In desperation, the Evil War Department sought help from Qixiufang, the righteous sect in Yangzhou.

As a famous and upright school, Qixiufang, who is the righteous path of Yangzhou, is naturally responsible for maintaining the peace of Yangzhou martial arts world.

Therefore, Qixiufang sent his disciples to assist the Evil War Department in the investigation.

This matter should have been handled by Leng Qingqiu, who was specifically responsible for external affairs in Qixiufang, but because she was at an important juncture of breakthrough in internal strength, other disciples were sent to take charge.

After nearly a month of follow-up investigation, last month, Qixiu's disciples finally found clues.

A water bandit village originally located on the Yangtze River - Wuyan Village, was actually empty. In such a huge village, there were only some old, weak, sick and disabled people supporting the empty shell.

Although the status of Wuyan Village in the world is far from comparable to that of Qixiufang, it is also a strong green forest force. Such changes are naturally extraordinary.

What's more, the investigation found that the initial abnormality occurred in Wuyan Village was exactly one year ago, which coincided with the time when the disappearance of the herbicide was started.

As the investigation deepened, things made greater progress. Qixiu disciples have locked the new stronghold in Wuyanzhai in the southern part of Qifeng Mountain. Although the exact location of the stronghold has not been found, several herbalists who were forced to collect spiritual medicines by Wuyanzhai have been rescued around them.

I thought this was another ordinary incident in the world, so I just waited to find the location of Wuyan Village, rescue all the herbalists, and then give Wuyan Village a painful lesson. This matter ends here.

This is the usual practice of Qixiufang in handling domestic rivers and lakes.

After all, as a famous and upright sect, he is full of women, and he cannot do the ruthlessness of killing everyone at any time.

But things suddenly changed a few days ago. The disciples of Qixiu, who were in charge of the incident investigation, disappeared one after another. Until the day before yesterday, five Qixiu masters had lost their news.

The two swords fought, and a trace of sword energy rose from the blade and circled around the two swords.

"go!"

The sword energy dispersed with a bang, but there was no clear target of attack, but it contained the intent of the sword floating in the air.

Leng Qingqiu concentrated on his mind and sensed. In addition to being affected by his own internal force, the sword energy floating in the air had another faint source of influence more than ten feet to the left.

"It's the mark left by Junior Sister Qi!"

Leng Qingqiu's eyes were delighted and he instantly crossed a distance of more than ten feet to a big tree.

Waving your palms to clear the fallen leaves piled up under the tree, you can see a complex imprint symbol depicting a hidden location at the roots of the big tree.

The unique sword intent of Qixiufang is left on the mark, which can only be sensed by internal skills practitioners with the same roots and roots.

"Be careful, dangerous, fraud!"

"There is a fraud..." Leng Qingqiu silently repeated the information revealed in the mark, with sharp eyes.

"These bandits from Wuyan Village are indeed coming for Xiufang!"

Among the five missing senior sisters, each has at least a second-rate late-stage cultivation level. Junior Sister Qi has the highest cultivation level and has reached the peak of the second-rate level. Only the leader of the Wuyan Village can win steadily.

But even if Pang Huwen wants to easily defeat Junior Sister Qi, it is impossible without a fierce battle.

From the sword intent of Junior Sister Qi left here, we can see that she had a fight with someone here a few days ago, but the battle did not last long and ended quickly, and the surrounding environment did not even have much damage.

This situation can only show that the strength gap between the two sides is too large, one side is completely suppressed by the other side, and the battle will be decided within a short time of the beginning.

Coupled with the imprint information left by Junior Sister Qi, it is enough to prove that Junior Sister Qi has fallen into the opponent.

"At being able to subdue Junior Sister Qi in such a short time, at least one must have first-class later cultivation. There is absolutely no such master in Wuyan Village!"

Leng Qingqiu remembered the words of the master before leaving the door, "Are they really coming for that matter? Wuyan Village is just a guise of being introduced?"

Leng Qingqiu gritted her teeth and her anger surged.

Several senior sisters disappeared, and their lives and deaths were uncertain. This was a loss that Qixiufang had never experienced before.

"It's a pity that because of that incident, the master and several uncles were all in a clone. Otherwise, as long as one uncle took action, the little Wuyan Village would wave to destroy it."

Now that things have come to this point, no matter how angry you are in your heart, it will be useless.

Leng Qingqiu calmed down and continued to track down. Because of the existence of an unknown powerful enemy, his body was more cautious.

...

Liu Yin carefully held the root of the plantain with one hand and dug out the soil at the root of the plantain with the other hand.

There are many roots and stems in plants. After they evolve into elixirs, a large amount of roots are needed to draw nutrients from the earth to promote growth.

The medicinal herbs are different from ordinary medicinal herbs. They no longer distinguish between roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruits in terms of medicinal properties. Once the medicinal herbs evolve into a medicinal herb, it will be a complete whole.

Every damage may lead to the leakage of spiritual energy in the spiritual medicine, loss of medicinal properties, and turning into dead grass.

Liu Yin focused on pulling out the thin followers of the plantain from the soil. With his super perception, no matter how thin the root system is, as long as there is spiritual fluctuation, he cannot escape Liu Yin's eyes.

