Ch 132: The Curse Comes True

“This seat’s soul is immortal and indestructible. Perhaps soon, this seat will have another battle with you! At that time, with the 12 seals gathered, this seat’s power will surpass its peak!”

Qiang Liu’s eyes were full of a grimacing expression.

“At that time… will you still be able to fight this seat?”

“Right now, in the eyes of mortals, you may be as powerful as a god, but in this seat’s eyes, you are nothing more than a half-baked kid.”

“Your Thunder Method has reached its peak, hasn’t it?”

“However, reaching the peak of the Thunder Method is not the endpoint. After reaching the peak, there is a higher level—the Apex Realm.”

“Reaching the Apex Realm, that is the ultimate end of the art! Etched into the soul!”

A wisp of a faint candle ignited in Qiang Liu’s hand: “For example, this seat’s Fire Method, when practiced to the Apex Realm, this faint candle will accompany this seat’s soul for life and life!”

“Hopefully, before this seat recovers all its power, you can reach the Apex Realm!”

“At that time, there will inevitably be a battle between us.”

After finishing, Qiang Liu’s red pupils quickly faded, turning into black pupils, signifying that Qiang Liu’s consciousness had retreated.

At that moment, Nan Liu showed signs of fatigue and fainted.

Nan Liu’s body “plop” fell into the sea. Because he had fainted, he did not struggle.

Zhang Buran picked up Nan Liu.

Looking at the body that had just fought him, Zhang Buran couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions.

“You, I’m afraid you won’t have peace in the future!”

After all, Nan Liu is innocent.

But Qiang Liu inside Nan Liu… according to the Daoist Alliance’s style, they certainly won’t let him live.

That group of cowardly old conservatives in the Daoist Alliance’s upper echelons, their thoughts are too feudal… I don’t know how they will deal with Nan Liu.

Most likely, they will eliminate him quickly.

Qiang Liu is too great a threat to humanity!

Nan Liu is, after all, just an ordinary person who has never even come into contact with Daoist Arts.

Nan Liu’s chest is charred black, but he still has breathing and a heartbeat.

Zhang Buran originally wanted to use Spiritual Power to treat Nan Liu, but all the wounds on Nan Liu’s body were rapidly healing at a visible speed.

Nan Liu’s physique is no longer within the category of ordinary people.

Nan Liu could have lived a peaceful life as an ordinary person.

But with Qiang Liu’s awakening, Nan Liu’s life trajectory will inevitably undergo a huge irreversible change.

……

Xia Yun and Su Zili came to the Wang Family Villa.

Everyone is currently safe and sound, only having fainted. However, Xia Yun frowned, staring at the only female corpse present.

This female corpse’s chest was pierced, and blood flowed all over the ground.

It was Bai Wangshu.

“Cold.”

Xia Yun reluctantly looked up, looking at the many powerful figures who had fainted on the scene, only feeling a headache.

“Everyone… has been cursed.”

Su Zili also felt very difficult, conjuring four small green birds, jumping onto a person, pecking at the cursed aura on that person, but was bounced away.

“This curse… is very strong.”

“It can’t be removed for a while.”

Xia Yun bent down and touched a person’s body.

“They all ate Gray Robe Mushrooms. From eating the Gray Robe Mushrooms to the Deathly Calamity Ghost unleashing the Ghost Domain curse, the Gray Robe Mushrooms acted as the catalyst for the curse, giving it enough time to erode their bodies. Therefore, this curse is deeply rooted and extremely difficult to remove.”

Su Zili clenched her fists, angrily saying: “Damn Wu Zhuogong, let him escape!”

“No, Wu Zhuogong didn’t escape, he’s dead.”

Xia Yun said: “I sensed the same Rat Seal aura from Qiang Liu as Wu Zhuogong’s.”

“So, Qiang Liu should have taken back the Rat Seal. The easiest way to seize the Rat Seal is to swallow the heart. Wu Zhuogong’s heart was most likely taken out, and he should be dead.”

“Evil people get what they deserve!”

“But… can Zhang Buran really defeat Qiang Liu?”

Su Zili’s heart was uneasy. From the beginning, she had been worried about Zhang Buran.

If it were other opponents, Su Zili would be a thousand times at ease.

But this opponent was Qiang Liu, the strongest wicked way from a thousand years ago!

“He can’t win.” Xia Yun said calmly.

“Ah, how can that be? Zhang Buran is clearly so strong!” The worry on Su Zili’s face deepened.

Because even Xia Yun, who knows Zhang Buran best, said so.

“I mean Qiang Liu can’t win.” Xia Yun slowly added.

Su Zili: “……”

“You seem… very worried about Zhang Buran?”

Xia Yun looked into Su Zili’s worried eyes and softly asked: “Actually, I want to ask you a question… why do you like Zhang Buran?”

“Ah?”

Su Zili was caught off guard by the sudden question, a trace of panic flashed across her face, and she didn’t know how to answer for a moment.

“I can’t say I like him, I just have a good feeling towards him. Maybe it’s… it should be that time…” Su Zili blushed suddenly, stammering.

“Which time?”

“It was that time… when we were still students, on a mission, he saved me…”

Su Zili blushed even more.

Really… why ask these things now?

So shy…

“Oh! I understand, hero saves the beauty, right? Then you secretly fell for Zhang Buran.” Xia Yun had a mysterious smile.

“Xia Yun, why are you asking this!” Su Zili said, pretending to be angry.

