Villain: I am not good at fighting.

"Senior sister, have a safe journey."

Seeing that Hongdie had no ability to resist at all, Liu Muqing slowly came to her side, took off her storage bag, and took away her magic weapon - the Xie Luo Bow.

"It's...useless. You can't escape...your...technique..."

Hongdie had a strong desire to survive and did not die immediately, but kept mumbling something intermittently.

"Kung Fu..."

Liu Muqing stretched out her left hand and took a look. The bright red bloody aura was mixed with a hint of light black.

"Is there something wrong with my technique?"

Hongdie's entire heart had rotted and she was completely dead. Liu Muqing wanted to ask but had no one to ask.

Forget it, the technique is originally a magic technique, it is normal to have problems, and she has no choice anyway.

"Hello, my exotic friend."

Liu Muqing stretched out her hand and let the little black snake wrap around her arm.

"Human, if you break your promise, this snake will make a hole in your heart."

"Okay, okay, it's a deal."

The voice of the Black Water Snake was childish and crisp, but there was a sense of sophistication in his words.

My blind guess is that it is a young alien snake that is about to die of old age.

Liu Muqing quickly searched Hongdie's body, then cut her finger with an autumn leaf knife, forced out a drop of blood, and dripped it on the Xie Luo bow.

Then he looked in the direction where Zhou Qi disappeared, and laughed bloodthirstily:

"Xiao Hei, let's go help Zi Dian."

A strong person who has established his foundation must naturally be killed while he is weak.

Not long after Liu Muqing left, two figures shuttled back and forth at the edge of the dense forest. Judging from the marks on their bodies and their disordered aura, it seemed that they had just experienced a battle.

The two people were none other than Fang Jianyi, who was handsome and held a dark green flying sword, and Xie Xiaoyu, who was wearing a purple robe and had lavender eyes.

"Brother, why is Nalan Qingluo like a madman? Why is he chasing us all the time?"

"These are all old stories. As a brother devoted to Taoism, the Fang family once refused to marry into the Nalan family. It is better not to mention them."

Fang Jianyi explained with a hint of apology.

He used the method of sealing his own cultivation to enter the Kunshan Secret Realm. However, he was unable to display his cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building, so he was entangled by Nalan Qingluo, who had reached the great perfection of Qi training.

Another method used by Hong Die and Zhou Qi was to utilize special spiritual herbs such as Magic Grass and Spiritual Grass to temporarily dissolve the foundation-building cultivation level, and thus fall back to the state of great perfection of Qi Refining.

Since the foundation is still there, he can use some of the foundation-building magical powers, and his spiritual awareness will not be restricted too much, so he can foresee the enemy when encountering it.

The disadvantage is that if you encounter danger, you will not be able to lift the seal and will be expelled from the secret realm. You need to wait for the effect of the herbs to disappear and go through a short period of seclusion before you can restore your foundation.

There are two ways to enter the secret realm. The first one does not require worrying about life danger, but you can only exert the strength of the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. The second one can preserve some of the foundation-building strength, but you cannot get out at any time.

All the major sects, some are eager to protect their disciples, some are careful to protect their reputation, and some have certain purposes like Hongdie, and they will all use the second method.

The first type is used by foundation-building disciples to seize the treasures of heaven and earth. Escorting fellow disciples is just a side job. Most of the time, they are used to snatch the treasures of heaven and earth guarded by strange beasts.

Because after you get it, you can immediately lift the seal, restore your cultivation, and teleport away. This way you can get natural treasures and avoid collisions with powerful beasts.

It is a low-risk, high-return freeloading activity.

“No wonder, the Nalan family is the lineage of the sect master, and Nalan Qingluo is the younger sister of the sect master, so she is arrogant.

Seeing me getting close to my senior brother, he got angry and embarrassed. Alas, unlike me, a junior sister, who only feels sorry for my senior brother~"

Xie Xiaoyu pretended to be annoyed, shook his head, then moved his body and quietly approached Fang Jianyi.

