As if he had done something inconspicuous, Qu Wuming twisted the spell in his hand, raised his thumb and pressed lightly on Yue Huaqun's body. A hot flame spurted out from his fingertips, and in an instant, the two bodies were burned.
Cut off the corpse and engulf it.
Only a few breaths of time had passed, and Yue Huaqun's body had been burned to ashes, leaving only blood and a few ashes on the ground, proving that a monk named Yue Huaqun had appeared and existed here.
Qu Wuming waved his hand, took Yue Huaqun's storage ring on the sand into his hand, and put it into the storage ring without looking at it.
"I have finally taken a position in the Tianjing Division," Qu Wuming said softly while doing these things, "I will kill a scum like Yue Huaqun even if you don't take action."
"Tian Jing Si?" Tong Xiangyu is not a Taoist, so naturally she has never heard of the name Tian Jing Si.
"The Tianjing Division is a huge organization that spans several continents. It is responsible for maintaining the order of the monks in the ten directions." Qu Wuming explained, "One of the responsibilities is to punish those who rely on their magic power to bully ordinary people.
People do evil things."
"I see……"
"Actually, I secretly checked your spiritual roots a few days ago." Qu Wuming looked away from the ashes left by Yue Huaqun, "Actually, you can also practice Taoism."
"Ah? Can I be as powerful as Brother Qu?" Tong Xiangyu couldn't help but light up after hearing this.
"That's natural." Qu Wuming nodded and said, "It's just that if you start practicing now, your starting age is a little later. I'm afraid the upper limit of your cultivation in the future will be greatly affected."
"It doesn't matter." Tong Xiangyu smiled slightly when he heard this, "Even if the upper limit is not high, it is better than being like an ordinary person, facing such a beast and not even being able to fight back!" Thinking of the scene just now, Tong Xiangyu still felt in her heart
Somewhat resentful, he raised his foot and kicked, sending a bunch of ashes flying on the ground. "Brother Qu, can you teach me how to practice? Otherwise, how about I become my teacher?" After saying this, he made a gesture to lift his clothes and kneel down.
"Haha... Say goodbye, say goodbye!" Qu Wuming smiled and waved his hand. As he spoke, he stretched out his palm and pressed it on the sand in front of him. Then he turned his palm gently, and the sand followed the song.
Wuming's palm rolled up, and in a moment, all the blood and ashes on the ground were buried under the thick yellow sand. "I don't accept apprentices. If you want to practice, after this mission is completed, I will
Just teach you."
Hearing this, Tong Xiangyu's eyes flashed with joy, and she hurriedly saluted again: "Then thank Brother Qu in advance!"
…
The next day, when everyone got up one after another, and some monks who had practiced cross-legged all night also walked out of the tent, naturally someone discovered that Yue Huaqun, who had been responsible for keeping vigil last night, was missing.
"Where is Fellow Daoist Yue?" Zuo Songchan, who had a close personal relationship with Yue Huaqun, asked with a frown.
"I didn't see him when I got up in the morning to pee." Not far away, Hu Baye responded.
"Fellow Daoist Yue?! Yue Huaqun???" Zuo Songchan shouted several times, but there was no response in the desert.
"Where are the people?" Zuo Songchan stamped his feet, jumped into the air, flew to a height of several feet and looked around in the distance, but there was no sign of Yue Huaqun either.
In the crowd, Qu Wuming and Tong Xiangyu both chose to remain silent, each picking up what they were doing.

service.
"Fellow Daoist Wei! Can you help me see if something happened to Yue Huaqun?" After missing Yue Huaqun for a long time, Zuo Songchan changed his mind and came to Wei Yixian's side.
"Well..." Wei Yixian pondered for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, let me figure it out."
After that, Wei Yixian took out a few copper coins and muttered something. After a while, he threw the coins on the sand and took a look. Then he closed his eyes and started counting silently.
Everyone gathered around, waiting for the results of Wei Yixian's calculations. Qu Wuming and Tong Xiangyu's hearts moved slightly, and they couldn't help but secretly glance at each other.
When Wei Yixian opened his eyes, his eyes glanced at Qu Wuming and Tong Xiangyu seemingly unintentionally, he bent down to pick up the copper coins, sighed and said: "Hey, I'm afraid Daoist Fellow Yue doesn't want to continue the mission, he already secretly left on his own last night
.Don’t worry about him, let’s continue on our way!”
"How could this be? It's really..." Zuo Songchan said a little speechlessly.
Hou Jinfa said angrily from the side: "Fortunately, I didn't meet the Sand Bandit last night, otherwise it would have been damn wonderful if someone had raided my lair in my sleep!"
Qu Wuming and Tong Xiangyu looked at each other, and both noticed the same message in each other's eyes - Wei Yixian must be lying. However, this lie helped them cover up the truth of the matter.
For a time, everyone couldn't help but talk about it, but they stopped pursuing it and continued to pack their things.
