Chapter 271 Zhou You’s Exposure, the Power of the Curse

Zhou You smiled calmly: "It's not impossible, it's just... I'm afraid Zhou won't be able to help you."

At this moment, Zhou You was unwilling to hide it any longer.

He knew that there was no need to hide between himself and the Zhengqi Alliance, and the other party also knew his identity, so Zhou You took off the cloak on his head, revealing a delicate and determined face.

However, his eyes were very different from before.

If we say that traveling around in the past was the youthful energy.

So today's travels carry a trace of vicissitudes and time.

He still looks like he is in his twenties, but his eyes look like they have experienced a lot.

At this moment, Meng Xun and Mu Ziye finally saw Zhou You's true face, which was the same as what they had investigated.

Sure enough it was him.

Meng Xun handed over his hand again: "It is indeed Fellow Daoist Zhou. It took only more than twenty years for Fellow Daoist Zhou to go from being a mere mortal to cultivating pills today. It's really touching."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Zhuoran looked shocked and looked at Zhou You in disbelief, seemingly in disbelief.

It was also the first time for him to see Zhou You's appearance.

There is nothing unusual about Zhou Youchang's appearance.

But Meng Xun's words shocked him.

It took more than twenty years to go from ordinary cultivation to the elixir formation stage?

What kind of incredible talent is this?

No matter how proud Xiao Zhuoran is, hearing Zhou You's experience now makes him feel a little ashamed.

so amazing!

Zhou You did not get lost in Meng Xun's compliments. He just said lightly: "It's just a matter of chance. Fellow Daoist Meng paid too much attention to Zhou."

Meng Xun smiled: "I can't help it. Fellow Daoist Zhou and I have a deep connection with the Righteous Alliance, so I have to pay more attention to you, but... those are just the past, and the past grievances are not worth mentioning. Let's talk about cooperation. It’s something about that.”

Zhou You shook his head and said, "I told you, I can't help you."

Meng Xun frowned slightly.

At first he thought Zhouyou was just being modest.

But now that he said this, he understood that Zhou You was declining his kindness.

Obviously he had no intention of cooperating with the Zhengqi Alliance.

This made Meng Xun look a little ugly.

He had given in enough.

At first, he wanted to win over Zhou You, invite Zhou You to join Lin'an Mansion, and let Zhou You work for Lin'an Mansion.

But later I also discovered that with Zhou You's strength and talent, he had his own arrogance, and it was almost impossible to invite Zhou You to join Lin'an Mansion.

They wanted to kill Zhou You, but they couldn't.

In this case, we can only settle for the next best thing, hoping to cooperate with Zhou You, at least not to become an enemy.

Even for this cooperation, Meng Xun is willing to show his greatest sincerity and contribute the magical power of Lin'an Mansion.

But Zhou You... was still unwilling to cooperate with their Righteous Alliance.

This naturally made Meng Xun extremely unhappy.

but.

Meng Xun is a man with deep knowledge in the city. He knows that he cannot fall out with Zhou You now. Zhou You is very strong. Even if Zhang Qinruo is here, they may not be able to deal with Zhou You, let alone Zhang Qinruo is not present now.

So Meng Xun could only nod helplessly: "It seems that the fate between our Righteous Alliance and fellow Taoists has not yet come, but if fellow Taoists have ideas about our cooperation, my proposal will be valid at any time."

After saying that, Meng Xun, Mu Ziye and the elder of the Righteous Alliance withdrew several hundred feet away from Zhou You and the others.

And they did not enter those blood gates.

Zhou You glanced at Meng Xun and the others, then looked at the Blood Gate, and couldn't help but think about it secretly.

What is certain at present is that Zhang Qinruo is definitely the Zhengqi Alliance's biggest supporter in the Demon Sealing Land.

This person... is most likely a clone of the Marquis of Lin'an.

In other words, it was the Marquis of Lin'an who used the soul-splitting technique to snatch away Zhang Qinruo's body with a ray of his own soul.

This method can bring out Lin'an Hou's own strength to the greatest extent.

Basically, after using this technique, the ability displayed will be reduced by about 50% at most.

In other words, the current Zhang Qinruo's real strength can reach about 50% of Lin'an Marquis.

Zhou You didn't know how powerful Lin'an Hou's cultivation was.

But since he wants to break the rules of Daqi Kingdom, his cultivation must be at least in the late Nascent Soul stage, so that he can hope to touch the legendary realm of the Transformation God Stage.

