The formations placed on these three people by Gu Changqing were of the same type, but due to their different circumstances, they produced different effects, resulting in different ways of dying.
Although this formation is not considered advanced, as long as it is in Gu Changqing's hands, its power will increase exponentially due to his exquisite technique and powerful divine soul.
This formation also has a very elegant alternative name: "Nightmare and Desire".
Its internal structure is very ingenious. Once placed on the human body, it does not require the person setting up the formation to continue providing energy to maintain the formation.
The magic array can automatically absorb the energy supplied by the person on whom it is placed, without the person realizing that the array has been placed on them.
When it is necessary to activate the formation, all that is needed is to have someone lure a wisp of divine consciousness that was previously placed inside the formation, and the formation can be activated directly without any obstacles or distance.
The formation will produce different effects depending on the fears and desires in the hearts of those to whom it is set.
Li Anqi's desire for Gu Changqing to stay with her was the reason the formation activated her desire, and what it affected her body could be described as being consumed by fire.
The "fire" here does not refer to an illusion created by an array, but rather a real, burning desire that burns on her body. This flame is invisible to mortals, who can only watch as it burns her to death before dissipating.
This is why, even though she felt no signs of fire on her body, she was still burned to a human-shaped charcoal.
The imperial finance adjutant was activated in his nightmare form by the array sensing his inner fear.
It was at that moment that Gu Changqing stood beside him, using a finely crafted scalpel to sculpt his left arm into a work of art.
Although he was not conscious at the time, he only knew that he was suffering great pain, and his body automatically emitted unconscious screams.
However, his physical instincts still deeply imprinted that fear into his soul, keeping him in a state of constant fear of any sharp object.
The formation sensed his fear and subjected him to the torture of being sliced into a thousand pieces.
Countless sharp blades formed from array energy sliced him, lying immobile on the bed, into pieces of bloody flesh, one by one, according to his fear.
The last person, the obese and ugly but the source of the gold and jade pendant, was Wang Qi, the Imperial Finance Minister, who, like his adjutant, activated the Nightmare Mode of the array.
Although Gu Changqing was not by his side at the time, the feeling of fear still lingered in his heart.
Although he might have a chance to escape the building, he still dared not. He was afraid that if he left the building and abandoned the task that Gu Changqing had given him to guard the adjutant, Gu Changqing would suddenly appear in front of him and eventually torture him to death like the Second Prince.
Of course, the formation cannot create Gu Changqing out of thin air using its energy, so it can only pull him into an illusion constructed of energy.
Among them, he will experience his greatest fear. He will discover that the one who was in the dream realm and was fixed in front of him by Gu Changqing was not the Second Prince, but himself. He wants to escape, but unfortunately, he is just a mortal and cannot even break through a mere illusion.
In the end, the soul completely dissipated in the illusion, leaving only the ugly face of someone lying on the ground in reality, their face twisted with fear.
Gu Changqing glanced at the two corpses casually and then ignored them.
After re-establishing control of the dilapidated building from the wall he had damaged, he used a Holy Heaven Limitless Dao Technique to cover the entire building, just in case.
Looking at the dilapidated building in front of them, which seemed ready to collapse at any moment, upon contact with the Holy Heaven Limitless Dao Technique, it instantly vanished from its spot like an ant caught in strong acid, the hundreds-of-meters-tall building disappearing into thin air.
Without uttering any further words, after all traces had been cleaned up, Gu Changqing mobilized his divine soul and sped back to his residence in the palace.
After all, he had already wasted too much time searching for the golden jade pendant. Now he needed to intensify his comprehension of the Dao and wait for the golden jade pendant to be fully integrated in a day.
