Chapter 124: Half a Year Later
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Elder Blood River’s body was boiling with blood as he erased the grudges from his wounds.
The severed arm on the ground melted into blood and flew back to his shoulder. After a wriggle, his arm was restored to its original state.
“I want to see what else you can do.” Blood River Elder sat cross-legged and waited quietly for the following curse.
As long as he could withstand the price of the curse, theoretically speaking, the Great Grudge Curse Technique could keep cursing.
On the other side, as Zhang Chen launched the first curse, the backlash followed.
Since he cut off the opponent’s arm, he naturally had to pay the price of losing an arm.
The clay figure raised its dagger and slashed at Zhang Chen’s arm.
But as it was about to touch Zhang Chen, the clay figure suddenly stopped moving, as if a machine had malfunctioned and got stuck.
The consciousness of the curse demon did not understand what had happened, but only found that it could not harm the person in front of it.
It had no thinking ability, and after a brief stalemate, it confirmed that it could not harm the other party and withdrew its arm, returning to its original state.
Zhang Chen knew that this was because the modifier had modified the cultivation technique and removed the side effects.
When using the curse with the help of the curse demon’s ability, the curse demon would naturally not work for free but would require payment for the curse’s cost.
What was cursed on others would also be paid by oneself, which was fair.
The ritual and the curse were like a contract, but after being modified by the modifier, the curse demon could only work for free and become a one-sided command without pay.
The consciousness of the curse demon was confused and could not find the problem.
“I curse him to die by being disemboweled!” Zhang Chen cursed again.
The clay figure held the knife and ruthlessly cut a large slash across the abdomen of Elder Blood River without warning.
“Thud…
In the Blood God Sect, a huge cut suddenly appeared on Elder Blood River without warning.
But the blood at the wound wriggled, and in the blink of an eye, it was restored to its original state.
“I curse him to lose his five senses!” Zhang Chen continued to curse.
The clay figure used a dagger to stab at Elder Blood River’s face, stabbing his mouth, ears, eyes, nose, and throat.
In the Blood God Sect, Elder Blood River was bleeding from his seven orifices. It was extremely terrifying.
“I curse him to have no heart or lungs!”
The clay figure opened the chest and took out two clay balls representing the heart and lungs.
“I curse him to fall into madness!
“I curse him…”
Zhang Chen cursed continuously, and Elder Blood River on the other side was constantly being injured, but he would soon recover.
He did not expect to kill Elder Blood River with curses. The purpose of doing so was only to disgust and torture him, making him paranoid and unable to focus on him.
This curse lasted for a day! I curse him to die by being beheaded!”
“Boom!”
As Zhang Chen uttered the curse, the dilapidated mud statue could no longer hold together and collapsed into countless pieces.
“Is it broken? Then that’s it for now, curse you again next time.” Zhang Chen took out a bottle and collected the scattered grudges, ready for the next use.
An hour later, in the Blood God Sect, Elder Blood River no longer felt the curses descending and spoke coldly.
“Is he finally dead? It took so long for the curses to kill him. Looks like he was well prepared.”
The only people who could cast the Great Grudge Curse on him were those whose cultivation level was lower than his own because those with a higher cultivation level did not need a curse at all.
Being able to cast so many curses was already very rare.
He didn’t take the Great Grudge Curse seriously at first, but the continuous curses that lasted a day made him irritable and angry. He didn’t know who the other party was and he had no place to vent.
To dispel the grudges left by the curse, he lost 20 years of his power.
It was only because the Blood God Sect’s cultivation techniques were special, possessing an undying body, that for others, the cost of resisting the curse would be even greater.
However, he had many enemies and did not take this matter to heart. Two days later, Zhang Chen returned to the Blood God Sect as if nothing had happened.
The days after that returned to normal, refining demon blood and cultivating Blood God Sons.
On the other side, the four members of the Silver Moon Sect were still searching for Zhang Chen’s whereabouts. After two months of searching without any results, they had no choice but to give up and return to their sect to report.
As the Silver Moon Sect was worried that the Blood God Sect was up to something, they sent more direct disciples to search and investigate within their territory.
They did not find the disciples of the Blood God Sect, but they found many demonic and evil cultivators.
Time passed quickly when cultivating. Half a year passed in a flash.
Zhang Chen stood up and walked out of the cave abode with a deep gaze. “Half a year is up. I wonder if Shen Yijun has come near the Blood God Sect.”
Shen Yijun, who wanted to kill Zhang Chen, was instead controlled by the Blood Curse that Zhang Chen had cast, despite being at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment.
This was also his experiment to see if the intelligent Blood God Sons could control other cultivators with the blood curse.
During this half a year, Shen Yijun would definitely try various ways to remove the blood seed from his body.
If he could not remove it, it would prove that using the Blood God Sons to control other cultivators was indeed feasible.
As soon as he entered the Blood God Sect, Zhang Chen sensed that the Blood God Son was only 50 miles away from him.
“I wonder if Shen Yijun can bring me any surprises.” Zhang Chen smiled slightly, feeling somewhat excited, and turned into a blood light and flew over.
In a dense forest 50 miles away, Shen Yijun was anxiously waiting for Zhang Chen’s arrival.
During this half year, he did indeed inquire about Zhang Chen, but most of the time, he was looking for a way to remove the blood seed from his body.
Although he had not been able to get rid of the control of the blood seed, he had gained some knowledge.
The simplest method was to slowly erode the blood seed with his own power.
After all, this was his own body, and his power was spread throughout his body. And with his high level of cultivation, he only needed to erode and assimilate the blood seed and he would be able to refine it into a part of himself.
However, this process was very long and would probably take more than a hundred years.
The main reason was that he could not be anxious during this period. If he was discovered by the blood seed, he would be in danger of dying.
There was also a cultivation technique that could reconstruct the body. It would be best if he could cultivate the Blood Nerve Technique. After condensing the blood body, not only would he not die, but he could also refine the blood seed in his body and increase his cultivation.
Not to mention the Blood Nerve Technique, other cultivation techniques that reconstructed the body were very rare.
Therefore, Shen Yijun chose to use his mana to slowly erode and assimilate the blood seed before searching for a cultivation technique to reconstruct his body. If he could obtain the cultivation technique, he would switch to cultivating it.
During this period, he had no choice but to serve Zhang Chen.
As for the Heaven’s Oath, even though it couldn’t be violated, it could be used to deceive Heaven’s Will.
At that time, he only swore to be loyal to Zhang Chen and did not specify which Zhang Chen it was.
It was fine to change his name to Zhang Chen, or find someone called Zhang Chen and get him to break the oath.
Because this was Zhang Chen’s first time coming into contact with the Heavenly Dao oath and he did not understand the twists and turns, such a loophole appeared.
Of course, it was also Shen Yijun who had deliberately guided him.
Just as Shen Yijun was thinking about how to deal with Zhang Chen, a blood light landed in front of him.
Shen Yijun immediately turned into a lackey and bowed. “Sir, you’re here..”
