"Oh, to save the Li family from a crisis?"
Chen Xiao glanced at Senior Nan and said meaningfully, "The Li family is one of the four major families in Jinlin City. What crisis do you need me to save?"
Even though the Li family was not a martial arts family, they were still a force to be reckoned with in the secular world. If someone wanted to destroy the Li family, the government would not agree.
There were simply too many things involved in wiping out a large clan that dominated a region!
Chen Xiao's plan to destroy the Qiao family was essentially approved by the government. Liu Qizhou had also lent him the Surveillance Bureau's help. That was why it had gone so smoothly.
"Even if a Grandmaster Martial Artist were to make a move, it would not be up to me to save you." Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes.
A Grandmaster was indeed powerful. Normal firearms could not harm a Grandmaster. However, China had its own means to keep them in check.
Leaving aside electromagnetic cannons, laser weapons, and even nuclear bombs, China was one of the five major countries. How could it not have one or two national Grandmasters?
Chen Xiao believed that if a Grandmaster dared to cause trouble, he or she would be dealt a terrible blow!
"The one who attacked the Li family could be a Grandmaster Martial Artist, but it could also be said that he or she was not."
Li Heyang smiled bitterly. There was a hint of despair in his eyes. "If not for Grandmaster Chen's unparalleled talent and the Li family's desperate situation, I would not have asked you for help."
Hearing this, Chen Xiao couldn't help but feel a little interested. "Then tell me, what's going on?"
"I wonder if Grandmaster Chen has heard of …"
Li Heyang took a deep breath. It was as if he had used all the strength in his body. He slowly uttered five words, "Spirit Cultivator?"
Seeing that Chen Xiao did not respond, Li Heyang could not help but look disappointed. However, he continued, "Spirit Cultivators are different from ordinary martial artists. They do not train their bodies, only their spirit. Those who are successful in their spirit power can summon the wind and rain and kill people with a single thought. In ancient times, they were often called Heavenly Masters. "
At this point, Li Heyang suddenly gritted his teeth and turned around. He lifted his shirt and completely exposed his back.
"Ah ah — —" Lin Fei immediately covered her eyes and screamed. However, very quickly, her pair of beautiful eyes widened, "What … is this?"
On Li Heyang's back was a bright red totem of a coiled serpent. It was like a blood tattoo, and it emitted an evil and ferocious feeling.
If one looked closely, they would discover that this blood coiling snake totem was not a real tattoo. Instead, it was embedded into Li Heyang's flesh. At the edge of the pattern, one could even see the slightly twisted flesh.
At first glance, it was as if someone had used a soldering iron to directly burn such a horrifying pattern on Li Heyang's back!
"This is … a bloodline curse?"
Chen Xiao's eyes flashed as he enunciated each word clearly.
"Great! You really know about the bloodline curse?! Grandmaster Chen, please save the Li family! "
On the other hand, when Li Heyang heard the words' bloodline curse 'from Chen Xiao, his body suddenly trembled, and he revealed a strong sense of astonishment and ecstasy.
Previously, when he saw that Chen Xiao had no reaction to the 'Mental Strength Cultivator', he had completely given up hope. Who would have thought that Chen Xiao could actually point out the existence of the 'bloodline curse'? Immediately, the fire of hope in Li Heyang's heart was ignited!
"I think I know what's going on. However, you should get up first and tell me what's going on." Chen Xiao nodded noncommittally.
The moment he saw the bloodline curse, Chen Xiao already understood the reason why Elder Nan did not help — because Elder Nan did not know the Dao of Curses at all. Even if he used all his strength, he would not be able to solve the problem of the Li family.
The Dao of Curses was too obscure. Even a Deva Grandmaster would not know about it.
On the contrary, the existence of the 'Mental Strength Cultivator' that Li Heyang mentioned more or less aroused some of Chen Xiao's interest.
Perhaps there were more things hidden on Earth than what he knew in his previous life, and they were even more interesting and varied!
"Here's what happened. About a hundred years ago, the ancestor of the Li family met a strange person. That strange person was a Mental Strength Cultivator …"
Although the Li family's encounter sounded complicated, it was actually very simple.
A hundred years ago, the country was in chaos.
At that time, the ancestor of the Li family was just a commoner. He did not even have the surname 'Li' now.
While escaping, the ancestor of the Li family met a strange person. That person seemed to be heavily injured, but he was still extremely powerful. He could easily deal with dozens of fully armed soldiers. Therefore, the ancestor of the Li family chose to become the person's follower.
In order to show his respect, he even changed his surname to Li. That strange person's surname was Ji. The ancestor of the Li family changed his surname to Li to express the meaning of 'Heaven of the Li family'.
However, as time passed, that person's injuries did not improve. Instead, they became more and more serious. It seemed that he was about to die.
Before he died, that strange person called the ancestor of the Li family and told him that he was an elder of the 'Mixed-Essence Sect'. He used a secret method to force the ancestor of the Li family to swear a Soul Blood Oath. The ancestor of the Li family would give a treasure to his sect within a hundred years.
"I'm sure you can guess what happened next. Our ancestor was greedy and did not abide by the oath. Instead, he brought that person's treasure and wealth to Jinling and settled down there. That was how the Li family came to be. "
As he spoke, a hint of shame appeared on Li Heyang's face. After all, it was not a glorious thing for the ancestor to break the oath. "In the beginning, the ancestor of the Li family was also worried for a long time. However, he was never punished for breaking the oath, so he gradually relaxed until the day he passed away."
"On the day of the ancestor's death, the cursed totem suddenly appeared on the back of every member of the Li family. From then on, whether it was the elderly or the newborn, they would always have this blood mark on their backs."
Chen Xiao nodded expressionlessly. He did not make any comments. "So, what is the content of the curse?"
Li Heyang took a deep breath and said with a horrified expression, "If I break the oath, my body and soul will be destroyed, and my bloodline will be severed. My entire family will suffer the pain of being bitten by thousands of snakes, turning into pus and blood and dying!"
This curse was extremely insidious.
"In recent years, many strange diseases have appeared in the Li family …" Li Heyang let out a long sigh and said helplessly, "The third of March next year will be the deadline for the curse to break out."
He took out a sandalwood box and opened it. Inside the box was a translucent glass bead that glowed with a dazzling, psychedelic brilliance.
At this moment, Li Heyang once again bowed to Chen Xiao.
"This is the item that the strange person entrusted to me. I'm willing to give this item to the Grandmaster. Please save the Li family!"
