"He left the capital and stabbed Shi Jingtang's body with a sword."

The major families in the capital were still paying attention to Xu Ying's movements, and news kept coming.

The shocking scenes just now made the major families have to reevaluate Xu Ying.

Previously, they only saw this snake catcher from the countryside as a smart young man, a tool that could help them ascend. By bringing Xu Ying to the capital, they could treat him as their servant and help them decipher the immortal books they had collected.

Later, news spread that Xu Ying was an immortal. In their eyes, Xu Ying, who was previously a useful servant, became an edible elixir of immortality.

Even if used properly, for example, cutting off Xu Ying's flesh while having the healers from the Zhou family treat him, they could continuously produce elixirs of immortality!

It could be said that everyone could benefit from it!

But now, Xu Ying was different in their eyes.

This tool that helped them ascend, this person-shaped elixir of immortality that helped them live longer, was now covered in sharp fangs!

Although the Shi family was a newly established family, they were still a major family with a powerful immortal, so it was unexpected that overnight, Shi Mo Le was severely injured and then killed by Xu Ying in his own mansion, publicly "burned to death"!

Although Shi Mo Le was devoured by evil, in the eyes of the people in the capital, he was burned to death by Xu Ying.

If these major families had any more crooked ideas, they had to consider whether it was worth it.

Xu Ying's methods were terrifying.

He revealed his true form as a twenty-zhang-long serpent and left the capital. Xu Ying and Zhu Chanchan sat on the serpent's head, while Zhu Chanchan worked hard to refine the elixir within her body.

She had hidden outside the Dou Su Palace for over six thousand years, turning herself into a medicine person by stealing elixirs. Especially when refining the elixirs, a fragrant aroma filled the air, making people's mouths water.

Not to mention the heavenly demons, even Xu Ying wanted to take a bite of this girl to satisfy his cravings.

"Ah Ying, this girl can really attract heavenly demons."

Da Zhong also felt Zhu Chanchan's allure and whispered, "Even I think that if I can refine her into my body like a medicine, my power will greatly increase!"

Xu Ying activated the Heart Returning Technique passed down by Zhu Du and suppressed the desire to bite the girl, saying, "On this journey, the heavenly demons have not yet found us, but we are about to be turned into heavenly demons by her. I wonder where Little Phoenix Fairy has gone?"

The reason he was in such a hurry to leave the capital was because Zhu Chanchan's allure was too strong. This girl was a person-shaped elixir of immortality and would definitely attract heavenly demons. Xu Ying, as a "guardian," definitely couldn't deal with heavenly demons, but Phoenix Fairy could. Phoenix Fairy was a phoenix, the nemesis of heavenly demons. So Xu Ying had the idea of taking Zhu Chanchan to find her.

"Brother Xu!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came. Xu Ying looked in the direction of the voice and saw Yuan Weiyang and Xiao Bo had left the capital and come to see him off.

Xu Ying signaled for Wan Qi to stop, and Yuan Weiyang and Xiao Bo boarded the serpent's back and came to the top of Wan Qi's head. Wan Qi continued to swim forward, but at a much slower speed.

Yuan Weiyang sniffed the air and exclaimed, "It smells so good!" Then she looked at Zhu Chanchan in surprise.

Xu Ying was moved and said, "Brother Yuan, I have enemies everywhere, yet you dare to come and see me off, leaving me at a loss for what to do."

Yuan Weiyang said seriously, "You came to the capital to see me, but encountered so many ambushes. It's my Yuan family's inability to protect our guests. Now that you're leaving, how can I not see you off?"

Xu Ying was worried about another person and asked, "How is Sister Ruoshi?"

A smile appeared on Yuan Weiyang's face, and Xiao Bo coughed behind her. Yuan Weiyang's smile disappeared, and she said expressionlessly, "My sister is mischievous. Our mother has ordered her to stay at home and do needlework, not allowing her to go out. Brother Xu, I came to see you off, but you ask about my sister. It's a bit impolite."

Xiao Bo nodded slightly, thinking, "This response is quite appropriate."

Xu Ying felt guilty and said, "I always think of Sister Ruoshi from time to time recently."

Yuan Weiyang's face turned serious and said, "My sister is still in the waiting room and has not yet been married. You must not have any improper thoughts."

As soon as she said this, Xu Ying did have improper thoughts. But his relationship with Yuan Ruoshi was just a normal friendship, while his relationship with Yuan Weiyang was a close one. The two sat on Wan Qi's head and discussed the path of cultivation, exchanging their experiences.

Xu Ying explained his modified "Crimson Palace Moon Furnace Cauldron Technique," which was a secret technique of the Guo family. He only took the operating method of the Crescent Moon Cave Heaven and did not reveal the essence of the technique.

