Incense was curling, the windows were tightly closed, and talismans to ward off evil were pasted around the walls. The crown prince sat behind the sandalwood table with a cold expression: "Prince Rui's Mansion, they know how to find a place." The jade Buddhist beads were slammed on the table, shaking the porcelain cup and the water ripples. The black-clothed assassin kneeling in front of the table was silent, "Now, I can't keep them. Fu Sheng! Where are the monks and those foreign sorcerers?" "

Replying to the crown prince, they are waiting outside the door."

The crown prince nodded with satisfaction: "Hmph, okay, I'll see what else that monster can do."

The grape leaves in the courtyard danced in the wind. Shen Li looked at the leaves and felt that she probably wouldn't be able to eat the fruit it produced. Xingyun's food was so delicious, and the fruit of the fruit trees he planted should be very sweet. She was determined to leave within three days. No matter what Xingyun's place looked like by then, she couldn't stay any longer. It would only make things worse. The threat of the crown prince can still be avoided in the Rui Palace, but the threat of the Immortal Realm world... no mortal can handle it.

With a "bang", Shen Li poked her head to look at the front yard and saw Xingyun struggling to move the stones in the yard. Sweat dripped down his face. He seemed to be calculating something, his lips moved slightly, and he muttered something. It was rare to see him with such a serious expression. Shen Li couldn't help but stare at him for a moment, and suddenly an idea popped up in her mind: if there was no marriage contract, it would be great.

If there was no marriage contract, she wouldn't have to run away from the marriage, and she wouldn't have to leave so anxiously. She could... could what?

Shen Li suddenly came back to her senses, and was so shocked by her sudden idea that she forgot to blink. What on earth was she looking forward to in her heart...

"Shen Li." A call came from the front yard, interrupting Shen Li's thoughts. She shook off the mixed emotions in her mind and walked towards the front yard.

The stones that were scattered around in the front yard have been rearranged. Xingyun stood in front of the large water tank and waved to Shen Li: "Let's lift this water tank together." Shen Li curled her lips, walked over, picked up the half-person-high water tank with one hand, and asked: "Where to put it?"

"The corner over there." Xingyun pointed, watching Shen Li carry the water tank over easily, he said, "I changed the formation in the house to an extremely fierce formation, especially at night, this formation is particularly powerful. Remember not to come to the front yard, and you have to go out with me if you want to go out."

Shen Li knew that Xingyun was a little capable in this regard, but she always felt that as a mortal, he could set up a good formation that condensed the essence of the sun and the moon, but he might not be able to set up a fierce formation. No matter how fierce the formation was, could it be more fierce than her, the overlord of the Immortal Realm world? So she just ignored Xingyun's words and didn't take them to heart. Instead, she changed the subject and asked, "Why did you suddenly change the formation?" Xingyun smiled and said, "It's for you and me, so that we can sleep well." As if deliberately contradicting Xingyun's words, at night, when the lights of all the houses were turned off, the sound of chanting suddenly rang out outside the courtyard.

Xingyun covered his ears with a quilt in the inner room and sighed, "I didn't expect it to be so clumsy. I really overestimated the crown prince." He didn't finish his words here. In the sound of chanting that was faintly entering his ears, there was a crisp sound. Xingyun immediately turned over, grabbed the clothes at the head of the bed, put them on, and walked into the hall.

After Shen Li became a human, she had been sleeping on a bed made of benches in the hall. Every night when he got up to drink water, he could see her lying steadily on the narrow bench, looking at him, and then continuing to sleep. She was alert by nature and also trusted him. But today Shen Li was no longer lying on the bench. Xingyun felt something was wrong, and hurried to the entrance of the hall to look into the courtyard. Five people had already fallen in the fierce formation. In addition to the three men in black, there were two people dressed as Taoist priests. They were all pale and gasping weakly on the ground. There was only one person in the courtyard, standing upright in the courtyard like a mountain.

This girl named Shen Li seemed to have never bent her knees and back. She was so strong that it was almost helpless. Just as Xingyun sighed, two blood marks suddenly appeared in Shen Li's tightly closed eyes, which was shocking.

However, her fists were still clenched tightly, and even the corners of her lips did not tremble at all. Xingyun knew that this formation would not kill people. It would only touch the fear deep in people's hearts, shatter their reason, and make people fall down.

But if he held on like Shen Li, the power in the formation would become stronger. Xingyun had never thought that someone would hold on for so long in such a fierce formation. If it continued like this, who knows what would happen...

As if he couldn't bear it any longer, Xingyun couldn't hold back the impulse in his heart, and stepped into the front yard, into the fierce formation he had set up with his own hands. At this moment, he saw Shen Li suddenly bleed from all seven orifices, his clenched palms suddenly loosened, and his figure slowly fell down. Xingyun closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing slightly, and continued to move forward. When he opened his eyes again, the scenes just now were like a dream, no longer existing.

