Jiang Li raised her hand to form a hand seal, and more than a dozen talismans spun rapidly around her.
The talismans gradually emitted light, becoming brighter and brighter around Jiang Li, eventually enveloping her completely.
The light was blindingly bright.
Tian Tian, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her eyes.
otherwise……
She was afraid that the light would blind her.
"break--"
With a loud shout from Jiang Li, the entire space was enveloped in blinding golden light.
Soon, the light dissipated, and the filthy evil energy was instantly purified. A crack appeared in the flawless space.
The crack was very fine, but it was right in front of me.
"Tian Tian, let's go!" Jiang Li stretched out her hand to Tian Tian.
Tian Tian immediately grabbed Jiang Li and walked to her side.
Before she could take two steps, Tian Tian froze, her face suddenly changing color. "Ouch...it hurts!!!"
The sudden pain made Tian Tian flinch, and then she curled up on the ground, rolling around incessantly.
It hurts so much...
The pain seemed to come from her very soul, tearing her apart.
"Tian Tian, what's wrong?" Jiang Li immediately squatted down to check on Tian Tian's condition.
He took Tian Tian's wrist to check her pulse, and found nothing unusual about her body.
"I...I'm in so much pain...I feel like my whole body is being torn apart..." Tian Tian gasped for breath as she spoke, "and there's a feeling like something is trying to burst out of my body...I'm in so much pain...I'm really in so much pain..."
As she spoke, Tian Tian's voice trailed off.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Li's expression became even more solemn.
She raised her hand, bit her finger, poured spiritual energy into her blood, and quickly drew a blood talisman. The talisman then disappeared into Tian Tian's brow and entered her body.
soon……
The pain on Tian Tian's face lessened a bit, and she weakly looked up at Jiang Li, "What... what happened to me?"
"You've been sacrificed." Jiang Li's tone was icy cold, because the talisman that had just used blood as a medium and spiritual power as a catalyst had instantly depleted much of her energy, causing her face to turn extremely pale.
She didn't expect this...
The reason why Tian Tian was being targeted was actually this.
"Offer...offer...offer?" Tian Tian stammered, looking at Jiang Li in disbelief. "What...what merit do I have to be chosen by those demons and monsters?"
Tian Tian no longer felt any pain in her body; her mind was completely stunned by this news.
At once……
I can't figure it out, and I don't understand it.
“You don’t need to think too much.” Jiang Li sneered, her tone full of mockery. “Since you are a demon, you naturally like to use evil magic to make yourself stronger. You may be ordinary and have nothing special about you, but maybe you just happen to meet their requirements in some way.”
"Just...just like that?" Tian Tian still couldn't accept it. "My birth chart isn't anything special. It's not extremely yin or yang, and I don't have any extraordinary talent or physique. How could it be..."
"Oh, you know about this?" Jiang Li said with amusement.
"Ahem..." A hint of embarrassment flashed across Tian Tian's face. "Although I've never experienced something like this before, I've seen movies and read novels. Usually, those who are sacrificed must have some extraordinary abilities. Otherwise, why would I be the one to be sacrificed?"
Jiang Li thought for a moment and answered Tian Tian's question, "Probably because... you're unlucky enough to have been noticed."
Tian Tian: "..."
She really couldn't respond to that.
She felt much better and took two more steps toward Jiang Li, but as soon as she lifted her foot, her body ached again.
"Don't move!" Jiang Li shouted coldly.
Tian Tian froze, a bewildered look on her face. "I...I can't leave?"
After Jiang Li's intervention, she was no longer in so much pain; she only felt a slight pain just now, which was probably a lingering effect.
But Jiang Li's expression told her that things weren't that simple.
"Hmm." Jiang Li's simple word filled Tian Tian with despair.
She silently moved back to her original spot and said to Jiang Li, "Then don't worry about me, just leave this awful place by yourself."
Her misfortune shouldn't drag Jiang Li down with her.
Jiang Li raised her hand and patted Tian Tian's head, using a bit too much force, which made Tian Tian feel a little pain.
Tian Tian looked at Jiang Li with a pitiful expression, "I can't even leave, and you still hit me..."
“You can’t leave in your current situation, but did I say there was no way to resolve it?” Jiang Li said irritably. “Now that I’ve found you, there’s no reason for you to leave on your own.”
As she spoke, Jiang Li muttered something to herself, and a sword without a physical form materialized in her hand.
"It might hurt a little later, so bear with it," Jiang Li told Tian Tian, then swung her sword and slashed at Tian Tian's back.
A sharp pain struck, and even though she was mentally prepared, Tian Tian almost couldn't withstand it.
However, the most painful moment is only for a short while, and the pain gradually subsides.
But Jiang Li, standing beside her...
Her face turned ashen instantly, and she staggered, almost losing her balance.
Tian Tian quickly stepped forward and helped her up.
"Jiang Li, are you...are you alright?" Tian Tian was also very weak and almost missed her, but she couldn't care less at the moment and asked anxiously, "Tell me, what can I do now to make you feel better?"
"It's okay, just sit next to me." Jiang Li found a seat, and then...
Take out your food and start eating.
Jiang Li mechanically stuffed food into her mouth, making Tian Tianxin feel extremely uncomfortable watching her.
In just a short while, Tian Tian noticed that Jiang Li's complexion had improved, and the discomfort in her heart dissipated somewhat.
Jiang Li finished eating and began to meditate to regulate her breathing.
This won't restore Jiang Li to her usual appearance, but it will restore her to about 60-70% of her original state.
at least……
Leaving this awful place is perfectly acceptable.
Meanwhile, Lu Shiyan had already driven to the foot of the mountain.
Seeing the sensing talisman dim, Lu Shiyan became extremely anxious.
Seeing that Jiang Li was very close to him and there was no road for a car to drive through, Lu Shiyan got out of the car.
After taking only two steps, Lu Shiyan turned back.
He opened the trunk, picked up a large suitcase, and left.
Lu Jiming followed suit, carrying something with him.
Lu Shiyan glanced at him and said, "Don't follow me. Just stay in the car."
"Uncle!" Lu Jiming protested, "The road ahead is fraught with danger. How can I let you go alone?"
“It’s precisely because it’s dangerous that I can’t let you go.” Lu Shiyan’s expression was solemn, and his tone left no room for doubt. “You just wait here and don’t wander off. If you notice anything amiss, leave immediately.”
“But…” Lu Jiming said urgently, “How can I turn around and leave just because you are in danger?”
"If something really happens, your going will only increase the casualties," Lu Shiyan stated calmly. "What can you do there besides throw your life away?"
Lu Jiming: "..."
"So listen to me, if you sense something is wrong, run immediately."
After saying that, Lu Shiyan picked up his things and left without looking back.
