Villain: I am not good at fighting.

"Brother, you are worrying too much. This killing array is only aimed at cultivators."

Liu Muqing felt that it was not convincing enough, so she added another sentence.

"Given by my master Lin Luo."

"Master Lin Luo!"

These four simple words were full of value and instantly dispelled all of Bian He's doubts. His eyes were shining with a fighting spirit.

"I never thought that Junior Sister is so senior. She is actually the direct disciple of Master Lin Luo. I wonder how Senior Brother Fang Jianyi of Guishan is doing now?"

Among the ten great geniuses, Fang Jianyi from Luoxia Mountain who is in the top five is very famous. He had a record of killing late-stage demon cultivators when he was in the middle stage of foundation building, and was hailed as the successor of the first Jindan forest.

“First, I am not a direct disciple, but only a nominal disciple of the master.

Second, even if Senior Brother Bian comprehends the profound Dao essence at his current level, he probably won’t be able to defeat him. Senior Brother Fang is already in the late stage of foundation building.”

Before Liu Muqing came out, Fang Jianyi was on the verge of a breakthrough. Now, more than half a year has passed, and with Fang Jianyi's natural spiritual roots, it is certain that he will reach the late stage of foundation building.

There is no bottleneck before the formation of the elixir in his spiritual roots, and the resources are sufficient for his practice to proceed smoothly. In terms of combat power, the power of the Taixuan Dao that he has comprehended is extraordinary.

Although Liu Muqing was born with a Xuanyin body and practiced corresponding skills, she could not keep up with his practice speed, not to mention that Bian He had just entered the middle stage of foundation building.

"Is it already the late stage of foundation building?"

Bian He tightened his grip on the knife, but the fighting spirit in his eyes did not disappear, but became even more intense. This was what made it interesting.

Is it true that men only see fighting and fighting? Liu Muqing shook her head, indicating that she couldn't understand.

"Junior Sister Liu, there are two things that I still can't figure out. I would like to ask you for your advice."

Upon learning that Liu Muqing was a disciple of Master Lin Luo, Bian He admired Liu Muqing's intelligence but at the same time, he became a little more polite. Although she was just a nominal disciple, it was almost the same. Lin Luo was well-known for protecting his people.

"Brother Bian, please tell me. I may not know, but I will tell you everything I know."

Bian He cleared his throat, organized his words and asked:

"Junior Sister Liu, if Senior Brother Long's disappearance is really related to Junior Sister Wang, then what is Junior Sister Wang's purpose in doing this?

Senior Brother Long is in the middle stage of foundation building and has practiced the true body training. Logically speaking, his combat power should not be bad. Even if he is defeated in a head-on confrontation with the black dragon, it should not be difficult for him to escape."

Liu Muqing raised her cute cat head and looked at him for a long time. Bian He looked at herself suspiciously and asked:

"Junior Sister Liu, what's wrong?"

"Brother Bian, you and I were both slacking off during the mission, so the information we know is pretty much the same. If I knew the reason, would I be meditating here?"

Liu Muqing withdrew her gaze and stopped looking at him, continuing to refine the remaining cold evil in her body.

Bian He felt that what Liu Muqing said made sense, so he did not go to check the water area. He sat cross-legged and adjusted his breathing. The two of them remained silent until night fell.

Feeling that the time was about right, Liu Muqing called Bian He to go to the agreed restaurant, intending to go to Hanbingdao for help immediately if there was any trouble.

The mission jade slip must be crushed into at least four pieces in order to alert the Jindan elders. If Zhou Rui also disappears, they will lose the opportunity to ask for help directly from their superiors.

This was something Liu Muqing had not thought of before. Wang Xiaoxiao's purpose of dispersing them was probably to prevent them from having the opportunity to notify the sect.

Bian He had just been promoted to the middle stage of foundation building and was quite confident in his own strength, so he didn't think about it at all.

"Brother Bian."

"Um"

"You also know that I am not good at fighting, Junior Sister. If a fight occurs next, I will assist you with the formation."

