Chapter 21 Altar
Inside the Night God Palace, a girl covered in stitch lines was unyieldingly pounding the wall.
Her eyes were filled with anger, her fists clenched so tightly that they had already created a small pit in the wall.
But when a cold wind blew from behind her, she looked back with terrified eyes, as if startled by a mere rustle of leaves.
“Heh heh…”
However, before she could breathe a sigh of relief, an aged laugh echoed within the Night God Palace.
“It’s me.”
“Gu Qianyang, you guy…”
“Do you have to be so scared?”
Gu Qianyang’s voice echoed throughout the Night God Palace. Hearing his words, the Night Walker remained silent for a while before responding with a cold sneer.
“You know how terrifying that person is. Between life and death, she can make people wish they were never born,”
“The two of us joined forces to send her to the underworld back then, but this unreasonable monster could even cause all the ghosts and monsters in the entire underworld to have nightmares for three consecutive days. Even the ghost messengers working together couldn’t stop her from killing her way back from hell.”
“How can I dare to be careless with such a monster?”
The reputation of the guide, or rather Qin Liu, was known throughout the entire underworld.
It was no exaggeration to say that the Night Walker had never seen such a perverted and unreasonable monster.
The overly dark environment within the Night God Palace even gave the Night Walker a sense of inexplicable unease. She took out a few candles and lit them, and only then did her hanging heart feel a little bit relieved.
However, as the candlelight illuminated the area, a figure in a Taoist robe suddenly appeared by the candlelight. His wrinkled, extremely aged face showed a playful smile.
“She is not invincible.”
“Do you have any way to deal with her?”
“Sometimes winning a game of chess doesn’t necessarily have to be on the board,” Gu Qianyang said with a cold smile. “You can also make some moves outside the board.”
“I didn’t ask you to set up this Night God Palace just for good looks. The altar above has great potential.”
“After these days of careful preparation, I also realized that it is almost impossible to defeat her head-on.”
“But what if it’s from behind?”
“Although her soul is powerful, even with the protection of the formation in the black coffin, her physical body is extremely fragile. That formation is, after all, modified from the ancient sealing formation, and its carrying and protection capabilities are quite limited…”
Seeing that Gu Qianyang didn’t know how long he would continue his mysterious talk, the Night Walker immediately interrupted him.
“Stop talking nonsense. The two of us are in the same boat now. Just tell me how to get rid of her.”
“You’re really impatient,” Gu Qianyang wanted to continue his mysterious talk for a while longer, but seeing the Night Walker’s impatient expression, he said straightforwardly, “The answer is to start with the black coffin.”
“I drew the sealing formation on the black coffin.”
“Even though Qin Liu made some modifications to the formation to sustain her life, the overall framework of the formation will not change, so the same formation can still respond.”
“And the altar here shares the same origin as the formation in the black coffin. It can remotely control the formation in the black coffin. As long as we activate it, we can make her soul and spirit be destroyed.”
Gu Qianyang’s words gave the Night Walker some confidence, but Qin Liu’s strength was truly terrifying, so she couldn’t be sure if this method would work.
There was also a very important problem, which was how to activate the altar here.
The original plan was to take Deng Xiaolin, who had powerful spiritual sight abilities, and use her to activate this altar. However, this girl was currently under the strict guard of the other party, and it was almost impossible to succeed as easily as last time.
“The altar needs sacrifices… We don’t have any sacrifices to activate the altar right now.”
Gu Qianyang had naturally considered the Night Walker’s doubts.
“The Night God Palace is located in the center of the spirit vein of Night Shangfeng. The blood vine gu I gave you not long ago can absorb the spiritual energy from the spirit vein and use it to activate the altar, but this will take a little time.”
“About how long?”
“After the moon changes from full to new, the altar can be activated.”
———-
A few more days passed.
In an antique shop in the ancient town, an unexpected guest arrived today.
It was a man wearing sunglasses, who looked very dashing. He entered the antique shop, took a look around, and then asked the owner.
“Old Wu, is Brother Liu here?”
“You guy, still as rude as ever.”
Wu Yixuan sighed and said.
“Little Liu is upstairs. Is there something you need him for?”
“It’s nothing major…”
“Then you can just go back.”
“Hey, hey, hey, you can’t be so heartless, Old Wu.”
Chang Wenxu said with a playful smile.
“After all, I’m a regular customer here, aren’t I?”
“I’ve never seen a regular customer as rude as you.”
Wu Yixuan was a little helpless, but he couldn’t resist Chang Wenxu’s request, so he finally let him go up.
On the second floor, Liu Haoyu was flipping through ancient books.
He had been waiting for the night of the full moon for the past few days. Only when the full moon appeared could he pass through the barrier left by Old Deng on Night Shangfeng and enter the mountain.
Besides waiting, he had also examined Liao Tianyu’s corpse and combined it with ancient books to understand the true purpose of these blood vine gu.
Unfortunately, the blood vines that had originally wrapped around Liao Tianyu’s body had all disappeared for some reason, so there were no samples, and the black book couldn’t analyze them.
Tsk… Why is this book becoming more and more useless?
“So I need sacrifices! If you don’t give me sacrifices, what the hell am I supposed to analyze?!”
It was clear that the black book was loudly protesting.
“I want to find them, but I’ve searched the mountain for the past few days, digging three feet deep, and I haven’t found that blood-colored vine. What can I do?”
“That’s your problem. Don’t blame your incompetence on me.”
If the black book wasn’t just a book, it would have given Liu Haoyu a big middle finger for his shameless personality.
“Someone’s coming.”
Upon hearing Liu Haoyu’s words and the footsteps outside, the black book immediately fell silent and stopped talking.
“Is Brother Liu in?”
Hearing the familiar voice, Liu Haoyu put down the book, opened the door, and looked at the man in sunglasses outside, feeling a bit puzzled.
“Why are you here?”
“Isn’t there something I need you for?”
Chang Wenxu playfully hooked Liu Haoyu’s shoulder.
At this moment, Liu Haoyu also remembered the good deed the other party had done last time, and his face turned dark.
“This is perfect! I still need to settle the score with you for that time you asked me to hang out with a cosplayer…”
Looking at Liu Haoyu, who was full of resentment and killing intent, Chang Wenxu said with a bead of sweat on his forehead.
“Brother Liu, calm down, calm down. I didn’t expect your phone to be with your girlfriend, did I? It was truly unintentional!”
“But speaking of which, since your phone is with your girlfriend, it means your girlfriend should have come to Beiming City with you too. Where is she?”
“To be honest, I’m quite curious about what kind of girl it is that could capture your soul?”
