Unblocking the meridians was painful because all of Feng Yuqin's meridians were wrapped in toxins. To unblock them, the toxins had to be removed.
For Xiaoying, as long as it regained some of its strength, it could remove the toxins.
However, the mountain was shaking violently, which added a lot of difficulty to removing the toxins.
Feng Yuqin's body was tossed around due to the shaking of the mountain, and the progress of unblocking her meridians was forced to stop.
A trace of anxiety flashed in Xiaoying's eyes, and its spiritual consciousness rushed towards Feng Yuqin's meridians again.
There were toxins all over them. It had only removed a little bit just now, so it had to seize the time.
Feng Yuqin's whole body flew backward and hit heavily in front of a rock before coming to a stop. The pain made her see stars.
Leaning against the rock to steady herself, she said, "Xiaoying, this won't work. The mountain is shaking too violently. We have to find a place first."
"Master, the mountain is very big. It's impossible for us to get out safely in a short time. The only way is for you to contact the Gold - Devouring Beast in the shortest time and make it calm down," Xiaoying said with a frown.
Just as Feng Yuqin was about to say something, the ground where she was suddenly sank.
She instinctively reached out to grab something to fix her body, but before she could catch anything, she felt her body start to fall.
"Master!" Xiaoying's expression changed drastically. It let out a startled cry and immediately rushed towards Feng Yuqin.
Feng Yuqin only felt that her body was constantly falling as if she had lost her balance. Looking up, she saw Xiaoying's phantom quickly rushing down towards her.
She thought she was so unlucky as her body kept falling.
Bang... Feng Yuqin slammed heavily on the ground. Unable to support herself, she fainted.
"Master!" Xiaoying quickly flew towards Feng Yuqin.
At the same time, all kinds of things such as stones, soil, and tree trunks from above fell down.
Xiaoying's face was very grim. It quickly created an energy shield to protect Feng Yuqin in a safe space.
The things from above were still falling continuously, as if they were going to bury Feng Yuqin directly underground.
Gradually, the light disappeared, and it became pitch - black inside the energy shield.
Xiaoying flew to Feng Yuqin's side and found that her injuries were not light. A trace of anxiety flashed in its heart.
But the most important thing now was to unblock the master's meridians.
Xiaoying separated a wisp of power to protect the energy shield, and the remaining power began to concentrate on unblocking Feng Yuqin's meridians.
After a while, Feng Yuqin woke up.
To be precise, she was woken up by the pain.
The moment she opened her eyes, it was completely dark around.
"Master, don't move. I'm unblocking your meridians," Xiaoying said as it used a little light source to illuminate the inside of the energy shield when it noticed Feng Yuqin waking up.
Feng Yuqin stopped the movement of getting up and looked at Xiaoying, asking, "Where are we?"
While unblocking the meridians, Xiaoying replied, "Master, we fell into a mountain depression. Things have been falling from above. When you fainted, I used my power to create an energy shield. Now we are inside this energy shield."
Feng Yuqin felt extremely cold in her heart: "So we're buried alive now?"
Xiaoying nodded reluctantly, then comforted her, "Master, the only way now is to contact the Gold - Devouring Beast. After all, it's the Gold - Devouring Beast that caused the mountain to shake like this."
Hearing this, Feng Yuqin was also depressed: "I don't have any soul power now, so I can't contact it even if I want to."
"Master, we're just a little bit away from removing all the toxins on your meridians," Xiaoying said.
Feng Yuqin frowned and looked at Xiaoying. She found that its figure was more transparent than before: "If it weren't for me, you could escape, right?"
Xiaoying didn't know why Feng Yuqin asked this, but it still nodded honestly.
Although Feng Yuqin was not satisfied with some of Xiaoying's attitudes before, at this moment, seeing Xiaoying whole - heartedly unblocking her meridians and being buried alive with her under the mountain, all her previous misgivings disappeared without a trace.
At the same time.
Mo Xuanye also arrived outside the mountain where Feng Yuqin was. His deep and unfathomable eyes landed on the mountain peak. His eyes flashed slightly, and he released his spiritual sense to detect Feng Yuqin's aura.
When Dongfang Zhi rushed over, Mo Xuanye had just finished searching the ground but didn't find any trace of Feng Yuqin. A strange look flashed quickly in his eyes.
"Hey, isn't that the Life - Taking Mountain? Why is the peak gone?" Dongfang Zhi was very familiar with the situation in this forest. The mountain peak looked as if it had sunken in the middle.
Hearing this, a chill flashed in Mo Xuanye's eyes. His spiritual sense unceremoniously probed towards the sunken part. Sure enough, he found a faint trace of Feng Yuqin.
"Ye, what are you looking for?" Dongfang Zhi asked in surprise.
Mo Xuanye didn't say a word. His spiritual sense continued to follow the trace and began to probe downwards. Finally, he detected a strong aura of Feng Yuqin at a certain place. His face changed the moment he detected her trace.
"Dongfang, send people to dig that mountain," Mo Xuanye said coldly.
"What?" Dongfang Zhi thought he had misheard and asked again, "What did you just say?"
Feng Yi said beside them, "Young Master Zhi, my master wants you to arrange people to dig the mountain. After all, this is your territory, so it's most appropriate to ask you for help."
Dongfang Zhi turned around and gave Feng Yi a strange look. Then his gaze landed on Mo Xuanye again: "Why dig the mountain? Besides, with your strength, you could just wave your hand and remove the mountain, couldn't you?"
Mo Xuanye gave Dongfang Zhi a cold look and said in a cold voice, "There are people inside. If I make a move, it's easy to cause a landslide."
In that case, the people inside would be in even greater danger.
Dongfang Zhi was stunned.
"People? Who?" Dongfang Zhi suddenly thought of something and asked in surprise, "You don't mean Feng Yuqin, do you? Is she still alive?"
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll take back what I promised you before," Mo Xuanye said coldly, with a trace of worry in his tone and eyes.
Dongfang Zhi gritted his teeth: "… You win!"
Dongfang Zhi quickly went to make arrangements.
Since the Cloud Peak Forest belonged to the territory of Cloud Peak City, and Dongfang Zhi was the city lord of Cloud Peak City, it was most appropriate for Mo Xuanye to ask Dongfang Zhi for manpower now.
Dongfang Zhi turned around to make arrangements, and gradually, many people gathered around the mountain.
However, seeing the mountain shaking constantly, they all stood on the periphery, discussing but not daring to go forward.
"What's wrong with this mountain? Why did it suddenly become like this?" someone asked doubtfully.
"Is this an earthquake?" someone said.
"An earthquake only affects this one mountain?" Everyone didn't understand what was going on.
"Could it be that there's some treasure that caused such a commotion?" one of them said.
It was this sentence that made some brave people's minds become active.
There was greed in their eyes.
Some people who were familiar with each other invited each other and planned to venture into the mountain.
But just as they stepped into the mountain, they were thrown away by a force.
Immediately afterwards, Mo Xuanye's cold, gloomy, and slightly dangerous voice sounded around the mountain: "Those who don't want to die, get out!"
