The black shadow seemed to sense the powerful life energy in Li Daren and chose not to attack him.
Instead, the black shadow turned into wisps of black smoke before Li Daren's eyes and drifted into the distant sky.
"The Domain of the Strange is truly terrifying!"
"Under its influence, even Danger-level Strange can ignore daylight and roam freely everywhere."
Li Daren glanced at the black shadow with apprehension before leaving.
Inside the county town, within a large mansion.
In the room of the mansion's owner, there was a figure, a woman.
The woman was dressed grandly and elegantly, sitting upright in a chair, holding a thick book in her hands, carefully reading it.
The book had the four large characters 'Lu Family Recipes' written on it.
Thus, the identity of the woman before us was obvious: Lu Yi, Lu Jiahe's younger sister, and Liang Cheng's mother.
This book of Lu Family Recipes was personally written by Lu Jiahe and given to Lu Yi.
At this moment, in a dark corner of the room, a slight breeze passed.
A black shadow slowly seeped out from the dark corner, and without any hesitation, went straight for Lu Yi's face.
Whoosh!
Just then, outside the room, a lightning-fast figure arrived.
"Hmph!"
Clang!
A cold snort was followed by the sound of a sword being drawn.
Within the room, a powerful life energy surged out from the person who had arrived.
The air in the room suddenly became extremely hot.
As the sharp sound of the blade quickly swept through, the black shadow was split in two by a large blade wreathed in rising white steam.
The black shadow, cut in two, instantly turned into endless black smoke under the terrifying life energy of the blade and floated into the sky.
This sudden scene was witnessed by Lu Yi.
Before Lu Yi could recover, two more figures appeared outside the door.
These two figures were the two people most familiar to Lu Yi: Liang Shanhai and Liang Cheng.
"Shanhai, Cheng'er, you..."
Seeing that it was her husband and son, the tension in Lu Yi's heart was instantly relieved.
The arrival of the stranger, and the mysterious black shadow that had just floated into the air, had really startled Lu Yi.
"Mother, there's no time to explain. Quickly come with me to Uncle's place."
Without saying a word, Liang Cheng rushed to Lu Yi, grabbed her hand, and pulled her up.
"Cheng'er, what's wrong? Why are you so flustered?"
Lu Yi, pulled from the chair by Liang Cheng, felt deeply puzzled.
"Yes, Madam, there's no time to explain. Let's go to Brother's place first."
"This is Master Qian. He was the one who saved Madam's life just now with his timely action."
Lu Yi had no doubts about her husband Liang Shanhai's words, and quickly bowed to Qian Hao to thank him for saving her life.
"This humble woman, Lu Yi, thanks Master Qian for saving my life!"
Faced with Lu Yi's grand gesture, Qian Hao quickly responded.
"Yes!"
Because Lu Jiahe was too worried about Lu Yi's safety, he had Qian Hao follow Liang Shanhai and the other two back.
"Ghost!"
"Someone, help!"
Several scenes like the one at the Liang mansion occurred in several places within the county town.
Some of the common people who had witnessed the black shadow were scared out of their wits and fled out the door.
"Report it to the authorities!"
On the streets, some frightened people ran madly towards the county office.
Inside the Lu family hall, Qian Hao and Li Daren stood at the doorway with solemn expressions.
In just two hours, several black shadows had appeared here at the Lu family.
However, these black shadows had all been dealt with by Qian Hao and Li Daren.
As time passed, the pressure on Qian Hao and Li Daren grew greater and greater.
The two of them noticed that the Yin energy enveloping the Lu family was getting thicker and thicker.
Outside the Lu mansion, a ball of flame emitting a strange blue light slowly emerged from the void.
Within the blue flame was a distorted, blurred black shadow.
The tightly closed gate of the Lu mansion, as the ball of blue flame approached.
The gate actually slowly decayed and withered, turning into pieces of dried wood chips, dancing in the wind in mid-air.
After the gate of the Lu mansion had completely collapsed on the ground, the ball of blue flame seemed to have determined its direction and went straight for the Lu mansion hall.
Ye Qingshan, standing beside a pillar, seemed to sense something, and his horrified gaze looked outside the hall.
Ye Qingshan's appearance, as if facing a great enemy, also appeared on Qian Hao and Li Daren's faces at the same time.
The three of them stared intently outside, their bodies trembling slightly.
Not far from the hall, a terrifying Yin energy that made one's blood run cold was constantly advancing in their direction.
"The main body of this Strange has appeared. Old Li, quickly take the Lu family and the others and leave here first."
As soon as Qian Hao's words fell, a dazzling blue flame shone into the hall.
Under the illumination of the blue flame, everyone present instinctively felt fear.
"Brother, Shanhai, it's getting so cold here!"
Lu Yi stood beside Lu Jiahe, her body being the weakest of everyone present.
Therefore, Lu Yi was the first to feel a chilling coldness coming towards her, causing her body to tremble involuntarily.
Qian Hao, Li Daren, and Ye Qingshan, seeing this, burst out their life energy without reservation.
Three streams of life energy, like rainbows, swept through the entire hall, weakening the coldness just now by a few points.
However, these three streams of scorching life energy still seemed weak and powerless, a drop in the bucket, in the face of that terrifying Yin energy!
It's over!
This desperate thought simultaneously emerged in the minds of Qian Hao and the other two.
Faced with the existence of a Calamity-level Strange, they were still too weak, being only in the Blood Refining realm.
The opponent had not even appeared yet, and just a stream of Yin energy had made them face a great enemy, using all their life energy to resist.
"Old Qian, it seems we can't escape. It's a pity that we are going to die, and we've let down Lord Envoy's instructions."
Suddenly, from the ground outside the hall, it was as if a layer of raging blue flames was dyed.
The most conspicuous thing was the ball of blue flame floating in the air.
Within the flame, there was a shadow as dark as an abyss, a pair of eyes that glowed with a strange blue light, indifferently looking at everyone in the hall.
The next second, the ball of blue flame wrapped around the black shadow shot out a stream of blue Yin energy, the size of an arm, with lightning speed.
The blue Yin energy emitted a chilling aura, attacking the depths of the hall.
And that direction was exactly where Lu Jiahe and Lu Yunqing and the other Lu family members were.
Ye Qingshan happened to be close to Lu Jiahe, and seeing that terrifying Yin energy, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes.
There was definitely no time to dodge!
"So be it!"
Ye Qingshan quickly approached Lu Jiahe and the others, directly reaching out his right hand to push Lu Jiahe and the others away.
And Ye Qingshan's right hand directly met that blue Yin energy head-on.
Under everyone's gaze, Ye Qingshan's right arm instantly turned into ashes, and a strange blue flame spread towards Ye Qingshan's body.
"Beast, how dare you!"
In an instant, from the sky above the Lu family mansion, a roar came, shaking like a bolt from the blue!
The faces of the people present changed with excitement after hearing this familiar voice!
Lu Xuan!
