"Thank you for saving our lives, benefactor!"
Hou Chaosong and Xiang Shan kneeled down to express their gratitude.
Tie Dan took the skinning knife and scrutinized it closely, making some calculations.
Indeed, it was a Magic Artifact of the Divine Sect, designed quite ingeniously. The knife had raised Engraving Secret Talismans. When skinning, the blood would stamp the talisman onto the skin, completing the setup of the Sealing Soul Array.
Tie Dan pondered for a while and then said to the two of them,
"Report your birth date and time."
The two exchanged glances, but having been grateful for their savior's timely help, they dared not conceal and reported their dates.
Tie Dan calculated for them and found that the two had fate but no destiny together. Moreover, Xiang Shan had a short life and little luck. If he hadn't intervened, she would have died here, likely to be skinned and crafted into a lantern, made into a ghost slave.
