The Yun Mansion was very quiet at night. All the servants returned to their rooms to rest after cleaning. Only the security personnel responsible for patrolling were still working.
They are responsible for ensuring that no petty thieves sneak into the huge Yun Mansion at night and cause unnecessary trouble.
This place is too big, and there are three shifts of people patrolling everywhere every day, so it's impossible to cover every corner.
But ordinary people cannot sense spiritual power after all, let alone know that such a life-and-death event is happening in the house just around the corner.
The easternmost courtyard of the entire Yun Mansion is where Yun Han lives. It is usually the quietest place with not many people coming in and out, but at this moment it is trapped by a powerful formation.
In the pond built with live water in the middle of the courtyard, all the koi carps were restless at the moment, constantly jumping out of the water.
The old man standing under the corridor had a calm expression. He only looked up at the formations that were gathering above his head. With clear eyes full of vicissitudes of life, he could distinguish the rotating words and spells in the formations.
Uncle Gao had already sensed something was wrong, and trotted over from behind and stood beside the old man.
"Old man!"
Yun Han only glanced at it and said, "Tian Yuan Formation, once this formation is opened, all creatures in the formation will be spiritually and spiritually damaged. There is no way back."
Uncle Gao's usually expressionless face was full of shock, "How could it be possible? The Tianyuan Formation is not formed casually. When did they break in?"
The Tianyuan Formation is not an ordinary formation. It requires preparation in advance and cannot be formed at once. It is necessary to plant the spell on the southeast foot of the place where the spell is to be performed in advance to form the formation.
However, the entire Yun Mansion has the old man's protective formation. If someone breaks into the formation, the old man will not know about it.
Thinking of this, Uncle Gao suddenly turned his head to look at the old man, with a trembling voice, "Can you..."
"Gao Shu, how many years have you followed me?" Yun Han suddenly said.
Uncle Gao's eyes turned red, and he lowered his head and responded, "I grew up in the Yun family. After so many years, I haven't carefully calculated my whole life."
"I have been away for many years, and it was you who took care of this place and took care of the two children who grew up for me. Now that I think about it, I haven't even said a word of thanks to you."
"I was born in the Yun family and grew up in the Yun family. This is my home. Isn't it the right thing to take care of my family?" Uncle Gao's answer was sincere and calm, and the smile on his face was bright.
Yun Han held his hand and said firmly, "Yes."
They have also spent a lot of time together. When he ran away from the Yun family, he never had any worries. After so many years of companionship, they have long been a family connected by blood.
"I will trouble you again in the future. Please help me take good care of those children."
Uncle Gao raised his head fiercely, but before he understood the meaning, the old man slapped the person away with his palm.
"Old man!!"
Uncle Gao landed firmly at the door of the courtyard. He reacted and rushed towards the door. However, the closed door could not be shaken no matter what, as if it was welded shut.
Uncle Gao just came out of the courtyard, and three people slowly fell down from the center of the rotating formation in the air. They were wearing black robes and wide hats covering half of their faces.
But the old wrinkles can still be seen on the exposed chin, which cannot be stopped no matter what.
"We haven't seen each other for many years, and I never thought it would be like this when we meet again."
The leading man spoke, his voice as steady and deep as an old man's.
Yun Han's expression remained unchanged, "You spend so much time and effort just to get what I have? It seems like you didn't get the Demon Purification Tower as you wished."
The person opposite heard the sarcasm in his words and took a step forward without getting angry.
"Where's the stuff?"
Yun Han didn't have the slightest fear, he just looked at the person in front of him with an indifferent expression, "With such beautiful scenery on such a beautiful day, if you sit down to drink tea and chat with me, there might be a chance for us to continue talking."
"Are you still going to resist pointlessly?" The man raised his hand, and the formation spinning in the air suddenly shone brightly, with a faint tendency to expand.
"I think you don't want to watch all your relatives die in front of you when you reach the age of 80."
Once this formation expands, it will affect the entire Yun Mansion.
