"Why are you here?" Jing Xi's father said in a stern voice, "Where is your mother? Why did she let you come here?"

Jing Xi pinched her father's sleeve feeling a little aggrieved: "Mom is also worried about you, but she was injured and was afraid of being affected by the miasma, so she didn't dare to come."

"Nonsense!" He flicked his sleeve, "Aren't you afraid of the miasma? Leave quickly!"

Jing Xi just turned her head and glanced at Jing Yan. Seeing that Jing Yan didn't pay any attention to her at all, Jing Xi felt a tightness in her throat and didn't speak. At the moment of silence, Furong suddenly intervened, stood in front of Jingxi, separated her from her father, and said with a smile: "There is not much miasma in this barrier, so there is no need to rush to drive your daughter away. She is also eager to miss her father, Taoist priest, please don't blame her."

Furong looked back at Jingxi, and saw her eyes staring at him brightly. Furong heart softened involuntarily, and his eyes softened as well. He smiled subconsciously. Although his face was now gray, the warmth in his eyes still made Jingxi feel grateful.

The Taoist priest saw Furong speak, so he didn't say anything else.

Shen Li squatted in front of the girl who was sleeping on the ground, and looked at her face for a while. He saw that her lips were dark, and her white skin was faintly visible with blue pulses, like insects lurking under the skin, which looked frightening. Shen Li asked, "Is this the epidemic that broke out in Yangzhou City due to the miasma?" Jing Yan on the opposite side glanced at Shen Li, unhappy with her interruption. Shen Li looked back at him unceremoniously, with a slightly dissatisfied tone, "What? You don't know, then why are you guarding her? Why not let someone who knows come and take a look." She turned to Xingzhi, "Thank you, Your Majesty." Xingzhi

sighed for her act of standing up for Jing Xi. No matter how much reason restrained her, Shen Li was still Shen Li. Finally, her inner feelings, the things she disliked and couldn't stand, could not help but show on her face.

Although he thought so in his heart, Xingzhi still walked over and looked at the woman carefully. Xingzhi frowned, felt her pulse, and after a while, he said, "I'll go see other patients." His expression was slightly solemn. He walked around the temple and came back with a frown. He turned to ask Furong, "Your Excellency has been here for a few days. Have you found that in which direction the miasma is the most dense?" Furong and said, "West. The miasma in the southwest corner of the city is always the most irritating." Xingzhi pondered for a while and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the miasma may not have overflowed from outside the city, but it may have overflowed from the city to outside the city, and this output has been going on for some time."

Hearing this, everyone in the room was shocked. The Taoist first refuted: "It's impossible. Although I live in seclusion in the mountains, I occasionally go to Yangzhou City to buy daily necessities. I came here once last month. At that time, there was already miasma outside the city, but the city was relatively clean."

"They are not showing this because they have an epidemic, but because they have inhaled too much miasma and caused the meridians to go backwards." Xingzhi rolled up his sleeves, and there were faint blue blood vessels under his skin on his arms. He said, "To be honest, I accidentally got miasma into my body a few days ago, and they left such marks on my body."

Shen Li knew that it was the wound left by Xingzhi after he was attacked by a monster in Xutian yuan, but Shen Li never thought that the marks left by the monster were still there, and Xingzhi didn't say a word during this period.

"And such traces, if not from attacks by creatures carrying miasma, then from long-term inhalation of miasma causing the blood to flow backwards, and when it reaches a certain level, it finally erupts." Xingzhi put down his sleeves, "Immortals everywhere are disappearing, mysterious immortal cultivation sects, miasma is raging, the answer to this may be in the west of the city."

Shen Li felt that she could not delay as it was related to the reputation of the Immortal Realm clan, and she did not want to care about the affairs of men and women here, so she stood up and said, "Let's go to the west of the city." She instructed Furong, "Guard this place well."

The closer they got to the west of the city, the more piercing the miasma became. Shen Li became alert all over and said to Xingzhi, "If you find The real culprit in this matter must be dealt with by our Immortal Realm clan. "

Xingzhi was silent. When Shen Li thought that he had no objection, Xingzhi said, "No, this matter is related to many mountain gods and lands, and the heaven must investigate it to the end."

Shen Li paused slightly and turned to look at Xingzhi. Although he had a faint smile on his lips as usual, his eyes were firm and could not be denied. Shen Li suddenly felt that she had finally seen the real side of Xingzhi. It turned out that under his seemingly careless demeanor, he was so clear about his position. On issues involving the heaven, he would not retreat a bit.

"Okay." Shen Li nodded, "Joint trial." She proposed. Xingzhi

looked at her sideways and didn't speak yet. Suddenly, he felt that the two of them had walked to the place with the most concentrated miasma. Its breath was so piercing that Shen Li, who was already accustomed to being immersed in miasma, felt a little uncomfortable, not to mention the mortals living in the human world.

As they were almost at the west wall of the city, they still hadn't seen anything that might emit miasma. Shen Li felt strange: "I've been looking for so much that I almost bumped into the wall."

