Chapter 520 - I Have A Great Deal of Curse Strength

Within the ancestral hall, Qi Yunshu’s corpse lay down on the icy cold floor. His face was pale gray and his eyes were still wide, as if he were still in stark disbelief up until the moment he died.

Qi Dongtai’s eyes were closed as he leaned back against a large wooden chair. His voice was light as he said, “I already said long ago that a person shouldn’t be too arrogant, otherwise sooner or later, disaster will visit them. Yunshu was obedient and docile in front of me, but when he left the family he was domineering and tyrannical. Although I am old, I am not yet blind. I naturally knew of all of this. So, he only has himself to blame for this fatal accident today.”

The faint words spread throughout the ancestral hall. The fourth family manager to the right lowered his head, not daring to say any words to follow up. Everyone knew that the old master’s words were cruel and scolding, but in reality, he favored this Qi Yunshu who lacked skills or smarts. Once, he privately told his old servant that the little monkey looked the most like him during his youth. Now, although he was calm on the surface, who knew how much rage was bubbling below?

As expected, Qi Dongtai opened his eyes. “But remember, the reason our Qi Family was able to rise from being small and weak to becoming powerful players within Heavenly Demon City and keep our generations of inheritance, what we rely on is not truth and reasoning, but our own ruthlessness! Yunshu may have made a mistake, but even if he should have died, only our family’s ancestral hall could have punished him with death. Others shouldn’t have been able to do so.

“Right now, many people are laughing at our Qi Family, but let them smile, because facts overcome all. I will not allow Yao Bin to live and enter the Demonic Path. Since he killed in Heavenly Demon City, he must stay here.”

The third family manager fell to his knees, tears streaming down from his eyes. “Thank you Old Ancestor. If Yunshu knows of this in the underworld, he will be able to rest in peace!” He had over a dozen sons, so it was debatable how agonized he was. But on the surface at least, he had to display excruciating pain and sorrow.

Qi Dongtai frowned in disgust, as if he didn’t like the exaggerated performance of his third son. But as he thought about his dead child, he resisted scolding. He turned around and said in a soft voice, “Go. Allow him to rest peacefully.”

An old servant who had followed Qi Dongtai for many years suddenly grinned, revealing a mouth of yellow and missing teeth. The old servant nodded and left, vanishing into the shadows.

Looking at this old fellow who was even older than his father and looked as if he would fall over at any moment, the fourth family manager’s eyes widened.

Besides the High Ancestor who was rumored to still be in life and death seclusion, his father was the strongest one within the Qi Family. But this old servant made them feel the most fear. If his father was sending out this old servant today, then Yao Bin was dead for sure!

Qi Dongtai closed his eyes. “Just wait here. There will soon be a result. I will not allow Yunshu to walk the road alone.”

Dawnperch Hotel.

Yesterday’s liveliness had disappeared, and now all there was left here was chaos and confusion.

Within the entire inn, besides several servants who had no choice but to be on duty, there wasn’t the shadow of even a single person. Because the illuminating array formation was destroyed, vast areas were left in darkness. When people walked into these areas, they subconsciously felt fear.

The old servant walked out from the darkness. He looked up and smirked.

Not too far away, a young servant opened his mouth but could no longer say anything. He held his neck and slumped to the ground, blood gushing out from his nose and mouth, soon pooling on the floor.

The old servant shuffled forward. His speed was slow and his footsteps reverberated through the empty inn. But, what was strange was that as he passed through darkened areas, his figure seemed to fuse within. When he emerged, he was already in the distance.

So it didn’t take much time before the old servant entered the rear inn. He stood in the light, looking at the courtyard in front of him. He bowed a bit, seeming as if he very much appreciated the elegant design of the doors. Then, he lifted a hand and knocked.

The doors were incomparably firm and also supported by an array formation. Now, they began to disintegrate as if something horrifically corrosive had been splashed on them. They slowly turned into black dust that scattered on the ground. Faint traces of black fog spread along the lines of the array formation, ruining the protective array so that it didn’t even emit a sound of alarm.

