ardly, Xiao Qiao. I just feel a little queasy here." My brother explained hastily."What does it mean to feel queasy" I'd never heard him describe the unknown like that before.I've seen it all, from br...Rustic brick and white steps, a cool and serene atmosphere.
In the vast courtyard, not even a single disciple on patrol could be seen.
The flames in the low courtyard lanterns flickered vigorously, a stark contrast to yesterday's tranquility.
Chong Mo's temper was directly proportional to his abilities. Now that he was unburdened, the mortal realm seemed like a place where he could run rampant and do as he pleased.
He strode right into the little gate, I couldn't hold him back.
"Your house, it's empty this early" He glanced at the courtyard and sneered: "Didn't you hear that evil spirit following you back, scaring everyone away, did you"
"Don't talk nonsense! How could the Shen family be scared away by a ghost!" I glared at him, standing on the corridor behind the door with some puzzlement.
The Shen family is a traditional clan, with the homes of inner disciples located here, and outer disciples also practicing their cultivation here.
Such a large area, besides installing surveillance, also needs disciples to take turns guarding at night.
This is to ensure safety, strengthen the sense of belonging among disciples, and prevent some disciples with ulterior motives from engaging in dishonest or criminal activities.
During the peaceful Taiping era, night patrols were just routine. There were always disciples ready to answer the door at home, and two disciples patrolled the front yard in groups.
It's impossible that the door was kicked in and no one came to check.
“Something must have happened at home, I’d better go see.” I hurried towards the living room.
As I stepped onto the marble steps, a sense of unease crept over me.
It is winter now, why is the moon so bright and the stars so few
Besides the darkened corners, almost half of the Shen family's home was bathed in a layer of moonlight.
A faint smell of burning emanated from the folding screen leading to the back door in the hall.
My heart pounded in my chest. I drew out the Purple Cloud Ruyi, holding it tightly, and carefully circled around.
The butler fell to the ground, his mobile phone scattered beside him, and a burnt-out lantern lay nearby.
"Dead" Chongmo didn't know when he drew his long weapon, carrying it on his shoulder as if still a little excited.
"Don't jinx it! I still have breath in me!" I touched my neck, where the pulse was still beating.
But the butler was like a man drained of his soul, utterly limp and lifeless. No matter how hard he was patted, he wouldn't wake up.
Have you heard the news
"Could it be that the vengeful spirit chasing us arrived at the Shen residence first" I furrowed my brow.
"Those evil spirits are obviously chasing you. Do they even know the way Why don't you come visit first" Chong Mo scoffed, "It must be that I've provoked something, and it's here for revenge."
"What are we going to do now... I bet there isn't a single awake person left in the Shen family... Jiang Qiyun went to the Upper Realm, and the Black and White Impermanence haven't arrived either—" I was very anxious.
It's not because I'm afraid, but because I don't have the ability to protect so many people!
The entire Shen family is now in a state of utter chaos. I must get everyone together, otherwise if something happens to anyone, I won't be able to help.
"Chongmo, you go and patrol the surroundings. Bring all the unconscious people to the main hall and side rooms in the backyard." I told Chongmo.
"What!" Chong Mo glared angrily, "What do these people have to do with me!"
I had no time to retort when a tremendous roar echoed from outside!
Splash—
Like a torrential downpour.
I rushed to the window and found that the moon in the sky was blocked by a huge curtain of water, as if looking through the glass of a bathroom, the sky was not clear.
The waters fell, a hazy white light hovering above the lake.
Vast and boundless, hazy like gauze.
It looks like a giant, plump, transparent jellyfish.
Bang—
Shun Mo crushed the door frame, wielding his sword and charging out!
"Tao Wu! Come!" he roared. The ferocious beast that had been lounging outside the mountain gate leaped up, shrinking considerably in size to become Chong Mo's mount, carrying him into the air.
I never knew there were any strange creatures in the Shen family's lake, this must be the manager of the mirage pearl chasing after me!
