After hearing my analysis, Master looked around the forest.
It was deathly still, devoid of any life.
Yin and baleful energy faintly filled the surroundings, permeating the entire forest.
From a Feng Shui perspective, this place had already become a deadly site.
And when Nine Corpse Daoist fled, he had not simply chosen a path in panic.
He had indeed seemed to be deliberately luring us here.
Master pondered for a moment before finally making a decision.
"This place is indeed wicked.
"There are cliffs on both sides, and it doesn't look like there's any way around them.
"Fine, then we won't pursue him. Let's retreat first!"
I nodded. Master glanced into the forest, then we began running back.
At that moment, I raised my left hand and released the hand seal.
"Release the artifact, withdraw!"
In an instant, a purple-black aura spread across my arm.
The purple-black witch markings on my left hand gradually faded away, and my entire arm returned to normal.
At the same time, I sensed my dantian.
The Four Misfortune Qi Cyclone trembled.
Because I had expended a great deal of Four Misfortune Qi, although my blood and qi were still churning somewhat, it no longer posed much threat to me.
Instead, the Four Misfortune Qi Cyclone in my dantian had become extremely distinct.
I could already perceive it in a tangible way.
But I could only study that slowly afterward...
Master glanced at my hand.
"Looks like Uncle Jiang had long anticipated this day, which was why he deliberately taught you those arts back then.
"I truly never expected Four Misfortune Qi and Ancient Origin Witchcraft to be so compatible."
I looked at my hand.
"Yeah! And Master, I've discovered that I can cultivate Four Misfortune Qi now."
I spoke in a low voice.
