Shen Fei nodded after listening. He had thought that there should be an outcome regarding the matter of Nie Li and Ye Ziyun.
Ye Ziyun has been with Nie Li for so long, from the City Lord's Mansion to Gulan Ruins to the Silver Wing Family to Dark Forest. Along the way, he can see the tacit understanding and bond between the two people.
Nie Li This person has always done things according to rules. He fights when it is time to fight, and proposes marriage when it is time to propose marriage. There is no delay in doing the two things.
It is also appropriate for the Heavenly Marks Family to come forward to propose marriage. Nie Yu is the person around Nie Li and can talk to the City Lord's Mansion. The betrothal gift is sent in the name of the Heavenly Marks Family, and it is natural for Ye Zong to accept it.
"How were the casualties on our side in the battle the day before yesterday?" Shen Fei looked away and asked.
The expression on old Steward's face calmed down, and his tone was a little deeper than before. "Our losses here are not big. Seven of the clan's guards who participated in the war were injured, most of them were injured by the Witch Ghost Family's Black Gold Rank masters on the outside. Their lives were not in danger. Nine of the twelve worshipers were injured, and the heaviest one was cut off two times. A finger, the medical officer said that he could not be taken back, but he is still alive. It's just..." Old Steward paused here, "City Lord's Mansion has a worshiper over there who was seriously injured after the war and could not be rescued. His surname is Zhou, Black Gold Rank 4-Star, and he has been with Mr. Ye Zong for almost twenty years."
Shen Fei was silent for a breath. Venerable Zhou, he remembered this man. He was in his fifties and didn't like to talk. Every time he went to the City Lord's Mansion to do business and met him in the corridor, the man would nod to him and never talk much.
He had seen Venerable Zhou in the square during the battle the day before yesterday. He was standing on the left side of the circle, holding a long knife in his hand. The blade was full of gaps. His left shoulder was stained with dark red Spiritual Power and he did not retreat.
Later, when he rushed to chop Wu Hong, he saw from the corner of his eye that Venerable Zhou was still holding on in the circle, but he didn't expect that he couldn't hold on after the battle.
He sighed softly and said nothing more. After the battle was won, people died. He had experienced this kind of thing too much in his previous life on City Wall. The dead could not come back, and the living had to finish what they should do.
"You go back, I'll go out for a while." Shen Fei said to old Steward.
Old Steward bowed and bowed, then returned to the yard with the tray.
Shen Fei stepped down the steps and walked along the main street in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.
The marriage proposal team on the road had already turned onto the stone road leading to the City Lord's Mansion, and the sound of gongs and drums became muffled at the corner ahead.
He couldn't walk fast, and there was a dull pain with every step he took where his left rib was broken. It wasn't like he couldn't walk, but he couldn't walk faster either. He simply slowed down his steps and let his body find its own rhythm.
When he arrived at the City Lord's Mansion side door, the guard guarding the door saw him and stepped aside to get out of the way.
Shen Fei nodded in agreement and walked along the corridor to Back Courtyard. Passed through the moon cave door, walked around the patio planted with bamboos, and walked along the stone road to Nie Li's yard.
When I walked to the entrance of the courtyard, the door was ajar and light came from inside.
He opened the door and walked in. Nie Li was sitting next to the stone table in the yard, with a blueprint spread out in front of him and a charcoal pencil in his hand. He was drawing something on the blueprint with his head down.
Nie Li heard the footsteps and raised his head, glanced at him, and put down the charcoal pencil in his hand.
"Are you awake?"
"Wake up." Shen Fei walked to the stone table and stood still, his eyes falling on the open drawings.
It was a structural diagram of Formation Array, with dense lines covering the entire paper. The main lines radiated from the center to the surroundings, and the branch lines were interlaced in the middle.
There are many places on the picture circled with charcoal, with dense small characters marked next to them. Shen Fei recognized the basic direction of those lines, which came from the same source as Ten Thousand Demons and Spirits Array's ground lines, but many details have been changed.
Nie Li followed his gaze and glanced at the drawing, put the charcoal on the table, and said calmly, "Don't worry, I will improve Ten Thousand Demons and Spirits Array. The day before yesterday, they made a hole in the formation wall, and the flaw has been They remembered it, and they will definitely go to that position next time. I rearranged the pattern direction, encrypted the nodes at that position three times, and increased the redundancy of the Spiritual Power loop. Next time they dare to come, they will never come back."
Shen Fei nodded. He believed in Nie Li's strength.
Everything this person brought out, from Ten Thousand Demons and Spirits Array to Soul-Gathering Pill to Heavenly Meteor Divine Thunder Sword, none of it was unreliable. Nie Li said it could make up for the flaw, so it means it can make up for it.
Nie Li rolled up the drawing and put it into the roll next to it. He leaned on the back of the chair and turned to look at Shen Fei. His eyes paused on Shen Fei's face for two breaths, and then he said, "There is one more thing I want to tell you. After you get on Legendary Rank, come and find me."
Shen Fei asked, "What's the matter?"
Nie Li did not answer directly, but leaned back on the chair and tapped his fingers on the table twice. "You should be able to feel it yourself. Your Demon Spirit is very strong. It is obviously Assassin-type Demon Spirit, but it can fight head-on with Combat-type Demon Spirit without falling behind."
After hearing this sentence, Shen Fei did not answer immediately. He did know that Shadow Mantis was Assassin-type Demon Spirit. Speed, concealment, and assassination were its strengths. Head-on defense and impact power were not its strengths.
But it can be seen from the battle the day before yesterday that after the fusion of Shadow Mantis, he resisted Wu Hong's punch head-on. Although he was knocked away in the end, most of the force of the punch was removed by Blade Forelimbs, and the rest was transmitted to his body.
If it were another Assassin-type Demon Spirit, the arm would be broken immediately with one punch and it would be impossible to remove it.
Moreover, after Shadow Mantis absorbed Dark Law into the Black Prison Underground Palace, the virtual shadow changed from a mist to a thick ink-like entity. The hardness and sharpness of the cutting edge of Blade Forelimbs were far higher than those of the same level, and were different from any Assassin-type Demon Spirit he had ever encountered.
Shen Fei I remembered that in Black Prison, the senior had already told me before he left, asking me to train Demon Spirit well.
Nie Li continued, "Your Demon Spirit can awaken and become its true form when it is Legendary Rank. Then come to me and I will help you complete the awakening process. The Demon Spirit after awakening is completely two levels from the one before awakening. You will know what it looks like when you reach Legendary Rank."
Shen Fei responded, "Okay."
Just as he was about to turn around and go out, Nie Li spoke again, "By the way, there is one more thing. Let Ling'er come with you later. Our strength is too weak and we can't delay it any longer."
Shen Fei stopped and looked back at Nie Li.
Nie Li's expression was calm when he said this, and there was no fluctuation in his tone, but Shen Fei could hear the weight of "can't delay it any longer". He won the battle the day before yesterday, but it was a fluke.
