Aoki, who had been lying on the ground, had now stood up.
His face was still pale without any blood, and when he breathed, white air was still blowing out, which was shockingly cold.
But this is a normal situation. After all, he was so eroded by the extremely Yin Xuanqi before that he was still hanging with only his last breath left.
Now, although the cold energy in his body has been absorbed by Chen Hai, it is impossible for his severely damaged body to fully recover in an instant.
"Thank you for saving me, sir. If you hadn't helped me, I would have been doomed this time and died here!"
After sensing the situation inside his body, Aoki looked bitter and let out a long sigh.
He cupped his fist at Chen Hai, saluted, and continued: "Since I have made a great oath of heaven and earth, I will be loyal to you for a thousand years, and I will definitely not go back on it."
"Young Master, please rest assured about this, but for a while, I will definitely have to recuperate my body so that I can recover as much strength as possible."
"I can't help you at the moment, sir, but I hope you can understand!"
Looking at Chen Hai, whose strength was no more than that of a Golden Immortal, Aoki's expression was extremely complicated.
With his strength and status, he would not even bother to take a second look at the cultivators below Daluo Jinxian.
But now, he has been reduced to working for a little golden fairy like Chen Hai?
Thinking of this cruel reality, Aoki felt really uncomfortable.
"Anyway, it only lasts for a thousand years. If you are lucky and stay safe all the time, after a few retreats, this time may have passed!"
"At that time, I will still be the aloof Talisman Master of Tianfu, and I will still be respected by thousands of people!"
"As for the disgraceful years I spent working for such a golden immortal like you, if you don't tell me and I don't tell you, how will others know about it?"
After silently explaining to himself for a while, Aoki finally felt a little calmer.
Perhaps in order to say goodbye to his past for a while, he, who looked quite old to begin with, suddenly turned completely gray in beard and hair, and his pale face had wrinkles that deepened rapidly, making him look like the bark of an old tree.
Even his skinny body seemed to have become hunched over.
The appearance of Aoki at this moment is completely different from the one he had when he first recovered.
If Chen Hai hadn't clearly seen this scene happen, even he would have had a hard time connecting the hunchbacked old man in front of him, who seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind, with the Aoki from before.
"There's nothing going on in the mansion for the time being. It's been relatively safe. As a housekeeper, you might as well stay here to recuperate!"
"If there is anything I can do to help, don't be polite to me, just tell me directly!"
Smiling, Chen Hai nodded, stood up, and walked outside the training room.
…
More than a hundred miles away from Donglin City, on top of a mountain.
Tianyin, who was dressed in white, and Meiji, who was dressed in red robes, landed here one by one.
"What's going on, Tianyin?"
"Can't you clearly sense that Qingmu is hiding in Donglin City ahead? Why did you suddenly ask me to stop when I got here?"
"Is it possible that you are still worried about alerting the enemy? Aoki, who only has half a life left at most, will notice the arrival of you and me?"
With a straight face, Meiji looked displeased. She looked at Tianyin and asked.
According to her idea, since they have noticed Aoki's traces and are afraid that something will change later, they should not give Aoki any time to react. Going directly to kill Aoki is the most suitable choice for them.
"Mei Ji, something seems a little wrong!"
Looking at Mei Ji in front of her who was obviously dissatisfied with herself, Tianyin sighed and smiled bitterly.
Immediately afterwards, he spoke again and added: "Before, I sensed that Aoki was hiding in Donglin City. This is indeed correct."
"But now, he can no longer detect any trace of his existence."
"If my estimate is correct, the reason why this situation occurs is because the extremely yin profound energy in Qingmu's body has been completely resolved."
"How powerful is my extremely yin profound energy? Mei Ji, you should know."
"With Aoki's own strength alone, he has absolutely no ability to expel the extremely yin profound energy from his body. Someone must have helped to lead to such a result."
Tianyin looked helpless, and at this point, he had stopped talking.
There are tens of millions of people in the entire Donglin City. Under the situation that they can no longer locate Aoki, they want to find Aoki, which is not much better than finding a needle in a haystack.
What's more, since the extremely yin profound energy in Qingmu's body has been eliminated, if nothing unexpected happens, he should have recovered some combat power.
In addition, there is probably an unknown strong person beside him who can help him get rid of the extremely yin profound energy...
Tianyin felt that it was a bit reckless for him and Meiji to kill Donglin City like this. If one of them failed, it might lead to some uncontrolled accidents.
"Those who have the strength to help Qingmu deal with the extremely yin profound energy, even if their strength is not as strong as you and me, should not be much different!"
"If there really is such an unknown strong man helping Aoki, we really need to be more cautious if we want to deal with Aoki."
"Tianyin, how do you think we should deal with this current situation?"
"We two quasi-sages are here, we can't just do nothing and just go home in despair, right?"
Nodding, Meiji tilted her head and thought for a while, then her eyes fell on Tianyin and asked again.
"In order to ambush Aoki, you and I have spent so much energy, and now that we have chased him here, it will definitely not work to just leave in such a dejected manner."
Shaking his head like a rattle, Tianyin smiled and continued: "This Donglin City is a city under my Demon Palace, and its city owner Fang Datong has the strength of the Great Luo Realm, and can barely be considered a close subordinate of mine.
"
"In my opinion, it is best for you and me to directly enter the city lord's palace without alerting anyone."
"With our identities, even if Fang Datong has some courage, he wouldn't dare to disobey us."
"As the lord of Donglin City, he has been operating in this city for thousands of years. With his full cooperation with us, as long as the Qingmu is still hidden in the city, no matter how well he hides it, the traces will be found sooner or later."
"You and I, just wait and see what happens. Even if there is such an unknown strong person beside him to help him, no matter how clear they are, we are hiding it."
"No matter how things develop, it will be beneficial and harmless to you and me, what do you think?"
After Tianyin finished speaking, Meiji was silent for a while.
"What you said does sound reasonable. Okay, I'll do as you said!" In just a moment, she had already made a decision in her heart.
This place is not too far from Donglin City, which is about a hundred miles.
Since the two of them planned to keep a low profile and did not want to alarm the people in the city, it was naturally inappropriate for them to rush into the sky and fly away.
Meiji was a very generous girl. She stretched out her arm and grabbed Tianyin's hand, while the other hand was directly hanging on his arm.
Then, dragging her swaying Tianyin, she went down the mountain and walked quickly towards Dong Lincheng.
