Although everyone except Feng Shao did not participate in the battle against the Shadow of Bifang, just maintaining the Tiancheng formation consumed a lot of true energy. At this time, everyone only felt that their Dantian was empty and they could hardly raise their true energy.

Han Biyun's Qi consumption was also very serious. Although Bifang's attack just now did not hit her, she felt the Qi and blood in her body surging under the influence of the residual power. When she was halfway through the flight, she felt like she was about to vomit blood.

The group finally rushed out of Bifangyuan and quickly adjusted their breathing. Han Biyun felt dizzy and almost fell down as soon as she landed.

Lu Qingyuan quickly supported Han Biyun and asked anxiously, "Senior Sister, how are you?"

Han Biyun barely suppressed the surging blood and energy, and whispered, "It's okay, just take a moment to adjust your breath and you'll be fine. Junior sister, you protect everyone first."

Lu Qingyuan nodded.

However, at this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed by and arrived in front of Han Biyun in an instant. Han Biyun was shocked and subconsciously slapped out a palm. The other party had expected it and also slapped him. With a "bang", Han Biyun was knocked away by the palm. The surging blood and qi could no longer be suppressed, and Han Biyun spit out a mouthful of blood in mid-air.

The man clapped his hands and snatched the red gourd from Han Biyun's hand. Lu Qingyuan also reacted at this time, and couldn't help but get angry. He drew out his long sword and chopped at the other party, shouting: "How dare you, thief!"

The black shadow seemed to not want to fight with Lu Qingyuan, and with a flash, it retreated from Lu Qingyuan's attack range. Without thinking, Lu Qingyuan chased after it and attacked the black shadow again.

The black shadow didn't want to fight any longer, so he turned around and left. Lu Qingyuan was about to chase after him, but when she saw the weak looks of the other brothers and sisters, she didn't know what to do for a moment.

Han Biyun, who was lying on the ground and hadn't sat up yet, shouted, "Junior sister, go and get the things back!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingyuan gritted her teeth and flew after the black shadow on her sword.

The black shadow was naturally Ye Chen.

Since Ye Chen came here to intercept, he certainly couldn't be wearing the sect's attire. When he was tracking everyone, he changed into a black outfit. When he was snatching the red gourd, he covered his face in advance, so everyone didn't realize that the person who robbed it was actually their fellow sect member.

Ye Chen succeeded easily with his deliberate plan. As for Han Biyun's injury, he didn't care. But Ye Chen was unwilling to compete with Lu Qingyuan. The main reason was that Lu Qingyuan was outstanding in appearance, so Ye Chen had a different idea about this third sister from the beginning.

He couldn't bear to hurt Lu Qingyuan.

But because of this, when Lu Qingyuan caught up with him, Ye Chen felt a headache.

In terms of realm, although Ye Chen and Lu Qingyuan are both in the innate realm, the realm of the son of luck is different from that of ordinary people. The realm of others is a realm, and the realm of the son of luck is just a cover. If he really fights Lu Qingyuan, Ye Chen has 100% confidence in winning. But in this way, it will be difficult for him to hide his own way, and the other party will definitely discover his identity.

But if he chose to run, he couldn't outrun Lu Qingyuan. He only had a "Red Dragon Sword" on hand. This sword was powerful and had a cool shape. Ye Chen was proud of it. But now, a problem arose.

This sword is so recognizable! If Ye Chen reveals his cultivation, Lu Qingyuan can only guess that he is a traitor; but if he takes out the "Red Dragon Sword", Lu Qingyuan will be able to recognize him as Ye Chen 100%!

So Ye Chen can’t fly with the sword now!

One can only rely on footwork, and the other can fly with a sword. How can Ye Chen escape?

If Lu Qingyuan hadn't also consumed a huge amount of true energy, she would have caught up in an instant!

"Thief, put the things down!" After chasing for more than ten miles, Lu Qingyuan finally caught up with the other party and slashed down with a sword without saying a word. Ye Chen dodged again and was about to change direction to continue running, but Lu Qingyuan rushed forward and attacked, forcing Ye Chen to defend himself.

This Bifang Flame was brought out by many fellow disciples who risked their lives with all their efforts. Of course, Lu Qingyuan would not allow the other party to take the Bifang Flame away. Lu Qingyuan used all her strength at the beginning, and had almost no protection for herself. Ye Chen was in a panic under Lu Qingyuan's attack and tried his best to resist. He was almost cut down by Lu Qingyuan several times. But looking at Lu Qingyuan's beautiful face, Ye Chen couldn't do it.

After the fight, Lu Qingyuan realized that the other party didn't seem to want to hurt her. She was confused and couldn't help but ask, "Who are you? Why don't you dare to show your true face?"

Ye Chen snorted coldly, and without saying anything, he slapped Lu Qingyuan with one palm. He already knew that if he wanted to get away, he had to subdue Lu Qingyuan first.

However, one was empty-handed, while the other was holding a sharp blade; one was tied up, while the other was giving it his all. Although Lu Qingyuan was inferior in strength, how could Ye Chen resist in this situation?

