Ningyan grabbed Su Mian, managing to pull her hand away from her forehead. Instantly, his expression changed.
That seal.
The same seal from the other night.
The seal he had been certain he destroyed was glowing brightly on her forehead once more.
Ningyan gritted his teeth. "This can't be happening."
He pressed his palm against her forehead, his eyes igniting with a vivid purple glow as he tried to remove it, but it seemed the blue moon was strengthening the seal instead.
His spiritual energy eased her pain slightly, but it was nowhere near enough.
Su Mian cried and wailed in agony, her entire body trembling violently, and the sound was enough to draw Yan Wuhen and the other two children over immediately.
"What is happening?" Wuhen asked.
"I will take care of it." Ningyan quickly carried Su Mian into the house, laying her carefully on the bed before focusing all his power on cleansing the seal, but moments later, Su Mian suddenly passed out.
And still, the seal remained.
