The Tense Situation
"What happened to those two?"
Mu Rundong frowned. Caution flashed through his heart as he asked.
"Someone saved them, I think!"
Yu Mo's brows furrowed.
"Who saved them?"
Mu Rundong's eyes flashed with astonishment.
"The person called himself Qin Yichen …" The guard hastily replied.
"Qin Yichen?"
Hearing this name, Dong Yu abruptly stood up from his seat and quickly walked outside.
"Qin Yichen? Is that the person Master Dong Yu has been waiting for? "
"That should be him!"
"Gasp, there's always an advanced emperor realm cultivator who attacks the caravans. I didn't think he'd be this strong!"
Seeing Dong Yu's actions, the hall was immediately filled with whispers.
"Qin Yichen?"
Yu Mo muttered to himself. He seemed to have heard of this name from some intelligence report, but he couldn't quite place it.
"Hmph, I'd like to see who's capable of this!"
Yu Mo snorted inwardly. He stood where he was and stared at the entrance to the outer courtyard.
A moment later, under Dong Yu's lead, four figures slowly walked in from outside. Yu Mo's face darkened when he saw the two merchants who were still in shock.
He'd just warned Mu Rundong that if they didn't join the Sacred Land's caravan, they'd all die. How long had it been since then? Two lucky escapees had come to slap him in the face!
Yu Mo's gaze landed on Qin Yichen.
"Initial emperor realm?"
A moment later, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
How could a young man at the initial level of the emperor realm possibly rescue someone from the hands of the men he'd sent out?
That was impossible!
He knew full well how strong his men were. Even a peak emperor realm cultivator wouldn't be able to rescue someone from their clutches, let alone an initial emperor realm cultivator.
"Master Deacon."
Qin Yichen dragged Feng Qianxue over to Dong Yu.
"You brat …"
Dong Yu wanted to reprimand him, but seeing Yu Mo standing nearby, he swallowed the words he was about to say, "Come with me!"
With that, he walked towards a side room.
Qin Yichen's eyes flashed with a hint of suspicion. He only glanced at Yu Mo, whose expression was not right, before he pulled Feng Qianxue and followed.
"Eh, could it be that this brat is an alchemist?"
When Yu Mo saw him leave with Dong Yu, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
"Hmph!"
However, he couldn't stay here any longer. He was eager to know what had happened and why someone had slipped through the net!
…
As soon as he entered the room, Dong Yu quickly closed the door.
"You brat, you're too reckless. Do you know what you're doing?"
He scolded as soon as he opened his mouth, nervousness and impatience written all over his face.
"I …"
Seeing how nervous he was, Qin Yichen seemed to understand something.
It was obvious that the people who had attacked the Taihao Sacred Ground's caravan were from one of the other two Sacred Grounds.
As for the Taihao Sacred Ground, although they were aware of this, they could only choose to endure …
This was the sorrow of the weak!
"Brother Yichen …"
Feng Qianxue was also frightened by the oppressive atmosphere in the room.
"Don't worry, it's fine."
Qin Yichen held her small hand and comforted her.
They were in trouble!
However, he didn't regret saving those two people.
He couldn't bear to see the people from his Sacred Ground being trampled on by others!
Dong Yu paced back and forth in the room. After a while, he stopped and said to Qin Yichen, "No, you can't stay here any longer. You have to come back with me to the Sacred Ground immediately!"
"But …"
Qin Yichen frowned slightly.
He felt that the Sacred Ground was in unprecedented trouble.
"No buts!"
Dong Yu's expression was solemn.
He had brought Qin Yichen out, so he had to bring Qin Yichen back in one piece!
Compared to the Sacred Ground's losses, he felt that protecting Qin Yichen's safety was more important.
Qin Yichen was an Empyrean warrior!
The battle prowess of a Great Accomplishment Heaven martial artist was obvious to all.
"Eh …"
At this moment, Dong Yu noticed Feng Qianxue who was looking at him timidly. "This is the person you want to bring to the Sacred Ground?"
He could feel that there was a terrifying energy fluctuation in Feng Qianxue's body. However, he couldn't tell what it was.
"Yes."
Qin Yichen nodded.
He gave up the reward that the Sacred Ground could give him just to bring Feng Qianxue with him.
"Oh."
Dong Yu didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he took out a piece of Divine Jade and handed it to Qin Yichen. "This is her Divine Jade. When we enter the Sacred Ground, bring her to register her name."
"Thank you for the trouble."
Qin Yichen took the Divine Jade and handed it to Feng Qianxue to teach her how to use it.
Without this item, they couldn't even enter the Sacred Ground.
After that, Dong Yu couldn't stand still. He went to find Mu Rundong and explained the situation. He also asked Mu Rundong to send more people to accompany him in escorting Qin Yichen back.
"Alright, I'll go instruct Mo Yuan and Mo Wen to escort you. You should be satisfied now, right?"
Mu Rundong didn't understand why Dong Yu was so worried about Qin Yichen. However, he would grant Dong Yu's request as a deacon of Beihao Hall.
Now that he was outside, there were many places where he could use medicinal pills.
This was especially true for pills from the Holy Lands. They were very popular in the outside world, and their prices were very high.
However, pills from the Sacred Ground were usually for the people of the Sacred Ground. It was unlikely that they would be sold.
"Mo Yuan, Mo Wen?"
Dong Yu rubbed his forehead.
He was well aware of their strength. They were both peak emperor realm cultivators. With them around, unless an Exalted cultivator attacked, there was no harm in being prepared.
However, he was still a little uneasy.
"No, I think I need you to come with me personally."
He spoke to Mu Rundong with a serious expression.
"Uh …"
Mu Rundong couldn't help but frown.
Dong Yu was asking for too much. He was a deacon of the Sacred City. With so many things happening, he had to stay in the city. Otherwise, the consequences would be even worse!
However, he was curious to see Dong Yu's serious expression. "Brother Dong, he's just a rising star. You don't need me to escort him personally, do you?"
Although he'd heard a little about Qin Yichen, it wasn't to the extent that he needed to escort him personally.
"Brother Mo, there are some things that I can't tell you right now. However, do you know why he's here?"
Dong Yu lowered his voice after confirming that no one was around.
"Why?"
"Because not only did the Temple Lord summon him personally, but he also gave him a spot to enter the Sacred Ground!"