"I suspect that there are some evil existences in the world, like the master of the Mud Pill Palace, hiding in the dark. They often spread their techniques and leave behind loopholes."

Xu Ying said, "Brother Yuan, your talent is extraordinary, and you are intelligent and meticulous, which I cannot compare to. If you refer to this technique, you might be able to comprehend the method of refining elixirs in the Yuan family and help your ancestor extend his life, so that he won't have an unfortunate old age."

After hearing this, Xiao Bo couldn't help but be moved. This gift was truly precious.

Yuan Weiyang's eyes showed a strange emotion, and after regaining her composure, she put away the incomplete technique and said, "Xu Yao Wang's kindness to my Yuan family is unforgettable. Although my Yuan family has declined, we still know how to repay kindness. I know that Brother Xu has not opened the Yellow Court Secret Treasury, so you cannot make further progress in divine consciousness."

She took out a golden book from her bosom, tore off the first two pages, and handed them to Xu Ying. Xiao Bo's face changed, and he said, "Young Master..."

Yuan Weiyang ignored him and smiled, "My mother will definitely not agree to me teaching you the Yuan family's ancestral technique of sensing the heavens, but as the future head of the Yuan family, I will take the liberty to give you the first half of this technique." Xiao Bo hesitated for a moment but did not stop her.Xu Ying gave a valuable gift, which was like a lifesaver for the Yuan family. Even if Yuan Weiyang gave him the complete book of Yuan Dao's Sensing of the Heavenly Realms, it would not compare to this valuable gift.

Xu Ying accepted the remaining part of "Yuan Dao's Sensing of the Heavenly Realms" and said with a smile, "How about this, let's compare and see who can comprehend the method of refining the elixir from the Huangting Secret Treasure first."

Yuan Weiyang's eyes lit up, and she became competitive.

She smiled and said, "Alright! But, Xu Yaowang, are you interested in making a bet?"

Xu Ying, being young, asked, "What are we betting on?"

Yuan Weiyang's eyes flickered as she said, "I have a younger sister whom you have met. If you can comprehend the method of refining the elixir from the Huangting Secret Treasure before me, I will make the decision to marry her to you."

Behind him, Xiao Bo was anxious and kept stomping his feet, saying, "Ah! Ah! Young Master, how can this be?"

Playing Seven was dizzy and said quickly, "Old Bo, be careful with your stomping! You're stomping my brain out."

Xiao Bo was anxious and had cold sweat on his forehead. He was extremely worried in his heart, "How can one marry themselves off if they lose a bet? Moreover, this is not a suitable match. Madam and the Old Lady will definitely not agree!"

Xu Ying's heart was filled with eagerness and he laughed, "Alright! It's a deal! But if I lose, I don't have a younger sister to marry you. How about..."

He looked at Zhu Chanchan, who was diligently practicing, and his heart moved, "How about giving this girl to Brother Yuan..."

Yuan Weiyang smiled and said, "If you lose, I don't want your sister. I just want you to do one thing for me. I haven't thought of what it is yet, but I will tell you in the future when I figure it out."

Yuan Weiyang shook her head and said, "That's not necessarily true. I will do my best."

"I will too!"

Yuan Weiyang jumped down from Playing Seven's head, waved goodbye to him, and turned back to the capital city. Xiao Bo followed behind him.

On the way, Yuan Weiyang sighed and said, "Xiao Bo, don't tell Mother and the Old Lady about this matter."

Xiao Bo sighed, "Young Master, secrets cannot be kept forever."

What he wanted to say was that this matter couldn't be hidden from the Old Lady for long.

But Yuan Weiyang was thinking about something else and said, "You're right. I will choose the right opportunity to tell them that the name Yuan Ruoshi means that I was originally a girl!"

Xiao Bo was dumbfounded.

Playing Seven carried Xu Ying and Zhu Chanchan as they traveled through the mountains towards Mount Song.

The earth kept shaking, and new mountains and rivers emerged from the large cracks, making Mount Qi appear extremely distant.

Suddenly, a terrifying roar came from the forest ahead, shaking the mountains and fields. Xu Ying looked up and saw a huge creature crouching under a waterfall, surrounded by numerous giant beasts, not much smaller than Playing Seven.

They seemed to be the subjects of the huge creature, kneeling around it and worshiping it like mortals worshiping gods.

The huge creature was an unknown creature with long front limbs and short hind limbs. Its body was surrounded by black flames, but it did not ignite the forest. The flames floated around its body like patterns.

The aura from the pool was extremely terrifying. It was the aura that awakened after ancient bloodlines. Playing Seven also had a similar fierce aura, but it was not as strong as the creature's. Being a Qi Refiner, it was able to conceal this aspect very well.

"This is a young primordial beast."

