"Now that the matter of the Scarlet Flame Running Rhino has concluded successfully, we can bring the topic back to the previous point."
"obviously."
"This is enough to prove that my training didn't go awry. I went to capture it. After I caught it, I had to focus on suppressing it and preventing it from running away. At the same time, I kept negotiating with it about hiring. Naturally, I had no time to show up."
"Please don't worry, everyone and Senior Lu. I'm not injured and I don't need any treatment."
That’s all for the sake of talking about it.
Even Xiao Yanqing.
Everyone felt that this reason was very solid and reasonable.
Did they really blame Luo Guanhe wrongly?

After the show.
Everyone dispersed.
The two girls also returned to the courtyard where they had lived in the past year. It was shaded by green trees and had a rich spiritual energy. The arrangement of objects was still the same as before. When they moved in, they really felt like they were back home.
Xiao Yanqing sat at the head of the bed, his face propped up with his hands, deep in thought:
"Master, are you sure the location of the Heavenly Soul Emperor you sensed is here?"
"We just saw Luo Guanhe. If he were the Heavenly Soul Emperor, there's no way he could have fought against a Fusion Stage Red Flame Running Rhino and even brought him back to the sect."
"After all, you also said that although he survived your attack, he only has the strength of the Void Refinement Realm."
Lu Zhiqiu nodded in agreement.
She paced the room, sorting out everything that had happened today.
How to look.
Luo Guanhe doesn't even look like the Heavenly Soul Emperor.
But she couldn't draw any conclusions from this and still had to verify it carefully.
"Hey, why is there someone patrolling outside?"
"I remember that before we left, during the year we stayed here, there was no such thing as disciples patrolling."
It was late at night.
The two looked out the window.
Just as they were looking at the bright moon, a team of disciples were flying over the sect on swords, as if they were on patrol. There were four people in a team, each responsible for a position, so they could have a panoramic view of the surrounding environment and leave no chance for a sneak attack.
Lu Zhiqiu's heart moved and he waved at the few people.
Several people fell to the ground immediately.
"Senior Lu, we meet again."
The man in the lead was Sun Long, who was guarding the mountain gate when he entered the sect during the day. When he saw Lu Zhiqiu, he hurriedly greeted him respectfully.
Lu Zhiqiu waved his hand and asked:
"Are you guys on guard against something?"
"I remember that more than a month ago, before I left, the sect didn't have the habit of patrolling at night."
Sun Long sighed, exchanged glances with the other three, and explained:
"Senior, you don't know."
"Ten days ago, our sect's eldest senior brother suddenly disappeared, along with the dozen or so foundation-building practitioners who were with him."
"That night, they were all practicing in the back mountains, but after that night, no one saw them again."
Lu Zhiqiu rubbed his chin:
"Is that the guy named An Lan? I remember him."
Sun Long nodded and said:
"Yes, a person like the eldest brother will leave a deep impression on anyone who meets him."
"They always say things like [The King cannot be insulted], [Even if I bear the cold shoulder, I need to hold up the heavens and earth with one hand, I, An Lan, am invincible at the same level], [The pinnacle of the immortals, proud of the world, as long as I, An Lan, there is the sky]"
"Although he's just full of big talk and stupidity, he's actually a really nice person and often helps us, his junior brothers and sisters."
"Furthermore, he is truly gifted. With the Giant King's Treasure Body and the Thousand-Year Soul, he has the opportunity to reach the Mahayana stage or even transcend the tribulation in the future."
His tone was filled with heavy regret.
It's not just Sun Long.
Lu Zhiqiu also has a fresh memory of An Lan.
Because this guy talks too much nonsense.
When he first came to see Lu Zhiqiu, he looked very distrustful, and the words "Can you do it? If not, I'll ask the Sect Leader. Don't waste time" were almost written on his face.
But after being shocked by Lu Zhiqiu's erudition.
He quickly became Lu Zhiqiu's number one supporter. When Lu Zhiqiu left the sect more than a month ago, he was the one who cried the most.
His talent is indeed not bad.
The Giant King Body is a very special physique. The more arrogant and conceited a person is, the more this physique can be stimulated, and the faster he can practice and the stronger he can fight.
The Long Live Soul is even more special.
It is said that it is formed by the condensation of the kingly and hegemonic spirit between heaven and earth, which makes people feel awe-inspiring without being angry, and has a natural kingly demeanor that looks down on the world.
