I can strengthen

Chapter 230 Mukun
boom!
With a wave of Lin Xingjian's jade ruler, he heard a sound of explosion, and an invisible wave of air surged out towards Yuan Gang.

"Be careful."

Yuan Hongye's reminder came from behind, and Yuan Gang who rushed towards Lin Starship also reacted.

"Spirit weapon?"

His face changed slightly when he was in the air.

The spiritual weapon and the magic weapon are different in one word, but the power is very different.

Even a casual blow has terrifying power, and can blow ordinary Qi-refining monks into dust.

He quickly used his mana to protect his whole body, and at the same time hid to the side.

But it's too slow.

The invisible air wave hit his body in an instant, and fell on him with overwhelming force, directly whipping him backwards, flying a full tens of meters before landing heavily on the ground, spurting a mouthful of blood.

"Hmph, what about Dingbo Mansion?"

Lin Xingjian snorted coldly, his eyes were cold and sullen.

During the recent trials on Wansen Island, these monks from Dingbo Mansion often sneaked in and looted wantonly.

His Tianxing Palace doesn't want to care about it.

It was because he didn't want to start a war with Dingbo Mansion.

But, since he was met by Lin Starship...

Murderous intent rose in his heart, and the measuring ruler in his hand began to brew inspiration.

"Wait a minute, fellow daoist, I'm not a monk from the Dingbo Mansion." Yuan Hongye stepped forward and said expressionlessly.

Done.

She turned her head and glanced at Yuan Gang.

I saw Yuan Gang clutching his chest, walking from the mist, with blood on the corner of his mouth, and his face was slightly pale.

But other than that, he walked with ease and breathed evenly.

Apparently, there were only minor injuries.

"Then who are you?" Lin Xingjian glanced over Yuan Gang without a trace, his eyes froze slightly, and the starlight on the measuring ruler dimmed slightly.

He originally planned to make a move to deal with these two people directly.

But unexpectedly, this person was able to stand up after being hit by his measuring ruler.

Although he didn't use all his strength, it also made him feel the pressure and decided to suspend the offensive.

"My surname is Yuan, and I come from the Four-Armed Demon Clan." Yuan Hongye said calmly.

behind her.

Yuan Gang's eyes flickered.

In his opinion, even if the kid in front of him has a spiritual weapon, their master and servant can capture and kill him.

It's just that Yuan Hongye spoke up, so he could only go with his will.

"Four-armed demons?" Lin Xingjian's pupils shrank suddenly.

The four-armed demon clan is a big clan living in the middle of the chaotic sea of ​​demons.

And being able to live in the middle of the Chaotic Demon Sea is a symbol of strength, and there must be monks in the Yuandan realm sitting in the clan.

"It turned out to be a friend of the four-armed demon clan. The friend of the Tao came from afar, so why?"

Lin Xingjian's thoughts turned sharply, and he looked at Yuan Hongye vigilantly.

And the complexions of the subordinates behind him also changed, and there was a look of horror in their eyes.

When they were young, they also fantasized about wandering in the sea of ​​chaos and demons in the past.

The big clan in the chaotic sea, this is too far away from them.

However, right now, there was a young man from a rich family standing in front of them, which made them both curious and revered. Even Lin Xingjian, the young master, seemed to pale in comparison to the two in front of him.

"There are murals of my four-armed demon clan here, so come and have a look." Yuan Hongye looked into the depths of Mihun Valley.

This news came from a cultivator from Tianxinghai, who said with certainty that this place was related to the four-armed demon race.

Later, she looked through the classics of the clan and found out that this place is really related to their four-armed demon clan, so she made this trip to Wansen Island.

"The murals of the four-armed demons?"

Lin Xingjian seemed to have thought of something, and said calmly: "There are indeed murals of the four-armed demons on the walls of Midi, but besides the four-armed demons, there are many murals of other races on them."

"I know." Yuan Hongye nodded.

"Just because of a mural?" Lin Xingjian narrowed his eyes slightly.

He felt a little resentful, but also a little doubtful.

These two people have traveled thousands of miles to Wansen Island because there is a mural of a four-armed demon clan here?

is it possible?

"You don't have to know."

Seeing that Lin Xingjian was talking nonsense, a scarlet light flashed in Yuan Hongye's eyes, and his voice became a little cold.

