Chu Lingxiao ignored the accusing voice. He slowly stretched out his arm, slightly bent his fingers, and mobilized the spiritual power in his body.

Under his control, the spiritual power flowed slowly like a lively stream, gradually condensing into a faint flame.

This flame looks weak, but it exudes a unique sense of solidity, as if it was compressed from the purest power.

Although the dancing flames were not dazzling, they faintly revealed a mysterious aura, as if they could really burn the soul.

Chu Lingxiao looked indifferent. He waved his arms gently, and the faint flame followed his movements and danced around the sedan chair.

Wherever the flames passed, the air seemed to be slightly distorted, and the surroundings instantly fell into silence, as if all the sounds were swallowed up by the mysterious flames.

Sure enough, as he guessed, it was a ghost that was haunting the area...

Moreover, judging from its childish words and actions, this ghost probably has the mental capacity of a three-year-old child... and is easily fooled.

Outside the bridal sedan, Gu Qingze's battle with the little ghosts was coming to an end.

He held a long sword in his hand, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, and there was a hint of sharpness in his eyes.

Those little ghosts in front of him were like fragile pieces of paper. He just casually waved his sword a few times. In the flash of the sword, the little ghosts dissipated one after another, turning into wisps of black smoke and disappearing into the air.

Just as the bearers were about to lift the sedan chair and continue moving forward, Chu Lingxiao's clear voice suddenly rang out: "Qingze, I want to get off the sedan chair now and go somewhere."

Gu Qingze was slightly stunned, obviously a little surprised, but he quickly regained his composure and obediently stretched out a hand into the sedan.

Chu Lingxiao stretched out his hand without hesitation and interlocked his fingers with Gu Qingze's.

He stood up slowly and was about to reach out to lift the curtain and get out of the sedan chair, but Gu Qingze was faster and took the lead to lift the curtain for him.

Chu Lingxiao let Gu Qingze lead him and slowly walked down from the sedan chair.

He was still wearing the festive red veil and did not lift it up just because it blocked his view.

When the sedan bearers saw the bride get off the sedan, they were immediately panicked and didn't know what to do.

They all turned their gazes to Gu Qingze, who had just saved their lives, their eyes full of questioning.

Gu Qingze keenly sensed their thoughts, turned his head and looked at them, with a hint of majesty in his eyes:

"Everyone, I sense that there are other evil spirits nearby. Stay here and don't move. After I eliminate the evil spirit, we will continue on our way."

When the sedan bearers heard his words, they looked at each other in bewilderment. One of the bolder sedan bearers couldn't help but ask:

"Then Immortal, why don't you go by yourself? Why do you have to bring the bride with you? If something happens to her, we won't be able to explain it to you."

Gu Qingze first assured: "Don't worry, I will protect her."

After that, he thought for a moment and made up an excuse, saying, "The reason I brought the bride with me is because she is the key to breaking the impasse. Only by bringing her with me can I better eliminate the evil spirit."

The sedan bearers only understood half of what he said, but they didn't dare to ask any more questions. They just nodded and said, "Then I hope you can come back safely. We will be waiting for you here."

Gu Qingze nodded slightly, and considering that the bearers might be in danger, he signaled them to gather together.

He raised his hand and drew a circle around them, then he took out a ring-shaped spiritual weapon from his storage bag.

The spiritual weapon emitted a purple light. He mobilized his spiritual power and input it into it. The ring-shaped spiritual weapon instantly formed a solid protective shield where he drew the circle.

"Before we come back, no one can leave this protective shield. Otherwise, whether you live or die, it will be none of my business."

The bearers hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Immortal, we will definitely stay here obediently."

After seeing Gu Qingze complete these steps, Chu Lingxiao slowly spoke: "Qingze, go to the northwest, we have found something."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingze held Chu Lingxiao's hand tightly and walked steadily in the direction he said.

Along the way, neither of them spoke, but the atmosphere was not dull. On the contrary, a tacit tranquility permeated between them, as if everything around them had become softened.

The road to the northwest gradually became rugged and uneven, like a winding dragon.

The surrounding scenery became increasingly desolate, and the earth seemed to have lost its vitality, leaving only withered weeds and rugged rocks.

The wind whistled past, bringing up gusts of dust, which filled the air like yellow smoke.

However, the dust all over the sky could not stop the two men's firm steps. They walked forward step by step, as if nothing could stop them.

After walking for a while, Gu Qingze finally couldn't resist his curiosity and asked, "Ling Xiao, what did you find?"

Chu Lingxiao smiled mysteriously, and his voice came through the red veil: "You will know in a moment."

At this moment, a magic circle suddenly appeared on the ground. The magic circle seemed to be drawn with blood and exuded a strange aura.

They were right in the center of the magic circle at this moment, as if they were being tightly grasped by an invisible giant hand.

At this time, the magic circle was completely activated, and red rays of light wrapped around them like ropes, trapping them here.

Moreover, this magic circle was draining their blood bit by bit, like a greedy and bloodthirsty demon.

Chu Lingxiao said calmly: "Qingze, I'm relying on you. I can't use my spiritual power until I get there."

Gu Qingze didn't ask the reason, but just held it tighter: "Well, just leave these to me."

He thought for just a moment and then took out a series of talismans from his storage bag.

The runes drawn on those talismans were like ancient characters, crooked and twisted.

He input spiritual power into the talisman, and the talisman instantly glowed brightly. Then, he threw the talisman out and said softly, "Break."

However, somewhat embarrassingly, the magic circle did not break as he wished.

Gu Qingze knew in his heart that the longer they stayed here, the more disadvantageous it would be for them.

He felt the blood gradually draining away from his body, his heart tightened, and he gritted his teeth, controlling the knife to slash at his arm.

The sharp blade instantly cut through the skin, and blood gushed out. The yellow talismans were instantly stained with blood and gradually soaked by the blood.

Gu Qingze shouted again: "Break!"

This time, the magic circle was completely broken, and the core of the magic circle also became fragmented.

Seeing this, Gu Qingze silently took out a clean cloth and quickly wrapped it around the wound. Then, he drank a bottle of recovery potion.

In order to prevent Chu Lingxiao from worrying, he not only did the whole process quickly but also remained silent.

Generally speaking, the easiest way to crack a magic circle is to find its weak point, which is the center of the circle.

But the higher the level of the formation, the deeper the eye of the formation is hidden, and the more time it takes to find it.

Therefore, there is another way, which is to arrange multiple small magic circles in this magic circle and then break it.

Gu Qingze just used this principle to break the magic circle.

Although he did not set up some small magic arrays on the spot, after all, he was not a formation master and did not have much knowledge in this area. However, he changed his thinking and used talismans to replace the effects of small magic arrays.

He didn't succeed the first time, not only because it was his first attempt, but also because this magic circle was rather special, using blood as a sacrifice and adding some strange buffs.

So when Gu Qingze tried it for the second time, he saw the red magic circle and couldn't help but think of blood. On a whim, he let the talisman soak into his blood. Unexpectedly, he successfully broke the magic circle.
