"This guy is bewitched!"
Lord Xuan Huang followed up immediately, and its words were not merely a figure of speech. Yu Ci uttered a sound of acknowledgment; in terms of cultivation insight, he was inferior to Lord Xuan Huang and could not put his finger on the intricate details, yet his perception was still exceedingly clear.
Pan Chang borrowed the power of the talisman seal to view the changes within the secret realm like the patterns on the palm of his hand, but he did not know that someone likewise held the back of their hand to his every move, knowing it even more clearly than he did himself. Yu Ci and Lord Xuan Huang were precisely among them. This did not mean they saw Pan Chang's every action with complete clarity, but rather that through the induction of Qi dynamics, they could pierce through the operation of the target's vital energy, blood, and divine intent. Even though they were separated by a thousand miles, it was as if the scene were right before their eyes.
This situation arose precisely because of Yu Ci's scheming. He dared to voluntarily release his control over the first-layer talisman seal primarily by relying on Lord Xuan Huang's fundamental control over the secret realm. Although this fellow only had a shred of primordial spirit left and found it difficult to drive the might of the three-layer talisman seal, its existence alone was unquestionably a key—while the method of unlocking was extremely complex, having it versus not having it certainly made a difference.
As for Pan Chang, he was able to seize control of the first-layer talisman seal so easily precisely because Lord Xuan Huang had yielded a fraction of the usage rights of the talisman seal's primordial energy, picking and choosing this mediocre fellow.