She stared at Lin Xingjian, and said indifferently: "Hong Bo is about to catch up, why don't you and I cooperate first, get rid of him, and then talk about other things?"

"Who is Hong Bo?" Lin Xingjian was taken aback.

"You don't even know about Hong Bo?" Yuan Gang's eyes widened with disbelief.

Lin Xingjian and his men looked at Yuan Gang with puzzled faces.

"Hong Bo is a small boss of Dingbo Mansion, he killed many of you, right?" Yuan Gang explained, frowning slightly.

When he and Yuan Hongye came, they saw Hong Bo massacring a group of monks.

Isn't this Lin Starship an important figure in the Tianxing Palace?
He didn't care at all when his subordinates were killed?
If his four-armed demon clan was killed, even if they chased him thousands of miles away, they would still kill the murderer.

"They are just casual cultivators participating in the trial, and have not entered my Tianxing Palace, let alone my Tianxing Palace disciples." Lin Xingjian explained lightly.

But there was a chill in my heart.

He is very clear about the style of Dingbo Mansion, it is more domineering than their Tianxing Palace, and at the same time a hundred times more brutal.

As the little boss of the Dingbo Mansion, Na Hongbo must also be a ruthless person. After knowing the existence of the secret place, he definitely wanted to find out.

not to mention.

Even if these two people need to find him to cooperate, then Hong Bo's strength must be extremely strong.

Think about it here.

After pondering for a while, he opened his mouth and said: "I can cooperate with you to deal with that Hong Bo, but..."

Lin Xingjian also wanted to discuss the secret land with Yuan Hongye.

But at this time, a majestic grin came from the mist.

"To deal with me? Just rely on you?"

The voice fell.

Then I saw a man with a height of nearly three meters coming out of the mist. He was a burly figure, even Yuan Gang, compared with him, was like a three-year-old child.

The man is Hong Bo.

Feeling confident at this moment, he wandered between Yuan Hongye and Lin Xingjian with cold eyes.

"You'll know if you try it." Yuan Hongye looked at Hong Bo with a calm expression.

Hong Bo's strength is strong, but she can't keep her, so she doesn't need to be overly nervous.

As for the six subordinates behind Hong Bo, they were just ants, and there was no need to take them to heart.

"Is Hong Bo right? Remember, my son, Lin Xingjian. In the future, these three words will become a nightmare that I will think of every day." Lin Xingjian stood there with his hands behind his hands, with a calm expression on his face.

"Insanity!"

"Arrogant!"

Hong Bo's subordinates couldn't take it anymore, they all jumped angrily, their eyes were extremely gloomy.

Where did this yellow-mouthed kid come from, and dare to speak wild words to their boss before he even grows his hair?

"Lin Starship? From the Heavenly Star Palace?"

Hong Bo squinted at Lin Starship, then stuck out his tongue and licked his lips: "I thought you guys in Tianxing Palace were all shrinking turtles, and they would only run away when they saw me."

"You are the first one who didn't turn around and run away after seeing me."

"Forget it, I will reward you with a whole corpse."

With a smirk, he stomped on the ground with his left foot, and shot out violently, rushing towards the Lin starship.

The ground trembled slightly.

The breath is compelling!

"So strong!"

Looking at the menacing Hong Bo rushing towards him like Mount Tai, Lin Xingjian's eyes were solemn, and his whole body tensed up instantly.

Then, without even thinking about it, he took out the measuring ruler and smashed it out with one foot.

I saw the aura on the measuring ruler surged, and immediately turned into a thick beam of light, hitting Hong Bo.

Rumble!
The air muffled.

It was the sound of air being squeezed.

However, facing this beam of light, Hong Bo didn't have the slightest fear, and just punched the beam of light.

"boom!"

Just like Gonggong crashing into Buzhou Mountain angrily, there was only a loud noise, the beam of light shattered directly, and a terrifying air wave swept around.

As for Hong Bo, he let out a triumphant laugh, and continued to rush towards the Starship Lin with an indescribable prestige.

"Spirit weapon? Unfortunately, you are too weak!"

Behind Lin Starship.

The complexions of the subordinates changed drastically, and they didn't dare to show their sharpness at all. The moment the two of them fought, they immediately retreated, and they didn't know where to hide.

And Lin Xingjian's eyes were serious.

