The Curse of Ye Lian

The distant flight of the two figures faded into the twilight, their silhouettes stretching across the mountain range.

It was a desolate and strange land, filled with unknown dangers.

However, with the power that the two of them now possessed, they could deter most of the Curse they encountered.

But many cursed servants had died under their own great karma, and Lu Yun's case was a prime example.

Therefore, he was cautious with even the smallest mission, as if he were afraid of being discovered by Ye Lian's righteous path.

"Because the amount of Soul Force is too small, the Curse that is formed is not strong, but the karma generated by the mission itself is extremely dangerous, and it is often difficult to understand."

Xia Bu's voice echoed in the air, his eyes revealing a hint of unease.

Black mist swirled around his forehead, and a faint dragon's might emanated from him.

"The damage comes entirely from Soul Force, and human greed can stimulate the potential for greed and destruction. Sometimes, the human heart is even more terrifying than the Curse."

Jia Meng's voice was deep and powerful. He looked ahead, his eyes firm.

His face was like a mirror, reflecting the darkness and light of the world.

"I understand the reason, but sometimes I don't dare to think too deeply, for fear that my belief that the cursed servants exist solely to protect the non-cursed will be shaken."

Xia Bu took a deep breath, his voice filled with emotion and a hint of struggle.

"You can only see what you want to see, Jia Meng."

Jia Meng walked towards Xia Bu, his eyes filled with pride and disbelief.

"In my opinion, you are destined to become the true master who awakens the non-cursed."

"As a master who awakens others, you yourself are more lost. Just look at the darkness in your heart; don't look elsewhere, accept yourself, Jia Meng."

Jia Meng's voice was filled with a hint of sorrow, which made Xia Bu's heart tremble slightly.

"It's because I have Jia Meng's protection that I can awaken myself..." Xia Bu's voice trembled, his eyes flashing with fear and uncertainty.

"No, I believe the Xia Bu I know is a person of flesh and blood. Sometimes he is too lonely and feels a little helpless about himself."

Jia Meng smiled and stroked his chin, his eyes filled with understanding and acceptance of Xia Bu.

"Don't worry, Jia Meng. With me here, if you ever do anything out of line, I will definitely stop you without hesitation."

Xia Bu heard this, and the corners of his mouth twitched, revealing a wry smile.

"You are truly reassuring, Jia Meng. Moreover, you are more like a master than me. I don't know when I will be corrupted by you. Fortunately, I never thought I would call you a master when I was young."

He sighed, his voice filled with a hint of relief and clarity.

"You flatter me, Jia Meng. Right now, you are more powerful than me and Ye Lian. I am increasingly unable to understand you."

Xia Bu looked at Jia Meng's eyes and sighed.

"Roughly speaking, it's not bad to have fought once. It's not a loss for me to be your subordinate. You can awaken your own potential."

Jia Meng patted Xia Bu on the shoulder.

As night fell, their figures became taller and taller in the moonlight.

The two quickly arrived at the mission location, and what entered their sight was a small village several hundred miles away.

Lu Yun couldn't see any traces of artificial modification. The Seven Seas's original production tools were still there, and time seemed to have stopped.

He walked around the village, and soon discovered a hidden secret.

The faint light of Soul Force flickered in the darkness, like the surrounding black mist.

Because the distance was only a few miles, Xia Bu was surprisingly able to summon Soul Force, and he released a wave of Curse that enveloped it.

His own power was too weak to collect it.

The entire process was seamless, and it did not attract the attention of the Seven Seas at all.

"Three miles of Curse, and it was removed by my two subordinates. It can be considered its good fortune."

Xia Bu said, his voice filled with a hint of pride.

"Seven Seas, the human hand is not enough. Fortunately, there are still many people who can help. The Curse has been resolved. I will follow Seven Seas to understand it, lest he have some doubts."

Jia Meng warned, a hint of surprise and doubt flashing in his eyes.

"I hope Seven Seas can be reborn in my hands. Awakening the potential of the cursed servants is a difficult mission. I don't know if he is wise or foolish. Wait! There are still some things."

Xia Bu suddenly knelt down, his head bowed deeply, his eyes flashing with surprise and doubt.

As Xia Bu's Curse power grew stronger, he could now clearly perceive the Curse's flaws, and even its origin.

Originally, he and Jia Meng guessed that the Soul Force was formed by the Seven Seas's obsession.

But now, after Xia Bu resolved the Soul Force, he discovered that its flaws were filled with hatred and jealousy, and obsession, but it was insignificant compared to the former.

He felt a little disappointed. Because Seven Seas seemed to be a flesh-and-blood cursed servant who was manipulated by the hands of the cursed servant, and his heart was unwilling to create Soul Force.

"The origin of things is not as the Seven Seas said."

Xia Bu sighed, his heart filled with a hint of heaviness and contemplation.

"Then, according to your thoughts, investigate the truth, Seven Seas."

Jia Meng frowned. His eyes were filled with a hint of surprise at Xia Bu's strength.

"No need for that troublesome thing. I have a better use for this Soul Force," Xia Bu said.

Xia Bu smiled faintly. His fingers flicked, and a wisp of faint, shimmering Soul Force seeped out from his fingertips.

The Soul Force took shape, resembling a translucent butterfly, its wings fluttering with a divine, spiritual aura.

"It can help people unknowingly reveal their hidden desires, and also reveal the secrets within their hearts."

"The manipulation of Soul Force is also quite comprehensive."

Jia Meng praised him, his eyes filled with admiration for Xia Bu's capabilities.

The two didn't linger or hesitate, and soon arrived at the residence of the old man of the Wei family.

Night had fallen, and the surroundings were immersed in deep silence, broken only by the occasional chirping of insects.

Xia Bu and Jia Meng hid silently in the shadows, like two dark shadows blending into the night.

Xia Bu raised his hand, his fingers gently controlling the Soul Force.

The butterfly-like Soul Force fluttered its wings and slowly flew into the old man's room.

The room was dark, with only a faint light from the moon casting a soft glow, illuminating the old man and his wife sleeping soundly.

He was sitting by a broken wooden table, his posture slumped, with a smile on his face.

The butterfly Soul Force fluttered down, landing on the bodies of the old man and his wife, and their bodies were instantly covered in a layer of spiritual light.

The moonlight shone on the faint light, casting a layer of inexplicable color on the old couple.

The old man and his wife's sleeping faces began to change, their original peaceful expressions replaced by a look of unspeakable pain.

Their eyes revealed deep pain and reluctance, as if they were being forced by an irresistible force, and their clothes seemed to reveal a deeply hidden secret.

"This... this is really... unexpected." Jia Meng said softly, his eyes filled with shock and reluctance.
