Chapter 286 No way, really?
Is it okay now?
Yu Zhiyi suddenly asked a question out of the blue.
Jiang Liubin was taken aback: "What?"
Only after asking did I realize that Yu Zhiyi was talking about digging the ladder to heaven.
He hesitated for a moment: "This matter is of utmost importance..."
Jiang Liuyun could no longer hold back and said sarcastically, "No way, no way, as the son of the leader of the martial arts alliance, you won't go back on your word, will you?"
"You're not a sore loser, are you?"
The tone was brimming with sarcasm.
Jiang Liubin's face twitched, and he squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth: "You're the one who can't accept defeat!"
Being a young boy, he couldn't resist being goaded and coldly said, "I'd like to see what this wild girl can dig up!"
He added, "But let me tell you, you can't touch the foundation of the Heavenly Ladder. Otherwise, if anything goes wrong with the Heavenly Ladder, even if I forgive you, my father won't."
Jiang Liuyun snorted: "My sister would never let the Heavenly Ladder have any problems."
He was already a big fan of Yu Zhiyi, and after witnessing her extraordinary and unparalleled lightness skill, he became an even more brainless fanboy.
Anything my sister decides to do, there's absolutely no way something will go wrong.
Even if something goes wrong, it's definitely not my sister's fault!
Before long, the dozen or so guards, following Yu Zhiyi's instructions, divided into three groups and began digging at the bottom, top, and sides of the middle section of the Heavenly Ladder.
Jiang Liuyun asked curiously, "Sister, what exactly is buried down there?"
Yu Zhiyi said, "It's an extremely insidious formation."
Before long, all three teams unearthed something at the same time.
However, no one dared to touch anything in the pit.
because……
That's so weird.
The items in the three pits all looked exactly the same; they were all red oilcloth bags.
After opening the tarpaulin, the contents inside were revealed, and they were quite different.
At the foot of the mountain, wrapped in oilcloth, were several objects that looked like human leg bones.
What was dug out from the oilcloth halfway up the mountain were several ribs, two human arms, and bones from an unknown part of the body.
The tarpaulin on the mountaintop was quite telling; it turned out to be a human head.
Jiang Liubin witnessed the process of the skull being unearthed with his own eyes, and after hearing his subordinates report what had been unearthed at the other two locations, he immediately felt a chill run down his spine.
Although he doesn't believe in supernatural forces or gods, any normal, good person would feel a natural sense of awe and fear when faced with human remains.
He couldn't believe that anyone would be so bold as to bury such an ominous thing near the ladder to heaven, so he immediately leaped down to the mountainside to see the human torso and arms.
Yu Zhiyi's gaze sharpened.
Just as Jiang Liubin jumped up, she clearly saw several invisible black lines extending from the ladder to heaven.
The black lines quickly wrapped around Jiang Liubin's legs and then pulled him downwards.
Jiang Liubin felt his feet sink, and the lightness skill he used to be able to use was now impossible to execute.
His eyes widened in shock, and he could only watch helplessly as his face plummeted toward the ladder to heaven.
This isn't the scariest part!
The most terrifying thing was that there seemed to be an invisible force controlling his body. From the angle at which he fell, he should have just fallen onto the ladder to heaven.
Once his feet touch the ground, this height might cause him some injury, but it wouldn't be serious.
Moreover, he can also stop the downward trend.
But his feet couldn't touch the ground; instead, they kept swinging towards the ground hundreds of meters away.
"What's going on? Is this kid trying to scam me?"
Jiang Liuyun was startled.
Jiang Liuyi immediately noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Liubin. Without thinking, he jumped down and rushed to Jiang Liubin's side in the blink of an eye, grabbing his younger brother's arm.
With Jiang Liuyi's help, Jiang Liubin felt the invisible force that had been binding him vanish instantly.
However, he was still in shock and could only be led by Jiang Liuyi to the Heavenly Ladder. Then, he was lifted up by the collar and flew back to Yu Zhiyi and the others in no time.
Jiang Liuyun rolled her eyes at him: "With your pathetic skills, you dare to mock my sister? Pshaw!"
Jiang Liubin was still in a daze and didn't react at all to the sarcastic remarks.
Jiang Liuyun was about to say something when Jiang Liuyi stopped his foolish younger brother and then took off the jade pendant from his waist: "Look."
Everyone looked at his hand, and Jiang Liubin also came to his senses, his gaze falling on Jiang Liuyi's hand, looking puzzled.
Jiang Liuyun's eyes widened: "Brother, why has your jade pendant faded? What did you do to it?"
The jade pendant was given to me by my older sister. When she took it out, the whole family was present and could all tell that the jade used to make it was of the highest quality, with a uniform and beautiful color that shimmered with a faint emerald green light even without the need for illumination.
The jade pendant that Jiang Liuyi took out was still very beautiful in color, but it didn't shimmer much in the sunlight.
Jiang Liuyi handed the jade pendant to his foolish younger brother's palm. Jiang Liuyun immediately jumped up as if he had been burned, but didn't dare to throw the jade pendant away: "It's so hot! So hot!"
Jiang Liuyi looked at Yu Zhiyi: "Jin'er, what's going on?"
As early as when she saw Jiang Liuyi save Jiang Liubin, Yu Zhiyi had already foreseen that Jiang Liubin's calamity would not be today.
She sighed inwardly. His family's ties with the Martial Arts Alliance were too deep; they certainly wouldn't just stand by and watch the Jiang Alliance Leader's family die.
However, she has already given away the jade pendant, so how they use it is their problem.
She explained, "Someone set up a mold-gathering array on the Heavenly Ladder. Mold means bad luck, so as the name suggests, everyone who has climbed the Heavenly Ladder will be covered in mold."
"Moreover, the remains used to set up the formation were those of an unlucky person who had suffered a series of misfortunes in his life, and the unlucky aura was also tainted with yin energy."
"If someone has a strong birth chart and doesn't frequently visit the Heavenly Ladder, it's not a big deal if they get tainted by its bad luck and yin energy once or twice."
"Some people with weak birth charts, or those who frequently travel up the ladder to heaven, will accumulate bad luck and yin energy over the years. As I mentioned before, the bad luck and yin energy will become heavier and heavier with each passing day. At best, they will be plagued by bad luck and accompanied by bloodshed; at worst, their families will be destroyed and they will die."
She then looked at the jade pendant: "This jade pendant has the effect of warding off evil spirits. My brother just went to save people. Although Jiang Liubin was plagued by bad luck, that bad luck and yin energy are afraid of the talisman. Ordinary talismans lose their effect after taking effect; at best, they fade, and at worst, they turn into a handful of ash."
"But the jade pendant I gave you has a powerful effect in warding off evil spirits. After use, it will not turn into ashes, but will only fade and generate heat."
