Villain: I am not good at fighting.

Spiritual consciousness is a fusion of spirit and will, and is divided into two states: one is early warning of crisis, and the other is actively scanning the target range.

The former exists at all times as long as the practitioner is not in a state of blurred consciousness, and its range can be large or small depending on the strength of the consciousness.

Back in the Kunshan Secret Realm, Liu Muqing sneak attacked Hongdie and was captured by her spiritual sense. This was a warning of crisis in this passive situation.

The latter can be regarded as the third eye of a cultivator. It has no blind spots, only range limitations. The farther the distance, the blurrier it is, and vice versa.

It can be blocked by magic arrays, magic tools, talismans and other props.

Those who have practiced this kind of skills can also use them for attack, such as illusion, charm, mind-shaking spells, Buddhist lion roars, etc.

The most common means of performing this type of operation are voice and eyes. Eyes are directly connected to the soul and are the most vulnerable, but can also best demonstrate strength.

Those with low cultivation dare not look directly at the strong. The strong's spiritual pressure, or just a glance, can directly intimidate the minds of the weak.

Therefore, cultivators would often judge the strength of their opponents based on their spiritual consciousness. This was the case with Liu Muqing who switched from practicing the Nine Evils Cuan Yin Jue to the Mysterious Ice Jue.

He is three points weaker than those in the same realm, and the range of his spiritual awareness is not as good as the normal foundation building realm. Therefore, the emperor in the palace with a male body and a female appearance is also in the foundation building realm.

It was easy for him to avoid Liu Muqing's spiritual sense, but it was difficult for Liu Muqing to detect him without his knowledge.

This rhythm continued for three days. Liu Muqing could vaguely feel that the other party was in the palace, but she could not catch any trace.

Bian He's attention has always been on Wang Xiaoxiao, and he didn't seem to take the initiative to pay attention to him. During this period, the gates of the capital city were wide open, and troops from all directions poured into the city.

The capital city was overcrowded for a while, and several guests moved into the restaurant where Liu Muqing worked, so she was kicked out.

It is worth mentioning that this room in the restaurant was previously shown as an unoccupied Room No. 1. Liu Muqing, Bian He and others stayed there temporarily, but the owner of the restaurant was unaware of it.

Just like this, Liu Muqing, like a marginal figure abandoned by the organization, sat on the roof of the restaurant, supporting her cheeks with her hands, watching the bustling city life with boredom.

In order to make as much money as possible, vendors selling ice fruit quote different prices to different people, and the prices for locals and outsiders are completely different.

The woman who sold rouge and powder was sarcastic about the woman who sold tofu next door, saying that she was not clean and must have made money by seducing men, but the rouge and powder she sold were also adulterated.

The lady selling tofu had a good business. After selling a cartload of tofu in the morning, she went back home and brought another cartload to continue selling. Liu Muqing saw that she had a seriously ill mother and a lame father at home.

And her husband who stole the money she earned from selling tofu and then went to the gambling house.

Such a world is as prosperous as blood, like a beautiful human skin, thin and bright, beneath the skin are naked bones and flesh, full of filth and helplessness.

"Junior Sister Liu, can you come over and have a chat?"

Bian He's voice came from the direction of the palace. Liu Muqing slowly raised her head, breaking free from the purgatory of the mortal world, and her eyes returned to silence and coldness.

"Brother Bian, what happened?"

A green light rose up, and the black robe and the cute cat head were blowing in the wind. Liu Muqing stepped into the palace and looked down from above.

In the back garden, all the maids were silent. Bian He held a knife in one hand and placed it on Wang Xiaoxiao's shoulder. Wang Xiaoxiao's face was pale and a trace of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

Zhou Rui looked alert, staring at the hole that appeared in the rockery of the flower garden. At the same time, he exuded the aura of the Foundation Establishment Period to intimidate the Qi Refining monks who came from the surroundings.

There was a corpse at the entrance of the rockery cave. It was thin and shriveled, with skin and bones all around. There was a huge hole in the heart that went through it from front to back.

