Chapter 1929: Chapter 1928: The Art of the Curse, The Mastermind Reveals Himself

The terrain of the Great Thousand Gorge was originally still in its infancy.

Now it has completely grown up.

At this moment, the terrain is like a sprawling dragon lying on the ground.

Only the sound of “rumbling, rumbling” kept echoing.

After setting foot on solid ground, looking ahead, the mountain’s shape was clear and distinct.

Surrounded by frozen white mist, there was a winding road stretching endlessly.

This is the terrain of the Great Thousand Gorge.

It stretches throughout the entire Great Thousand Gorge.

“Master, what should we do?” Meng Xiaoman asked.

“The danger of the terrain lies in following the source of the icy torrents,” Xu Zimei said.

Meng Xiaoman followed behind Xu Zimei.

The terrain didn’t seem dangerous, apart from being bitterly cold.

The two of them circled the terrain, walking a large loop.

Finally, just as they looked like they were reaching the end, a stone gate appeared ahead.

“The source is here, the stone gate is man-made,” Xu Zimei said.

He carefully sensed it.

There was a mechanism on the stone gate. If it were forcibly pushed down, the person behind the scenes might instantly become aware.

“Just a little trick,” Xu Zimei said.

He waved his hand, Rule Power enveloping his palm.

Xu Zimei had already risen from his wheelchair.

With his current strength, dealing with Dao Fruit Powerhouses wasn’t difficult, but if it were a Three Flowers powerhouse, he hadn’t fully recovered and meeting them would be ill-advised for now.

Rule Power twined around, and the formation spell within the stone gate was forcibly stripped away.

As long as the formation spell wasn’t broken, all could be discussed.

Moreover, the formation wasn’t particularly sophisticated and wasn’t difficult for Xu Zimei.

After merging the formation spell into the side of the mountain wall, Xu Zimei struck the stone gate with a palm.

At the moment the stone gate shattered, an icy torrent rushed out, catching people off guard.

But fortunately, Xu Zimei’s reaction was quick enough.

With a direct palm strike, the icy torrent split into two, rushing out from both sides.

After the torrent ended, they looked again at the situation inside the stone gate.

Inside was a chiseled-out mountain chamber.

The space wasn’t large, on the left a bizarre formation was operating.

A chill of Yin Qi surrounded the formation.

Above it floated a translucent skull.

On the right was a particularly large table.

Xu Zimei first approached the formation. He didn’t know its name, but he could perceive its basic function.

The formation could channel Yin Qi outward, much like a conduit, with the source of Yin Qi being the transparent skull hanging above.

This skull came from some kind of Monster Beast.

It looked ferocious and malevolent.

“This is the Ancient Holy Bird,” Meng Xiaoman hurriedly said.

“Yes, it must be the Ancient Holy Bird, it’s identical to the records of our Heavenly Being race.

I thought it was just a legend, but I didn’t expect it to truly exist.”

“What is the Ancient Holy Bird?” Xu Zimei asked.

“Our Heavenly Being race’s former totem Divine Beast,” Meng Xiaoman said.

“In the back mountain, there are murals of the Ancient Holy Bird.

It’s said to be our totem, but it became extinct many years ago.

I’ve never seen it since I was born.

But this skull is identical to that mural.”

“The Ancient Holy Bird loves the cold. It’s said that wherever it flew, heavy snow followed.

Its lifespan is exceedingly long.

Even after death, its coldness doesn’t dissipate.

It’s said that the corpse of a powerful Ancient Holy Bird can freeze thousands of miles of land after death.”

“It seems the person behind this knows your Heavenly Being race quite well indeed.

Using the Ancient Holy Bird to connect cause and effect.

Then using formations to extract the coldness from the Ancient Holy Bird.”

As Xu Zimei spoke, his figure stopped by the large table.

The table was immense, occupying nearly half of the mountain chamber’s space.

On the table lay dozens of dolls.

Each doll had silver needles embedded in it, more or less.

“Aren’t these dolls our clanspeople?” Meng Xiaoman said fearfully.

Pointing to one of the dolls, she said, “That’s my mother.

Anyone in the clan who has fallen ill in this strange way can find their likeness among these dolls.”

“Stay calm,” Xu Zimei patted her shoulder.

He took a closer look, seeing black aura swirling around each doll.

Some had more black aura, evidently gravely ill.

“If we destroy these dolls, can we save my mother?” Meng Xiaoman asked hopefully.

Xu Zimei shook his head.

“Changing the terrain, killing with curses.

Everything has its laws ordained by fate.”

Xu Zimei said, “Though this method seems ethereal, it can indeed be accomplished.”

“The Three Souls and Seven Spirits of these people are probably incomplete already.

To save your mother, you must retrieve her missing Soul.”

An average person with all Three Souls and Seven Spirits intact and Five Elements in Perfection wouldn’t fear these Yin Qi.

But missing one of the Three Souls and Seven Spirits leads to many illnesses and disasters.

Easy to calculate and curse.”

The person behind this surely has formidable strength, capable of directly wiping out the current weakened Heavenly Being race.

But they seem concerned with something.

They didn’t strike directly but rather used these unnoticed methods to invisibly lead the Heavenly Being race to extinction.

“Then let’s see who this person behind the scenes really is,” Xu Zimei said.

He moved and set the whole table of dolls ablaze.

Following that, Xu Zimei quickly left with Meng Xiaoman across the terrain.

He wasn’t ready for a full confrontation with this person yet, due to his injuries; it was best to remain cautious.

After all, the strength of the past Demon Lord was no longer there to rely on.

……

At this moment, far from the Great Thousand Gorge, in a corner of Eastern City.

Scarlet eyes opened slowly.

“The medium object has been destroyed, it seems someone has discovered this place.”

The eyes flashed before the figure disappeared into the void.

It would take some time for him to reach the Great Thousand Gorge, as there was still some distance.

Upon reaching the ground, Xu Zimei waved his large hand, restoring the terrain’s deep hole to its original state.

“How did it go?” those who had been waiting, including Wang You, quickly stepped forward to ask.

“Someone is causing trouble, let’s lure them out,” Xu Zimei said.

“In the coming days, we can expect outsiders to come to the Great Thousand Gorge.

Stay alert.

But don’t alert them, since we don’t know their identity and strength yet.”

“Got it,” Wang You sighed deeply.

……

In the following days, life inclined toward tranquility.

Despite the Great Thousand Gorge being more heavily guarded, it was virtually meaningless to true experts.

One night, a figure crossed the Faceless Sea.

This figure stood on a small boat.

The surrounding sea water flowed along with the current, quickly rowing him towards the shore.

In theory, the Faceless Sea is the territory of the Faceless Clan, and any creature entering should be attacked.

But around this figure, there was no sign of any creatures from the Faceless Clan.

Finally, he stopped at the shore.
