I didn't understand why Yang Yi's reaction was so intense, nor did I know what was so special about Mao Guoxue's hand gesture that could make Yang Yi so anxious, his eyes wide with rage.
But when Mao Guoxue's hand gesture was pressed against Yang Yun's forehead, I felt a jolt run through my body, startling me.
With a loud "boom," it was as if a series of muffled thunderclaps suddenly fell from the sky, accompanied by a rolling sound of thunder.
Then, the Blue Rune that had been pressed onto Yang Yun's forehead erupted with bolts of electricity, beginning to spread throughout her body.
I watched in horror as Yang Yun's rigid body trembled violently, as if electrocuted.
But then something even more terrifying happened. Mao Guoxue's hand remained firmly pressed against Yang Yun's forehead, still maintaining the imprint of that hand gesture.
From the center of his palm and starting at her forehead, strands of silver lightning spread across her body like a spider's web. In just a moment, Yang Yun's body had turned to charred remains, emitting wisps of smoke and a foul odor.
Only then did Mao Guoxue release his hand and stand up, turning his gaze toward the furious Yang Yi, unfazed.
At that moment, Yang Yi resembled an enraged lion, glaring at Mao Guoxue. Suddenly, he slammed his hand against his chest and then spat out a mouthful of blood with a "wow."
The blood splattered onto the runes before him, instantly amplifying their power dramatically.
Seeing this, Grandma Jiang's expression changed. She wanted to make the Ghostly Gu Worm evade the attack, but it was already too late.
Dozens of runes suddenly converged under Yang Yi's control and violently collided with the Ghostly Gu Worm.
With a loud "bang," it struck like an arrow released from a bow, sending the creature flying.
The hoarse and piercing cry clearly reached my ears, and it was evident that the blow had severely injured Grandma Jiang's Ghostly Gu Worm.
"Yang Yi, you actually harmed your own Dao Heart!" Grandma Jiang gritted her teeth as she watched her Ghostly Gu Worm being violently sent flying.
Mao Guoxue also frowned slightly, casting a complex glance at Yang Yi before hurriedly coming over to assist Grandma Jiang.
However, at that moment, Yang Yi, who appeared to be in a frenzy, had not lost his rationality. He snorted coldly, casting a fierce glare at Grandma Jiang and Mao Guoxue. His gaze lingered on me for a moment before he gritted his teeth and said, "The grudge of today, I Yang Yi will repay in the future. You all wait for me."
With that, he turned and left without hesitation, moving quickly. Even if Grandma Jiang and Mao Guoxue wanted to pursue him, it was already too late.
Moreover, from their expressions, I could tell that neither Grandma Jiang nor Mao Guoxue intended to chase after him. They merely watched the direction in which Yang Yi had disappeared, their gazes filled with complexity as they couldn't help but sigh.
Then Mao Guoxue ignored me and rushed over to help Zhou Zhen break the formation.
As for Grandma Jiang, she ran off to find her precious Ghostly Gu Worm, leaving me alone once again.
Looking at the charred remains on the ground, I instinctively shrank back a little. The shock from Mao Guoxue's earlier attack had left quite an impression on me.
A single talisman and what seemed like a simple hand gesture had unleashed such unfathomable power.
This was Maoshan Daoism; this was Metaphysical Arts.
Suddenly, I felt a great interest in these mysterious things, even nurturing a strong desire within me to explore them further.
I took a few steps back, took a deep breath, and pushed aside the chaotic thoughts in my mind before focusing my gaze ahead.
With Mao Guoxue's involvement, there was no longer any need to worry about breaking the Seven Fiends Soul Locking Formation. Even Zhou Zhen stepped back, drenched in sweat as he walked over to my side.
I was somewhat curious as I watched Zhou Zhen moving back and forth within the area shrouded by those runes, his pace remarkably slow.
Although the indistinct, terrifying figures in the formation were constantly swirling before him, they did not seem to inflict any substantial harm. Yet, he appeared quite exhausted, even slightly out of breath.
I said, "Uncle Zhou, what's wrong with you?"
Zhou Zhen wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied, "Oh, it's nothing. Just a bit too tense."
"Too tense?" I frowned slightly, not quite understanding what he meant. Could being tense really lead to this state?
Seeing my puzzled expression, Zhou Zhen explained, "Yes, tense. Do you think breaking this formation is easy?"
"But you haven't broken it yet," I pointed out.
"Of course not. It can't be broken, which is why I'm tense."
