light energy wall had also disappeared without a trace.

Qin Qing, who was freely floating in the air, fell down uncontrollably the moment the purple energy wall disappeared. The old man caught Qin Qing and laid him gently on the ground. She checked her pulse and Qi and then nodded her head: "I was lucky."

Sensing that Qin Qing's current strength had once again fallen to the twelfth step, Dou Lu and the other two were convinced by the terrifying strength of this old man. This was definitely another Heaven Rank Rankers, but at the same time, they realized that this was the best chance to escape.

"Senior, thank you for saving me. Senior, please tell me your name. The Eastern Ocean Dou Family will definitely reward you handsomely." Dou Lu kowtowed to the old man.

"Heh, Eastern Ocean Dou Family? This name doesn't frighten my old man. Tell me everything, and I'll see if I can let you go. " When the old man in embroidered clothes said "Eastern Ocean Dou Family", he was filled with disdain. Right now, he really wanted to find out just what had happened. He wanted to force a girl to the point where she was bleeding and crying, and even chose to sacrifice her soul.