It is even possible that the Marquis of Lin'an's cultivation has reached Nascent Soul Dzogchen.

If he can reach the realm of Nascent Soul Dzogchen, then even if Zhang Qinruo can only perform 50%, he will definitely be better than ordinary late Nascent Soul monks.

As a result, Zhang Qinruo's strength is far more powerful than imagined.

It seems that Zhang Qinruo's strength needs to be re-examined.

Zhou You looked at the ten blood gates.

The ten blood gates are definitely not ordinary, and they are definitely not a bloodline inheritance. There must be a doorway within them. Zhou You guessed that it was most likely a conspiracy created by the Yin God. The monks who entered it were probably in danger.

However, Zhang Qinruo may not be able to escape the evil plan.

Zhou You touched his chin and continued to wait.

…

"Senior Brother Zhou, what exactly are these blood gates? How come it has been so long and there is still no movement?"

At this time, Wang Tiezhu asked again with doubts on his face.

Zhou You shook his head and said, "I'm not sure either."

After Zhou You said this, Wang Tiezhu had no choice but to give up and continue asking.

As time went by, an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

There was still no movement in the Blood Gate, and the gray sea fell into silence, as if Yin Shen and others had been swallowed by the Blood Gate and would never appear again.

Zhou You didn't think anything was wrong. Instead, he was very calm, sitting cross-legged in the void and practicing silently.

But Meng Xun and others are different.

Meng Xun was already very calm.

But his face still slowly darkened.

Zhang Qinruo and the longer they go in, the more likely something will happen.

Originally, Meng Xun thought this was a bit strange, but now that Zhang Qinruo had not come out for such a long time, they naturally became more and more worried.

But that's about it.

The blood gate that was originally motionless suddenly started to move at this moment.

Not all blood gates have seen movement.

There was only one blood gate that made any movement.

That blood gate was the blood gate that Zhang Qinruo entered.

The blood gate began to tremble at this moment, the door frame shook, and the blood energy faintly dispersed, as if it was about to collapse. Meng Xun and others were shocked and confused, and they couldn't help but take a few steps forward, trying to get closer to the blood gate.

Wang Tiezhu and others were also attracted by the movement of the Blood Sect.

Wang Tiezhu said: "Someone is coming out. Could it be that they have obtained the blood inheritance of the ancient demon?"

No one answered him.

But soon, a shadow rushed out from the bloody door.

However, that figure did not give the impression of being high-spirited, but rather swaying and stumbling.

It was obvious that the person who rushed out of the Blood Gate had escaped, and it was unknown what kind of crisis he encountered inside.

That man was extremely fast, and the aura he exuded reached the middle stage of Nascent Soul!

"It's Zhang Qinruo."

The wandering consciousness was so powerful that he had already recognized the person's identity when he rushed out of the blood gate.

It turned out to be the hidden leader of the Zhengqi Alliance, Zhang Qinruo.

As soon as Zhou You finished speaking, Zhang Qinruo had already stumbled up.

Others finally saw Zhang Qinruo's appearance clearly.

Zhang Qinruo's body was covered with black substance, and there were wounds all over his body, but there was no blood in those wounds, instead there were strips of black things squirming.

Those things looked like maggots, but a closer look revealed that the things were as smooth as silk, as if they were made of condensed demonic energy. They were moving in and out of Zhang Qinruo's wounds, which looked extremely weird.

Seeing Zhang Qinruo's weak and pale face, Meng Xun and Mu Ziye's expressions suddenly changed.

"what happened?"

Meng Xun immediately stepped forward and asked with a frown.

Mu Ziye was also extremely worried, and he opened his mouth and said: "Father...what's wrong with you? What danger have you encountered?"

Zhang Qinruo's face was livid. When he came to Meng Xun, he immediately sat down cross-legged and whispered: "Help me protect the law. I will suppress the power of these curses first!"

After saying that, Zhang Qin closed his eyes as if no one else was around, and began to use his skills to suppress those weird black strips of matter.

Meng Xun and Mu Ziye looked at each other and quickly looked at their surroundings vigilantly.

The remaining elder of the Righteous Alliance also became extremely vigilant.

at the same time.

Wang Tiezhu, Xiao Zhuoran and others looked at each other and became a little nervous.

Zhou You also opened his eyes at this time. He glanced at Zhang Qinruo, thoughtfully.

"curse……"

Zhou You captured this key word.

It seems that those strange black strips on Zhang Qinruo's body are the power of the curse.

The power of the curse...

