The dispersed black mist gradually gathered, becoming thicker and more alive, trembling violently!
After forming a seal with her hands, Shen Yanli enveloped the black mist with a golden light, wrapping it tightly. She raised her fingers before her face and shouted fiercely at the evil entity, "Demon, surrender now!"
The black mist struggled fiercely, trying to break free from Shen Yanli's binding, but despite its efforts, Shen Yanli's profound cultivation made its struggle futile!
"Who are you? Why are you interfering with my affairs?!" An androgynous, deep voice shook Shen Yanli's eardrums.
Shen Yanli stood mid-air, her eyes showing fierceness, and rebuked, "Demon! You have committed countless evils and still dare to act presumptuously here! Watch me take you down today!"
The demon sneered, "And who are you? You say I've done countless evils? What proof do you have to claim so? Just because I am a demon, do you assume all evil is my doing?! If so, then even in death, I shall take all the Wang Family with me as a burial companion!"
"What are you planning to do?!" Shen Yanli shouted in fury.
The demon let out a laugh filled with despair, shaking heaven and earth. Under the barrier, the grass, trees, and rocks at the Wang Family Mansion were swept up by a violent black wind. The black tiles of the house shattered into countless pieces, flying towards the sky. As one looked upwards, the black night seemed to open up a bottomless black hole, sucking everything on the ground into it.
"Demon, how dare you act so recklessly! Today, I will make you vanish into ashes!" A flash of golden light passed through Shen Yanli's palm as the Cangli Sword appeared in her hand. She wielded the sword, transforming into a beam of white light charging into the center of the black whirlwind.
"Master!" Mo Bai ignored Shen Yanli's orders, rushing out worriedly, shouting towards the black whirlwind.
But there was no response to be had!
The black whirlwind swallowed Shen Yanli whole, leaving no trace!
What should I do? The master is gone!
Could she be in danger?
"I can't let the master get hurt! I must protect her!" Mo Bai muttered worriedly as he looked up at the black whirlwind.
Meanwhile, at the center of the whirlwind, Shen Yanli saw a woman in purple gauze floating before her. Her black hair was wildly blown by the wind, and her beautiful eyes glowed with purple light, filled with endless pain and despair.
Shen Yanli pointed her sword at the woman, demanding, "Why are you causing trouble here?!"
The woman coldly gazed at Shen Yanli and chuckled, "You're not a Wang Family member; why meddle?"
"You are a demon! Doing evil is already wrong!" Shen Yanli scolded angrily.
The woman in purple sneered, "Who would willingly be a demon? It's just that this world is never fair!"
Suddenly, a wisp of black mist coiled around the woman in purple, transforming into a Red Belly Black Snake. The snake hissed a brilliantly red tongue and spoke human words in a deep male voice.
"Why say so much to this person?! Humans have always been evil! Remember how they treated you? Have you ever been treated with kindness?" As the snake spoke, the woman in purple instantly lost awareness and bowed her head, silent.
"Yes! Humans have only endless greed and desire! They all deserve to die! They all should die!" The woman in purple repeated the words as if bewitched, growing more intense and frenzied, nearly losing control.
Shen Yanli realized that the powerful Evil Power was emanating from the Red Belly Black Snake, and the woman in purple was just a controlled puppet!
A flash of purple light appeared, and a bamboo flute materialized in the hands of the woman in purple. She raised the flute and played a strange melody. Shen Yanli's body quivered as she held the sword; the Demon Sound disturbed her mind, causing a splitting headache.
Mo Bai stood in the courtyard, the eerie flute sound also reaching his ears. With already low cultivation and poor aptitude, he couldn't bear it; he knelt on the ground clutching his ears tightly, but the sound drilled into his ears uncontrollably, causing him excruciating pain, his face twisted in agony!
Shen Yanli, holding her breath and focusing her mind, employed her magic, enveloping herself in a golden light. She felt somewhat better, steadily pointing the Cangli Sword at the woman in purple, ready to slay her.
The woman in purple concentrated on playing the flute, unperturbed by Shen Yanli since the Red Belly Black Snake on her body was fiercely hissing a scarlet tongue, like an arrow loosed from a bowstring, suddenly darting towards Shen Yanli.
At the moment of contact, the Red Belly Black Snake scattered into a humanoid black mist. He grasped a long red whip in his hand and lashed it towards Shen Yanli, tightly entangling the Cangli Sword.
