Chapter 299 - 54 Easy Breakthrough
Having obtained the item, Lu Hong couldn’t afford to delay. He directly sat cross-legged inside the girl’s room, clutching the pendant that still retained the girl’s body warmth, and tried to extract the power contained within.
No guidance was needed—the force of nothingness from within the pendant actively burrowed into Lu Hong’s body, launching an assault against the force of corruption that had taken root within him.
It seemed that the former Family Head of Raoxue Castle hadn’t been mistaken, this nothingness was indeed the nemesis of the seven sins’ corruptive force.
The reason Lu Hong had been unable to restore his strength was entirely because of the presence of the seven sins’ corrupting power within his body. It was harmless to his flesh but could constantly devour and consume magic power.
The force of nothingness effortlessly neutralized the residual corrupting force inside Lu Hong’s body, circulated through him to ensure nothing was missed, and then returned to the pendant.
Surprised, he opened his eyes. Was this force of nothingness so miraculous? It seemed to have its own consciousness. Although it had helped him resolve his problem, Lu Hong couldn’t help but feel a trace of fear. When magic power developed a consciousness, manipulating humans was not difficult.
Seeing Lu Hong open his eyes, the girl hurriedly asked, "Have you recovered?"
"Yes," Lu Hong stood up and handed the pendant back to the girl, "Do not trigger the power inside; it’s very terrifying."
"Oh, I got it." The girl carefully put away the necklace. If she had known that helping Lu Hong deal with the problem of the seven sins wouldn’t damage the necklace, she would have given it to Lu Hong earlier, sparing all the trouble.
Lu Hong glanced out the window, noting that it was no longer early—the night was deep, and the moon was obscured by darkness, making it an ideal time for murder.
