With the formidable cultivation of "Long Wu Zhua," he had long been immune to all illnesses.
Consumption and similar ailments were even less likely!
However, the weakness and disarray he displayed at this moment were genuine, not feigned in the slightest!
Even "Wang Ge Bi," or rather, Wang Ge Bi himself, couldn't help but express concern for Long Wu Zhua.
"Little Wu Zi, your qi deviation symptoms are worsening. Go to the cultivation sanctuary of my Great Xin Dynasty for a good secluded retreat. Strive to recover your injuries soon!"
Long Wu Zhua gave a wry smile.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but my qi deviation... alas, it cannot be healed!"
"Oh, what do you mean by that?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this is not ordinary qi deviation. I have been cursed!"
"What? Are you joking with me? Curses are merely crooked paths. How could they harm a Nascent Soul ancestor?"
Wang Ge Bi's expression turned incredibly grim.
The faces of the other "Nascent Soul ancestors" were equally as grim!
"Curse," as an "underhanded tactic," was incredibly troublesome and impossible to guard against.
From thousands of miles away, a curse could be sent directly into the soul.
One could even be killed without knowing who did it!
Who could withstand that?
Fortunately, "curses" were considered mere crooked paths, unworthy of serious consideration.
Generally, curses could only affect Qi Refining realm cultivators and Foundation Establishment realm cultivators.
For Golden Core cultivators and above, curses had little chance of success.
As for Nascent Soul cultivators and Nascent Soul ancestors... heh, there was never a recorded instance of a curse affecting such powerful figures!
Therefore, in principle, Nascent Soul ancestors had no reason to worry about curses.
But now, Long Wu Zhua claimed he had been cursed.
And the curse was incredibly potent and terrifying!
Long Wu Zhua was so weak he barely resembled himself, tormented by inner demons to the brink of death. He had fallen from the middle Nascent Soul stage to the early Nascent Soul stage, and now he was showing signs of possibly dropping to the Core Formation stage.
This was a disaster!
The Nascent Soul ancestors felt a sense of shared tragedy, like a rabbit dying and the fox weeping nearby.
Regarding the matter of curses, the Nascent Soul ancestors were determined to get to the bottom of it.
This was a great threat!
If it wasn't resolved, who knew when a curse might befall them?
Wang Ge Bi's eyes flashed, and he asked in a deep voice.
"Little Wu Zi, are you certain you have been cursed?"
Long Wu Zhua nodded heavily.
Perhaps due to the excessive force, he aggravated his injuries, and Long Wu Zhua began to cough violently, spitting blood as he did so.
After more than ten minutes, Long Wu Zhua finally managed to calm down.
He said weakly, his voice hoarse.
"Certain, absolutely, and unequivocally!"
To further enhance his credibility, Long Wu Zhua continued.
"Not only me, but my junior brother, Long Si Xu, has also been cursed!"
What?
The Nascent Soul ancestors nearly leaped out of their skin.
Just moments ago, they had held onto a sliver of hope, thinking Long Wu Zhua's qi deviation might be a coincidence, not necessarily a curse.
But now, hearing that Long Si Xu was also cursed, their last shred of hope was extinguished, leaving only the cruel, cold reality!
This cold reality was that curses could indeed harm Nascent Soul ancestors!
How could this be tolerated?
Wang Ge Bi, with a dark expression, asked the question that was on all the Nascent Soul ancestors' minds.
"What is Si Xu's current condition? Is it as severe as yours?"
For this high-level meeting, the Heavenly Dragon Sacred Land had only sent Long Wu Zhua as a representative; Long Si Xu was not present.
Long Wu Zhua shook his head and replied.
"My junior brother's situation is better than mine..."
Upon hearing this, the Nascent Soul ancestors collectively let out a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness. It seemed the curse's power was limited, not causing every Nascent Soul ancestor to suffer as severely as Long Wu Zhua.
Thinking this way, the curse didn't seem so terrifying anymore!
Before the Nascent Soul ancestors could finish their thoughts, they heard Long Wu Zhua say.
"My junior brother only recently began to be cursed, once a month, perhaps three or four times. He has only just started experiencing qi deviation... I believe in the near future, he will be like me!"
Heh, that was truly "promising for the future"... not at all!
The faces of the Nascent Soul ancestors turned as black as if they were about to drip ink.
At this moment, Wang Ge Bi's keen senses picked up on a crucial detail in Long Wu Zhua's words.
Once a month!
Wang Ge Bi's face darkened by another three points. He asked in a deep voice.
"Little Wu Zi, is the curse not a one-time occurrence, but rather something that happens every month?"
Damn it!
No way!
As soon as he uttered this, the Nascent Soul ancestors' eyes widened, and they furiously cursed in their minds.
It's not like *that*, happening once a month? This is too preposterous!
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
They all looked at Long Wu Zhua, hoping for him to deny it.
Who knew that Long Wu Zhua would nod heavily.
"Yes, the curse occurs once a month, and it is incredibly punctual, with a deviation of no more than ten minutes!"
Damn it!
Is it that perverted!
Cold sweat streamed down the faces of the Nascent Soul ancestors.
They couldn't imagine what it would feel like to be cursed once every month!
It would be so incredibly unpleasant!
They looked at the weakened Long Wu Zhua and couldn't help but pity him.
Wang Ge Bi said, "Little Wu Zi, who is so malicious? Do you have any clues? Do you need me to eliminate them for you!"
Given Wang Ge Bi's personality, he rarely offered such "altruistic" words.
It was simply because Long Wu Zhua was too pitiful. Even Wang Ge Bi, as an "unfeeling emperor," couldn't bear to watch.
Long Wu Zhua was deeply moved. A flicker of gratitude flashed in his eyes, and just as he was about to say something, someone nearby couldn't stand it any longer.
"Heavenly Dragon Dharma King First Avatar" - Li Tianyi!
Li Tianyi had been furious after being glared at by Wang Ge Bi and falling to the ground. However, due to Wang Ge Bi's status and his Nascent Soul cultivation, Li Tianyi could only swallow his anger and dared not retaliate!
But now, Wang Ge Bi was truly unbearable.
He stepped forward again and said angrily.
"Everyone, please do not forget the theme of tonight's meeting! We are here to discuss how to eliminate that so-called mysterious senior, not to talk about some damned curse!"
Li Tianyi had no interest in curses. He didn't even care about the lives of Long Wu Zhua and Long Si Xu. He only wanted to kill the mysterious senior as quickly as possible and rescue the Heavenly Dragon Dharma King's main soul.
This fellow...
Wang Ge Bi's face darkened, and he frowned, about to erupt again.
Long Wu Zhua stepped forward and said weakly.
"Calm yourselves. What I am saying is not deviating from tonight's agenda..."