Before leaving, Liu Muqing wanted to add another layer of insurance for herself, so she patiently persuaded Bian He.

Bian He thought Liu Muqing was nervous, so he raised the precious sword in his hand, unsheathed the blade half an inch, flashing a little cold light, and assured:

"Junior Sister Liu, relax, my sword is not vegetarian."

Bian He's sword is a mid-grade magic weapon that can be stored inside his body, but he carries it with him like a martial artist. It's not that he really carries a sword without an umbrella on a rainy night.

Liu Muqing guessed that he had comprehended the contents related to the sword in the Taixuan Sutra, and he took the sword in order to cultivate the sword intent, just like Fang Jianyi and the Moying Sword cultivated the sword intent and were inseparable.

The two of them rode on a beam of light and entered the city. Their spiritual awareness expanded fully and swept towards yesterday's restaurant. Their minds then reflected the images and they discovered Zhou Rui.

He is safe and sound.

Bian He turned his head and looked at Liu Muqing, and for some reason he felt a little more admiration for her. He had previously questioned whether Junior Sister Liu's use of Junior Brother Zhou as a test stone was undermining the demeanor of Master Lin Luo's disciple.

Now it seems that I was too narrow-minded. The situation has always been under the control of Junior Sister Liu. Zhou Rui is fine, and the main problem does not lie with Junior Sister Wang.

Senior Brother Long’s disappearance is related to the black dragon, so what is the real reason why Junior Sister Liu did this?

Bian He soon figured out the answer in his mind. Junior Sister Liu did this to completely eliminate Junior Sister Wang's suspicion, so that everyone would not be suspicious of each other when they cooperated to hunt the black dragon.

What a smart woman, such a careful calculation.

At his side, Liu Muqing, who was completely unaware, breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the problem was not with their own people, with the four foundation-building masters joining forces, the Black Dragon still had room to plot.

Compared to Long Ye’s disappearance, she felt more sorry for the mid-grade spirit stones she had consumed in setting up the formation.

After entering the restaurant, the four of them exchanged greetings, and Zhou Rui was the first to ask:

"Brother Bian, how is your investigation going? Have you found anything suspicious in the waters?"

"Uh...no."

Both of them felt a little guilty and didn't even bother to check where the suspicion came from.

"So will you continue to investigate the waters, or join me and Junior Sister Wang?"

Bian He and Liu Muqing shook their heads at the same time. Bian He didn't want to get involved. Being too involved in cause and effect would easily bring trouble. Luck was a mysterious thing. If it was not innate, it would easily backfire.

Just as Long Ye was gathering his luck, he disappeared, and the reason has not been found yet.

Liu Muqing simply hated worldly rules. She had finally become an immortal, and now she was asked to become a mortal again, following the rules and helping to build momentum. This was more painful than killing her.

"Junior Sister Liu and I should continue to investigate the waters. When our luck gathers, we will join forces to kill the black dragon."

"Well, Senior Brother Bian and Junior Sister Liu, it's best not to leave the capital too far to prevent the black dragon from appearing early."

Everyone was building their foundation, and if the two were unwilling, no one could force them. Wang Xiaoxiao just gave them a reminder and then took Zhou Rui away.

Bian He turned his head and looked at Liu Muqing with questioning eyes.

"Brother Bian, let's wait and see what happens."

Liu Muqing came to the table and sat down, tapping her fingers on the table. Her brain was working and she was confused by the situation in front of her.

Wang Xiaoxiao's suspicion has been ruled out. Long Ye's disappearance is related to the strange beast black dragon. The current main goal is to fish out the black dragon.

But how to explain the formation outside the city?

The range covered by that formation is the entire capital city. Liu Muqing's Five Elements Trapping Formation requires five formations to be deployed simultaneously and echo each other in order to expand to this extent.

The scorched earth and wild forest were devoid of all life. It didn't look like a serious thing at all. Instead, it looked more like a blood sacrifice formation of an evil cultivator.
