Chapter 774: Chapter 363: The Blood God’s Lingering Disaster

Inside the casting hut

“Humph, old man, I think you’re just senile, you can’t even distinguish between threats and cultivation! And you randomly attack others! It’s excessive, too excessive!” Scott didn’t hesitate and directly started to curse.

At the same time, while cursing, he didn’t forget to glance at Ye Mingqiu beside him, raising his eyebrows twice as if saying: Look, brother, I’m helping you vent your anger and might even extort some resources.

Ye Mingqiu felt relaxed, even a little amused. Scott indeed knows how to handle things.

Ji Xuankong lowered his head, squatting aside like a schoolboy who made a mistake, getting scolded without retorting, just as Scott said, he was indeed old, not understanding the new age things, leading to the current misjudgment.

No choice, it really was his fault.

“Young brother, don’t take it to heart, guardians might indeed make mistakes like this. In small places like this, guardians usually don’t encounter strong people like you, so they won’t think this way, and without prior knowledge… accidents might happen.”

Scott stepped forward, continuing, “As you know, guardians of small places are usually spiritualists whose power won’t rise further or who don’t want to keep striving, just ensuring the area’s peace and stability.”

“Oh well, your power is too strong, in such a small place it stands out, being noticed by him is normal. Of course, I don’t mean this is your fault, just explaining.”

“I understand.”

Ye Mingqiu responded and then said, “I can forgive him for interrupting my cultivation, but for such offense, shouldn’t he pay some price?”

“Right, right, you need to offer some representation!”

Scott looked at Ji Xuankong and said.

“Oh.”

Ji Xuankong lowered his head, gently biting his lip, showing a trace of reluctance on his face, the hesitance clearly written all over.

But eventually, he sighed and took out his treasure from the storage space.

It was a fist-sized stone, irregularly elliptical in shape, its texture resembling black jade but with a peculiar eerie feeling.

Its surface lacked any metallic sheen, one might say it absorbs light, as if any light falling on it would be absorbed, presenting pure darkness.

Upon close observation, one could find densely packed dark patterns on the stone’s surface.

This is…

[Ancient Curse Stone]

Type: Material

Tier: Tier Four

Effect: A gemstone with special texture, can fully contain the power of a curse, containing high-intensity power of the Ancient God within, but entirely confined by the material itself, relatively stable in nature, a highly valuable curse system material.

Curse system material?

Ye Mingqiu glanced at Tang Ruobing, who was sitting beside, although technically she shouldn’t be sitting here, Ye Mingqiu didn’t care about those so-called conventions.

She seems quite eager, doesn’t she?

Ye Mingqiu suddenly smirked, then stored the item in his storage space, coughed twice, and continued, “Good, I already feel your sincerity, I’ll let you go this time.”

“That’s good.”

Ji Xuankong was surprised inwardly but remained calm on the surface.

Although he was reluctant when taking it out, much of it was just an act. Although the item was precious to him, it wasn’t to an extreme degree, and he hoped not to bleed too much.

In this way, it’s okay.

Although the material given was a top-tier Tier Four material, extremely valuable, its use was relatively limited, one might say very few people could utilize it, selling it proves troublesome, so losing such a top material wouldn’t hurt him too much.

If using the [Ancient Curse Stone] could satisfy Ye Mingqiu, then it was indeed worth it.

“Cough, cough!”

Ji Xuankong coughed twice, then seriously said, “Regarding this matter, I feel very apologetic, but there’s a reason for this.”

“What reason?”

“Not long ago, the God of Blood was slain by an unknown strong entity, the Endless Blood Domain collapsed, and His dying obsession transmits to our world, passed to the remaining followers.”

“Those surviving believers, even though their power hasn’t increased, have been tainted by curse traits; the curse will kill them sooner, yet they can spread the curse through blood…”

At this point, Ji Xuankong’s expression became increasingly grave, continuing, “So, those people have gone mad, they weren’t good people to begin with, quite a few intend to drag more down before dying.”

“Several suicide attacks have erupted in the city suburbs, causing significant impact. Although I timely stopped them, those guys’ blood curses… are outside my ability.”

“….”

Ye Mingqiu was briefly silent, then spoke, “I possess the ability to absorb curses; if there are wounded, I can help out.”

“No.”

Ji Xuankong shook his head.

Then, his face became even gloomier, sighing, “Those guys, their attacks aren’t aimed at spiritualists but… ordinary people.”

“Ordinary people?”

“Yes, if they were spiritualists, they’d have relatively strong resistances in various aspects, wouldn’t immediately die from a curse, unable to last long though, but enough for me to rescue.”
