Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

In Longhu Building, when Ji Qingyun just walked out of the room.

"Mom, I have already memorized the Holy Emperor Secret Art. Dad will take me to go fishing later. Will you let me go?" The child named Chen'er looked at his mother expectantly.

"Okay, okay, let's go together!" Shen Surong replied with a smile, stroking the child's forehead.

As soon as the voice fell, the majestic aura of the Holy Emperor Art came from outside the window, instantly filling the entire room. Shen Surong was shocked. With 90% strength, it seemed that today's enemy was not small and should not be underestimated. She said to the child calmly:

"Chen'er, let's play hide-and-seek with dad, okay? Dad won't be able to find us when he comes back!"

"Okay, okay, I love playing hide and seek the most!" The child jumped and capered with excitement.

Shen Surong took her son's hand and walked quickly towards Ji Qingyun's exclusive guest room in Longhu Building. This was a room reserved for the head of the Ji family when the Longhu Building was built. It was never used by the public because there was a secret room in this room, like a cage, surrounded by shackles set with the Holy Emperor Technique, which was difficult for outsiders to detect and open. This was an unintentional move by the previous generation of the head of the family, but he didn't expect it to be used today.

"Chen'er, you hide here. No matter what noise you hear outside, don't come out. Those are all tricks your father plays on you. You must wait until your father finds you, then you will be victorious!" Shen Surong earnestly instructed her son who walked into the secret room.

"Yeah, Mom, please ask Dad to find it quickly, I still have to go slack off!" The child has been obsessed with slacking off.

When Shen Surong settled her son and walked out of Longhu Building, Ji Qingyun's figure and breath were long gone.

The miserable scene outside Longhu Tower did not cause her any emotional fluctuations. She now urgently wanted to find her husband, the man who had made the city full of flowers for her, and the man who had dyed three thousand miles of blood for her.

Unfortunately, before she could take a step, she was blocked by five men in black and her way to find her husband. At first glance, the five men were covered in blood, and it was unclear whether the bright red blood was their own or someone else's. One of them only had one arm left. They all stared at Shen Surong like hungry wolves.

"Woman Ji, have a pleasant journey!"

Without any unnecessary words, the five men rushed towards Shen Surong.

There are thousands of willow branches hanging outside the building, the wind blows the willow branches and the blood-stained dust.

Inside the dark room, it was pitch black. Xiao Chener waited for a long time but didn't see his father. He was so anxious and scared that he didn't even remember his mother's instructions. He opened the door and ran out. He ran and shouted: "Dad, Dad, you didn't find me, you lost, take me to go fishing."

I called for a long time but no one answered.

The child walked out of Longhu Building, and the moment he opened the door, he saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.

Four people were floating in the air. On one side were three men in black, and it was unclear whether they were dead or alive. Their facial features could not be distinguished, only blood. On the other side was a woman dressed in a purple and red dress. The red color was very strange, dripping. She was vomiting blood, her hair was disheveled, and her eyes were dull.

"mom!"

A call seemed to awaken the confused woman, but with just one glance, just one look, before she had time to react, to be surprised, to worry, to miss, to regret, to linger, she fell into the Mirror Lake.

Of the three people who fell to the ground, two were dead and one was dying.

The little boy ran to the Mirror Lake with tears in his eyes, calling for his mother. At this time, two people came from a distance. One was Helian Xiaoyue, the head of the Shadow Hall, who had a cross scar on his forehead. His face was lifeless and the blood at the corner of his mouth had not yet dried. The other was a masked man in white, with disordered breathing, his hand on his chest, and coughing softly.

There were only two men in black left by the lake. One of them jumped and grabbed the little boy who was running towards the lake, while the other walked towards Helian Xiaoyue.

He clenched his fist, pressed it against his chest, bowed and said: "Master, Shen Surong fell into Mirror Lake and was seriously injured and dying. Her life or death is unknown. Except for that child, everyone in Longhu Tower was killed."

Helian Xiaoyue nodded slightly and asked: "How many people do we have left?"

"Except for me and the Ninth Hall Master Han Suo, there is also the Sixth Hall Master Xie Cheng who is seriously injured. The rest of the army has been wiped out."

While the man in black was reporting, he was thinking in his heart: "Where are the others? Is it that only the chief has returned?" He was just thinking about it in his heart, but did not dare to have any doubts, let alone ask.

"Are there any clues about the Qiankun Jade Pendant here?" Helian Xiaoyue asked in a deep voice.

"Huh? No, we didn't find it," the man in black replied with a little surprise.

When the subordinate was reporting to Helian Xiaoyue, the little boy bit the hand that was pulling him, broke free from the man in black, and ran to the lake.

"Mommy mommy!"

The man in black then reached out to grab the little boy, but missed. He looked up and saw that the little boy was already in the arms of an old Taoist wearing a white robe and holding a whisk.

"Let me go, let me go!" the little boy shouted and struggled.

"Who are you? Give the child to me!" Han Suo, the Ninth Hall Master who failed to catch the child, shouted loudly.

Helian Xiaoyue and the masked man in white heard the sound and quickly came to a position five feet away from the old Taoist priest, and quietly used their own skills to detect the old Taoist priest.

After a few breaths, several people used all their strength to circulate their protective Qi, as if facing a powerful enemy, because the old Taoist priest was surrounded by celestial energy, which made them feel like a cloud of fog. Although they could see his face clearly, they could not tell through his cultivation level. Although he was close at hand, he felt like he was far away.

"May I ask what your Taoist name is, Master?" Helian Xiaoyue asked respectfully while bowing.

The old Taoist priest ignored the crowd and stroked the forehead of the struggling little boy with his whisk, and the little boy fell into a deep sleep.

"Wild cranes and idle clouds are lawless and without a sound; watching the stars with a cup of tea is intentional and without intention!"

"I came for this child. The way of heaven is infinite, and life on earth is like a dream!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Helian Xiaoyue and the masked man in white wanted to use their internal energy to stop the old Taoist priest. The old Taoist priest swept his whisk backwards, and a soft white light enveloped everyone. Everyone was in a dream, and a fairy voice floated over: "A conspiracy, a trace of greed, tainted the ancestral shadow, and ruined the Taoist tradition. It seems that there is unlimited vitality, but in fact it is a mixed blessing!"

A few months later, the Ji family in Zhongzhou announced that the head of the family, Ji Qingyun, accidentally touched an unknown restriction when passing by Huilong Mountain, and all the people accompanying him disappeared!

In order to prevent the influence of the unknown ban from expanding, the Ji family decided to set up the Holy Emperor Demon Subduing Array on the outskirts of Huilong Mountain, and sent a large number of Ji family members to block Huilong Mountain!

A family cannot be without a head for a day, so the elders of the Ji family jointly recommended Ji Qingyun's second brother Ji Qingfeng to be the head of the family.

The news about this matter spread like wildfire in the world of cultivation, and both the good and evil sides sent a large number of personnel to investigate Huilong Mountain.

The final result is: there is indeed the sound of a dragon roaring in Huilong Mountain, the 800 willows surrounding Jinghu Lake have disappeared without a trace, the water of Jinghu Lake has become shapeless and unpredictable, huge waves rise without wind, and there seems to be the sound of a woman sobbing on every rainy night.
