Chapter 14

◎I Won’t Allow It◎

What happened?

Chi Lu’s eyes widened, her back pressed against the window sill. She didn’t feel the pain from the raised wooden partition. She carefully examined the situation inside the room.

She saw Jing Shuxing leaning against the door, his expression listless, his eyes downcast and silent, as if lost in thought.

Blood beads congealed on his eyelids, rolling down his raven-black eyelashes.

The skin exposed outside was full of scars, mixed with blood stains. The bright red color was fiercely embedded in the spreading curse mark.

Chi Lu nervously clenched the bracelet on her wrist. Her pitch-black pupils slowly rotated, her gaze constantly sweeping around, wishing she could search every corner of the room.

Just as she was terrified, the bracelet on her wrist suddenly popped out a light screen:

[There is no danger around, please do not waste time, host, and quickly complete the mission.]

Chi Lu tightened her lips and didn’t dare to make a sound. She shrank in the corner and asked the system in her mind, “No danger? Then why are all the people here gone? And Jing Shuxing is seriously injured?“

The system did not answer her directly. The light screen flickered, and a full screen of text popped out.

The text records what happened in Fengyue City after Jing Shuxing, the villain who massacred the city in the original book, turned evil.

【The peaceful and beautiful Fengyue City, as if thrown into boiling water, burst into loud wails. Suddenly, the screams and cries of pain all disappeared. And Fengyue City stood empty in the night, as quiet as a dead city.

For a moment, it seemed as if someone snapped their fingers, with a ‘snap’ sound, the entire city disappeared without a trace, leaving only the twinkling stars in the night sky.】

Chi Lu’s breath hitched, “You mean, everything that happened here was done by Jing Shuxing? Then why would he also be injured, let alone looking at his condition, it’s clear that someone has cursed him.”

The system didn’t answer her again, the screen once again turned into monotonous text: [Please complete the mission as soon as possible, host.]

Chi Lu didn’t believe the system’s words. She looked around the not-so-large room back and forth, trying to find traces of other people’s footsteps, but found nothing.

Just when she was in a state of anxiety, like being tormented by a branding iron, Jing Shuxing began to move.

He leaned against the door panel, supported himself against the wall, and slowly propped up his body. It seemed that he wanted to walk towards the original bed, where the orchid basin was now placed, but he suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood and stumbled forward.

Chi Lu didn’t have time to think, she took a step forward, and before Jing Shuxing fell, she reached out her arms to catch him.

She thought she did the right thing, saving Jing Shuxing from the pain of falling. However, Jing Shuxing, leaning on Chi Lu’s shoulder, changed his face and tried desperately to get up and distance himself.

Chi Lu couldn’t help but be puzzled. She supported Jing Shuxing’s arm and asked softly, “What happened here?”

Before she could finish her question, her hand suddenly felt empty, followed by a slight pain. She was about to pull her hand back, but was shocked to find that her wrist was firmly grasped by Jing Shuxing.

A wave of pain came from her wrist bone, causing Chi Lu to desperately try to retract her hand, only to be shocked to find that she couldn’t break free from Jing Shuxing’s shackles.

Jing Shuxing swallowed the sweet and fishy taste in his mouth, his thin lips slightly hooked, and he let out a chilling laugh, “I killed them.”

Chi Lu: “?”

“They have insulted me for a long time, and I have a way to deal with them without anyone knowing, why not kill?”

“Could it be that you are blaming me for not listening to you and sparing their lives?”

The curse mark formation has entered the second stage. The thorny curse mark is strangling the spiritual platform, gradually closing off his five senses and consciousness. He tasted the sweetness of taking a life for the first time, and increasingly lost control of his rationality.

For eighteen years, he has been cautious and self-disciplined. Even though he was in Fengyue City, he never lost his original heart, hoping to see the light one day. In the end, however, he was greeted with the shattering of his spiritual platform, almost losing all his spiritual power, and becoming no different from a waste.

