After Lu Jianqing finished speaking, he recalled Li Zhongshuang saying that Zhang Yuan faced a bloody calamity. Seeing Zhang Yuan's exceptionally grim expression, he began to suspect something and asked:
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, surely you haven't been struck by this technique?"
How strange. Any divine ability or technique targeting karma was extremely difficult to detect. Those struck by a karmic death curse often felt nothing at all and died without ever realizing it.
If Zhang Yuan had been struck by a karmic death curse, how had he noticed?
Xiao Yuanjun and Li Zhongshuang turned their gazes toward Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan's expression darkened slightly. He nodded and said, "Unless I'm mistaken, this is precisely the technique Lu Qingwu used on me. Do you know how to dispel it, Fellow Daoist Lu?"
The one who tied the bell had to be the one to untie it.
Lu Jianqing and Lu Qingwu both belonged to the Hengyang Lu Clan. The karmic death curse Lu Qingwu used most likely belonged to that clan as well. Since Zhang Yuan had exhausted every means at his disposal in [Heaven's Sight] without finding any way to deal with it, he might as well ask Lu Jianqing.
Lu Jianqing's gaze likewise darkened. He sighed and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, our clan's karmic death curse is called the 'Karmic Debt Life-Repayment Method.' Once activated, it cannot possibly be stopped..."
His meaning was perfectly clear.
There was no way to dispel it.
"Hmph, what do you mean, it cannot possibly be stopped? Come here, Zhang Yuan. Your master will think of something. I'll use [Dusk Veil] to fool it for now."
Xiao Yuanjun immediately grew displeased upon hearing this. In her eyes, nothing was impossible as long as one was determined to do it.
No choice but to wait
