Chapter 521 The building is empty
"Wuli Village is actually so close to the capital?"

The full moon was in the sky. Under the moonlight, Fu Qingzhou looked towards the manor in the distance, a little stunned.

At this time, he, Qiu Chan, Tang Jiao, Wu Yan, Tang Min and others were crouching in the bushes not far from Wuli Village, suppressing their breath to the lowest level.

"Something's wrong."

Tang Min said in a deep voice: "There is a maze here, we shouldn't be able to see the manor."

Fu Qingzhou frowned and looked at Wu Yan.

Wu Yan said calmly: "That's right."

Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the bandages on his body for a few seconds.

This guy's injury has actually almost healed... His recovery ability is not much worse than Qi Ran Jue's, it's outrageous.

"There is indeed no maze."

At this time, Qiu Chan also spoke softly.

There was a tiny jade bee lying on her palm, not making any movement at this moment - she had demonstrated this little magic weapon before, and if there was really a maze nearby, it would definitely react.

"Don't let your guard down." Fu Qingzhou whispered, "Let your fellow sisters wait outside for support. We will quietly approach... Jiaojiao."

"Hmm?" Tang Jiao raised her head: "What's wrong, brother?"

"You only have four realms."

Fu Qingzhou said softly: "Although you are not weaker than the average fifth realm, if there is real danger, I am afraid you will not be able to handle it - you should also go with the sisters and brothers from Ziqi Xianfeng Temple to support them from outside."

"I won't." Tang Jiao frowned, "I can listen to Big Brother on other matters, but not on this one."

Fu Qingzhou was helpless and glanced at Tang Min.

Tang Min had a blank expression on his face and slowly took out the short stick from his sleeve.

"And, uncle."

At this moment, Tang Jiao suddenly turned her head and glared at her uncle: "Don't think about knocking me out quietly from behind! No way!"

Tang Min raised the short stick halfway and an awkward expression appeared on his face.

Qiu Chan covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

"You guys, are you going or not?" Wu Yan spoke with a hint of impatience in his tone.

"Go, go."

Fu Qingzhou said helplessly: "Then Jiaojiao, you should be more careful."

After saying that, he no longer hesitated, took the lead and walked forward quietly.

He was the vanguard, Qiu Chan and Tang Jiao guarded the middle, and Wu Yan and Tang Min, two killers who were good at hiding and had stronger anti-detection capabilities, were responsible for covering the rear.

Not far ahead was Wuli Village. The five of them quietly followed the path in the forest, approaching it little by little.

"Speaking of which..."

Tang Jiao moved closer to Fu Qingzhou and asked in a low voice, "Brother, why don't you ask...Brother Bai for help?"

"found."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "But you also know his current identity - without evidence, it's not easy for him to help us openly, so let's explore first."

He was not lying. He did go to see Zhao Yuan during the day.

Zhao Yuan's response was straightforward: "Damn, such an interesting thing? Take me with you? Don't worry! I will quietly bring the people from Mingjian Pavilion, I guarantee there will be no danger!"

He was no longer in danger. Fu Qingzhou was afraid that Li Jingzhe would chop him into minced meat sauce...

How can an emperor be so immature and have no awareness?
Therefore, the dignified hidden dragon Fu Qingzhou could only flee in panic... It would be better to wait until the evidence is really found in Wuli Village, and then let Mingjian Pavilion deal with it seriously.

"The Jade Bee is moving."

At this time, Qiu Chan suddenly said: "But the amplitude is very small... It should be just Wuli Village's basic defense formation, there is no danger."

Fu Qingzhou stopped and looked at Wuli Manor, which was ten steps away. This manor was actually not that big.

It is leaning against the mountain wall and located in the woods. There is no room for large openings and closings, but the architectural style is elegant and quiet. It's just that the gate is painted black, which makes it look out of place. The two stone lions in front of the gate look particularly ferocious and cruel, without any majesty.

Qiu Chan carried the jade bee to the front of the gate and gently extended her palm forward. The jade bee's flapping wings suddenly became much faster.

"The protective formation is in front of this door."

She looked stern and asked, "What do you mean?"

Fu Qingzhou stood in front of the door and tightened his grip on the knife handle - in the past, the smoker would probably have been able to solve the problem with just a glance.

"Jiaojiao."

He called out, "Use your spirit sword to climb over the wall and explore."

"it is good."

While Tang Jiao was speaking, the magic sword in her sleeve suddenly flew out, crossed the courtyard wall and flew into the manor.

But the magic sword had just flown over the ten-foot-high courtyard wall when it seemed to have encountered a strong turbulent wind, and the sword's momentum was immediately disrupted. After spinning around in the air for several times like a headless fly, it fell back outside the courtyard wall and was caught by Tang Jiao.

"No."

She whispered, "Once I pass the wall, my connection with it will be disrupted."

"I understand." Fu Qingzhou said, slowly pulling out the Cloud-Splitting Knife in his hand: "Remember, no matter how many enemies there are and how strong they are, as long as we can still fight, we should not rush to escape. If we miss today, it will be difficult to find evidence of them."

As several people responded, his long sword had already been unsheathed!

The knife flashed and the wind blew fiercely!
In an instant, the black gate and the two ferocious stone lions were all covered with knife marks!
The pupils of several people were shocked.

"So fast……"

Wu Yan couldn't help but mutter, "He's even stronger..."

Fu Qingzhou let out a light breath and slowly put the sword back into the sheath.

When the sound of the long sword falling from its sheath was heard, the gate and the stone lion collapsed at the same time!

Not only that, the power of the formation that enveloped the courtyard wall also faded away and disappeared, and the jade bee in Qiu Chan's hand also instantly became quiet.

"There is a formation, but it's not strong."

Fu Qingzhou said softly: "With the strength of Wuli Village, there shouldn't be no maze, nor should there be only such a small protective array - this place either has a trap, or no one has left."

"Whatever you do, don't separate and explore carefully."

After saying that, he slowly stepped on the rubble and broken pieces of the wooden door that had fallen to the ground and walked into the manor.

The few of them still maintained their formation and moved deeper into the cave cautiously.

The layout of this manor is also very simple. It looks like an ordinary mountain villa. The only difference is that all the buildings in the house have been emptied.

Not only that, even the paint was freshly applied and the floor tiles were intact, but there was not a single fish in the pond... no, let alone fish, there was not even a drop of water to be seen.

The five people spent several quarters of an hour searching the farm twice, but they couldn't find any clues, not even a footprint, a hair, a piece of paper, or a single word.

"Indeed, the building is deserted."

Tang Jiao's eyes were full of disappointment: "We are still too late."

Qiu Chan frowned, "But if they have already wiped out all the marks and left, why would they leave a protective formation behind?"

Fu Qingzhou was startled, as if he had thought of something.

Wu Yan spoke first: "Touch the rope!"

"What?" Fu Qingzhou was stunned.

Tang Min's hand trembled, and he held the short stick in his hand. He said in a deep voice: "He is talking about the trigger rope, the trigger rope that triggers the trap... It is a common method used by assassins to ambush. They use a simple, easily broken thing to determine whether the target has stepped into the trap."

As soon as he finished speaking, a creepy, chilling aura quickly enveloped him!
