For many streets in "Saint Demon City", every time after night, the streets are full of people, the lights are shining, and the business of each shop becomes more and more popular.
Especially the street where Li Yan is located, and because it is close to "Holy Devil Palace", this street usually doesn't get quiet until after the early morning, which makes almost all merchants want to use all the time to do business.
Shops like Li Yan, which closed early, seem a bit different here. However, a situation like Li Yan is not unique to "Gu Xingyuan" in the city.
At the same time, situations similar to Li Yan will also appear in various Chufang cities and Xiuxian cities, but there will not be too many. This is related to the personalities of some shop owners.
It's like someone who is tired of wandering outside. Once he settles down, even if he opens a business, he will no longer let himself be so busy and spend too much time on business, but will do what he wants.
There are also some monks who have no hope of ever being promoted in this life, so they want to live a leisurely life and open a shop. They think it is enough to make a living, and they will not really work hard for the shop.
Li Yan does this for his own purpose. He wants the people around him to get used to his personality and prepare for a certain aspect of the follow-up plan in advance.
Once a target appears, once a suitable opportunity appears, and he has already laid various traps in the store, Li Yan will definitely capture the person immediately.
However, when the store door is wide open, naturally you cannot take action. You can only close the store door and then open the formation inside so that no one can detect the situation in the store, which can serve as a cover.
Of course, such a situation cannot be done temporarily, otherwise even nearby shops will be suspicious, so Li Yan did it in advance. After letting these people slowly adapt, over time, they will not be surprised.
Just like the current peripheral shops, they all know that Wang Xing has a very indifferent temperament. Not only does he rarely take the initiative to talk to others, but if he feels that the business is almost done that day, he may close the store in advance.
The other party may either go to practice later or go to spend his leisure time. That is really the fairy life that many people envy...
Today Li Yan closed the shop in advance again. After activating the formation, he quickly entered the backyard, and then entered a house in a flash. With a wave of his hand, the formation here was also activated immediately.
The next moment, he was sitting on a big chair. His face was still as calm as water, but he quickly separated a ray of Divine Sense and instantly penetrated into "Tuban"!
As soon as Divine Sense entered "Tuban", it transformed into an illusory figure that looked like Li Yan, and then flew towards the far north. The illusory figure entered the ice field at a rapid speed, passed through the wind and snow as quickly as the wind, and continued to sweep towards the mountain peaks behind...
At the entrance of a cave on a mountain peak, when Li Yan arrived, the illusory figure disappeared as soon as he entered. The restriction that enveloped the mountain had no blocking effect on his arrival.
In the cave, Li Yan's illusory figure quickly solidified. At a glance, he saw that the colorful light group that was originally suspended in mid-air in the center of the cave had disappeared.
But at this moment, there is an illusory figure on the ground. The figure's body is exuding a white light. It looks like a huge mosquito, but it just lies there, motionless, as if it has fallen into a deep sleep.
"Qianji!"
Although Li Yan still kept his expression as usual, there was a hint of surprise in his voice, and this was the reason why Li Yan closed the store early today.
Just as Li Yan was talking to Ding Liumin, a somewhat distant yet somewhat familiar voice suddenly came from his mind.
"Master! Master..."
Li Yan was shocked at that time. It was the voice of Qianji, which he had lost contact with for a long time. This voice seemed to have traveled through the ages and echoed in his mind. It was so unreal.
This made Li Yan think that he heard wrongly, but Ding Liumin was still in the store at that time, so Li Yan could only resist the urge to drive him away immediately. Finally, he saw that this person wanted to get the Gu insects and take advantage.
Li Yan After only symbolically bargaining with the other party, he pretended to be generous and gave away a lot of spiritual stones. The purpose was to make the other party leave early. As soon as Ding Liumin left, he immediately closed the shop...
Qianji was lying there thinking about things, with endless confusion and fear in his heart. He didn't know what kind of confusion he was in before he woke up!
At a certain moment today, Qianji suddenly became conscious. At that moment, he felt that his perceptions began to converge. The moment he opened his eyes, he found that he was surrounded by a group of colored lights. He didn't know what was going on? He also forgot too many things!
He instinctively spread his wings, and suddenly there was a crisp crackling sound around him. The colorful light group that enveloped him instantly shattered, then turned into dots of starlight in the air, and scattered around Qianji's body.
