Jiang Hao was in the room adjacent to Shangguan Qingsu and the others. He sat within a formation and was able to perceive the changes in their curses.

The formation given to him by Hong Yuye was indeed quite remarkable. Now, he could sense the condition of the three people and even feel the flow of their energy.

The curses seemed to originate from their primordial spirits and bloodline, gather on their foreheads, and then spread out. Their bodies were warped under the curse’s influence as if it were twisting their flesh and primordial spirits. It made them helpless.

He could hear a m.u.f.fled sound. Maybe the three people were biting on something to endure the pain.

It wasn’t that Jiang Hao couldn’t stop it. He wanted these people to experience pain so that he could suppress their suffering completely.

This way, they wouldn’t think that he was lying. It would save him a lot of trouble.

About a quarter of an hour pa.s.sed, and Jiang Hao calmly took out the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl. He placed it within the formation.

He allowed the curse on the other side to sense the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl.

On the other side, Shangguan Qingsu and the two men remained seated cross-legged.

However, they grimaced in pain and struggled.

A m.u.f.fled sound rang out. The pain was unbearable.

A dim red glow appeared on their foreheads, extended all over their bodies, and dimmed again with each breath. Every breath was agonizing. It seemed like a fate worse than death.

“Shameless liar!” Shangguan Qingsu gritted her teeth.

It was futile. They had been deceived by Smiling San Sheng. It was their own impatience that had led to this. They should have tried to find out more about the person.

“How can you say that, Senior? I’m sincere about this deal,” said Jiang Hao from the other room. “The pain is only temporary. I’ll make a move now.”

Shangguan Qingsu and the two men no longer believed Jiang Hao. They believed the curse couldn’t be stopped. They had consulted many people and couldn’t suppress it even slightly. However, as doubt appeared in their minds, they suddenly went still.

The pain seemed to disappear all of a sudden. Moreover, the red glow of the curses on their foreheads also dimmed, and the curses seemed to retract swiftly until only the imprints on their foreheads remained. Even the forehead marks disappeared after a while. It felt as though the curse was…

The curse was fleeing!

The sudden change left them in disbelief as if they had imagined it. They had used so many ways to try and find a cure. Was this real?

They couldn’t understand how their curse had been dispelled. With the pain gone, they felt a need to possess whatever treasure had made this possible.

But soon, they suppressed this greed. Now wasn’t the time. They would wait until tomorrow.

After a moment of calm, they realized the curse’s effects had truly disappeared. Not only had the pain subsided, but they also felt they could use their full power. This was quite unbelievable.

For a moment, they suspected whether the curse had naturally dissipated, and Smiling San Sheng was just taking the credit for it to deceive them.

The three of them glanced at each other. Finally, the middle-aged man moved one step outside the formation.

In an instant, his forehead glowed with a dark red light, and the power of the curse spread throughout his body.

“Ahhhh! ”

His face twisted in agony once again. He bent over in pain and fell to the ground. He couldn’t even stand up.

Shangguan Qingsu and the other man turned pale. They were terrified when they saw the middle-aged man struggling to crawl back into the formation.

“Seniors, it seems you don’t trust me,” said Jiang Hao from next door.

Shangguan Qingsu dared not speak. When the middle-aged man crawled back into the formation, the curse was once again suppressed.

They confirmed that Jiang Hao indeed had the ability to nullify the curse. After

much hesitation, Shangguan Qingsu suddenly asked, “Fellow disciple, do you have a way to remove the curse from our bodies?”

“I don’t.” Jiang Hao shook his head.

He had asked Hong Yuye about it, but she hadn’t responded, which meant it was impossible.

He could also ask Gui. But he was hesitant to ask her. What if she demanded a price that he couldn’t pay?

“What about further suppression?” Shangguan Qingsu persisted.

“Naturally, there’s no way to do it. I can only do this once,” Jiang Hao said. Giving them hope would only make them cling to him.

Shangguan Qingsu looked at the middle-aged man writhing on the ground and fell silent. There was no further exchange between the two sides. This situation had to be maintained for a full day and night. They would have to wait here until the next night.

In the adjacent room, Jiang Hao sat cross-legged in silence.

He took out Nine Nether from his pocket. There would be problems if it was away from the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl for too long.

Jiang Hao waited for the right moment. He wanted to appraise Shangguan Qingsu and see if she had any intention of making a move against him.

If they decided to make a move, they would learn that there were always stronger individuals out there. Even within the inn, there was Hong Yuye.

The next morning, on the coast, Mr. Tao sat high on a fis.h.i.+ng platform accompanied by a young woman, Tang Ya.

“Mr. Tao, what’s the point of fis.h.i.+ng? It’s so boring.”

“Fis.h.i.+ng can help cultivate one’s temperament.” Mr. Tao smiled. “Zhu Shen would have been quieter than you if he was here.”

“In that case, Mr. Tao, please don’t bring me along next time. I didn’t want to come out,” Tang Ya said helplessly. “Your conversation is too hard to follow, and there’s too much scheming and no fighting.”

“Did you see Smiling San Sheng before?” Mr. Tao suddenly asked.

“Yes. I gave him a bell. I thought he was a good business partner,” Tang Ya said. “Do you want to get to know him? He is only at the Return to Void Realm. We don’t need to worry, right?”

“What do you think my cultivation realm is?” Mr. Tao asked.

“Return to Void Realm. You suppressed it as a part of your disguise,” said Tang Ya without hesitation.

“In that case…” Mr. Tao smiled meaningfully.

“In that case, what?” Tang Ya asked curiously.

Mr. Tao didn’t explain further. “Never mind.”

“When is Senior Zhu coming? I want to switch with him,” Tang Ya said. “It should be soon, but you can’t do what he can. Bear with me for a while.”

Mr. Tao laughed.

“Mr. Zhu, all the people have been brought aboard.”

Zhu Shen stood on the deck and gazed into the distance through the fog.

At that moment, a large s.h.i.+p in front of him was forced to stop because people from other forces had also arrived. He had to get on the s.h.i.+p before the others.

Entering the fog was a bit risky, but it was worth it.

There were too many people outside.

He glanced at the people on the deck, and among them, the leading figures were an old and a young woman.

They looked at him in shock.

“Mr. Zhu, what do you mean by this?” the old woman asked warily.

“It seems you’ve met a formidable enemy. Your Surveillance Eye is gone. This saves me some trouble,” Zhu Shen said calmly.

After that, he took a step forward and headed toward the large s.h.i.+p.

“Everyone, gather on the deck. Or else, don’t blame me for being brutal.” Zhu Shen’s voice reverberated throughout the s.h.i.+p..
