As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

Once the power of the Corpse Curse accumulated to a certain degree, it would erupt and form a Corpse Curse Mark in an irresistible manner.

Unless the one marked by the seal fought back decisively, nullifying their cultivation, or even sacrificing their life, they could resist the erosion of the Corpse Curse Mark.

But how many people could face death with equanimity?

Not wanting to die, coupled with the temptation to increase oneʼs cultivation, they gave up their beliefs and joined the Corpse God Cult.

Li Che closed his eyes, then slowly opened them again.

He began to ponder the adversaryʼs objective.

It was the first time he had met Old Chen, and there was undetectable power of the Corpse Curse building up inside him, targeting a Blood Exchange Warrior whose vitality was beginning to decline. There had to be a specific goal in mind.

To convert Old Chen to the Corpse God Cult?

In Mansion City, Blood Exchange Warriors really werenʼt much, especially an aging one like Old Chen. How could he be worth such scheming?

Li Che felt that the target was likely still Xi Xi.

Although not many knew of the relationship between Old Chen and his family...

If it were the residents of Listening Flowers Lane, they would all know that Old Chen had a very close relationship with his family. Find adventures on empire

The Corpse God Cult meant to use Old Chen like those Corpse Curse-imposed wood carvings from before, to spread the Corpse Curse Mark onto Xi Xiʼs body through Old Chen!

”Corpse God Cult... they really deserve to die!”

Li Cheʼs eyes suddenly became sharply cold and desolate.

Even after being killed, they arenʼt afraid?

Not making a move for a month, and they start getting active again?

Or is it...

Because not killing a major figure from the Corpse God Cult, they donʼt feel the pain?

The coldness in Li Cheʼs eyes surged, his murderous intent stronger than ever before.

Zhang Ya seemed to sense that her husbandʼs expression was darkening, and, puzzled, she turned her head and patted Li Cheʼs chest.

Li Cheʼs face became slightly more relaxed.

For now, Old Chen was not in danger. They didnʼt intend to harm Old Chen, and the power of the Corpse Curse was just beginning to infiltrate. At an opportune moment, he could simply use his vitality to flush it away.

Therefore, Li Che didnʼt immediately set out to kill. He planned to follow the trail and see if he could find someone important.

Then...

Make the Corpse God Cult feel the pain!

Having calmed his mood,

Li Cheʼs gaze fell upon the fighting ring.

On the fighting ring,

Xi Xi was loosening up her limbs when suddenly, something resembling a dead butterfly on her shoulder flapped its wings vigorously.

Xi Xi immediately widened her expressive eyes...

and looked toward Shangguan Qinglei, becoming angry.

Her diminutive frame suddenly radiated a frightening oppressive force.

”You actually want to kill me?!”
