It's just a simple killing formation, requiring no sophisticated techniques or materials. It can be set up on a person's body without their knowledge simply through divine sense. Although its power isn't great, it's more than enough to deal with these mortals.
The girl was unaware that after Gu Changqing found the gold jade pendant she had hidden under the floorboards, he would clean up both her and her grandfather's mess.
At this moment, she was still fantasizing that after this person found the last piece of gold and jade, he would release her and her grandfather, and then she could return to a normal life and no longer have to stay in that dark and filthy room.
There's no need to worry about that fat and ugly Wang Qi having any evil intentions towards her. She can simply take her grandfather and escape from this capital city to a remote and quiet place within the empire to live there forever.
But she didn't know that even if Gu Changqing hadn't set up any formations on them, let alone how she would escape the capital from the eyes of the Imperial Finance Minister, even if she were to miraculously leave the capital and not be found by the people sent by Wang Qi.
The land outside the capital is far beyond what the capital can compare to. Long before the arrival of the strange creatures, the entire continent's power system collapsed. Moreover, the outside world is different from the capital. Although the emperor is willing to eliminate the strange creatures, the empire's territory is too vast, and every day, dark clouds continuously send down all kinds of strange creatures.
With just a little girl like her and an old man with dementia, there are only two possible outcomes if she goes to the outskirts of the capital.
One possibility is that she was discovered by humans living outside the capital, who then coveted her appearance, ultimately leading to her becoming someone else's slave, and her grandfather being used as material for experimental monsters.
One scenario involves the grandfather and grandson being encountered by a strange creature without their knowledge, ultimately becoming infected themselves amidst fear and pain.
These are things that the girl, who grew up in the capital, would never have known. Under the management of the emperor and Marshal Morris, the capital had become a large city comparable to the one before the arrival of the strange creatures.
In some places, thanks to the Imperial Institute of Mysteries, people's lives are even better than before the arrival of the monsters.
In the capital, there was no threat from strange creatures, and the empire had some complete laws. Even Wang Qi, who was the Minister of Finance of the empire, had to resort to such underhanded means and spend so much time to get the girl, even though her grandfather, who was the Deputy Minister of Finance of the empire, had incurred public wrath.
While the work of ordinary people in the capital was arduous, at least they would have a basic standard of living, rather than being unable to afford food and starving to death in the capital.
Those who are truly poor are poor for various reasons, either because they are burdened by sin or because they are lazy.
The girl, enveloped in an invisible gas, felt as if a gentle breeze was blowing across her cheek, despite the immense wind pressure generated by the high-speed flight.
With eyes full of hope and anticipation for the future, the girl looked at Gu Changqing beside her and couldn't help but speak:
"Why can you fly? And why can you take me with you? Is it because of the power of the monster?"
As the granddaughter of the Empire's financial vice-minister, the girl naturally knew about the existence of supernatural beings and that some people could control powerful supernatural beings, such as His Majesty the Emperor who founded the Empire, who was said to possess an incomparably powerful supernatural being.
Seeing that Gu Changqing ignored her and was only focused on flying towards the palace, the girl didn't mind. After all, this was the kind of person she admired who wasn't bothered by desires.
Pouting, the girl seemed to have forgotten just how terrifying Gu Changqing was, and said to herself:
"I don't know your name yet. My name is Li Anqi. Is it nice? This is the name my grandfather gave me. As for my parents..."
At this point, a flicker of sadness crossed Li Anqi's eyes, but it vanished in an instant. She adjusted her tone and continued:
