The ground was in a mess, with various deep pits of several meters or dozens of meters in size scattered all over the area.

Another deep scratch appeared, extending far away in a twisted shape.

At the very center was the largest pit, where everything beneath the ground had been shattered.

"call!"

The sound of whistling air was heard, and three beautiful women with a mortal body rushed here rapidly from the sky.

Seeing this devastated land with no sign of anyone, one of them could no longer control his already anxious expression.

These three people were Bai Ruoyue, An Lang, and Lu Qingmo who came from Heiyun Town.

Flying above the big pit in the middle, Zhou Qing's figure finally appeared, lying on the earth and rocks.

He is definitely not dead.

"Junior brother!"

Bai Ruoyue suddenly fell from the sky, stepped into a deep pit, and quickly ran towards Zhou Qing.

"Are you okay?!"

Bai Ruoyue asked nervously.

Zhou Qing looked a little miserable, his golden clothes were torn and his soul was a little weak, but fortunately he was not seriously injured.

“No big deal.”

Zhou Qing said this, but he didn't want to move at all.

The explosion of the Holy Manifestation's remains is not so easy to resolve.

Fortunately, I was able to refine my own magical weapon and cultivate the Ten Directions Heavenly Light.

The latter is a Yin-Shen Taoist technique, while the former in Zhou Qing's hands can exert power almost as powerful as a divine weapon. It is extremely powerful and helped Zhou Qing a lot.

Combined with other defensive measures, he was able to block the black-robed man's final blow without consuming the second dragon scale.

The man in black robe would never have imagined until his death that Zhou Qing, a day-traveling monk, would actually possess a magical weapon.

Lu Qingmo walked to Zhou Qing, squatted down, took out the healing pill, dissolved the medicinal power, and injected it into Zhou Qing's soul.

After carefully checking Zhou Qing's condition, he finally felt relieved, and then he became angry.

How dangerous is it to kill someone with the Holy Spirit? If Zhou Qing didn't have a powerful trump card, she really couldn't imagine the consequences.

But she did not show her anger. The people here were all her close ones, and she should not let them bear the anger.

Bai Ruoyue asked anxiously, "Where is that saintly monk?"

"Aunt Mo is here. Even if he runs away, we will chase him back!"

Zhou Qing forced a smile, quite proudly, and answered her question.

"I killed him."

Kill the saint during the day tour!

Don’t worry about whether any external objects were used or not, just say whether the person was killed or not.

Bai Ruoyue was astonished, shocked, but also happy. The look in her eyes when she looked at Zhou Qing was colorful and full of emotions.

Killed by Junior Brother...

The warm medicinal power dissolved in Zhou Qing's body, just like spring rain falling on dry land, nourishing his soul, repairing his wounds, and restoring his spiritual strength.

"You did a great job." Lu Qingmo praised him calmly.

So peaceful that it's even a little quiet.

"It was a good choice in the critical moment, and the performance in this battle was also very good."

She then instructed An Lang, "An Lang, go clean up the area."

"good!"

An Lang floated away, and she was relieved that Zhou Qing was fine.

When Zhou Qing endured the explosion of the Holy Manifestation just now, she really had a reaction, a strong feeling of palpitations.

However, Bai Ruoyue and Lu Qingmo, who had merged with the Wings of Heart, didn't feel anything.

Because Zhou Qing’s situation just now had not yet touched the most dangerous line.

"Ruoyue, take good care of Zhou Qing." Lu Qingmo said again: "I'll go check the battlefield."

She wanted to go and see if there were any clues left.

If there is...

No matter who it is, she won't let it go.

After Lu Qingmo left, Bai Ruoyue withdrew her gaze from her back.

Bai Ruoyue whispered, "Junior brother, Aunt Mo is very angry now."

She has been with Lu Qingmo since she was three years old, so she naturally knows him very well.

"Aunt Mo is worried about what happened today."

Zhou Qing could imagine how anxious and frightened Lu Qingmo was on his way here from Heiyun Town.

"I'm angry too."

Zhou Qing narrowed his eyes slightly. He felt that this ambush was premeditated and not sudden.

As he spoke, Zhou Qing's soul returned to his body.

For the soul, the physical body is the most suitable place to rest.

Whether it is healing injuries or relieving fatigue, the physical body can play a beneficial role.

"Junior brother..."

Looking at Zhou Qing, Bai Ruoyue suddenly lowered her head.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you at all."

Zhou Qing was startled and found that Bai Ruoyue's eyes were a little red.

"Senior Sister, you have helped me a lot." Zhou Qing smiled.

"Without you, my physical body would have been destroyed."

If Zhou Qing encountered today's enemy alone, his soul would not be able to leave his body. He would need to wait for the Heavenly Thunder Seal to be activated and severely injure the man in black before he could leave his body and fight the enemy.

In the subsequent process, there is a possibility that the man in black robes will seize the opportunity and destroy the physical body.

Zhou Qing knew that the feeling of powerlessness was not pleasant, especially when the person experiencing it was Bai Ruoyue, who had always been stronger than him and had taken care of him.

After thinking for a while, he reached out and held Bai Ruoyue's hand.

"Big sister, when I was still weak, you didn't think I was a burden, but instead helped me enthusiastically."

"If you say something like this at this time, doesn't it make me look shameless?"

Bai Ruoyue glanced at the hand held by Zhou Qing and her face turned slightly red.

