A chilling, unsettling aura swept over me; this coldness was not of human origin.

They seem to extend into the bloodstream through the pores, pass through the blood vessels, and reach the soul.

Accompanied by a biting cold.

A rumble of thunder came from outside.

Qu Jian'er also realized they were trapped because she couldn't open the ancestral hall door no matter what she tried.

Soon, arrays gleaming with cold light and chilling aura appeared on the door and the wall.

Qu Jian'er frowned: "It's actually an array that's even stronger than Rosen's spatial domain."

She never expected to encounter an ancient formation as troublesome as the Four Symbols Soul-Locking Formation at this time and place.

One can't help but wonder what happened outside the ancestral hall.

Qingchen's expression was complicated. He stood in front of the formation and glanced at Qu Jian'er, who could not hide her nervousness.

Why?

Why is Qu Jian'er nervous?

Just as he doesn't understand himself at this moment, he foresaw that Qu Jian'er would eventually wield the Twin Nightmare Blades again, that Qu Jian'er would come to the Zuo family, and that Qu Jian'er would fall in love with his other half.

But when he saw Qu Jian'er again.

He still couldn't remain calm and composed, and he couldn't stop being jealous of his other self.

He was clearly a shrewd negotiator and strategist, capable of slowly and deliberately luring his opponents into his trap. Yet, he didn't use any of these skills on Qu Jian'er.

Not wanting to put Qu Jian'er in a difficult position, Qingchen smiled and said, "I'll do it. I'm used to this kind of formation."

He reached his hand towards the formation.

Qingchen's eyes flashed as she looked at Qu Jian'er and said, "However, before breaking the formation, I do have a wish."

Qu Jian'er looked anxious and urged, "Speak."

Qingchen noticed Qu Jian'er's loss of composure and hesitated before saying, "Let's talk about our wishes later."

He had never seen Qu Jian'er so worried.

She wasn't as terrified as she is now when she chose to end the zombie horde threat with her death.

Is Qu Jian'er worried about another him?

what to do.

He was somewhat reluctant to break the formation.

at the same time.

Outside the Zuo family.

The boundless black mist, coupled with the ever-accumulating yin energy, enveloped the area above the Zuo family's residence.

A deafening roar echoed through the sky, like the sound of destruction. Streaks of lightning flashed in the clouds, and darkness, which once roamed this place, was now completely engulfed by the lightning.

In an instant, the entire Zuo family was plunged into darkness.

A dark, oppressive aura filled the air.

Like a giant black monster, stretching out its body, completely shutting out all light.

It revealed a sinister and eerie atmosphere.

This made the already terrifying atmosphere even more somber.

Zuo Chen stared at the people in front of him with suppressed anger.

These people were all enemies without exception.

They appeared as soon as they appeared.

Then they began to take action.

Using mystical arts strictly forbidden by the empire, they sealed the Zuo family ancestral hall within an array, trapping all of them inside.

He underestimated the empire's treachery, allowing these people skilled in mystical arts to attack ordinary people like them.

Those who possess esoteric skills are undoubtedly from the Sato family.

only.

Dozens of members of the Sato family were emaciated.

It looked as if their flesh and blood had been drained, their skin clinging tightly to their bones, making them look exactly like mummies.

Zuo Chen took off his glasses, and he could clearly see the darkness above, which originated from the yin energy emanating from these people.

These people can no longer be called human beings.

In the chaos, the Zuo family members fainted one by one.

He spotted someone and found that the person was indeed just as shocked.

Madam Zuo panicked: "Why? Didn't you say that all I had to do was pass on the information from here to you, and you wouldn't do anything to the Zuo family?!"

Zuo Lao Er resignedly closed his eyes.

He didn't want to argue with anyone anymore; he couldn't wake people up, he could only let them learn to see things for themselves.

At this moment.

Gu Youyou emerged from behind the Sato family members, her exposed skin covered in eerie gray patterns.

Because of Qu Jian'er's spiritual power, she did not remember what Qu Jian'er had done to her.

But she still hated everyone who took Zuo Chen away from her.

She wagered her soul against the high priest and gained superhuman powers.

This power can transcend life and death.

This made her extremely excited.

Although the power of using soul sacrifice to grant someone mystical arts was still in the experimental stage of their high priests, she did not hesitate to choose to be a guinea pig.

Due to the insidious tactics of those with ulterior motives, the Sato family lost most of its exploitable value.

His Majesty the Empire is a pragmatist.

In order to prevent the Sato family from becoming dispensable trash, she gathered the remaining strength.

They claimed it was to make a final contribution to the empire.

In reality, it was her own selfish motives that were at play.

Gu Youyou glanced at Madam Zuo: "It was the Black family that agreed to your request, not my Sato family."

Madam Zuo was breathing heavily, clearly not expecting the other party to play word games with her.

Looking at her son, daughter-in-law, and daughter, a wave of guilt washed over her.

Madam Zuo collapsed to the ground. She had betrayed her family by telling others about the Zuo family's situation at the opportune moment.

She couldn't beg for forgiveness.

I can only deceive myself by not looking at it.

Gu Youyou ignored everyone else and stared at Zuo Chen with adoration: "Long time no see."

Zuo Chen didn't even spare the other person a glance.

Gu Youyou wasn't angry: "I may not live much longer, but before I die, I want to be with you..."

Zuo Chen interrupted, "Shut up."

His face showed no sign of annoyance.

His tone was extremely impolite, and there was not a trace of a smile on his face, exuding an air of superiority, indifference, and arrogance.
