The Li family's buildings were ma.s.sive and majestic. The layout was a little similar to that of an ancient prince's residence, but there were more modern buildings inside.

Chu Luo flew among the branches. If not for Phoenix's warning, she would have triggered the omnipresent alarm long ago.

Jumping down on the roof of a house, Chu Luo said to Phoenix using a secret language, “Can you find out where he is?”

Didn't he say that his place was impregnable and that no one could barge in? In that case, she would just appear in front of him and scare him.

Chu Luo was a little excited when she thought of the cracks that would appear on Li Yan's cold face when he saw her.

Phoenix quickly sensed where Li Yan was.

Chu Luo tapped her toes, ready to rush over.

Suddenly, the sound of a zither entered her ears. The sound of the zither seemed capable of moving one's heartstrings and carried with it a curse that could control people.

Chu Luo looked up and saw energy waves that no one else could see enveloping the entire courtyard. She clenched her fists and was so excited that her eyes lit up.

“It's the Phoenix Zither!”

The Phoenix Zither was an ancient divine artifact. The person playing the zither didn't even unleash half of its true power.

Phoenix was also thrilled. “Mistress, after obtaining the Phoenix Zither, I will be able to come out.”

Chu Luo quickly jumped back.

The further they went, the fewer buildings there were. In the end, they actually reached an extremely s.p.a.cious training ground.

At this moment, there were two groups of people confronting each other in the training ground. On one side was Li Yan's men, and on the other side were the Phoenix Zither player and his men.

There weren't many people on the other side, but every one of them had a different aura compared to ordinary people. Their abilities couldn't be underestimated.

Li Yan's side was more simple and brutal. Everyone was holding heat weapons.

“Tsk, tsk, how many people has Li Yan offended? Why are such people here every time?”

As Chu Luo spoke, she sat down on the roof.

Just watching a show.

One of the outsiders shouted, “If you know what's good for you, hand over the jade pendant. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude to you.”

“Hmph!” Li Yan snorted. “That depends on whether you have the ability.”

“You…” The person who was shouting was obviously angered by his uncooperative tone. “Initially, we wouldn't touch ordinary people casually. Since you don't want to hand over the jade pendant, don't blame us for making an exception… Fifth Sister, play the zither. ”

The rapid melody of the zither sounded again, accompanied by a sharp wind blade that stabbed towards Li Yan.

Li Yan's men immediately s.h.i.+elded him with their s.h.i.+elds. Li Yan ordered in a low voice, “Attack.”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound of the zither and gunshots instantly mixed together.

This was the first time Chu Luo had seen such a mix of modern weapons and ancient weapons. She'd initially thought that Li Yan's side would be defeated soon. Unexpectedly, his side's weapons weren't weak, and he had more people on his side.

After a while, both sides were injured. Li Yan probably felt that they were dealing with these people too slowly, so he directly ordered, “Fire away.”

Then, a few people pushed cannons and aimed them from all directions.

Chu Luo: “…”

If these people really started firing away, what if the Phoenix Zither was damaged?

The other party was also shocked by Li Yan's ruthlessness. One of them quickly took out a talisman and tossed it in the air. He bit his finger and started drawing.

“How dare you use the Lightning Guiding Curse on ordinary people!”

As a High Priestess, she hated it when people with special abilities used their powers to deal with ordinary people.

Of course, there's also the fact that she had to negotiate with this man. How could she let him die?

Rumble…

When an explosion happened in the air, everyone heard a clear and pleasant “retract.”

Then, the bolt of lightning disappeared in midair, as if it had been caught by something.

Before anyone could react, Chu Luo's body shook and she stood between the two sides.

Chu Luo didn't look at the others but turned to look at Li Yan instead. She grinned at him and negotiated terms with him. “As long as you agree to cooperate with me, I'll help you.”

Li Yan looked at Chu Luo and frowned.

“Hey! What kind of expression is that? Don't you know that if that bolt of lightning had exploded just now, this place would have been reduced into ashes?”

Li Yan looked up at the people who were obviously unhappy with Chu Luo's sudden appearance. He tightened his grip on his Buddha beads and his gaze turned even colder. “You just need to make them lose their special abilities.”

Chu Luo was surprised, but she still nodded at him. Then, she pretended to throw a bell from her pocket and chanted in her heart, “Phoenix, take it.”

After a flash of red light, the expressions of those experts changed.

The person who was playing the zither spat out a mouthful of blood. In the next second, her Phoenix Zither disappeared into thin air.

“Ah, my Phoenix Zither!”

Li Yan looked at them and raised his hand to order coldly, “Attack.”

Then, he walked over and grabbed Chu Luo's wrist before walking back.

The sound of an unusually intense fight came from behind.

As Chu Luo was being held by the wrist on their way out of the training grounds, she turned around and saw a dark group of men in black beating up those people.

The two of them walked for a few meters before Li Yan let go of her wrist.

Chu Luo asked deliberately as she watched him walk, “Didn't you say that no one can enter your place?”

Li Yan glanced at her with his cold eyes and continued walking.

He was tall and had long legs. She had to take two steps to keep up with his one stride, so she could only jog. This didn't stop her from wanting to continue berating him.

“If you had agreed to the exchange with me earlier, I would have set up an array for your home that no one can enter.”

Li Yan suddenly stopped and turned to look at her. He said firmly, “You're not Chu Luo.”

Then, his gaze turned sharp. “Who are you?”
