If one's spiritual sense is strong, even if the illusion cast by Liu Yunqing, who is at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, cannot be broken free from by the Fu surname cultivator for the time being, it should not appear so powerless to resist.

But if their spiritual senses are weak, how can they create so many clones from one person at the Golden Core stage?

Furthermore, each clone is a physical entity, not a phantom.

Liu Yunqing couldn't figure out the problem for the time being, but that didn't stop her from targeting the other party's weaknesses.

He dodged another wave of attacks, and seeing that the people were preparing to form a battle formation, Liu Yunqing did not hesitate any longer. After a soft laugh, his figure disappeared in front of them in an instant.

Those formations composed of split individuals might have some kind of beneficial effect.

This time, they only paused for a very short time before successfully locating Liu Yunqing's position.

But with just that one breath, Liu Yunqing's divine sense concentrated and enveloped one of them.

Then, in the next instant, the person stood motionless with dazed eyes and a blank expression.

The next instant, a slender, golden-red arrow silently pierced through his brow.

This is certainly not the end.

As the first person fell, a burning sensation was already present on the second person's forehead.

The remaining people were on high alert, but to no avail.

The formation, which had not yet been successfully set up, was broken up again by Liu Yunqing's move, and it was not just the formation that was broken up.

And the hearts of those people.

"Fellow Daoist, our meeting is fate, there's no need for constant fighting."

"There's a saying in mainland China, 'Leave a way out for others, so you can meet again in the future.' We've already decided to give up on Hongzhu, so why are you being so aggressive?"

Seeing the fear on the faces of those people after he killed the two, and their posture of preparing to leave, Liu Yunqing's hands kept moving.

While locking onto the target with his divine sense, he also raised his hand and shot an arrow, showing no intention of stopping to engage in verbal sparring.

The more certain victory is, the more likely insignificant actions are to backfire; Liu Yunqing didn't listen to a single word they said.

Liu Yunqing had a feeling that they must have other tricks up their sleeves, otherwise, if they were so easily killed by her, they probably wouldn't have been able to come to the mainland from the outer sea.

As it turned out, Liu Yunqing's covert precautions were a very wise move.

As the fight progressed, even the most idiotic among them realized that Liu Yunqing had found their weakness, so they simply withdrew their clones.

At the same time, several of the figures vanished completely into thin air, without being noticed at all.

Even though Liu Yunqing had a spatial ability, he didn't discover anything amiss.

"What amazing invisibility!"

That makes sense. People who are good at hiding can live a long time even if they are not very strong. It seems that there is indeed no problem with that.

Liu Yunqing could only sense that there were eyes watching her intently from the shadows, but she couldn't pinpoint who it was.

"Are you hiding and refusing to come out?"

Liu Yunqing tried to increase her speed to the maximum, but still couldn't shake off or catch her opponent. After thinking deeply, she stopped.

"What if we do this? You still won't come out?"

Liu Yunqing reached out and made a choking motion, and the dying Fu surname cultivator appeared out of thin air, with Liu Yunqing's hand right on the other's neck.

"Senior Brother!"

A startled cry came from the shadows, and Liu Yunqing's arrow shot towards the source of the sound faster than her eyes could see.

"puff--"

The sound of vomiting blood rang out, and Liu Yunqing swiftly released countless arrows once again.

Some shots hit their mark, while others missed.

Overall, it's a great deal.

The remaining ones posed no threat to Liu Yunqing, so she paid them no mind. With a gentle clench of her hand covered in fire spiritual power, a "crack" was heard, and the head of the cultivator surnamed Fu slumped to the side.

Then, he threw a fireball, and the corpse turned to ashes in an instant, except for the storage items on the person's body.

With this move, even the hidden, hateful spying disappeared. Liu Yunqing somewhat regretted that she had killed the effeminate man too decisively.

Fortunately, those people did not disappoint Liu Yunqing.

Just as Liu Yunqing gave up the search and spread her wings again to fly towards her destination, several voices suddenly rang in her ears:

"I'll kill you!"

"Go to hell!"

"A net stretching to the heavens and the earth!!!"

In an instant, the wind and clouds changed from flat ground to calm.

Liu Yunqing felt the sky darken and an incomparably powerful force rush towards her body.

The sounds echoed and rushed toward her from all directions.

Liu Yunqing's heart tightened, but she quickly regained her composure and relaxed. The arrows she had prepared were scattered like petals from a fairy maiden towards every place where the sound came from.

The number of screams that came from within told Liu Yunqing that they had split up again.

However, the insufficient number of screams also made Liu Yunqing realize that there were still some who had slipped through the net.

"burst!!!"

"BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!"

"Bang bang bang—!!!"

This time, the remaining fugitives didn't even need Liu Yunqing to guess where they went; they just jumped out on their own—and then self-destructed.

Caught off guard, Liu Yunqing flew into the sky with all her might the moment the explosion rang out, and instantly layered her spiritual energy shield around herself.

"Boom boom boom—"

Unfortunately, even so, Liu Yunqing was still thrown a long way.

Fortunately, the injury only affected the body and did not damage the internal organs or the foundation of cultivation. The red healing mist in the space was drawn and circulated on the body, and the wounds disappeared without a trace.

Feeling the pain in her body, Liu Yunqing noticed that the feeling of hatred and prying eyes around her had also disappeared.

A huge crater appeared where I had been standing, containing enemies blown to pieces.

The commotion here is too great; Liu Yunqing shouldn't stay too long.

With a flick of his wrist, Liu Yunqing collected the intact storage items from those people before turning and disappearing.

Sure enough, less than half a cup of tea's time after Liu Yunqing soared into the sky, people had already rushed over from all directions to the place where he had made a commotion.

Liu Yunqing didn't care about any of that.

Having dealt with the person with malicious intent, Liu Yunqing was in high spirits and plunged into the Luoxia Mountains to begin his deep-mountain rescue operation.

...

Two days later, Liu Yunqing's good mood was completely worn away.

What was thought to be a simple search for someone deep in the mountains turned out to be no easier than finding a needle in a haystack.

No wonder that news item was so cheap; you get what you pay for.

Looking at the endless Luoxia Mountain Range, Liu Yunqing felt that he couldn't just keep going like this and had to think of a way to get the two of them to come closer.

But what would be attractive enough to lure the two evil spirits into a trap?

Liu Yunqing didn't think for long before an idea popped into his head.

"Is it... Senior Zhenru?"

Just as Liu Yunqing was worrying about who to ask to help spread the news, he heard a familiar voice coming from the side.
