Qing Dai suddenly said this.
My expression couldn't help but darken.
I opened my mouth and asked back:
"Are they Yin Messengers of the Underworld?"
Because I knew that Qing Dai had been pursued by Yin Messengers all these years.
Before, she was even injured by the Black and White Impermanence.
She was still a wanted criminal by the Underworld.
So I thought that the ones who almost killed her must be Yin Messengers from the Underworld.
But Qing Dai shook her head:
"No, remnants of the Xin Dynasty."
Speaking of this, Qing Dai's gaze suddenly turned sharp, her killing intent unconcealed.
But my heart churned.
My mind exploded with a "buzz."
"Xin, Xin Dynasty?"
I asked in shock.
What a joke?
How many years has it been since the Xin Dynasty?
Moreover, it only existed in history for a little over ten years before being destroyed by Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han, Liu Xiu.
How many dynasties have changed since then, and there are still remnants?
But Qing Dai nodded firmly:
"Yes, the Xin Dynasty.
Like me, they exist in the form of ghosts.
Always thinking of a comeback, to restore the Xin Dynasty.
With every dynastic change, their shadows appear.
And all these years, they have never stopped hunting me.
And they control an organization called the You Ming Sect..."
Hearing this, I, who was already uneasy, felt a sudden surge of stormy waves within me.
You Ming Sect?
Isn't this the evil cult that killed my grand-master?
The cult that my master and Daoist Tang have been desperately tracking?
"You Ming Sect again!"
I muttered to myself.
When Qing Dai heard me mention the "You Ming Sect," she spoke again:
"You know the You Ming Sect too?"
I frowned and shook my head slightly:
"I don't know much, but I learned from my master.
It is a very mysterious evil cult.
It killed my grand-master, and my master has been searching for this evil cult.
Also, last month at Crow Mountain.
We encountered an evil cultist from the You Ming Sect.
Mo Ting and I were both hit by his Soul-Capturing Curse."
I truthfully explained my connection with the You Ming Sect.
But I never expected that such a secret was hidden behind this You Ming Sect.
The actual controller was the remnant of the Xin Dynasty, who had been enemies with Qing Dai for a thousand years.
Even, in Qing Dai's words.
This force had flowed down the river of history.
Appearing during every regime subversion and dynastic change.
"You were hit by the Soul-Capturing Curse?"
Qing Dai suddenly spoke, more concerned about my issue.
I nodded:
"Yes, but it's alright.
My master has placed a Spirit-Suppressing Charm on me.
That charm will disappear on its own within a month at most."
I said with a smile, not taking it seriously.
After all, I checked the Spirit-Suppressing Charm on my chest every day.
As long as this charm was still there,
Sealing the Soul-Capturing Curse, the Soul-Capturing Curse would not have a significant impact on me.
However, Qing Dai appeared very nervous and worried.
"Let me see where the Soul-Capturing Curse was placed."
Seeing Qing Dai's deep concern for me, I felt inexplicably comforted.
"It's on my chest, it's fine."
I was a little embarrassed.
But Qing Dai insisted on looking:
"Don't be embarrassed, the You Ming Sect's Soul-Capturing Curse is very complex.
Ordinary Spirit-Suppressing Charms might not be effective."
Hearing Qing Dai say this, I couldn't help but gasp.
This was no child's play.
I responded with an "Oh" and then lifted my shirt.
On my chest, there was a black mark.
Visually, it was nothing major.
However, if one circulated their inner energy to stimulate it.
Then this Soul-Capturing Curse and Spirit-Suppressing Charm would appear simultaneously.
At this moment, Qing Dai gently touched my body.
I felt a tingling sensation as if I had been shocked, my breathing inexplicably quickened.
And the Soul-Capturing Curse on my chest fully emerged at this moment.
A black circle, like an eye.
Outside this eye, there was a circle of runes.
That was the Spirit-Suppressing Charm, sealing the Soul-Capturing Curse.
Qing Dai's eyebrows rose as she observed carefully.
"Qing Dai, is there any problem?"
I asked.
But Qing Dai's expression seemed to become increasingly grave:
"No, there's a big problem. I'll let you see it clearly now."
Qing Dai's tone was serious.
As soon as she finished speaking, she struck my chest with a palm.
Under this palm strike, I only felt a chill in my chest.
A trace of icy cold energy instantly surged from within my chest.
The next second, I felt a tearing pain in my chest, as if insects were crawling.
Following that, a visible scene unfolded.
From the center of my chest, starting from the black eyeball-like spot, countless black and red threads emerged.
The blood threads spread from my chest to my entire chest.
Completely penetrating the outer Spirit-Suppressing Charm.
If viewed from a distance, these blood threads converged.
My chest seemed to have an eyeball appearing on it.
"What is this? How could this happen?"
I looked at the chest full of black and red threads, my face turned pale, filled with terror.
"This is also the Soul-Capturing Curse, but this kind of Soul-Capturing Curse.
It directly targets the soul.
It is more venomous and powerful.
Once it spreads to the entire chest, it will activate directly.
At that time, your soul will be extinguished.
There will be no way to save you..."
"Ah! This, this is so terrifying!"
I gasped in shock.
I had thought everything was under control.
But I never expected such a time bomb hidden within my body.
And it could explode at any moment...