I have never heard of similar power before when I traveled around.

The curse he knew was the kind of curse from the previous life, which was juxtaposed with evil magic such as Gu. It was very strange and could hurt people from a distance, or even kill people. A powerful curse could even affect all the cursed people.

If that kind of curse also existed in the world of immortality, it would definitely be an extremely high-level method.

It's even a method on the same level as the ancient demon's power of rules.

After all, this thing also involves rules.

But now it seems that the curse on Zhang Qinruo is not the kind of curse Zhou You knows about.

Therefore, Zhou You is also a little curious about what the curse power is on Zhang Qinruo and what effect it has on the human body.

"I don't know what he encountered in the Blood Sect. His cultivation in the middle stage of Nascent Soul is so miserable."

Wang Tiezhu said with some lingering fear: "Fortunately we didn't go in, otherwise it would be the same thing whether we could come out. Those monks who went in would probably be in bad luck."

Xiao Zhuoran's eyes flashed, and he said with some confusion: "I don't know what the curse power he mentioned is?"

Zhou You shook his head silently, thought for a moment and then looked at Bai Chiyu.

"Xiao Bai, have you heard of the power of the curse?"

Zhou You asked.

As a member of the mysterious Bai family, Bai Chiyu must have broader knowledge than ordinary monks.

It's normal for her to know some things that others don't know.

That’s why Zhouyou asked.

Bai Chiyu was stunned for a moment and then shook his head, looking confused: "I don't know."

Zhou You saw Baichiyu's confused look and felt that he had overestimated Baichiyu.

So he rubbed her head and told her not to think too much, and then looked at the blood gates.

Seeing Zhou You and Bai Chiyu's actions, the face of the female cultivator from the Bai family darkened.

…

Time passed slowly.

Another hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Within this hour, several blood gates also made noises and trembled for a while.

But no monks flew out.

As time went by, even Wang Tiezhu gradually understood.

Perhaps the monks who entered the Blood Gate were already in danger.

They set their sights on Zhang Qinruo.

At present, only Zhang Qinruo knows what happened inside the Blood Gate and what the situation is inside.

They can also use this to judge the chances of others surviving.

Zhang Qinruo's wounds still showed no signs of healing after an hour of treatment.

Fortunately, the strange black substance in the wound had disappeared a lot, as if it had been suppressed.

This made Meng Xun and Mu Ziye finally feel relieved.

They were afraid that the weird black substance could not be suppressed, which would be difficult.

However, Zhou You was only vaguely aware of it.

Perhaps the black substance did not disappear, but Zhang Qinruo managed to suppress it with his powerful cultivation.

It's probably impossible to really clear it up.

At least with Zhang Qinruo's cultivation level, it is not possible yet.

Another half hour passed.

There was not much black substance left on Zhang Qinruo's body.

He finally opened his eyes.

His eyes were full of exhaustion and weakness.

As for the black matter left on Zhang Qinruo's body, he didn't seem to intend to suppress it anymore.

"how are you feeling?"

Meng Xun asked quickly.

Zhang Qinruo shook his head: "I shouldn't be able to leave here."

This sentence caused Meng Xun and others' expressions to change involuntarily, and they looked at Zhang Qinruo with some horror.

"Hasn't the strange power in you been suppressed? Why can't you leave here?"

Mu Ziye said in disbelief.

Zhang Qinruo said solemnly: "It is indeed suppressed, but it can only do this and cannot go further. These curses on my body are thought to be unable to be suppressed by my current cultivation, and the power of those suppressed curses can be suppressed at any time. There is a possibility of another outbreak.”

After listening to Zhang Qinruo's words, the faces of Meng Xun and the others became even darker.

"In the end what happened?"

Meng Xun asked with a frown.

Mu Ziye also looked at Zhang Qinruo.

Not only them, but also Wang Tiezhu and Xiao Zhuoran looked at each other and stared at Zhang Qinruo closely.

They also want to know what happened inside the Blood Gate.

Zhang Qinruo actually suffered such a big loss.

What worried Zhou You the most was that he found that the copper ring on Zhang Qinruo's body had disappeared.

Zhang Qinruo had to fight hard to get that copper ring.

There was no way he was giving up.

Unless you get to the point where you have to give up.

You must give up the copper ring as the price in order to survive.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Zhang Qinruo to give up the copper ring.

That is the inheritance of the ancient demon!

Zhang Qinruo did not answer Meng Xun's words, but turned to look at Zhou You.
