Chapter 1077: Purifying Lotus Fire
Luo Li narrowed her eyes slightly and raised her hand to stop Xie Shiyuan from opening the door. "Wait a minute, something is wrong."
Xie Shiyuan stopped trying to open the door, "What?"
Luo Li looked at him, "Do you remember what Di Chen said at the end of the banquet?"
Xuan Mu recalled for a moment and said, "He said, see you tomorrow?"
"Yes," Luo Li raised her eyes, "but now, the banquet has just ended, and we haven't told him the location of our inn. How could Di Chen come?"
Luo Li gathered a wisp of ice-blue spiritual power at her fingertips and raised her hand to press on the door.
The wooden door suddenly became transparent, revealing the scene outside - Di Chen was dragging a distorted shadow behind him.
"It's a puppet, not Di Chen." Wen Xingyan suddenly pressed the sword at his waist.
As they were talking in low voices, 'Di Chen' outside the door spoke again: "Young Master Luo? I know you are here."
Luo Li narrowed her eyes, "You guys stay in the room. I'm going to go out and see what Di Wuyou wants to do by sending Di Chen's puppet."
Lan Xiaoxiao and the others said worriedly, "Be careful. If you find anything wrong, make some noise to alert us."
Luo Li smiled and said, "Okay."
She raised her hand and opened the door. "Son, there's no need to be so impatient. It's not like I won't come out to see you."
The moment Luo Li stepped out of the room, she lightly scratched the door frame with her fingertips, and an ice crystal barrier silently unfolded.
She gathered her sleeves as if unintentionally, but in fact she had summoned Xuan Yue.
"The Holy Son is visiting so late at night, is it about today's banquet?"
She pretended not to notice the unnatural shift in the other person's shadow.
Di Chen said, "Young Master Luo, I came here to ask about my sister's condition."
Luo Li's eyebrows moved slightly, and she smiled and said, "With Patriarch Di here, how could Miss Di be in trouble?"
The corners of Di Chen's lips slightly raised stiffly, "Miss Luo is right."
Luo Li's eyes moved, and at this moment, 'Di Chen' suddenly raised his hand, and a golden light hit her throat!
"bite--"
The moment the dark moon collided with the golden light, Luo Li spun around and leaped into the courtyard.
Under the moonlight, she finally saw clearly that the puppet's pupils were actually overlapping, and the inner pupil was the same dark purple as Di Wuyou's.
"It's you," she sneered, tapping the ground with her toes. "Is this how the Di family treats guests?"
The mysterious celestial ice spread rapidly along the blue bricks, freezing the puppet's feet in place.
Dozens of poisoned hidden weapons suddenly shot out from the darkness, but were all blocked by the ice wall that suddenly rose up three feet away from her.
Lan Xiaoxiao's exclamation suddenly came from the second floor of the inn.
Luo Li's heart tightened when she saw three other puppets that looked exactly like Xie Shiyuan and his two companions breaking in through the window.
The real companions were trapped in the house by the sudden black fog, and Xuan Mu's sword light flickered in the black fog.
"Emperor Wuyou!" Luo Li swung her sword and icicles poured down from the sky like a rainstorm, illuminating the courtyard as bright as day.
The men in black hiding in the dark appeared one after another, and they all had the same dark patterns on their foreheads as the soul-eating insects.
Luo Li gritted her teeth, "He is indeed someone whose mind is controlled."
Fortunately, they are not very strong. It seems that Di Wuyou is afraid that the situation will get out of hand and will be difficult to resolve, so he plans to disguise them as people from the Demon God Temple.
The puppet Emperor Chen suddenly raised his lips strangely: "Young Master Luo better stay away from me, otherwise..."
Before he finished speaking, a silver chain came through the air and directly smashed the puppet's head.
The real Emperor Chen landed on the courtyard wall in the moonlight, with blazing white flames wrapped around his silver chain.
Behind him followed the pale-faced Di Shiwei, the emerald lotus lamp in her hand emitting a clear light that could purify evil spirits.
"Purifying Lotus Fire!" A terrified cry came from the darkness, "Retreat!"
The moment the black fog touched the flame, it melted like snow, and the trapped Lan Xiaoxiao and others immediately rushed out.
A wave of emotion appeared on Di Chen's cold face. "Are you all okay? Sorry, I didn't expect him to act so quickly."
Di Shiwei's face was still a little pale, "How could someone be so arrogant! How dare they attack Miss Luo in the Imperial City!"
Luo Li and the others looked at each other. It seemed that Di Shiwei really didn't know that the person who attacked her was her and Di Chen's father, Di Wuyou.
Luo Li calmly took back Xuan Yue and said softly, "Miss Di's body has not recovered yet, so she shouldn't have come out rashly."
Di Shiwei shook her head, the lotus lamp trembling slightly in her hand, "I sensed the power fluctuations of the Demon God Temple in the city, but I didn't expect..."
She looked at the remains of the puppet on the ground, her pupils shrinking slightly, "This is..."
"It's the Demon God Temple's puppetry," Di Chen interrupted her, the flames on the silver chain suddenly extinguished, "They have always wanted to harm the Di family."
Luo Li noticed that when Di Chen said this, he made a hand gesture with his fingertips imperceptibly, and a ray of golden light silently penetrated into the back of Di Shiwei's neck.
Di Shiwei's eyes were dazed for a moment.
"Sister, go back and rest first," Di Chen supported her, "Leave this to me."
After Di Shiwei left, the atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly became tense.
"Did you use the Calming Technique on her?" Luo Li frowned slightly.
Di Chen was silent for a moment, "She can't know the truth."
Lan Xiaoxiao couldn't help but say, "But he's her biological father! She has the right to know—"
"Know what?" Di Chen suddenly raised his eyes, golden patterns suddenly appearing in his eyes. "Do you know that her beloved father, in order to control her brother, planted a soul-devouring insect in her body since she was born and used his heart blood to cultivate soul patterns?"
Everyone was shocked.
Wen Xingyan suddenly pointed his sword at the southeast corner, "Someone's here!"
A black shadow fled in panic, and Di Chen's silver chain shot out like lightning, but was blocked by a purple light the moment it touched the man's vest.
"It was Di Wuyou's shadow guard," Xuan Mu said in a deep voice, "I'm not sure if he heard our conversation just now."
Luo Li looked at the quiet night around her and said, "Let's leave here first."
Everyone nodded and went straight to the most prosperous inn in the center of the imperial city to stay in.
Luo Li raised her hand and cast a barrier, "Emperor Wuyou's men won't be able to get here anytime soon."
Di Chen was a little worried, "Sister..."
Wen Xingyan said, "He still needs Di Shiwei to restrain you. She won't be in danger."
Di Chen pursed his lips, "You guys..."
Luo Li and the others crossed their arms and raised their chins, "Tell me."
The corner of Xie Shiyuan's lips curled up, revealing an extremely unruly expression, which almost made the others laugh.
She herself said calmly, "The Emperor's Son has never left the Emperor's family in all these years. What's going on?"
Di Chen answered honestly, "The Di Family's Holy Son needs to stay in the Imperial City, and my emotions are controlled by the Mind Control Spell, so I have never left the Di Family."
Luo Li's fingertips stroked the hilt of the Xuan Yue Sword, a cold light flashing in her eyes: "When did he cast the mind-control spell on you?"
Di Chen's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he unbuttoned his collar to reveal a pale golden curse mark on his collarbone. "Since the age of six, my soul has been connected to my elder sister's. If I ever feel the desire to leave her, she will cough up blood."
