In fact, Lu Changan can understand.

Except for him, Xia Mingqu and others are not in the late stage of foundation building, and they do not have the strength to crush Yu Qin who is in the middle stage of cultivation.

Yu Qin is an abandoned disciple of the sect and is by no means a weakling.

In true one-on-one, Xia Mingqu may not be able to defeat him, regardless of his trump card.

"Master Lu Fu..."

Xia Shenglan hesitated for a moment and looked unwillingly, looking in the direction where Yu Qin was escaping.

Lu Changan immediately understood her intention.

Although Yu Qin escaped, the magical weapon was damaged and the life-saving talisman was consumed.

As Lu Changan is in the later stage of foundation building, if he chases him out, he has a good chance of being captured.

However, Lu Changan did not say anything and pretended not to understand.

He became a worshiper of the Xia clan mainly because of his secondary profession of Talisman Master. According to the previous agreement, he had no obligation to go out and fight.

Being able to help defend the tribe's land has already fulfilled one's obligations.

What's more, Lu Changan has already made arrangements for Yu Qin's fate.

"Sister Sheng Lan, don't embarrass Master Lu Fu! There may be someone cooperating with Yu Qin for this operation. If he rushes after her, if she is ambushed..."

Xia Mingqu looked solemn and blocked the way.

"I didn't think carefully and was blinded by hatred."

Xia Shenglan woke up and said.

"Yu Qin alone is nothing to be afraid of. We saw through the Crescent Chamber of Commerce's tricks and saved the family from heavy losses. It is not without gain."

Xia Mingqu regained his composure and comforted him.

Xia Shenglan nodded, glanced at Xia Mingqu, who felt lost, and couldn't help but think deeply.

She saw that Xia Mingqu did not have strong killing intent, and she did not agree to pursue him out of caution.

After all, we once fell in love.

Yu Qin did not cause serious consequences, and Xia Mingqu left the other party with a glimmer of hope after cutting off his thoughts.

…

Qingshawan, a hundred miles away in the mountains and forests.

A slim female cultivator in a pink dress leaned against a towering tree, panting, with beads of sweat oozing out from her forehead.

"Fortunately, Lu Changan has no fighting spirit. The nickname of Turtle Talisman Master is well-deserved. I knew that he would not attack with all his strength..."

Yu Qin felt lingering fear and breathed a sigh of relief.

She broke out and fought her way out, paying a heavy price and consuming most of her mana.

If Lu Changan, who was in the late stage of foundation building, were to pursue him, he would definitely die.

After escaping, she still had a glimmer of pride in her wisdom. After all, she escaped unscathed from the four Foundation Builders who were chasing Xia Quan.

Yu Qin's pretty face showed a slight smile, thinking about how to communicate.

Suddenly, she felt the soil beneath her feet loosen.

Click!

The next moment, Yu Qin's slender legs under her pink skirt froze and were bitten off by a bloody mouth with sharp fangs.

"Oh no--"

Yu Qin's face was bloodless, her body was cold, her mana and blood were coagulated, and she was enveloped by a terrifying demonic power.

Completely unable to move.

In despair and pain, she only had a trace of clear consciousness left.

From bottom to top, its beautiful body looked like a long white lotus root, which was completely swallowed up by the bloody mouth with a few crunching sounds.

On the ground, Yu Qin's figure no longer existed.

Instead, there was a giant rat demon with a length of two feet, a strong body, and orange hair.

call!

The giant rat demon opened its mouth and sucked in, and the flying sand rolled up, swallowing up the blood and all kinds of residual breath in the place.

"The master has told me not to leave any traces at the scene. It's very simple, I just need to swallow her."

The giant rat demon shrank in size and soon turned into the size of a native dog, muttering to himself.

After hesitating for a moment, it opened its mouth and spit out a storage bag.

Take out a bunch of spiritual stones and several spiritual fruit medicines from the storage bag.

The rock rat chewed greedily, and there was a crunching sound.

After a delicious meal, it looked like it had enjoyed itself for a long time.

Then, reluctantly, it put away more than half of the remaining loot.

There was a flash of earthy yellow light, and the rock rat escaped underground.

…

Just a moment after the rock rat disappeared, a low-altitude flying sound was heard from the other side of the mountain forest.

Not long after, a majestic man with a beard floated in the air near the place where Yu Qin died.

"Strange, the Xia family's clan protection formation was activated, and she successfully broke through and escaped. According to the agreement, she should be here..."

The big man with the beard frowned, and with his spiritual consciousness at the peak of Foundation Establishment, he scanned the nearby area.

The bearded man named Coulson is the vice president of the Crescent Chamber of Commerce and is responsible for coordinating Yu Qin's action.

Although Coulson is the vice president, he does not manage the business of the Chamber of Commerce and is mainly responsible for the bodyguard organization. He has outstanding military strength and is among the top strong men during the foundation building period.

Fang Zhong, a fugitive from the sect who signed a contract with the Liang Kingdom, could not survive ten breaths in front of Coulson, although he was also in the late stage of foundation building.

A few years ago, Fang Zhong failed once near Qingshawan, and Coulson was very disappointed with him.

This plan was of great importance. In order to keep it secret, Coulson personally took action and did not tell other subordinates.

Coulson searched nearby for a long time, but could not find any trace of Yu Qin's breath.

He had a bad feeling and was about to turn around and leave.

At this moment, the ground shook.

laugh!

A ferocious and huge dark rock thorn turned into an afterimage and suddenly pierced Coulson in mid-air.

"not good!"

Coulson's heart was throbbing, his scalp was numb, and he felt an unspeakable horror.

He has experienced hundreds of battles and has keen intuition. The moment he pierced the earth in the dark rock ground, his magic power surged.

Whoosh!

The figure dragged the sound of wind and electric arcs, and Coulson moved six or seven feet laterally, barely dodging the frontal attack of the Dark Rock Spike.

Coulson, who had stabilized his figure, looked pale and his body was bloody.

His entire right shoulder, including half of his torso, seemed to have been cut off out of thin air, with blood splattering everywhere.

Just now, the thorn was so fast that even if he dodged immediately, it still hit his shoulder.

As a result, the protective shield at the peak of Foundation Establishment was instantly shattered, and almost half of his life was lost.

"...Third-order great demon!"

Coulson had no chance to breathe at all, and looked at a rat demon emerging from the earthy yellow halo on the ground with a look of despair.

Although the rat demon is only the size of a native dog, the spiritual pressure it emits is comparable to that of a human True Alchemy monk.

"The majestic real elixir demon unexpectedly attacked..."

Coulson was horrified and smiled bitterly, knowing that he was completely trapped here today.

If he were in his prime state, he could still survive for a while when faced with the fake elixir real person, and he might even have a chance to escape.

At this moment, the seriously injured body is in a desperate situation facing the third-level monster.

He waved with difficulty, presented the prototype of the magic weapon, and took out the life-saving third-level talisman.

At this moment, only an afterimage of the rock rat was left on the ground.

Poof!

Coulson froze and looked at the sharp claws that penetrated his chest from behind.

"Master said that if you can succeed in a secret attack, you will never fight head-on."
