Severing ties with family to marry the young marshal, his whole family chases me to the crematorium.

"Senior Sister, come and see them!"

Shen Qingyao walked quickly to Ruan Hongshuang with a nervous expression and pointed anxiously into the distance with her jade-like hand.

Not far away, a group of people were fiercely fighting around a pile of gold and silver jewelry. The scene was chaotic, with shouts and curses echoing through the sky.

Upon hearing Shen Qingyao's words, Ruan Hongshuang immediately turned her head and looked in the direction she was pointing.

Upon seeing this, her beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and her pupils contracted sharply, as if she had witnessed something extremely terrifying.

Immediately afterwards, her slender hands involuntarily clenched into fists, her knuckles turning slightly white from the excessive force.

"The Soul Devouring Formation...it's actually the Soul Devouring Formation!"

Ruan Hongshuang gasped, her voice trembling slightly as she murmured to herself.

At this moment, from where Shen Qingyao and Ruan Hongshuang were, they could clearly see wisps of black mist emanating from the people who were fighting wildly.

These mists, as if alive, slowly enveloped each person's body and gradually spread towards their heads.

As time went on, everyone's souls began to be forcibly extracted from their bodies little by little.

However, what is bizarre is that these people, who have fallen into a frenzy, are completely unaware of this and continue to fight desperately for the gold and silver treasures on the ground, even risking their lives and getting bloodied and battered.

"Senior sister!"

She shouted with a hint of joy, her voice filled with barely concealed excitement.

"I finally know where the array's core is! However, I still need your strong cooperation, Senior Sister."

"You're in charge of breaking the illusion, and I'll be in charge of breaking the formation."

As she spoke, her gaze remained fixed on Ruan Hongshuang, her eyes sparkling with expectation and trust.

A barely perceptible glint flashed in her bright, star-like eyes, as if she had already seen through everything.

This confident demeanor is as beautiful and charming as a flower blooming in spring, making people unable to resist its allure.

The others standing to the side, who were initially uneasy about the complex situation and unknown dangers, gradually felt their anxiety dissipate when they saw Shen Qingyao's calm and confident demeanor.

It seems that as long as Shen Qingyao is there, even the greatest difficulties can be easily resolved.

At that moment, only Ruan Hongshuang was slightly taken aback. A look of confusion instantly appeared on her beautiful face, and even her tone of voice was full of doubt:

"An illusion? Didn't we already try that? This is clearly not an illusion!"

Standing to the side, Shen Qingyao gently shook her head, a mysterious light flickering in her beautiful eyes that was hard for others to understand, and slowly began to explain:

"If it were merely a Soul-Devouring Array, how could they be in such a state? In my opinion, this place is most likely the result of the fusion of illusion and array."

At this point, Shen Qingyao paused slightly, seemingly considering her words, before continuing:

"The more crucial point is... I have detected the presence of wisps of Yin energy. This Yin energy is extremely subtle, but I was still able to detect its traces with my perception abilities. There must be something significant about this!"

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Ruan Hongshuang's eyes, and her previously confused expression instantly became clear, as if she had suddenly understood something.

She gently patted her forehead, revealing a look of sudden realization.

"Oh dear, Yaoyao, you're so smart! Now that you've explained it, I finally understand! It's all my fault, as I get older, my brain isn't working as well anymore. I didn't even think of such a simple principle. But it's okay, now that we know what to do, let's get started! You take charge of breaking the formation, and I'll go and dispel this annoying illusion."

After saying this, Ruan Hongshuang immediately adjusted her posture, quickly forming hand seals, and emanating a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation from her body, clearly preparing to break the illusion.

Seeing this, Shen Qingyao naturally didn't hesitate and quickly ran towards the crowd that was still fighting fiercely.

Si Jingnian, who had been keeping a close eye on the situation, felt a pang of anxiety when he saw Shen Qingyao make a move.

Knowing the danger of this battle, how could he let Shen Qingyao go on the adventure alone? So, almost at the same time, Si Jingnian flashed and followed closely behind Shen Qingyao like a gust of wind, remaining vigilant at all times, fearing that she might be harmed by that group of people.

At that moment, those who were fiercely vying for the jewels suddenly noticed that Shen Qingyao was gradually approaching them.

In an instant, everyone was like a startled beast, their eyes wide with alarm, staring intently at Shen Qingyao, their muscles tense, entering a state of high alert.

From their cold, hostile eyes, one could clearly sense a few faint, lurking signs of impending violence.

Despite the vigilance and defensiveness of these people, Shen Qingyao remained completely unconcerned.

With a swift, ghostly movement, she snatched the precious item from the crowd with astonishing speed.

Without hesitation, she swung her arm and tossed it high into the air. At the same time, she chanted incantations and formed a hand seal. With a loud bang, the once dazzling treasure turned to dust in mid-air, scattering in the wind.

"Damn it! That's my precious treasure! Give it back to me right now!"

One of them was the first to come to his senses. Staring at the vanished treasure, he was furious, his face flushed red, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"Ah!! You wicked woman, you actually ruined my baby! My precious darling!!"

The other person also seemed to awaken from a dream, letting out a heart-wrenching roar that resounded through the sky, as if it would shatter the entire world.

When everyone finally realized what was happening, their faces instantly turned incredibly grim, like the sky before a storm, pitch black.

Their once calm gazes were now completely replaced by ferocity and bloodlust. Enraged, they roared through gritted teeth and charged towards Shen Qingyao like a surging tide.

Shen Qingyao stared coldly at the group of people charging towards her like wolves and tigers, secretly pushing off with her feet, already prepared to kick the person at the front of the charge away.

However, at this critical moment, a figure streaked across the sky like lightning, making a move before Shen Qingyao could react.

It turned out that Si Jingnian had arrived just in time. He kicked out with tremendous force, striking the chest of the first person who rushed over.

With a dull thud echoing around, the man was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing heavily to the ground dozens of meters away, raising a cloud of dust.

Upon seeing this, Shen Qingyao couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly. However, she didn't remain stunned for long. Instead, she immediately turned around to face the others who were still holding onto their jewelry and refusing to let go.
