Chu Tian's thoughts turned suddenly, and he sharply asked Luo Lingfeng, "Ninth Grandfather, are you sure you have no offspring?"
Luo Lingfeng was taken aback by the question, "I haven't even gotten married, where would I have offspring? Boy, don't you dare tarnish my reputation! Believe it or not, I'll go out and beat you up?"
"Heh heh..." Chu Tian looked strangely at Luo Lingfeng, who had bristled at his words.
He said in a tone that everyone understood, "Not being married doesn't mean..."
"Damn it, shut your mouth!"
The more Chu Tian spoke, the more agitated Luo Lingfeng became.
His eyes began to dart around.
Could this old fellow really have an illegitimate son?
"Prepare yourself, I'm releasing you..." Lin Ran said, about to throw the wooden token into the formation.
"Wait..."
Luo Lingfeng suddenly shouted to stop.
But it was too late.
The wooden token in Lin Ran's hand had already flown into the formation.
*Swish...*
The wooden token landed, and a mist of blood spread.
Instantly filling the formation.
"Tian Ge..." Lin Ran was stunned because the formation was already half-activated.
The other party had called out to wait.
What should they do now?
He held another wooden token in his hand, unsure whether to proceed.
So he asked Chu Tian for his opinion.
"Can it be stopped?" Chu Tian asked tentatively.
He had a feeling that Lin Ran's formation couldn't be stopped.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be looking at him like a startled bird.
As expected, Lin Ran shook his head.
"Then let's continue!" Chu Tian gritted his teeth and said.
"Mm!" Lin Ran lowered his head and placed the formation token on the ground.
He formed seals with both hands, without any visible true qi or special abilities.
He muttered syllables Chu Tian didn't understand, his hand seals changing accordingly.
It was quite similar to how a mage cast chanting skills in Heavenly Dao.
This was Chu Tian's first time seeing Lin Ran perform such a Taoist technique.
Within his divine sense, Chu Tian saw that with each change of Lin Ran's hand seals, an unfathomable and unexplainable airflow appeared from nowhere in the void.
Thread by thread, it gathered at his fingertips.
This airflow was not cast by Lin Ran himself, as Chu Tian knew that Lin Ran was a completely ordinary person with no qi or special abilities.
Taoism...
was truly profound.
As long as one grasped certain techniques and principles.
It could allow an ordinary person to be like someone with special abilities.
After a few minutes, Lin Ran's finger movements became faster and faster.
In the end, it appeared as a blur even within Chu Tian's divine sense.
His ten fingers danced like butterflies, as if they had no bones.
"Open..." Lin Ran paused his hand seals, his ten fingers twisting together unnaturally.
His fingertips touched the formation token carved onto the Millennium Blood Sophora wood on the ground.
*Hiss...*
The formation token was like the first one, but the mist it emitted was not blood-red.
Instead, it was milky white.
"Pass..."
The mist emitted by the two formation tokens, inside and outside, suddenly stopped.
Next, within the formation where Luo Lingfeng was located.
The bloody mist began to churn.
Because of the mist, it was impossible to see clearly with the naked eye.
Even the bloody mist could not be detected by divine sense.
It was as if the formation simply did not exist in the current space.
Since the formation was activated, Luo Lingfeng's voice had also disappeared.
Therefore, Chu Tian had no idea what had happened.
The churning lasted for a few seconds before returning to silence.
"Out..."
Lin Ran's hand seals changed.
*Swish...*
A white flame floated up from the formation token outside.
Lin Ran reached out and grasped the flame.
He pulled it out with force.
As he pulled, the flame gradually grew larger.
"Tian Ge, help me..." Lin Ran seemed to be struggling.
Chu Tian quickly reached out, grabbed a handful of the flame, and pulled with all his might.
*Pop...*
The sound of a cork being pulled out.
"It's killing me!" Luo Lingfeng's voice suddenly came from the formation token.
"Uh..." Chu Tian only then realized.
What he was holding wasn't a flame at all, but a tuft of Luo Lingfeng's hair.
And his current appearance was extremely strange.
The sound of *pop* just now...
was the sound of his head being pulled out of the small hole on the formation token.
His entire head was several times larger than the formation token.
He tilted his head back, glared at Chu Tian and Lin Ran, and cursed, "You brats, you made me drill a hole, but couldn't you make a bigger hole?"
"This is damn impossible, only ants could crawl through!"
Lin Ran pouted at the scolding, "You old man, you have such a way with words. Having two of these Millennium Blood Sophora wood pieces is already good."
"You want a bigger one? Are you going to make a coffin lid with it?"
Luo Lingfeng was silenced by his words, and perhaps felt it made sense. He mumbled,
"Hurry up and pull me out!"
"Alright," Lin Ran grabbed a handful of his white hair and started to pull.
"Ouch..." Luo Lingfeng cried out as he was pulled.
Chu Tian looked, felt awkward about grabbing, and instead used his hands to support Luo Lingfeng's head and pulled with force.
Finally, Luo Lingfeng was pulled out like a giant radish with the combined efforts of the two.
The three of them lay sprawled on the martial arts field.
Or rather, two people and one spirit...
Luo Lingfeng grunted, as if he was in great pain.
Chu Tian, exhausted, lay there and asked Lin Ran, "Do spirits feel pain? Do you think this old fellow is faking it?"
Lin Ran shook his head and said, "I don't know!"
He got up, tidied his belongings, and formed seals with his hands, *crack, crack...*
Both formation tokens, inside and outside, shattered and turned to powder. Dafeng Novel Network.
"Alright, let's go! It's almost dawn. It's been so long and the Luo family hasn't been alerted yet. Don't the Luo family have patrols at night?"
Lin Ran finished speaking and turned to leave.
"Patrols, my foot. The Luo family's small world has a curfew at night, even the family members dare not come out."
"You two little things, you met me. If I wasn't here to deter those guards, you would have lost your lives long ago!"
Luo Lingfeng stopped grunting and stood up.
"Huh? What do you mean, you're saying there are other spirits here?" Chu Tian stood up, startled.
That's right. The Luo family's unfettered divine souls were extracted and used as guards.
At night, they would be released.
I was also refined and locked here using this method.
Although the spiritual bodies of those divine souls were restricted in their movement, they were not locked down.
Hearing his explanation, Chu Tian asked, "Then last night..."
"I'm not sure. Logically, it was impossible for you to get from the room to the martial arts field to encounter me."
"On this path, there are dozens of divine soul guards."
"You didn't encounter them?"
Chu Tian shook his head.
Luo Lingfeng frowned, "Let's go take a look!"
Saying that, he walked in the direction Chu Tian and the others had come from.
Along the way, he muttered, "Something's not right! It's not time for their break yet, why aren't there any divine soul guards?"
Lin Ran teased him, "With this... you're really amazing, you've scared away all the guards?"
Chu Tian muttered behind him.
What did he mean? Divine souls were killed by you, and then they had to be guards for your Luo family?
How much do you hate us?
Chu Tian secretly decided that he must not let the Luo family discover that he was a divine soul user.