"Besides us, there is another person who is building a foundation, and he is not Senior Brother Long."

Bian He spoke briefly and pointed to the entrance of the rockery cave, from which there was a faint smell of blood.

Liu Muqing had guessed this a long time ago and glanced at Zhou Rui suspiciously. She saw that his expression was fluctuating, as if he had just had a fight with someone.

"Damn it, I was mistaken. That bitch emperor is actually a foundation-building person."

Zhou Rui explained to Liu Muqing, unable to hide his anger.

"Zhou Rui looks normal, so I barely believe him."

Liu Muqing muttered to herself, and came to the corpse. She just lowered her head to take a look and then she chuckled.

“Hehehe… No wonder you’re hiding from me, turns out you’re an old friend from the Demon Sect.”

The deceased was an old man. His skin was still fresh, but all his blood and energy were gone. There was a big hole in his chest, as if his heart had been taken out from behind.

Liu Muqing was very familiar with this method of killing, which was once her specialty, the "Blood Evil Magic".

"A man with a female appearance, a foundation-building cultivation base, blood-killing magic skills, and the gathering of luck. No, he has dragon energy in him."

The furnace tripod was cultivated by Elder Hongping of the Hongluan Sect, the third prince of the Zhou Kingdom in the Hehuan Sect's territory, specifically for an elder of the Hehuan Sect who had a male chauvinist tendency.

During the trip to Kunshan Secret Realm, he joined forces with two other Golden Boys to kill Hongye. After leaving the secret realm, he escaped from the siege of three foundation-building masters, Hongqiu, Hongping, etc.

He is really good at running. He actually appeared in the rear of Daoxuan Sect. No wonder he was hiding from her. It turned out that he was afraid that she would recognize his whereabouts in advance.

"Brother Bian, this is the method used by the remnants of the evil ways. How did you discover it?"

"Junior Sister Liu, are you sure it was a demonic trick?"

Bian He also realized that this was the method of the Demon Sect, so he put aside his past grudges and asked Liu Muqing to come over for a chat. His repeated questioning was to confirm that Wang Xiaoxiao was guilty of colluding with the Demon Sect.

"Well, I'm quite sure."

Hearing this, Bian He didn't hesitate at all. He pressed down with one hand and slapped Wang Xiaoxiao hard on the back. Wang Xiaoxiao groaned, and blood spurted out of the corner of his mouth uncontrollably.

"Tell me, why did you collude with the Demon Cult?"

Wang Xiaoxiao raised her head stubbornly and stared at Zhou Rui hatefully. She didn't expect that the accident would happen to the most inconspicuous Se Pi.

The third prince of the Zhou Kingdom has a male body and a female appearance. He has been pretending to be an ordinary person these days, and he and Zhou Rui have been showing off their divine power in front of people. This is indeed to gather their luck.

Zhou Rui had examined him before and found that apart from a wisp of dragon energy, there was no other aura in his body, so he was not a cultivator.

Wang Xiaoxiao has been keeping me in suspense for so many days. Thinking about the puppet emperor with a gentle appearance, it is not impossible to accept it if I can be patient.

then……

Of course, this is a secret that he would never tell anyone, but the puppet with a male body and a female appearance was accidentally forced to reveal its trump card by him and slowly recovered its strength.

At first, the puppet emperor's power had not yet recovered to the foundation-building stage, so Zhou Rui was caught off guard and did not suffer much damage.

But the puppet emperor was particularly furious. Seeing that the situation was not good, he ran all the way into the back garden. Zhou Rui chased him and found the rockery covered by the formation here.

Zhou Rui brought the corpse out from the rockery, and he didn't dare to continue chasing it alone.

Bian He, who sensed the commotion and rushed over, attacked fiercely without saying a word and took down Wang Xiaoxiao, leading to the current situation.

"Junior Sister Wang. What are you looking at me for? I didn't do anything."

Zhou Rui glared at her, looked away, and asked Bian He and Liu Muqing.

"He ran inside. Should we give chase?"
