The night in Mangcang Mountain is a bit cold and somewhat eerie. Please search for the most complete novel!

The surroundings were completely silent; not even the sounds of birds, beasts, Bug Buzz could be heard.

'Slap' 'Slap' 'Slap'

The only sound was the occasional crackling of charred wood from the Courtney.

Liu Ying went from running with a joyful expression to slowing down and becoming serious.

Clearly, she also realized that something seemed amiss.

"Hello," Liu Ying greeted softly.

But there was no response.

There were five people around the Courtney. From the Liu Ying's perspective, one of them had his back to her, and the two on either side of him had their backs to her. She could only clearly see the faces of the two villagers directly in front of her.

His face was pale, expressionless, and his eyes were vacant.

"Ah!" Liu Ying was startled and took three steps back. With a 'whoosh,' she drew her spirit sword and held it protectively in front of her chest.

"Where does the young lady wish to go?" Suddenly, the five men spoke up.

They opened their mouths at the same time, but the sound came from only one place; it was very strange.

Liu Ying's expression turned serious as she stared at the five people and asked, "Who are you?"

"Whoosh~" As soon as Liu Ying finished speaking, the five people by the Courtney instantly stood up and looked at Liu Ying. The tree branches in their hands transformed into five long swords full of ferocity, and their originally expressionless faces became ferocious.

With a "whoosh," the five men raised their swords and thrust them at Liu Ying.

The situation suddenly became five against one.

Inside and outside the Bookstore.

As everyone watched the projection of the ongoing battle, they began to share their opinions.

"There's definitely something strange about this."

Deep in the mountains, there is a village, and it's so eerie; it would be strange not to say there are ghosts.

"But why did they suddenly start fighting? Weren't they just talking?" Some cultivators Taiqing.

"That's right! I asked her that question, and Miss Liu Ying only replied with one sentence, which didn't seem to be wrong at all. So why did she suddenly start fighting?"

Normally, in this situation, you would either start fighting without saying a word, or you would explain the situation clearly before taking action. It's really baffling that a fight broke out right after a sentence was spoken, especially since Miss Liu Ying didn't say anything to provoke the other party.

"These five people are quite powerful." One cultivator frowned and said, looking at the flustered Liu Ying in the projection.

"If I remember correctly, Miss Liu Ying only entered the Spirit King realm last year. With Miss Liu Ying's talent, she should have improved by one or two levels in the past year. I think Miss Liu Ying's cultivation is between the Spirit King second stage."

"The fact that the five people on the other side could force Miss Liu Ying to make a fuss suggests that their strength is around the Spirit King first stage."

Whispering discussions rippled through the Bookstore, quickly leading to a remarkably accurate deduction of Liu Ying's cultivation level and that of the five people opposite her.

Unlike what everyone else was focused on, Ma Feifei propped her head up with her hands while looking at the projection, but what she was thinking about was their brief conversation just now.

"There's definitely something wrong here," Ma Feifei pondered.

Since it's a story mission with main characters, and those characters even speak later on, there must be some trick to it.

Based on Ma Feifei's past experience of being addicted to games, the current scenario suggests that this storyline quest belongs to a dungeon.

There are usually tricks to clearing dungeons like this; some dungeons can be cleared without even defeating the monsters inside.

Now, Liu Ying is the one who's running the dungeon. This scene is the first scene image, and the villagers in it are NPC characters.

"Following this line of reasoning, the NPC's question just now must have had a deeper meaning. Liu Ying's answer was incorrect, which is why the five of them suddenly attacked her."

Thinking about this, Ma Feifei stared at the scene on the projection and whispered, "So how should I answer that question without getting attacked by them?"

"Shopkeeper, what are you saying?" Li Beiguo asked quietly from the side.

Ma Feifei glared at her and snapped, "Is this something you should be asking? Hurry up and read the book. I'm telling you, if you can't figure this out, you can stay here from now on."

Damn it, people have already figured out the secrets of "The Legend of the Swordsmen of Shu Mountain," yet these two main characters have been reading it for almost an entire afternoon and haven't made any progress. Just how bad is their comprehension?

Li Beiguo and Lin Wuchi were startled, shrank back, stopped peeking at the projection, and continued reading with their heads down.

'Clang'

Liu Ying thrust her sword at a villager, but he blocked it with his own sword. Immediately afterwards, four swords came from all directions. Liu Ying lightly stepped on the ground, and her hook flew into the air.

'When'

Four longswords intertwined, and Liu Ying descended from the sky, her toes slamming into the ground. A powerful Spiritual Power, guided by the four longswords, swiftly flowed towards the four people.

'Bang'

The Spiritual Power through the longsword, exploded within the four people's bodies, and they vanished instantly.

"Brush"

Just when they thought there was only one villager left, four more appeared by the Courtney, looking exactly the same as before. Tree branches transformed into longswords, and together with the remaining villager, they stabbed at Liu Ying.

"How could this be!" Liu Ying exclaimed softly, quickly backing away.

Inside and outside the Bookstore.

"He can actually be resurrected?" Everyone looked at each other in disbelief, their faces filled with shock.

"Then wouldn't that make him impossible to kill?" a cultivator said with a worried expression.

Although the five of them are not as powerful as Miss Liuli, if they can continue to revive like this, even if Miss Liu Ying is a whole level higher than them, she will eventually be worn down and killed.

"No, there's definitely something wrong with this." Some cultivators frowned as they watched this scene and shook their heads.

"But where does the problem lie?"

This strange phenomenon attracted not only the onlookers outside the Bookstore, but also the cultivators Bookstore. Ma Feifei even noticed several cultivators standing at the door of the private room looking at the projection.

There was that woman in the red robe.

"Has she not yet grasped the essence of the Art of War in her hand?" Ma Feifei wondered, looking at the Art of War in the woman's hand.

Ma Feifei noticed the woman when she first entered the Bookstore, not because she was particularly beautiful, but mainly because her height and clothing were so eye-catching that Ma Feifei took a second look at her.

He's very handsome, yes, handsome, or perhaps it would be more accurate to say he has masculine features; he's also very tall, at least 1.8 meters according to Ma Feifei's estimation!

Ma Feifei has grown almost a head taller.

Especially the red robe. Having been in this world for so long, Ma Feifei rarely saw anyone wearing red clothes. Most of the popular clothing colors in the Great Chu were rather monotonous, such as black and white. Her red robe, combined with her height, made her quite conspicuous.

Seemingly sensing Ma Feifei's gaze, the woman turned her head and met his Ma Feifei.

Ma Feifei sensed a murderous aura!
