"Stay here to fight the demons?"

Yuxi stared at everyone and asked in a deep voice: "But do you know why they appear?"

Pei Qinhu scratched his head, bewildered: "How should I know this?"

Yu Xi nodded slightly and revealed the truth: "These demons were summoned by your leader Ming Shiyin."

He paused and added, "Although I don't know the specific means..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the three people changed and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Pei Qinhu shouted angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Yang Yuhuan gently advised: "Sir, please be careful with your words."

Gongsun Li was even more emotional, and defended Ming Shiyin: "The leader has been working hard for the happiness of Chang'an! He took in homeless orphans and built Yaotian to provide us with a shelter."

"He taught us that everyone has the right to pursue happiness! Yaotian is the symbol of peace and prosperity in his mind."

"He led us to seek justice, in order to turn the world into a truly prosperous one."

"For the sake of justice, we eliminate corrupt officials to protect the peace of Chang'an!"

After Gongsun Li said so many words in one breath, he stared at Yuxi breathlessly, obviously not trusting Yuxi's words at all.

Seeing this, Yuxi could only persuade: "I feel that you have all been brainwashed...you want to turn the world into a prosperous era."

"Ming Shiyin...does he want to change the dynasty?"

Yang Yuhuan shook her head gently, her voice firm: "He doesn't pursue power."

Yuxi frowned and asked, "If he is not pursuing power, why does he do this? What is he pursuing?"

Yuxi glanced at everyone and asked, "Have you ever thought about the meaning behind his actions?"

Pei Qinhu took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with determination: "Because he is pursuing justice!"

Yu Xi seemed speechless at this answer, frowning: "Pursuing justice? Then why did he plan the riot in Guan City half a year ago? Su Lie was framed because of this, and the Great Wall and Qianku City were attacked by demons many times. How can his behavior be justice?"

Pei Qinhu did not flinch and looked directly into Yuxi's eyes: "You said that these things were done by Teacher Ming, do you have any evidence?"

Yuxi was speechless for a moment, feeling powerless in her heart: "Yes, I have no evidence. If you don't believe me, there is nothing I can do."

Pei Qinhu's eyes flashed with anger: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being rude!"

Faced with Pei Qinhu's threat, Yuxi was speechless, but felt a little uneasy in her heart.

He looked up at the purple sky, and an inexplicable worry surged in his heart.

Shangguan Wan'er looked at all this and shook her head secretly.

He said to Yuxi: "It's useless to argue with this group of people. When Lord Di finds the empress and explains everything, the true face of Ming Shiyin can be revealed."

Yuxi didn't say anything, but his eyes revealed a complex emotion.

Yuxi silently analyzed the situation in her mind: "Ming Shiyin intends to stop Di Renjie from going to Fengshan Terrace. However, can Pei Qinhu and others really stop him with their strength alone?"

An inexplicable worry surged in his heart: "And with Ming Shiyin's means, if he really wants to attack Di Renjie on the road, then Di Renjie will not be able to escape. But if Di Renjie dies, what will happen? ...Wu Zetian loses a minister?"

His mind was filled with questions: "Since Ming Shiyin possessed such powerful abilities, why didn't he take action against Di Renjie earlier, instead of waiting until the Empress's Fengshan ceremony? Is there another hidden story behind this?"

Yuxi's thoughts were tangled like a tangled mess, and she finally decided: "Perhaps, the only way to get an answer is to meet Ming Shiyin in person."

After making up her mind, Yuxi decided to pursue Di Renjie and find out the truth.

Shangguan Wan'er saw Yuxi was about to leave, so she asked softly, "Yuxi, where are you going?"

Yuxi answered without hesitation: "I want to help Di Renjie. I'm worried that he might be in danger on the way."

"You should have seen that I know how to heal."

Shangguan Wan'er immediately responded: "Then go quickly, Li Yuanfang and I will block them here!"

Yuxi nodded and then asked, "Where is the Fengshan Terrace?"

Shangguan Wan'er pointed in a direction: "It's in the south of Chang'an City. Just keep going straight and you will arrive."

Following Shangguan Wan'er's guidance, Yuxi quickly left and headed for the Fengshan Terrace.

Along the way, I secretly rejoiced in my heart: "Fortunately, the levels of these demons are not high, otherwise I really can't leave Li Yuanfang and the others without worry."

Yuxi walked along the south of Chang'an City, and soon after, she unexpectedly met Di Renjie.

Di Renjie was pacing back and forth in an open space, not knowing what he was doing.

Yuxi asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"

"Aren't you going to Fengchan Terrace?"

Di Renjie smiled bitterly: "I am trapped. There seems to be a strange formation here that binds me like a chessboard."

Yuxi frowned: "Formation? Where is it?"

Di Renjie shook his head and said, "It is invisible. You can't see it, but you can feel its presence."

Yuxi was skeptical and tried to move a few steps, but bumped into an invisible wall of air. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's really invisible."

"Purification."

However, even after chanting the purification spell, he still couldn't break through this invisible barrier.

Yuxi asked in confusion: "How wide is this formation?"

Di Renjie took a deep breath and said, "I'm afraid it has covered the entire Chang'an City."

