"Cough, cough."
The darkness that had shrouded the night sky faded, and the surroundings returned to normal. Li Bai braced herself against the wall and staggered out through the door. Her appearance was truly horrifying: every patch of exposed skin was covered in livor mortis. Li Bai had always been pale, which only made the marks look even more terrifying.
"How are you feeling?" Now that they knew Li Bai had fallen victim to Yanzhen, everyone was much less afraid. The Fatty kept reassuring her, while Yao Shunyu remained lying on the bed inside the room. His condition was identical to Li Bai's.
After examining her for a while, they realized that although Li Bai was covered in livor mortis, she had none of the stench of a corpse. Her skin was smooth and supple, the blood seeping from her wounds was a normal bright red, and her body temperature was fine. In other words, if they ignored the livor mortis, Li Bai and Yao Shunyu were no different from ordinary people.
After listening to the Fatty's explanation, Li Bai finally calmed down. Not long ago, she had truly thought she was dead. "Miss Li, don't worry. I know how to break Yanzhen!" Tang Qisheng said, then headed straight for the two paper figures behind the courtyard gate. The person who had cast the spell was dead, and as long as they found the formation's core, the spell wouldn't be difficult to dispel.
He circled the two paper figures twice, then wet his finger with a little spit and gently wiped away the blood between their brows. "This blood between their brows was stolen from you. Now that I've wiped it off, all we have to do is find the formation plate used to cast the spell and destroy it.
