Suddenly, the soul-summoning power hidden deep within Liuli's heart began to stir. A desire for killing and bloodlust spread within her, wrestling with a trace of mercy and compassion for control of her heart. Her heart alternated between indifference and kindness, and this alternation of hot and cold caused her extreme discomfort and unbearable pain.

Desperate to escape this feeling, a flash of light appeared beneath her feet, and a lotus platform materialized beneath her. She activated the lotus platform, unleashing a nine-colored radiance that firmly protected her, finally blocking out the chaotic sounds from the city.

Liuli simply lay down on the lotus platform, curled up in a ball with her hands behind her head, and began to calm her emotions little by little. Time passed quietly for a long time, and her heart finally calmed down.

Liuli slowly opened her eyes, but through the blur, she only saw a golden light flash past her eyes. She could vaguely see that the golden light contained a tall, thin gray figure.

Liuli was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something. She quickly sat up and made the lotus platform beneath her move suddenly, blocking the golden light.

A flash of golden light revealed the figure of a tall, thin monk. His face was filled with sorrow and anxiety, and his eyes were filled with compassion. He looked at Liuli on the nine-colored lotus platform and frowned, saying, "Miss Liuli, please step aside. This humble monk is going to save the people in this city."

Shi Chan happened to come to the area next to Xiong City. He saw the demonic energy soaring into the sky from afar and decided to investigate. When he looked at the scene in the city from the air, he was filled with anger. He completely disregarded his own safety and did not think about how he could save the people of the city from so many demons on his own. He just impulsively flew over and was about to fly into the city.

Liuli's face darkened, and she said coldly, "Monk, there are 20,000 demons in this city. Do you think that just because you have the Seven Treasures Kasaya, no one can kill you? Get lost, don't go looking for death!"

Even at this point, Liuli was still unaware of her actions; it was almost instinctive that she had to stop him from going to his death no matter what.

Shi Chan's voice trembled slightly as he said with deep sorrow, "This humble monk may die, but this humble monk cannot stand by and watch innocent people suffer this calamity! Young lady, please step aside."

"Get out!" Liuli roared angrily, "What makes you think you're so capable that you dare to dream of fighting against 20,000 demons and saving them?!"

The cries of agony and pleas for mercy from the ground reached his ears, and Shi Chan was filled with pain. He did not want to say anything more to Liuli. He moved quickly and descended more than ten feet, and then flew forward without hesitation, heading towards Xiong City.

Liuli was startled. The lotus platform she was sitting on moved and quickly flew in front of Shichan, still firmly blocking his way.

"Girl!" Shi Chan frowned and called out, shifting his body to the left to dodge Liu Li, but still determined to fly forward.

Liuli flew into a rage. She spurred her lotus platform backward, blocking Shichan's path. Her small face was cold and stern as she said in a chilling voice, "Shichan, get out of my way!"

Shi Chan's face was filled with sorrow. He looked down and saw that they had already flown over the city. So he moved and looked like he was about to land directly in the city.

Enraged, Liuli put away the nine-colored lotus platform, flew quickly to Shichan, and shoved him backward forcefully, shouting, "Monk, do you really want to go and die? Get out of here!"

Liuli had already used her magic in this push, and Shichan was caught off guard and pushed away. He staggered back seven or eight zhang before he could barely regain his footing. Then he looked at Liuli from afar and suddenly froze.

Liuli was also stunned at this moment.

Just now, Shi Chan was focused on saving the people in the city, and Liu Li was focused on stopping Shi Chan from going to his death, so they both overlooked how abnormal Liu Li's behavior was.

Only the former Liuli would have done such a thing; only she would have cared so much about his life and death and worried about his safety!

A moment later, a look of wild joy appeared on Shi Chan's face. He flew forward to Liuli and said excitedly, "Miss, are you concerned about this humble monk? You, have you remembered things from the past?"

"I, I..." Liuli looked at Shichan with evasive eyes. She really couldn't explain her actions, nor did she know why she had done such a thing.

What does his death have to do with her? He was even her enemy, the person she had been longing to kill for the past twenty years!
