Chapter 539 Immobilization
Mengyu hurriedly tried to contact her space, but found that the connection had been severed.
She cursed herself for being too careless, thinking that as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, she had overlooked this powerless alien.
Indeed, trouble had arisen, hadn’t it?
Her mind forced calmness as she thought about ways to escape, but her face showed great alarm: “Old man, what are you trying to do?”
“Ha-ha-ha, you’ve eschewed the path to heaven, and now you find yourself at the gateless entrance to hell. You’ve delivered yourself to my doorstep, you can’t blame me, Old Bang.”
“Ha-ha, my daughter has taken a bit too much poison, and her body is beyond repair. I was just thinking of finding her a good body to use, and lo and behold, you come offering your own.
This must be destiny, to actually deliver a body trained in physical magic arts. Truly, misfortune leans on fortune. Fengfeng obtaining your body will see my efforts were not in vain.”
A shock went through Mengyu’s heart: So it was his bow just now that rendered me immobile?
She couldn’t help but become intrigued by the old man’s spell. It was not a technique that sealed acupoints, yet it was able to immobilize someone; was this an immobilization technique?
As Old Bang spoke, he carried the immobile Mengyu to the bed and laid her down beside Bai Renfeng.
He then drank down a bottle of liquid, and his originally pale complexion instantly flushed with health.
After that, he began to chant and perform a ritual. This time, his actions were grandiose, involving banging on a small drum and performing a dance.
Was he really trying to exchange souls between her and Bai Renfeng?
Mengyu found this amusing. If it were a regular mortal, perhaps he could have his way. He knew she was a physical magic arts practitioner, but he didn’t realize she was also a Cultivator, with a powerful soul.
She began to focus her Divine Sense that had left the body; it could not break the immobilization charm, but she wasn’t in a rush. She wanted to see how this old man planned to exchange their bodies.
The father and daughter truly deserved each other; Bai Renfeng had lived with Ah Mei in her disciple’s home for years, intending to swap the fates of Ah Mei and Wang Huilan.
And now, this old man had placed her alongside Bai Renfeng, intending to exchange their bodies.
However, the amused Mengyu suddenly realized that as the old man kept beating the drum, her soul began feeling an urge to leave her body.
She was taken aback: could the soul of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator really be swapped away by a mere mortal?
No, she couldn’t just watch this unfold; she had to free herself first.
Though she was physically unable to move, the Divine Sense she had previously sent out was still active.
Fortunately, since she had followed clandestinely, she had a substantial amount of Divine Sense spread out, which she could still command.
She began to retract the Divine Sense, not back into her Sea of Consciousness, but scanned her entire body to find the cause of her immobility.
Suddenly, she discovered a talisman on her foot.
Now she understood. When the old man bowed earlier, she had stepped aside, but that was only to change direction; they were still in close proximity, unbeknownst to her, when he slapped the talisman paper onto her foot.
This talisman emitted a strange array of energy, which enveloped the brain area, obstructing the transmission of information, meaning it was blocking the brain’s commands to the body.
Naturally, it also cut off the use of spiritual power within her body. Her space had already moved into her Dantian, and hence was also blocked. That’s why she couldn’t connect to it.
She realized the talisman’s main function was to trap the command center with an energy, preventing her from controlling her body.
That this talisman could affect a Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage was truly formidable.
Her Divine Sense reached for the ring on her hand, but she found that she was still able to make contact with the space within the ring. She breathed a sigh of relief.
Yes, this was one of the legendary immobilization charms.
The Divine Sense inside couldn’t get out, but it could push outwards, and the Divine Sense outside could rush in.
It felt as if the obstructing energy had some consciousness and actually strengthened at the spot where she clashed with it.
Moreover, as the drumbeats grew faster and denser, the sensation of her soul wanting to fly away intensified.
This old man’s magic was indeed formidable!
