Chapter 822: Breaking the Blood Curse

"How is it? Brother Lu has also finished setting up, right? With these few magic arrays completely covering this place, even if there is a huge problem, we can deal with it. Besides, it's highly likely we are just wasting time," Marquis Lord Nanlong inserted the last magic flag into a corner at the bottom of the water pool, then clapped his hands and said with a bitter smile.

"Hehe! The old man would rather waste more time than have any accidents. If this place is really where the ancient cultivator's secret treasures are hidden, that would be best. If not, making some preparations is better than not doing so. Although the old man is very greedy for treasures, I value this old life even more," Lu Lu Weiying smiled slightly, saying indifferently.

Marquis Lord Nanlong heard this and didn't say anything, just shaking his head.

At this time, the old man placed the last array disk and activated the restriction, and a layer of pale white mist appeared around them.

The old man nodded with satisfaction, and only then did he turn around to face the stone gate flashing with blood light.

Marquis Lord Nanlong had long been impatient, and seeing the old man finish setting up, he immediately unceremoniously took off a storage bag from his waist and threw it into the air.

Instantly, a patch of white mist rolled out, and the crystal-clear ancient cultivator remains appeared on the ground.

"This Blood Curse Gate is also strange enough. Breaking the restrictions of this gate actually requires the essence or flesh and blood of the person who cast the curse to be lifted. Flesh and blood certainly can't be found. But there should be some cultivator essence left in these remains of the ancient cultivator," Marquis Lord Nanlong said solemnly, opening his mouth and spitting out the golden flying sword.

Then he reached out toward the void where the remains were floating, and the remains floated up, rising to five or six zhang above the ground.

Marquis Lord Nanlong flicked his finger, and a white magic technique struck the small sword that had stopped in front of his chest.

With a humming sound, the small sword trembled slightly, and the tip of the sword suddenly erupted with dazzling sword light.

It was golden and dazzling!

Then this sword light became brighter and brighter, transforming into a golden ball of light.

A moment later, the light ball transformed from the sword light instantly left the small sword and shot out, all striking the remains floating in the air, and the scene exploded.

Countless sharp sword qi crisscrossed, instantly engulfing the entire remains. In an instant, bone powder of roughly the same size drifted down like sand from the sword light.

Marquis Lord Nanlong's eyes flashed with essence, and he flicked his sleeve, and a patch of golden mist surged out from his sleeve, just wrapping all the semi-transparent bone sand inside.

The golden sword light in the air then dissipated.

Looking at the crystal-clear bone powder wrapped into a ball by the golden mist, Marquis Lord Nanlong nodded secretly. Then he turned his head and glanced at Lu Lu Weiying beside him.

Seeing this, the old man naturally knew Marquis Lord Nanlong's intention. He didn't stand on ceremony, rubbed his hands together, and the pale white magic flag appeared between his hands.

With a light shake, a gust of wind appeared out of thin air near the magic flag.

At this time, Marquis Lord Nanlong sat cross-legged, pinched magic techniques with both hands, and low incantations came from his mouth. Then spells of various colors flew out from his hands, all striking the golden mist wrapping the bone powder.

The golden mist was urged by these spells, wrapping the bone powder inside and rolling and spinning slowly.

These semi-transparent powders flickered with spiritual light of various colors in the mist, flashing incessantly, appearing extremely gorgeous.

At this time, the old man surnamed Lu tentatively attacked the stone gate.

He didn't panic and use the magic flag in his hand to attack, but casually raised one hand, and after a flash of red light, several fist-sized fireballs shot toward the stone gate in a row.

With a few light, muffled "pfft" sounds.

Just as the fireballs approached the stone gate, blood light flashed wildly on it, and then it came to life. Large swaths of crimson light gathered in the middle, intertwined and condensed, transforming into a giant ghost face exactly the same as the one carved on the stone gate. It was fully a zhang in size.

The ghost face swallowed the few fireballs into its giant mouth, flashed a few times, and immediately dissipated without a trace. The stone gate actually returned to its original state.

Seeing this scene, the old man surnamed Lu was shocked in his heart. But after hesitating for a moment, he pointed the magic flag in his hand at the stone gate again.

The gust of wind that had already appeared on the flag immediately transformed into a wind dragon, roaring and attacking the stone gate.

The ghost face appeared again, opening its giant mouth again. Large swaths of red light sprayed out from its mouth, instantly engulfing the wind dragon into the blood light, and it was received into the ghost mouth. Then the ghost face disappeared again amidst the old man's shock and anger.

The old man surnamed Lu and Marquis Lord Nanlong looked at each other, then looked at each other in dismay.

"This Blood Curse Gate is indeed somewhat strange. It's better to honestly follow Master Master Cangkun's method of breaking the restriction to lift this gate," Marquis Lord Nanlong sighed and said slowly.

Lu Lu Weiying heard this, touched his chin, and could only nod.

Although he had more powerful attack methods, the ghost face on the stone gate was truly too evil. He didn't want to mess up this matter by being clever. With Master Master Cangkun's great reputation back then, he imagined the breaking method he found had a greater chance of success.

"Go!" Marquis Lord Nanlong let out a low shout at this time, pointing at the mist in mid-air.

