CHAPTER 614: CHAPTER 606: FIGHTING MAGIC FROM AFAR TO BREAK POISON SPELLS

Qin Liuxi and Lv Xiaoshan, led by the old village chief’s tears and sniveling complaints, step by step climbed up to the ancestral grave of the Lv Family.

According to the old village chief, even though Lv Xiaoshan was married, she had not yet had children, and was supposed to visit the General’s grave every year to pay her respects. However, for the past few years, it had been that son-in-law who came.

Although the son-in-law appeared well-mannered and eloquent, the old village chief always felt that there was something insidious about him, suspecting a hidden agenda, so he personally accompanied every memorial visit. Watching the man worship sincerely and earnestly quelled some of his suspicion, but his impression of Zhang Yong remained somewhat reserved.

Qin Liuxi thought to herself that the old soldier was indeed a good and loyal man, what a pity that he was not someone trained in Daoist Skills and thus limited in insight.

By the time they reached the Lv Family ancestral grave, it was dusk, and the sun was setting in the west.

Qin Liuxi looked around, then took out a purple-golden Compass from the basket, and started walking on the good and bad positions around the ancestral grave.

Meanwhile, Zhang Yong had already arrived at the Black Robed Man’s thatched hut carrying a box containing Lv Xiaoshan’s birth dates, hair, and nails, and handed them over.

"Everything is in your hands now." Zhang Yong rubbed his hands, ingratiatingly said.

The Black Robed Man snorted coldly, took it without even opening the box.

He took extremely yin and evil menstrual blood of a woman and mixed it with five poisonous substances, drew a Heart-devouring Soul-binding Array, lit forty-nine candles within the Array, forming the base of the Eight Trigrams Array. After setting up the Array, the Black Robed Man did not activate it but took a straw figure and wrote Lv Xiaoshan’s birth dates on it, pinning it with Soul Suppressing Nails on the straw figure’s back, and stuffed the hair and nails into the figure.

With this, having the substances of hair and skin given by the parents and even the birth dates, once the magic was cast, the straw figure could completely replace Lv Xiaoshan.

Zhang Yong, witnessing this eerie scene, felt his hairs stand on end.

The Black Robed Man was thoroughly prepared, but he glanced towards Zhang Yong, "Are you certain you want to take her life?"

Zhang Yong pursed his lips, "She was heartless, so I’m unrighteous. She forced me into this."

A trace of scorn flashed in the Black Robed Man’s eyes, mocking him for blaming her when he himself was fickle and unprincipled, the lowest of the low.

He lowered his gaze, concealing the sharp light in his eyes, and motioned with his mouth towards the table, "Since you insist on going through with this, go ahead and draw blood."

Zhang Yong was taken aback, looking at the small bowl and dagger on the table, cautiously asked, "What is this for?"

"Just do as you’re told; why so many questions?" the tone of the Black Robed Man was filled with impatience and vicious energy.

Ant, do you think I would tell you it’s just to be safe, having you share the majority of the backlash?

Inside Zhang Yong was a strong resistance; he feared there was a trap, but just as he hesitated, the Black Robed Man added, "Hurry up, Lv Xiaoshan might have reached the ancestral grave."

The Black Robed Man showed an anxious face; he could sense that the Prohibition at the ancestral grave was becoming weakened and suppressed. He was worried something might actually go wrong.

Shocked, Zhang Yong quickly picked up the dagger and said, "How should I draw the blood?"

"The fingers are connected to

heart; Fingertip Blood is also Heart Blood."

Zhang Yong gritted his teeth, enduring the pain as he cut a small slit on his finger, and the blood dripped into the bowl.

"That will suffice." The Black Robed Man took the bowl of blood, carelessly smeared it onto another straw figure, also writing birth dates, but this time, it was Zhang Yong’s.

Zhang Yong’s heart pounded, he struggled to not snatch it back.

Something seemed very wrong.

Over at the Lv Family ancestral grave, Lv Xiaoshan, watching Qin Liuxi using the Compass to investigate, grew increasingly restless and apprehensive, pacing back and forth in place.

Her heart raced furiously, as if it was about to leap out of her chest.

Inside the thatched hut, the Black Robed Man had already lit incense candles, held talismans, and performed the Gang Step, murmuring spells while holding Zhang Yong’s straw figure in his hand.

With a flick of his hand, the talisman spontaneously combusted without fire, and a chilly gust swept up from underneath the ground, wailing like an Evil Beast.

Zhang Yong trembled all over.

"Heavenly Gate moves, Earth Gate opens, Three Souls True Son, Seven Spirits Jade Girl, Yin Yang Five Elements, Eight Diagrams and Three Realms, shift and exchange Lu’s soul to come forth, the disciple Zhang Yong willing to sacrifice my body to serve Demon Spirit Tao Ancestor Master with the Command to Capture Lu’s Soul, Array Activation!"

Buzz.

An invisible energy field rose within the room.

Zhang Yong felt a jolt in his chest, a sweet metallic taste in his throat, feeling more and more uneasy, but upon seeing the blood mist-like Array Map rising from the Heart-devouring Soul-binding Array, his eyes started to shine with a faint red light, turning a deep red.

Simultaneously, Qin Liuxi stood in the northwest direction, the Compass needle spinning wildly. She put away the Compass, half-squinting her eyes, looking towards the mounds on either side of the grave.