Xia Yun suddenly changed the subject, a hint of loneliness flashing in her expression: “Secret love… is tiring, isn’t it?”

“It’s tiring, and you have to be careful, not daring to reveal your feelings… Actually, it can’t be said to be a heart-wrenching love, but the emotion that grows in your heart doesn’t fade with time, but becomes stronger.”

Su Zili also admitted frankly.

At this point, there’s nothing to hide.

It’s okay to have a secret crush, it’s not something shameful.

Who doesn’t have one or two people they’ve had a secret crush on?

Su Zili suddenly had an idea. The woman who has been with Zhang Buran the longest is Xia Yun, who is beside her.

And the two of them have an incredible understanding, they’ve become like brothers.

Looking at Xia Yun, Su Zili asked seriously:

“Xia Yun, could it be that you also…?”

“Who knows?”

Suddenly, Zhang Buran’s unprepared voice came from behind:

“Hey, what are you two whispering about?”

“Damn!” Su Zili was startled: “When did you get behind us!”

“Just now… damn…”

Zhang Buran was about to speak when Xia Yun ruthlessly hit him in the stomach with an elbow…

Xia Yun: （?°?д°?）

Zhang Buran: ????ДO???

Su Zili: ┐（′-｀）┌

“Why did you hit me!”

Zhang Buran rubbed his stomach. How did this woman’s strength get so much stronger?

“Who told you to sneak up on me silently. I thought it was a ghost.” Xia Yun said nonchalantly.

“On purpose, you definitely did it on purpose!”

“So what if it was on purpose? Little Zhang, do you still want your money?”

“Don’t think that I will compromise for mere money! I just simply don’t want to argue with you!”

Zhang Buran looked arrogant.

Using the harshest tone, saying the most cowardly words.

“Okay, you two stop messing around, let’s talk about business.”

Zhang Buran pointed to the unconscious Nan Liu: “How do we deal with him?”

Xia Yun said: “Let’s take him back to the Daoist Alliance Headquarters first. His fate still needs to be discussed in a meeting… but based on my judgment of those old fellows in the Daoist Alliance, Nan Liu will most likely die.”

“In recent centuries, the Daoist Alliance has found reincarnation after reincarnation of Qiang Liu and secretly monitored them. Several generations of Qiang Liu’s reincarnations have lived safely, some even living their entire lives as ordinary people.”

“But now that Qiang Liu has appeared, the Daoist Alliance’s upper echelons will definitely take it seriously.”

“The commotion was too big, people died.”

“The Wang Family Head is dead, and the Wang Family Villa is destroyed. Such a big event will definitely have an impact on society. The Daoist Alliance can only make up a reason to minimize the impact.”

“And the most troublesome thing is that everyone present has been cursed. These people are powerful figures in Magic City, holding very important positions. All of them being cursed… the Daoist Alliance’s workload is going to increase.”

Speaking of this, Xia Yun frowned: “I guess we’ll have to work overtime again… so annoying.”

“The curse… what is the effect of the curse?”

Zhang Buran squatted down, thoughtfully observing a person.

Zhang Buran checked several more people and came to the same conclusion after a moment:

“The Gray Robe Mushroom is the catalyst for the curse. The more Gray Robe Mushrooms eaten, the deeper the curse.”

“This person, should have only eaten one or two bites, after all, he’s old and not interested in eating.”

Zhang Buran walked in front of a middle-aged man and analyzed.

Placing his hand on the middle-aged man, he investigated the curse in his body.

This is a very evil and venomous curse.

There are no signs for now, but vaguely, the curse seems to be guiding something.

At this time, Zhang Buran suddenly felt some ominous things approaching.

Zhang Buran flew into the air and looked closely.

Hundreds of meters away, a dense circle of little ghosts had gathered. At a glance, there were hundreds of little ghosts eager to try!

These ghosts are just ordinary ghosts. They should be Thought Ghosts from within a few kilometers.

In the mortal realm, there are many Thought Ghosts.

Thought Ghosts are small ghosts formed when people die with lingering obsessions, their souls lingering in the mortal realm.

A single little ghost doesn’t harm people, and ordinary people can’t see them, so the Daoist Alliance doesn’t bother with them.

But if a person is entangled by several or a dozen little ghosts, then the problem is serious!

Just like Wen Chuhan’s situation before being cursed.

In the hospital, entangled by several little ghosts, unable to sleep or eat well, her mental state was worrying, and she was plagued by bad luck.

“I understand! This curse attracts ghosts!” Zhang Buran suddenly realized.

“These little ghosts are not daring to approach because they are afraid of us!”

“You two, quickly suppress your Magical Power.”

The moment Zhang Buran and the others suppressed their Magical Power, their aura became the same as ordinary people.

Hundreds of meters away, countless little ghosts, no longer worried, rushed over!

In Zhang Buran’s and others’ vision, countless little ghosts roared and screamed, rushing forward, just like a full-scale charge in ancient warfare.

Countless little ghosts, like hungry wild dogs scrambling for food, were impatient.

In a moment, several or a dozen little ghosts surrounded all the unconscious and cursed people!

These ghosts, like being attracted by a magnet, clung tightly to the cursed people.

The next moment, countless little ghosts, with grimacing faces and various appearances, began to absorb the Yang Qi from the unconscious people!

Born as a human being, Yang Qi is the most abundant.

Insufficient Yang Qi will lead to weakness and illness.

If a person has no Yang Qi, they are a corpse.
