Soul Trigger

Chapter 528 Control

Ji Li looked at the shrine, thought for a moment, then walked over to help Verdan up and straightened the spirit tablet that was not properly placed:
"Did you notice the candles?"

The candles that Ji Li was talking about were red. They surrounded the entire room and were also on the shrine.

The candles were all extinguished, of varying heights, but all surrounded the shrine.

Ji Li and Weldan took a few steps back. He raised his hand and snapped his fingers. The rainbow-colored spiritual essence spread in all directions. The insane fire properties contained in it easily ignited the candles.

As Ji Li interrupted the ritual, the spiritual essence in it began to dissipate rapidly as the source was severed.

First the color changed from iridescent to a yellowish color with crazy radiant properties, and then it degraded to the normal color flame produced by the candle and the wick itself as fuel.

The candlelight cast a bright yellow hue all around, casting the two people's shadows onto the wall without any abnormality.

After waiting for a few seconds, Weldan's heart relaxed a little. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the candlelight in front of him move without wind, and the shadows around him began to shake wildly.

The next moment, with the sound of something suddenly burning, the small yellow flames instantly turned scarlet.

Then the spirit tablet fell down again, and surrounded by scarlet flames above the shrine, scarlet flames also ignited deep in the shrine.

Compared to the surrounding red candle flames, the flame looked more chaotic and deeper.

Sensing the changing spiritual environment in the air, Ji Li and Weldan looked at each other:
"What is this?"

The latter was also stunned. He did not expect that Li Jiangxing actually set up a secret ritual in such a sensitive and dangerous place.

But he quickly used his professionalism to confirm the existence of this thing:

"It's an ectoplasm circuit used as a trigger."

The so-called triggered spiritual circuit means that the spiritual circuit itself does not have any function, but it can trigger another spiritual circuit connected to it.

One of the functions of this thing is to set up a secret room for use right now.

But what can this chaos core trigger?

Just as Ji Li was thinking about approaching the shrine again, the flames around him suddenly flickered and turned into a deep black and red.

The chaos core in the center of the shrine quickly turned into the same color, and inky black threads emerged around it, pulling it tightly.

The transformed spiritual environment was also replaced by a trace of the aura of a resentful dragon. Verdan was startled:
"Custodes!"

"Force?"

In response to Ji Li's doubts, Weldan said that this was the technique of the Imperial Guards.

As one of the core forces of the Forbidden City, the Imperial Guards possess the spirit of resentful dragons and cannot return to normal human form. They can only move around in dragon form.

This kind of aura, mixed with a hint of chaos, is black and red in color, and has an obvious aura of a resentful dragon. It is the aura of the Imperial Guards.

After listening to Verdan's explanation, Ji Li sensed it and found that it was indeed highly similar to the fluctuations emitted by the Imperial Guards.

It seemed that the fear of the unknown was dispelled. Verdan stepped forward quickly and directly touched the spirit of the imperial guard, but his hand was bounced away as if it had been electrocuted:

"Sure enough... this is the forbidden spell of the Imperial Guards, a kind of spiritual spell that seals the soul."

Obvious suspicion and disappointment flashed across his face, because it was obviously impossible for Li Jiangxing to set up the Imperial Guards' technique here, so there was only one explanation for the current situation:
"The Imperial Guards knew that this place had the spell arranged by Li Jiangxing, but they secretly sealed it up and directly took over the Red Heart Laboratory." Ji Li said meaningfully:

"Do you think it's possible that they're trying to cover up something?"

"I... don't know." Verdan's eyes flickered, and there was already an unwilling retreat in his eyes. I don't know when his tense shoulders suddenly relaxed:
"We can't go any further. The Imperial Guards must have a reason for blocking this place..."

"Why? The secret is right in front of you, and you still want to leave it behind?"

When Verdan saw Ji Li's gaze, his pupils trembled:
"Your Highness..."

If you touch things that are sealed by the Imperial Guards, that means you are touching things that are sealed by the royal family. In the old Tang Dynasty, that would be considered treason!

But Verdan obviously didn't want to give up.

He came here to find out the truth behind Li Jiangxing's loss of control. The truth was about to be revealed:

"But the Imperial Guards have cast a sealing spell on it. If you touch it rashly..."

Verdan's words were stuck instantly -

Because Ji Li had already torn off a black talisman from the shrine.

"Your Highness?!"

The flames around him turned scarlet again. Verdan rushed forward and watched as the burning black and red spell in Ji Li's hand gradually calmed down. His face was filled with shock.
"You tore it off?!"

"Yes."

"How did you tear it...?"

Ji Li looked at him strangely:
"Just tear it apart."

Then he reached his hand into the shrine:
"Then I'll put it back and demonstrate it to you?"

"Don't……"

Before Weldan finished his words, Ji Li had already stuck back, and the scarlet flames turned back into black and red.

Weldan was speechless, and Ji Li tore it again, and the flame turned scarlet again.

Now he was completely stuck where he was, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

"what happened?"

"...Weren't you bounced away?"

"No."

Ji Li raised his arm, and a flash of rainbow spiritual essence appeared, releasing a bit of the aura of a resentful dragon.

As a spiritual ritual, this thing should not be easy to deal with. As for the reason why Ji Li was able to tear it off, he thought of the behavior of the Imperial Guards saluting him at the conference before the singularity incident.

After putting the talisman in his hand into the space prop, Ji Li looked at Verdan. After the two of them waited in place for a few seconds, they did not sense any breath of the Imperial Guards coming from outside.

In other words, Ji Li did successfully tear off the Imperial Guards' talisman that carried the spiritual spell, and did not attract the Imperial Guards.

Seeing this, Weldan no longer hesitated, his eyes were fierce:
No matter what, since he has His Highness with him, what is there for him to be afraid of? If he gives up now, then there will be no result behind Li Jiangxing's loss of control.

He walked to the shrine:
"In that case...let me do this."

He looked at the chaotic mass of unknown spiritual substances.

If one does not know what consequences will be caused by triggering this thing, then the person who triggers it will definitely bear the corresponding risks.

"You have already risked your life to tear off the Imperial Guard's spell. Leave the risk behind this thing to me..."

Verdan's eyes flickered, he took a deep breath, and with Ji Li's tacit consent, reached out to touch the spiritual circuit.

But his hand was suddenly grabbed by Ji Li:
"No, I'll do it."

The future three seconds later was appearing in Ji Li's eyes. He decisively stopped Vildan's actions and grabbed the chaos core.

In an instant, Ji Li felt his spiritual essence spreading along the core to the entire Red Heart Laboratory, every space, and every corner.

The pulse of Dragon Prison and the Tomb can also be clearly felt.

The entire Red Heart Laboratory began to vibrate faintly, and a heart-beating sound suddenly echoed in the ears of the two.

Verdan was horrified:
"What exactly is this?!"

Ji Li turned his head and smiled:

"It's the control of Red Heart Laboratory."

"It also means... the control of the core area where the Dragon Prison and the Great Tomb meet."