Seeing Hong Bo rushing towards him, he used his body skills and retreated backwards, while waving the measuring ruler again.

"A meteorite descends from the sky!"

boom!
On the measuring ruler, the aura skyrocketed.

Then it turned into a blue light, suddenly rose to the sky, and fell towards Hongbo.

Terrifying spiritual light rose, and the measuring star seemed to turn into a shooting star, appearing above Hong Bo's head instantly with the sound of a sonic boom.

Too fast.

Coupled with a killing move performed by the spirit weapon.

Its power, even ordinary monks at the early stage of the Dao Foundation, most of them cannot escape death.

far away.

Yuan Hongye's master and servant watched the battle with a little surprise in their eyes.

It is true that the spirit weapon is powerful, but it also consumes a huge amount of mana. For an ordinary monk, if he uses it twice casually, his mana will be exhausted.

It is very rare for this Lin starship to be able to control the spirit weapon and perform ultimate moves.

only……

"Baxia Bodyguard!"

But he heard Hong Bo roar.

It suddenly stopped sprinting, and dragged towards the falling measuring ruler in a gesture of supporting the sky.

Vigorous magic power gushed out from his body, turning into a pale yellow turtle shell, completely covering it.

The tortoise shell is thick and has a mysterious atmosphere, giving people a sense of indestructibility.

And so is it.

The measuring ruler smashed hard on the turtle shell, the loud noise shook the sky, the earth was filled with smoke and dust, and even the surrounding fog was blown away, like a storm surging for a while.

But to everyone's horror, there was only a trace of undetectable cracks in the tortoise shell, and Hong Bo inside was completely intact, staring at Lin Starship with high fighting spirit.

"I am the bloodline of the tyrant, I am not afraid of Daoji, you can hurt me?!"

Hong Bo howled.

Immediately, he punched Lin Starship.

The mana turned into a torrent, and it was crushed and released towards the Lin starship, as if it wanted to wipe everything down.

Lin Xingjian looked terrified, looking at Hong Bo who was like a god, completely panicking.

He has leapfrogged the ranks since he was a child, and his record is brilliant.

But that's because he has a lot of treasures in his hands, even a monk whose strength is two small realms higher than him, if he smashes a treasure, that monk can only die.

However, today he encountered a bloodline like Hong Bo who was more terrifying than him.

When the spirit weapon was smashed, it returned without success!

This was something he had never encountered before, and it also made him feel lost, not knowing what to do next.

"Be careful."

Yuan Hongye reminded, and finally made a move.

She turned into an afterimage and appeared beside Lin Starship in an instant, then grabbed Lin Starship's shoulder, lifted it lightly, and brought Lin Starship to appear ten feet away, avoiding Hong Bo's mana torrent.

"Yuan Hongye, is this little brat the helper you found?" Hong Bo grinned, and looked at Lin Xingjian's immature face with extreme disdain.

Hear this.

Lin Starship finally reacted.

His face flushed, and he was angry and afraid.

The angry thing is that this person actually called him a brat.

He is 12 years old, how could he be a child?
The fear is that this person is powerful and imposing, he is not an opponent at all.

If it wasn't for Yuan Hongye, even if he still had some life-saving props, he might not escape death in the end.

At this moment, Yuan Hongye's voice sounded beside his ears.

"I'm going to fight him, you watch the time and hit him with your spiritual weapon."

Yuan Hongye lightly confessed, then walked towards Hong Bo, and at the same time said calmly: "Hong Bo, your bloodline under the tyrant is also stronger in the early stage. You should be lucky, you and I are only at the tenth level of refining Qi. If I were Dao Ji, I can kill you with one move."

The dragon has nine sons, one of which is Ba Xia, who is shaped like a turtle and has infinite strength.

Dominate the blood.

The most outstanding thing is not the defense, but the strength and the way of controlling water.

As the cultivation base increases, the defense of the monks with the blood of Baxia will gradually decrease, while the strength will increase rapidly.

of course.

During the qi refining period, Hong Bo's bodyguard is invincible, not to mention the monks of the same realm, even the Daoist monks may not be able to break his tortoise shell.

With an indifferent expression, Yuan Hongye walked towards Hong Bo, her aura gradually rising.

"Smelly bitch, look at me coming to suppress you."

