The fervent Haori True Qi burned relentlessly, devoid of any taint of curse.
23Please respect copyright.PENANAnszz47tPD4
This inscrutable sensation left Xander Thorne somewhat displeased. He called upon the Oracle for guidance.
23Please respect copyright.PENANAO28lEHFPqz
"Oracle, can thou locate the wielder of this power?"
23Please respect copyright.PENANAPgzHGLFmCi
The Oracle's voice resonated swiftly.
23Please respect copyright.PENANA6oPNmUmoQV
Ding... O seeker, aye, 'tis possible, but 'twill cost 1000 Fates.
23Please respect copyright.PENANA6iVo4CZmfk
"So much?"
23Please respect copyright.PENANA0tOAtzduzz
Xander Thorne's lips twitched. After numerous instances of significant Fate expenditure, his remaining balance dwindled.
23Please respect copyright.PENANAR1vuNuBchi
Reluctantly, he expended the last remnants of his Fate. He needed to ascertain who was cursing him from the shadows.
23Please respect copyright.PENANAYMMXHGwGBw
His field of vision gradually shifted like a vortex. Through layers of mist, it ultimately settled on an unknown cave.
23Please respect copyright.PENANAjfgYR02zmo
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.
23Please respect copyright.PENANAxjuuL70TTY
Is it him?
23Please respect copyright.PENANA6SwabsEKJQ
Xander Thorne pondered silently.
23Please respect copyright.PENANAgV9AZDtJrz
The man's countenance was furrowed with worry, his demeanor profound as if he had experienced countless ages of sedimentation.
23Please respect copyright.PENANAePBKcUiuWO
All occurrences in the fragments of memory seemed as if they had never transpired.
23Please respect copyright.PENANAO0aFQESheZ
Only seen by Xander, Sirius Calloway gazed at him with concern, clearly distressed.
23Please respect copyright.PENANAf8cMuIR4SN
"Master! Art thou well? Why standeth thee like a statue?"
23Please respect copyright.PENANAM1DDeXCJbp
"This is dire. Hath thy cultivation addled thy mind?"
23Please respect copyright.PENANAEctBzssucR
Xander Thorne remained composed, somewhat exasperated.
23Please respect copyright.PENANAzyXDRFY8lM
"Silence, Sirius."
23Please respect copyright.PENANAFVMi4FO1hQ
Sirius was momentarily stunned, then his expression turned ecstatic, changing as quickly as flipping a page. He hastily spoke.
23Please respect copyright.PENANAQkBu45dL5K
"Master! What ails thee?"
23Please respect copyright.PENANA6FPyUPibfa
"I've been shouting myself hoarse, yet thou standest like a statue."
23Please respect copyright.PENANAcE6vAGM6HD
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.
23Please respect copyright.PENANAjZuBYUnWMK
After integrating the fragments of memory, Xander Thorne realized that the mysterious black qi that had invaded his body originated from this black tome!
23Please respect copyright.PENANARfz2GP3p9a
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.
23Please respect copyright.PENANAdKd5e9SdwP
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.
23Please respect copyright.PENANArYWtStIisU
He opened his eyes abruptly, his internal Qi in disarray, coughing up blood.
23Please respect copyright.PENANAOZn6z1Fl7A
A look of incredulity crossed his face as he muttered incessantly.
23Please respect copyright.PENANAXFVlY257yZ
"How could he have detected my cursed tome and disrupted it?!"
23Please respect copyright.PENANAZyzV4J9cvM
"This is impossible!"
23Please respect copyright.PENANAswZplztEeE
"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!"
23Please respect copyright.PENANAWz6bIvYOAz
"This scion of an ancient clan is truly terrifying!"
23Please respect copyright.PENANAo3UNYfOYUS
The young man thought, his heart still in turmoil.
23Please respect copyright.PENANAOksAj66y84
Meanwhile, Xander Thorne witnessed everything clearly.
23Please respect copyright.PENANAzZ1kcjV923
A cursed tome?
23Please respect copyright.PENANAUdVJDAGuZ7
Xander Thorne frowned, scrutinizing the young man's face.
23Please respect copyright.PENANAoHp4EbSnt9
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.
23Please respect copyright.PENANA7VX2G9iIZT
The scene fell silent for a moment, and Xander Thorne didn't mind waiting a few minutes.
23Please respect copyright.PENANA627SLUjny8
If he could obtain the Heavenly Fire, it would be for the best.
23Please respect copyright.PENANAVDOzYuYApW
This transaction was still very profitable.
23Please respect copyright.PENANA3BMf048ZxN
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.
23Please respect copyright.PENANAhVnNXwg0Rp
Only Xander Thorne perceived this targeted force.
23Please respect copyright.PENANAXB4HyWpLqi
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.
23Please respect copyright.PENANA46uTEA9DCR
"What is this power?"
23Please respect copyright.PENANAUlYXLMYTkO
Xander Thorne tried to contact the black aura and was immediately met with a strong death aura.
23Please respect copyright.PENANAylFo0FNfbU
Merely touching it for a moment caused his lifespan to decrease by three years!
23Please respect copyright.PENANA0zFRMFfjiD
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.
23Please respect copyright.PENANArbLA98T7kT
His Oracle's Sky Blood surged violently, unleashing an intensely hot force that submerged the black aura.
23Please respect copyright.PENANA5wRNWy6JDK
The extremely evil curse immediately emitted cracking sounds, and the misfortune dissipated along with it.
23Please respect copyright.PENANASPKEMBgfKA
At this moment, Xander Thorne understood what was happening.
23Please respect copyright.PENANAn5FqdRFW24
Someone was cursing him?
23Please respect copyright.PENANA5rE1jslz44
Even Sirius couldn't perceive Xander Thorne's unstable blood and Qi, asking, "What's wrong?"
23Please respect copyright.PENANA69ouKP03bX
Xander Thorne shook his head, his eyes flashing as he said, "Nothing."
23Please respect copyright.PENANAW4nZNBnGxD
Even Sirius couldn't perceive the power.
23Please respect copyright.PENANAO1RLoBV647
Who was cursing him behind his back?
23Please respect copyright.PENANAHKZcSPGWg8
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.
