Tonghui sat cross-legged on the main seat of the formation. The moment the formation was activated, Lianyi fell into a deep sleep again. A ball of black mist jumped out of Tonghui's body and rushed into Lianyi's body.
The Li family was standing on the periphery. The moment they saw the formation activated, Lianyi fainted and then showed excited expressions, as if they could see a scene where they had endless gold, silver and treasures.
The Li family members, who were feeling proud, suddenly felt something dark in front of their eyes. The moment they looked down, they found that they were also standing on a pattern glowing red. Realizing something was wrong, they wanted to escape, but it was too late.
If there were an expert here, he would find that the vitality of the Li family was rapidly fading, and everyone was aging rapidly, and finally turned into skeletons in gorgeous clothes and died.
At this moment, the black evil energy in Lianyi's body wanted to rush out, but it was too late. Even though he used the formation to extract the vitality of the Li family to help him break through, he still failed.
The evil spirit did not expect that the other party's soul was actually protected by the golden light of merit. The soul of Tonghui, which was contaminated by evil spirit, could only roar and struggle, instinctively avoiding the golden light ball.
At this time, the relic bracelet that Lianyi secretly put on her wrist again emitted a faint golden light, isolating Lianyi's body from the scarlet formation beneath her and protecting Lianyi's body.
A black wind was raging over the Li Mansion, accompanied by the sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling, which was particularly creepy in the silent night. The night watchman looked in the direction of the Li Mansion with a pale face, and even forgot to knock the clapper in his hand. He sat down on the ground, then crawled away, not even daring to scream.
Lianyi used the golden light of her own merit to weave a net, trapping Tonghui's soul and the evil spirit that had merged with her. Then her spiritual power circulated, rapidly consuming the evil spirit. After a full hour, her dantian became empty, and she could no longer squeeze out a trace of spiritual power.
Lianyi did not take back her golden light net of merit. Instead, she moved her spiritual consciousness, took out a piece of spiritual marrow from the space and held it in her hand, quickly replenishing her lost spiritual power. After her dantian was filled again, she directly strangled him. With a scream, Tonghui's consciousness was completely destroyed.
Lian Yi's soul returned to its place. He then opened his eyes, glanced at the mummies around him, and snorted coldly:
"You're really asking for trouble!"
Originally, she didn't want to implicate innocent people, and planned to move the servants out of the mansion after Tonghui activated the formation. However, the Li family didn't want anyone to know what they had done, so they drove all the servants to the outer courtyard, and they all gathered in Fanghua Garden.
As a result, the evil spirit treated them as backup forces. When they were trapped in Lianyi's body and fought, they were defeated and directly drained the life of the Li family. Lianyi had no sympathy for the Li family at all, and they were the ones who let the wolf into the house.
"Congratulations, you have completed one third of your mission, and have completely reversed your original fate of becoming a fallen witch. Please keep up the good work!"
Shijiu said something at the right time to make his presence felt.
It would be dawn if they stayed any longer. Lianyi left Li's mansion in a flash, then jumped lightly onto the tall city wall, and disappeared in the next breath.
A sleepy soldier rubbed his eyes, as if to make sure if he was seeing things, then ran to the edge of the wall and looked down. There was nothing there, so he muttered "I must have seen things", and continued to doze off against the wall.
Ten miles outside the city, Wen Lu and Min Min had already met up with Luo Ying and the others, and were anxiously looking at the official road leading to the capital.
"Can the lady get away successfully?"
"Should be able to, Miss's kung fu is no weaker than my mother's."
Minmin explained to Luo Ying in a low voice, while also trying to convince herself.
The sound of horse hooves clattering from afar startled the anxiously waiting people, who looked in the direction where the mist was dispersing.
"It's Miss! Miss is back!"
Luo Huai was the first to speak in surprise and joy.
"Let's go and greet the young lady!"
Minmin raised the small whip in her hand, and the big maroon horse under her neighed, then rushed out towards the ripples that were coming from far away.
After the group successfully reunited, Wen Lu and Wu Meng asked Lian Yi where the next stop was.
"After tomorrow, I will be an adult. I want to travel around this beautiful country and satisfy my fantasy of being a female knight."
Lianyi swung the small whip in her hand and said in high spirits.
Everyone: “.”
"Okay, stop looking at me like that. I finally got rid of those wolves staring at me. Do I have to go back? Besides, the Li family has already suffered a backlash for letting the wolves into the house. This matter will spread tomorrow. There is no way we can go back to Jiangnan now."
Lian Yi spread his hands.
"Miss, will the housekeeper and the others be okay?"
Luo Ying asked anxiously.
"Even if they find out, we won't be implicated. After all, we left with the guards of the Li Mansion. We saw more than one or two people, including the black hand behind the scenes. As long as we don't go back, they will be safe."
"Then we'll listen to the young lady."
"It's alright. If we come across a suitable place to settle down while traveling, we will build another Wu Mansion. Your lady is not short of money."
Lianyi said in a very generous manner.
Everyone had helpless looks on their faces. Since they were already on the young lady's boat, they could only follow her. After all, the young lady had never treated them unfairly.
All of these guards have no family burden and are the type that can leave at any time. It was only then that everyone realized that their young lady had probably planned this in advance.
"Get on the horses! Let's go!"
At Lianyi's command, everyone got on their horses. In order to travel as quickly as possible, they had already abandoned the carriage. Even Liang Chen had a horse of his own.
On the second day, the gate of the capital city opened on time. At the same time, the servants of the Li Mansion finally found the masters of the mansion in Fanghua Garden. The shrill screams scared away the birds and attracted onlookers.
Finally, it was the housekeeper of the Li Mansion who opened the door and crawled to report to the authorities. The Li Mansion was surrounded by the yamen runners of Jingzhao Prefecture, and then all the famous coroners in the capital were called in. Then the bodies of more than a dozen members of the Li family were carried out.
Because the deaths of the Li family members were horrific, and there seemed to be signs of sorcery at the scene, as there was a rotting corpse of a Taoist nun, and the cousin of the Li family who said she was going to hold a coming-of-age ceremony was also missing, when the government office found Wendi Street, there was nothing there.
The owner of the yard flatly denied that he had sold the yard, or even rented it out, because it was a haunted house and it was almost a lost cause in his hands. If you just ask around a little, you will know the reason, so it has remained empty.
The neighbors around also confirmed the homeowner's statement, saying that the yard had always been empty and no one had ever lived in it.
"Sir, if someone secretly moved in, we would be able to find out. After all, everyone has to eat, drink, defecate and urinate, so how could there be no noise?"
The bailiffs were also convinced because when they went in and took a look, the yard did not look like anyone had ever lived there and it looked eerie and a little scary.
Afterwards, the rumor that the evil Taoist priest was seeking revenge spread in the capital, and the emperor, who was obsessed with alchemy, also learned about it.
See you tomorrow~
