His mutterings faded away.
Shen Feng glanced at Lu Wansheng and the others, saying, "You all retreat and wait three ters away."
Upon hearing this,
Lu Wansheng and his companions imdiately stepped back more than three ters; naturally, they complied without question to the words of the Carefree Immortal Emperor.
Shen Feng sensed that these people had all stepped back, then his right palm pressed onto the rectangular Life-Locking Stone.
To utilize the Life-Locking Stone to lock away one's life-force, it was imperative to establish a kind of link with the stone, put simply, to make the Life-Locking Stone beco a part of one's body.
Thereafter, one's own blood must be dripped into the Life-Locking Stone, and after waiting for forty-nine days, one's Spiritual Energy must continuously be poured into the stone.
Until the entirety of the Life-Locking Stone bursts forth with extre cold.
This extre cold is incomparable to the cold air pervading the atmosphere at present.
One could say that this degree of cold, if touched by a Cultivator at the Sea Transformation Stage, would instantly reduce their body to ice, leaving no chance of survival.
This cold would directly surge into the body of the initiator, but because of the established connection between the initiator and the Life-Locking Stone, this intense cold would not harm the initiator. Instead, after entering the initiator's body, it would seal all sorts of bodily functions in a special way.
Once a connection has been established between the initiator and the Life-Locking Stone, if any issues arise with the stone, the sleeping initiator would also suffer severe consequences.
Therefore, it is difficult for cultivators whose life-force has been locked away by a Life-Locking Stone to be awoken again, as the cold that has entered the initiator's body over the years has thoroughly intermingled with their internal organs, becoming integrated with them.
Waking them requires painstakingly peeling away this cold bit by bit, with no techniques being used to directly evaporate it.
After all, this ultimate cold cos from the Life-Locking Stone, and if allowed to dissipate directly, it is feared that the initiator would instantly perish.
It can only be stripped away and then extracted from the initiator's body, allowing this cold to return to the Life-Locking Stone.
Lu Xiangfu has been asleep for so long now; the ultimate cold that surged into his body at the start has not only beco highly sticky with his internal organs but has also firmly adhered to every single cell within them.
Under such circumstances,
Even a typical Immortal Emperor might struggle to delicately peel away all the cold, simply because there are too many cells within the body, and any remnant of coldness left behind would put the sleeping cultivator in extre danger.
Moreover, since this cold has essentially taken root atop each cell, forceful stripping would unquestionably lead to rapid decline in the functions of the sleeper's internal organs.
And once the peeling of the ultimate cold within the body has begun, it is best to complete the process within half an hour; otherwise, even if the stripping is eventually completed, it will still bring irreversible sequelae to the initiator.
After assessing the situation inside the Life-Locking Stone, Shen Feng then placed his palm on the body of Lu Xiangfu, took a slow and deep breath, and after exhaling slowly, he prepared to begin peeling away the ultimate cold within Lu Xiangfu's body.
His aura erupted in an instant, and the Spiritual Energy within his body surged towards his palm: "Silkworm Stripping Hand!"
From within the palm, strands of Spiritual Energy as fine as silk threads quickly condensed.
Countless strands of Spiritual Energy rapidly infiltrated Lu Xiangfu's body, imdiately concentrating on the coldness tightly bound to every cell.
This surge of Spiritual Energy swiftly wrapped around the coldness at each cell, gently stripping away the deeply-rooted coldness.
Once entwined, the coldness began to loosen on its own accord.
The Silkworm Stripping Hand was derived from the Spirit Chef inheritance he had acquired, which was particularly designed to strip cells from the bodies of Monster Beasts, especially effective on beasts with ice attributes.
After all, as the cultivation of Monster Beasts grew higher, the cells in their bodies beca stronger, and so cells even had the function of altering genes.
If a cultivator were to consu these kinds of cells, then over ti their appearance would beco neither human nor beast. Generally speaking, which cultivator would be willing to let themselves beco such a sight.
Though the Silkworm Stripping Hand was used to deal with the mutated cells inside so powerful Monster Beasts, now it couldn't be more suitable for use on Lu Xiangfu.
Ti ticked away by the second.
After ten minutes.
The gazes of Lu Wansheng and the others were fixed on Shen Feng, watching his extrely serious expression, they didn't even dare to breathe too heavily.
At that mont.
Lu Guangwen's ssage-transmitting Jade Tablet on his body suddenly started flashing non-stop. After frowning for a mont, he decided to sense the ssage within, and his complexion imdiately underwent a drastic change. He used Sound Transmission to speak to Lu Wansheng, "Father, so complications have erged within the City Lord's Mansion, I need to go handle them now."
Lu Wansheng seed to guess what the complication was! He waved his hand and said, "Go and return quickly, the ancestor should not take much ti to be awakened."
Lu Guangwen nodded and his figure dashed towards the exit of the stone chamber.
As he left the stone chamber.
The entire City Lord's Mansion was in utter chaos now, with people continuously hurrying out of the mansion.
At the front gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
Two solemn-looking old n were ceaselessly trying to persuade the people of the City Lord's Mansion to stay.
One of them, a slightly taller elder nad Lu Yixiang, was the Great Elder of the City Lord's Mansion with Cultivation at the Initial Stage of Nascent Variation; the other, a sowhat chubby elder nad Lu Yuanhong, was the Second Elder of the City Lord's Mansion with Cultivation at the level of Half-Step Nascent Variation.
The incident that had happened at Cui Mansion had now totally spread throughout Spirit Water City.
The murder of the Eighteenth Prince of Illusory Fla Kingdom was no trivial matter. The people inside the City Lord's Mansion, including many direct and collateral mbers of the Lu Family, all believed that Lu Wansheng and the others were insane, to actually show bias towards a murderer and even confront the Third Prince. It was feared that the powerful experts from Illusory Fla Kingdom would soon arrive.
With so people taking the lead in wanting to leave the City Lord's Mansion, this whirlwind of retreat continued to spread, resulting in more and more people wishing to leave.
Now, only Lu Yixiang and Lu Yuanhong remained determined to stay; they wanted to share weal and woe with the City Lord's Mansion, with the Lu Family.
"Great Elder, it's not that we want to betray the Lu Family, but the Lu Family is bound to be destroyed this ti. Lu Wansheng and the others are pushing the entire Lu Family towards doom, what reason do we have to stay and await death with them?"
"Exactly, Great Elder, Second Elder, you should hurry and leave too! Surely you don't think that after the experts from Illusory Fla Kingdom arrive, Lu Wansheng and his people could still protect the Lu Family and the City Lord's Mansion, right?"
...
Just as the saying goes, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter!
The big tree hadn't completely fallen yet, and these people were already impatient to disperse. In their eyes, staying only ant one thing: a dead end.
Hearing the words of the people around them.
Lu Yixiang and Lu Yuanhong let out a deep sigh. They no longer tried to stop these people from leaving, with Lu Yixiang waving his hand and saying, "All of you go!"
"I and the Second Elder will stay and share life and death with the Lu Family!"
