In fact, Lu Ji didn't want to leave, but he had to deal with Wang Qiang's matter as soon as possible.
Lu Ji controlled Wang Qiang in the basement of the villa, and asked the puppet to take care of Lu Baobei.
As soon as he stepped into the villa, Lu Baobei, who was originally having fun by herself, immediately ran over and called out "Dad" crisply. Lu Ji touched her head. Although he knew that Lu Baobei was not his daughter, the child was innocent. She was still so young and should not be involved in matters between adults.
Who knew that the next moment, Lu Baobei, with an innocent smile, suddenly attacked him.
The spiritual energy around Lu Ji surged, instantly forming a protective shield that withstood the attack.
The distance was too close, and this was the only way he could deal with it in such a hurry.
Lu Ji was knocked away, and "Baby Lu" took advantage of the situation to pursue him, shooting out long and thin black chains from between his five fingers, trying to pierce through his body.
Obviously, the "Baby Lu" in front of him is someone else.
Lu Ji thought of Wang Qiang's shadow guard who had the ability to copy.
The fight between the two was very fierce, from inside the house to outside, and countless objects and plants in the villa were destroyed. In the end, Lu Ji was more powerful and seriously injured the shadow guard. However, before he could subdue him, the shadow guard turned into a black shadow and disappeared on the spot.
Looking at the charred marks left where the shadow guard had been, Lu Ji frowned. He felt like he had seen these marks somewhere before.
Lu Ji came to the basement, and sure enough, Wang Qiang was no longer there.
It seems that he was taken away by the shadow guard.
Lu Baobao also disappeared, but Lu Ji was not worried about Lu Baobao's safety. After all, she was the daughter of Wang Qiang and Ying Wei.
However, what he didn't know was that the Shadow Guard was not a human, but a monster from deep underground, who was just using a human body to move around outside.
Since he is a demon, he naturally cannot have the concept of bloodline and offspring like humans. The reason why he got together with Wang Qiang and gave birth to a child was just to use the child to achieve a certain purpose.
Unfortunately, his plan was aborted because Lu Ji suddenly recovered his memory and could not be fully carried out.
Lu Ji found Yuan Xi and told him that the shadow guard had escaped. Worried that the shadow guard would show up again and hurt Xue Rong and Xue Huan, they both sent more people to secretly protect the mother and daughter.
Although Lu Ji and Yuan Xi both looked down on each other, they were surprisingly unanimous on the point of protecting Xue Rong and her daughter.
Time flies and it is the 32nd Talisman Conference. As one of the invited judges, Lu Ji naturally has to participate.
Yuan Xi brought Xue Huan in as a spectator.
This conference happened to be held in Tianyuan City, and the venue was the city’s largest gymnasium, which could accommodate tens of thousands of people.
Before the conference was held, numerous formations and barriers were set up around the gymnasium to prevent anyone from causing trouble.
The world of cultivation seems peaceful nowadays, but beneath the calm surface, there are dangerous undercurrents.
Yuan Xi had brought Xue Huan here purely as a spectator, with no intention of having her sign up for the competition. With Huan Huan's skill level, she was sure to achieve a good result in this competition. Even if she couldn't place in the top three, she would definitely be in the top ten.
Of course, good results would bring handsome rewards, but at the same time, Huanhuan's existence would inevitably come into the attention of various forces.
However, she is only three years old. It is not a good thing for her to reveal her talent for drawing talismans too early. It is likely to bring disaster to her. Some forces may even make a move against her and try to control her for their own use.
By then, Huanhuan will never have peace.
Although Huanhuan has the protection of him and Lu Ji, the Yuan and Lu families are not completely under their control. Moreover, even if they can mobilize all the power of the family to protect Huanhuan, they may not be able to protect her completely. If there is a loophole, Huanhuan will be in danger.
So, let Huanhuan be a spectator for now.
As for the prize items, he could get them for her at any time, so there was no need to take the risk of being coveted by others by participating in the competition.
But sometimes things don't develop according to his ideas, and reality cannot be changed by human will.
Just when the talisman conference was in full swing, a huge black dragon suddenly rushed out from the ground. It had no entity, and its body was made up of thick black fog. Its eyes were blood red, emitting a creepy red light.
Wherever it passes, any object it touches will make a sizzling sound as it corrodes.
"Monster!" The Jindan stage cultivator who presided over the conference exclaimed.
On the judges' panel, a flash of lightning suddenly struck Lu Ji's mind, clearing up the doubts hidden in the chaos!
No wonder he felt that the traces left by the shadow guard were familiar. Now he remembered that the traces left by the shadow guard were exactly the same as the traces left when the monster appeared in the world!
It’s a pity that he didn’t think of it before!
Looking at the rampaging monster before him, a small girl's figure loomed within the thick black mist. Wasn't that figure Lu Baobei?!
A long tongue stretched out from the monster's mouth like lightning, quickly wrapped around a monk, and put him into its mouth and swallowed him.
Every time the monster devoured a cultivator, its body became more solid and its strength grew stronger. After it unexpectedly devoured several cultivators in a row, all the high-level cultivators in the field united to attack the black dragon.
However, all the attacks on the black dragon were like a drop in the ocean, causing no harm to it at all.
The monks' attacks were useless to it, but the black mist surrounding it was extremely powerful. If it was touched at all, a piece of its body would be corroded. If that piece of flesh and blood was not cut off in time, the corrosion would spread to the whole body until the entire person was corroded.
Screams echoed throughout the gymnasium.
The originally bustling audience seats were now in chaos, with people shouting in fear and dodging everywhere.
Among these spectators, there are many powerful and wealthy people in the secular world. These people spent a lot of money just to come in and get close to the talented people in the world of cultivation, so that they can take the opportunity to make some connections, or discover some talented people among them and invest in them in the hope of getting returns in the future.
But before the goal was achieved, his life was in danger.
"Huanhuan, let me take you away from here first!" Yuan Xi was about to take Xue Huan away using the teleportation talisman.
He is certainly not a cold-blooded person, but in his opinion, all the people in the entire venue are not as important as Huanhuan alone, so he must send Huanhuan away first, ensure her safety, and then rescue her.
Xue Huan shook her head: "Brother Yuan Xi, please put me down. I have a way to subdue that black dragon."
"Hanhuan——"
