My Seven Sisters Are Stunningly Beautiful (The Return of the Gods)

Chu Tiange stood up slowly, with his hands behind his back and a deep look in his eyes.

He spoke softly, with an unnoticeable seriousness in his words: "Senior Lu, do you mind if I observe your own Dantian to see if there is anything unusual?"

Hearing this, Lu Yun frowned slightly and gently stroked his chin with his slender fingers. Although he was confused, his years of experience had taught him to remain calm.

He nodded slightly, his tone calm but with a hint of curiosity: "Oh? Interesting, has City Lord Chu discovered some incredible secret? I will give it a try."

As Lu Yun closed his eyes and concentrated, the spiritual power in his body surged and a faint glow appeared around his body, like the purest light between heaven and earth.

His mind moved, and he looked inward at his Dantian, which was a spiritual world as vast as the sea of ​​stars. But at this moment, an abrupt gray mist appeared silently in that brilliance, seeming out of place.

"Huh?" Lu Yun's heart was shocked and a look of surprise flashed across his face.

He tried to mobilize the power of laws in his body to drive away the gray color like dispersing clouds, but it was as if he had touched the void. The power of laws and spiritual power were like a drop in the ocean, with no reaction at all.

Lu Yun's face changed slightly, and he suddenly opened his eyes, staring at Chu Tiange with a sharp gaze: "What is this? Why is it in my Dantian?"

Seeing this, Chu Tiange looked solemn and slowly walked towards Lu Yun.

"Senior Lu, this is the Blood Moon Hall's method. As far as I know, all the people in the Blood Moon Hall above the level of Hall Master have a special spell planted in their bodies by their chief leader."

"Once they are killed by outsiders, a gray mist will appear in their bodies as a sign of death, and..."

Chu Tiange paused here, as if weighing whether to say the next words.

"And what?" Lu Yun asked, with some impatience in his tone. Obviously, this unknown threat made him feel uncomfortable.

"Moreover, the size of this gray fog is proportional to the number of kills committed by the victim in his lifetime. The more kills a person has, the larger the gray fog will be, and it will have a certain impact on the monk who possesses it."

"It makes a person fall into an endless desire for killing, and finally he is collected by the Blood Moon Hall and becomes a killing machine."

Chu Tiange spoke bluntly, his tone full of disdain for the Blood Moon Hall's methods.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yun clenched his fists involuntarily, and a dark cloud gathered between his brows. That was the storm deep in his heart.

"I see. The Blood Moon Hall really does use every possible means. But why can't this gray fog be dispelled?"

Chu Tiange sighed and said, "As far as I know, this spell originates from an ancient restriction that is bound to the soul of the person being cast. Unless a method is found to remove the restriction, even a quasi-saint cannot easily get rid of it."

"As long as one's cultivation level does not exceed that of the Blood Moon Hall's Chief Patriarch, this gray fog will always exist. The Blood Moon Hall's Chief Patriarch is a powerful person at the Saint level. There are only a handful of people in the entire Jiuzhou Continent who have a cultivation level higher than him."

Lu Yun was silent. He closed his eyes and looked inward at his dantian again. The gray mist was like an ominous object, floating there quietly, exuding endless murderous aura.

"City Lord Chu, since you know about this, you must have a solution, right?" Lu Yun's voice sounded calm, but there was a sense of urgency hidden in it that could not be ignored.

Chu Tiange nodded and pulled out an ancient booklet from his sleeve. The cover was engraved with complex runes, exuding mystery.

"This is an ancient book that has been passed down from generation to generation in my Ming City. It records many ancient secrets. It may contain clues about lifting this restriction, but it will take time to study."

Lu Yun took the booklet and looked at it carefully. The runes on the cover seemed to be pulsating slightly as if they had life.

Looking at the booklet in his hand, Lu Yun raised his head and said to Chu Tiange, "This booklet is not free, what exactly do you need me to do? City Lord Chu, why don't you just tell me directly!"

Chu Yunge's face was solemn, as if a heavy burden was pressing on his brows. He spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful: "Senior Lu, the matter here is probably more complicated than you think."

"Everyone in the Blood Moon Hall practices a secret technique that makes their eyes different and allows them to see things that ordinary people cannot see - that is the 'grey fog' that is faintly visible in your and my Dantian."

As he spoke, he used his fingers to emit spiritual power and draw in the air.

"Once they discover the gray mist on someone, it is equivalent to branding them with a mark of death. They will not rest until the marked person dies. And those who have been marked have not been able to escape this fate so far."

Hearing this, Lu Yun raised his eyebrows, with a hint of surprise and vigilance in his eyes: "Below the saint, we are all ants! The Blood Moon Hall has the combat power of the saint level, so it must be acting so arrogantly."

Chu Tiange nodded, his expression becoming more solemn: "Yes, the chief leader of the Blood Moon Hall is a saint. There are only a handful of such people in Jiuzhou."

"If they were to learn of the death of Hall Master Yin, and our Ming City has a close connection with the senior, the consequences would be disastrous."

He paused, a hint of pleading in his eyes, and continued, "What's more, Second Young Master Chu Yunxuan is on good terms with the senior. Once the Blood Moon Hall knows about this, they will first suspect our Chu family."

"By then, the wrath of the Blood Moon Hall will spread to the entire Ming City, and our Chu family will be doomed to eternal damnation."

Hearing this, Lu Yun smiled faintly, but his eyes flashed with coldness: "What does City Lord Chu mean?"

Chu Tiange took a step forward, clasped his hands together, and said with sincerity: "I hope you can act out a play with me."

Lu Yun raised his eyebrows, smiled, and asked, "How do we act in this scene?"

Chu Tiange took a deep breath, a look of determination flashed in his eyes. He slowly walked in front of Lu Yun and said in a deep voice: "Senior Lu, I have a plan that may allow our Chu family to completely draw a line with you and avoid the edge of the Blood Moon Hall."

Lu Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Chu Tiange with interest, and waited for his next words.

Chu Tiange pursed his lips, as if weighing every word that was about to come out.

"I hope that you, Senior Lu, can seriously injure me. Then, I will announce to the world that you, Senior Lu, secretly coerced the Second Young Master Chu Yunxuan and used him to help you achieve certain goals."

"And I, on the surface, pretended to be on good terms with you, but in fact, I wanted to rescue my son from your control. However, who would have thought that you would suddenly turn against me and kill me. After seriously injuring me, you used the power of the hand order to escape from here through the teleportation array of the Tianxing Palace."

"When the time comes, let them fight for the position of city lord. As long as my Chu family is not destroyed, that's all that matters."