The two complement each other.
But Lu Zhiqiu didn't see any domineering aura in him, more like the aura of a turtle.
Shake his head.
Sun Long continued:
"Later, people started disappearing every day. We reported this to the Sect Leader, and he said he would investigate thoroughly. However, given his injuries, he was powerless to intervene."
Lu Zhiqiu nodded.
She remembered that when she arrived at the mountain gate during the day, she asked Sun Long about Luo Guanhe's recent situation. He did say that the sect leader was seriously injured and could not even handle many major events that had happened recently in the sect. It seemed that he was talking about this matter.
"But relying solely on your patrols... I'm afraid it won't be of much help in resolving the situation."
Lu Zhiqiu thought about it and decided to tell him this helpless fact.
Sun Long smiled bitterly and said:
"Of course we also know that if someone could abduct the eldest brother and others silently within the sect, then if we encountered them, we would probably be killed before we could even spread the news."
“But there’s always a chance.”
"What if our patrol can buy the deputy sect leader and the elders time to react?"
"The sooner the crisis is resolved, the sooner everyone can live a peaceful life. What's more, now that you're here, I believe you won't sit idly by if a crisis arises. I personally feel that I am still very safe."
Lu Zhiqiu remembered that the sect did have a deputy sect leader who was at the peak of the Void Refinement Realm, and he had met him today.
She thought for a moment and asked again:
"Why didn't you tell me about this during the day?"
Sun Long smiled and said:
"I had thought of it, but you came in and went straight to the Sect Master, and then easily resolved the matter of the Scarlet Flame Running Rhino. Now that our sect has a guardian beast in the Fusion Stage, the Sect Master is free to take care of it, so there's no need to bother you any more."
"and……"
"And what?"
Lu Zhiqiu asked subconsciously.
"Also, the Sect Leader instructed us this afternoon that since you've been traveling so long, we shouldn't disturb you. We can handle our own affairs on our own. The Sect is capable of handling them anyway."
"But since we've met here, I might as well tell you."
"And the Sect Leader also forbade us from patrolling anymore, saying that with him and the Red Flame Rhino here, if the murderer comes again, he'll be sure to never return."
"I was bored, so I took our previous team out for a stroll. Actually, it can't be called a patrol. The previous patrols had dozens of teams guarding various routes. I only have one team, what can I patrol? I just treat it as a leisurely stroll."
Sun Long scratched his head and smiled innocently.
The master won’t let me speak?
As a result, the suspiciousness of Luoguan River increased again.
"Senior, if there's nothing else, let's continue patrolling... No, relax."
Suddenly, there was a new combined combat force in the sect.
Lu Zhiqiu is also in charge.
Sun Long felt relieved and more convinced that this matter would be properly handled and any murderer would be brought to justice!
Looking at the backs of several people walking away.
Xiao Yanqing pulled Lu Zhiqiu's hand and whispered:
"Shouldn't we also pay attention to the situation of the sect at night?"
"I think this matter may be related to the Heavenly Soul Emperor we are investigating."
Lu Zhiqiu understood what his disciple meant:
"You think that Luo Guanhe relies on absorbing the flesh and blood of his disciples to quickly recover his strength."
"In this way, he is indeed capable of fighting against the Fusion Stage Red Flame Running Rhino, thus creating today's scene, allowing us to lower our vigilance against him, dispel our suspicions, and divert our attention."
Xiao Yanqing nodded:
"exactly."
"In order to prevent us from finding any clues, he also instructed his disciples not to tell us about the disciple's disappearance and asked everyone to cancel patrols."
"Luckily, Sun Long is a restless guy who took the initiative to come out for a stroll, so we ran into him."
Lu Zhiqiu nodded and said with a smile:
"You're right. He really is a man who can't sit still."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have thought about all that messy stuff like lightning-struck soil, fire-roasted lightning-struck soil, etc."
Xiao Yanqing said again:
"Then what do we do next?"
Lu Zhiqiu yawned:
"I'll do nothing and continue to focus on the Luoguan River."
Xiao Yanqing didn't understand:
"It's so obvious, why should we continue to pay attention? We can just go up and confront him directly."
Lu Zhiqiu pinched Xiao Yanqing's face and snorted:
"Are you the Master or am I the Master?"
"Listen to me, now, immediately, go back to sleep, I'll take care of Luoguan River's affairs."
Although Xiao Yanqing didn't understand.