With a smile, the old servant picked up his step and walked into the courtyard.

And at this time, the young servant who was killed in the front was already discovered by others. But, the person who examined him soon fell to the ground, dead, blood pouring from every orifice of their body.

The manager’s eyes widened. He shouted out, “Don’t walk over, step back!” Once he was a safe distance away, he turned and looked towards the rear inn, an anxious light in his eyes.

Rustle –

There was the sound of an opening door. In the dark and peaceful night, it was particularly grating to the ears.

The old servant raised an eyebrow, revealing several points of amazement. He looked ahead.

Qin Yu stepped out, his expression calm. “One of the Qi Family?”

The old servant shook his head. His voice was coarse and gravelly, “No. I am just a dog following the young master.”

Qin Yu dismissively waved his hand. “Whatever. I wasn’t curious about your identity to begin with. If you want to kill me, then let’s begin.”

The old servant strangely smiled. “The young are indeed extraordinary these days. But on behalf of the fact that you are helping me out by not fleeing and screaming for help, I will give you a happy ending.”

Countless black threads emerged from thin air. They were like a massive spider web. At this moment, they had already quietly blocked out the entire courtyard.

As the old servant lifted a hand and pointed a finger, these black threads constantly closed in on Qin Yu.

This gloomy and decaying aura...it was a curse!

Qin Yu’s eyes flashed. But before he could do anything, Meimei’s happy cries sounded out from his soul space. “Qin Yu, I am finding that following by your side is the best decision I made! You are simply a food detecting divine tool! I want this curse! I want it I want it I want it!”

Heavy black lines formed on Qin Yu’s forehead. Hey little girl, please remember who you are. If you keep on shouting ‘I want I want I want’ even if you are the one that mentioned this topic, I still feel dirty.

As for being a divine tool? Your head is a divine tool!

The purple moon brightened and a deep purple light spread throughout the soul space. But, it kept a region for Meimei, this was a tacit understanding that both sides had come to.

The little girl was flustered. “What do you want the curse for? Be careful what you eat or you will get a stomach ache. If you leave any in Qin Yu’s soul space, he definitely wouldn’t want that!

“I can eat it, there is no need for you to divide it. Big sister, you should go back to sleep.

“...Alright, but I want over half of it!

“Okay, I want at least half, it can’t be any less!"

Obviously, Meimei was being forced back again and again. But these words seemed to reveal some vital information.

The purple moon had a gender...and she was a big sister?

Excuse me, but how do you figure this out?

Moreover, there seemed to be many exchanges between the two.

Qin Yu suddenly felt sad, because he discovered that even though he was apparently the master of the purple moon, they were haughty and aloof and had never spoken a single word to him.

He couldn’t think about it! It would leave him in tears!

As all these random thoughts raced through his mind, the black threads had already arrived. They spun around Qin Yu’s body, instantly submerging him in endless layers.

The old servant revealed a surprised look. Listening to Daoist Blackwhite’s explanation of events, he thought that he would have some trouble killing this brat. He felt that something was off, but if this boy was surrounded by a web of his curse, unless he was a Calamity Immortal he was doomed.

Yao Bin was a Calamity Immortal? Don’t joke with me. As for what his reason was for standing still, did he even need to know?

Since Yao Bin was seeking death, he would be glad to save some time and effort.

But soon, the old servant could no longer feel happy because he discovered that Qin Yu still hadn’t died. Moreover, he was losing his curse strength at an astonishing rate. Even during such a short period of time, he had unexpectedly lost 10%.

With 10% of his curse strength, poisoning just less than half of Heavenly Demon City to death wouldn’t be too difficult. But, this wasn’t enough to kill him?

This boy was incredibly strange. Did he have some treasure that could absorb curses? But if he wanted to rely on this to preserve his life, he was far too naïve.

The old servant chuckled. Hey kid, I still have a great deal of curse strength left!