Hong Bo's eyelids twitched when he was obviously hurt by the words, and he punched Yuan Hongye directly.

He set his sights on Yuan Hongye this time because he wanted to capture this girl and make him his wife.

In order to convince Yuan Hongye, he decided to convince this girl first.

Swish!
His breath was extremely violent, and he came to Yuan Hongye very quickly, and punched Yuan Hongye's lower abdomen with a fist.

This fist, wrapped in mana, was powerful and heavy, bigger than a sandbag.

However, Yuan Hongye stretched out her seemingly slender and weak arm, grabbed Hong Bo's wrist, and then twisted it lightly. Using her strength, she twisted Hong Bo's fist aside.

The punch made Hong Bo feel as if he had eaten a fly, and his face became even uglier.

"Catch me first and then talk."

Yuan Hongye's face changed.

The snow-white skin was inexplicably filled with a blush, and a flush of excitement appeared on the cheeks.

Especially those eyes, which turned into soul-stirring Danfeng eyes, with a dazzling scarlet.

As if in just an instant, she changed from an iceberg beauty to a very active and seductive succubus.

This is the supernatural power of the four-armed demon clan, the four-armed demon god body!
It's just that Yuan Hongye's cultivation base is limited, and she still can't become a complete body and give birth to four arms, but even so, these small changes have directly increased her physical fitness by ten times.

If you can do it, you can fight against Hong Bo who has the blood of Ba Xia!

……

……

"what's the situation?"

"Someone is fighting?"

Luo Yan squatted among the branches and leaves, slowly stuck out his two eyes, and looked in the direction of the wave.

He heard movement.

Someone is fighting, making a roar.

As for the distance, it was about three or four miles away, and there was still a distance from him.

If it is another place with a wide field of vision, it is only three or four miles away. For a strong man like Luo Yan, it is equivalent to being right in front of his eyes, and everything can be seen clearly.

But this Mihun Valley is shrouded in fog, and the visibility is only five or six feet.

Even he only listened to the movement and couldn't see a trace of the picture.

This made Luo Yan's heart itch, ready to move, wanting to go and have a look.

He thought so.

Soon, it did so.

Luo Yan pondered for a while, jumped from the branches and leaves to the ground, and groped towards the direction where the movement came from.

It didn't take long for him to see both sides of the war.

A dozen or so monks hid in the distance, among them was the Lin starship, and in the middle of the battlefield, one was a strong man with a height of three meters, and the other was a girl who was only half the height of a man.

Compared with that man, that girl is as weak as a bean sprout.

But weirdly.

In the face of a strong man, the girl is not weak.

The two were shaking each other with every move. Luo Yan's blood was boiling with excitement, and he almost couldn't help but jumped out and hit him too.

But the more he looked, the more startled he became.

The two people who were fighting were terrifyingly powerful.

Even if it is him, it is not as good as it is.

Moreover, the reaction speed of the two of them is also quite fast, only weaker than him who possesses the [Magic Incantation and Refining God Technique].

If he faces the two of them, his chances of winning are extremely low!
"Blood... the blood of these two people is stronger than my blood of the black water dragon!"

Luo Yan looked enviously.

In the world of cultivating immortals, blood determines many things.

Potential, qualifications, and even the strength of the same realm.

For those with excellent bloodlines, defeating the strong with the weak is as simple as opening your mouth to eat.

However, for those with inferior bloodlines, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky if they want to defeat the strong with the weak.

Just like him, the blood of the Blackwater Flood Dragon.

Under the same realm, those with innate bloodlines can be killed with a single arc of light.

But if you want to defeat the two of you, you have to make a sneak attack, before the two of you react.

Either use the original text of the hole card, directly consume life, and evaporate the two of them with one punch.

"Blood, I must have a stronger blood!"

"I'm about to die. I haven't had a good life for decades. If the blood of the Blackwater Flood Dragon is still wasted, I will have no future!"

Luo Yan roared in his heart.

He has great ambitions, and what he pursues is not Dao Ji, nor is it the Yuan Dan god baby who is regarded as a celestial being by Xinghai today.

His goal is to be honored as the ancestor, and to make everyone kneel at his feet!

Maybe Luo Yan was in a turbulent state of mind and there was too much movement, someone discovered him.

It was Yuan Gang.

He suddenly turned his head, glared at Luo Yan, and asked with a vigilant expression: "Who are you?"

