After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

Chapter 273 Tearing the Talisman

"Junior brother, the Linghai flower will bloom again."

Xu Youan froze completely, and after a long while, he spoke uncertainly: "Senior Sister, what did you say..."

Jiang Liqian suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head, as if something wanted to break free from the cage, but was suppressed by a huge and unshakable force.

She didn't hear Xu Youan's words clearly at all. When the severe pain disappeared, she was still a little dazed.

But before she could remain stunned for long, a dull sound of breaking ice was finally heard from the ice coffin, and the heavy coffin lid moved back inch by inch. There was no light in the dark coffin. The two of them stared at the crack that was pushed open. The next second, a hand as white as jade and with distinct joints suddenly stretched out from the gap and grabbed the coffin lid fiercely.

Five deep claw marks were immediately left on the ten-inch-thick ice.

The ice sword above the ice coffin seemed to sense something, and the vibration amplitude became more and more intense. The cold sword in the front could no longer hold back the monstrous sword intent, and was ready to pierce the monster that was about to break out of the coffin.

But at this moment, the coffin lid was stuck and no matter how hard the hand outside the coffin tried, it could not move it at all.

Jiang Liqian's heart almost jumped out of her chest. Even if it was just a crack, she could feel the terrifying aura inside. She had only felt that kind of oppressive feeling that could destroy the world in an instant from the furious Immortal Qingzhi.

But why did the coffin lid suddenly stop moving? Clearly, the seal here was mostly destroyed by the monster inside the coffin, right?

"It's a blood talisman." Xu Youan said, his expression a little serious.

Jiang Liqian immediately looked at the half of the blood talisman left on the coffin lid.

She had not studied much about talismans, and she knew about blood talismans simply because she had read a lot of books. In her understanding, once a talisman was torn, it should lose its effectiveness. How could this blood talisman still have the power of sealing?

It is true that the blood talisman is extremely powerful, but it shouldn’t be so unreasonable, right?

Perhaps sensing her confusion, Xu Youan explained, "Senior Sister, this water wall isn't just for trapping. It's also a sealing formation. This formation is sustained by the power of the blood talisman. As long as the sealing formation is intact, even if the blood talisman is broken, the spiritual power within it won't disappear. This is a seal where the formation and the talisman are interconnected, and it can't be explained by common sense."

After listening to this, Jiang Liqian suddenly understood.

When she walked in, she was wondering why a maze would be set up in a palace and what was the point?

It seems that she is superficial.

As expected, the junior brother’s talent in formation far exceeds hers.

After a pause, she hesitantly raised her left hand and pointed at the deadwood ring on it: "This water drop...could it be the reason why the seal is broken?"

Xu Youan was silent for a moment, looking away and not saying anything.

"..."

Had she been with Su Yanqing for too long and been affected by his bad luck?

"Senior sister, waiting like this is not a solution. I have an idea. Are you willing to give it a try?" Xu Youan said.

Jiang Liqian nodded dejectedly.

Right now we have to try everything we can. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we have to try any method, no matter what it is.

Xu Youan looked at the hand outside the coffin and whispered to Jiang Liqian.

"Senior Sister, the monster can't completely break the seal and come out yet. It's extremely weak. Instead of waiting for it to accumulate strength and break out of the coffin, why don't we take the initiative and attack it?"

"Take the initiative? You mean..."

Jiang Liqian's eyes fell on the half of the talisman.

Xu Youan nodded, walked over cautiously under her gaze, raised his hand, and tore off the blood talisman.

Then he quickly stepped back and stood in front of Jiang Liqian.

The ice coffin was silent for a moment, and then it suddenly trembled violently. The coffin lid was flipped to the ground with a "bang", and thick black gas poured out of the ice coffin one after another.

At the same time, sensing the breath of the monster in the ice coffin, hundreds of ice swords could no longer hold back their anger and rushed towards the coffin one after another from top to bottom.

Xu Youan immediately opened the protective barrier. His barrier could not only block out the external aura that was harmful to the cultivators, but also reduce most of the noisy sounds.

But even so, Jiang Liqian could still hear the "cracking" sound of the ice sword piercing into the bones, which made people shudder.

She stared at the movements of the ice coffin, waiting for the monster inside to come out so that she could react quickly. At least she and her junior brother would not be killed as soon as they met it.

Rays of light pierced into the coffin, but the ice coffin was like a bottomless pit. All the ice swords that had sunk into the coffin disappeared without a trace, and not a single one flew out.

Hundreds of ice swords were quickly used up.

Jiang Liqian narrowed her eyes slightly as her tense heartstrings were stretched to the limit. The light from the Spirit Suppression Pearl suddenly rushed towards the nearest lucky doll.

Xu Youan turned around in shock and saw that the head of a lucky doll had been pierced by Jiang Liqian.

The black water that was about to spread silently to their feet stopped and slowed down a lot.

Jiang Li saw that it was useful, and immediately went to destroy the second lucky doll, and then the third one.

The smiling face of the lucky doll was pierced, and its paper body fell into the black liquid and immediately turned into part of the black liquid.

The black liquid that was constantly spreading outward almost stopped.

Just when Jiang Liqian was about to destroy the last lucky doll in one go, the lucky doll that was supposed to be motionless suddenly turned into a crying face, and its paper body swelled up in the wind and suddenly became two people tall.

Its figure disappeared in the light of the Zhenlingzhu, and the next moment it slammed heavily into Xu Youan's barrier.

The barrier cracked rapidly like a spider web.

Xu Youan stretched out his long arm, grabbed Jiang Liqian's arm, held her in his arms, and quickly retreated to the position farthest away from the lucky doll.

Although it was inappropriate, Jiang Liqian was actually surprised and wondered when his junior brother had become so powerful!

Seeing that the lucky doll failed to hit the target, its head, which was two or three times larger than its body, turned with a creaking sound and turned towards her and Xu Youan again. The crying expression on its face changed into anger.

Jiang Liqian wasn't someone who would just wait to be captured. She said, "Junior brother, keep an eye on the ice coffin. I'll come and deal with it."

What kind of evil thing dares to act so presumptuously in front of her!

The Soul-Suppressing Pearl shone brightly, and the twelve golden beads transformed into a golden whip. Holding it in her hand, she flew directly towards the face of the lucky doll. The whip blew suddenly, and she swung it towards the strange doll face with the momentum of breaking thousands of bamboos.

The Fu doll's angry expression turned into fear, and it opened its mouth wide to swallow her. The black liquid inside emitted an indescribable stench.

Just as it opened its mouth, the golden whip broke its face in two and it fell to the ground.
