After Shi Qianli found out that Shi Yan was missing, he didn’t feel wrong at first.

Shi Yan had no ambitions and was not very interested in cultivation. In Shi Qianli’s view, she was a waste as she was not seeking to make progress. Even when her memory was washed away at the beginning, and she remembered nothing, she had a natural laziness.

Fortunately, she was still obedient all these years. In order to completely control her, he never let Shi Yan contact other people in the first two years when she lost her memory. This way, he was able to cultivate her and let her rely on them.  

Only when she didn’t come back for a day and night, Shi Qianli couldn’t find her with the secret method, and the tracking technique put on her body was broken that he realized that something was wrong.

Did something happen? Shi Qianli had a bad premonition, and immediately asked Shi Zhenxu to look for Shi Yan. He knew something that he couldn’t accept, which was that Shi Yan was in Winter City, beside Sima Jiao who they tried to avoid.

The survivors of the Shi family killed by Sima Jiao over the years would be seventy or eighty. Shi Qianli, the Patriarch, had few people available, and had to take Shi Yan to avoid Sima Jiao’s search in case.

In order to hide Shi Yan’s traces, he arranged many tricks to disturb Sima Jiao’s sight. With the subtle arrangements, he could completely direct Sima Jiao’s gaze to other places and hide Shi Yan. He had been working for nearly ten years.

And he spent so much time and energy. It turned out to be a waste of work in the end.

“Head, maybe Shi Yan went to Sima Jiao, and can act against him according to our many years of influence. Even if she can’t kill him, it would be good if she was able to hurt him,” Shi Zhenxu didn’t want to give up all his efforts, so he could only comfort the head in this way.

Of course Shi Qianli wanted to believe that it was possible, but he had been with Shi Yan for so many years. How could he not understand her? They didn’t believe that she would do what they imagined.

“No matter what, we must find out Shi Yan’s current situation in Winter City as soon as possible.”

“Yes, head.” Shi Zhenxu asked, “Should we contact Shi Yan secretly?”

After thinking for a moment with a calm face, Shi Qianli said, “Now the initiative is no longer in our hands. Sima Jiao is probably waiting for us to cast ourselves into the trap. Once Shi Yan returns to him, we can no longer move her. This weapon that originally belonged to us may not be of much use anymore.”

When Shi Qianli thought of that, his energy and blood surged, and there was even a sign of enchantment.

Over the years, Sima Jiao deceived the Shi family too much. If at first Shi Qianli still wanted to restore the Shi house, revitalize the Gengchen Xianfu, and kill Sima Jiao, then now, he just wanted to preserve the Shi clan as much as possible. He must leave his bloodline for a comeback in the future.

Or Sima Jiao wouldn’t even leave them the chance of a comeback.

Shi Qianli and Shi Zhenxu didn’t stay longer in Hexian City. Not long after Shi Yan was found missing, Shi Qian immediately moved outside of Hexian City. When it was discovered that Shi Yan went to the winter city, he resolutely retreated and hid in several cities in the south of the Demon Realm.

Shi Qianli knew Sima Jiao very well. Soon after they left, the Sima Jiao faction would arrive in Hexian City. The speed of this group of people was so fast but they still failed to catch the old and cunning master Qianli.

This time, the snake was still leading the team, and more than a dozen demons who had reached the level of demons came to arrest them. Although there were not many people, they were able to compete with them.

The snake looked cute and stupid when facing Sima Jiao, and it was also very natural to Shi Yan. But in the face of other people, his nature became naturally cruel. Especially for those with the aura of the Shi members, he had killed a lot of them through the years.

His keenness to breath made it easy to hunt down the Shi clan. There was no trace of Shi Qianli in Hexian City. After thinking with his small brain, the big black snake felt that he might be scolded by the owner if he went back. So he could only follow other demon generals. They made a turn to the three cities in the south.

Because of Sima Jiao’s words, the three cities in the south that were rich in red cherry fruits were being overwhelmed by Winter City’s generals. 

In the past few years, Sima Jiao’s footsteps in regaining the Demon Realm were unstoppable.

All the demon generals of Winter City were trying to unify the Demon Realm, and then follow Sima Jiao to enter the dream of the real world. However, their demon master Sima Jiao had no interest in playing turf now, and he only thought about the lost and now recovered dao partner.

Because even if Shi Yan didn’t remember the past, her attitude toward him was not repulsive. So Sima Jiao didn’t really care about Shi Yan’s amnesia, and even thought it was quite interesting.

She often filled up some weird plots and scenes in her mind, and could make Sima Jiao laugh every time. She hadn’t realized that he could hear her voice when she was emotional, so she often had no scruples in her heart. Scolding him or complimenting him, saying strange and infinite words, these were all interesting.

It was just that in the past few days, Sima Jiao’s anger had become so intense that it has disturbed Winter City.

Why was he angry? Because Sima Jiao knew that Shi Yan had killed a lot of people over the years. He forced her to kill one time. He still remembered her nightmares, and her crying. He promised not to let her kill, which meant not only that he would not force her to kill, but also to ensure that she would not need to kill in the future.

But now? She was forced to learn to kill.

When Shi Yan talked about the person she had killed, her tone was flat, her eyes were not red at all, she didn’t cry, nor seemed to be afraid anymore.

There was great hostility in his heart, and the Demon General Zhi who came to complain was burned to a handful of ashes.

It was this General who came to tell him that the twin demon generals in the Zhi clan had been killed by Shi Yan. He hoped then to give him an explanation and Sima Jiao came to know about the murder.
