It wasn't only Liu Qingrui who understood, Firebird and the others also understood. But when they understood, their complexions changed. First, they turned pale, then they turned ashen. Finally, Firebird and the others looked at Liu Qingrui and said, "Viper, are you telling the truth?" Liu Qingrui nodded.
Liu Qingrui looked at the others, then he nodded and said, "Of course it's true. You might not believe me, but I'm telling the truth. When I discovered that I was cursed, I immediately used a method to break the curse. However, I also discovered that the identity cards we carry aren't only used to block the curse from leaking out, it's also a positioning system. As long as we carry the identity cards, then no matter where we go, as long as the people of the firm want to know our location, they will certainly know. If we throw away the identity cards, then the curse will immediately be known to others. At that time, those people will naturally come to deal with us. This is my biggest discovery, and also the firm's biggest secret. Therefore, the firm isn't afraid of people betraying them, and they're even more afraid of people running away because those who run away won't have a good end. Even if they're from other sects, if they don't carry their identity cards, then they'll be hunted down by the other sects. If they carry their identity cards, then they'll be hunted down by the firm. In any case, they won't have a good ending."
Firebird and the others' complexions were incomparably ugly. They didn't think that things would turn out like this. Firebird looked at Liu Qingrui and said, "Viper, can you tell if we're cursed or not?"
Liu Qingrui looked at the firebird and said, "Of course I can tell. If you really want to know if you've been cursed or not, then all you need to do is to shed a drop of blood." Then Liu Qingrui took out a jade plate. This jade plate wasn't a formation plate. On this jade plate, there were many cursed things. Flowers, trees, birds, beasts, fish, insects, everything in the world seemed to be engraved on this jade plate.
Liu Qingrui said, "Drip a drop of your blood on the jade plate. If there's a red flash on the jade plate, then it means that you're not cursed. If there's a black flash on the jade plate, then it means that you're cursed."
Firebird and the others looked at each other, they were hesitant. One must know that a cultivator's blood couldn't be casually shown to others. If they really showed it to others, then it might be used. Now that Liu Qingrui said that he would use a drop of their blood, they couldn't help but hesitate.
Liu Qingrui looked at them and said, "You can rest assured that your blood jade won't be absorbed by the jade plate. You can also take back your blood at any time."
Firebird looked at the jade plate and finally made a decision. she clenched her teeth and said, "Alright, then I'll give it a try."
Liu Qingrui looked at Firebird's expression. Then he smiled and said, "There's no need, I'll give you a demonstration. of course." After he said that, Liu Qingrui waved his hand and a drop of blood seeped out of his fingertip. Then the drop of blood directly fell on the jade plate.
The jade plate was incomparably smooth. The drop of blood didn't seem to stop on the jade plate. It continued to slide down to the center of the jade plate. When the blood reached the center of the jade plate, the jade plate immediately lit up with a red light. The red light was about a foot high. It looked very bloody and very beautiful.
Then Liu Qingrui waved his hand and the drop of blood disappeared from the jade plate along with the light. Liu Qingrui turned his head to the others and said, "See? That's it. Whoever wants to give it a try can give it a try."
The others thought for a moment before Firebird said, "I'll give it a try." After he said that, he reached out his hand and a drop of blood fell on the jade plate. The drop of blood directly slid to the center of the jade plate.
But when the drop of blood reached the center of the jade plate, a black light could be seen rising from the jade plate. This black light was about a foot high and was as black as ink. It looked very frightening.
It must be said that darkness and light shouldn't appear at the same time. It was impossible for black light to exist. But now, the Firebird and the others could feel that it was black light. This was because the darkness was just like light. Within a certain range, anything that was illuminated by the darkness would turn black. It was as if they were illuminated by the light. It was very frightening.
Liu Qingrui looked at the black light on the jade plate, then he sighed and said, "Just as I expected, the firm has placed a curse on all the people who joined the firm. Moreover, this curse wasn't placed by the firm, but by the people you killed. If you don't bring the identification card of the firm, then you will be chased by the other sects. But if you bring the identification card, then you won't be able to escape the firm's surveillance."
Bang! Firebird punched a nearby tree and sent it flying. Firebird's eyes stared at the jade plate. When he saw the black light on the jade plate, his eyes turned blood red.
Liu Qingrui looked at Firebird and said, "Firebird, you're not the only one like this. Put your blood away."
Only then did the Fire Bird come back to his senses. He glanced at the jade plate, then waved his hand and put away the drop of blood. At this time, Wild Bull and the others couldn't sit still. Everyone went to the jade plate and one by one, they dripped their blood onto the jade plate. But without exception, all of them were cursed. The jade plate flashed with black light.
After everyone was done, Liu Qingrui looked at everyone and said, "Alright, don't worry about it. It's not a big deal, it's just a curse. Moreover, this curse has been blocked by the identification card. This is also a method used by the firm to control people. If the firm didn't have any means to control people, then I'm afraid the firm would have already been destroyed."
Firebird said in a hoarse voice, "I'm not reconciled. If the Trading Company had told us that they would use this method to deal with us, we might have felt better, but they didn't say anything. How can I not be angry?"
Liu Qingrui smiled and said, "Come on, if they told you, you would have already thought of a way to break the curse. How could they control you? This is normal."