Yuxi was shocked: "The whole Chang'an city?!"

After thinking for a while, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "Since we can't break the formation by walking, then let's try to break it by force!"

Di Renjie showed a worried look: "Break the formation by force?"

Yuxi tightly gripped the knife and slashed a star blade at the air wall. The trajectory of the star blade directly cut a deep groove on the bluestone slab, but the air wall still stood firm.

Seeing this, Yuxi asserted, “Martial arts can get through, but they prevent people from passing.”

I couldn't help but wonder: "Is there really nothing we can do?"

Di Renjie's deep eyes revealed his thoughts: "Every formation has flaws. If you find the core of the formation, you can break it."

He pondered for a moment, and finally recalled something: "This formation covers Chang'an, and the center of the formation must be in the core of the city."

"The heart of Chang'an is Ganye Temple."

Suddenly, he realized, "Could it be that the chess piece that hit the carriage is the center of the magic circle?"

Having made up his mind, Di Renjie prepared to turn back.

Suddenly, a strange sneer echoed in the air.

They looked in the direction of the sound and saw Ming Shiyin floating leisurely in the air.

Ming Shiyin sneered, "It's useless to struggle. You are doomed to be unable to escape."

Di Renjie shouted angrily: "Ming Shiyin! You finally showed up!"

Ming Shiyin said nonchalantly: "You are too nosy."

Di Renjie was so angry that he waved his hand and threw out a command arrow.

Ming Shiyin looked at him with disdain and aimed his arrow straight at his body, but it turned into pieces of paper and drifted away with the wind.

Seeing this, Yuxi asked in a puzzled voice: "Isn't it a real person?"

Di Renjie seemed to have experienced this kind of magic.

Di Renjie sneered: "Is it this paper puppet technique again..."

He shook his head mockingly: "This kind of petty trick really complements you. You will always hide in the dark, like a rat in the gutter!"

Ming Shiyin's face darkened: "You are about to die, yet you still dare to be so arrogant."

Before he finished speaking, his figure disappeared in a flash, and behind Di Renjie, a sky full of small white chess pieces appeared.

Seeing this, Yuxi shouted anxiously: "Di Renjie, be careful behind you!"

However, Di Renjie failed to dodge in time, and when the white pieces touched his body, they exploded one by one like explosives.

In an instant, his back was blown into a bloody mess, a horrible sight.

Upon seeing this, Yuxi hurriedly used [Treatment], and Di Renjie's injuries recovered in a moment.

Seeing this strange scene, Ming Shiyin's face turned ugly and he looked at Yuxi coldly.

Ming Shiyin said in a cold tone: "You are an anomaly..."

His gaze was as piercing as ice. With just one glance, Yuxi felt a chill, as if she was attacked by a cold winter wind.

Yuxi smiled bitterly in her heart: "Don't look at me... I'm just an assistant."

"Please, go deal with the shooter first..."

When Di Renjie saw that his injuries had healed, he stood in front of Yuxi without hesitation.

Di Renjie angrily accused: "You bastard! How many people have you implicated for your little personal vendetta? How many innocent people have you killed!"

Ming Shiyin's expression instantly distorted under Di Renjie's accusation, and there was a cold light flashing in his eyes, as if he saw through Di Renjie.

He waved his hand, and large pieces of black chess pieces rained down on Di Renjie with great momentum.

Seeing this, Yuxi subconsciously reached out to stop them, but the black chess pieces pierced through his arms like ghosts, bringing him severe pain and burning sensation, as if charcoal fire was burning his flesh and bones.

"Oh... Shit!"

There was fear in Yuxi's eyes. Her arms were covered with shocking holes. She kept repeating "heal" in her heart.

But the densely packed chess pieces were like a violent storm, leaving them with nowhere to escape, and every moment was an agony for the two.

The two men had no time to dodge and were unfortunately hit by the chess pieces. A sizzling sound like barbecue could instantly be heard from their bodies, as if every inch of their skin was being cruelly torn apart.

Ming Shiyin's voice was cold and cruel: "Pain? The pain you have experienced is insignificant compared to what I have experienced!"

His eyes revealed endless anger and sorrow, "I lost not only the home I created with my own hands, but also my brothers and my loved ones!"

Ming Shiyin's anger surged like a raging tide and he continued to roar: "Chang'an took everything from me, I want it back tenfold!"

Di Renjie dodged and retorted: "Chang'an and the Empress will not fall into your control easily..."

However, before he could finish his words, he was overwhelmed by a sharp pain.

Ming Shiyin laughed sarcastically and said, "Do you think my real goal is to control the empress, control Chang'an, and thus control the highest power on the continent?"

The voice became louder: "You are wrong. I have no interest in power. Chang'an is just a symbol of power. It is gorgeous but fragile."

Finally, he slowly asked, "Do you want to know what my real purpose is?"

But no one answered.

Under the bombardment of chess pieces, Yuxi and Di Renjie were like prey trapped in a sea of ​​fire, with nowhere to escape.

Yuxi gritted her teeth and silently chanted "healing" in an attempt to resist the purgatory-like torture.

Not far away, Ming Shiyin was admiring their painful struggles like a devil, as if he was enjoying the pleasure of being superior to others.
