After hearing Qin Ziling's words, Zhou Shaobai felt a stern, and the thoughts in his heart were swept away. His eyes were like lightning, and through the gaps of the vines, he stared at the lotus pond tightly with the silver moonlight.

Outside the lotus pond, a man dressed in black was standing next to the dead flower-picking thief.

Everything was as Qin Ziling expected. Zhou Shaobai admired this girl very much, and thought of her recklessness, and couldn't help but feel ashamed.

My knowledge is not as good as a young girl, and I want to go to the sword world. Thinking of this festival, Zhou Shaobai couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

At this time, the man in black circled around the corpse for a few times, squatted down, and began to search for the corpse.

It was indeed for the "Ten Essences of Taoist Art", Zhou Shaobai thought to himself.

There was an itchy feeling from the ears. Qin Ziling pressed her lips against Zhou Shaobai's ears and whispered like a mosquito: "It's true as I expected."

After all, he was a girl. He completely forgot that the two of them were in danger at this time, and they were very proud in their words.

Zhou Shaobai's auricles met Qin Ziling's cherry lips, and the girl's whispering slightly hot breath rushed straight into her mind from her ear canal. He felt that his mind seemed to be blown by this breath, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

Qin Ziling felt the trembling, couldn't help but blush and her heartbeat. She couldn't help but bit her lower lip and dared not say another word.

The man in black was full of spring, and the man in black was furious over there: "Why is there nothing?" His voice was very thick and powerful, and he obviously had a very high cultivation level.

The boy and girl woke up temporarily and stared nervously at the man in black through the vines.

The man in black was unwilling to give up, and searched for a long time, but still found nothing. He was so angry that he kicked the corpse: "You useless waste! You were actually killed, and all my hard work was in vain! Tell me quickly, who was taking it away?"

Suddenly he stretched out his hand, reached out to the corpse's forehead, grabbed the corpse's arm and bent his arm.

Zhou Shaobai was curious, what was this man in black doing?

Qin Ziling's expression changed slightly and she whispered: "Oh no, this man noticed that the body of the flower-picking thief still had warmth and had not stiffened his joints. Obviously, he knew that he had just died!"

Zhou Shaobai suddenly realized and secretly cried out in his heart. With this awareness, the man in black would definitely think that the person who killed the man in black had not gone far. If he checked nearby, he would be very likely to find this hiding place!

Sure enough, the man in black stood up and looked around, obviously skeptical about this area.

Qin Ziling held Zhou Shaobai's hand in fear. Although Zhou Shaobai was also very nervous, she felt a little bold in front of the girl and whispered: "Miss Qin, if there is any reason, I, Zhou Shaobai, don't want to do it, and I will protect you."

Qin Ziling felt a fever in her heart and she quickly shook her head: "Never..."

"Shh!"

Zhou Shaobai suddenly stopped him, and it turned out that the man in black was slowly walking in this direction.

Qin Ziling also saw it. She was frightened and held Zhou Shaobai's hand tightly.

The man in black slowly walked towards the stone wall. He found that the weeds growing on the ground seemed to have traces of being trampled, so he searched along the way.

The boy and girl in the cave were so nervous that they didn't dare to let out a word, and stared at the man in black who was getting closer and closer.

Zhou Shaobai noticed that Qin Ziling's hands were trembling, and he couldn't help but hold the hilt of the sword tightly. He thought to himself: Even if he died here today, he would never let the Qin girl hurt him at all.

At this moment, a few roars suddenly came from the crack in front of the rock, and several black shadows spread out and four hooves passed by.

It turned out that a few mountain deer passed by and saw the man in black and fled in shock.

The man in black stood up in disappointment and shook his head: "It turned out to be the marks of the deer stepping out."

He turned around and walked away, and finally slowly disappeared into the night.

Zhou Shaobai was overjoyed and was finally saved.

Just as he was about to get out of the cave, Qin Ziling grabbed him and whispered: "Brother Zhou must not go out, what if there is a fraud?"

Only then did Zhou Shaobai realize that he was reckless again and admired this girl very much.

In about a quarter of an hour, the man in black walked back from another direction, obviously searching nearby.

Zhou Shaobai was sweating coldly. Fortunately, Qin Ziling was extremely smart, otherwise she would have almost fallen into the trap.

The man in black shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, let's think of a solution when you go back."

After saying that, he drew out the long sword and threw it flat. His body swayed and he was already standing firmly on the sword. In an instant, he disappeared into the vast forest.

Now, Zhou Shaobai and Qin Ziling were both stunned.

The Taoist sect in the man in black who just walked on his sword was clearly the unique "Sword stomping on the sky" of Xiyun Gate!

The two of them were speechless for a while. Seeing that the man in black had indeed left, they crawled out of the cracks of the rocks, and were sweating profusely at this time.

Qin Ziling pondered: "Brother Zhou, I have a saying that I don't know whether to speak or not."

"Miss from Qin's family, but it's okay."

"Is the sword-controlling technique used by the man in black just now the Taoist sect of the noble school?"

Zhou Shaobai nodded: "Indeed, it is a sword-like tilting into the air, and only those with deep cultivation can do it."

Qin Ziling nodded: "Brother Zhou, you called me but said it's okay, so I'll just say it. You are not patrolling the mountain, but running away secretly, right?"

"...Yes, how did you know?" Zhou Shaobai was very embarrassed. He knew that Qin Ziling Bingxue was smart and did not dare to lie in front of her anymore.

"The people patrolling the mountain are not even carrying bags, and there are so many dry foods inside." Qin Ziling smiled with a cover of her mouth.

Zhou Shaobai quickly pulled the bag on his body, and then realized that just when the two of them were close to each other in the crack of the rock, Qin Ziling was squeezed into the dry food in the bag and had already noticed it.

"Brother Zhou, since you are running away, remember to never go back to the mountain and run away." Qin Ziling said.

"Ah?" Zhou Shaobai was stunned.

Qin Ziling said slowly: "Brother Zhou said just now that only people with deep cultivation can do the trick of the man in black. I wonder how many people can do it in Xiyun Temple?"

"This... the head of the sect can do it naturally, my master and uncles can do it, and there are also a few senior brothers. As far as I know, there are no less than a dozen people."

Qin Ziling nodded: "Well. The voice of the man in black is not like a young man, probably your uncle's generation. If the flower-picking thief said it is true, then some of your uncle's generation want to destroy the Xiyun Sect, collude with outsiders to steal treasures, set fires everywhere, and kill people to silence him. He did not succeed this time, and he will definitely have to use poisoning plans in the future. There will be no peace in Xiyun Temple again, so Brother Zhou, you have escaped, just go far away, and end it all, don't get involved in this place of right and wrong, so as not to harm yourself."

Zhou Shaobai thought to himself, it turns out that she is caring about me!

Qin Ziling looked at Zhou Shaobai's eyes eagerly. He felt a warmth in his heart. He was about to agree, but suddenly, he wanted to speak but stopped.

"What's wrong?"

"Master...I don't care about the others, but Master has always been very nice to me. There are such a malicious person on the mountain now. If Master is not aware of it, if there is another disaster and Master is affected, it is not... I think I have to report to Master and hand over this "Ten Essentials of Taoist Arts" to him."

"Ah, this is not possible. Brother Zhou, if you go back to the mountain, it will definitely be a bad luck!" Qin Ziling quickly said to stop him.
