Chapter 273- Something Drastic

“Their deaths will be on your hands if you go any further than this brother Shen. Just help me perfect this formula and I’ll release them. I won't have to use this method again as well, potentially saving more lives in the future.”

What Lihua had sensed was Li Shen being held captive to do Xian’s bidding.

“I know you’ve contacted the Celestial Academy so they could be here at any moment. I think you’ve stalled enough, tell me how to form the connection.”

Li Shen’s eyes narrowed for a brief moment before he released Xian’s neck.

“The Four Rune Transmutation Principles.”

Li Shen said simply after a while.

Xian upon hearing that had his eyes flicker with thought.

“Of course!”

He suddenly exclaimed in excitement.

“Why didn’t I think of this before? If I could use the Four Principles of Rune Transmutation I could restore the Soul and Core rune inscriptions to match the physique rune without losing or reducing their function.”

What a breakthrough!