It's really shameless.

Bai Ruoyue suddenly fell into Zhou Qing's arms and said in a muffled voice: "Junior brother, this is the last time."

"If something like this happens again, tell An Lang to run away."

Zhou Qing was safe and sound, and she was completely relieved. After the endless joy, she felt uncomfortable.

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

"Bah!" Zhou Qing said, "What are you talking about? This kind of thing happened once, it's enough. How could it happen again in the future?"

Above, at the edge of the pit, Lu Qingmo had been standing there at some point, looking down at the two people below, motionless.

After a while, Bai Ruoyue left Zhou Qing's arms with an evasive look in her eyes.

"Let's go up first."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Qingmo flew down the deep pit and brought the two of them up.

"Aunt Mo, did you find anything?"

"There is no trace of any force's signature Taoist magic." Lu Qingmo shook his head.

"Let's go back to Black Cloud Town first. On the way, tell me about your fight with the Saintly Monk."

She could roughly guess how Zhou Qing killed the enemy, but she needed a more detailed process.

At this time, An Lang flew over with a few burnt things in his hands.

"Master, Sister Lu, Sister Bai, there is nothing left at the scene, not even a space bag, except for these few things, which seem to be some kind of material."

Zhou Qing shook his head. "That person died by self-detonation. The space bag must have been destroyed."

It has been mentioned before that once space equipment is destroyed, the things inside it cannot be found.

"These things were left behind when he used them to resist the Heavenly Thunder Seal."

Lu Qingmo took it and wiped off the damaged parts on the outside. He knew what it was just by looking at it.

"Let's go back first."

A Taoist flying carpet appeared out of thin air, and the three of them sat on it. An Lang returned to Guiju and flew towards Heiyun Town.

"My senior sister and I captured the murderer that the garrison was pursuing, and on the way back, we met that saintly monk."

"That person knows us very well, knows our identities, and has been watching us from a distance to catch the murderer..."

Zhou Qing slowly told Lu Qingmo about their experiences, and Bai Ruoyue added some comments from time to time.

"Initially, he used a Taoist technique that transformed soil into snakes, and later he also controlled the power of the earth."

"...There is a magic bell on his head, and a life-saving jade pendant..."

"The Arm-Breaking Technique..."

Soon, Zhou Qing explained everything to Lu Qingmo.

She fell into deep thought, and after a while she said, "All the Taoist techniques used by this person are not the ones I know of, and they are not unique to any particular faction."

“Whether it’s the Earth Snake Technique or the Disintegration Technique, you can buy it by going to the higher-level Ten Thousand Stars Chamber of Commerce or the Black and White Building and paying a certain price.”

You can buy it at these two places. Of course, those big forces will have collections, so you can't confirm their identities based on this. "How cunning!" Bai Ruoyue said hatefully.

This was obviously intentional, making it impossible to tell where he came from.

"The life-replacing jade pendant is a life-replacing magical instrument. This type of magical instrument is very magical and can withstand a lot of damage for the practitioner." Lu Qingmo added: "The higher the quality of the life-replacing magical instrument, the more damage it can withstand. The highest-grade ones can even take the place of death once."

"Even if there is a chance to buy this kind of treasure, it is not something a normal Saintly Monk can afford."

"If the force that is trying to harm you is in Black Cloud Town, then right now in Black Cloud, only Zuo Tianzheng and the Saintly Monk of the Tianlong Sect are capable of equipping this kind of magical weapon."

"If it's not the forces in Black Cloud Town, then it could be the evil sects such as the Heavenly Mother Sect and the Impermanence Palace."

Lu Qingmo made a judgment and directly locked onto several targets.

"Zuo Tianzheng brought one person from the Manifestation Realm and one from the Marrow Cleansing Realm. The Tianlong Sect has one person from the Manifestation Realm and two from the Marrow Cleansing Realm." Bai Ruoyue said:

"We'll go check it out after we get back. If one side has fewer Holy Monks, it must be their doing!"

Zhou Qing thought about it and shook his head.

"This is not necessarily accurate. These powers are only the powers they put on the surface. No one knows whether there are any masters hidden among the entourage."

For such a force, it would be very easy for a divine master to sneak into Black Cloud Town without being noticed by others.

After all, Heiyun Town is open and does not have any formations like the county town.

"Zhou Qing is right." Lu Qingmo nodded and suddenly asked another question.

"Ruoyue, tell me again what the tutelary fort said when it entrusted you with the task."

"This morning..."

After listening to this, Lu Qingmo's eyes became somewhat deep.

"Yesterday I discovered the traces of the evil demon. Today I asked you to take action, but you were intercepted by the Holy Manifestation outside..."

"Can you sense water or dragon energy from that holy monk?"

When this question was asked, Zhou Qing's heart moved.

"There is not a trace of water or water-related power."

Lu Qingmo nodded. "In this case, although we cannot rule out the possibility that he deliberately concealed the truth, the suspicion of Tianlongmen is indeed the lowest for the time being."

Most of the cultivators of Tianlongmen practice water-related Taoist martial arts and those related to the dragon clan. Their aura is very different from that of the cultivators on land.

"Zuo Tianzheng... an evil cultivator..."

Lu Qingmo closed his eyes slightly, and Zhou Qing was also thinking seriously about who was more likely.

Anyway, this person definitely could not be a passing saint who had nothing to do with him or Heiyun Town.