As the mist cleared, above the lake in the distance, a figure cloaked in black stood facing Shumo.
Judging by her physique, she must be a woman. Chong Mo here is gritting his teeth with hatred.
"Mountain Peach! Are you so eager to come and die!"
The demon, Shan Tao's cold smile widened: " ... You cling to life in this place, hoping these mortals will protect you You've been wounded, your Sinking Pearl damaged! Do you think you can still escape!"
I'm so frustrated, Chongmo is really a ticking time bomb!
You say I've stirred up something vengeful — it's you, my ancestor, seeking retribution!
>
No wonder the Ziran Pearl shed tears of blood when I broke through the barrier with the Purple Sky Ruyi.
I was both angry and anxious. This situation left me no room to intervene. I better quickly get my family together.
When the Black and White Marshals arrive, please ask them to form a protective circle around the courtyard.
This is a really tough job, I pulled several people and was panting, luckily the seven gods and eight emperors brought the underworld soldiers over.
"Little Empress, you're sweating buckets~," Bai Wu used his sleeve to cover his mouth and floated beside me, not showing any intention of lending a hand.
"Seven Gods, could you help me take a picture"
It's not that difficult to capture spirits, is it
Bai Wu Chang raised his hand and pointed to a copper bell hanging under the eaves of a house. It was used to ward off some basic yin energy attacks.
"The Shen family's defenses are everywhere, even Yin wind can't affect anyone here~~" Bai Wu Chang waved his hand, and several yin soldiers behind him went to try and "drag" the disciples of the Shen family with the Yin wind.
"Oh my, it seems that Your Majesty the Emperor is absent again~~~ Who is riding on Taowu up there" Bai Wu Chang leaned against a pillar, watching with an air of amusement.
"That idiot, Chong Mo!" I wanted to grit my teeth and swallow him whole. I was actually a little grateful he'd come to my aid, but now this whole mess was his fault!
If I hadn't been unable to beat him, I would have fought him.
"Didn't expect the beast Taowu to be so obedient... Heard it caused quite a ruckus back in the day, tsk tsk~~" Bai Wu Chang raised an eyebrow in interest.
Hei Wu Chang replied, "This is like attracting similar things together, isn't it You probably live quite comfortably in the Demon Realm."
"Hmm~ Maybe so~. Your Highness, this is just a fight between the subordinates of the Southern Heaven Demon Emperor and the Northern Heaven Dark Emperor. It has nothing to do with us. Don't get angry and help that demon god named Chong Mo~. "
You really think highly of me, do you Am I supposed to jump up on a lotus flower and become cannon fodder
I can't accompany them to the theater. I hurried to the maids' quarters to check if anyone was missing.
Chongmo and his rival, Shantao, were fighting tooth and nail in the courtyard.
The lake water was churned by their aura, waves crashing and rolling onto the Shen family's helipad.
“Master of the house, Master!” The sudden shout startled me.
Chen Yan was by a small bamboo grove, carrying her unconscious senior sister out.
"How could you be so carefree!" I shouted across the colonnade, my voice carrying over the small artificial pond in the middle.
"I don't know either... My senior and junior brothers and sisters just fainted all of a sudden, ah—"
Perhaps our voices were too loud, attracting the attention of those fighting on the lake's surface.
Suddenly, a blast of energy came crashing in, shattering a large hole in the wall!
Gravel flew, debris turned to dust.
I watched in horror as Chenyan was swallowed by the smoke and dust!
"Smoke Screen——!!"
I leaped over the fence and ran, smoke rising up that choked my eyes.
"Cough cough cough... Chenyan! Chenyan, are you alright! Chenyan—" I brushed away the dust.
Underneath a scattering of broken stone tiles, Chong Mo sat there, a hint of surprise in his crimson eyes as he stared blankly at Chen Yan who had been knocked over by him.if we walk further away." I replied.He let out a helpless sigh and pinched my face, saying, "Mu Xiaoqiao, do you have to be so kind""This isn't about being kind or not, it's about trying to save them...
