Chapter 106
“It’s called the Soul Eating Spell. I cannot cast it by force. The person I cast it on has to accept it of their own free will. If they had been reluctant, the spell wouldn’t have worked,” Jiang Chen explained.
“What can the spell do?” Wen Xin asked.
“Turn them into loyal servants who obey me under all circumstances.”
Wen Xin took a deep breath and said, “Such a powerful spell only needs a few drops of blood to take effect?”
“It wasn’t average blood. It was essence blood,” Jiang Chen said.
“Essence blood?” Not until then did Wen Xin notice Jiang Chen’s pale face. He looked fatigued.
Then, Jiang Chen took a huge amount of Revival Elixirs to recover the color on his face.
Dorchid had no idea what had happened there. She was surprised to see Chu Luo alive.
“She regretted what she had done, so she recognized me as her master,” Jiang Chen said.
“Oh?”
Dorchid was confused. Knowing nothing about the spell, she found his words ridiculous, but she was still in deep sorrow, so she didn’t try to get to the bottom of it. She just said, “Let’s leave here.”
“Okay. Just one second.”
Jiang Chen ran towards the statue of the general and estimated its height. He put it into his mustardseed ring when he made sure it could hold the statue.
“Can you take this thing out with you?” Wen Xin said.
“This statue is pretty complicated. It’s a mix of spiritual weapons, tactical formations and secret methods of the Era of the Hero. It’s used to guard the imperial mausoleum. The guy who designed it of course wouldn’t want it away from the mausoleum, so he left a restraining order on it.
“There are two levels. The first level of the restraining order will awaken the statue as soon as it leaves the imperial mausoleum, so that it can kill every living thing in front of it. As for the second level, if the statue is awoken outside, it will fight until its death without differentiating friends from enemies.”
“So why do you want to take it?” Wen Xin was confused.
“If a person is even smarter than the designer, of course he will be able to crack the restraining order and make it his own,” Jiang Chen smiled.
“Are you supposed to be that smarter person?” Wen Xin rolled her eyes. She sensed the confidence in his tone.
Jiang Chen grinned and didn’t answer. He glanced at the exit on the other side of the Guardian Palace and said, “Let’s go. Head for the Supreme Underground Palace. Let’s leave as soon as possible. We’ve gained a lot on this trip, but it doesn’t mean anything if we can’t leave this place.”
“That’s true.”
Wen Xin agreed with him. They had been trapped underground for almost a whole night.
