Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

Just as Yang Ling was about to talk further with Rong'er, Axe and his men had already finished refining the elixir. They all looked energetic and their cultivation had improved significantly.

Looking at this scene, Yang Ling nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, let's continue on our journey! I hope we can hunt more monsters today."

After hearing this, Axe chuckled, patted the shoulder of the adjutant beside him, and said with great enthusiasm: "Let's go! Let's go test our current strength together!" After that, he led the soldiers and strode forward.

After hearing his order, the soldiers under Axe also moved excitedly. Like an arrow shot from a bow, they quickly rushed towards the gathering place of the monsters.

In the following time, Ax led the soldiers to start clearing out the nearby monster nests.

Although these monsters are not very powerful, their numbers are extremely large.

However, while Axe and the others were busy dealing with the monsters, three figures appeared behind a huge mountain in the distance. The man in the middle was wearing purple clothes, had an extraordinary handsome face, and exuded a faint kingly aura.

Behind him stood two men in black brocade clothes. They were surrounded by various monsters of different shapes, but they all docilely submitted to the three men.

The man in brocade clothes on the left behind the purple-robed young man asked, "Your Highness, are we really going to let those outsiders hunt our captive monsters at will?" The man in brocade clothes on the right also showed a look of doubt on his face.

Hearing his subordinates' question, the purple-robed man said coldly: "Humph, the more arrogant they are now, the more they will regret it later."

After saying that, he turned around, looked at his men behind him, and said in a deep voice: "However, since they can enter here, it means that something has happened in the outside world. The barrier that isolates us has begun to have problems."

"Your Highness, what you mean is that outsiders can enter this space because the barrier has been destroyed?" The two men in brocade clothes said with sudden enlightenment after hearing this.

"Yes, that should be the reason." The purple-robed man raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile.

"Your Highness is wise!" the two subordinates complimented.

After a while, the purple-robed man continued, "However, the situation is still unclear. We'd better go investigate again to make sure everything is safe." After he finished speaking, the faces of the two people beside him became solemn. Obviously, they were also worried about the current situation.

After a moment's silence, the two men in black brocade clothes looked at each other and said in unison: "Don't worry, Your Highness, we will go and investigate in person. If there is any news, we will report it to you as soon as possible!"

After hearing this, the purple-robed man nodded and said, "Okay, I'm at ease with you guys doing the work. No matter what, we must not miss this opportunity. The space is becoming more and more unstable. If we don't seize the opportunity, we will only have a dead end."

Hearing the purple-robed man's words, the faces of the two people behind him changed. They all knew how serious the matter the man was talking about was.

In the past, their clan paid a huge price to escape the punishment from Heaven. However, after the punishment from Heaven, the world they were in was sealed off. If His Highness was not mistaken, this was indeed their only chance.

Therefore, they bowed their hands respectfully and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, we will definitely do our best to investigate!"

"Your Highness, don't worry, we will definitely be able to seize this opportunity!"

After hearing this, the man in purple clothes sighed softly and said, "No matter what, we will capture those outsiders first, but remember not to hurt their lives." After saying that, he waved his hand and asked the two men to retreat.

He knew that this matter should not be made public, otherwise it might cause unnecessary trouble.

However, Yang Ling and the others did not know that the mysterious purple-clothed man was eyeing them. They were still immersed in the frenzy of hunting monsters, especially Ax, who would show excitement every time he saw a monster being defeated.

However, Yang Ling and others had no idea that they had become the targets of other people's surveillance.

After clearing out almost all the monsters around, Yang Ling and his team decided to continue to expand. They were like a group of crazy hunters, constantly chasing after the monsters that were approaching.

For a moment, all the monsters in the forest were in great pain and fled in all directions.

As Yang Ling and his men continued their hunting operation, Axe, as the commander, was naturally very busy. He kept directing his men to harvest the lives of the monsters, as if he had seen countless Shen Yuan Dan falling from the sky.

However, just as he was enthusiastically killing the monster, Yang Ling suddenly stopped him.

"Axl, take a rest first." After Yang Ling said that, he took the tired Rong'er to find an open space to sit down and rest.

Upon seeing this, Axe looked at his men around him and found that they all looked tired.

So, he waved his hand and ordered directly: "Everyone stop, get ready and rest where you are."

After saying that, he just found a place, sat down leisurely, and began to enjoy the wine.

Just as he was lost in thought, pondering his next plan of action, one of his men approached quietly and interrupted his thoughts.

Then, a burst of hurried footsteps came from afar, breaking the silence around.

Yang Ling's figure came into view. He walked over hurriedly with Rong'er.

Just as Yang Ling was about to discuss the follow-up action plan with Axe, a deafening roar suddenly erupted from the depths of the ancient forest, as if to tear the entire void apart.

The originally peaceful and tranquil forest was now shrouded in billowing smoke and dust. Powerful and overbearing pressures raged through the space like a violent storm.

This kind of pressure can only be possessed by a demon beast at the demon king level.

Yang Ling and the others felt this pressure, their faces turned pale instantly, and they were terrified.

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, a fire python several feet long suddenly appeared in everyone's sight. Its appearance caught everyone off guard. They did not expect to encounter such a powerful existence here.

The fire python did not attack immediately, but instead howled towards the sky. The sound was full of misery and pain, which made people feel pity.

Axe and his men opened their eyes in this sudden change, with vigilance and anxiety flashing in their eyes. Axe made a prompt decision and shouted, "Quick, let's go check the situation!"

Before he finished speaking, his figure had already flashed out like lightning. Yang Ling followed closely behind him, holding a long sword, and took Rong'er with him.

When they arrived at the place where the smoke and dust had dissipated, everything had returned to calm and the huge fire python had disappeared.

Only burnt traces were left on the ground, proving its existence.

Yang Ling stared at the place where the fire python disappeared, thinking deeply. He keenly noticed that the fire python's situation seemed unusual.

Yang Ling secretly speculated in his heart that if his guess was correct, the Fire Python Demon King was most likely suppressed by some force, or was seriously injured for some reason, which was why he fled in such a hurry.

Thinking of this, Yang Ling couldn't help but smile, with excitement flashing in his eyes.

"Haha, this fire python must not have escaped far. If we look for it carefully, we may find some overlooked clues." After saying that, he took Rong'er and walked in one direction.

After hearing this, Axe thought for a moment and followed with his soldiers. However, not long after they left, the fire python that had disappeared slowly reappeared in the same place. It roared, and its body gradually shrank, eventually turning into a human form, sitting cross-legged on the ground, breathing heavily.

Blood was gushing from his mouth and nose, and he looked horrible.

But this is not the end yet. As he transformed into a human form, a powerful wave of spiritual energy surged from all around, instantly waking up all the monsters around him.

At this moment, a sharp and piercing bird cry came from the depths of the ancient forest, and then a huge figure broke through the air.

Although the distance was far, Yang Ling and others who had just left could still feel the heart-pounding changes.

Axel's expression suddenly changed, his eyes filled with horror. He muttered to himself, "What kind of monster is this time?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a gleam of brilliance flashed in Yang Ling's eyes, as if he recognized the figure.

“Quick! Let’s get out of here! That’s the Golden Crowned Eagle King, a mid-level demon king, extremely powerful!” Upon hearing Yang Ling’s words, Ax’s face turned pale in an instant.

Compared with the Fire Python, the Golden Crown Eagle King was indeed much more powerful. Its feathers were as black as ink, and when its wings flapped, strong winds whistled, making an astonishing sound.

The appearance of the Golden Crowned Eagle King caused the monsters in the field to roar and flee in all directions.

Axe looked at the Golden-Crowned Eagle King in the distance, his heart filled with fear, not daring to act rashly.

After hesitating for a moment, he shouted anxiously to his men beside him: "Let's retreat! This forest is too dangerous, we can't set foot in it now!"

After saying that, he flashed and rushed in the opposite direction of the Golden Crown Eagle King. Obviously, he was deeply afraid of the Golden Crown Eagle King.