"It's me!" Luo Yan said, poking his neck.

As usual, he would turn around and run first before speaking.

But this time, perhaps because of his fluctuating mood, he didn't run away. Instead, he looked at Yuan Gang with an air of "what are you looking at me for?"

"I asked your name." Yuan Gang hesitated, his expression froze, and then he said slowly.

He also couldn't see the details of this person clearly, he only knew that this person had a strong physique and extraordinary strength.

"Next to Luo Yan." As soon as Luo Yan said the words, he regretted it.

Here, there is still a Lin starship.

When he killed Xu Lingyue, he ran so fast that Lin Xingjian didn't see him.

But as the young master of Tianxing Palace, Lin Xingjian must have received the order to kill Yu Zhenzi.

This time he declared his name, isn't it the same as letting someone else kill him?

He looked towards Starship Lin, and happened to see Starship Lin looking towards him.

The two looked at each other, Luo Yan's heart tightened, but Lin Xingjian only glanced at him, and then looked back at the two who were fighting.

It was a few men behind him.

Looking at Luo Yan, his eyes flickered, and he kept saying something to Lin Xingjian through voice transmission.

However, Lin Xingjian hadn't recovered from Hong Bo's blow. At this moment, he was so preoccupied that he didn't have the mood to pay attention to Luo Yan.

Luo Yan breathed a sigh of relief and remained calm.

It's good for Lin Starship to ignore him. In this way, it will be easier for him to fish in troubled waters.

he warned himself.

I'm just a newcomer in the world of cultivating immortals, and I can't compete with this kind of arrogance in the world of cultivating immortals.

He wants to endure.

Fishing in troubled waters.

Wait for the bloodline to be strong, wait for the strength to be strong!
Think so.

In the middle of the battlefield, the two fighting finally stopped.

"Yuan Hongye, use your strength! Are you tickling grandpa?"

"Come here and hit me! Why don't you come?"

Hong Bo stood where he was, staring at the tortoise's shell, and kept shouting.

And Yuan Hongye stood in the distance, his temples were already wet with sweat, panting for breath.

"Hong Bo, there's no need to lie to yourself. What else can you do besides being beaten? Can you touch me?"

After the breath became calmer, Yuan Hongye spoke calmly.

Her expression was still indifferent, but her tone was filled with a trace of disdain, which suddenly made the proud expression on Hong Bo's face stagnate, and turned red like a monkey's butt.

He was powerless to refute Yuan Hongye's words.

He really can only be beaten.

Seeing Hong Bo's expression, Yuan Hongye was even more proud. The corners of her mouth curled up, a hint of joking: "A man, but he can only be beaten. If I were you, I would have bought a piece of tofu and killed me."

"I kill you!"

Hong Bo's temper was violent and brutal, but Yuan Hongye immediately charged towards him with red eyes.

"Be careful, old man!"

Just now.

The younger brothers exclaimed suddenly.

Hong Bo also reacted, his face changed slightly, and he was about to use the turtle shell.

However, it was too late, a brilliant spiritual light came from behind and hit his back heavily.

"puff!"

He was thrown backwards by the measuring ruler, and when he was in the air, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell heavily to the ground.

"Hmph, domineering bloodline? That's all."

Lin Xingjian stood behind Hong Bo, holding a measuring ruler, his eyes were excited and he was full of vigor.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Hong Bo got up from the ground as if nothing had happened.

"Little boy, do you dare to attack me?"

Hong Bo wiped the blood stains from the corner of his mouth, his face was gloomy, as if dripping water.

turtle shell?
Without using the tortoise shell, his defense is still strong.

It's just that it won't be as heavy and stable as after casting the tortoise shell.

"I……"

The excitement on Lin Xingjian's face froze, but he glanced at Yuan Hongye at the side, and he simply gritted his teeth and said, "So what if I sneak attack you?"

"Good boy, if you are a man, don't hide behind women. You, come out, and I will fight you standing still." Hong Bo was extremely angry.

If it wasn't for Yuan Hongye's presence, he would have knocked down this kid who relied on a spiritual weapon with just three or two punches.

Lin Starship blushed slightly.

But soon, he figured it out, and said with a sneer, "Do you think I will be fooled by this low-level aggressive method?"