"You know that when this formation is triggered, it will destroy all the spirits within it. Are you, an elder, really going to watch the entire Yun family suffer such an unreasonable disaster because of you?"
The koi in the pond jumped more and more actively, and the surrounding atmosphere became more and more horrifying. The flowing air cut through the side of Yun Han's face like a knife. The old man only raised his hand to touch it, his face remained cold.
"The thing has been burned. I threw it into the molten cave in Chishan when I exited the spiritual world. If you want it, you can find it yourself."
The man quickly stepped in front of Yun Han, grabbed his neck with one hand and lifted him up.
"Do you think I'm a fool? How could you throw that thing away!"
Yun Han's feet left the ground, his face began to turn red due to suffocation, his eyes were still contemptuous, "I'm not you, I don't have such a strong desire, that thing is useless to me."
"Hand over the things immediately, otherwise I won't keep anyone in the entire Yun family!"
Yun Han sneered, raised his hand and concentrated his strength to slap it out. The man couldn't dodge and the wind of the palm lifted his hood, revealing his blocked face.
But when he saw that face, Yun Han's eyes were full of shock.
The man in front of me is tall and tall, about 1.78 meters tall, with wrinkles on his hands, making him look like an old man.
But that face was very strange. Half of the face had young skin, but half of the face was covered in wrinkles like an old man.
"What did you do?"
That's not what normal humans look like, nor what normal humans look like after aging. It's more like a side effect of some kind of magic.
"This is the price of eternal life." The man spread his hands with no intention of hiding anything.
After realizing what he meant, Yun Han understood in his heart.
"Life is determined by fate. Spirit cultivators already live longer than ordinary people. Aren't you satisfied?" Yun Han stared at the man in front of him who was neither human nor ghost.
"What I want is to live as long as heaven!" The man opposite roared angrily, looking at him with contempt in his eyes, "A coward like you will never understand."
"Senior brother!" Yun Han's old voice trembled.
"You don't deserve to call me that." The man raised his finger and pointed at him, "You were once the most powerful spiritual person in the entire Nanzhou Continent. You could have achieved more dazzling achievements than anyone else, but you chose to quit. You are such a coward.
, you don’t deserve to call me senior brother!”
Yun Han knew what he was talking about, and if he could have said it clearly, things like that wouldn't have happened back then.
Once people have desires, they will fight and hunt endlessly. If desires turn into ambitions, it will be a disaster.
Looking at the people in front of him who were swallowed up by desire, he suddenly couldn't see them anymore when they were young.
"You can't get the things. I know that once the Tianyuan Formation is opened, it will be impossible to disband without seeing blood. Senior brother, let's put an end to this relationship completely this time."
All the evils committed in the past should not come back. Their ambition almost brought disaster to the entire world.
Now that the flames are showing signs of rekindling, there's only so much he can do.
As Yun Han spoke, he cut his palm, and red blood continued to flow down. The old man formed the seal very quickly.
The formation glowing red rose from the palm of his hand and covered the top of the Tianyuan Formation.
"You actually want to use the Heavenly Killing Formation to offset the murderous intent of the Tianyuan Formation?"
Yun Han chuckled, then coughed up a mouthful of blood, "This time, it's a decisive battle between you and me."
"Even if you die like this today, how long do you think the Yun family can hold on? They can't stop the coveting eyes from outside. If you don't hand over the things to me, even if you die, I will definitely kill the Yun family."
The man said this in a particularly firm tone, with a bloodthirsty threat.
"You can't do it."
Yun Han thought of those faces, which gradually changed from immature eyes to determination, and finally grew up.
"Those children will eventually be on their own, but you must die here today."
A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Yun Han's hand, and his eyes instantly turned sinister. The two of them flew out, and two rays of light collided in the air, as dazzling as an exploding fire.
At the entrance of the courtyard, Uncle Gao, who kept banging on the door, was kept outside. Seeing the red light coming from the roof, the old man became more and more anxious.
"Uncle Gao!" Mu Qian's voice came from behind.
