The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine
Chapter 1166 - Chapter 1166 Chapter 1166 The Curse

Chapter 1166: Chapter 1166: The Curse Chapter 1166: Chapter 1166: The Curse Huang Xiaolong’s eyes narrowed as he looked down at Dragon Island, and his nearly invincible divine sense immediately covered every inch of the island.

“Little Long, what’s the matter?” Ma Chuxia was also somewhat distraught with concern.

The Sect Master of Emei hastily said by the side, “Master, are you perhaps worrying too much? Dragon Island is calm and undisturbed, and the defensive formation is unbreakable.”

“Lurking on Dragon Island is a terrifying presence,” Huang Xiaolong frowned deeply, “It’s extremely terrifying.”

All four of Huang Xiaolong’s wives were alarmed at his words.

They all knew full well the extent of Huang Xiaolong’s capabilities, and for him to describe something as “extremely terrifying,” it was a rarity in this world! Even when facing the supremely powerful Ling Feng, the late-stage Celestial phenomena realm Sect Master of Shushan Sword Sect, Huang Xiaolong had never used words like “terrifying.”

“Let’s go, we shall head down first!”

With a thought, Huang Xiaolong opened Dragon Island’s layered defensive formations, leading everyone down directly, and precisely landed outside the Wulong Villa.

No sooner had they landed, a group of people rushed out from the Wulong Villa!

Zhan Tang! Mr. Dongfang!

And many of Huang Xiaolong’s other wives, Sun Wei, Shirley Bai, Lin Jing, Cui Feiyan… and so on, their faces brimming with intense longing, came running over.

There were also Lin Zicong and others.

At first glance, everyone seemed lively and unharmed.

Moreover, during this time, everyone must have been practicing diligently, as the mana fluctuations emanating from their bodies indicated their remarkable progress.

Even more gratifying was that, nourished by the dragon veins, each of them had inherited a significant amount of dragon power, which made them all full of vitality, with unimaginable strength contained within their bodies.

Looking over the entire Dragon Island, everything was as usual, the atmosphere was harmonious, amicable, peaceful… it seemed like a sheltered haven from the world.

This was not at all like what Huang Xiaolong said, that something had happened to Dragon Island.

“Ah! Pianpian, Hanyan, Chuxia, Bingyan! You all came back?” The wives who had stayed on Dragon Island also noticed Ma Chuxia and the others immediately.

The sisters reunited with laughter all around.

After warmly embracing the wives who had stayed behind, Huang Xiaolong pulled Mr. Dongfang and Zhan Tang aside.

“Congratulations, Island Master! Best wishes, Island Master!” Mr. Dongfang’s face glowed with excitement. “Island Master, you’ve risen to the top of the Hidden Dragon List with unparalleled speed, defeating the peerless genius Nangong Hong… You are truly mighty and invincible!”

“Island Master, your exploits are now spreading throughout the entire overseas cultivator world, creating a sensation! It has also greatly enhanced the reputation of Dragon Island. Nowadays, Loose Cultivators seeking to join Dragon Island arrive in droves every day!” Zhan Tang also said proudly. “The Island Master once said that he wanted to turn Dragon Island into a top-notch sect in the overseas world, and it seems that was no idle claim!”

“Heh, I didn’t expect you to find out so quickly about my exploits on the Hidden Dragon List,” Huang Xiaolong smiled, but then his brow furrowed. “During the time I was away from Dragon Island, did anyone come to the island?”

“No.” Both Zhan Tang and Mr. Dongfang shook their heads in unison.

Zhan Tang added, “Island Master, as per your instructions, we have been steadfastly guarding the defensive array, never opening it. Hence, though there were many who wanted to come to Dragon Island, they were kept at bay by the defensive array. And no one dared to attack the defensive array to force their way in.”

“Island Master, the defensive formation that you set up on Dragon Island is such that even Celestial phenomena realm powerhouses have difficulty breaking through. Besides, there’s the overwhelming offensive formation that can sweep away all enemies, so if any foes dared to attack, we could trigger the formation and directly annihilate them,” Mr. Dongfang also said. “Rest assured, Island Master, no one has come to Dragon Island. In this period, everything has been very normal; everyone has been engaged in diligent cultivation. Not a single problem has arisen.”

“Everything normal, safe and sound…” Huang Xiaolong shook his head slightly and then announced in a clear voice, “I want to call an immediate meeting.”

“Yes, Island Master.”

…

Not long after, hundreds of people took their seats in a large meeting hall within the Wolong Villa.

The people from the Emei Sect were arranged to rest in another separate courtyard.

“Greetings, Island Master!” hundreds of voices rang out loudly.

Each one of them emanated a robust aura, concealing their bravery.

“Hmm~~” Huang Xiaolong’s divine sense swept over everyone present.

“As I suspected, something has indeed happened. But it has happened within Long Island itself,” a cold glint burst forth in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes.

After a pause, Huang Xiaolong continued, “You’ve all been afflicted by a very strange curse.”

Curse?

The meeting hall fell deathly silent!

Then, the hundreds of people looked around at each other, their faces full of confusion.

“Little Long, you can’t be serious?” Lin Jing furrowed her delicate brows. “These days, no one has violated Long Island, our daily routine has been problem-free… With daily cultivation, our states are improving day by day, our mana becoming purer by the day. In inheriting the dragon power, we’ve also all been doing it step by step… A curse? Could there be some curse capable of entering Long Island’s defensive formation from afar and being laid upon us?”

“Given Long Island’s defenses, no one could silently breach the defensive formation and curse you from a distance,” Huang Xiaolong said with great confidence, having laid out the formations himself.

After another pause, Huang Xiaolong went on, “It’s someone on Long Island who easily cast the curse on you.”

These words sent a chill down everyone’s spine!

“Island Master, do you mean~~ we have a spy amongst us on Long Island?” Zhan Tang asked with a deep sense of dread.

“A spy?” Huang Xiaolong laughed, “There can’t be a spy. I sense that there’s an extremely terrifying presence hidden on Long Island. This presence is even more potent and terrifying than the late-stage giants of the Heavenly Dao incarnation realm… It’s this person who has cursed you.”

As he spoke, Huang Xiaolong’s eyes were filled with a chilling killing intent, he murmured, “To dare make trouble on my turf, good, very good~~~ But since I’ve returned, I will tear you to pieces! You’ve touched my reverse scale!”

“Little Long, what curse have we been inflicted with?” Su Xiaoman asked anxiously.

“This curse has been mingled within the dragon power you’ve been inheriting. Once you’ve inherited a certain amount of dragon power, the curse will erupt, causing an instant explosion of the dragon power within your bodies, and as a result, you will be turned to dust, your souls utterly extinguished,” Huang Xiaolong said through clenched teeth. “It’s an extremely domineering curse…”

Everyone was struck with fear.

Suddenly, Huang Xiaolong smiled, “But don’t worry, there’s no danger for now, as the amount of dragon power you’ve inherited is not enough to trigger the curse. Fortunately, I have returned in time. Now, issue my order, halt the dragon power inheritance ceremony immediately.”

“Little Long, it’s easy to avoid open attacks but hard to guard against hidden ones. Who is cursing us? And how did they infiltrate our Long Island?” Cui Feiyan was a bit panicked.

After thinking for a moment, Ma Chuxia interjected, “Little Long, could it be some ancient giant from the Immortal Realm sneaked onto Long Island without anyone knowing and cursed the people here?”

“For now, it’s still unclear. However, I’ve already sensed his presence!” A sharp light flashed in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes. “Everyone, do not panic. Tonight, I will personally root out that person. Once I’ve set my sights on him, he won’t be able to escape!”
