Villain: I am not good at fighting.

Of course, Li Zhiyun is only the first line of defense to control Liu Muqing.

When entering the Kunshan Secret Realm, the eldest disciple Hong Die will carry the secret treasure and monitor Liu Muqing throughout the process as a second line of insurance.

There is also the trick that Hong Ju played on the Nine Evils Cuanyin Jue, which Liu Muqing would discover only after he was promoted to the Foundation Establishment stage. This is the third layer of insurance and also the last resort.

All hopes of Hongqi forming a pill rest on Liu Muqing, so naturally she cannot be allowed to escape from control. As long as she succeeds in building her foundation, she will go to the Hehuan Sect obediently.

If Hongju gets the reward promised by the Hehuan Sect, she will have the opportunity to advance to the Jindan stage and will not have to worry about Liu Muqing's revenge in the future.

Thinking back to when I first met her, she was only thirteen years old, but she could kill mortals without hesitation. Such a vicious, natural born devil must not be involved too deeply.

"Master, in addition to limiting cultivation, does this Kunshan Secret Realm have other restrictions?"

Given Hongqiu's cautiousness, she did not monitor her personally, but chose to let her eldest disciple Hongdie suppress her cultivation and escort her into the secret realm to find the spiritual spring. This made Liu Muqing smell something unusual.

"Humph, put away your little thoughts and tell me, do you agree or not?"

Hong Qi did not answer Liu Muqing's question, but looked directly at this low-key disciple.

There are ancient restrictions in the Kunshan Secret Realm. Cultivators with bone ages over sixty years old and above the Qi Refining Stage are unable to enter.

Hongju is in the late stage of foundation building and is nearly a hundred years old. Even if she suppresses her cultivation, she cannot enter, and can only be monitored by her eldest disciple Hongdie.

"Disciple will of course agree, but before entering the secret realm, Master, can you please keep Senior Sister Zhiyun by my side?"

From the beginning to the end, Liu Muqing had no choice. Xie Xiaoyu and Li Zhiyun were the only two human warmth she experienced in her short life, and they were the bottom line for her to retain her humanity.

One is her deceased sister Liu Xianlan, so she cares very much about this relationship, but this has become her most fatal shackle.

"No, there are still three months until the Kunshan Secret Realm opens. During this time, you must follow me and practice the fourth level of the Nine Evils Cumulative Yin Technique - Blood Evil."

Hong Qi rejected Liu Muqing's request without hesitation. To condense the blood evil, a large number of lives need to be killed. Bringing Li Zhiyun, a burden, would only affect efficiency.

With the spiritual power under her feet circulating, Hongqiu stepped on the surface of the medicine pool and walked in front of Liu Muqing, looking down at her.

"When you successfully build your foundation and go to the upper sect for Hehuan, you sisters will have plenty of time to get together."

As she spoke, Hong Qi violently tore off Liu Muqing's clothes, condensed a wisp of bloody evil energy, and wandered over her flawless white body, guiding it to circulate in a large circulation.

Not until the bloody evil energy was absorbed by the acupoints in Liu Muqing's body did Hong Ju stand up and calmly threw a jade slip to Liu Muqing.

"This is the Blood Spirit Technique that comes with the fourth level of the Nine Evils Cuan Yin Jue. You should familiarize yourself with it and follow me down the mountain to kill people tomorrow."

Sha is a vicious spirit. The Blood Spirit Technique uses qi and blood as a carrier to transform this vicious spirit into blood Sha.

Blood evil is different from Yin evil, zombie evil, and mother and child evil. It is no longer invisible, but an extremely dangerous and tangible special energy.

It can bring great strength, speed, and reaction ability to the owner, but it will also erode the owner's sanity, gradually making him crazy and bloodthirsty.

But that's all later. After five years of practice, Liu Muqing finally acquired the basic means to fight.

But she just couldn't feel happy in her heart.

Liu Muqing put on her clothes with a numb expression, opened the door, and looked up at the sky. It was all white, and the clouds covered the entire Xiaoyun Peak.

