Chapter 143: Execution Law 2

When Lu Fang heard this, he couldn't help but look at Zhao Qingzhu. Although he didn't like the deity, he had to admit that what it said made a lot of sense.

Before they came here, only the Ox-Horn Red-Eyed Demon and Zhao Qingzhu were in this special place, and he had heard what Zhao Qingzhu said.

Perhaps this special place was formed because Wan Juan's sacrifice failed.

So if there really was some kind of law, it was really possible that it was on the two of them.

It was just what were the laws related to these two people? This made Lu Fang somewhat unclear. Thinking of this, he looked at the deity and asked, "What does this law look like specifically?"

Zhao Qingzhu also revealed a curious expression. She had heard Lu Fang talk about laws before, but she only understood half of it.

She was more skeptical: would cracking the laws here really allow them to go out?

The deity nodded, "The laws of this kind of special place are various, depending on the specific formation of the special place. I imagine, Lord Wenguan, you have also seen the stone door you entered."

Lu Fang hesitated, "Execution?"

The deity smiled, "That's right. The law of this special place is execution. Actually, the way to crack such a law is not unique. If I am not mistaken, that Ox-Horn Red-Eyed Demon must have a certain connection with this woman."

Zhao Qingzhu frowned, lost in thought.

Lu Fang remained silent, but his heart moved. If it were according to the deity's statement, it was possible that Zhao Qingzhu executing the Ox-Horn Red-Eyed Demon, which Wan Juan had transformed into, could crack the laws here.

Clearly, the deity also thought of this point. It smiled and said, "I said it before, this way of cracking is not unique, which is to say, whoever executes whom, it can crack this situation."

"But what makes me somewhat unable to understand is, this girl doesn't look strong. How was she able to survive?"

"That's none of your business," Lu Fang said coldly, taking Zhao Qingzhu toward the ancient castle.

Zhao Qingzhu hesitated, "That person seems to understand the laws very well. Why don't we join forces with him? I feel that if we do, the chance of cracking the laws will be greater."

Lu Fang shook his head with a grave expression, "I don't trust that person. He has always wanted to kill me before. I can be certain that if there is a chance, he will definitely not show mercy and deal a fatal blow to us."

"If we both can't crack the laws here, even if we join forces with him, I feel it won't be of much use."

"Just now you heard the laws he said. Do you have any ideas?"

Zhao Qingzhu pondered for a moment and said, "Did you really see execution patterns on the stone door? If it is really like this, I feel perhaps if I kill the Ox-Horn Red-Eyed Demon that Wan Juan transformed into, I can really leave here."

Lu Fang nodded, "I also feel it is like this. Yesterday when I saw the chain around the Ox-Horn Red-Eyed Demon's waist, I felt somewhat strange. Now thinking about it, it seems to be a hint given by some existence that created this place."

"I have quite a few crystals for setting up arrays here. When the time comes, you set up the array, and we join forces. Perhaps we can kill the Ox-Horn Red-Eyed Demon."

Zhao Qingzhu shook her head, "It's not as easy as you think. Before, I also used array traps, preparing to kill the Ox-Horn Red-Eyed Demon, but its strength was too strong, the kind that can directly break the array."

"If you were a Fourth Rank, Third Stage scholar, perhaps you and I joining forces would have a chance..."

However, she soon changed her mind, because before she felt that given Lu Fang's realm, he shouldn't have many precious crystals and materials. But seeing the mountain-like crystals he took out, she was stunned.

This Sixth Rank, Second Stage scholar seemed even "wealthier

Zhao Qingzhu suddenly thinks of something and says, "That person just now seemed to call you Lord Wenguan. Are you a marquis of the Great Zhou? No, that doesn't make sense. You look so young; how could you be a marquis?"

Lu Fang had only mentioned his relationship with Lu Ling before and had not said he was the Lord Wenguan of the Great Zhou. Upon hearing this, he gives a rough explanation of the basic situation.

After listening to Lu Fang's account, Zhao Qingzhu says with some astonishment, "It seems I underestimated you before. To think you would risk danger to come and find me for Ling'er's sake—I am truly grateful to you."

Lu Fang shakes his head and changes the subject:

"The materials and crystals here should be enough for you to set up quite a few arrays, right? Even if the Bull-Horned Red-Eyed Demon is very strong, it shouldn't be an easy task for it to break through them one by one."

Zhao Qingzhu nods with a smile and says, "If we have these crystals and materials, we might be able to slay the Bull-Horned Red-Eyed Demon tonight."

Next, Zhao Qingzhu sets up arrays all around the ancient castle; some arrays are triggered as soon as one enters them, while others require her to activate them.

When the time comes, as long as Lu Fang provides some interference from the side, Zhao Qingzhu feels it is truly possible to kill the Bull-Horned Red-Eyed Demon.

Even if they fail today, because they are right next to the ancient castle, they can advance to attack and retreat to defend; they definitely occupy the advantages of timing, location, and human support.

Standing further away, the spirit watches Zhao Qingzhu setting up arrays around the ancient castle and mutters to himself, "It seems I was right. No wonder she was able to survive; it must be related to that ancient castle."

"But is it really true that letting her execute the Bull-Horned Red-Eyed Demon will break the laws?"

"Wouldn't that be a bit too obvious? With the restriction of the chains, it doesn't appear until dawn. If one doesn't think too deeply, it really is just a matter of letting her kill the Bull-Horned Red-Eyed Demon for the laws here to be broken."

No matter who sees this situation, they would subconsciously assume she is the one to carry out the execution, because the ancient castle remains intact to this day, which proves that the Bull-Horned Red-Eyed Demon cannot destroy it.

Added to the fact that there are signs of habitation inside the castle, it is clear that Zhao Qingzhu has been living inside, from which it can also be inferred that the Bull-Horned Red-Eyed Demon cannot enter the ancient castle.

In this way, if Zhao Qingzhu cannot win, she can enter the ancient castle, which provides an absolutely safe condition.

"I hope the laws here are that simple."

The spirit chuckles.

He does not like Lu Fang at all and even wants to kill him to seize his fortune, but he will not cause trouble tonight. Not only will he not cause trouble, but if possible, he will even lend a hand.

He believes that getting out of this godforsaken place is the top priority.

As long as he is not trapped here, he has his bloodline memory inheritance and is destined to achieve something in the future.

As night falls, the area around the ancient castle is quiet.

In front of the dim ancient castle gate, Lu Fang and Zhao Qingzhu stand there, looking toward the west, waiting for the arrival of the Bull-Horned Red-Eyed Demon.

They do not wait long before the sharp sound of dragging chains rings out again.

The Bull-Horned Red-Eyed Demon arrives before the ancient castle, a pair of blood-red eyes staring at the two humans not far away. It exhales from its nostrils, its eyes icy and devoid of any emotional fluctuation.