Xingzhi pulled a strand of Shen Li's hair. Shen Li didn't feel any pain, but just looked at him strangely: "What are you doing?" Xingzhi smiled lightly, and his slender fingers flexibly curled her black hair into the shape of a butterfly: "I'll show you a magic trick." After saying that, he loosened his hand, and Shen Li's hair turned into a white butterfly fluttering into the air, and the miasma disappeared wherever it passed. A vermilion gate opened at the wall. This gate was exactly the same as the gate of the monster cave they had seen when they rescued the earth immortal outside the capital.

Xingzhi smiled: "Look, it appears."

Shen Li glanced at him sideways, stepped forward, and clenched the silver spear in his hand: "Next time, pull out your own hair."

Knowing that this must be the lair of the "Fusheng Gate", Shen Li was not polite at all. He kicked the vermilion door. The two doors trembled violently, but did not open. Shen Li's magic power poured in from the soles of his feet. There was a loud "clang" sound, and the two doors opened wide, and a miasma rushed in from inside. The white butterfly flew past Shen Li's ears very cooperatively. The speed was no longer as leisurely as before, but it went straight into the door like an arrow, clearing the miasma all the way.

Shen Li walked in front. She didn't expect that inside the city wall, or behind the vermilion door attached to the city wall by magic, there was a place as magnificent as a palace.

From the moment she broke in, men in black kept emerging from the walls like ghosts in all directions, trying to kill Shen Li. With the silver in Shen Li's hand, she swung it to chop off the enemy's head. Blood flowed all over the ground, and Shen Li stepped on it expressionlessly. Inher opinion, it was unforgivable to let the Immortal Realms suffer such slander and humiliation.

She killed mercilessly all the way until she came to a fork in the road. Shen Li grabbed a man at random, and in front of him, she coldly pierced a man in black through the heart. The magic power vibrated and was sacrificed from the silver spear, which directly shattered the man's internal organs, making him open his mouth and turn into ashes in front of the man Shen Li grabbed.

"Speak." Shen Li's voice seemed to come from hell, "Where is the mastermind?"

The man in black trembled all over, and finally couldn't resist the fear in his heart, and said, "right...right."

"Where is the left?"

"The place where the mountain gods and land gods from all over the place are imprisoned."

Shen Li let him go, but grabbed his hair before he escaped, dragged him and knocked him against the stone wall next to him, knocking him unconscious.

At the same time, Xingzhi just followed from behind, and saw Shen Li like this, he frowned slightly: "It's not a good thing to be bloodthirsty and murderous, even if the other party is your enemy."

The blood sliding down from Shen Li's silver spear had dyed her hands red. Shen Li glanced at Xingzhi coldly: "Don't bother the God to preach. The left side of this road leads to the place where the earthly immortals from all over the place are imprisoned. Shen Li is not proficient in magic, so I won't go there. The God will go to the land and mountain gods of your heaven by yourself. When Shen Li captures the real culprit of this matter, I hope that the God will be willing to clear the name of the Immortal Realm world when the two worlds are tried together, and don't let others have wild thoughts."

Xingzhi frowned slightly, Shen Li turned around and ran to the right.

Xingzhi looked at the direction she left for a long time, but in the end, he still didn't turn his toes and walked to the left.

The closer they got to the last room, the more people came to stop them. When Shen Li pierced the last door with a single gun, a golden hall appeared in front of Shen Li. She looked around and found that there was no one in the hall. She stepped into the hall carefully with caution. It was quiet all around, even the black-clothed man who blocked the road was gone.

Suddenly, there was a tremor under her feet. Shen Li tilted her head slightly, and three mountain-like strong men fell from the sky. They bent their bodies and surrounded Shen Li in a triangle. Their faces were ferocious, their fangs were sharp like wolves, and their eyes were red. They looked like wild beasts. They roared at Shen Li, spitting and smelling fishy.

Although Shen Li looked calm, she was shocked in her heart. She had never seen such an opponent before. He looked like a human and a beast. It was like... a human turned into a monster.

The four of them were in a stalemate for a while. Suddenly, a strong man rushed forward. Shen Li raised her gun to block it. The tip of the gun went straight to the man's eyeball, but the man did not dodge. He stretched out his hand to grab the tip of the gun and used brute force to break the silver gun in Shen Li's hand. His hand was pierced by the sharp gun blade and bleeding, but he seemed not to feel it and roared to bite Shen Li's neck.

Even someone like Shen Li who likes to fight hard in a fight was startled at this time, and let go of the silver gun and dodged to the side. At this time, another strong man attacked from another direction. Shen Li was not careful for a moment and was hit in the back. She rolled to the side. Without a breath of time, she clenched her palm, and the silver gun that was originally held by one of the strong men returned to Shen Li's hand again.

The three-legged momentum has been broken. The door is behind the three people, and she is trapped in the hall.

These three people are very difficult to deal with...