Da Zhong couldn't help but exclaim. It appeared in Xu Ying's mind and said, "This kind of creature is born to be a king and is also a divine spirit of the primordial era. The pools where the beasts worship are what give them unimaginable divine power."

It marveled and said, "In my master's era, there were not so many beast king gods. Strange, where did these guys come from?"

The beast king let out a roar, and the other giant beasts rushed towards them. Their target was Zhu Chanchan, who emitted a fragrant scent!

Playing Seven activated its true form as a giant snake, instantly growing hundreds of feet long. It bit one of the giant beasts and swung its body, flipping the attacking beasts over!

As a demonic Qi Refiner, Playing Seven had much more intelligence than these giant beasts.

The beast king became furious and pounced towards them. Knowing that its aura was not as strong as the beast king's, Playing Seven quickly said, "Ah Ying!"

Xu Ying stood on Playing Seven's forehead, summoned a stone axe, and a terrifying aura erupted. Blood-colored mist filled the air as a axe light fell, and the head of the beast king landed on the ground. The huge body slid forward and stopped under Playing Seven.

The stone axe was a treasure refined by the ancient giant race, drinking the blood of countless giant beasts. Countless beast king gods had fallen under its axe. Now, after absorbing the blood of the beast king, its ferocity increased!

When the axe was activated, another beast king god appeared in the vision of the surging sea of blood, adding a bit more power!

With the death of this beast king, the other giant beasts fled in panic. When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter, and they disappeared without a trace.

Xu Ying put away the fierce weapon and saw a stone city not far away. He immediately said, "Seventh Lord, let's stay there tonight. Drag the beast king over and we'll have it for dinner."

Playing Seven agreed, and its tail curled up the body of the beast king, walking towards the stone city.

They continued on their journey and saw steep mountains and cliffs on both sides, with strange rocks appearing outside the cliffs, eerie and terrifying.

The stone city stood at the end of the gorge, with its walls standing tall and the streets orderly.

Xu Ying looked up at the city gate and saw two ancient characters written on it.

Di Qiu.

"Strange name." Xu Ying withdrew his gaze.

Playing Seven shrank its size and entered the city, walking on the streets. There was still white mist from the steamed buns in the baozi shop, and the tea in the teahouse was still hot!

They passed by a teahouse, and the tea in the cups was still hot!At the corner of the street, there was a straw pole with paper windmills on it. The windmills were still spinning, but the peddler and the children chasing after him were nowhere to be seen.

There was not a single person in the entire city!

Not even a single mouse could be found! The city was eerily silent!

It was as if all living things in the entire city had suddenly disappeared, and the time in the city was frozen at the moment when people disappeared. The food in the city would not rot, the fire in the stove would not go out, and the tea would not cool down.

Xu Ying jumped down from the head of the big snake and lifted the lid of the steamed bun shop. Inside were steaming hot buns, soft and fragrant with scallions and meat, making one's mouth water.

He put down the buns and frowned slightly. There was braised beef on the street, red and tender, with yellow tendons.

The wine in the neighboring wine shop was still warm, filled with the aroma of wine, mixed with the fragrance of beef, making one's mouth water.

Da Zhong asked in confusion, "What happened to this city? Where did the people go?"

Where did the people in the city go?

Wan Qi put down the corpse of the beast king and said, "Ah Ying, there's food here. Do we still need to cook?"

Xu Ying shook his head and said, "It's better not to touch the food here."

Suddenly, a loud rumbling sound came from the distance, and the other half of this stone city slowly emerged from the pervading mist. It was as if it had just been released from a time seal and appeared from the river of time.

However, the residents of the city were nowhere to be found.

Zhu Chan Chan also woke up and looked around curiously.

She had grown taller and looked like she was in her teens, a cute girl with an icy and snowy appearance, but her clothes were a bit short.

Zhu Chan Chan hurriedly opened Wan Qi's mouth and entered his body, changing into Guo Xiao Die's clothes inside, but they seemed a bit big and empty.

"This place is called Di Qiu," a voice suddenly came. Xu Ying looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old man in white clothes walking lightly into the stone city. He had seen this white-haired old man on Wu Wang Mountain, together with the old man with a worried expression.

Xu Ying's heart trembled, "The white-haired old man who fought against the Cui family's patriarch that I saw in the Second Divine Capital last night, it's him! What is he doing here?"

The white-haired old man chuckled, "Di Qiu disappeared during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Great Han Dynasty, and the entire stone city vanished without a trace, becoming a mystery. I didn't expect to encounter this mysterious city here! Xu Xiaoyou, it's better to meet by chance than to make an appointment. I didn't expect to meet you again here. We truly have fate."

He thought to himself, "This kid is like a rabbit that doesn't stay in its burrow, running around everywhere. If he escapes from my sight, wouldn't it be a disaster? I might as well join them, then he won't be able to escape."