The hundreds of root systems were pulled out of the soil intact by Liu Yin in just one cup of tea.

Only the only main root is left.

Liu Yin smiled slightly on his face. He has not gained nothing in the past year. At least he can concentrate on collecting herbs while being safe, but his herbs have made great progress.

Although the remaining main root is the most important part of the spiritual medicine, once it is damaged, no matter how powerful the herbicide collector is, he cannot save the spiritual medicine. However, as a senior herbicide collector, Liu Yin naturally would not make any mistakes in this large root system.

Soon the whole plant of spiritual medicine appeared in Liu Yin's hands.

Before the spiritual medicine was unearthed, the spiritual charm was hidden inside, and there was almost no difference from ordinary herbs. After it was unearthed, the spiritual energy was no longer absorbed and the spiritual charm was revealed, and the surface showed a crystal clear appearance.

Before Liu Yin could enjoy the joy of harvest, the spiritual medicine in his hand was brutally snatched away by one hand.

"Plancao, twenty silver, not bad..." The one who snatched the elixir was a man with a thin face, with a dull expression on his face, looking like a dull and honest person, but when he opened his mouth, he unconsciously showed a little sinister,

"Stay looking for it quickly, don't fucking it..."

Liu Yin dared not speak out, and did not even dare to show his angry expression. He agreed timidly and continued to search forward.

The long-faced man handed the spiritual medicine to another companion, and the other person put the spiritual medicine on his back.

Seeing Liu Yin walking far ahead, he couldn't hear the two of them talking. The long-faced man whispered to his companion who had almost no words along the way, "Hou San, why do I feel like we are not making meritorious contributions? Although it is hard to run around the mountain, if the collected spiritual medicine really makes us take half of it, in just this day's effort, each of us can divide two or three golds!"

"Hey!" Hou San glanced at Ma Cai coldly, and said with a sneer, "I love money so much and don't dare to have this idea. You are so heartless!"

"What the hell is going on?" Ma Cai was actually a little confused. He had already violated the rules of the village. How could the village not be punished but instead give benefits? He heard Hou San's sarcasm and asked, "Has Zhu Liu been dealt with by the rules of the village and beaten fifty sticks? At most, we two are accomplices. Will the situation be even more serious?"

"Hehe! You also know that the reason why Zhu Liu was asked to go to the grocery store and we two went to complete the village's mission was because he had some relatives with Leader Luo. Even if he was discovered by the village in the end, he would not be punished too much. Now he was beaten so hard that he couldn't get up. Do you think we two could have a good time?"

"Then..." Ma Cai's face turned pale, and his already dull face was like wood. "Is there any other statement about the task of supervising the herbalist this time?... The brothers in the village have also taken this task many times over the past year."

"Did they have money to get it before?"

"Then...none."

"Hmph! If I guess well, this may be the money for us to buy our lives. If you have good luck, everything will be safe. If you have bad luck, you will have to spend money even if you have good luck... If you can, I would rather be the person lying in bed now."

Hou San looked lonely and felt quite despair. He shouldn't have been greedy that day and encouraged Zhu Liu to go to the grocery store.

The little shopkeeper of the grocery store is also mentally ill. He has such great martial arts skills at a young age and does not go to the world, but stays in a small town. Isn’t this cheating you, the Marquis?

"Did you get any news?"

"I just found out that when we came out to perform the mission, five waves of brothers took this mission. Fifteen people, only six were alive..."

"Ah..." Ma Cai was shocked. Although he didn't speak very much and looked calm, he was just like this. In fact, he felt much more fragile than Hou San who was jumping.

"Then...what should I do?"

"What else can I do? What should I do, it depends on God whether I live or die..."

After Hou San finished speaking, he ignored Ma Cai and quickly caught up with Liu Yin in front of him.

Ma Cai's face was sometimes blue and sometimes white, and he kept changing. After a long time, he sighed helplessly.

Just as Hou San said, what else can you do besides accepting your fate? But two third-rate little fish, how high do you want to jump...

Worry, regret, fear, and fear were intertwined, making Ma Cai's already sensitive and fragile heart so depressed that he looked around and felt that the unknown danger would jump out of the dark woods around him.

He ran two steps and followed Hou San, trying to ask him for some confidence but didn't know what to say.

I looked up and saw Liu Yin looking around in front of me, looking around for the elixir. I kicked it up.

"It's so hard to be dazed! It's going to be dark without looking at it. Hurry up and find a few more plants and I'll go back."

Then he kicked him a few more times.

Hou San raised his hand and wanted to stop him, but let him go again. He was too lazy to say anything, let him go!

If you are not lucky, it is not certain whether the two of you can see the sun tomorrow, and you still care about his task of collecting spiritual medicines.

"Hey! Do you still dare to glare at me?"

Ma Cai was stunned and pulled out the steel knife and slashed towards Liu Yin.

Hou San was shocked. If Ma Cai really killed Liu Yin, he would have missed the matter in the village. Even if the two of them could go back safely, they would probably not end up in a good way.

He quickly flew to rescue him.

A "lost" sound.

A pink stream of light flashed through Ma Cai's neck, and flew back several feet, falling into the bushes without any movement.

“One…first class!”