Uncle Gao looked like he saw the savior on his face and rushed over to grab Mu Qian's hand, "Second Miss! You must save this old man!"
Chi Si stood not far from the two of them and started to break the formation, but the spiritual energy gathered in his palms dissipated when it touched the formation.
The rebounded spiritual energy turned into a blade and fell at his feet.
"Can't open it?" Mu Qian glanced at him.
Chi Si's spiritual power is very powerful. If he can't open something, he may need to use some skills.
"Second Miss, look!" Uncle Gao pointed to the top of his head with a trembling voice.
I saw that the formation that only covered the courtyard in front of me suddenly expanded and quickly enveloped the entire Yun Mansion. Another formation with red light suddenly rose up and enveloped that formation.
"Expanded." Mu Qian murmured.
"Tian Yuan Formation." Chi Si said.
Uncle Gao started sweating even more when he heard this formation.
Chi Si looked at the courtyard that was like an iron barrel. The outer layer of the formation was the Tianyuan Formation. Once the Tianyuan Formation was opened, it would never be able to dissipate without the Spirit Sacrifice Formation.
When these people came to the Yun family, they could not retreat without blood.
However, the second layer of formation that rose up immediately resisted the Tianyuan Formation's raging murderous aura and protected what it wanted to destroy.
The old man's spiritual power can be faintly sensed in this formation.
"Grandpa, what do you want to do?" Mu Qian looked up at the two-layer formation.
This formation is very powerful and requires a lot of spiritual power to support it, but the old man's body is definitely unable to support such an formation for too long.
This formation was consuming his life.
"His old man wants to use the Heavenly Killing Formation to offset the murderous intent of the Tianyuan Formation and protect the entire Yunzhai people." Chi Si said.
"Can it be broken open?" Mu Qian looked at Chi Si.
The latter shook his head. The old man had locked this formation from the inside. Now his life is closely connected with this formation. If the outside uses brute force to break it open, he will definitely die.
His life, whether he breaks the formation or not, can no longer be saved.
"So, grandpa has already made his decision." Mu Qian looked at the closed courtyard door.
Uncle Gao's old face was full of tears, and his words were full of annoyance, "A few days ago, people broke into the nursing home one after another when the formation was weak, and the old man didn't care. He had already made plans in his heart.
Yes, I follow him every day, why didn’t I notice..."
He didn't know when exactly the old man had such an idea, whether it was when Yun Zaichun was taken away or earlier.
Mu Qian dragged Chi Si back a step, and when she saw Uncle Gao who was still sad, she interrupted the old man's sad mood.
"Chi Si and I should be able to find a way to get in. As long as the formation is not broken and there is still a glimmer of hope, you go and see the elder brother first. I'm afraid something will happen to him."
After hearing Mu Qian's words, Uncle Gao quickly reacted, hurriedly wiped his face and hurried towards Yun Zaichun's yard.
"Find the weak spot in the formation and cut it open. We only need a small opening to get in." Mu Qian looked at Chi Si.
This courtyard is the starting point of the formation. Even if you want to find a breakthrough, you can only find it in this courtyard.
"When you go in soon, follow me carefully and don't act rashly." Chi Si lowered his head and looked at her with some worry.
Mu Qian nodded obediently, "When have you ever seen me slip up at a critical moment?"
Seeing her like this, Chi Si raised his hand and formed a very thin blade. The blade flashed past, and a gap was opened in the aura condensed by the formation.
The two disappeared together at the entrance of the courtyard.
The Yun Jinghang brothers who came after them could only stare at the courtyard door. Although they were not strong in spiritual power, they could still sense that something was wrong in the entire courtyard.
The two white-haired parrots in the main hall were flapping their wings crazily, trying to fly out, and all the fish in the lake began to swim in the same direction.
This is the instinct of animals to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. They could also see that the entire Yun family was enveloped by the formation. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that something was wrong at a glance.
"Is that Qianqian who just entered?" Yun Jinghang said uncertainly.
