Leaving Chaozhou City, the closer you get to Cuilan City, the more beggars you will see on the streets.

The once busy market is now deserted, and the shops on both sides of the street are dilapidated, with doors and windows closed. The people are ragged, pale and thin, shivering in the cold wind. Some of them have lost their homes and can only hide in dilapidated temples to avoid the cold. This scene is in sharp contrast to the prosperity of Chaozhou City.

The luxurious carriage that Shi Yaojue arranged for Li became the target of public criticism at this time. The people along the street were staring at it covetously, as if they would swarm over it in the next second.

Li Liao opened the car curtain and looked at the scene on the street. He asked Wei Shiliu in confusion, "This place is not far from Chaozhou, why is it like this?"

Wei Shiliu sighed deeply and watched the refugees on the street. "A few years ago, the scene here was similar to that of Chaozhou City, but the floods in the past two years destroyed most of it. We finally had some time to breathe this year, but we encountered pirates again. In addition, the harsh policies of the court increased the taxes in the southern region, and we have the scene before us."

"If Chaozhou City had not had the support of the master and Shi Shizi, I'm afraid it would have fallen into this state long ago."

Li lowered the car curtain in annoyance. Every time she saw this situation, she couldn't help but laugh at herself. She didn't know whether it was lucky or unfortunate that she was taken to the Shadow of Death. If she hadn't been taken back to the organization, she would have been one of those who starved to death on the streets. But Shadow of Death was not a good place to belong. It seemed like she had never been lucky in her life.

"Master, control your emotions!" Tanghulu realized that something was wrong with his master and hurriedly reminded him.

After hearing what Tanghulu said, Li stopped thinking about it and kept adjusting his breathing.

"Miss, hold on tight. I'm going to speed up." Wei Shiliu looked depressedly at the densely packed refugee gathering place ahead. If he stopped there, he was afraid that even the people would be eaten up.

The whip was raised high, and the horse ran forward quickly in pain.

But how could people who were forced into a desperate situation give up this opportunity? They pushed forward desperately. The former companions became the executioners who took their lives. They tried to use their friends' lives to force the carriage to stop.

Wei Shiliu cursed. He knew that these refugees were desperate, but he never thought they would be so desperate. The carriage was moving too fast and they could not dodge in time. Several people were pushed to the ground by the people behind them and died under the horses' hooves in a short time.

Seeing this, Wei Wu no longer hid his true intentions and covered his face to help stop the refugees, and killed them with his sword when necessary. However, there were too many refugees, and the carriage was shaken by the impact. Wei Shiliu's whip fell to the ground, and the speed of the carriage was greatly restricted. Wei Wu also suffered many injuries.

The clothes of both men were torn by the refugees. If they killed one, a whole group would come. If this continued, they would all die here.

Seeing that some refugees were about to climb onto the carriage, dark spiritual power burst out from the window, and several people close to the carriage were immediately blown away.

"Miss!" Wei Shiliu turned around and saw Li standing on the roof of the carriage with red eyes. Before he could say anything, he felt someone pulling his belt.

Wei Shiliu quickly grabbed his pants and said, “%&%¥!”

Li felt that the noise in his head was very annoying. He looked at the crowd that was still trying to rush up, and without thinking, he slapped them in the air. Dark spiritual power came out, and the people in the front didn't even have time to feel the pain, and they turned into ashes directly.

“Ahhhhhh!” The crowd suddenly became chaotic. Those who saw this scene were so scared that they wanted to retreat, but the people behind them were trying their best to squeeze forward.

It's so annoying, let's just kill them all. This sentence kept echoing in Li's mind, and the next moment his hand gestures flew.

"The netherworld is a fog, it takes away your five senses and plunders your seven senses. Follow my command and bind them!"

As the last word fell from Li's lips, the fingertips that pinched the seal also completed the last movement, and the surrounding air began to fluctuate slightly. Black mist formed around Li and quickly dissipated in all directions according to Li's command.

Those who were not affected by the fog at the scene saw a scene that was enough to shock them for the rest of their lives.

Nearly a thousand refugees nearby were held in place, their eyes wide open with lifeless expressions. Some of them roared, some howled, but no sound was made. Only the panic-stricken expressions on their faces could be seen.

Only then did they understand what Li had just meant by "taking away the five senses and plundering the seven senses".

The scarlet in Li's eyes was suppressed by the black mist. He slowly raised his head like a puppet and muttered to himself: "Hehe, does the surveillance your master mentioned include my death?"

Wei Wu and Wei Shiliu looked at each other. They knew that Li was talking to the people in the dark. There were many people watching in the dark. If they had helped just now, the situation would not be so critical. However, they were just hiding in the dark to perform the so-called "watching" duties and did not want to come out to help.

"Why does everyone want me dead? What should I do? I'm not dead." Li said as he burst into laughter.

But this laughter, coupled with the hundreds of silent puppets around it who were frozen in place with fear on their faces, was creepy no matter how you looked at it.

Blood flowed from the corners of Li's mouth. This was the first time she used a spell on such a large scale. It would be unreasonable if she didn't suffer some backlash.

Wei Shiliu was the first to notice that something was wrong with Li's condition. When he saw the person staggering, he immediately reacted and flew over to catch the person falling from the roof of the car.

“Little Princess!!”

A steady stream of blood flowed out from the corner of Li's mouth, and Li uttered the word "go" with difficulty.

"We don't need the carriage anymore, let's retreat first." Wei Shiliu left a word and used his lightness skills to carry Li away.

Wei Wu looked at the horse that had several pieces of flesh bitten off and was lying on the ground. He picked up the bag in the carriage and quickly rushed towards Wei Shiliu.

Not long after they left, the refugees regained consciousness. After seeing the horses on the ground, they forgot their fear and scrambled to grab them.

By the stream, Wei Shiliu quickly gave Li a needle to stop the bleeding. After Li vomited blood several times, Wei Shiliu began to panic, and his hand holding the needle couldn't stop shaking, "How could this happen?"

Wei Wu asked worriedly, "What's going on?"

"I can't stop it. I can't stop the bleeding." Wei Shiliu was so anxious that his eyes turned red.

After regaining consciousness, Li tugged at Wei Shiliu's sleeve, and while he was bending over, he reached out and snatched the silver needle from his hand and quickly stabbed it into his heart. The speed was so fast that Wei Shiliu didn't have time to react.

"Little Princess!" Wei Shiliu was startled, remembering Li's crazy look just now, and was afraid that she would end her life before she could figure it out.

Li waved his hands to indicate that he was fine. With the help of silver needles and spiritual power to regulate his breathing, the bleeding stopped faster.

But the bleeding stopped and the patient became weak.

Li returned the silver needle to Wei Shiliu and leaned against the tree weakly. "Everything happened for a reason. I think your master will understand that I arrived one day late."

"Little princess, stop talking nonsense and have a good rest. We will leave tomorrow." Wei Shiliu sighed deeply. He knew that someone was watching him, but he still didn't care whether he understood or not.

"I'll go make a fire." Wei Wu felt relieved when he saw that Li's eyes had returned to their former dark color.
