The Spirit World

Chapter 481 Greedy and Careless Volume
[Act 8: Escape]

Does anyone... still remember... that this is a plan to destroy the Great Devil of the First Heaven?
The Fuzhen Division spent so much effort in arresting and killing people, and even emptied the entire Zhongqing City. Why?

The purpose is to allow the five major families to fairly kill the first great devil Lan Luo.

No matter how much Li Lusheng in the audience wanted to do everything he could to trap Lan Luo in the magic circle, the leaders of the four major families and their advisers on the stage did not feel nervous at all.

The more unreliable this chaotic feeling is, the more wonderful it seems.

Not to mention that the people from the five major families have been openly and secretly wanting the Chen family to take the "top spot", with this sudden situation, it seems that everything has changed.

Chang Yufeng simply couldn't figure it out. He originally thought that these people, from prominent families, could rank themselves in order when it came to such an important matter as killing the First Great Demon King. They were humble and let others do the killing. It was as if they had signed a friendly and equal treaty with Lan Luo. They were completely arrogant and didn't take the First Great Demon King seriously. This absurd thing made him feel conflicted at first.

But now, the appearance of Xun Huangying makes this matter not ridiculous at all, and it is even reasonable.

Among the five major families, such a big figure is hidden. Even if he has nothing to do with Xun Huangying, it is enough for them to be arrogant.

Regardless of whether they will succeed or not, Xunhuangying will definitely kill Lanluo, which can be considered a success.

Just as Chang Yufeng was thinking this, Ju Junyi hurriedly stood on tiptoe and leaned close to Chang Yufeng's ear, whispering: "What should we do now? Xun Huangying is here! Don't you know him? Should we just stand there like this?"

"I don't know what to do either..." Chang Yufeng lowered his shoulders and leaned sideways so that Ju Junyi could understand.

He really didn't know what to do.

His current identity is Bai Yutang's adviser. In fact, it should be Bai Yutang who should make the decision, not themselves.

However, if I meet Xun Huangying, this time and this place, this situation will definitely become very awkward.

He had never communicated with Xun Huangying. After losing contact with him, he was just guessing on his own. There were ways to guess, but no way out.

If you think about it yourself, you will definitely not be able to figure it out. But now you shouldn't think about it by yourself, it's meaningless, the real person is here, right? As long as Xun Huangying has no hostility, then based on our previous interactions, you should just listen to half of what Xun Huangying says and keep the other half.

There's no need to act like a nagging woman.

As soon as Xun Huangying arrived, he turned this place into his home ground. With a snap of his fingers, the mental invasion so quickly changed Chen Qi's attitude.

Bai Yuting was fanning himself slowly, Ning Zhirou was still helping Chen Qi organize his thoughts, Wang Haoyun stood respectfully aside, Xun Huangying looked at Chen Lin, Chen Lin looked at Lan Luo below the stage, Lan Luo calmly looked at Li Lusheng outside the barrier, Li Lusheng looked at Li Ruyue who was walking towards him, Li Ruyue looked back at the platform, Chang Yufeng caught Li Ruyue's sight at first sight.

Although they were just looking at each other due to the distance, Li Ruyue's mouth twitched and she made a click of the tongue.

Chang Yufeng had nothing to see... so he just kept staring over there. As a result, when Li Ruyue looked over there, she only saw two people, one was Chen Lin and the other was Chang Yufeng, who were looking over here as if they were concerned about this matter.

"You have to be careful……"

Li Lusheng put his hand on Li Ruyue's shoulder armor and looked at Li Ruyue with a very affirmative look. Li Ruyue looked at Li Lusheng very seriously. From the sweat on his forehead, she could see that there was indeed a big crisis.

"Well... after all, we are just paving the way for the Chen family... I will get out of this unscathed..."

"If you think so, you must do it. You must not show off your power. Lan Luo is not someone we can face..." Li Lusheng nodded. He retracted his green spiritual power, and Bai Luyin also turned into green light and disappeared.

"Please rest assured, brother." Li Ruyue drew out his sword, and the green blade instantly emitted a green light.

"Go..." Li Lusheng cleared the way for Li Ruyue, and then warned the three people behind him: "You must be careful. This mission is not to defeat Lan Luo. It is best to retreat safely."

The three of them nodded one after another, and when they came behind Li Ruyue, she had already placed her hand on the barrier. The barrier with white light interwoven by the dome looked like a birdcage emitting dazzling light in the dark night.

The scope of this birdcage covers the entire Zhongqing City, and mysterious words that cannot be seen are circling above the barrier.

