The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

Shen Huaichuan and Wan Nian returned to their small courtyard, which was empty.

Wan Nian first smelled the blood in the courtyard, and he followed the scent to find bloodstains not far from where Yun Yici had been meditating.

Wan Nian said urgently, "Xiao Ci was meditating here before, this must be her blood."

"Could it be that some demon has sneaked out to ambush her?"

Shen Huaichuan looked up without saying a word, instead continuing to walk slowly forward in the direction of the bloodstains.

The imagery in the courtyard remained unchanged from when he and Wannian left.

With Yun Yici's comprehension, even if he doesn't grasp the domain in a short time, he won't end up with nothing.

Wan Nian was almost in tears when Shen Huaichuan said, "We should already be in her territory by now."

Having lost his spiritual power, his senses were not as sharp as before, and it took him three steps to realize that there was no wind here.

Yun Yici's domain is very ingenious. She did not create a new domain to supersede the existing space, but rather integrated all things into the formless.

Having a low profile is an advantage, as it can lure the enemy in deep; the only question is how lethal it is.

Seeing that Shen Huaichuan had hit the nail on the head, Yun Yici, who was hiding in the domain, also walked out generously.

Wan Nian was dumbfounded, only snapping out of his daze when he saw the void in front of him suddenly distort and then Yun Yici suddenly appear.

He exclaimed, "Wow, that's amazing! I didn't notice a thing!"

Originally, Yun Yici wanted to hide, so he had Qian Sui create illusions for him, but this could not escape the eyes of Wan Nian, who was skilled in illusions.

But Wan Nian hadn't noticed anything at all and was still worried that something had happened to Yun Yici.

Shen Huaichuan couldn't see Yun Yici's expression, but he could tell from her somewhat dull and slow steps that something must have happened when he and Wan Nian left.

After a moment's thought, he found an excuse to send Wan Nian away before asking Yun Yici, "What happened when we left just now?"

Yun Yici knew that the blood on the ground couldn't be hidden from him, so she made up an excuse: "I was so angry and upset that I spat out that blood and all my frustration disappeared."

Shen Huaichuan's eyebrows twitched slightly. The way this woman attacked his lower body so fiercely this morning didn't seem like she had any worries or resentments.

However, Yun Yici didn't want to talk about it, and he didn't want to force her.

Shen Huaichuan raised his sleeve, reached into it with his other hand, and pulled out a storage bag, handing it to Yun Yici.

Yun Yici immediately recognized it as the storage bag she had given Shen Huaichuan, the one containing the Nine-Turn Nascent Soul Fruit.

She asked in surprise, "Why is that?"

Shen Huaichuan said frankly, "One must never be rigid in one's thinking; staying alive is the most important thing."

Admittedly, he hoped that Yun Yici would proceed steadily and not rely on external aids to improve her cultivation.

However, with a formidable enemy at hand, the higher her cultivation level, the greater her chances of survival.

Yun Yici stared silently at Shen Huaichuan's storage bag.

She must have been very happy before she had that dream.

What's the use of a Nascent Soul now?

The faster one cultivates, the easier it is to get closer to the truth, and thus become a thorn in the side of Heaven.

Yun Yici didn't answer for a long time, and Shen Huaichuan seemed to realize that something was wrong.

He sighed, "Are you angry that I forcibly took this Nine-Turn Nascent Soul Fruit from you before?"

Yun Yici quickly shook her head: "How could that be! In Senior Shen's mind, am I really that kind of temperamental person?"

As she spoke, she took the storage bag from Shen Huaichuan's hand and assured him, "I will never eat this Nine-Turn Nascent Soul Fruit unless I am forced to."

"Actually, I have something I want to ask Senior Shen."

Yun Yici pulled out two futons from her storage bag, which were the same ones she had sat on in her dream a long time ago, where they had studied swordsmanship and discussed philosophy.

After Shen Huaichuan sat down, she also sat cross-legged opposite him.

The light and shadow cast by the heavy leaves on the branches nearby fell perfectly on the young man, complementing his blue robe.

Yun Yici: "Senior Shen, if there is only one path in front of you, and you can only go forward and cannot go back, but the end is a dead end, what should you do?"

Shen Huaichuan: "When the heavens turn to forty-nine, there must be a glimmer of hope."

Yun Yici: We can't talk today.

She really wanted to tell Shen Huaichuan about her dream.

But she didn't know that after she casually recounted his suffering, he might face even more severe punishment.

When Yun Yici sighed, Shen Huaichuan knew it was because she was dissatisfied with his answer.

His gentle, listless phoenix eyes lowered slightly as he said helplessly, "The situation you described is somewhat similar to my experience."

"My answer was my true thought. At that time, you were my only chance to survive."

Yun Yici felt somewhat ashamed; without the system's teleportation array, she wouldn't have been able to rescue Shen Huaichuan at all.

The system seems to have some connection with the Heavenly Dao.

Just as she was about to tell Shen Huaichuan the truth, the bone bird, which had been silent all along, suddenly began to tremble.

She was startled and quickly took the bone bird, which had shrunk into a stone, out of her sleeve.

The smooth, round stone turned red, then trembled and transformed into the shape of bird and animal skeletons.

Yun Yici asked, "Is there any activity at the border where humans and demons meet?"

They had previously agreed that they would send a message to Yun Yici as soon as there was any new development.

The bone bird vibrated, and a human voice came from its throat: "Reporting to the Queen, Demon Lord Zhongtu and Demon Lord Taojiang have already led ten thousand demon soldiers to set off."

"The main force is currently halted halfway, while a small elite squad led by the Demon General is advancing."

"It seems to be because the two Demon Lords, Fu Chen and Fu Ying, have not responded."

The bone bird recounted the information they had gathered: "This battle was originally proposed by Demon Lord Moxiao, and the four Demon Lords gathered together. The ten thousand demon soldiers were also assembled from all four directions."

The original plan was to coordinate an attack from within and without, but unexpectedly, Fu Chen and Fu Ying, who had been captured, suddenly disappeared.

at this time.

In the Demon Realm, where demon soldiers set up camp, a pavilion suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the center.

Inside, the music and dance were enchanting. A man in black robes was embracing a woman when he heard a report from a demon servant. He then threw down the precious and exquisite wine cup in his hand.

"What a pair of idiots! I told them long ago that I could have just sent one of them away."

"The two of them were of one mind; one was captured while the other remained here, which is what makes it a perfect plan."

A woman in red sitting to the side, with a floral embroidery on her forehead, tapped a wine cup in front of her with a pair of silver chopsticks in each hand.

A handsome man beside her was fawningly pouring her wine.

The broken wine glass did not stop the singing and dancing in the hall. The exquisitely dressed dancers, oblivious to the danger, continued to dance barefoot.

Even when he was about to step on the shards of the wine glass, he made no attempt to dodge.

Even as the shards pierced their flesh and blood flowed onto the beautiful carpet, they continued to throb.

Seeing that his anger had not attracted the attention of the woman in red, the man in black immediately said with dissatisfaction, "Zhong Tu, what are you thinking?"

The woman in red, named Zhong Tu, said calmly, "I think Fu Chen and Fu Ying must have been exposed."

“They can get out by eating each other, but I would prefer that the one who survives is Fu Chen.”

Fu Ying is so stupid.
