Chapter 838: 823 Magic Plane 31

"Let’s shake them off, don’t waste time on them. It’s forbidden to hurt or kill people in the city, and if we get caught, it’ll be troublesome," Xia Xi said, glancing over her shoulder at their followers.

Ever since they left the Mercenary Guild, someone had been tailing them, likely due to the wealth they had inadvertently flaunted, giving rise to unsavory thoughts among some.

"Someone is following us? Are they planning to steal from us or rob us?" Xia Yue asked, looking at them.

"Either is possible," Yan Mo responded.

"How dare they follow me, I curse their next actions to be fraught with misfortune," Wei Se’s eyes flickered with a hint of silver light, his hands forming a spellcasting gesture as he murmured an incantation.

In a blink of an eye, a small beam of light emerged from his fingertip and flew towards the stalkers.

"Alright, let’s head back. No need to pay them any more attention, they’re probably too preoccupied with their own issues now," Wei Se said with a clap of his hands and a smile.

"Wei Se, what did you do to them?" On the way back, Xia Yue asked, her curiosity piqued.

"A curse," Wei Se replied.

"Just like the one you placed on those sorcerers before?" Xia Yue pressed on.

"Not as high-level. It’s just a simple prank. But for them, it should be enough unless they turn to goodness in the future; as long as they harbor evil thoughts, the curse will trigger," Wei Se explained with a chuckle.

"That’s quite handy, can it be used widely? If I catch those wrongdoers, I won’t have to worry about how to deal with them anymore. I could just place this curse on them, and if they want to live a good life, they’ll have to behave," Xia Xi considered, looking at Wei Se. She’d caught quite a few demons with Spiritual Wisdom recently. Killing them didn’t feel right, but letting them go raised concerns they might continue their wicked ways. And locking them up wasn’t viable due to space constraints.

"It’s possible, but the duration will depend on your strength. The curse I’ve placed will last at least two to three hundred years. Someone with your grandmother’s strength could enforce it for about ten years at most. Unless you become stronger, the duration will extend with each new curse," Wei Se nodded, offering further explanation, then added, "Judging by your grandmother’s strength, she could hex about twenty people. Any more would be harmful to her as well."

"So the widespread application actually depends on individual strength," Xia Xi concluded.

"Correct," Wei Se affirmed.

"There’s still much to consider," Xia Xi sighed.

"Good and evil are often a matter of perspective; depending on where you stand, you see things differently. There are many situations where you cannot be sure of what’s right or wrong. Besides, you mentioned that the Spiritual Qi in your area is slowly reviving, right? How can you be so sure that what those people are doing isn’t somehow justifiable? In the future society, might could make right, and their strength could be seen as righteousness," Wei Se spoke with an air of detachment, casting a worldly gaze upon them.

"You make a good point. I won’t fret over it anymore," Xia Xi said after a moment of silence, her gaze firm.

"I don’t know about other countries, but in Xia Dragon Country, those at the top will definitely try their best to protect the lives of the common people," Yan Mo said, looking at Wei Se.

"Telling me this is pointless. I just hope the higher-ups really maintain that mindset. After all, it’s what’s best for the common people," Wei Se paused and then smiled as he spoke.

After that, no one spoke again until they returned to their hotel room.

Once back in their suite, they each retreated to their respective rooms.
