Most importantly, the Flying Swallow that was being chased and intercepted was none other than Bai Muxue's Flying Swallow!

Although the flying swallows look largely the same, a closer look reveals slight differences in the color and pattern of the feathers on their necks and the edges of their wings.

Bai Muxue's flying swallow had a distinctive feature: dark gold patterns on its neck that formed a crooked heart shape. Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan remembered it clearly.

Bai Muxue is now missing, but the Flying Swallow she rode is here and being chased by these strong men. What exactly is going on?

Could it be that Bai Muxue has been murdered?

Sun Muqing immediately shouted, "Stop!"

Jiang Lingxuan flew over directly, and with a wave of her hand, she stirred up a gust of wind that sent several burly men who had chased after the flying swallow flying backward.

However, Jiang Lingxuan did not hit too hard.

They don't know who these burly men are yet, so of course they won't beat them up badly the moment they meet.

Those burly men were merely blown away by the wind; they jumped up quickly after landing on the ground.

"You're the ones who injured this Flying Swallow? Why did you hunt it?" Sun Muqing asked with a frown, releasing the aura of a True Yuan Realm martial artist.

An overwhelming aura immediately spread out, making it difficult for the burly men to breathe.

These burly men were all ashen-faced, and their legs were trembling.

"Fairy Sister, spare me... Fairy Sister, spare me..."

"We don't know why this monster was injured. When we encountered it, it was already injured and unable to fly, which is why we hunted it..."

"All we want is some meat to eat. Is eating meat wrong?"

Sun Muqing was speechless for a moment, and his aura immediately subsided.

Jiang Lingxuan said in a low voice, "I think these people might be natives from Qianlinchuan."

"Indigenous?" Sun Muqing looked at Jiang Lingxuan curiously.

"They are the locals living in Qianlinchuan... Look at them, so rustic and unsophisticated, what else could they be but country bumpkins? They probably don't have any martial arts tradition here, which is why their strength is so low and weak, and they call us fairy sisters when they see how powerful we are."

"If they have a complete martial arts lineage here and know the various realms of martial artists, how could they be so ignorant?"

Jiang Lingxuan explained with a smile.

Sun Muqing thought about it and felt that Jiang Lingxuan's words made sense.

Meanwhile, the flying swallow stumbled and ran up to Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing, flapping its wings and making cooing sounds.

Jiang Lingxuan touched the head of the flying swallow, then stepped forward and grabbed its wings to examine it.

"The bone in its wing is broken. It must have hit something while flying, which is why it broke," Jiang Lingxuan said.

“Since this flying swallow has appeared here, then Bai Muxue should also be nearby?” Sun Muqing thought for a moment and said.

"Maybe, but I think we should take care of ourselves first," Jiang Lingxuan said.

Sun Muqing took out a communication talisman and said, "At least send her a communication talisman to contact her. It won't take too much time anyway."

As he spoke, Sun Muqing sent out the communication talisman in his hand.

However, after the communication talisman transformed into a golden light and flew out, it did not go far away, but instead hovered around Sun Muqing, looking like a headless fly that was moving extremely fast.

Seeing this, Sun Muqing frowned.

"The communication talisman can't fly out? Is there some kind of restriction around here?" Sun Muqing muttered to himself.

"Try sending a message talisman to Night Wind!" Jiang Lingxuan said quickly, having just thought of something.

"Um."

Sun Muqing quickly took out another communication talisman and sent it out.

However, this message talisman flew around like a headless fly, unable to get away.

After a while, the true energy on the communication talisman was exhausted, and it turned back into two dim spirit talismans that floated down from the sky and landed on the ground without moving.

Sun Muqing picked up both communication talismans and put them into her storage ring, her expression turning extremely ugly.

Night Breeze was their greatest support, but now they couldn't contact Night Breeze.

This is really bad!

"It seems that Qianlinchuan, this mysterious place, is essentially a secret realm. Moreover, Qianlinchuan not only isolates the inside from the outside, preventing people inside from communicating with each other, but even people who are in Qianlinchuan together cannot contact each other using communication talismans," Jiang Lingxuan said slowly.

"So what do we do next?" Sun Muqing asked.

"I don't know either..." Jiang Lingxuan shrugged and shook her head helplessly.

Just then, the burly man leading the group cautiously asked, "Two fairy ladies, may we leave now?"

“No!” Sun Muqing refused without hesitation.

The burly man immediately turned pale with fright, and the other burly men also turned pale with fright.

Seeing that these people were frightened by her, Sun Muqing softened her tone and said, "Don't worry, we won't hurt you. We just want to ask a few questions."

"Fairy Sister, please ask me anything, I'll answer everything I know!" The burly man in the lead breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said.

Sun Muqing then asked, "Where is this?"

"Where else could this be? This is the mountain."

Dashan... that's such a casual name.

"What I mean is, where in Qianlinchuan is this?" Sun Muqing asked patiently.

"What Qianlinchuan? I've never heard of it. All I know is that the area outside the village is all mountains. Our ancestors have lived in the village for generations, making a living by growing crops and hunting..." the burly man began to speak at length.

"Where is your village? You should know that, right?" Sun Muqing asked again.

The burly man immediately raised his hand and pointed into the distance, saying, "It's over there. Follow this direction for twenty li, and you'll reach our village."

"What's the name of your village? How many people live there?" Sun Muqing then asked.

"A village is just a village, what else can it be called? As for how many people there are... I'm not the clan chief, so I don't know, but there should be at least five hundred people," the burly man replied.

"Who is the most powerful person in your village? How strong are they?" Sun Muqing continued to ask.

The burly man immediately looked proud and patted his chest, saying, "Is that even a question? The most powerful person in our village is of course me! Because I am the most powerful, I am the captain of our village's hunting team, and I lead the hunting team out to hunt and get some meat for the people of our village."

Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan were completely relieved.

This burly man was only at the late stage of the Qi Movement Realm, yet he was the most powerful person in that village.
