Once he is captured, it will undoubtedly implicate the Wu Family!
Panic flashed in the Black Fox’s heart. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, it turned to flee, only to "bang" into an invisible barrier.
The Energy Cage suddenly lit up on all sides, like a Heaven and Earth Net that had already been spread out.
The Shadow Fox’s pupils quaked; the cage required prior setup and took several days to complete.
It turns out Ji Jiuli had long set the trap!
Just waiting for the prey to walk into it willingly!
"Enclose it!"
With a cold shout, the cage instantly contracted.
The Shadow Fox was trapped inside, darting left and right, but like a moth caught in a spider’s web, there was no escape.
The Shadow Fox’s eyes turned increasingly scarlet, and it let out a sharp scream to the sky. Its body radiated violent and frightening energy, swelling inch by inch, making the cage seem to tremble on the verge of breaking.
It even tried to self-destruct, wishing to burn and explode everything in sight!
Shen Li’s face grew colder, his palm bursting forth with a web of blood like layers of a Heaven and Earth Net wrapping around. The bloody web tightened more and more, forcefully pressing the swelling Shadow Fox back to its original form.
The space inside the cage was also compressed, and soon the large Shadow Fox shrank to the size of a palm, losing any previous intimidation.
Finally, Shen Li took out a Glazed Bottle engraved with runes, entrapped the Shadow Fox inside, and drew a rune in blood to seal the bottle’s mouth.
This farce was coming to an end.
Qiu Yang rushed forward in a few strides, staring at the shadow bouncing around inside the Glazed Bottle, trembling with anger, "This... this is the Shadow Slave raised by the Wu Family!" His fists clenched with cracking sounds, "They actually dared to send such a thing to assassinate Your Majesty, truly audacious, unforgivable!"
His face flushed with fury, his tail bristling, "These beasts, I’m going to skin them alive for sure!"
Shen Li silently put away the Glazed Bottle and turned to look at Jia Lan and Shen Tang who were approaching.
Looking at the ravaged courtyard, his long lashes lowered slightly, and a trace of apology appeared on his pale face, "Sorry, for the losses here—"
"It’s just an old yard, destroyed or not, we’ll be moving away in a couple of days anyway. As long as no innocent bystanders were hurt nearby, it’s fine."
Shen Tang waved her hand to interrupt him, her gaze falling on his blood-stained right hand, "But you, you’re hurt. Let me heal you first."
The two countries are currently on good terms, but allowing a monarch from another country to get injured on one’s turf is quite unacceptable.
As she was about to step forward to heal him, Shen Li slightly sidestepped to evade, "No need."
His bloodstained sleeve swayed lightly as he looked at her, a gentle arc forming at the corner of his lips, "I appreciate the care you’ve shown these days; this little injury is nothing, no need to trouble yourself."
"What’s the deal with this Black Fox?" Jia Lan’s brows furrowed tightly.
He had no interest in the internal strife of the Yiyuan Empire, just worried that someone might target Shen Tang—since the other Beast Husbands weren’t in the Imperial City, there’d be no one to back her up if something happened.
"This is a Shadow Slave specially bred by the Wu Family; it came this time... presumably to kill me." Shen Li deliberated for a moment before replying.
"Wu Family?" Jia Lan was taken aback, his eyebrows knitted even tighter, "Isn’t that the family you’re supposed to marry into? And they specifically sent a Shadow Slave to assassinate you?"