It seems that one of them is Chi Si.
"She and Chi Si." Yun Jingyu gave a positive answer.
Yun Jinghang suddenly became anxious, "Why is a little girl joining in the fun? It's so dangerous!!"
What if there were three advantages and two disadvantages?
All the furnishings in the courtyard were destroyed, and even plants that had grown for many years were uprooted, and the soil they brought out fell all over the courtyard.
The two people playing in the air were hit by the shaking spiritual energy and fell in two directions.
Yun Han supported his body and crawled on the ground, looking at the man opposite him who had landed like him.
Seeing the aura gradually beginning to dissipate from his body, the old man laughed out loud. It was a useless bet, and he finally got it right.
"What did you do to me..." The man who landed on the ground stared wide-eyed at the aura that was beginning to dissipate from his body.
He could also feel that the power in his body was constantly weakening.
"Senior brother, this is not a defense." Yun Han gasped.
When he said this, the man reacted, raised his hand, and the rotating spell in the formation above his head suddenly changed.
The Heavenly Killing Formation has two forms: defensive and offensive.
He was careless, thinking that Yun Han deployed this formation just to defend the entire Yun Mansion, but he didn't expect that it was actually an attack.
"Your fate and mine have been connected. This time, you will go down with me." Yun Han said this with some relief.
These people have lived for too long. They have never seen any scenery in this world, and now they have lived enough.
"You plotted against me..." the man said and slapped his palm on the ground.
Two men in black robes suddenly appeared and lifted him up, one on the left and the other on the right.
"It's useless. Now your lives and mine are connected. If I die, you will die." Yun Han saw his actions and laughed, "Senior brother, you are also over a hundred years old. No matter what, you will survive."
That's enough."
"Owner."
The subordinate squatted beside him and called out.
In the formation, he also felt that two very powerful spirits were gradually approaching, and they could not stay here.
"Walk!"
As the man's voice rang out, a black spiritual power struck from the distance.
The two subordinates with quick eyesight and quick hands stood in front of him and withstood the blow. The man in the black robe also took this opportunity to escape.
Chi Si stepped on the ground, lowered his head and looked at the two people who had fallen on the ground with expressionless expressions. Their chests had stopped rising and they looked like they were dead.
"People ran away." He looked up at the formation.
After all, he is a magician, and there is a mechanism hidden in the formation that allows him to move away instantly.
"Grandpa." Mu Qian helped Yun Han who fell to the ground.
Seeing the two people appear, Yun Han's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and his eyes that were clear just now gradually became cloudy and blurred.
"Old man." Chi Si squatted down.
A person's pupils have begun to become chaotic, and there is no way to save them.
"I know you two will definitely come, good boy..." Yun Han took a deep breath and raised the corners of his lips. He struggled to hold Mu Qian's wrist, "Don't waste any more energy, Qian Qian, we're here."
Here it is…”
Mu Qian kept sending spiritual power into him to stabilize the old man's consciousness, but no matter what, the spiritual power could not enter his body.
She let go of her hand and dropped it to her side with trembling.
"Don't be sad, everyone has such a day, it's just earlier and later." Yun Han looked at his granddaughter and comforted her.
There was moisture in Mu Qian's eyes. She and Yun Han had been together for two months. Although they were not as close as other grandchildren, they still had feelings for each other.
Every time Yun Han sees her, the joy that radiates from the bottom of his heart is real.
Although the time was short, he tried his best to give Mu Qian the love he felt for his granddaughter.
"Old man, who is the person who escaped just now?" Chi Si looked at Yun Han.
"Su Wei." Yun Han watched Chi Si spit out the name.
Their eyes met, and Chi Si understood. Su Wei, one of the ten great spiritual masters, is known as a professor of formations who has studied ancient and modern times.
People who were rumored to have died are now resurrected.
Mu Qian's nasal voice was thick and she held back her tears, "Grandpa, I'll take you out. You must want to see eldest brother and the others."
Yun Han shook his head. Unless he died, this formation would not be broken.