Li Lusheng slowly stepped back and looked towards the high platform on Shanglong Street. He saw the happy scene on the platform, and his handsome brows were furrowed so much that he could not see the corners of his face.

Chang Yufeng watched Li Ruyue enter the barrier. The principle of this barrier was that the inscriptions were arranged below Zhongqing City, and the spiritual power transmitted by the resonance of the inscriptions was used to maintain the generation and maintenance of the barrier.

In a sense, Chang Yufeng didn't really understand what effect this formation had on Lan Luo. Was it simply restricting Lan Luo's actions, or was it suppressing Lan Luo? The exorcism of Bailing Mountain was based on suppressing the magic energy of monsters. This was an absolute restraint. Ordinary people infected with magic energy could only passively take the beating when they saw the exorcism of Bailing Mountain, or even were powerless to resist. Only those large ones, or even those seriously infected, that had reached the enhanced effect, would the exorcism method become ordinary and lose its suppressive effect.

"I... want to talk to him alone..." Ju Junyi pointed at Xun Huangying, who was asking Wang Haoyun for fruit.

"No... He's very strong... Let's talk about it after the storm has passed, okay? We have to give Bai Yutang face." Chang Yufeng lowered his body so that Ju Junyi didn't have to stand on tiptoe. Ju Junyi stood and spoke to Chang Yufeng, and Chang Yufeng listened very carefully and answered very seriously.

"But... now it feels to me... like we are playing house. The difference between us and them is not that big at all..." Junichi Tachibana watched Chen Lin take the grapes and put them in his mouth.

"It's different... They are him, we are us... Trust me, I'll let him communicate with you when the time comes. There's no need to ask too many questions now..." Chang Yufeng gently explained to Ju Junyi why this place was like this: "Be patient... He won't run away, will he?... I'll tell you whatever you want to ask when the time comes... At least just listen now."

"Well... I feel... it's not that important... I'm not going to do anything... But it's true..." Tachibana Junyi was about to say something but stopped talking when he saw Xun Huangying turning around, holding an orange in his boyish, white, cute and tender hands.

Junichi Tachibana didn't understand what was going on and looked at the boy who turned around and looked at her with confusion.

The boy blinked at him, and with a "yeah" he pushed the orange again. The orange rolled gently on his palm and landed on his fingers.

"Here, eat."

"what?"

Ju Junyi looked at Xun Huangying, pointed at herself, and was a little confused. She suddenly turned to the right to look at Chang Yufeng.

Only Chang Yufeng's profile could be seen through the veil.

She didn't know where Chang Yufeng was looking, and didn't get any response from Chang Yufeng. She turned around and looked at Xun Huangying. Between Xun Huangying's serious eyes, those dark and focused eyes, he actually saw them so familiarly.

Aren’t those… the eyes of the man standing next to me?
His name is Chang Yufeng.

His name is Xun Huangying.

She gently took the plump orange and placed it lightly on her fingertips. She took it as if taking away her suspicion.

She did not speak.

Instead, he watched Xun Huangying turn around and look at Chang Yufeng from the other side of the chair. "When... did you come here?"

Xun Huangying asked Chang Yufeng. Chang Yufeng looked away and didn't look at Xun Huangying, but he knew that he was asking him.

Chang Yufeng's eyes were fixed on the ground. The burning sensation was like... an ant drilling into his heart, shattering everything he had into countless pieces. This irrational thing made sweat break out on his forehead. This was not fear, but... a kind of sadness... an indescribable thought...

He was beaten to pieces and could neither bear it nor accept it.

He took a deep breath and stood up straight. This very natural movement made him even more embarrassed. He caught a glimpse of the woman in red clothes who turned back to look at him. She was extremely beautiful, with her butterfly hairpin swaying slightly.

She was still eating grapes, biting the purple grapes on her red lips. Before she even ate them, she already made his heart surge with excitement again.

"Forget it if you don't want to say it..." Xun Huangying turned around, took an apple and started eating it naturally, one bite at a time, very quickly, without any of the elegance just now.

Chen Lin had been looking at Chang Yufeng, trying to find his eyes with her bright purple eyes, but it was difficult to find them. When he looked over, she was satisfied to see them. In the second when their eyes met, there was a lack of... the courage to continue looking at each other.

Chang Yufeng turned his face away again. He felt heavy... and even felt like he couldn't breathe.

Chen Lin's joy turned into calm, with a smile on her face. Her disappointment turned into a dull cry in an instant. She quickly turned her head, crushed the grape, and swallowed it down her throat.

Junyi Ju watched Chang Yufeng turn around and then turn back. The veil began to tremble and shake, like the blank spaces left after pieces of memory were shattered.