The men looked at Axe's back, looking at each other in shock. They didn't expect that not only would there be monsters in the forest today, but that the two monsters that appeared were so powerful and caused such a big commotion.

"My Lord, what should we do next?" one of his men asked cautiously. In this dangerous environment, even Axe was filled with fear.

Axel's voice was full of fear: "This is the territory of high-level monsters, we should retreat." Hearing this, Yang Ling nodded.

He knew very well that facing such a situation, he was not sure that he could escape unscathed. Their mission was to find a way to leave, and hunting the monsters was just a side job.

As they talked, Axe's men began to retreat.

However, at this moment, a huge sound of breaking through the air suddenly came, clear and strange.

At the same time, a huge eagle claw suddenly grabbed the shoulder of a soldier and captured him instantly.

The soldier was unable to dodge and was swallowed directly into the mouth of the Golden Crown Eagle King.

Then, the Golden Crown Eagle King flew over again at lightning speed.

Seeing this scene, Axe and others' pupils suddenly shrank and their hearts were filled with fear.

At this moment, the Golden Crowned Eagle King let out another loud cry, with a ferocious look flashing in his eyes.

Then, a ball of scorching red flames gathered around its mouth. Just as it was about to spit out the flames, Yang Ling drew out the sword at his waist without hesitation and rushed straight to it. His movements were extremely swift, and he was close to the flames in the blink of an eye.

"Bang!" A crisp collision sound was heard, and the scorching flame was actually shattered by Yang Ling's sword.

The scorching temperature made Yang Ling's clothes crackle.

At the same time, Axe also reacted and shouted to the people behind him: "Come on!"

As his order sounded, a dozen soldiers rushed forward bravely, waving their weapons fiercely.

In an instant, they started a fierce battle with the Golden Crown Eagle King.

Axe also drew out his weapon and faced the Golden Crown Eagle King with the mentality of fighting to the death.

This battle is a matter of life and death and cannot be taken lightly.

The entire mountain was instantly covered by dazzling light.

The Golden Crowned Eagle King roared continuously, and each roar made people's hearts tremble.

Yang Ling tightly grasped the sword and tangled with the Golden Crown Eagle King.

This Golden Crown Eagle King is indeed a mid-level demon king, and each of his attacks is extremely powerful. Yang Ling did not dare to be careless, after all, his opponent was very powerful.

While Yang Ling was fighting with the Golden Crown Eagle King, Axe was not idle either. He led his soldiers to disrupt the Golden Crown Eagle King's attack rhythm and create opportunities for Yang Ling.

With their assistance, Yang Ling was barely able to deal with the Golden Crown Eagle King.

However, at this moment, the Golden Crowned Eagle King suddenly flew up in anger and circled in the air.

Then, a burst of blazing flames rushed towards Yang Ling and the others.

Upon seeing this, Yang Ling immediately concentrated his Qi into his Dantian and quickly circulated the Qi in his body.

Then, he swung his sword, and the sharp sword energy directly hit the flames of the Golden Crown Eagle King.

After chopping the fireball into pieces, the Golden Crown Eagle King immediately let out a deafening roar.

"Roar!" As the roar fell, the Golden Crown Eagle King rushed towards everyone like a madman. The blazing fire illuminated the sky, causing the temperature in the entire forest to rise sharply.

"Boom!" A loud roar was heard, and Yang Ling and his companions had no time to resist and were knocked to the ground.

They were bleeding from their mouths and noses, and were obviously seriously injured. However, the Golden Crown Eagle King was also in poor condition. The previous attack by Yang Ling and others almost caused it to suffer serious injuries.

The Golden Crowned Eagle King leaped up, ready to flee the scene and return to its nest to recuperate from its injuries.

Seeing this scene, Yang Ling and Axe's eyes flashed with strong murderous intent. Especially Axe, seeing that one third of his subordinates were slaughtered by the Golden Crown Eagle King, his heart was filled with grief and anger. (End of this chapter)
