As he spoke, he directly swung the axe in his hand towards Gu Shiyan.

The sharp edge of the axe sliced through the air, hurtling toward Gu Shiyan’s head with astonishing speed.

The man’s pupils contracted, completely caught off guard by Lu Miao’s actual attempt to harm her companion!

Damn it, he encountered a lunatic!

His hand, which had been pointing the axe at Gu Shiyan’s head, instinctively pulled back.

Quick to react, Gu Shiyan swiftly tilted his head to avoid the incoming axe, and at the same time, with lightning speed, he lifted his leg and kicked the gun out of the man’s hand.

On the other side, Ji Nanchen grabbed the man’s hand and forcefully twisted it backward, performing a clean and efficient throw.

The three of them cooperated flawlessly.

The man’s response was swift. He raised his hand to swing at Ji Nanchen, causing a burst of yellow dust mixed with a pungent odor to disperse.

Taking advantage of the billowing dust, he quickly rolled on the ground and vanished from his original position.

Lu Miao coldly chuckled. “Thinking of running?”

She threw a few talismans in the direction of the door and window, sealing them shut.

Folding another talisman paper into the shape of a flying bird, she flicked it. The paper bird took flight into the air with remarkable speed.

Following a sharp bird cry, Ji Nanchen and Gu Shiyan suddenly felt their surroundings blur, transforming into a vast forest.

Towering trees surrounded them, soft soil and moss underfoot. The sound of flowing water echoed from a nearby stream, and the air was filled with the fragrance of foliage.

Even Ji Nanchen couldn’t help but be momentarily taken aback, amazed at the ingenuity of Lu Miao’s illusions. It was clear that others would never be able to replicate what she casually created.

A gigantic bird circled overhead, then abruptly swooped down toward a thicket not far away.

The flapping wings grew nearer, and a small emerald-green snake darted out from the underbrush, racing into the distance.

At the moment the bird’s sharp beak bit into the snake’s tail, the snake transformed into a massive python, which swiftly engulfed the bird in its gaping maw.

The python turned to face them, emitting an angry roar, arching its body as if it were a released arrow, poised to charge and devour them.

But in the next instant, the python’s belly was pierced from the inside by a sharp bird beak. The bird flew out from the rupture, clutching a still-beating heart in its beak.

Lu Miao formed hand seals, causing a small golden bell made of light to rapidly expand. With the momentum of a landslide, the bell enveloped the transforming python before it could escape.

The python struggled, attempting to charge at the bell. However, the bell shrunk smaller and smaller until the python could no longer endure. It transformed back into the form of a man.

The illusory landscape around them vanished simultaneously, reverting the room to its original appearance.

Lowering his head to examine his bloodied wounds, the man realized he had encountered a true expert this time. There was no way he could win against Lu Miao.

A wry smile played at his lips as he looked at Lu Miao, his voice tantalizing. “Do you desire immortality?”

Seeing Lu Miao’s silence, he continued, “You’re so formidable, yet in the end, you can’t escape death. I possess the secrets of immortality. If you’re willing to release me and allow me to complete the formation, I guarantee I can grant you eternal youth.”

Immortality—such alluring words.

Throughout history, countless individuals had exhausted their lifetimes in pursuit of it.

The story of Emperor Qin Shi Huang sending emissaries to seek the elixir of immortality across the Eastern Sea remained entrenched in legend.

He didn’t believe that anyone could resist the allure of immortality.

Looking down from a position of superiority, Lu Miao glanced at him. “After the founding of the nation, you’re taught not to be superstitious. Yet, you still believe in immortality? I don’t know where you got this secret scripture, but it’s evident that after going to such great lengths and killing so many people, the formation you’ve laid out is a sacrificial one. Furthermore, your formation has gone against you. Even if you ultimately succeed, you’ll be sacrificed along with it.”

The man subconsciously denied it.” That’s impossible. I was diagnosed with a malignant tumor when I was five years old. If I hadn’t relied on this formation to extend my life all these years, I would have died long ago. How could it be fake?”

“Because you have long become a part of the formation, the formation is constantly operating. While absorbing your vitality, it also has to ensure that you are a living thing. Therefore, the various organs in your body have long been exhausted, but you are still alive.”

Lu Miao ruthlessly shattered the last hope in his heart. She turned to Ji

Nanchen and said,” Get your men to come up and take them away.”

The man’s face was ashen. He had indeed gone to the hospital for a check-up. Ten years ago, the hospital said that all his organs were seriously failing and that he would not live for more than three days. However, he had been living well until now.

He thought it was immortality, but it turned out to be like this.

A hint of malice flashed across his eyes. In that case, as long as he kept the formation running, wouldn’t he also live forever?

Taking advantage of Lu Miao’s turn, he secretly cut his finger. Before he could even move, Lu Miao did not even turn around. He grabbed the fruit knife on the table and threw it behind him.

The man was shocked when he saw the direction of the fruit knife. He quickly spread his legs.

With a bang, the fruit knife pierced straight into the floor between his legs.

Gu Shiyan and Ji Nanchen, who were at the side, felt a chill down their spines.

Ji Nanchen gave Gu Shiyan a sympathetic look. Although it was very cool to have a big shot wife, it was really dangerous!

Gu Shiyan distanced himself from him in disdain. What did a single dog know!

Ji Nanchen rolled up his sleeves to reveal the silver bracelet on his wrist. He turned his wrist and took out a black rope, throwing it at the man.

When the rope touched the person, it automatically wrapped around him and tied him up tightly.

Lu Miao looked at it with interest.” Immortal Binding Rope?”

This kind of magic tool had been lost for a long time. Even she had never seen it before. She did not expect to see it here in Ji Nanchen’s place.

Ji Nanchen nodded and explained with a smile,” Master gave it to me.””

The cases he usually handled involved all kinds of demons and ghosts. Handcuffs and the like were useless against those things. With this, he was not afraid of them escaping.

Seeing that she was interested, he said generously,” If you like it, I’ll get someone to send it to you later.”

Lu Miao waved her hand.” I don’t need it.”

She was just curious. With her strength, there was nothing she needed to do.

Ji Nanchen,”Thank you, I’m really shocked!”

Seeing that Gu Shiyan, who was beside him, had been staring at the bracelet on his wrist, he immediately pulled up his sleeve to cover it up like a treasure.”

Tri Eye Technology was famous for being difficult to buy. Moreover, many of their products seemed to only be targeted at special groups. Ordinary people could not buy them at all.

Most importantly, this company did not give any special treatment to anyone. No matter who you were, you had to queue up obediently if you wanted to buy it.

“However, I suspect that the researchers in this company are not only big shots in science and technology, but also big shots in metaphysics. To be able to perfectly integrate metaphysics and technology, they are simply geniuses among geniuses!”

Ji Nanchen started to brag.

Looking at the rather familiar bracelet, Lu Miao rubbed her nose..