The two men were at war with each other, and the atmosphere became more and more dignified.

At this time, Yuan Hongye suddenly said: "Hong Bo, why don't we cooperate first, stop fighting for a while, and explore this secret place together?"

When Lin Starship's sneak attack was successful, she wanted to make a move.

But after observing that Lin Starship's blow did not cause much damage to Hong Bo, she put out the idea of ​​attacking.

Her task is arduous this time, and there must be no mistakes.

Regardless of this Lin starship or this Hong Bo, they all have cards on their bodies, which may lead to unexpected things.

and so.

If possible, it is best to cooperate.

"Cooperation?"

Hong Bo glanced into the depths of the Valley of Lost Souls, stroked his chin and sank into deep thought.

After a while, he nodded and said, "Sure, but before that, you have to tell me what's in that secret place."

He is wary.

This Yuan Hongye came prepared and knew a lot about the secret land.

But he was blessed with a heart, and came in with Yuan Hongye, knowing nothing about the situation here.

Even if we cooperate, we must first understand clearly.

As soon as these words came out, Luo Yan's heart moved, and he listened attentively.

He also only knew that this place was weird, but he didn't know anything else.

"I don't know what's in the secret place. I only know that there was a monk who lived in the secret place."

Yuan Hongye glanced at Hong Bo, and continued: "The ancestor of my Yuan family used to be a warrior who served the god-infant monk. Therefore, there are some records about the god-infant monk in the family's classics."

"The divine infant monk is called Mu Kun, who has the bloodline of Jianmu. He is not only powerful, but also extremely skilled in refining weapons. He is also a fourth-level refining master."

"And what it is best at is refining puppets."

"It is said that at the beginning, it was only a statue of his daughter, which was used to enshrine his thoughts."

"Later, he became an extremely powerful puppet master."

"These puppets in the valley should be the black and red puppets he refined."

"These black and red puppets are the kind of puppets that Senior Mu Kun was best at during his lifetime. They have extremely high spiritual intelligence, and their strength is comparable to that of a god-infant monk, and they can automatically repair themselves."

"It's a pity that the millennium time has become so weak."

Yuan Hongye shook her head, her tone full of regret.

In her family's classics, her family's ancestors once described that senior Mu Kun.

Namkun is the main combat force of the Chaos Demon Sect in the surrounding seas.

With a wave of his arms, hundreds of black and red puppets, which are comparable to divine infant monks, will surge out, covering the sky and covering the ground.

Then, black and red swept across.

Wherever it passed, the sea water rolled back, the earth capsized, and islands were wiped out.

The black and red light emitted by the black and red puppet at its peak is not as weak as it is now.

At that time, the black light possessed the mighty power to annihilate everything. A single shot of black light was enough to sink half of the island.

And the red light can even cover a large island, sealing off the entire island and locking the space, making the monks inside unable to move, and can only wait helplessly for death to come.

The pinnacle black and red puppet is a real war weapon, born for killing.

But now, even these qi refining monks can't do anything about it.

This gap is also the reason why Yuan Hongye feels regretful.

"You want Mu Kun's puppet technique?" Hong Bo's eyes flashed.

If he got the inheritance of a divine infant monk, why would he need Dingbo Mansion's skills?

"No, the ancestors of my family once served Senior Mu Kun, and got the [Devil God Swallowing the Sky] from Senior Mu Kun. But 300 years ago, there was an accident in my family, which caused this exercise to become incomplete."

"I'm here now to see if Senior Mu Kun has the complete Devil God Swallowing Heaven Scripture in his hands."

Yuan Hongye said lightly.

As the Demon God Swallowing the Heaven became incomplete, their four-armed demons also lost the way to advance their bloodlines.

But the bloodline cannot be advanced, and the limit of their four-armed demons is limited to the Yuan Dan realm.

and so.

Even if the probability of the existence of a complete Demon God Swallowing the Heaven Scripture in this secret place is only one in a billion, her four-armed demons will come over.

"Are you doing it for the exercises?"

Hong Bo frowned, and immediately murmured: "You four-armed demons, you two are not the only ones here?"

"Yes."

Yuan Hongye nodded, and said with a light smile, "Besides me, my second uncle is also here."

"He is a monk in the Yuandan Realm, and he is outside Wansen Island at this time."

"Although he can't come in, all of this is under his watch."
