Chapter 386 - 386: Cross-Border Curse
In the cold and damp dungeon.
Yin Ji was tortured to the point of wanting to die. She curled up on the ground and panted slightly to ease the discomfort in her body.
Chen An looked down at Yin Ji from above and asked coldly,
“How did the Yin Domain know about your current situation? Did you inform them? How did you do it?”
Yin Ji didn’t dare to delay and immediately replied,
“In the Black Soul Hall of the Yin Region, in order to prevent his subordinates from betraying him, the Hall Master will plant a soul mark on his people under him. He can monitor the souls at any time.”
“Soul imprint?”
This was the first time Chen An had heard of such a method. He could not help but ask curiously.
He was still far too young, less than 50 years old in this world, causing his knowledge to be very limited.
The reason why he could have his current powerful strength was because of the rewards from the system.
Seeing his confusion, Yin Ji was surprised.
She endured the discomfort in her body and explained,
“A divine consciousness mark is when the caster splits a trace of his own divine consciousness and injects it into the sea of consciousness of others. From there, he can synchronize the divine consciousness of others and achieve long-range surveillance.”
“Synchronized Divine Consciousness Perception?”
Chen An frowned slightly and asked, “You mean that your conversation with me is being monitored by the Lord of the Black Soul Hall?”
Yin Ji was feeling much better now. The pain in her vital parts had lessened a lot. She said calmly, “If the Hall Master wants to, he can synchronize with my divine consciousness at any time to monitor everything here.”
Upon hearing this, Chen An instantly felt a sense of danger.
He stared at Yin Ji’s beautiful eyes and asked, “How do you erase the divine consciousness mark in your sea of consciousness?”
“The divine consciousness mark can’t be erased,” Yin Ji shook her head and said.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, she looked up at Chen An in front of her and continued, “The only way to get rid of it is to kill the Black Soul Hall Master who planted a divine consciousness mark on me.”
“Is this the only way?”
“Yes, that’s the only way.”
Yin Ji replied.
Chen An did not trust her. He condensed a drop of blood essence on his fingertip, squatted down, and brought it to Yin Ji’s mouth. He said expressionlessly,
“Open your mouth and eat it.”
“What’s this?”
“Blood Essence Enslavement.”
Hearing the word “enslavement”, Yin Ji fell silent.
Chen An’s patience was limited. He directly pried open her red lips and stuffed the blood essence on his fingertips into them.
As soon as the blood essence entered her mouth, it instantly transformed into countless strands of bloodline power that surged into Yin Ji’s body, fusing with every cell in her body and tainting her bloodline.
“All… All… It hurts!”
“Alihh—”
The moment the Blood Essence Enslavement succeeded, Yin Ji shouted in pain.
With a pained expression, she rolled on the ground a few times and only stopped when she hit the wall. She curled up like a shrimp and still let out intermittent screams.
She had always harbored ill intentions towards Chen An. This triggered the backlash effect of Blood Essence Enslavement, tormenting her until she was better off dead.
On the other side, Chen An’s body also felt uncomfortable.
Enslaving a Void Refinement Stage Cultivator consumed a little too much blood essence. It was very harmful to the body.
About a quarter of an hour later.
Both of them calmed down a little.
Chen An looked at Yin Ji, who was curled up against the wall and twitching non-stop. He reminded her indifferently,
“You’ve already been enslaved by my blood essence. As long as you don’t obey my orders or have ill intentions towards me, you’ll suffer a pain worse than death.”
Yin Ji didn’t respond.
In order to confirm the truth of Chen An’s words, she specially cursed Chen An in her heart, cursing him to die a horrible death!
Then, in the next moment, she suffered the backlash of Blood Essence Enslavement again. It was so painful that she kept banging her head against the wall crazily, and her expression was extremely painful.
“Bang… Bang… Bang!”
The sound of hitting the wall lasted for about half an hour. It only gradually stopped when there was a bloody mark on the wall.
Chen An looked at the bloodstains on the wall and thought.
Cultivators who had lost their spirit energy were not as strong as martial artists.
He took out a healing pill.
He stuffed it into Yin Ji’s saliva-stained mouth.
Helping her relieve the pain in her body.
Chen An stood up again and looked down at Yin Ji from above. He asked coldly, “What’s the method to erase the divine consciousness mark?”
He had just asked this question and received an answer.
However, he did not trust Yin Ji.
He needed to ask one more time under the restriction of Blood Essence Enslavement.
Facing this repeated question, Yin Ji did not dare to dawdle at all, afraid that she would be tortured by the Blood Essence Enslavement. She immediately replied,
“The only way to erase the divine consciousness mark is to kill the hall master of the Black Soul Hall who planted the divine consciousness mark on me.”
This was the same answer as before.
Chen An looked at Yin Ji quietly. Seeing that she did not suffer the backlash of being enslaved by blood essence, he believed that what she said was true.
After calming down a little, he planned to continue interrogating Yin Ji.
He asked her about the Yin Domain.
To know your enemy is to know yourself, and you will win a hundred battles. This was a very simple principle.
After more than an hour.
Chen An learned a lot of important information.
Two of the things that concerned him the most were:
Firstly, the leader of the Black Soul Hall was called Yin Tianchou. His cultivation was as high as the early-stage Fusion Realm.
Secondly, the cultivation of the Hall Master of the Yin Domain might be the legendary Tribulation Transcendence realm.
Just as he was about to continue interrogating…
A notification suddenly popped up in front of him.
[You enslaved Yin Ji with your blood essence. When her previous master, the Hall Master of the Black Soul Hall, found out about this, he flew into a rage and angrily smashed the two maidservants beside him to death. His hatred for you deepened. Current Hatred Points: 6 stars.]
6 stars?
Chen An looked at the contents of the notification and was surprised and shocked by the level of hatred in it.
He could break through to 6 stars at this level?
In that case, could the Relationship level of husband-and-wife and
father-and-daughter also break through to 6 stars?
Chen An was a little excited.
After calming down for a moment, his attention landed on the Black Soul Hall’s Hall Master.
He could not let the former owner of this Yin Ji live!
His hatred for him was as high as 6 stars!
He had to eliminate the root of the problem and reduce the enemy in advance!
With that thought in mind, Chen An did not hesitate at all. He directly took out the Book of Curses in front of Yin Ji and began to curse the Black Soul Hall Master from dozens of realms away.
“Yin Tianchou…”
“Yin Tianchou…”
“Yin Tianchou…”
Chen An’s expression was very dark as he kept muttering the name of the Black Soul Hall’s Hall Master.
The voice sounded very sinister, like the whisper of an evil ghost.
Yin Ji, who was still lying on the ground and panting, instantly recalled the scene of her being cursed from afar when she saw Chen An in the Yin Domain.
She realized that she had probably been cursed by Chen An back then.
With his Void Refinement cultivation and the support of the Book of Curses, Chen An’s curse quickly came to an end. A notification popped up in front of him.
[Under your curse, Yin Tianchou suddenly went berserk and started a massacre in the Black Soul Hall under his jurisdiction. He killed everyone he saw and alarmed the other hall masters of the Yin Domain. He was suppressed by dozens of hall masters. In the end, he chose to explode, killing one hall master and severely injuring five hall masters..]
