Su Jiuli is now certain that the other party should be a Nascent Soul cultivator. Although the spell was well concealed, the divine senses of the two Nascent Soul cultivators were too sharp. In addition, they had both been in close contact with the sacrificial curse on Ouyang Yanyu's body, so they still managed to detect the faint trace of the spell's aura left on the barrier in front of them.
Having ascertained the opponent's strength, Su Jiuli transmitted his voice, "Third Junior Brother, take Junior Sister and Brother Yun Ye back. I'm going to kill that guy!"
Although Ye Sisi also wanted to go, she knew that she was only a Golden Core cultivator. If she went and fell into the other party's trap, it would be a loss. So she said, "Senior Brother, Yun Ye and I will go back by ourselves. You and Third Senior Brother can go together so that we can look after each other!"
After thinking for a moment, Su Jiuli still said, "No, what if it's a diversionary tactic? There has to be a Nascent Soul cultivator by your side!"
The curses of the Cursed Spirit Sect were simply too bizarre, and he was genuinely afraid that Ye Sisi might also fall under their spells if she encountered Ye Susu and the people from the Cursed Spirit Sect.
Seeing this, Ye Sisi didn't say anything more, but obediently stood beside Lin Shuangluo.
Su Jiuli no longer concealed his presence. He had no way to avoid the curse silently, so he had no choice but to break through it violently.
He cleaved through the barrier in front of him with a single sword strike, then strode inside. It was an inconspicuous secret chamber with three teleportation arrays shimmering with a faint blue light in the center, each emanating an aura of magic.
Su Jiuli couldn't help but admire the other party's caution. Without knowing whether he was being hunted down, the other party left behind invisible spells everywhere. If he hadn't been a Nascent Soul cultivator, he would have been truly stumped!
He just couldn't understand why that person was so sure someone would come. What if they didn't come? Wouldn't these spells harm other people?
Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Su Jiuli's bright, starry eyes.
"Brother Nalan, quickly calculate which teleportation array I should use?"
Without Su Jiuli's prompting, Nalan Yunye had already begun divination upon seeing the three teleportation arrays, but the results were not ideal.
"You can't use any of these three teleportation arrays! And we've alerted the enemy!"
Just as he finished speaking, the three teleportation arrays in front of them turned into dust little by little, giving them no chance at all.
Su Jiuli still felt unwilling. They had finally found a clue, only to have it cut off like this. That person was just a Nascent Soul cultivator. How could he have manipulated them so easily?
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Could you calculate Ye Susu's location again?"
Nalan Yunye shook his head: "I just calculated it, her Tianji is also blocked! That's why I said to stir up trouble!"
Actually, he was very curious now. Were the people of the Cursed Spirit Sect really that powerful? Tianji could block things just like that. You know, even he, a direct disciple of the Tianji Sect, and a direct disciple with an extremely high talent in divination, couldn't block others' Tianji. At most, he could use secret techniques to cover up his own destiny.
Not only can they block their own Tianji (a concept in Chinese astrology), but they can also cast curses through other people's destinies. Now they have used some unknown method to block another person's Tianji. This method is indeed too heaven-defying. No wonder even the Heavenly Dao cannot tolerate them.
Su Jiuli suddenly transmitted her voice: "You three hide well, I'm going to have a go at this city lord!"
The moment he finished transmitting his voice, a young man with feminine features flew over, carrying a thick-backed broadsword.
At the same time, his loud shouts rang out from all around: "Who dares to trespass on my city lord's mansion!"
Su Jiuli gently raised her hand, and the young man who had come with such a fierce aura changed his expression. Large beads of cold sweat slid down his smooth, fair cheeks. This pressure must be from a Nascent Soul cultivator!
He never expected that the person who came was actually a Nascent Soul cultivator, which was the strongest force in the lower plane. How could he, the city lord of a small city, afford to offend such a person?
So, bracing himself against the overwhelming pressure, he said, "I was unaware of your presence in my humble abode, senior. Please forgive me!"
Ye Sisi felt aggrieved for him, but there was nothing she could do; this was the dog-eat-dog world of cultivation.
Su Jiuli snorted coldly and secretly increased her pressure, forcing the other party to bend over several times before saying, "A petty thief stole my things. It's that kid your daughter brought back. Hand him over, or your entire city lord's mansion will be buried with him!"
Chen Shuo was completely dumbfounded. What the heck? The kid Mingzhu brought back provoked a Nascent Soul senior. No wonder he was so badly injured.
"Senior, my daughter is mentally challenged and only recovered in the last two days. She must have been bewitched by that boy. Please, senior, have mercy and spare her life!"
Ye Sisi felt awkward watching this young man, who was even more beautiful than a woman, constantly calling her "little girl." His skin was just too good. If he dressed up a little, he might even outshine Sister Sha!
"I'm not blind. Just tell me where that shameless thief went, and I promise I won't hurt your daughter!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Shuo breathed a sigh of relief. A dignified Nascent Soul cultivator would certainly not stoop to lying to a Nascent Soul cultivator like him, so he said, "That shameless little thief..."
The four of them were waiting quietly for what would happen next when Chen Shuo, who had been perfectly fine just moments before, suddenly screamed and died right in front of them all!
Ye Sisi could no longer hide herself and hurriedly stepped forward to check his body.
Before she could even reach Chen Shuo, Su Jiuli stopped her: "His sea of consciousness has been placed under a restriction!"
"Senior Brother, how could he not know that he's been placed under a restriction?" Ye Sisi asked incredulously.
Su Jiuli couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. At this moment, he truly realized how terrifying the successor of the Cursed Spirit Sect was. He had placed a restriction in the other party's sea of consciousness, but the other party, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator, did not notice it at all!
If his cultivation level were higher, he would also be a Nascent Soul cultivator, and all of them would probably be dead by now.
"This line is broken, let's think of another way!" Su Jiuli sighed.
