Xia Mian smiled gently and brushed a strand of hair from her temple, her smile soft and harmless, "Tell me, what is the Mystic Sect?" How could things of Xuanxue be understood with ordinary thinking? "If I want you dead, you’ll naturally die quietly!" Xia Mian’s lips curled slightly, smiling innocently, "Breaking the law? That’s impossible!" Beside them, Lu Zhenqing, holding Shen Man, was already scared stiff. Is this the fiancée his damned son chose? Such an Evil God, if she truly entered the Lu Family, wouldn’t know how he’d die one day? "Xia Mian! Age eighteen, born on January 1st, New Calendar, destined as a bane, I, Gu Xiang, make this oath, if Xia Mian perishes, may I descend to Hell with her!" The man bit down with his teeth, using blood from his lips to begin drawing on the ground. If he couldn’t beat her, then he would drag Xia Mian to Hell together! But despite the man’s blood oath, Xia Mian showed no reaction at all. More absurdly, Xia Mian looked at him as if watching an idiot, "When you learned Taoist Techniques, didn’t your master teach you not to swear against someone with higher Taoist Skill than you?" Xia Mian’s smile was light and effortless, but Gu Xiang went pale, his whole body beginning to tremble. "Descend together? Ha, you wish!" Xia Mian threw down the words, pointing lightly in Gu Xiang’s direction, "I bless you to not enter the Three Thousand Worlds, nor the Yin, nor the Yang, nor the Six Paths! Forever trapped in Abyss!" As Xia Mian spoke, the man’s face visibly withered. "Impossible!" Gu Xiang yelled in rage. How could it be? He checked, Xia Mian was clearly only eighteen! Half his life wasted on Taoist Techniques, yet he couldn’t beat an eighteen-year-old girl! "Master!" Master Xie finally panicked; if the master died, he’d be the next unlucky one! Just as Master Xie rushed towards Gu Xiang, Gu Xiang slapped a palm on Master Xie’s head, "Blood oath transfer!" Master Xie stood there frozen, blood oath transfer!!! The master transferred Xia Mian’s oath upon him?!! "Master!!!" Master Xie’s face turned ghostly pale, blood tears streamed from his eyes. He thought bringing the master would back him up, never expecting the master to use him as a scapegoat! Master Xie’s Taoist Skill was not as profound as Gu Xiang’s, naturally he couldn’t withstand the backlash of the blood oath, and in mere moments, he perished bleeding from seven orifices. Having transferred the blood oath, Gu Xiang was also badly weakened, cautiously retreating to Shen Man and Lu Zhenqing’s side, and said to Lu Zhenqing, "You go stall her!" Lu Zhenqing was so scared his legs went limp, his feet disobedient, how could he go forward? Gu Xiang’s eyes flashed maliciously, "She won’t harm you, go!" No matter how weak, Lu Zhenqing was still Lu Zechuan’s biological father! As long as Xia Mian cared about her feelings with Lu Zechuan, she wouldn’t strike Lu Zhenqing down. Lu Zhenqing was somewhat intimidated by Xia Mian, but hearing Gu Xiang’s words, for the sake of his beloved Mannan, he charged at Xia Mian in a flurry. Meanwhile, Gu Xiang picked up the barely conscious Shen Man and darted towards the passage! But as soon as Gu Xiang reached the mouth of the passage, he was kicked back by some invisible force. Gu Xiang gritted his teeth angrily, quickly biting his finger, and drawing fiercely in the air, "With my blood, I offer sacrifice to my ancestors, open the heavenly gate, aid my escape!" As Gu Xiang’s words fell, a mist swirled around him, and in the next moment, he abruptly vanished! Xia Mian, entangled with Lu Zhenqing, spun back, glaring at the spot where Gu Xiang disappeared, her eyes frosty. He ran again; he escaped again!!! Xia Mian was furious, lowering her gaze to Lu Zhenqing clutching her ankle, "Mr. Lu, you truly are a good father!" Dropping these words, Xia Mian kicked Lu Zhenqing away, turned in anger, and strode off. Lu Zechuan, hidden in the shadows, hurried to catch up. Xia Mian was in a foul mood. If she had resolutely kicked Lu Zhenqing off when he first clung to her ankle, Gu Xiang wouldn’t have had the chance to escape! "Forget it." Lu Zechuan spoke to console, "Didn’t you say before, everything is destined, maybe it’s not meant for him to die." Xia Mian turned to glance at Lu Zechuan, "His fate, I will determine!" So what if he ran? First he swore against her, then used blood sacrifice, even if he doesn’t die, within a year or half he will be as good as useless! Carefully trailing behind them, Lu Zhenqing, upon hearing this, shivered uncontrollably. His future daughter-in-law had a bad temper; he was a bit afraid of her now... The three of them exited the passage, and Xia Mian first removed the Concealing Talisman from the car before getting into it with Lu Zechuan. Not far away, Lu Zhenqing watched as a car from their house garage appeared suddenly in the space, his eyes bulging like saucers, nearly dropping out. My god, what did he witness? His daughter-in-law performing magic tricks? Summoning a car out of thin air?! After witnessing his daughter-in-law’s car stunt, Lu Zhenqing originally thought his heart was strong enough; now, he felt it still wasn’t strong enough! Xia Mian glanced at him coldly from the corner of her eye, "Do you realize, secretly taking a vial of blood from Lu Zechuan was enough for someone with bad intentions to take his life!" Xia Mian didn’t want to bother with Lu Zhenqing, but feared the fool might dare play tricks with them again, so she held back her impatience and spoke one more time to him. Lu Zhenqing blinked, looking confused, "It’s just a vial of blood, isn’t it? Can’t be that serious! Didn’t even meet the minimum standard for blood donation..." Xia Mian didn’t speak, instead she strode towards Lu Zhenqing. Lu Zhenqing was scared into retreating two steps, directly cornered outside the car by Xia Mian. Xia Mian raised her hand and slit Lu Zhenqing’s wrist, letting out a bit of his blood. Then, she pointed lightly at a nearby large tree. Lu Zhenqing only felt his soul lighten instantly, and when he opened his eyes again, he actually saw his own body!!! Lu Zhenqing panicked, looking down, realizing he had turned into the large tree Xia Mian pointed at! Xia Mian slowly approached the large tree, "Now, tell me, is it serious?" Lu Zhenqing wanted to speak but having become a tree, found he couldn’t utter a word! Lu Zhenqing was panicking, shaking himself, managing only to rustle the tree leaves. He believed it, truly believed it now, his daughter-in-law’s Taoist Techniques were far superior to his cheap former father-in-law! Xia Mian waved her hand; Lu Zhenqing’s mind spun blank, and upon reopening his eyes, he was back in his own body. After personally experiencing this bizarre occurrence, how could Lu Zhenqing dare doubt Xia Mian’s words at all? While he wanted to save Shen Man, if the cost of saving her meant sacrificing Lu Zechuan’s life, he would have to think seriously about it!
