Chapter 212: Two Sides Meet Up
“There seem to be sounds of fighting ahead.”
Just as Lin Bai and the others approached, there was some movement in front of them. Everyone could not help but raise their vigilance.
“Everyone, be careful.”
Lin Bai warned everyone and then walked forward. They saw He Qingyuan and the others in front of them, fighting with a few monsters.
“It’s president He and the others!”
His companions wanted to take a step forward, but they were stopped by Lin Bai. “Have you forgotten what happened to the Vice City Lord?”
They paused and thought of the monster that could imitate people. If He Qingyuan and the others were the same, they would be in trouble again. Therefore, they didn’t attack immediately. They just hid and quietly watched the battle.
He Qingyuan and the others seemed to have been seriously injured. Not only were their faces pale, but even their movements were weak. They were gradually at a disadvantage.
“This can’t go on. What if president He and the others are really being chased by these monsters? We should make a move first. It’s not too late to save them and verify their identities.”
Seeing that the black gas was about to hit He Qingyuan’s back, the monsters in front of He Qingyuan were so aggressive that he didn’t have time to be distracted. If Lin Bai didn’t make a move now, He Qingyuan’s life would be in danger. If the monsters were putting on an act, it wouldn’t be to this extent.
A sharp sword Qi appeared and instantly destroyed the black gas. He Qingyuan suddenly looked over. “Who is it?”
When he saw Lin Bai and the others walking out from the corner, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief. “So it’s you guys.”
With the addition of Lin Bai and the others, the pressure on He Qingyuan and the others was greatly reduced. Moreover, with the sharp sword qi in Lin Bai’s hand, wherever the black qi went, it would scatter in all directions. It did not take long for them to be completely destroyed.
He Qingyuan sized them up and asked hesitantly, “Why are you guys here? Where are elder Yan and the others?”
Lin Bai didn’t say anything. He only looked at them with a kind of scrutinizing gaze, and there was also a hint of vigilance. At the same time, the other people’s expressions were the same, which made He Qingyuan and the others even more puzzled.
“What kind of look is that?”
The disciples of the Alchemist Association formed a seal with their hands and chanted. He Qingyuan’s body was surrounded by a faint green light, and the jade pendant hanging on his body also flickered with a luster. The auspicious cloud pattern on it seemed to have come alive.
“The jade pendant of our Alchemist association has been dripping with blood. Only the owner can use it. No one else can wear it. This is also an important status symbol. It needs to be used in many places in the association. We have our own way of identifying it. It’s impossible that it’s fake.”
He Qingyuan couldn’t care less about the disciples’ offense. “Why am I getting more and more confused listening to this? What’s going on with you guys?”
“President, you have no idea. There was actually a monster disguised as the Vice City Lord. Not only did it sneak up on Elder Yan, but it almost caused our pill refinement to fail. Fortunately, fellow daoist Lin helped to turn the tide.”
He Qingyuan knew that Lin Bai was the person he had expelled from the Alchemist Association back then. However, there was a reason for what happened later. In addition, Yan Hua had explained the situation from the beginning. Considering that the situation in the City Lord’s Estate was indeed getting more and more serious, and they urgently needed manpower, that was why Lin Bai was left behind.
He did not expect that he would actually be the one who turned the situation around in the end. A dark light flashed across his eyes, then, he said with incomparable relief, “Good! If the matter in the City Lord’s Estate can be settled, you will be credited with great merit. At that time, we will make it up to you properly.”
“Oh right, president He, what exactly is the situation on your side? Why is there a monster disguised as the Vice City Lord? Have you succeeded in purifying the City Lord?”
He Qingyuan sighed. “It’s a long story.” He seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly became anxious. “Let’s go find the Vice City Lord quickly. He’s heavily injured now.”
The group did not stay any longer. Under his leadership, they walked forward, and during this time, they also talked about what they had encountered.
“The City Lord’s situation is far more serious than we imagined. When we were halfway through purifying, those monsters also ran out of the seal to cause trouble, destroying our purifying array. As a result, the Vice City Lord was heavily injured. Our situation is better, so we came out to look for you guys for help. Fortunately, you guys refined the pills…”
It turned out that they had also been attacked by the monsters. Now that Ren Zeyuan was seriously injured and could not move and was recuperating on the spot, He Qingyuan led a few people in an attempt to find Yan Hua to join them.
It was likely that the monster had grasped this opportunity, so it disguised itself as Ren Zeyuan and took the lead to find Yan Hua. It wanted to destroy their pill refinement so that the pill refinement could not be completed and the purification would also fail.
In fact, these monsters had indeed succeeded. They had ambushed Yan Hua and destroyed the pill refinement, but the premise was that Lin Bai did not exist.
He Qingyuan let out a long sigh and said, “I didn’t expect it to be so dangerous. Those monsters are indeed cunning. We almost fell into their trap.”
Both sides sighed after listening to the story, especially He Qingyuan. He understood in his heart. “No wonder you guys had such an attitude just now.”
“President, please forgive us for offending you. We are also worried that those monsters will once again pretend to be you to cheat us of our trust.”
He Qingyuan waved his hand to show his understanding. “It’s only right for you guys to be cautious during special times.” His gaze fell on Lin Bai, “It’s just that I didn’t expect that you actually have such a great ability to refine a grade nine pill. The younger generation is indeed formidable.”
“Let me take a look at the pill. After all, such a big incident happened midway. I’m afraid that the pill might also be affected.”
Lin Bai glanced at him. He Qingyuan’s face was filled with worry, and there wasn’t anything wrong with it, “President He, don’t worry. Elder Yan has checked and there aren’t any problems. We’d better hurry and find the Vice City Lord first. Lest we delay the urgent matter.”
The others felt that there were no problems. After all, Yan Hua had said it himself. They all agreed, “That’s right. Let’s hurry and find the Vice City Lord.”
He Qingyuan retracted his hand and looked at Lin Bai without batting an eyelid. Then, he said, “That’s true. Time waits for no one. Let’s hurry and leave..”