Just like her mood at the moment.

Canary, bird in a cage, when will it spread its wings and fly high into the sky?

At this time, Li Zhiyun, who was outside the door, saw her coming out and went forward to hug her with a worried look.

"I'm sorry, it was Master who asked me... asked me to lie to you, wuwu..."

Li Zhiyun blamed herself for what happened before, and Hongqiu forced her to deceive Liu Muqing, making Liu Muqing mistakenly believe that she was sent to Shangzong for Hehuan.

Looking at her sisters with tears in their eyes, Liu Muqing also felt ashamed. If she had known earlier, she would have let her follow Sister Xiaoyu.

Why did I bring her into the devil's world? Was it because I was afraid that I wanted my closest sister to accompany me...

"Sister Zhiyun, do you blame me?"

Liu Muqing held her cheeks with both hands and looked into her eyes. He hadn't seen her so innocent and romantic for many years.

Li Zhiyun was stunned for a moment, not following Liu Muqing's train of thought, and asked while sobbing:

"Why blame you? I lied to you, not you, wuwu..."

Liu Muqing pulled her into her arms, buried her face in her hair, and forced a smile, saying comfortingly:

"It's okay, my dear sister, don't cry, we..."

The kiss on her cherry lips and the hot and moist breath lingered on her ears. Li Zhiyun gradually stopped crying, and the two sisters just hugged each other quietly, without saying a word.

This was the code word they agreed upon, meaning that we still had to go find Sister Xiaoyu. Hongdie, who was watching from the side, naturally didn't understand.

The next day, Liu Muqing and Hongqiu went down the mountain. Li Zhiyun followed Hongdie back to Tiandu Peak to practice, but in fact she was the supervisor. Hongqiu controlled the magic weapon and took Liu Muqing all the way south.

After half a day, the two flew over a lush and boundless bamboo sea. Hong Qi stopped her magic weapon and stared at it for a moment, then turned to Liu Muqing and said:

"There is a maze 500 feet to the southwest. There are two casual Qi practitioners hiding inside. Use the Blood Spirit Technique that your master taught you to kill them!"

"How do we break the maze?"

"Left in, right three, don't waste too much time."

Liu Muqing didn't say anything else and jumped off the magic weapon directly. When he was close to the ground, he mobilized the blood evil power in his body, tapped the bamboo tip lightly with his foot, and used the force to rebound and jumped seven or eight feet.

The spiritual power of the Qi Refining Stage can only control magical instruments for a short period of time. The five senses have not yet formed spiritual consciousness, and the sensing range is also limited, approximately to 500 meters. The farther the distance, the vaguer the range.

Only when one is promoted to the foundation-building stage, the essence, energy and spirit will merge into one, the five senses will undergo a qualitative change, spiritual consciousness will evolve, and the spiritual power in the body will also be upgraded from gaseous to actual spiritual power flow.

Only then can one be like Hongqiu, flying the magic weapon for a long time, scanning the surrounding situation with spiritual sense, and sitting back and watching the situation.

The wind was whistling in her ears. Liu Muqing was about a hundred feet away from where Hong Qi pointed. The vague sensation gradually became clear, and the general situation inside the maze began to appear in her mind.

There were two casual Qi-cultivating cultivators, one at the third level, and the other at the fifth level. Due to the obstruction of the maze, their genders were unknown, and the other party did not react until she was fifty feet away.

With almost no hesitation, the two Qi-cultivating cultivators immediately fled to the left and right the moment they sensed Liu Muqing. The maze also changed, and its range expanded several times in an instant.

"Why did they know they were going to die without even asking?"

With doubt in his eyes, Liu Muqing took out a magical instrument from his waist - the Sanskrit flute. He gathered his spiritual power and blew it hard. The powerful sound waves came layer by layer, destroying the surrounding green bamboos.

The maze lost its effect, and then the bloody evil energy gathered into a spring. Liu Muqing turned into a blood shadow and chased after the casual cultivator who was at the fifth level of Qi training.