"I seem to understand something..." Junichi Tachibana said softly, her voice was so soft that no one could hear it.

She peeled the orange and put the slices into her mouth one by one.

Well, so what?

She felt the orange was very sour and she let out a cry, her face wrinkled with sourness.

"What are you doing!"

A voice drew everyone's attention back to the steps of the platform.

The owner of that voice was Li Lusheng, who looked at everything on the platform angrily.

"The five major families are facing a great crisis now! The families sent you young men here! They want you to have a good reputation and establish a good prestige when fighting against the Great Devil of the First Day! But you are so good! You showed me the behavior of the young masters of the big families!"

Li Lusheng walked on the platform with heavy steps. He seriously looked at the "young-haired boys" who were adjusting their sitting posture and packing their luggage. His anger was visible to the naked eye, and his crystal antlers also emitted a red light.

"I am so disappointed with your attitude!" Li Lusheng shook his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and sat on Li Ruyue's chair.

"Uncle Li is teaching us that... we are being too frivolous now, and it's our fault..." Ning Zhirou happened to be sitting next to Li Lusheng, and lowered her head to apologize for everyone. "Zhirou is still sensible." Li Lusheng sat down and nodded slightly to Ning Zhirou.

"This is outrageous! Bai Yutang! You are the oldest! Why don't you care about your brothers and sisters?"

After a while, he severely criticized Bai Yutang. Bai Yutang closed his fan, made a snapping sound, and said, "Among the five families of Chen, Wang, Li, Ning, and Bai, Chen Qi is the eldest. Uncle Li should ask Chen Qi."

"Chen Qi!" Li Lusheng said to Chen Qi again. Chen Qi seemed confused. He scratched the back of his head and said, "Ah... Uncle Li... I..."

"You are all people chosen by the family. If there is a war in the future, you will definitely be the generals who rush to the front and the pillars of the family who must take responsibility. If you don't wake up, don't blame us, the older generation, for not giving you a chance."

Li Lusheng shook his head helplessly: "Your brothers and sisters are all graceful, talented, and famous. If you miss this opportunity, where can you find another opponent like this to help you understand your future? If you can't grasp it, how can you compare with your brothers and sisters?"

"Uncle Li... weren't we born to compete with each other..." Wang Haoyun stood and looked at Li Lusheng with a smile on his face.

Li Lusheng was surprised that he was standing, and asked him why in a somewhat annoyed manner.

"I... I am comparing myself to Zhou Gong spitting out food to feed his guests. The talent and virtue of the strategist have surpassed mine... How dare I sit down..." Li Lusheng was at a loss for words after hearing Wang Haoyun's words. He looked at Xun Huangying with a serious face, and then at Chen Lin with an innocent face. He didn't know what to say at the first time.

He couldn't ask other people's counselors.

So he stood up again.

"Don't be impatient! You can't achieve great things at a young age! You must keep calm!" When Li Lusheng sat together, no one knew what he wanted to do.

"I'll go down and instruct Li Ruyue. You'd better stop being lazy and think carefully about how to deal with the Great Demon King of Day One. Otherwise, you'll risk death once you enter the magic circle. By then, I won't be able to save you even if I want to. Don't blame your Uncle Li for being heartless!"

Li Lusheng left again.

The atmosphere here became heavy.

Chang Yufeng was surprised at Li Lusheng's tolerance for the lax environment of the people here. Facing the first big devil, they really couldn't be so lax, but he was also surprised at Li Lusheng's... indulgence in this matter.

In fact, they are other people's children, and it is difficult for him to control them. He dare not control them, but he still has to say these words.

It turns out that the leaders of the five major families gathered together because Bai Yutang and others were not famous... They had not made any achievements in the family and needed to acquire relevant resumes to increase their fame.

In other words, if their famous brothers and sisters came, perhaps the situation would not be as relaxed as it is now...

They also felt that the matter had already been decided...there was no point in getting involved...they were just here to go through the motions...they knew the ending anyway...

Then the unfairness to everyone in Crescent Bay seems so serious... because this resume is a resume that can help anyone rise to the top... it crushes fairness to pieces.

Maybe they have their own opinions, but they have to come here...

But no matter what, apart from Xun Huangying and Chen Lin, he was the only one who had experience fighting against the first great devil - Lan Luo.

You must never underestimate the enemy... Especially when facing her... She can kill with just a wave of her hand... You must never take it lightly.

Chang Yufeng was very distressed, and in this distress... no one came to answer his questions... He thought that maybe he was avoiding... that was avoiding...
