He Yuzhu returns in Siheyuan

Chapter 706 Qing 1 Meets Old Friend

Although Liu Hu felt somewhat helpless, he also knew that, under the current circumstances, He Yuzhu was the ruler of this area, and everything had to be done according to his will, so he naturally didn't say much. He smiled broadly, looked at He Yuzhu, and said, "Your Excellency is absolutely right. Now, of course, your opinion will prevail."

He Yuzhu nodded slightly, his eyes fixed firmly on the distance as he said to Liu Hu, "Let's explore in another direction today. Perhaps we can find those human cultivators there. The area around here is vast, and their traces may be hidden in places we haven't explored yet."

Liu Hu quickly nodded in agreement, saying flatteringly, "Yes, my lord, you are blessed with great fortune and have always had excellent luck. This time, you will definitely gain something and find those human cultivators."

He Yuzhu simply ate some dry food, filled his stomach, and prepared to set off. As soon as he raised his foot, he happened to see Xiaoli coming towards him.

Xiaoli tilted her head, looked at He Yuzhu with her bright eyes, and asked curiously, "Yuzhu, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

He Yuzhu smiled gently and explained, "He's out looking for the human cultivators. What about you? What are you going to do?"

When Xiaoli heard this, his eyes lit up immediately and he said excitedly, "I'm so bored here. There's nothing new to do every day. How about we go together? I want to join in the fun too."

He Yuzhu looked at Xiaoli, feeling a little confused. He didn't quite understand why Xiaoli suddenly asked to go together. But he didn't think much about it and said with a smile, "Okay, since you're so interested, let's go together. With more people, we might be able to provide more help."

Xiaoli nodded happily, like a child who had received candy. Liu Hu watched from the side with a faint smile. He knew that he was now like a bodyguard, responsible for protecting He Yuzhu's safety. As for other people joining, as long as it did not affect the mission, he would not interfere.

Just as He Yuzhu and the group of demons left, Elder Qingyi, who had been hiding in the shadows, slowly opened his eyes. He moved his fingers slightly, and a surge of magical power flowed through his body, slowly recovering all his magical power.

However, Elder Qingyi did not reveal his true strength, but cleverly concealed all his magical powers. On the surface, he was still the sealed, powerless old man. He knew that in this dangerous place, rashly revealing his strength might bring unexpected trouble. Only by hiding himself well could he achieve a surprise victory at the critical moment.

In that dark, damp corner, Qingyi silently channeled the remaining mana within him, repairing his damaged meridians bit by bit. Time slipped slowly in silence, and after an unknown amount of time, he finally felt his mana begin to recover slightly. Then, dragging his exhausted yet determined body, he slowly moved aside. Although he had carefully concealed himself to avoid unnecessary trouble, he had made several like-minded friends in this difficult situation.

Qingyi had actually deliberately let He Yuzhu lock him up with them. He had a plan in mind, intending to teach them how to remove the seal when the time was right, and lead everyone to escape from this terrible place.

He walked up to his friends and asked softly, "How are you doing here?" Although the voice was not loud, it was particularly clear in the depressing atmosphere.

They had actually recognized Qingyi long ago, but they were helpless because of the powerful restrictions imposed on this place, and everyone had lost their magic power. In addition, Qingyi was covered in wounds and his breath was weak, so they could only bury their worries and doubts deep in their hearts, not daring to express them easily.

At this moment, Qingyi took the initiative to speak, and several of them immediately surrounded him. One of the more straightforward people couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you run away? How did you get caught?" His words were full of surprise and a hint of resentment.

Qingyi looked at them, a glint of determination in his eyes. He lowered his voice and said, "It's okay. I'm here to save you." He closed his eyes slightly, channeling his magical power. A faint light emanated from him. He slowly opened his eyes, looked at the crowd, and said, "See? I still have some magical power, and I'm here to save you. I'll slowly help you remove the seals on your bodies, and then we'll get out together."

These people were well aware of Qingyi's abilities and had always believed in him. At this moment, hearing Qingyi's words, hope suddenly ignited in their hearts. They knew that in this desperate situation, Qingyi was their only support.

So, Qingyi began to carefully and secretly remove the seal with them. Every move had to be done with extreme caution, because if discovered, they would all face even more dire consequences. After all, nothing was more important than restoring everyone's magic power and escaping this place.

The few of them tacitly surrounded Qingyi, forming a small, secret circle. They all knew that the demons had imprisoned them here in an attempt to refine them into elixirs. Rather than waiting to die, they might as well seize this opportunity to recover their magic power and fight. Perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope.

Qingyi sensed their strong desire to survive and said to them, "Don't be so discouraged. We have the leader of the Fierce Tiger Sect secretly supporting us outside. As long as we succeed, the leader of the Fierce Tiger Sect will lead his men to launch an attack with us. I don't believe these monsters will be able to resist."

After hearing Qingyi's words, they nodded in agreement with a glint of hope in their eyes. "Alright, as long as we can restore most of the people's mana, we can then attack together with the Tiger Sect. Even if we die, it's much better than being turned into pills."

Elder Qingyi was relieved to see everyone's morale soar. He looked at them and said solemnly, "I have only one request."

When everyone heard this, they all turned their eyes to Qingyi and said in unison: "Go ahead."

Qingyi hesitated for a moment, but still expressed He Yuzhu's idea: "This is what our sect leader means. As you all know, Li Di of the Tiger Sect said some unfriendly words to our sect leader before, so the sect leader hopes not to lift the seal on him. I wonder if you agree with this?" After that, Qingyi looked at everyone quietly, waiting for their response.
