Ye Xingchen's sword energy was too sharp, so Hong Po naturally dared not meet it. She quickly retreated to the side and blocked it with her staff.
Ding... Granny Hong took several steps back. A crack appeared on the snake staff in her hand, and the green light in the snake's eyes also dimmed.
"Who exactly are you?" Granny Hong was both shocked and furious. She and the Li family were sworn enemies. She originally wanted to target Li Yijin, but her first attempt at using the corpse curse failed.
This time, she simply took action to arrest the person, but unexpectedly encountered obstruction from this inexplicable young man.
"You'll soon find out who I am." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly, took a step forward, and entered the celestial realm. With a clear whistle, he slashed down with his sword in mid-air.
"Are you a master of celestial phenomena?" Granny Hong was furious. She turned around and fled rapidly.
With every two steps she took, she left behind an identical phantom image, creating three phantom images in a row. Just then, Ye Xingchen's sword energy also approached her side.
With a soft thud, the three silhouettes she left behind were split in two.
But when Ye Xingchen arrived, he found that all that remained were three human skins cut in half; Granny Hong had long since vanished without a trace.
"You run pretty fast." Ye Xingchen slashed forward with his Crimson Cloud sword, and a chilling sword aura rose up.
The surrounding fog dissipated, and the two found themselves at least thirty kilometers off their original route, in a remote and almost deserted place.
"What powerful sorcery!" Ye Xingchen murmured to himself.
"Where am I?" Li Yijin was still in shock.
"Look at the map." Ye Xingchen took out his phone and opened the map.
"How did we end up in this godforsaken place?" Li Yijin forced a smile that looked more like a grimace.
"Let's go. The yin energy is too strong. Staying here too long won't be good for your health." Ye Xingchen pulled her into the car and they returned the way they came.
In that dilapidated house in the suburbs.
With a thud, Granny Hong burst through the door, collapsing to the ground and breathing heavily.
Although she narrowly escaped death and tried to escape using her clone, Ye Xingchen's sword still seriously injured her.
"Auntie, what's wrong?" Xu Jie, who had just walked in, was startled. She quickly closed the door behind her and helped Granny Hong up.
"The Li family has found a master," Granny Hong said through gritted teeth. "The other party's strength is already at the celestial level. Why? Why is the Li family so lucky?"
"Aunt, let me treat you first." Xu Jie helped her sit down, then took out a small glass bottle from the shrine, which contained a specially made cursed corpse oil.
Granny Hong poured out the corpse oil and then applied it to her forehead. She sat there muttering incantations for a long time before slowly calming down.
“We need to change our strategy.” Granny Hong opened her eyes. “Didn’t you invite the experts from Qingxianju? Find a way to get them to help deal with that brat surnamed Ye.”
"I'll try my best," Xu Jie said after a moment's thought, "but I can't guarantee success. I can't get the people from Qingxianju to help me."
"Hehe, if they can't be persuaded, it can only mean that the benefits offered are not enough. Don't think too highly of those martial arts masters." Granny Hong sneered, "I think that Bai Tiance is a master on the surface, but in reality he is a hypocrite."
"You know better than I what he likes. Cater to his tastes and you'll win him over."
"This..." Xu Jie was slightly taken aback. Bai Tiance liked married women, like herself. She understood what "wife" meant: to offer herself to Bai Tiance.
"For the sake of revenge, don't worry about so much." Seeing Xu Jie's hesitation, his wife's face darkened.
"Understood." Xu Jie gritted her teeth.
Li Tianqi had already received the news and was anxiously waiting at home.
He was so excited to see Ye Xingchen driving back with his sister that he quickly went to greet him.
Seeing Li Yijin's delinquent-like outfit, he was furious: "Why didn't you listen to me? Didn't I tell you not to run around? Look at your outfit, how is it any different from a delinquent?"
Li Yijin looked unwilling, listening to her brother's scolding with her head down, without saying a word.
"Go change your clothes and take off your earrings. This is a crucial time in your senior year of high school. What are you doing?" Li Tianqi said helplessly, seeing her stubbornness.
"Okay, I got it." Li Yijin nodded, made a face, and ran away.
"Mr. Ye, I'm sorry to have troubled you again." Li Tianqi was a bit annoyed.
"It's no trouble at all. Your sister is quite cute. It's just that you, as her brother, are usually too busy to take care of her." Ye Xingchen smiled. "Besides, the trouble is a minor matter. The most troublesome thing is that sorcerer."
"Mr. Ye fought with her. Do you know her background?" A glint flashed in Li Tianqi's eyes.
“They’re from the Southern Sect, and their methods are extremely vicious. Be prepared,” Ye Xingchen said. “The most troublesome thing about sorcerers is that they are impossible to guard against, and you can easily fall victim to their tricks if you’re not careful.”
“My family has bodyguards protecting us, but once a sorcerer wants someone dead, they will fight to the death,” Li Tianqi said with a headache.
"It's not difficult. I'll get you a few karmic purification talismans." Ye Xingchen thought for a moment and said, "Hang them at home, in the car, and at the company. You should also carry them with you at all times. That way, she won't have a chance to take advantage of you."
"However, the karmic talisman can only prevent problems, it's not a long-term solution. You should be prepared to find the other party and deal with them once and for all when you have the chance."
"Okay, thank you. I'll have to ask my stepmother what she's planning to do." Li Tianqi's gaze was stern.
After returning from the Li family's house, Ye Xingchen received a friend request on WeChat.
Seeing that the profile picture was of Li Yijin, he accepted the request without hesitation. After accepting, the other party quickly sent a smiley face: "Aren't you going to sleep yet?"
"Just got home," Ye Xingchen replied casually.
"I've already showered and just changed into my pajamas," Li Yijin suddenly said.
Ye Xingchen was taken aback. This girl's tone was very seductive. Although it seemed like a normal sentence, it made people involuntarily think of her amazing figure.
"Then go to sleep," Ye Xingchen replied, intending to put down her phone.
But then a message popped up: "I bought some new pajamas, do you want to take a look?"
Before Ye Xingchen could reply, several more photos were sent over.
Ye Xingchen was stunned for a long time, but still couldn't help clicking to take a look.
I almost got a nosebleed from this photo; it was taken in front of a shower mirror, with my face covered by my phone.
The extremely revealing pose and the sexy black gauze dress instantly drove Ye Xingchen wild.
What is this girl trying to do?
"Are you watching?" After not receiving a reply for a while, Li Yijin sent a big question mark.
