Chapter 1127: Another Use of Curse Technique

Lu Yang didn't know many people at Xitian Temple, with Immortal Suiyue being one. However, for such a minor matter, he didn't need to trouble Immortal Suiyue. Instead, Lu Yang directly contacted Master Mingyu, the abbot of Xitian Temple, who had already learned of Lu Yang's identity through Immortal Suiyue.

Initially, when Lu Yang sent people to Xitian Temple, Abbot Mingyu was grateful to Lu Yang for helping the Buddhist Kingdom eliminate hidden dangers.

But as Lu Yang sent more and more people, Abbot Mingyu's gaze towards him changed. It was as if he was asking, "How can you keep sending people here? Do you have something against our Buddhist Kingdom?"

Although Lu Yang repeatedly tried to explain that it was due to the Buddhist Kingdom's poor management, not him, he clearly couldn't convince Abbot Mingyu. Fortunately, when Lu Yang investigated the seventh clue, he finally found the main culprit.

Lu Yang was worried the seventh clue would directly point to Xitian Temple; that would have been impossible to explain.

"I'm telling you, the security in this Buddhist Kingdom is just terrible," Immortal Fairy said, championing Lu Yang's cause and trying to persuade everyone.

"We came to the Buddhist Kingdom just to investigate a curse, and look how many people we've found. When were things ever like this back in Great Xia?""Mmm-hmm!" The various patterns on the white robe shifted, nodding in earnest agreement with Immortal Fairy's viewpoint.

"Bone Cultivator, right? Are you going to tell me what happened willingly, or do I have to beat it out of you?""You caught six Integration stage cultivators? Who are you trying to fool!" Bone Cultivator was stunned at first, then immediately furious.

"How is that possible? Integration stage cultivators are incredibly powerful, peerless beings even he found difficult to meet, let alone associate with. How could anyone just capture them, and six at once?"

Bone Cultivator's bell ringing grew louder, becoming deafening. Although he was only at the early God Transformation stage, he wielded an extremely rare cursing technique, making even late God Transformation cultivators unwilling to confront him.

Now, by spreading his curse through projection orbs and observing the reactions of those afflicted, he had gained new insights. His cursing technique had reached a higher level, making him invincible among God Transformation stage cultivators!

However, Lu Yang was not afraid of cursing techniques at all. Not only was he an immortal now, but even if he weren't, he could use the 'Heaven-Defying Name Change' technique to alter causality and evade curses.

"Misfortune will surely cling to you!" Bone Cultivator yelled, frantically shaking his bell.

The moment the power released by the bell touched Lu Yang, the bell cracked and broke into two pieces!

"How is this possible!" Bone Cultivator gasped in shock, spitting up blood. His life-bound bell had actually suffered a backlash!

This meant the opponent's destiny was beyond measure, something he simply couldn't touch!

Before Lu Yang could even act, the Qiongqi totem on the white robe floated to Lu Yang's chest. With a fierce glare from its tiger eyes, Bone Cultivator's body stiffened, his hair stood on end, as if he had been targeted by an ancient fiend, leaving him unable to move.

Bone Cultivator was terrified, too scared to even twitch. He roared internally, "What kind of method is this? It's unheard of! Who is this person, and why are they looking for me?!"

Lu Yang completely ignored Bone Cultivator, leaving him frozen in place. He casually walked around the cave, observing Bone Cultivator's living environment. The cave was messy, indicating that Bone Cultivator lived a rather unkempt life.

Next, Lu Yang picked up a book from the table and flipped through a couple of pages. "It seems these are your insights on cursing techniques."

"As expected, he's spreading the curses through projection orbs," Qing He said, frowning with displeasure as she used her divine sense to read the book, easily grasping the underlying principle. "If this method falls into the wrong hands, it could lead to widespread curses, and that would be disastrous."

Jin Caiwei glared fiercely at the book. The Qiongqi clan had finally managed to make money through projection orbs, and now someone was using her orbs to commit evil and harm so many people. It was truly despicable.

If she weren't so concerned about her image, she would have transformed into her original form and torn the book to shreds.

"Alright, alright, Senior Caiwei, this book is actually a treasure," Lu Yang said, smiling as he appeased Jin Caiwei. He could feel the murderous aura emanating from her.

"Huh? A treasure? What do you mean?" Jin Caiwei was bewildered by Lu Yang's words.

"I'm thinking that using projection orbs to spread curses is a good idea.""What?" Qing He thought she misheard.

"Senior Qing He, cursing techniques can cause illness, right?"

"Yes, why do you ask?"

Lu Yang stroked his chin and asked a question Qing He had never considered: "It's often said that spells are neutral, with no inherent good or evil. So, could I use a cursing technique in reverse, to curse someone to live a long life?"

Qing He's expression was peculiar. Throughout history, cursing techniques had always been used to bring bad luck upon others.

But the problem was that Lu Yang wasn't just idly speculating; from the principles of cursing techniques, it seemed entirely plausible to bring good fortune to others. "It seems... possible."

Receiving Qing He's confirmation, excitement gleamed in Lu Yang's eyes: "Then can I use projection orbs to spread a cursing technique that curses everyone to be healthy, live long, and have a hundred years of life?"

Qing He gasped, her expression serious. "It seems... that's also possible."

"Master, I've caught the person." Lu Yang dragged the person to Xitian Temple.

Master Mingyu's eye twitched. He didn't even want to count how many people Lu Yang had caught. He tentatively asked, "That's everyone, right?""Yes!"

"Good," Master Mingyu sighed in relief. Lu Yang would come, catch one person, then come again and catch a pair, as if he knew exactly where the problems were and went straight for them.

"Amitabha. Spreading cursing techniques, indeed. Donor Lu, rest assured, this person will be handled by Xitian Temple."

***

"Why were we discovered when our conversation in the secret room was going so well?!" Brother Zhikai angrily thumped his leg, full of regret. He couldn't figure out how they had been found.

And even now, they didn't know who had caught them.

"Tell me about it. I've falsified receipts countless times and never been caught, but this time, I was!"

"When I was caught, I heard that person muttering to himself, saying he was originally looking for cursed projection orbs but ended up tracking us down through records of bulk purchases."

"So, this was a completely unforeseen disaster!"

"Sigh, bad luck. What can we do? Just accept it."

With a creak, the iron cell door opened, and Bone Cultivator was pushed inside.

"Oh, a newcomer. Your cultivation is quite low. What did you do?" The prisoners, feeling their own luck was terrible, wanted to find someone equally unfortunate to balance their mindset.

Bone Cultivator offered a fawning smile: "Greetings, big brothers. This junior was bored and tried combining cursing techniques with projection orbs, and that's how I got caught."

As soon as he said this, the cell fell into dead silence.

"Wh-What's wrong?" Bone Cultivator asked, trying to smile. He felt that after explaining, their gazes towards him had changed.

The Integration stage cultivators, their expressions unfriendly, advanced step by step, cornering Bone Cultivator against the wall.
