"Could it be Feng Yuqin who saved them?" someone reacted and said.
"I think it's very likely the case. I never expected that Feng Yuqin's pills would benefit us, and now she's saved our family members."
Seeing this scene, Qi Ruyi's eyes flashed a cold glint.
She never thought that Feng Yuqin had become so well - known.
Just a few people could recognize Feng Yuqin's identity.
"Master Qi, our family members were captured by your Qi Family and used for poison testing. Shouldn't you give us an explanation?" a man looked at the head of the Qi Family and asked.
"What kind of explanation do you want?" the head of the Qi Family asked coldly.
"Of course, the person who captured our family members should be handed over, and your Qi Family can't just get away with this."
"Who do you think you are? How dare you point fingers at our Qi Family?" Qi Ruyi was extremely confident because the elder of the Qi Family was present, and Elder An was about to level up.
Everyone didn't expect Qi Ruyi to be so arrogant. Their faces turned extremely ugly.
Qi Ruyi still held her head high like a proud peacock. "What? Not convinced? If you're not convinced, go and fight our elder directly. Let's see who's stronger under the sword."
These people were almost furious. Some of their families also had elders.
But the elders of their families would only appear when the family was on the verge of destruction. Who would show up for every little thing like the elder of the Qi Family?
"Don't be afraid. Just fight them." A hot - tempered person couldn't hold back and directly attacked Qi Ruyi.
As soon as Qi Ruyi saw the other person's movement, she immediately hid behind the guards of the Qi Family.
"Qi Ruyi, if you have the guts, don't hide. Come and fight me to the death first!" a man shouted.
"That's right. Your Qi Family has hurt our family members. We're here today to seek justice for our relatives."
Bang!
Puff...
Feng Yuqin spat out blood again.
"Master..." Xiao Ying quickly flew to Feng Yuqin's side.
Only then did the people around notice Xiao Ying.
Previously, Xiao Ying had tried his best to hide his figure so that his master could temper her body while fighting the elder of the Qi Family.
So when he showed up, everyone was shocked.
"Is that a spiritual pet?" someone asked in shock.
"A... a talking spiritual pet?" Everyone was excited.
"He called Feng Yuqin master, so this is Feng Yuqin's spiritual pet?"
"Feng Yuqin has very powerful pills, and now she has a spiritual pet. Could she be the daughter of a big family?"
"I think it's possible. Otherwise, how could she take out so many pills?"
The elder of the Qi Family looked at Feng Yuqin coldly and said, "You're no match for me. Stay and be sacrificed with them."
Feng Yuqin squinted her eyes slightly, a mocking smile curving her lips as she sneered, "Are you sure I'm no match for you?"
She hadn't used the spatial domain or other skills just now. She had simply tempered her body and consolidated her strength by resisting the attacks head - on.
But it didn't mean she was no match for the elder of the Qi Family.
"You've been spat out blood several times by me." The elder of the Qi Family looked contemptuous. "You're too weak. I'm too lazy to make a move. It's more suitable to save you for our Elder An's blood sacrifice."
"Wh... what blood sacrifice?" a man who came to the Qi Family for an explanation asked.
The others also reacted and looked at the elder of the Qi Family in surprise.
Qi Ruyi stepped forward to explain. "Of course, we'll use your blood for the sacrifice."
Everyone's faces changed. Then someone said, "Is your Qi Family being too arrogant? You even said you'll use us for a blood sacrifice. Aren't you afraid of being punished by the law - enforcement officers in the Central Region?"
The Central Region was different from the Western Song State. There was no royal family, but there was a Law - Enforcement Hall.
If someone did something unethical, the people from the Law - Enforcement Hall would come out to punish them.
The elder of the Qi Family sneered. "Since we dare to keep you here, we're not afraid of the Law - Enforcement Hall."
"Master Qi, there are more people coming to the Qi Family for an explanation." a guard came over.
The elder of the Qi Family asked first, "How many people?"
"Nearly a hundred..." the guard replied.
"That's enough." the elder of the Qi Family said. "Let them in."
"Old fool, what do you mean by 'enough'?" Xiao Ying asked.
The elder of the Qi Family's face darkened. But thinking that these people were going to die and Xiao Ying would become his spiritual pet, he felt very happy and was even in the mood to explain to Xiao Ying and the others present, "Of course, the number of people for the blood sacrifice is enough. Once they're all here, I'll use you for the blood sacrifice."
"With so many of us, do you think it's too much of a fantasy to use us for a blood sacrifice?" a man said disdainfully.
"Really? You'll soon know if I'm having a fantasy." The smile on the elder of the Qi Family's face couldn't be hidden at all. The pride in his eyes made Feng Yuqin squint slightly.
"Xiao Ying, do you think a single elder from the Central Region would dare to confront so many forces?" Feng Yuqin began to analyze if there was something else behind the elder of the Qi Family.
Xiao Ying thought for a moment and said, "Master, I just used my spiritual sense to detect the Qi Family. There's no one more powerful than the elder of the Qi Family. But..."
"But what?" Feng Yuqin asked.
"There should be a half - soul body in the Qi Family." Xiao Ying remembered some things he knew before and carefully explained to Feng Yuqin, "Master, if my guess is correct, this half - soul body is the Elder An that the Qi Family people talk about."
"What does it have to do with the blood sacrifice?" Feng Yuqin had never heard of the blood sacrifice.
She had only been in this world for a short time and wasn't very clear about many things here.
Xiao Ying knew this, so he continued, "This blood sacrifice should have disappeared many years ago. It's a taboo cultivation technique. Before a person dies, they divide their soul body into two parts. Now that the Qi Family has a half - soul body, there must be the other half."
"The other half should be the place the Qi Family people are going to." Feng Yuqin was smart. She could guess many things before Xiao Ying finished speaking. "And the other half of this half - soul body should be very powerful. Otherwise, the people of the Qi Family wouldn't have gone to seek refuge there."
After Feng Yuqin finished speaking, she remembered the change in the elder of the Qi Family's expression before and said to Xiao Ying,
"The elder of the Qi Family was going to stop those people who were used for poison testing before, but he suddenly gave up and showed an excited look on his face. This means they had already decided to abandon this place and leave."
"That's right. The last blood sacrifice requires people. And those people going out will definitely attract others.
Even in the worst - case scenario, if the family members of those used for poison testing don't come, the chaos in the Qi Family will still attract many onlookers. Those onlookers may become the last batch of sacrifices." When Xiao Ying said this, he thought the people of the Qi Family were simply crazy.