Firebird coldly snorted and said, "Normal? How can this be normal? This is equivalent to our lives being in the hands of the firm. They can take our lives at any time. If they want to deal with us, then they can just change our identification cards. This is too dangerous. "
The expressions of the others were also very ugly. Liu Qingrui looked at them and said, "Do you know why I didn't get angry and even joined the firm? It's because I know that this method is normal. No matter which sect it is, they would have their own methods to control their disciples. Therefore, I'm not surprised at all. In any sect, this kind of thing happens. So there's nothing to be surprised about. You don't need to care too much about it. "
Firebird angrily said, "How can I not be angry? How can I not be angry? Alright, what should we do now? Viper, you said that you can break the curse. Can you really do it? "
Liu Qingrui looked at Firebird and said, "Of course I can break the curse. But Firebird, you need to think clearly. Right now, it's just my words. Are you really willing to believe me? My suggestion is that after we return to the Merchant City, you should find someone to test whether or not you've been cursed. If they can find out how long you've been cursed, that would be even better. If you're really cursed and have been cursed for a long time, then you should think of a way to break the curse. If you can break the curse by yourself, then that would be even better. If you can't break the curse, then you can come to me again. By the way, my method of breaking the curse is a bit special. You'll need to prepare some materials, the core of a thousand-year-old locust tree. If others can't break the curse and you want me to break the curse for you, then you'll need to bring the materials to me. "
When Firebird and the others heard Liu Qingrui, they stared for a moment. Then they understood what Liu Qingrui meant. Although they were working together, they hadn't been working together for a long time. They might have some trust in each other, but this trust wasn't very strong. Because of this, Liu Qingrui asked them to find someone else.
Firebird looked at Liu Qingrui and said, "Alright, we'll do as you say. I really didn't expect Viper to be such a gentleman. If we really can't find anyone to help us break the curse, then we'll have to rely on you."
Liu Qingrui smiled faintly and said, "If that's the case, then I'll certainly help."
The Firebird nodded and didn't say anything. Liu Qingrui received the jade plate and then looked at the Firebird and the others. He smiled faintly but didn't say anything. He knew that Switzerland wasn't the right time to say anything. He had to wait for the right time. When the time comes, the Firebird and the others would believe him.
Firebird and the others were sitting there, their hearts were burning with anxiety. They weren't lacking in patience, but after this matter, they discovered that their patience was gone. They couldn't wait to return to the Merchant City and check if they were really cursed. After all, this matter was related to their lives. They didn't dare to be careless.
When the sun rose, Liu Qingrui looked at them and smiled, "You don't seem to be in the mood to inquire about the disappearance. Let me go and inquire about the news in the city. Please wait a moment." After saying that, he jumped into the river and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After Liu Qingrui left, Firebird turned to the others and said, "Do you think what Viper said is true? Are we really cursed? " It wasn't that the Firebird didn't believe that he was cursed, he just didn't want to believe it. Just like people, sometimes they knew what happened, but they just didn't want to believe it. Even if others comforted him, he would still be very happy.
The Spirit Fox looked at the Firebird, then he sighed and said, "What the Viper said is true. You might not know what the Jade Plate that the Viper took out is, but I do. I used to know someone who used Curses, and he also had a similar Jade Plate. That Jade Plate is called the Life Spirit Plate. It's something that everyone who uses Curses must prepare. The Life Spirit Plate is just like the artifacts that we use, but it's a special kind of artifact that is specially used for Curses. Not only can it detect Curses, it can also use Curses, cultivate Curses, and remove Curses. It's an indispensable artifact for Curses. Moreover, I also know what happens after a person is hit by a Curse. Therefore, the Viper didn't lie, we were really hit by a Curse."
"Hateful! Too hateful! To think that the trading firm would use such a method to control us! Too hateful!" Wild Bull said with bloodshot eyes. He was really angry. He felt that he was betrayed by the person he trusted the most.
The Spirit Fox sighed and said, "Actually, what Viper said is right. It's normal for the firm to use this method to control us. If it was me, I would also use this method to control us. I believe that the other sects would also do the same. This matter can't be blamed on anyone."
The Firebird coldly snorted and didn't speak. The others' faces were also very ugly. The Spirit Fox looked at them and said, "Let's go back and talk about this matter. Even if we know that we are cursed, we can't say it out loud. We have to break the curse ourselves. Moreover, we still have to live in the firm in the future. It wouldn't be good for us to make a big fuss."
When the Firebird and the others heard the Spirit Fox, they didn't say anything. Although the Spirit Fox's words weren't pleasant to hear, it was the truth. If they were to leave the firm now, they wouldn't have a good place to go. If they were to go to other sects, they wouldn't have a good development in other sects. At the very least, they didn't lack cultivation materials in the firm. This was even better than the disciples of other sects. Therefore, if they were to leave the firm because of this matter, they would be reluctant to do so.
After some time, the Firebird said, "Let's leave this matter as it is. We'll go back and confirm that we are cursed. Then we'll think of a way to break the curse." The others also nodded. They were rogue cultivators, so they knew when to pick up and when to let go. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to cultivate to this degree. Now that they had calmed down, the seed had been planted. Sooner or later, it would take root and sprout. This was also Liu Qingrui's goal.
After an hour, Liu Qingrui returned to the forest. He looked at the others and said, "The Lu Clan's people are all dead. Not a single one is left. There are also many people who came to celebrate the Lu Clan's birthday. Now that the city is in chaos, they don't have time to care about us. Let's go, we'll think of a way to return to the firm."
The others nodded. The Firebird looked at Liu Qingrui and said, "Viper, we have to thank you for this matter. If you didn't tell us, we wouldn't have known about it. We'll remember this favor. Let's go." The others nodded as well. Then they flew up and flew towards the distance. Now that they couldn't return to Green Sun City, they could only use the transmission formations of other cities to return to the firm.
Liu Qingrui didn't have any thoughts about their reaction. He already knew that this would happen. Therefore, he didn't say anything and just followed the others.