Sure enough, not long after, Ye Chen was unable to dodge and was slashed on the arm by Lu Qingyuan's sword. If Ye Chen hadn't reacted quickly, his entire arm would have been chopped off.

Seeing Lu Qingyuan coming down with another sword, Ye Chen had no choice but to take out the Red Dragon Sword from his storage ring and swing the sword to block.

when!

A crisp sound of swords colliding was heard, and Lu Qingyuan's face changed drastically: "Red Dragon Sword? You..."

Before Lu Qingyuan could finish, Ye Chen launched a fierce attack while laughing: "What Red Dragon Sword? This is my bloodthirsty sword! Little girl, there is a road to heaven but you don't take it, there is no door to hell but you break in! Since you insist on seeking death, I can only send you on your way!"

At this time, Ye Chen could only use this method to conceal his identity, hoping that Lu Qingyuan's eyesight was not that good and that he could be easily fooled.

Lu Qingyuan was forced to retreat repeatedly by Ye Chen's rapid attack, and was about to be killed by Ye Chen. But at this moment, Ye Chen suddenly stopped and pretended to be unwilling: "Damn it, I have to go! Little girl, you are lucky this time!"

After saying this, Ye Chen flew up on his sword and disappeared without a trace in an instant. However, Lu Qingyuan looked at his back from a distance with an expression of disbelief on her face.

——————————

After losing the flame of Bifang, the shadow of Bifang gradually dissipated soon. After a tough fight with the shadow of Bifang, Feng Shao's face turned pale, his whole body was covered with burns, and his clothes were burned to tatters. He looked more like a beggar than a saint.

Although he was in a very bad state, Feng Shao was very excited. After obtaining the Bifang Flame, Taiwei Sect could have its own alchemy pavilion and foundry, and Taiwei Sect disciples could also obtain better quality pills and sharper magic weapons.

After a short rest, Feng Shao chased after everyone in the direction they left. But when he saw Han Biyun lying on the ground in a state of exhaustion, his face changed drastically.

"Junior Sister Han, what's wrong with you? What happened here just now?" Feng Shao asked anxiously.

Han Biyun forced herself to sit up, her face showing sorrow: "Brother Feng, I have betrayed your trust! The Bifang Flame... was stolen by a thief!"

"What?!" Feng Shao was shocked. He quickly stood up and looked around. Seeing that the other fellow disciples were not injured, he felt relieved. But then, he found that Lu Qingyuan was not here.

Before he could ask, a disciple said, "Brother Shengzi, Junior Sister Lu went after the thief! She's heading in that direction!"

Feng Shao nodded, his tone grim: "Take good care of Junior Sister Han, I'll go after that thief!"

Before he finished speaking, he drew his sword and flew into the air.

Not long after flying, Feng Shao spotted Lu Qingyuan. He quickly landed on the ground and was about to ask Lu Qingyuan where the thief had gone, but he saw that Lu Qingyuan actually had a distraught expression.

"Junior Sister Lu? Junior Sister Lu!"

Lu Qingyuan came back to her senses when she heard Feng Shao's call. She hurriedly saluted Feng Shao, but Feng Shao waved his hand and said, "Junior Sister Lu, there is no need to be polite. Tell me where the thief went first."

"This..." Lu Qingyuan's face flashed with hesitation, and then he pointed in a direction and said, "Go in that direction!"

Lu Qingyuan didn't know that Feng Shao had already noticed the difference in her expression. Feng Shao had been in charge of Taiwei Sect for so many years, so he was a very thoughtful person. He immediately realized that something was wrong with Lu Qingyuan. Thinking of the thief who stole the Bifang Flame, Feng Shao had a bold guess in his mind.

Could this thief be someone Lu Qingyuan knows?

Thinking of this, Feng Shao asked calmly: "Junior Sister Lu, what is the villain's trick? Have you figured it out?"

Lu Qingyuan showed hesitation and struggle on her face. After a while, she shook her head and said, "I... Junior Sister didn't see the other party's trick."

"What are the characteristics of that thief?" Feng Shao asked again.

Lu Qingyuan answered very straightforwardly this time: "The man was wearing black clothes, had his face covered, called himself 'old man', and used a weapon called 'Bloodthirsty Sword'. He might... might be a famous monk..."

Feng Shao's face suddenly turned gloomy.

What a mess! Since he was wearing black clothes and covering his face, it was obvious that he didn't want others to know his identity, so how could he openly say the name of the weapon? How could someone as kind as Lu Qingyuan not notice such an obvious loophole?

As for the "bloodthirsty sword", Feng Shao could guess it. It must be a magical weapon with very obvious characteristics. Combined with the word "blood", the characteristics of this sword are simply obvious!

What the villain was holding was actually the Blood-Refined Sword!

Looking at Lu Qingyuan's expression of hesitation and struggle, could Feng Shao still not guess the identity of the thief?

At this moment, Feng Shao felt a strong murderous intent surge in his heart for the first time.