Then Qianji's body fell to the ground. He looked around blankly, looking at the scattered stars. For a moment, his brain seemed to be running out of energy.
"Where... is this? Why can't I remember?"
Qianji looked around in surprise, and found that this place looked like a cave abode. The surrounding area was exuding an icy cold atmosphere that made him very comfortable. However, when he looked around, he saw that he was not familiar with this place. He must have never been here before.
What frightened him even more was that he found that his body was actually a mass of illusion. He couldn't help but use his long mouthpart to insert it towards the wings, and then penetrated through it as if they were unrelated, but he didn't feel any pain at all.
"This... is this a soul body?"
Qianji is a monk of the Nascent Soul Realm. He also spent a long time with Zi Kun when he was a soul. More importantly, he comes from Northern Underworld Demon-Suppressing Tower, where Demon Beast is naturally very sensitive to various souls.
So he immediately saw his physical condition. In shock, Qianji still waved his wings in disbelief and patted his head, but he still found that it was like a breeze blowing!
The current state of Qianji cannot be compared with the original Zi Kun. Zi Kun itself is the object being sacrificed and exists as Artifact Spirit. If the soul power is concentrated, the soul body can be in a substantial state. Qianji at this moment is completely the most primitive soul body.
At this time, Qianji suddenly felt a burst of heartbreaking pain in his consciousness. He couldn't help but scream, and then countless memories rushed into his consciousness like a raging wave.
When he screamed, it was only the first wave of severe pain that hit him, and the subsequent flood-like pain was even more unstoppable, as if it was about to shatter and tear his entire soul.
"Ah... ah... stop, stop quickly, I'm going to die! I'm going to be finished, I'm really going to be finished..."
Qianji kept tumbling on the ground. He was a soul. Once pain occurred, it would be soul-rending pain. This kind of pain was many times greater than the severe pain of the physical body.
Qianji Before he could figure out what was going on, he was already rolling on the ground in pain. He felt like he was going to die. Without any image, he was rolling and howling miserably, and there was even more crying behind him!
Just like that, Qianji didn't know if it was only a few breaths, or if days or years had passed. Anyway, he felt that the time was very, very long, so long that it made his "tears" painful and he could not stop it. Of course, that would be if there were tears.
At a certain moment, the severe pain that made him cry for father and mother suddenly disappeared completely, leaving only Qianji lying limply on the ground, his body still twitching.
Although the severe pain disappeared, Qianji felt as if his bone marrow had been drained, and his consciousness was completely blank. It was not until a long time later that his eyes focused again. He just subconsciously wanted to get up.
"Ah! You... you come again!"
Qianji let out a shrill scream, and suddenly his wings instinctively moved to protect his head. As soon as his body moved, it was as if something exploded and rushed out of the sea of consciousness. This caused him to fall to the ground again after he had just straightened up.
However, because he had no physical body, only his screams could be heard, but there was no sound of falling down and hitting the ground hard.
However, this time the pain was no longer felt by the entire soul, but only existed in the consciousness, and it only happened once, and then gradually weakened and dissipated.
This made Qianji, who was already semi-awake, no longer dare to move around after the second sting receded. He didn't know what the reason was for the severe pain that came out of his body for no reason.
Qianji felt like he was about to lose his mind these two times, which were as painful as cramps and skin peeling off. With his wings protecting his head, he did not dare to move even until the pain completely disappeared.
After a while, Qianji slowly lowered one wing and found that there was no pain again. With a look of fear on his face, he slowly lowered the other wing.
The pain that frightened him still didn't hit him. Qianji then raised his head and looked around. There was nothing abnormal around him. It seemed that he was the only "person" kneeling there in the cave abode hall.
Regarding his image, Qianji has no shame at all. He is in such pain. As long as he is sure that he is still alive, it is better than anything else. Why should he care about other things.
He half-knelt like that, and after waiting for a while, he found that the severe pain no longer appeared under his body and head, and he slowly stood up.
The panic disappeared a lot, which made Qianji's attention return to his body again. When his attention returned to his body, he unconsciously used his consciousness to think, but before he could think of anything?
"Holy shit!"
Qianji let out another shrill scream. Just as he was thinking about things, he felt a sharp stabbing pain in his consciousness, as if a hot steel needle had penetrated and suddenly penetrated his consciousness.