The golden mist shone brightly, and with a hum, it rolled toward the stone gate without hesitation.

Blood light flashed, and that ghost face appeared on the gate again. Just this time, the ghost face looked expressionless, and as soon as it met the golden mist, the bone powder mixed in the mist suddenly transformed into white light spots the size of rice grains, desperately sticking to the ghost face.

And as soon as the ghost face touched these light spots, wisps of grayish-white mist suddenly emerged, and the ghost face instantly dissolved. A moment later, the entire stone gate was shrouded in gray mist.

Shrieking ghost cries rose in the mist, and blood light flashed incessantly.

Then, thick blood-red tentacles rushed out from the mist, desperately whipping the bluestone ground, as if the entire stone gate had come to life. But in an instant, these tentacles were shrouded by the gray mist, and they melted and dissipated one by one.

"Now. Do it!" Seeing the situation on the stone gate, Marquis Lord Nanlong shouted loudly without hesitation.

Then he pointed at the golden sword in front of him, pinched magic techniques with both hands, and poured his entire spiritual power into the flying sword through the magic technique.

The golden flying sword instantly transformed into a dazzling golden rainbow, shooting through the air.

The old man on the side had a gloomy face, also pouring most of his spiritual power into the flag, and threw the magic flag in his hand directly.

After white light flashed, this flag transformed into several wind dragons, attacking the stone gate with great momentum again.

In the blink of an eye, the golden rainbow and the wind dragons plunged into the gray mist one after another.

A heaven-shaking loud noise came from the mist. Golden light, blood light, and hurricanes intertwined in the mist, then burst open after mixing into one.

After a gust of wind, the stone gate became clearly visible again, and the grayish-white mist was completely driven away by the explosion. Marquis Lord Nanlong saw this, his eyes narrowing.

The blood light on the stone gate was completely gone, as if all restrictions had vanished.

Shifting his gaze slightly, Marquis Lord Nanlong glanced at the golden small sword inserted halfway into the surface of the stone gate.

With a move of his spiritual sense, the small sword suddenly shot out from the stone gate, transforming into a golden rainbow several feet long, slashing wildly at the stone gate in a crisscross pattern.

A chaotic sound of rumbling came, and amidst the shining golden light, the entire stone gate was slashed into a pile of broken stones by the flying sword.

A foul, fishy smell suddenly spread out.

But when Marquis Lord Nanlong and the old man surnamed Lu saw the debris of the stone gate clearly, their expressions changed greatly.

The cut surfaces of these stone fragments were actually flowing with dark red black blood, just like a human. And that foul, fishy smell came from this dark red black blood.

This kind of situation was truly unspeakably eerie!

Although the stone gate was slashed to pieces, Marquis Lord Nanlong and the other didn't see anything shocking. Because behind the stone gate, a pitch-black staircase appeared, extending downward into the ground.

"Go! I'd like to see what kind of treasures are behind this Blood Curse Gate, making it so mysterious," Marquis Lord Nanlong looked at the passage that seemed to lead to the Nine Netherworlds, licked his lips, and suddenly said with a cold smile.

Then, without greeting the old man surnamed Lu, he walked forward with large strides, entering the passage after a few steps.

The old man surnamed Lu stood still for a moment.

He looked at the remains of the Blood Curse Gate dripping with black blood on the ground, and then looked at the passage exposed before his eyes, his eyebrows locked tightly.

Suddenly, he let out a long breath, lifted his leg, and walked into the passage.

Somewhat to the old man's surprise, this passage was very short, and after going only twenty or thirty zhang deep into the ground, he arrived at an underground hall.

The hall was not large, only seven or eight zhang wide.

Apart from an offering table, the entire hall was empty, with nothing else.

When the old man entered this place, Marquis Lord Nanlong was standing in the middle of the hall, staring blankly at the few things on the offering table, as if he were in a daze.

The old man walked over in surprise and looked as well. As a result, his heart was shocked.

"Heaven Origin Fruit! I didn't see wrong, did I? This is the Heaven Origin Fruit that can extend one's life by a hundred years if one eats just one. That purple spiritual ganoderma, could it be the Heaven-Mending Ganoderma from rumors? Looking at this heat, it should be ten thousand years old. Even eating it raw can advance decades of bitter cultivation? And this golden bamboo! Could it be the Golden Thunder Bamboo among the three divine woods! And this..." Lu Lu Weiying, seeing the six or seven types of flowers and plants offered on the table clearly, was first stunned, then revealed a look of horror, speaking incoherently. He almost couldn't believe everything he saw, couldn't help but take two steps forward, intending to take a closer look.

"Brother Lu, if I were you, I wouldn't be so reckless. Do you really think these spiritual medicines are just placed here naked for us to take? Look carefully at the surroundings before saying anything?" Just as the old man was extremely excited, Marquis Lord Nanlong suddenly said coldly.

"Brother Lord Nanlong, what do you mean?" The old man, like a bucket of cold water poured over him, immediately cleared his mind and hurriedly looked at the surroundings in surprise. "Eh! This seems to be the legendary Small Sumeru Vajra Array. How could the Buddhist sect's magic array appear here?" The old man surnamed Lu finally recognized some clues from the runes appearing on the surrounding walls, feeling greatly surprised.
