After being forced into marriage, the metaphysical master became the darling of the richest family.

Chapter 343

Shi Wenfu stared in shock at the scene before him. "What is this thing? And why are you at the core of the formation?!"

When Shao Nian met the man's surprised expression, the smile on his lips became increasingly bitter.

He glanced down at the gathering Yin energy beneath his feet, the glimmer of hope in his eyes fading. "This is the gathering of Yin and transforming it into spiritual energy. Once all the Yin energy enters my body, that person can then subdue me and transform it into spiritual energy, giving them a chance to ascend to heaven in one fell swoop."

Ascend to heaven!

Shi Wenfu immediately understood the meaning behind his words, his incredulous gaze fixed on the formation in front of him, trying to gather spiritual energy to send a message to the outside world.

“It’s no use, he…” Shao Nian’s voice trailed off as he looked across at the other side in terror.

Shi Wenfu sensed the presence of a third person, turned around abruptly, and met a sinister and cunning face.

"As expected of the Shi family in the capital, even with such a high dosage, you still woke up earlier than I estimated. But even if you wake up, it won't affect anything."

Xu Zhou was dressed casually, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and his skin even had a greasy sheen due to his obesity.

It looks disgusting!

"You know who I am!" Shi Wenfu's face darkened, a strange feeling creeping into his heart.

Xu Zhou's lips curled into a strange smile, the reflection in his glasses obscuring his expression. "Of course I know. You are the bait for my ascension to godhood. The spiritual energy within you can help me complete the final ritual!"

Shi Wenfu stared wide-eyed as the man's large hand came hurtling towards him.

As he was thrown into the formation, his whole body felt as if it were being burned by raging fire, and the pain made him tremble.

This is because a large amount of Yin energy rushed into his body, and his spiritual energy was uncontrollably transformed into bait to maintain the formation!

"You...you deserve to die!"

Hearing his words, Xu Zhou sneered contemptuously. The moment he reached out and took off his glasses, he transformed into an old man in his fifties or sixties, with white hair and dark circles under his eyes, clearly on the verge of death.

"That means you'll die before me. But now a few rats have broken into this building. By the time I've dealt with them and come back, the formation will be complete. Even if they have other methods, at most they can only spare your life!"

As Shi Wenfu watched the man leave, he tried to twist his body and sit up.

But he found countless hands gripping him tightly, clinging to the formation.

"Mortals always want to ascend to heaven in one step, believing that they can live forever after ascending to heaven. That's why some people study all sorts of crooked and evil things. It's really laughable."

Shao Nian's sarcastic voice rang out, and when he met Shi Wenfu's gaze, his smile widened, "You might not believe it, but that person was my grandfather."

Shi Wenfu was shocked once again, and couldn't help but curse that person's ancestors for eighteen generations!

Now that he can't move, he can only hope that the rats the man was talking about are An Jiuxi and the others.

After leaving the secret room, Xu Zhou noticed that someone was loitering in the gallery.

Remembering what the little girl had told him earlier, he immediately activated the Yin Soul Array to trap the group and buy time.

An Yuwei naturally noticed Xu Zhou's movement and pressed down on the wall as if unintentionally.

"what is this?"

By the time the group tried to stop them, it was too late!

"Cough cough cough."

An Jiuxi opened her eyes, and in front of her was still the same gallery, the only difference being that this time she was alone.

"Teacher Si? Bai Pu?"

She called out ahead, but no one responded.

After taking a few steps forward, fog began to spread all around, and the temperature dropped rapidly, giving me goosebumps!

"Xixi, come here to Mommy."