He was deeply trapped under heavy surveillance, unable to live or die. On one hand, he was constantly subjected to insults and torture, and on the other hand, he was bound by a vow not to harm others because of a favor.

He clearly has enough strength, so why should he still be bound by rules and regulations?

He endured the torment of the formation that was planted without reason, and he couldn’t even hide his detestable and ugly state. He was seen over and over again, like a public parade.

Jing Shuxing raised his eyebrows, squeezed out a laugh from his throat, the laughter was like a ghost in the wilderness. He shook his arm to prop up his body, and with a backhand, he pulled Chi Lu behind him, forcing her to lean against the door panel, unable to escape.

It was only at this moment that he noticed that her wrist was extremely thin. If he used a little more force, he could break it immediately. The delicate skin was not like that of an expert who had been cultivating for nearly a hundred years, but rather like a young girl.

“Go away.” He threw off Chi Lu’s hand, “If you don’t leave, I won’t remember your kindness to me anymore.”

Chi Lu lifted her eyes and looked at Jing Shuxing.

Those eyes lost their light, extremely dull, but at this moment, they seemed to have substance again, staring at her unblinkingly, as if to see through her entirely.

It was then that she noticed that although Jing Shuxing had many wounds on his skin, they were all light scratches. What really tortured him was the curse mark covering his skin.

Her pupils suddenly shrank, remembering the definition of the curse mark she had seen in the book when she was cultivating in Linghua Sect.

The curse mark belongs to the curse mark formation, covering the body of the cursed person. The spiritual power mark on it can directly penetrate the skin and enter the body, lightly stimulating the meridians, and in severe cases, it will attack the spiritual platform, directly destroying the person’s mind.

The curse mark formation is a side path, and the requirements for formation are extremely high. Therefore, the records about this formation in the world are extremely rare, and the method of breaking the formation is also little known.

Chi Lu had never specifically studied the curse mark formation. Although she recognized it now, she was helpless. She remembered that Linghua Sect had a universal method to deal with formations. Now she could only try her best, treating a dead horse as if it were still alive.

She raised her hand, her five fingers pressed against Jing Shuxing’s chest, and pouring spiritual power into him, trying to intercept the curse mark that was piercing into his body.

The two forces of spiritual power collided within him, catching Jing Shuxing off guard, and he gasped.

“What are you doing?” He spat out each word, faintly revealing his suppressed pain.

He gradually couldn’t stabilize his body, already showing signs of tottering and falling.

Chi Lu didn’t answer Jing Shuxing’s question.

She was going all out, wrestling with the curse mark inside Jing Shuxing’s body, trying to find the eye of the curse mark formation, block it, and prevent the curse mark formation from continuing to erupt.

Her hand was grasped again, Jing Shuxing pulled her moon-white wrist, and forcibly moved it away from his chest. His eyebrows tightly furrowed, as if it weighed a thousand gold.

“Enough.” He growled lowly, “No matter what you’re planning, leave here now, the further away from Fengyue City, the better.”

“What are you planning to do?” Chi Lu’s voice trembled slightly.

Jing Shuxing couldn’t help but let out a series of laughs, then his consciousness spread out, circled around Chi Lu, and then skillfully retracted.

He felt the girl trembling, the fear transmitted to Jing Shuxing through her trembling wrist, but she didn’t move, still leaning against the wooden door, looking up at him.

Could it be that she was scared silly? The door was clearly behind her, but she didn’t know where to escape?

Jing Shuxing no longer cared about her, he withdrew his hand with a cold laugh and walked towards the inner room.

His sleeve was lifted, and then it was forcefully pulled.

Chi Lu’s face was pale, she grabbed Jing Shuxing’s soaked sleeve and urgently said, “I won’t allow it.”

Jing Shuxing laughed coldly, trying to pull back his sleeve.

With a pull, it didn’t move.

The curse mark formation had sealed Jing Shuxing’s perception to such an extent that although he could understand what the other party was saying, he couldn’t exert any strength.
