"Dare to make a move and see what happens!"

Shen Wang wasn't afraid of this person. Not mentioning the magic array, his own strength also gave him confidence in facing this individual.

However, if a real fight broke out, his identity might be exposed, so he had to rely on the array to trap these people and make an escape.

You Jiu Yin's eyes grew colder, and a ring of blue-black demon light burst forth. At the same time, the raindrops in the sky suddenly elongated, transforming into rapiers that pierced towards Shen Wang.

A layer of barrier appeared, and as the rain swords struck it, ripples spread across its surface.

The tiles and walls near the gate began to shatter upon impact. You Jiu Yin frowned, "There's an array as well; no wonder he's not panicking."

He raised his hand, and the raindrops gathered into a giant snake that grew rapidly, towering over the courtyard. Powerful energy spread, causing the ground to tremble and stones to fly.

"What's going on?"

"Who's fighting in the city?"

Nearby demons were alarmed and emerged with discontent, but upon seeing the enormous serpent, their expressions changed at once, and they quickly retreated without daring to scold.

The serpent, condensed from water vapor, roared furiously and charged, its tail sweeping sideways like a whip against the array.

Boom!

With a loud explosion, the entire gate shattered and vanished beneath the serpent's tail.

The array twisted violently, the gale buffeting Shen Wang as small objects in the courtyard flew up, creating a scene of chaos.

Inside the house, Youli watched the scene, feeling pained, "Husband, our home will be gone."

"Wherever I am is home. Don't be too sad; we'll leave soon."

Shen Wang held Youli, preparing to leave.

"Husband, let me go out and see. Let's ask the reason before leaving; maybe they mean no harm."

Youli suggested earnestly.

Shen Wang realized these people could probably track Youli. Even if she wasn't seen, they knew she was here, and escaping would likely still lead to being tracked.

Thus, going out to ask might not make much difference.

"Alright, I'll go with you and see if they're willing to explain."

Shen Wang supported Youli as they stepped out of the room.

He performed a hand gesture, further activating the array, and the entire courtyard gained an additional turtle shell-like layer, albeit one that seemed rather unstable due to its small size.

"Please don't harm my husband; let's talk it out."

Youli stepped out: "Are you here to capture me because of the Holy Blood?"

Shen Wang's true body stayed nearby without speaking, observing if Youli could find out anything.

Indeed, they needed to clarify what these people intended to do.

After all, it was strange that You Jiu Yin could pinpoint Youli's location but didn't come sooner, choosing this moment instead.

It was already a year since he killed the Rakshasa pursuers and hid here with Youli. Why come now?

"Youli!"

You Jiu Yin stared sharply at Youli, especially at her noticeably larger belly: "How dare you secretly consume the Holy Blood and still commit adultery with outsiders!"

"If you don't know how to talk, then shut your mouth. What do you mean by adultery?"

Shen Wang, hearing this, his eyes turned cold. He performed a gesture, and the array unleashed a killing intent, a flash of sharpness severing the serpent You Jiu Yin had conjured into two.

You Jiu Yin's pupils contracted: "You've got some skills; no wonder you dare covet women of my Dark Race."

With a grasp of his hand, the severed serpent squirmed and merged quickly, demonstrating divine techniques that didn't leave it useless like an ordinary serpent when cut in half.

"Why, dare to capture someone but not say the reason?"

Shen Wang held Youli back from stepping further forward.

"My You Family is capturing a guilty family member; what business is it of an outsider's to make noise?"

You Jiu Yin didn't reveal his true purpose and drew a sword from his hand. Then, with brilliant sword light, he slashed fiercely at Shen Wang.

"Not saying? Then forget about touching my woman."

Shen Wang held Youli tightly, transforming them into a black mist and left.

"Methods of the Rakshasa! You chase after my people and dare imprison her!"

You Jiu Yin, seeing the power Shen Wang used, mistook him for a Rakshasa, his eyes flaring with killing intent: "Break the array with all your might!"

Those who followed him began their assault, ferociously attacking the array, twisting it continuously and causing the courtyard to collapse.

Shen Wang's mana-infused body watched, channeling power to adjust the array.

His true body took Youli to the backyard, where he slowly activated a small teleportation array.

As the couple prepared to leave, a figure appeared in the air, and a loud voice rang out: "Who is causing such a commotion in my Black Stone City? Do you not know that fighting is forbidden here?"

Shen Wang, hearing the voice, paused: "Wife, don't be afraid. The Black Stone City Lord is here, let's see what happens."

"Husband, I feel that he didn't come for me."

Youli mused.

"Not for you; it should be for the Holy Blood in you."

Shen Wang remarked, "I won't let them take your blood."

"No, it's not that either."

Youli furrowed her brows: "You Jiu Yin is a high-level member of my race and also the Holy Son. He naturally possesses the Holy Blood and has better talent than me, who fused with the Holy Blood later on. If it was for the Holy Blood, he would have come long ago."

"Hmm, you're right. I also find this peculiar."

Shen Wang nodded: "If it's not for the Holy Blood, then what is it for? What do we have on us that's worth their coveting?"

"Indeed, what treasures do we have here?"

Youli was at a loss.

Shen Wang glanced at himself; his spiritual artifacts were left in the original world to protect his daughter. Now he had no great treasures.

Aside from possessing some advanced cultivation techniques, he had nothing significant, and even if he did, it might not suit the You Family.

Longevity Bloodline? It shouldn't be. His bloodline doesn't belong to this realm, and even if it benefits alchemy, its effectiveness here is limited. More importantly, it shouldn't have been discovered by the You Family, right?

Then what could it be?

At the courtyard entrance, You Jiu Yin paused his attack, speaking politely: "Black Stone City Lord, we mean no harm. We're acting now because of family matters, capturing a criminal who escaped the family."

In the air, the Black Stone City Lord mocked: "I don't meddle in your You Family's affairs, but here, please abide by my rules."

You Jiu Yin's face darkened: "Are you forbidding me to capture them?"

"For the sake of the You Family, I won't stop you, but don't make such a big commotion."

The Black Stone City Lord insisted forcefully: "The noise you're making could mislead others into believing my Black Stone City is under attack, causing panic among the many beings living here. Wouldn't others think I'm easy to push around?"

You Jiu Yin frowned, wary of the local power, and sneered: "Since the City Lord has spoken, I shall halt for now. But can the City Lord help me take down the people inside?"

"Naturally... impossible."

The Black Stone City Lord outright refused: "They haven't broken the rules of my Black Stone City, nor do they have any enmity with me. If I capture them just because of pressure from your You Family, who would dare live here in the future?"

"Fine, I understand, I won't make things difficult for the City Lord."

You Jiu Yin knew today's endeavors were futile, coolly addressing those inside the courtyard: "Consider yourselves lucky, but you can only hide for so long. I don't believe you can hide here forever."

With a wave of his hand: "Let's go!"
