"Swearing an oath using this sacred talisman, it's actually a matter of life and death..."

Although the life force was only revealed for a brief moment, Han Jieliu still recognized it and was very surprised.

After all, with the small black bottle in hand and having come into contact with the talismanic energy, he was extremely familiar with this item.

"No wonder this thing can even restrain those at the Foundation Establishment stage. So that's its effect. That explains it."

Realizing this, Han Jieliu suddenly had some guesses.

Given the rank of this oath of life and death, it is naturally impossible to say that it contains any life force.

Since it is unrelated to it yet can affect one's life, it may be related to the means of making this vow, or even connected to something in the upper echelons of this world.

"An oath? A life? Is this some kind of technique used by a powerful cultivator...?"

Han Jieliu pondered for a moment, then remembered that he still had a Dao-entrusting oath talisman in his possession, which he could take another look at next time.

"what?"

But a commotion made Han Jieliu suddenly lower his head.

Just as that wisp of life force appeared in his soul, the small black bottle in his storage bag began to move.

After using the little black bottle, it seemed to connect with my mind easily, which was quite miraculous. Now, even in my storage bag, I can still sense it.

Han Jieliu remained expressionless, afraid that the three people beside him would notice.

His divine sense gently probed into the storage bag, secretly observing the small black bottle, wanting to know why such a change had occurred.

The small black bottle rippled slightly, as if it were doing something.

The bottle floated gently in the storage bag, its mouth slowly exhaling, but the sound was not as powerful as when it first absorbed spiritual energy, and was gently suppressed by Han Jieliu.

Then Han Jieliu suddenly felt a sense of relief, as if a thin rope binding his chest and abdomen had been suddenly pulled away, bringing a feeling of ease.

Looking slowly, he saw that the barely perceptible life force that had entered his soul because of the oath was actually brought out.

It turned into a wisp of gray thread, drifting in the air, which was very strange and could not be seen by others.

The gray line seemed to be alive, struggling and twitching, but it was suppressed by the position of the small black bottle and could not move. It immediately turned into a wisp of gray mist and was sucked into the small black bottle.

"Not bad, not bad... It can even absorb external life energy. Just how much more is hidden inside this bottle?"

Han Jieliu had been shocked by the methods of this little black bottle too many times, and had long since become numb to it, only thinking to himself.

If being "startled" could lead to enlightenment, perhaps I would have already ascended to the celestial realm and lived as long as the heavens.

Han Jieliu no longer dared to think about the origin of this little black bottle. Even if a fruit level suddenly appeared in the little black bottle next time, he probably wouldn't be surprised anymore.

Then he probed his divine sense into the small black bottle.

Han Jieliu saw that after the gray mist entered the bottle, it drifted aimlessly and immediately attached itself to the white talisman—[Body Yin Stained].

The originally somewhat weak aura suddenly became more solid, as if it had received some kind of nourishment.

"This talismanic energy and the gray thread are both life-giving energies... They share the same origin, and once they merge, they can elevate the grade of the talismanic energy."

"After being upgraded, this [Body Stained with Yin] is already stronger than the ordinary white talisman, but it still doesn't reach the level of the blue talisman."

Han Jieliu processed what he had learned, withdrew his consciousness from the small black bottle, and thought of something.

"The life force connected to this oath of entrusting life to the Dao has disappeared. Does that mean that this oath is no longer useful to me?"

Realizing this, Han Jieliu immediately had the idea of ​​attacking Xu Yiyi, but there was no reaction whatsoever.

He gently condensed a "Vast Water Condensed Light" in his hand, and after assuming a fighting stance, there was still no backlash from his body.

This situation finally convinced Han Jieliu that the oath of life and death had been broken.

"Being able to absorb life force, it seems that such oaths can no longer restrain him. He has really found a loophole."

"I was just confused, but now it seems there's a way to obtain those few strands of [Pingze Stagnant Qi]..."

Xu Yiyi, who was making a blood oath nearby, suddenly had a bad feeling.

Xu Yiyi turned his head and saw Han Jieliu, dressed in blue, smiling kindly at him.

Looking at Han Jieliu's smile, she suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and thought to herself.

"This Dao-Exhausting Life-Entrusting Oath Talisman is quite powerful; it can even restrain those at the Foundation Establishment stage. It's probably unlike Soul Oaths, which have tricks to avoid such situations."

"They are all at the early stage of Qi Refining. Since they have made this agreement, Han Lili probably doesn't have any other tricks up his sleeve, which is why he is showing goodwill."

She returned Han Jieliu's smile, then lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought.

He Zhushan, standing beside Xu Yiyi, remained silent, as still and sullen as a boulder.

These two are quite well-matched in personality; one is incredibly charming and cunning, the other as stoic as a rock—no wonder they became husband and wife…

Han Jieliu stopped looking and saw Li Mingjin launch a small boat, white and bright as jade, floating gently in the air.

As the head of Hushan City, Li Mingjin was quite wealthy, possessing not only all the magical artifacts but also this generation of spirit boats.

He spoke slowly.

"Please board the boat, everyone. The demon's palace is still some distance from here. Please conserve your magical power so you don't run out of strength when breaking the formation..."

Seeing this, the group boarded the boat, which Li Mingjin then infused with his magic, propelling it deeper into Guanglu Lake.

······

Just a short while after Han Jieliu and the others left.

A figure in pure white suddenly appeared in the sky above Guanglu Lake.

Neither east nor west, neither south nor north, this person appeared as if suddenly emerging from the void.

The wind on Guanglu Lake didn't stop, and the rising water vapor passed through his wide sleeves, as if even heaven and earth didn't notice his presence.

The person's face was hidden in the vast white mist, and not just his face.

Even his body seemed to float in a steaming, misty sky, completely invisible.

The man lowered his eyes, gazing at the vast lake below, and said softly.

"A life has been lost... Who took it..."

He gently raised his sleeve, and the lake water below seemed to come alive, surging up and trying to condense into a human shape.

But just as the humanoid figure's legs began to take shape, it suddenly shattered and fell back to the ground, leaving the figure silent.

"Someone doesn't want me to know, so be it, it's just a matter of life and death... The people from [Feng Si] won't arrive for some time, I'll just add it myself."

"Judging by the time, it should be the day when Ting Zigong prepares to unleash demons into the prefecture. We can't stay in Linjiang Prefecture any longer."

"That old fellow in the Thunder Palace wanted to take the image of the Demon of Revolution and kill and cultivate his supernatural power [Prison Break]. Perhaps his life was taken by some lucky person below."

The figure didn't linger after speaking; with a gentle wave of its sleeve, it vanished into the void.

The lake returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
