Yun Qishen

Chapter 2265 Curse
【Shall we use our demonic power to break the seal?】

Do you really not know what this means?

You're probably just kidding us!

After hearing Mo Langqin explain how to break the seal, the ghost beasts inside the room began to discuss noisily. Although Mo Langqin couldn't see these ghost beasts, he could clearly sense that they were very anxious.

"So I need you to explain what this means? I really don't know."

Mo Langqin didn't understand why these ghostly beasts were suddenly so agitated; he needed to understand.

"By making a contract with you, I've become your ghost beast!" one of the ghost beasts explained. "This seal led us into this house, and a curse was placed upon it. If we could simply break the seal, we would be free."

Another demonic beast spoke up, "However, the method you found, once it breaks the seal, will force us to stay until we complete the task set by the incantation."

"What is the content of that incantation?"

Mo Langqin frowned as he looked at the glowing bamboo stick. He hadn't expected the seal to be designed this way. If he were to use this design to refine ghost beasts in the future, it would definitely be a convenient ability.

We will only know this when we infuse the seal with demonic power.

Mo Langqin looked up at the empty roof beams. "So none of you are willing to take the risk?"

The ghosts remained silent for a moment before replying, "After all, we dare not gamble on the contents of the curse. What if it's meant to kill us? We'd rather be trapped here forever. Anyway, there's no shortage of ghostly power here, and we won't disappear."

Just as Mo Langqin was speechless, the white figure appeared beside Mo Langqin in the form of Yan Cang. A red ghostly power emanated from her palm and then attached itself to the sealing barrier.

【I'll go first!】

Mo Langqin looked at Bai Ying with some surprise, but Bai Ying just raised her head arrogantly and pouted.

"Don't look at me like that. I just think Mo Tianlan must have had some plan in mind when he set up this seal, and it's just a little bit of ghostly power. I'm not like those guys, so easily frightened! They're such powerful ghost beasts, yet they're so hesitant to handle things! If the curse can kill us, we just won't obey it and won't lose our freedom! Our current situation is no different."

The white figure shouted at the timid and hesitant ghost beasts, "If you want freedom, then show some courage as ghost beasts!"

The ghost beasts fell silent for a moment, then a large, blue ghost beast appeared. It had a blue face, fangs, and a furrowed brow. It also wore a string of purple prayer beads around its neck, clearly indicating that it was a high-level ghost beast.

"Alright!" the blue demon looked down at the white figure. "Tell us what the incantation is?"

The white figure grinned. "I can't go into details, but it won't have any special impact on us. You're welcome to offer your ghostly power."

"We believe in you! I'll be next!" The blue demon waved his arm, offering up a portion of his demonic power.

【I'm coming too! 】

Soon, more and more ghostly power gathered from the empty roof beams.

The blue demon, having received the incantation, relaxed his brow, his expression softening. [Indeed, the incantation doesn't contain anything particularly malicious.]

Immediately afterward, even the ghosts and beasts couldn't help but sigh, "This is a mother's love for her child!"

The green ghost turned to Mo Langqin and asked urgently, "Now that the ghost beast issue is resolved, doesn't your method still involve the caster's blood? How do we collect it?"

Yes, that's a difficult problem. How can we obtain the blood of the caster...?

"The blood is here—" Bai Ying's voice instantly exploded in Mo Langqin's mind, jolting him out of his thoughts.

"What did you say?! How could you have that?"

The white figure conjured a small porcelain bottle from its hand, containing Mo Tianlan's blood. "Because I can only give it to you at this time; I must abide by the contents of the Book of Prophecy."

That day, Mo Tianlan ran back to her room, panting. There was a large hole in her abdomen, and blood was flowing out continuously.

"Cough cough cough!" Mo Tianlan clutched her stomach and pushed open the door weakly, calling out in a hoarse voice, "Lang Qin... son... cough cough..."

But Mo Langqin was not inside the house.

Bai Ying was playing upside down on the roof beam when she saw the injured Mo Tianlan return, and she was only curious. She even jokingly teased, "What happened? You have a big gash in your abdomen. Luckily the little one isn't here, or he'd have a terrible memory for life."

"Where did he go?"

Mo Tianlan looked at the roof beam and asked weakly.

Bai Ying was taken aback. She raised an eyebrow and asked tentatively, "Hmm? Are you talking to me?"

She watched Mo Tianlan's pained expression for a moment, then laughed and denied it, "What a joke, how could she possibly see me?"

“I can see you, hiss—you know, right…Where did Lang Qin go?” Mo Tianlan’s face gradually turned pale. Although she was using her ghost power to heal, she was too badly injured, and the remaining ghost power was not enough to heal her wounds.

"You can really see me? What do I look like?" The white figure flew down and came to Mo Tianlan's side.

"Answer my question first, where did he go? Cough cough cough!" Blood rushed to her head and spurted from Mo Tianlan's mouth. She quickly circulated her qi, hoping to live a little longer.

"His friends were looking for him, so he went out to play," the white figure replied.

"Which friends?" Mo Tianlan was worried; she feared that Mo He had plotted to take Mo Langqin away.

There was someone named Mo Ruo, though I've never seen what he looked like.

Upon hearing Mo Ruo's name, Mo Tianlan finally breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good..."

"How did you see me? You clearly can't see me." The white figure flickered in front of Mo Tianlan. She only wanted a physical form, but that form could only be given to her by someone else. With a physical form, perhaps she could get closer to Mo Langqin.

Before I answer your question, may I ask you... one more thing?

【Um? What's up? 】

Mo Tianlan removed her hand from her abdomen and reached towards Bai Ying. Thick blood dripped from her palm. "Collect some of my blood... When the time is right, please give it to Lang Qin."

"It's so dirty, I don't want to!" Bai Ying childishly dodged; she wouldn't help if there was no benefit in it.

"Haven't you always liked Lang Qin?" Mo Tianlan forced a smile through his pain.

But the white figure flew back to the roof beam. [So what if you know? You still won't set me free. I don't want to help you.]

"But now I can only entrust this to you... After I die, Langqin can only be protected by you. So I'm begging you..." After Mo Tianlan finished speaking, he actually bent down and kowtowed to Bai Ying.

[A dignified Ghost Master actually comes to ask a ghost beast for help, what a joke!] The white figure returned to Mo Tianlan's side and used its ghostly power to help her sit up.

“I don’t think that Ghost Masters are any more noble than Ghost Beasts. I only know that you will help me for Lang Qin’s sake.” Because of the transfer of ghost power from Bai Ying, Mo Tianlan’s breathing finally got a little easier. She took out a book from her storage ring and handed it to Bai Ying. “And this… you need to take a look.”

"What is this?" Bai Ying took the book, which was completely unstained by blood, and casually flipped through it.

After letting out a long sigh, Mo Tianlan said, "This is a copy of the Book of Prophecy..."
