Chapter 14

Lu Miao’s fingertips repeatedly touched the memorial tablet a few times. Finally, when she touched the middle of the side, she felt an abnormal bulge.

She pinched the bulge with two fingers, and with a click, the originally black tablet split into two, revealing the middle layer.

A piece of paper that had already turned black appeared in front of her.

She reached out to take it, and the stench instantly rushed into her nose.

Lu Miao could not help but frown slightly. She held her breath and opened the paper. Gu Shiyan’s name was followed by a line of words.

It was a blood curse.

This curse originated in Thailand.

The caster used the blood from his heart as a guide to cast the curse.

The target would not rest until he died.

What was even more troublesome was that it was quite difficult to break through.

If someone tried to break it and failed, they would suffer a backlash.

Because of this, everyone in the country’s metaphysics circle avoided it.

The blood curse was extremely vicious, and coupled with the support of the formation in the night sky outside, it could be said to be a deadly situation.

No wonder she had found the black mist on Gu Shijian’s body in the car to be strange and evil, but not entirely a blood curse.

That’s why all the masters that the Gu family had hired before had returned empty-handed.

Even if someone really saw through it, they wouldn’t dare to make a move.

Unfortunately, he met her.

Lu Miao raised her hand and made a hand seal with two fingers. A milky white flame instantly ignited in the air.

She threw the blood talisman into the flames.

A sharp and ear-piercing sound came from the flames, as if someone was screaming.

The blood talisman shook violently as if it wanted to break free from the shackles of the flames.

On the other side, in a dark room shrouded in smoke and surrounded by magic tools.

The person who was meditating with his eyes closed on the cushion in the middle suddenly screamed. He opened his scarlet eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Damn it, someone actually dared to break his blood curse.

He quickly took out a few talismans from his clothes and threw them in a few directions.

The talisman papers seemed to be fixed in the air by an invisible force and surrounded his body.

The man pulled out a dagger, gritted his teeth, and stabbed it into his heart.

Then, he dipped his finger in the blood and quickly drew a line across each talisman paper.

He quickly began to chant a spell in a low voice.

He looked at the rustle of the blood talisman in front of him, which was struggling violently.

Lu Miao formed a hand seal with his fingers, and the milky-white flame suddenly turned into an ice-cold blue color, instantly swallowing all the blood talismans.

It was tightly bound, not giving it the slightest chance to rush out.

6:59:55!

A sharp roar came from the blood talisman.

Accompanied by the roar was an invisible force that rushed straight toward her face.

Lu Miao laughed coldly. As her fingers moved, the flames that had expanded suddenly shrank. The talisman trembled violently for a few times before it turned into ashes with a bang and scattered to the ground.

The power that rushed towards her face also dissipated, turning into a breeze that blew past, and the ashes finally dissipated in the wind.

At the same time, the clock on the wall rang. It was seven o’clock.

Lu Miao restored the memorial tablet to its original position and bowed three times.

She looked up at the sky outside.

The blood curse had been broken, but the formation was still there. It could only protect Gu Shiyan for three months at most.

Three months later, if the formation was not broken, he would not be able to escape death.

It was obviously unrealistic for everyone in the Gu family to move.

Besides, it was useless even if they really moved.

From the day the formation was successfully formed, Gu Shiyan’s life was connected to it.

It was useless no matter where he went.

Breaking the formation was the only way.

If she was not wrong, this formation should be the legendary Seven Kill Formation.

This formation came from the Book of Lu Ban. It was as its name suggested and was filled with killing intent.

From the day the formation was created, there was no way to break it.

According to the records, no one had ever been able to survive under this formation. Even the famous figure who had founded a sect in the Mystic World died under this formation.

It could be said to be the number one killing formation in history.

However, there were too many harmful spells in the Book of Luban. As the number one forbidden book in the world of metaphysics, the original version had been lost thousands of years ago.

Most of the scrolls that had been passed down were fragments that were difficult to distinguish between true and false. The SevenKill Formation had only been heard of by name, and no one had ever seen it in its entirety.

She had only deduced it based on her master’s description and speculation.

She did not expect that someone in this world had actually set up an incomplete Seven Kill Formation.

Lu Miao’s expression was solemn as she turned around and left the ancestral hall.

There was no way to solve this formation, even though it was only an incomplete formation with a flaw.

However, the person who set up the array had already expected this. He used the entire Luo City and the millions of people in the city as the flag to set up the formation.

If she forcefully broke the formation, not only would her life be in danger, but the millions of people in the city would also die.

Using the lives of a million people to kill Gu Shiyan alone, everyone’s lives were tied up in this formation.

A slight change in one hair would affect the whole body.

It was not just vicious, it was simply insane.

The person who could set up this array was definitely not simple, and the person who could find this person and even invite him to help was even more not simple.

Gu Shiyan did not know how much hatred he had attracted for him to make people pay a high price to invite these people out of the mountain.

Moreover, the Gu family valued the ancestral hall so much. Those who could enter must be from the Gu family or someone they trusted and approved of.

Although Shen Qinghe trusted her, without Grandma Gu’s consent, she would not let her in even if she was engaged to Gu Shiyan.

However, the person behind the scenes could enter and leave the Gu family ancestral hall freely. He could also bring things in without anyone noticing and even replace the original memorial tablet.

The Gu family must be involved in this matter.

However, investigating the truth was Gu Shiyan’s business. It was not something she should consider.

Right now, she only had a few simple materials and not a single usable magic tool.

If she wanted to successfully break the formation, she had to plan ahead and prepare a lot.

In the front hall, Gu Shiyan had already slowly closed his eyes.

“Ah Yan, Ah Yan.”

Shen Qinghe grabbed his hand in panic.

The cold temperature almost pierced through her flesh and went straight to her bones.

Tears fell almost instantly. ” Ah Yan, Ah Yan. ”

Gu Shiyan slowly opened his eyes and looked down at the time on his watch. It was 7:01.

The deadline that Lu Miao told him had passed.

His originally heavy body seemed to have become much lighter, and a little bit of warmth was recovering in his body.

Thinking of Lu Miao, his heart skipped a beat. ” I’m fine. I just felt a little uncomfortable just now. ”

Shen Qinghe heard his voice and looked at his lively appearance. Her highly tensed spirit finally relaxed, and she could not help but feel a little weak.

She held onto the armrest of the sofa and sat down slowly. ” It’s good that you’re fine. It’s good that you’re fine. ”

At the side, Grandma Gu’s hand that was tightly gripping the Buddha beads finally loosened.

After Gu Shiyan comforted them, he got up and quickly walked upstairs to Lu Miao’s room.
