"He actually ran away!"
"Can it still do this?"
Everyone couldn't help being surprised, but it was only after this that they finally understood that this thing also had a method similar to the mysterious realm.
This is some kind of power that controls time and space, able to shuttle between reality and illusion, coming and going without a trace.
If this were not the case, it would never have been possible to solve the problem even with so much effort given the internal guarding power of the Hou Mansion.
"That won't work. If you master a power similar to that of the Secret Realm, it will be difficult to pose a threat through ordinary means.
Moreover, there are many buildings in the Marquis Mansion, and it is difficult to round up the guests who are not familiar with the place..."
Zhong Cheng and others immediately understood the difficulty of this matter.
It's not that everyone present is not strong enough, it's that they can only use one or two points of their full strength, and they can't do anything at all.
They are foreigners themselves, and it is not easy for them to wander into other people's places.
If you rush in to help suppress the evil spirits regardless of the consequences, you may create opportunities for those with ulterior motives.
Nowadays, the Cao Mang River and the Gu Heart Demon Sect are eyeing the Holy City, so it is inevitable that someone will sneak in among the guests and want to cause some big battle.
…
Amidst the hustle and bustle of everyone, a pair of bright eyes appeared in the corner of the distant corridor.
There seems to be a figure hidden in the darkness there. It is dark and gloomy. When it is not moving, it seems to be integrated with the night, making it difficult to detect.
Only the distant firelight vaguely reflected in the eyes showed the presence of someone here.
As the servants and guards were led away, the road ahead became clear. The figure hidden in the darkness quietly walked to the path illuminated by candlelight, and used the weak light around to determine the direction.
"As expected, it is indeed the residence of powerful officials. This prince's residence is really big. It must have at least dozens or hundreds of acres!"
"No, it should be less than a hundred acres. It's just that the buildings are concentrated here and we are not familiar with the internal conditions."
Two other figures followed and walked out, exploring the surroundings with some curiosity.
After one of them complained, he looked at the person in front.
The outline of her graceful figure was revealed in the weak candlelight, and her bright face in the Northern Qi style had a cold and expressionless expression.
"Their attention should have been attracted to it. This thing is very difficult to deal with. We spent a lot of effort to bring it here. It shouldn't be easy to solve in a while...
Then you can go inside and look for that person.
However, the defense of the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion should be better than that of the front courtyard. The master of the Hou Mansion, Marquis Wu An and his son, are among the top masters in the world, and they even survived two disaster-level events in succession.
It is not easy to deal with them. "
"Ahem, haven't we discussed this before? Miss Qiao, although we are not heroes, we speak with our teeth like gold. If you are kind to us, we will definitely help you!"
"Yeah, let alone the Marquis Mansion, even if it's a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, it's just a matter of words!"
"Tonight, I will help you get that kid's head to pay homage to Brother Liu's spirit in heaven!"
Hearing the people following him mention Liu Dun, Qiao Ruo's face as cold as frost and snow showed a trace of tenderness, which was even more poignant when contrasted with the cold and biting hatred.
She looked around with a bit of sadness.
The red lights, colorful silks, and various flower stands prepared for the wedding were once the luxurious wedding of her dreams.
It's just that the lover has passed away, and things have changed.
Tonight is Li Fan's wedding day, not her Qiao Ruobing's wedding day.
"That dog thief is very powerful. It may not be that easy to deal with him, but it doesn't matter. As long as I find an opportunity, there will be many targets for my revenge in the Marquis Mansion.
Especially Princess Daqian, who has a high status. If the assassination is successful, it will not only let her experience the feeling of losing a lover, but also make Wu'an Hou and his son separate from the Dog Emperor and no longer be favored..."
"Indeed, we came here with a mission tonight. If we can complete the task assigned by the leader and settle the old grudges, we can kill two birds with one stone... But I never expected that it would be so easy to get away with it." When I came in, I almost got lost!"
"This is indeed outrageous!"
"Where to go is the backyard, don't go around in circles and run back to the front yard like you just did!"
The complaints of several people diluted a bit of Qiao Ruobing's cold and solemn expression.
This matter was indeed a bit embarrassing, because a few of them ran in to assassinate Li Fan or the inquisitors in the Hou Mansion, but they never expected that they got lost.
The main reason is that this place is in the dark, and they deliberately created a favorable environment with the help of Beauty Head.
The situation would be much better if the lights were bright, but that would make it easier for the servants to spot him.
Now they can only go where Beauty Head once made a big fuss.
It is like a dense cloud of smoke, moving around and blocking people's perception.
Although the servants and nurses were secretly on guard, their attention was more or less distracted.
This allowed them to successfully sneak in close to the inner courtyard and avoid the masters among the guests outside.
"There seems to be a road here, let's go and take a look."
At this moment, someone suddenly discovered a secluded place.
In a hurry, without careful consideration, he hurriedly followed the road to the west. Unknowingly, he came to a quiet and uninhabited place.
"here it is……"
The figures of the crowd were gradually revealed under the light. Looking at the tall green tiles and the magnificent majesty in front of them, they couldn't help but feel a little lost. But when they turned around to see the numerous memorial tablets, they couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
"Is this their ancestral hall?"
"As expected of a wealthy family, tsk tsk tsk, the house is big enough to accommodate gardens, landscapes, schools, family temples...even the ancestral hall has been moved in."
"I think we moved here temporarily because of a wedding, but it's just right. We can put a fire here to attract attention, and it will be easier to seize the opportunity."

Several people seemed to come from green forest backgrounds, and they had the courage to think and act, so they immediately came up with the idea here.
Although Qiao Ruobing hesitated slightly, her hatred for Li Chuan still overshadowed her usual reason. She thought that even if she could not successfully assassinate Li Chuan and his son tonight, it would be a good idea to set a fire on the prince's mansion and burn him to disgrace. , and fell silent.
Several helpers knocked over the candles and poured lamp oil on them, and soon a raging fire burned, swallowing up most of the tablets.
However, at this moment, Qiao Ruobing seemed to notice something and cast her eyes on one of the tablets.
This tablet cannot be burned.
"Hey, I didn't expect that I have been dead for so many years and still haven't found peace... Little girl, what kind of grudge do you have against our Li family?
But forget it, I'm sorry you won't say much, it would be better to just kill him. "
An eerie voice floated out from inside, with a somewhat chilling tone.
