Chapter 89 Blood Curse and Treasure Hunting
Chapter 89 Blood Curse and Treasure Hunting
The next moment, the jade box unleashed a powerful suction force, instantly enveloping the Soul-Eating Ghost and dragging it violently toward the jade box.
Sensing danger, the Soul Eater's eyes turned even redder, and it frantically twisted its body, trying to break free from the suction force.
However, this soul box was a sealing artifact tailor-made for it. In addition, it had just devoured blood and its aura was not yet fully stable. It was firmly locked by the suction force and could not break free.
Upon seeing this, Luo Qing's eyes lit up, and he immediately unleashed a dense barrage of blood and bone fist shadows with both fists, blasting towards the Soul Devouring Ghost like a tidal wave, to help it return home.
Under the combined attack from both inside and outside, the Soul-Eating Demon's struggles grew weaker and weaker, only able to let out a few unwilling and mournful shrieks before turning into a wisp of black smoke and being completely sucked into the jade box.
With a soft "click," the forbidden patterns on the surface of the jade box lit up, and it closed automatically.
Luo Qing stepped forward and carefully picked up the jade box. It was cold to the touch and was still trembling slightly.
With a flick of his finger, he placed a simple restriction on the surface of the jade box, then put it into his storage bag and set it aside for the time being.
"Finally, they're completely dead!"
Upon seeing this, Fan Jingmei's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, her spiritual energy dissipated, and she sat cross-legged on the ground as if she had lost all her strength, her chest rising and falling slightly, and her forehead covered in cold sweat.
Although she had avenged her great grudge, the danger she had just experienced had been too much for her to bear.
Deng Feng and the other eight also put away their divine fire, their faces filled with relief at surviving the ordeal.
"Don't be careless, this matter is not over yet. Junior Brother Luo, take a look at your palm."
Nie Shan clutched his chest and staggered out from behind the rock, his face still as pale as paper.
Upon hearing this, Luo Qing frowned, a hint of doubt rising in her heart. She immediately raised her hands and turned her palms over.
On the base of his right palm was a pale red, leaf-shaped talisman. The talisman's lines were fine and dense, as if it had grown naturally on his skin. It was difficult to notice unless one paid special attention.
"Blood Curse Forbidden Technique!"
A cold glint flashed in Luo Qing's eyes as he instantly recognized the talisman.
This is an extremely difficult tracking restriction, often placed by high-level cultivators on their juniors or subordinates.
Once the person who placed the restriction dies, the talisman will automatically trigger and attach itself to the surrounding cultivators, allowing the person who placed the restriction to track them down and seek revenge.
The cultivator who could possess him without him noticing must be a cultivator of a whole realm higher than him. Luo Qing immediately thought of Liu Yueru's father, Liu Cangwu, the peak master of Xuanhun Peak!
He immediately looked at Fan Jingmei, Deng Feng, and the others, and saw that they were also covered with similar light red leaf-shaped runes.
Only Nie Shan and his two companions, who were farther away, were spared from the impact.
However, Fan Jingmei and the others do not need to go to Jiyin Island, and this restriction is not without distance limitations, so only Luo Qing needs to face this trouble directly.
"He's just a Core Formation Elder. I have the background of the Sun family, so I don't need to be too afraid."
Moreover, there might be secret techniques that could block the connection to this restriction.
Luo Qing felt a sense of relief as soon as the thought crossed her mind.
Although the Blood Curse is dangerous, it is not an insurmountable problem.
Immediately, he stopped worrying about the blood curse, took out a storage bag, and tossed it to Nie Shan:
"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother Nie. Here are one hundred gold fire spirit stones. Go and find a teleportation array to leave this place."
Nie Shan took the storage bag, feeling its weight in his hand. He was both surprised and delighted, as if he had been granted a pardon. He quickly bowed to Luo Qing and thanked her.
"Thank you so much for your generous gift, Junior Brother! If you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask, and I will certainly not let you down!"
He was actually filled with fear and unease, afraid that Luo Qing would kill him to keep the secret, just like Liu Yueru had done.
Now that he had managed to escape successfully, he couldn't help but feel that he hadn't misjudged Luo Qing; Luo Qing was worth befriending!
Without lingering, Nie Shan turned and flew towards a mirror tower.
Watching Nie Shan's hurried departure, Luo Qing hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not make a move.
He wasn't being soft-hearted; rather, Nie Shan and he genuinely shared a bond.
More importantly, if he were the only one to return alive from the Golden Sun Secret Realm to the Extreme Yin Island, all eyes would be on him.
As long as Nie Shan didn't want to be associated with Liu Yueru's death and bring about his own demise, he would naturally keep quiet.
Withdrawing her gaze, Luo Qing moved swiftly to where Liu Yueru had fallen, reached out and grabbed the storage bag she had left behind.
Immediately afterwards, he casually threw a fireball, which instantly enveloped the dried corpse left behind after Liu Yueru was devoured by the Soul-Eating Ghost.
The flames raged fiercely, and the dried corpse quickly turned to ashes, leaving only a dull, three-colored demon core on the ground.
This might be the lowest-grade demon core, but it was still quite valuable. Luo Qing immediately put it into a jade bottle and carefully preserved it.
After dealing with Liu Yueru's body and belongings, Luo Qing raised his eyes and looked at the golden light and mysterious fire liquid floating in the sky.
Luo Qing knew that collecting the Golden Light Profound Fire Liquid was not difficult; all she needed to do was refine a spirit box using Golden Fire Spirit Stones.
However, the outer layer of golden divine flames was extremely domineering, becoming an insurmountable obstacle.
This is a Nascent Soul level spiritual flame. Even if there aren't many of them, if everyone present were tied together, it wouldn't be enough to burn them for even a moment!
"Meng Bao, do you have any way to strip away this golden divine flame?"
Luo Qing secretly inquired with Meng Bao, seeking a solution.
"Just now, Liu Yueru used a large amount of Golden Yang Divine Fire to suppress the Golden Light Divine Flame, and the effect was acceptable."
Based on this deduction, it is recommended that the master use the twelve Golden Sun Divine Fire Banners to condense a divine fire vortex with the power of the formation and forcibly collect these golden divine flames.
However, it should be noted that this method has a very high probability of destroying the twelve Golden Sun Divine Fire Banners; the owner must make the decision himself.
Exchanging twelve Golden Yang Divine Fire Banners for a ball of Golden Light Mystic Fire Liquid is undoubtedly a profitable deal.
Without the slightest hesitation, Luo Qing immediately made a decision: "We'll do as you say."
He turned to the crowd and gave them a stern order:
"Deng Feng, the eight of you, each activate the Golden Sun Divine Fire Banner. Jing Mei, the other two, each take one banner and join me in setting up the formation."
The crowd naturally did not object and immediately began to act as instructed.
Deng Feng and his eight companions were already familiar with the method of controlling the Golden Sun Divine Fire Flag. Each of them held the flag, and with a swirling of their magical power, the Golden Sun Divine Fire blazed up on the flag.
Fan Jingmei and the other two also took the magic flag from Luo Qing. Although it was their first time controlling it, they managed to activate the divine fire with the help of the array.
The twelve people were positioned in twelve different directions, forming a simple formation.
"Charge!"
Luo Qing gave a low shout and took the lead in waving the Golden Sun Divine Fire Banner in his hand.
The twelve banners waved simultaneously, and a large amount of golden yang divine fire surged from the banners, intertwining and swirling in the air, gradually condensing into a huge vortex of flames.
The vortex spun rapidly, generating a powerful suction force that slowly drew it closer to the golden divine flames high in the sky.
