I am a living immortal.

This wedding reception made the whole Li'an much more lively.

In a restaurant, a slightly plump middle-aged man and a tall and strong Confucian scholar frowned as they looked at the long wedding procession, although they didn't know what was going on.

Something unusual was also discovered.

"Brother, did you notice?"

"Yes, there is something strange, Red Evil? No, it doesn't look like it."

The two men were the strange brothers. They followed the portrait of the fleeing monster all the way to Li An. They could also get the information that Su Mu could get.

Now the entire Demon Slaying Division is in a state of panic.

Only two-thirds of the first volume of the Yiquan Book, "Legends of Monsters", has been collected so far, and the self-eye-opening demon dragon that served as the title page has still disappeared.

The remaining one-third are also difficult to deal with.

When they heard that the monster jumped out of the painting to protect the house, they knew that this man named Shen Qiu might have many lost monster portraits in his hands.

So the two of them came over to try their luck.

But Shen Qiu was really a strange person. He never left the main door or the back door, and he didn't need servants to bring him meals. It had been several days, and no one even knew what he looked like.

The two of them didn't think of forcing their way in.

But firstly, the two men didn't know how many portraits Shen Qiu had in his hands. If a fight really broke out, it would be common to demolish a courtyard. If they damaged someone's paintings, they could afford to pay compensation, but it was unnecessary.

Even though Qian Fu is rich, he can't do this.

This painting is worth his entire food building.

So the two helpless people could only come to the restaurant to discuss it.

"Do you want to go and take a look?" Ruan Chengji asked.

"Brother, you really don't mind being so busy." Qian Fu shook his head and didn't want to care about it. He picked up a piece of shrimp dumpling and put it in his mouth, his eyes lit up.

"But judging by their presence, they should be a local tycoon. Perhaps we can use their connections to get in touch with Shen Qiu."

Hearing this, Qian Fu stopped chewing, looked at his senior brother, swallowed the shrimp dumpling and said, "Hey, Master, if he wants to live in seclusion, then he can just stay in the mountains. What did he promise to do with the Demon Slayer Bureau? We have to do the hard work without complaint."

"There's nothing I can do. That's a favor owed to a big boss."

"I know. If it weren't for the boss's favor, given the master's character, he was already very considerate by not kicking anyone down the mountain that day." Qian Fu tasted the other dishes and found them unremarkable.

"It seems that the debt is owed not to the Demon Slayer Division, but to the current emperor."

"Then I don't know."

"So are we still going?" Ruan Chengji asked.

"go."

"But we have to make some preparations. After all, I think that monster is not simple."

...............

Wang family.

At this moment, all the members of the Wang family came out to greet the guests, with smiles on their faces, not showing any impatience at all. The guests were all from wealthy families.

Logically speaking, as a wealthy family in Li'an, the Wang family does not need to do this; it is enough to save face.

But since he was marrying a girl from the Heng family this time, it was not an exaggeration to attach great importance to it. Everyone only knew that the Heng family was extremely wealthy, but only those who had married into this family knew that the Prince Cheng's Mansion was behind the Heng family.

As the money bag of Prince Cheng, it can be said that not many people in the entire Yan Dynasty dare to offend the Heng family. What's more, the old man of the Heng family is at least a second-rank official in the court. Although it is a nominal position, it is still a great achievement.

In the eyes of others, the Wang family is no different from a local rich family, and the girl from the Heng family is considered to be marrying down.

There can't be any accidents.

Soon a servant came to report that the young master had returned with his bride.

A lively atmosphere immediately arose, with the sound of gongs and drums.

“But the dogs on both sides of the road all started barking at the sedan chair.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Seeing this, a hint of displeasure flashed in the eyes of the head of the Wang family. He glanced at the servant, and soon the dogs were driven away.

However, the girl from the Heng family, who was sitting upright in the wedding sedan in the procession, felt cold at the moment.

"Xichun, do you feel cold?"

The dowry maid named Xichun immediately stepped forward and said, "Miss, it's very sunny outside. We're just around the corner from the Wang family. Perhaps you're too nervous."

"Really? Maybe I'm overthinking it."

In the dim sedan, he didn't even notice the bride. Two handprints quietly appeared on his fair neck, and the skin was slightly pressed down. It seemed that a pair of hands were strangling the bride's neck.

It made his breathing a little difficult.

Hengwan didn't take it seriously, thinking that the space in the car was too cramped, so she felt stuffy.

I don't know why, but the sedan chair felt chilly. I guess I was just nervous. After all, she and Wang Hao, the son of the Wang family, were a happy match, and today they finally got married.

Thinking of this, Heng Wan couldn't help but chuckle.

It was this laugh that made the temperature in the sedan drop a few degrees again, and the handprint on the neck became even heavier.

Heng Wan suddenly felt dizzy and groggy. When a hand reached out and held hers, she was startled by the temperature of the hand.

"Wan'er, are you okay?"

The familiar voices came and went, and the lively atmosphere made my brain a mess. I felt as if a heavy burden was pressing on me despite my weight and light feet.

Heng Wan knew she couldn't just collapse like that, so she forced herself to stay calm and replied, "I'm fine. I might be a little overwhelmed by the climate, but I'll be fine in a while."

Wang Hao held her wrist tightly.

"Don't hold on."

"rest assured."

The conversation between the two was very quiet. When Heng Wan was welcoming the person out of the sedan chair, she suddenly felt her neck tighten again and cold sweat broke out. As she walked into the Wang family step by step, she could no longer hear any sound and her ears were filled with buzzing.

The surrounding environment seemed to have changed, and the person holding her hand seemed to have changed as well.

But Hengwan knew nothing about all this.

She stepped over the unknown threshold, she stepped over the dark blue brazier, her feet were wet and sticky. Heng Wan's consciousness was already in a trance and she ignored all these strange things. She just wanted to complete these rituals quickly.

If anyone else was here they would have noticed.

The whole world was in black and white, with only Heng Wan's red robe and the blood-stained road under her feet.

The person who was leading her forward was no longer Wang Hao, the son of the Wang family, but a young man wearing a white robe and looking cold. This young man had pale skin, was skinny, had sunken cheeks, and no white in his eyes.

At this moment, he was limping and leading Hengwan to an unknown place.

Just as Heng Wan was about to be taken through the last dark door, a flash of purple lightning cut through the gray and white.

"Boom!"

Thunder drives away evil spirits.

The gloomy young man had a ferocious look on his face, with green teeth and bone spurs growing out of his back, forming a tail.

With an angry roar, there was a faint sound of demonic energy mixed in with the thick resentment.

But the thunder with the power of heaven didn't care about you and still fell, hitting the young man heavily, breaking one of his arms.

The young man felt that he was no match for his opponent and glared at him fiercely.

Then all the cold energy entered Heng Wan's body.

The talisman that was blooming with thunder in the sky gradually disappeared after losing its target.