"Junior sister, be serious, there is something going on ahead!"

The method of sealing one's own cultivation would also seal the foundation consciousness. Fang Jianyi could only rely on his keen five senses and naked eyes to observe the situation.

There were fallen trees in front of them, and the scene was in a mess. The Hongdie from the Hongluan Sect, whom they had been following, had turned into a cold corpse.

With a flash of their figures, the two jumped down from the treetops and landed next to the body of Red Butterfly. They looked at it and said:

"The chest is rotten, the poison is strong, and the body is still warm, so he must have died not long ago. Judging from the signs of fighting around him... In addition to the strange beast, there was also a third person present."

"Is it Sister Mu Qing?"

"No, Junior Sister, look at these broken woods. The remaining spiritual energy is fierce and fierce. Does it look like the beast-like swordsmanship of the Holy Beast Mountain?"

Fang Jianyi pointed at a large piece of wood not far from Hongdie's body and asked analytically.

"This place is not far from the bottom of the cliff. When we came out, Senior Brother Zhou from Holy Beast Mountain happened to fall off the cliff. Could it be that Senior Brother Zhou from Holy Beast Mountain killed this disciple from the Red Luan Sect?"

Xie Xiaoyu's tone was a little worried. Hongdie was related to the whereabouts of her Liu Muqing, and Zhou Qi was a very violent person.

She was very worried that if Zhou Qi met Liu Muqing, he would mistake her for a disciple of the evil sect and kill her as well.

Although she did join the magic path.

Fang Jian placed his hand on Hong Die's forehead and passed a ray of spiritual power into it. After a moment, he shook his head to deny Xie Xiaoyu's guess and said:

“The fatal injury was her chest being rotted by toxins. She didn’t die from the beast-mimicking sword technique. She has a spirit and soul. She should have been a foundation-building cultivator when she was alive.

Junior sister, use your pupil technique to capture her soul first and take her away with you. Then go back and find a fellow junior brother who has entered here using the spirit-descending technique and search her soul to confirm it."

The method of summoning spirits refers to the foundation-building monks who use the second method to enter here.

Generally speaking, for a cultivator who has established his foundation, his spirit and soul are strong, and if he dies unexpectedly, it will take 49 days for his soul to gradually disappear.

If one has practiced soul-related skills, one can also take over the body of a Qi-refining cultivator whose realm is lower than one's, or switch to the ghost path and become a vengeful spirit or evil ghost.

The red butterfly in front of him obviously had not practiced any similar martial arts, so his soul could not leave his body after death and he could only wait for natural death.

"Ah."

Xie Xiaoyu nodded slightly, two rays of light shot out from his lavender eyes, and Hongdie's transparent and illusory soul was forcibly restrained out of his body.

The soul of Hongdie, who had just died, was still in an unconscious state. Xie Xiaoyu took out a small jade bottle, put the soul directly into it, and then put it into the storage bag.

"Brother, what should we do now?"

The death of Hong Die meant that the clue to Liu Muqing was gone, so Xie Xiaoyu had to subconsciously ask his smart, tall and handsome senior brother.

"Of course, follow the blood trail."

Fang Jianyi pointed at the ground not far behind Xie Xiaoyu, where there was blood from Zhou Qi being shot by an arrow.

……

Wandering deep in the dense forest, Liu Muqing, who was busy chasing Zhou Qi, had no time to deal with Hong Die's body. In fact, she did not know that after the death of a foundation-building cultivator, a soul would remain.

At this moment, she was joining forces with the Black Water Snake and the Big-eared Purple Electric Marten to surround and kill Zhou Qi.

After Hongdie died, the mark on the Xie Luo bow disappeared, and Liu Muqing dripped her own blood on it to establish a connection.

But she soon discovered that without spiritual awareness, her archery skills were no more than those of a young boy who had just tasted meat.

You can't hit it at all.
