An Oath Under the Heavens
Hou Jingshu had finally decided to see Lì Liàng. Wu Jian and Yōuměi had, of course, decided to accompany her. They didn’t think the man would do something. He had been surprisingly obedient these days, ever since the war ended, but that didn’t mean Wu Jian wanted her alone with him either. It was when people let their guards down that they suffered the most.
Lì Liàng’s wounds had been healed thanks to the power of alchemy, though his cultivation had been sealed. Wrapped around his arms, ankles, and neck were several metal bands with sealing arrays on them. They were called Chi Sealing Chains. The name made their purpose self-explanatory, but of course, like most things, these couldn’t completely seal off a person’s chi. It merely hampered their abilities. It could also be overpowered if someone poured more chi into it than it could contain. Only the highest quality items could completely seal of chi.