At this time, Wei Yixian's voice sounded again: "There will be an oasis in about half a day, everyone, hurry up!" Wei Yixian said loudly, "By the way, you cultivators, don't forget what I said before
, take out all the weapons and elixirs you have handy, otherwise it will be too late to regret it! Haha..."
…
Half a day later, everyone saw a prominent dot on the horizon from a distance, with a faint green light.
"Let's go! The oasis is over there!" Hu Baye urged the sand camel beast on his crotch and led the team towards the direction of the oasis.
As the saying goes, "Looking up the mountain and running to death", although they had already seen the oasis, the group still walked for half an hour before they finally came to the oasis.
However, before everyone could get too close, a loud arrow shot out from the oasis, drew a beautiful arc, and stuck in front of Hu Baye's sand camel beast with a pop.
If Hu Baye hadn't pulled the reins in time and stopped, the arrow would have shot directly into his chest!
"It's the Sand Bandit again!" Mr. Hu Ba curled his lips, looking coldly at the dozens of horsemen and horses rushing out of the oasis, and put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist.
Everyone gathered the sand camel beast in one place, and several people rushed to the front row with swords in hand, hoping to have a better view while "watching the show" for a while.
A group of tomb robbers, each holding a sword, watched coldly as the sand robbers gathered around, with the same contemptuous smile on their lips as Hu Baye, silently calculating the distance in their hearts. They knew that Qu Wuming and other cultivators must be waiting for this.
The sand thieves won't take action until they get closer.
And when Qu Wuming and the others couldn't help but take action, this group of sand thieves died.
At this moment, I suddenly heard Taoist Ding Xian behind me exclaim: "What's going on? My magic power is gone!"
"Mine too!" aside
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Zuo Songchan was also shocked and said, "The power of spiritual consciousness is gone!"
"What's going on?! Me too!" Mo Heng also shouted.
Qu Wuming and Han Ling'er beside him were looking at each other in shock at this moment, and they both saw one sentence in the other's eyes - "Me too!"
However, at this time, the group of sand thieves were almost rushing forward, and the first round of arrow rain had already quietly fallen...
Whether they are caravans, bodyguards, or desperate bandits traveling in the desert, bows and arrows are always their best weapons.
Sometimes, it only takes one round of arrows to pass before you can know whether the opposing team is an enemy you can withstand.
If they encounter a strong caravan, the sand bandits sometimes will not fight head-on, but the caravan will "consciously" send people to negotiate with it, leaving some money as a tool for the sand bandits not to continue to entangle.
"Buying road money", after the sand bandits accepted the money, they would no longer continue to follow and harass the caravan.
But if you encounter a caravan like Qu Wuming's - the sand bandits have rushed within a stone's throw, and there is no resistance to the caravan, the sand bandits will use their bows and arrows to clear the way for the caravan's
The goods have a new owner.
…
These more than fifty sand bandits are all masters of riding and shooting.
Before the men and horses arrived, three rounds of arrows had already been fired.
And the targets of those three rounds of arrow rain turned out to be only the twenty people on the Sand Camel Beast.
Although this group of sand pirates are all ordinary warriors who have been wandering around the vast desert all year round, many of them have never even seen the tall camel beasts under the crotches of those twenty people, but it is not difficult for them to guess that those tall and docile looking camels
Beasts should be more precious than horses and camels - even if this caravan does not carry valuable goods, these sand camel beasts alone are probably a considerable fortune, so naturally they should be preserved as much as possible.
The three-round arrow rain, which was almost horizontally shot, was like three dark sickles, roaring through the air, slashing across the chests and throats of Qu Wuming, who was riding on the sand camel beast.
"Get out of the way!" Wei Yixian shouted and rolled down first. Before leaving the saddle, he did not forget to drag his disciple Mo Tong down with him.
"Uh..." A tomb robber riding at the front couldn't dodge in time. He only had time to let out a muffled grunt. His body was already filled with arrows like a hedgehog, and he turned over and fell to the ground.
Next to him, Zuo Songchan waved the long sword in his hand quickly. He had just knocked off two arrows, but there were already five more arrow tails on his chest.
He was stunned again, and even three or five arrows were inserted into his head! Without the blessing of the power of divine consciousness, a Taoist like Zuo Songchan didn't seem to be much better than an ordinary warrior.
Zuo Songchan's whole body was thrown backwards by a strong force. He first fell on the sand camel beast behind him, and then rolled to the ground. By the time Zuo Songchan rolled to the ground, his mouth was already full.
The nose bleeds and he is dead.
When Qu Wuming realized that something was wrong, he pulled Han Ling'er and jumped off the sand camel beast, dodging and hiding between the two large cars behind. When he turned around again, he saw Wei Yixian, Mo Tong, Tong Xiangyu and others also joined him one after another.
He rolled over and crawled on the ground.
Seeing Wei Yixian coming over, Qu Wuming asked in a deep voice: "What's going on? Why has our mana disappeared?!"