At this point, Zhou Zhen paused for a moment, took a few deep breaths to steady himself, and continued, "This Seven Fiends Soul Locking Formation may seem simple, but its changes are unpredictable. One wrong step could set off a chain reaction; if I make a mistake, it’s not just about breaking the formation—my own safety could be at risk."
"What kind of danger?" I asked anxiously.
"At best, my three souls and seven spirits could be trapped within the formation; at worst, they could be devoured by the Seven Fiends inside."
"Isn't that equivalent to death?"
"Naturally."
However, Zhou Zhen took a moment to compose himself and added, "But don’t worry too much. While this formation is formidable for me, if Mao Guoxue intervenes, it will be a piece of cake for him. We just need to wait for a little while."
I nodded and glanced over, still believing in Mao Guoxue's abilities. At that moment, I wasn't in such a hurry anymore; I simply waited quietly.
After a while, Grandma Jiang approached, but she was alone. Her expression was somewhat grim, and the creature known as Ghostly Gu Worm was nowhere to be seen.
So I asked her where the worm had gone. Did it die?
Upon hearing this, Grandma Jiang shot me a fierce glare and snapped, "Even if you die, it won't."
I turned my head away, feeling speechless. It seemed that the life of a Gu Worm was more precious than that of a human.
Despite my annoyance, I wasn't angry because I could sense Grandma Jiang's affection and concern for Ghostly Gu Worm. I could imagine the effort she had put into it.
After a moment of silence, I couldn't help but ask her about what she had mentioned earlier—what was Dao Heart?
Grandma Jiang gave me a cold glance. I felt a bit awkward and scratched my head, thinking she might not want to engage with me. However, she still said, "Dao Heart is where one's cultivation lies; it's very important for a person. You wouldn't understand if I explained too much now, but once you follow Gu Chen later on, you'll gradually come to understand."
Hearing this, I frowned slightly. Although Grandma Jiang only spoke a few words, I could tell that this so-called Dao Heart was unexpectedly significant.
From what Grandma Jiang had said earlier, it seemed that Yang Yi had harmed his own Dao Heart.
No wonder he left in such rage. Thinking back on it now sent a shiver down my spine; with Yang Yi's exceptional Maoshan Techniques, if he sought revenge...
Just the thought of it made my expression turn extremely grim.
"You're worried that Yang Yi will retaliate against you," Grandma Jiang said with narrowed eyes as she looked at me.
I nodded and replied, "He's so powerful; it would be easy for him to harm me."
Grandma Jiang nodded and said, "That's true. Now that the mask has been torn off, he doesn't need to hide anymore. If he really wants to deal with you, there are indeed many ways."
"What should we do?" I asked anxiously.
Zhou Zhen also frowned slightly, clearly aware of the stakes involved.
Grandma Jiang looked a bit disdainful and said, "What are you afraid of?"
I was speechless; it was hard not to be afraid.
But Grandma Jiang continued, "Isn't there Gu Chen? Just let him take you to find Gu Chen." She pointed at Zhou Zhen as she spoke.
"Senior Gu."
Zhou Zhen furrowed his brow and said, "But I don't know where Senior Gu is."
"Don't worry about that. Just because you don't know doesn't mean others don't," Grandma Jiang replied calmly.
Zhou Zhen was momentarily stunned. "Do you know?"
Grandma Jiang nodded indifferently and said, "Once this matter is settled, I'll tell you. At that time, you can take him to find that Old Guy. It will indeed be much safer by his side."
"Of course," Zhou Zhen nodded repeatedly.
As we spoke, a surge of ominous Yin Sha energy suddenly spread out in all directions. Zhou Zhen exclaimed in alarm, "Not good! The formation has been broken!"
At that moment, I also realized that the Seven Fiends Soul Locking Formation had indeed been shattered by Mao Guoxue. When I looked over, seven grotesque Withered Faces suddenly charged toward us.
The seven figures were none other than the Seven Fiends, and as they charged toward me, I was left dumbfounded.
In an instant, seven runes shot forth like streaks of light, seemingly locking onto their target, and directly struck the Seven Fiends who had just escaped from the formation.
In a moment, their screams echoed one after another, and within seconds, they were reduced to ashes. At that moment, Mao Guoxue calmly stepped forward.
I quickly glanced behind him and furrowed my brow slightly.
As he approached us, I hurriedly asked, "Second Uncle, where is Mu Yan?"
The Seven Fiends Soul Locking Formation had been broken, but I did not see Mu Yan anywhere. This immediately sent a wave of panic through me. Could it be that Mao Guoxue had killed Mu Yan as well?
Or had she already perished in the formation before Mao Guoxue broke it?
A strange feeling surged within me, and at that moment, my heart ached painfully.