Shen Li was still standing there with his fists clenched, and there were only two bloodstains on his face. Without Xingyun's determination, Shen Li's world was collapsing. The people of the Immortal Realm Realm all disappeared in the red lava.

Those brave soldiers reached out to her for help, but she was tied up and unable to move.

The majestic Immortal Realm Palace turned to dust. She was worried about the life and death of the Immortal Realm Lord. She turned around and saw the Immortal Realm Lord in a black robe tying her hands and said in a cold voice: "This is a place that shouldn't exist. You shouldn't..."

Shen Li's heart was empty. Before she could speak, the Immortal Realm Lord suddenly opened his mouth and bit her neck, tearing off her flesh and wanting to eat her alive! No... "Shen Li." A light call seemed to come from a very far distance, but it froze all the scenes, "Wake up." Who is calling her... Her eyes hurt, and an inexplicably familiar face came into her sight: "It's all fake, it's okay."

Those red and chaotic scenes gradually faded, and her hands were no longer bound. Shen Li watched the scene around that person slowly become real. It was still that small courtyard, and there was the sound of chanting outside the courtyard.

Xingyun was holding her eyelids open with his hands, and blew a breath into it, and said, "Wake up." Shen Li's eyes were dry from being blown, and she closed her eyes patiently.

Xingyun said she was not awake, and forced her eyelids open again, took a deep breath, and was about to blow, but Shen Li turned her head and dodged: "Don't blow."

She rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand, "I'm almost blind." Xingyun smiled and said, "Isn't this going to help you blow away the nightmare first?" He pulled Shen Li's other hand, "Anyway, let's leave this evil formation first."

Shen Li was led away by him, looking at the blood marks on the back of her hand, she was stunned for a while, this evil formation, is it really so powerful...

She looked up at Xingyun's back, and asked absentmindedly: "Because you are the one who set up the formation, the evil formation will not hurt you?"

"No? This is just a formation, how can it recognize people?"

Xingyun's voice was light, "It's just that the heart is fearless, so that this formation has no loopholes."

Fearless... Shen Li was silent, fearless is also a heart without thoughts. Xingyun is really too indifferent. But... Shen Li lowered her eyes and fixed her gaze on the clasped hands. This person also made people feel at ease for some reason.

Xingyun pulled Shen Li into the hall without saying a word. He did not mention the scene he saw when he stepped into the formation just now.

"What should we do with these people?" Shen Li pointed at the people lying on the ground.

"Just drag them out after dawn."

"Where are the monks chanting outside?"

Xingyun pondered, and suddenly the chanting stopped. "They are all a bunch of trash!" The voice of a young man outside was particularly prominent. He ordered in a cold voice: "Burn them directly." Then a burning arrow suddenly shot in from outside the house and pierced the eaves. The wooden roof caught fire soon, as if a mechanism was triggered. Countless arrows shot into the house from outside.

Shen Li frowned: "They haven't even left yet, and they want to set fire!"

Xingyun did not respond, but turned his head to look at the backyard, which was also a fire. The grape trellis was burned and tilted slightly, and the breath of the fierce formation in the house gradually weakened. Every object in this small courtyard is part of the formation, and they are closely related to each other. If one object is damaged, the entire formation will be implicated. Xingyun saw this situation, but there was no worry on his face. Instead, he smiled and said, "For so many years, I have thought too well of people's hearts."

His courtyard was connected to the neighbors on both sides. If it caught fire, it would definitely affect others. He thought that the crown prince would only deal with him, but he didn't expect that the princes and nobles would take the lives of the people so lightly.

"It's my inconsiderateness that harmed others."

Shen Li glanced at him: "You also feel guilty?"

Xingyun smiled lightly without saying anything, but the arc of his lips was a little far-fetched.

Shen Li looked away, wiped the blood on her face, took two steps forward, and said in a low voice: "I'll help you for the last time. Today, the courtyard is burned. Tomorrow, you can go to the Rui Palace. I have to leave."

She said the words of leaving for the first time. Xingyun was stunned.

She waved her hand, and the silver light gathered in her hand. In just a moment, a red tassel silver spear suddenly appeared in her hand.

The spear was cold and imprinted with fire. It turned in Shen Li's hand and exuded a sharp murderous aura. Shen Li exerted force on her feet and broke through the roof and jumped into the air.

The silver spear in her hand drew four traces in the air. She shouted, and four silver lights were printed like seals. The walls around Xingyun's courtyard collapsed, separating it from the surrounding houses by a distance of two feet.

There was no wind tonight, and the fire here could not burn other people's houses.

Shen Li's figure flashed and landed in the courtyard. Now there was no wall blocking her, and she could clearly see the people outside.

Dozens of guards, holding bows and arrows, retreated tremblingly. Only a young man stood outside the crowd, staring at her coldly. Shen Li kicked out the five people who fainted on the ground without any hesitation, and the guards rushed over: "I don't want to see blood today. Get out of here."
