The fervent Haori True Qi burned relentlessly, devoid of any taint of curse.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAJzcBtWCb1S
This inscrutable sensation left Xander Thorne somewhat displeased. He called upon the Oracle for guidance.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAm2VBwQd7tM
"Oracle, can thou locate the wielder of this power?"
29Please respect copyright.PENANAwhrxwjgyaI
The Oracle's voice resonated swiftly.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAF9ytevfY1n
Ding... O seeker, aye, 'tis possible, but 'twill cost 1000 Fates.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAXgKUbeRrsT
"So much?"
29Please respect copyright.PENANAZdnaqcttyu
Xander Thorne's lips twitched. After numerous instances of significant Fate expenditure, his remaining balance dwindled.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAryEDV15Vqi
Reluctantly, he expended the last remnants of his Fate. He needed to ascertain who was cursing him from the shadows.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAGZsOF8LFFd
His field of vision gradually shifted like a vortex. Through layers of mist, it ultimately settled on an unknown cave.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAvSlzEXDwPY
The cave was rather simple, containing only essential spiritual stones, medicinal herbs, and a pill furnace. Seated on a mat was a man in plain attire, who would easily blend into a crowd unnoticed.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAkbXoxka54n
Is it him?
29Please respect copyright.PENANAN5TmPmKyAN
Xander Thorne pondered silently.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAJs4IHme9C6
The man's countenance was furrowed with worry, his demeanor profound as if he had experienced countless ages of sedimentation.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAK6h6QFfqJ8
All occurrences in the fragments of memory seemed as if they had never transpired.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAQLDpINQ1Db
Only seen by Xander, Sirius Calloway gazed at him with concern, clearly distressed.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAKEJ8QZvxRp
"Master! Art thou well? Why standeth thee like a statue?"
29Please respect copyright.PENANAcpUzzOKhM6
"This is dire. Hath thy cultivation addled thy mind?"
29Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0W2ucMLJE
Xander Thorne remained composed, somewhat exasperated.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAAkEJTYsfXd
"Silence, Sirius."
29Please respect copyright.PENANALauqAM9mmV
Sirius was momentarily stunned, then his expression turned ecstatic, changing as quickly as flipping a page. He hastily spoke.
29Please respect copyright.PENANA3T4VgdYyVK
"Master! What ails thee?"
29Please respect copyright.PENANAgBzfxOpuyG
"I've been shouting myself hoarse, yet thou standest like a statue."
29Please respect copyright.PENANADoFUibJZ7l
Xander Thorne couldn't be bothered to explain further. He gazed ahead, and before he knew it, he had arrived at the Thorne family estate.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAnivjLC9n6A
After integrating the fragments of memory, Xander Thorne realized that the mysterious black qi that had invaded his body originated from this black tome!
29Please respect copyright.PENANA298JaLk9aK
The man in green controlled the black tome with his True Qi, and as the True Qi receded, the tome gradually calmed like an ordinary book.
29Please respect copyright.PENANA3FuFi2av2d
The young man's forehead was covered in cold sweat. Suddenly, his complexion changed, turning pale as if interrupted by something, his face drained of color.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAJBCxyHcZv7
He opened his eyes abruptly, his internal Qi in disarray, coughing up blood.
29Please respect copyright.PENANA2O5Nrn3tyz
A look of incredulity crossed his face as he muttered incessantly.
29Please respect copyright.PENANARoOya8MGqE
"How could he have detected my cursed tome and disrupted it?!"
29Please respect copyright.PENANADBDKum4535
"This is impossible!"
29Please respect copyright.PENANABi3YsfxVKL
"Ever since I obtained this cursed tome, it has brought me nothing but fortune, killing without leaving a trace, and I've never been detected by anyone!"
29Please respect copyright.PENANAiWXy1k6da8
"This scion of an ancient clan is truly terrifying!"
29Please respect copyright.PENANAGNWaErJ0jJ
The young man thought, his heart still in turmoil.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAakuiZql4Ne
Meanwhile, Xander Thorne witnessed everything clearly.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAgnmQl6dcRo
A cursed tome?
29Please respect copyright.PENANAQdnHR0vS44
Xander Thorne frowned, scrutinizing the young man's face.
29Please respect copyright.PENANARku4l7b9Tp
He had never seen this person before, and even if Sirius informed Xander Thorne that he was the son of Thornius, with some connection to the Calloway family, Xander Thorne would still try to see if he could forcibly take Sirius away despite offending the divine scion of the Thorne family.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAJiQAPz8Cte
The scene fell silent for a moment, and Xander Thorne didn't mind waiting a few minutes.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAjlO51MEl42
If he could obtain the Heavenly Fire, it would be for the best.
29Please respect copyright.PENANATabO1SSuik
This transaction was still very profitable.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAetI3X67vDt
At this moment, an inexplicable force poured into Xander Thorne's body without anyone noticing, carrying a thick evil curse, as if to melt his blood and flesh.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAwFQm1Etyqf
Only Xander Thorne perceived this targeted force.
29Please respect copyright.PENANApmvavAW6KC
His expression changed, but the curse was not strong enough. After entering the Oracle's Sky Divine Body, it was firmly locked down by Xander Thorne's Oracle's Sky True Qi, unable to erode him in the slightest.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAXf0St4Oktj
"What is this power?"
29Please respect copyright.PENANABAtSRH5TRw
Xander Thorne tried to contact the black aura and was immediately met with a strong death aura.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAFU9OXSgbOG
Merely touching it for a moment caused his lifespan to decrease by three years!
29Please respect copyright.PENANAaiHNm1lIIm
Not only that, he felt a sense of foreboding, as if enveloped by some misfortune. He activated his Oracle's Sky True Qi, attempting to expel this force, but it clung to him like a bone maggot, persistent and unyielding.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAeoMvMlU1uo
His Oracle's Sky Blood surged violently, unleashing an intensely hot force that submerged the black aura.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAPyGLkCz5kV
The extremely evil curse immediately emitted cracking sounds, and the misfortune dissipated along with it.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAPYWHhFO6pz
At this moment, Xander Thorne understood what was happening.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAqJBwrtZDSl
Someone was cursing him?
29Please respect copyright.PENANAKmvw0utEwz
Even Sirius couldn't perceive Xander Thorne's unstable blood and Qi, asking, "What's wrong?"
29Please respect copyright.PENANAzO9QyxdgwC
Xander Thorne shook his head, his eyes flashing as he said, "Nothing."
29Please respect copyright.PENANAJnlVEMsweW
Even Sirius couldn't perceive the power.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAo6FrIBwvSD
Who was cursing him behind his back?
29Please respect copyright.PENANABhzpv7cgBt
This extremely evil force, if it weren't for a cultivator like Xander Thorne, would probably go unnoticed by ordinary people and would unwittingly afflict them.
