Chapter 831 - 543: Joyful Heart-Eroding Curse, Lu Qing’s Solution
Chapter 831: Chapter 543: Joyful Heart-Eroding Curse, Lu Qing’s Solution
"Who is this Miao Yu?"
When Lu Qing saw the expression on the Canglan City Lord’s face, he knew that the existence called Miao Yu was probably not an ordinary powerhouse.
"Miao Yu is a Supreme Elder of the top sect in the upper realm, the Joyful Union Sect, and an extremely powerful figure in the Primordial Spirit Realm, having surpassed four tribulations,"
Mo Hongyun said slowly.
"Four tribulations in the Primordial Spirit Realm..." Lu Qing’s heart was shaken.
Every time one overcomes a Primordial Spirit tribulation, their strength undergoes a dramatic transformation.
A mighty figure who has overcome four tribulations could probably defeat him with just a breath.
"Four tribulations is something to behold, but this Miao Yu is notoriously lustful, especially fond of collecting women with unique physiques as concubines for dual cultivation,"
The Canglan City Lord’s face looked grim.
"Hongyun, what happened next? It’s said that Miao Yu cultivates the supreme cultivation technique of the Joyful Union Sect, the [Joyful Lust Zen].
This cultivation technique is unusually strange and troublesome; women chosen by him rarely escape his control."
"What else could happen," Mo Hongyun said flatly, "I am just a mere Golden Core Realm cultivator; being targeted by a figure who has overcome four tribulations leaves me with no choice but to accept my fate, right?
Even our Mo Family ancestor’s cultivation is only at the four-tribulations stage.
How can we possibly oppose a massive entity like the Joyful Union Sect?
I didn’t even know I had caught Miao Yu’s eye during that birthday banquet.
It wasn’t until I returned to the clan that I noticed this thing on me."
As she spoke, Mo Hongyun summoned a trace of mana and drew a line in front of herself.
As the fabric flew, her garment at the heart revealed a cut, exposing a patch of white skin.
However, Lu Qing and the Canglan City Lord’s attention was not on that.
Their eyes were fixed intently on a strange mark on Mo Hongyun’s chest.
It was a thumb-sized eerie red curse seal formed of red lines, faintly appearing to move like a living thing, giving off a chilling appearance.
"It really is the [Joyful Heart-Eroding Curse]!"
The Canglan City Lord’s face changed drastically upon seeing the strange curse seal.
"It’s rumored to be Miao Yu’s signature Taoist skill, very bizarre.
Those who fall under this curse talisman experience gradual erosion of their spirit, ultimately becoming utterly devoted, obedient to his will.
Moreover, this curse talisman is entirely under the spell caster’s control.
Anyone afflicted by it, no matter where they flee, can be sensed by him, making escape impossible.
Hongyun, why didn’t you tell me earlier that you got hit with the [Joyful Heart-Eroding Curse]?"
The Canglan City Lord’s face was very troubled; he never imagined that Mo Hongyun was burdened with such heavy pressure.
"Even if I told you earlier, what could you do? Can you break this [Joyful Heart-Eroding Curse] for me?
Or are you saying the ancestors of your Nangong Family would be willing to help rescue this bastard child?" Mo Hongyun said flatly.
The Canglan City Lord was at a loss.
The [Joyful Heart-Eroding Curse] being a spell set by Miao Yu, he naturally had no power to break it.
Though his family’s ancestors were naturally much more powerful than Miao Yu.
But to say they would intervene to help Mo Hongyun break the curse, he himself could not promise that.
"Right, your Nangong Family couldn’t wait for this bastard child to die early.
How would they offer their noble hands to save this worthless life of mine?
Moreover, years ago, when my parents visited your Nangong Family as guests, they ended up dead without clear cause and without any explanation.
Since then, I swore in my heart that even if I were to fall into the Infinite Purgatory, I would never seek help from your Nangong Family!"
Seeing the hatred on Mo Hongyun’s face, the Canglan City Lord fell silent.
He realized that Mo Hongyun’s hatred for their Nangong Family might never be resolved.
This time, if he hadn’t tried to save her desperately, she might not have even acknowledged him as her uncle.
But he was still worried about the safety of this niece of his.
He couldn’t help but say, "Have you tried seeking your Mo Family ancestors for help? He, like you, is also a powerful figure who has overcome four tribulations, he should have a way.
You’ve awakened the Life Prediction Divine Power, and you’re almost guaranteed to step into the Primordial Spirit Realm in the future.
The Mo Family ancestor knows this; he can’t possibly not save you."
"Do you think I haven’t thought of that?" Mo Hongyun sneered, "But soon after I was cursed with the [Joyful Heart-Eroding Curse], the Joyful Union Sect sent a wedding invitation stating that Miao Yu wanted to take me as a concubine.
If I rebelled, my Mo Family would never have a place to stand in the upper realm again.
The power of the Joyful Union Sect is comparable to your Thirty-six Upper Clans.
Just Miao Yu alone is challenging for the Mo Family to withstand.
Let alone other, even more powerful Supreme Elders.
Do you think the Mo Family would risk offending the colossal Joyful Union Sect for a parentless, alone, mere Golden Core Realm like me?
Not to mention seeking help; I didn’t even dare to reveal that I awakened the Life Prediction Divine Power and the Xuanyin Jade Body.
If the Mo Family knew, to keep the family’s innate divine power a secret.
The first thought would not be to rescue me, but to eliminate me, wouldn’t it?"
The Canglan City Lord fell silent again.
Lu Qing was also somewhat apprehensive.
According to Mo Hongyun’s previous explanation, certain dual cultivation methods could take away both the Xuanyin Jade Body’s virtue, cultivation, and divine skills.
If the Mo Family knew that Mo Hongyun awakened both the Xuanyin Jade Body and the Life Prediction Divine Power.
To protect the family’s innate divine power’s secret, they might indeed secretly eliminate Mo Hongyun, who knows.
