Chapter 175: Chapter 172: Mu De’s Calculations; Breaking the Curse Technique

Su Xiaotong’s headache subsided after a while, and her expression once again became vacant. She seemed not to see Qin Zhao and Qin Yu, walking toward the door as if no one else was there.

"Take this with you."

Qin Zhao handed over an Invisibility Talisman to Qin Yu, they couldn’t afford to be discovered when following Su Xiaotong.

Otherwise, if the other party ended the Curse Technique, they would lose him.

"What is this?"

"A disposable Invisibility Talisman."

Qin Yu was surprised for a moment, and then, as Su Xiaotong had already opened the door and left, he quickly used the Invisibility Talisman and followed her together with Qin Zhao.

Su Xiaotong pressed the elevator button and arrived on the first floor.

After walking out of the residential complex, a black van was parked outside.

Mu De, sitting in the van, saw Su Xiaotong coming out alone, his eyes flashing with excitement.

Mu De was the one who had targeted Su Xiaotong, originally planning to barge into her apartment, but had not expected a man to return with her, so he had backed off.

Unable to approach Su Xiaotong directly, he had to change strategies.

On his second visit to Su Xiaotong’s front door, when no one answered his knocking, he hung a dead dog outside the corridor window.

Once the Curse Technique fully took effect, he commanded Su Xiaotong to walk out by herself.

At first, he was a little worried that the man would follow, but fortunately, he did not!

Mu De sat in the van without moving, holding the blood-stained clay figurine in his hand.

"Walk to the side of the van, then open the door and seat yourself in the front passenger seat."

He said this to the clay figurine, and Su Xiaotong, following these orders, came up to the side of the van, opened the door, and sat in the front passenger seat.

"Impressive, those Mao Mountain Taoists sure have real skills!"

Mu De used to be a fence, specializing in trafficking antiques, but bad luck struck once when he got caught by the police, and he ended up in prison for several years.

After his release, his former channels had all been dismantled by the police.

Naturally, he couldn’t go back to his old business, and since he had a criminal record, if he got involved in it again, the police would quickly lock him up once more.

Mu De had to find another way out. He wanted to make big money but wasn’t willing to work hard.

On an accidental occasion, he found a sealed box in the cellar of his ancestral home, hidden among ancient relics; the box was tagged with some incomprehensible yellow talismans.

He removed the yellow talisman and opened the box.

Inside was a ragged ancient book, along with a small clay figurine.

The book recorded a kind of evil technique of Mao Mountain, known as the Curse Technique.

This Curse Technique was not recognized by the upright members of Mao Mountain but had been invented by a renegade from the sect, who was even hunted by his peers because of it.

Times changed, and whether those masters of Mao Mountain still existed was unknown; at first, Mu De also thought it was a scam until he casually tried it on someone.

The Curse Technique could indeed control others!

Mu De began to harbor ill intentions.

The day he loitered around the upscale bar was to find a rich girl, use the Curse Technique to make her fall in love with him, marry him, have his children, and then hand over her wealth to him!

Initially, he had his eye on Qin Zhao, but was taught a lesson by Chu Yan.

Worrying about encountering Chu Yan again and potentially being killed by him, Mu De didn’t follow Qin Zhao any longer and instead set his sights on the more vulnerable Su Xiaotong.

Mu De clenched the small clay figurine tightly, feeling smug with himself.

Glancing at Su Xiaotong in the front passenger seat, she might not have been a stunning beauty with huge charisma, but she was still a charming beauty with delicate skin, and what’s more, she was wealthy!

Mu De’s eyes darted around as he said to Su Xiaotong, "Give me all the money you have on you!"

Su Xiaotong reached into her pocket, finding nothing there.

"Oh, all the money is on the phone these days."

Mu De had been in prison for a long time and still hadn’t caught up with the fact that payments were mostly done through mobile phones now.

"No hurry, just follow me and leave."

He planned to spend some time with Su Xiaotong first, and then once the cooked rice was turned into a meal, he would have her bring him home to meet her parents, and naturally, they would get married.

If her parents disagreed, he would use Curse Technique to control them!

Just as he was brimming with pride, Qin Zhao and Qin Yu slid into the back seat.

Qin Zhao had used an Illusion Technique, so Mu De wouldn’t notice that they had opened the car door.

Mu De drove off, and when Qin Zhao saw the little clay figurine he had placed in the car, she had a sudden realization.

It was indeed Curse Technique.

The Curse Technique of this world was not much different from the methods in her world.

Having spent so long in this world, Qin Zhao had encountered many from the Mystical Sect, and although they were not very skilled, she could still tell that the spell system of this world was quite similar to that of the Canglan Realm.

If it weren’t for the sparse spiritual energy in this world, which was not conducive to cultivation, most of the Heavenly Masters and Xuan Masters of this world would be able to step into the ranks of cultivators.

Wasn’t the master who helped the Lu Family a high-ranking expert in the Golden Core Stage?

However, for cultivators at this stage, they generally did not care about mundane possessions.

Why would they still want to help ordinary mortals?

Doubts suddenly flickered through Qin Zhao’s mind.

The van arrived at the outskirts, an old urban village, where Mu De had rented a basement.

The basement had no windows and was very dark.

Due to the lack of ventilation, an odd smell hit them the moment they stepped inside.

Both Qin Zhao and Qin Yu frowned, while Su Xiaotong’s eyes regained a bit of brightness, sensing the stench of the basement, yet she continued to follow Mu De uncontrollably.

"Only one last step left—success is almost at hand."

Mu De murmured excitedly as he walked.

"Once you are successful, you’ll heed my every command.

Afterward, I’ll be your boyfriend!

Once we sleep together, you’ll take me home to get married—maybe draft up some agreement beforehand to transfer your family’s wealth to me!"

Mu De said excitedly, he stopped walking and reached out to touch Su Xiaotong’s face.

With a loud bang,

Before he could touch Su Xiaotong, he was knocked to the ground by the furious Qin Yu.

"With just you? You’re courting death!"

Qin Yu touched him, causing the Invisibility Talisman to lose effect, and he began pummeling Mu De.

"You... how are you here!"

Mu De stared at him in panic, followed by a scream of agony.

At this moment, another woman appeared in the basement.

It was the cold beauty he had initially been obsessed with, who bent down to pick up the clay figurine that had fallen to the floor.

"Curse Technique? You do have some skills."

Qin Zhao sneered, crushing the clay figurine in her hand.

"Ah!"

Mu De screamed, his head throbbing as if it was being pricked by needles.

This was because Qin Zhao had broken his Curse Technique, and since his vital blood was attached to the clay figurine, which was linked to his spirit, breaking the spell would result in a backlash.

Qin Yu’s fists relentlessly rained down on him, and his cries grew even more miserable.

After Qin Zhao crushed the clay figurine, Su Xiaotong also regained consciousness.

"This place stinks," she said, smelling the odor of the basement, covering her nose with her hand.

But the next second,

Su Xiaotong’s eyes turned suddenly panic-stricken.

"What is that? Qin Yu, get out of the way!"
