Chapter 79: [Differentiate Risks, It

This worship of the five good sons made Jiang Junhe faint happily.

Three souls and seven spirits lost one soul and one spirit again, leaving only one soul and three spirits.

The soul of a Golden Core cultivator had long been integrated into one, but this loss of soul power exceeded sixty percent, and he was already unable to effectively control his body and spiritual power.

Soul not attached to the body, he fainted; unless he supplements soul power, he will not be able to wake up.

Jiang Junhe has lost the ability to resist; Lu Chengtong could have killed him directly.

But in order to verify the effect of the supernatural ability, he still let Jiang Junhe's five good sons continue to kneel and bow to him.

On the seventh day, burning talismans, kneeling and bowing, recording, after a set of processes was done, in the array, Jiang Junhe's soul was completely drawn out of his body.

His entire soul was divided into five parts, attached to the five straw men respectively.

What is magical is that on the five straw men, his consciousness is complete, and he can clearly see his five sons in front of him.

"Rebellious sons! What are you doing!?"

No one responded to him; the five people just looked at him with dull and hollow eyes.

Jiang Junhe realized that these few sons had become puppets and shouted even more furiously at the people behind them:

"Who is it, who exactly are you, why do you want to harm me!"

Can Lu Chengtong answer him?

Obviously, he cannot.

Should he say, I killed two of your sons, now it's your turn?

Stepping into the cultivation world, there are disasters everywhere; perhaps one day he will also be inexplicably killed by someone, which is why he will work hard to develop family members.

With more people, risks can be shared, and the family will not be exterminated.

With the Treasure Mirror in hand, he believes that as long as the Lu family's inheritance is not extinguished, then one day, the long-cherished wish of resurrecting the ancestor will be achieved.

Perhaps, by then, he can resurrect him along the way.

Of course, he still wants to complete the first ancestral instruction of the Lu family personally, doing his best!

Lu Chengtong stopped listening to Jiang Junhe's cursing; he didn't intend to show his face either, letting Jiang Junhe's five sons take turns picking up the small peach wood bow beside them and shooting an arrow at the straw man.

The first person shot an arrow, instantly draining twenty years of his lifespan.

In the previous few days, every time he knelt and bowed, it would drain ten years of lifespan from each of the five people, which means that seventy years of lifespan had already been extracted from each of them.

The first arrow shot out and hit the straw man's left eye.

Jiang Junhe's left eye in the array went blind.

The second person shot an arrow, hitting Jiang Junhe's right eye, also losing twenty years of lifespan, and Jiang Junhe's right eye also went blind.

Then it was the third person.

Last time, Lu Chengtong worshipped a lower-level cultivator, and it only took three arrows to take the other party's life.

But this time it was killing across realms, at least five arrows.

The third arrow struck Jiang Junhe in the mouth, dissipating the breath within his body.

Then it struck his dantian, directly shattering the Golden Core within him and completely stripping him of his cultivation.

The final arrow, still in the heart, severed his heart meridian, and Jiang Junhe died.

His soul flew away and his spirit scattered.

The order of shooting the arrows cannot be reversed; apart from the two eyes, the seven arrows have a prescribed sequence. If it is wrong, it is equivalent to the spell failing.

If the person is killed by others during the casting process, it is also equivalent to the spell failing.

Five people cast the supernatural power together; although each only shot one arrow, arrow holes appeared on all of their straw men.

This is equivalent to all of them successfully casting the spell.

Five arrows shot, equivalent to each losing twenty years of lifespan, a total loss of one hundred years of lifespan; added to the seventy years each previously, the total consumption was four hundred and fifty years of lifespan.

If one person were to initiate it, it would only require consuming one hundred and seventy years of lifespan.

It seems like a loss, but in reality, Lu Chengtong discovered that the five people can actually be separated; as long as one person succeeds, the final target will still be killed.

During the ritual, Jiang Junhe's divine soul power was divided into five parts, each establishing a connection with the five people.

To prevent the final result, he must destroy all the altars; missing even one means death.

In other words, as long as Lu Chengtong sets up enough altars so that the enemy cannot destroy them after sensing them, then it is basically equivalent to the opponent being doomed to die.

Of course, the price is enormous.

For a Foundation Establishment cultivator to kill a Golden Core cultivator through cross-realm ritual, if initiated by a single person, it requires consuming a full one hundred and seventy years of lifespan.

And usually, a Foundation Establishment cultivator only has two hundred years of lifespan remaining.

A single-person ritual is equivalent to one life for one life.

After all, with only a few decades or even a dozen years of lifespan left, it is impossible to have any more breakthroughs.

Lifespan is a very important thing; why is it said that one must reach Foundation Establishment before the age of one hundred? Because after one hundred, lifespan is reduced by more than half, the body's spirituality weakens, and the possibility of successful Foundation Establishment becomes smaller and smaller.

It is the same when reaching other realms; if too much lifespan is lost and the body decays, one might as well just wait for death.

However, using the life of one Foundation Establishment cultivator to trade for a Golden Core enemy is very profitable for a family.

Back when they were at Chanyun Mountain, if the Lu Family had possessed this supernatural power, they would not have had to fight to the death.

There is another benefit to multiple people worshipping together.

Although the overall consumption is high, when finally divided among everyone, it only consumed ninety years of lifespan each.

They can still use it once more.

Lu Chengtong first had his clone submit the mission for killing Jiang Junhe, then pondered the next target.

Hmm, it's you, Jiang Chuanliu!

——

The scene returns to yesterday.

Jiang Junhe had Jiang Chuanliu wait above the secret chamber of the former Jiang Qiuzhi in Bailing City, ready at any time to receive his message and unleash a thunderous strike on a piece of land below.

Jiang Chuanliu waited and waited here; seeing that the agreed-upon time had passed by more than half an hour, he realized something was wrong and hurriedly returned to Shengling Mountain to report this matter to Jiang Qianchou.

He knew very well that this matter was not something his level could resolve.

He could only pin his hopes on the Branch Master, who had a Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivation.

Upon hearing that there was such an unimaginable and bizarre method, and that it was targeting his own descendant, Jiang Qianchou immediately gave it his full attention.

He took Jiang Chuanliu to find Jiang Qin, who was at the late Golden Core stage.

Jiang Qin is Jiang Qianchou's younger sister and possesses a skill in divination; she can be considered one of the family's foundations.

After listening to the two's account, Jiang Qin's expression was grave, and while holding a tortoise shell for divination, she said:

"I fear Jiang Junhe is already in grave danger."

As the words fell, the spell was completed, and she smashed the tortoise shell.

Seeing the distribution and shape of the fragments, Jiang Qin sighed.

"The hexagram shows that Jiang Junhe can no longer be saved; even if you go looking for him now, you will not find him. He will be completely dead by the day after tomorrow."

Jiang Qianchou did not care about the life or death of a descendant, and said:

"A-Qin, divine again and see if this person is targeting Jiang Junhe alone, or if they want to deal with my entire Jiang Family Shengling Lineage!?"

Jiang Qin nodded and divined again; this time, her face turned pale, clearly having suffered some backlash.

Divination requires paying a price; physical damage and loss of lifespan are the most common.

The previous divination had a destined result, which was nothing, but the latter divination had an uncertain result and involved quite a lot, so she naturally had to pay a certain price.

Seeing the result, Jiang Qin's expression became even uglier.
