Chapter 442: Chapter 441: There Is a Piece of Paper in My Bedside Table

The Master of Curses had a point. Jiang Zuo did have his reservations.

Continuing the Seal was tantamount to continuing his struggle against the Master of Curses.

Not unless the Master of Curses allowed him to seal it peacefully, just like at the beginning.

In that case, Jiang Zuo wouldn’t have been injured. But the Master of Curses had already awakened and would naturally not allow itself to be sealed. Instead, it would constantly assault the Seal.

So, Jiang Zuo couldn’t continue.

It was true that he couldn’t continue the Sealing, but that didn’t mean Jiang Zuo couldn’t use his remaining power.

"Human, live well. When I get out, you will learn just how foolish your choice today was," the Master of Curses cried out once more.

It was true. Once it got out, it would be a nearly invincible existence.

Given the current strength of everyone present, it really could make them all regret it.

But Jiang Zuo couldn’t be bothered with it anymore. He directly changed the form of his power and plunged it into the Seal.

Finally, a massive explosion erupted from within the Seal.

Immediately following was the agonized scream of the Master of Curses.

"AAAAAHHH, HUMAN! YOU’D BETTER REMEMBER ME! I’LL MAKE YOU WISH YOU WERE DEAD!"

Jiang Zuo ignored the Master of Curses. He slowly descended, having already reached his limit.

’How am I going to leave?’ was the big question.

Meanwhile, outside, Jian Shisan finally saw Yue Xi arrive.

Yue Xi came to Jian Shisan’s side and handed him the Shaping Pill. Then she said, "Senior Brother, I have a few questions for you afterward."

Jian Shisan nodded without a word.

Yue Xi smiled. "Then I’ll let you get to it, Senior Brother."

Jian Shisan didn’t linger. He charged straight into the Secret Realm. The realm’s repulsive force had long since vanished, and the Master of Curses was already sealed.

So, there was nothing that could stop him.

Jian Shisan’s speed was extremely fast, unmatched by anyone present.

Soon, he appeared where Jiang Zuo was.

The moment he appeared, he slashed his sword at the broadcasting Magical Treasure.

The already damaged Magical Treasure completely disintegrated under Jian Shisan’s sword.

Jian Shisan then went to Jiang Zuo’s side and took him away from the Secret Realm directly.

Jiang Zuo breathed a sigh of relief when he sensed Jian Shisan. ’Now things won’t be so bad.’

When Jian Shisan saw Jiang Zuo, he was truly shocked. The injuries were simply horrifying to behold.

Jian Shisan left with the man, and no one could catch up, nor did anyone dare to try.

Everyone from the Celestial Permanence Seven Veins could only watch as Jian Shisan departed.

As for the person who had just been crippled, no one said a word.

Some losses just had to be swallowed.

Especially since this whole affair was almost entirely caused by the Sword Cultivation Lineage, it was already a rare boon that the other party was willing to help.

Back in the Secret Realm, Su Qi stood frozen in a daze.

Jingyue watched the fading Curse Power and smiled. "Looks like we won. We survived."

Then Jingyue looked at Su Qi. But the moment she did, she sensed something was wrong. "Little Miss Mopey, what’s the matter? Did the Curse Power hurt you?"

Su Qi shook her head. She clutched her chest and said, "My heart feels so heavy."

Jingyue was surprised. "What is it, then?"

Su Qi shook her head, not daring to think too much about it. She just said, "I want to call my husband."

With that, Su Qi took out her phone and dialed Jiang Zuo’s number.

But the call wouldn’t go through at all.

Su Qi said in a panic, "It won’t connect! Why won’t it connect? Senior Sister..."

Jingyue was stunned. She felt that Su Qi had lost her composure for no apparent reason.

Jingyue then held Su Qi’s arm and said softly, "Don’t panic. There’s just no signal. It doesn’t mean anything."

That’s right, there was no signal here. Under normal circumstances, there was no way Su Qi wouldn’t know that.

This was enough to prove that Su Qi’s heart was in turmoil.

’If the two of them really do have Mind Sensing, does this mean Jiang Zuo might be in mortal danger?’

Jingyue couldn’t help but look toward the Seal’s location.

Then she shook her head. ’That’s not very likely.’

Jingyue didn’t want anything to happen to Jiang Zuo, and Su Qi, naturally, wanted it even less. She didn’t even dare to entertain the thought.

Jingyue comforted her, "It’s alright. You’re just flustered for a moment. Or maybe it’s because we just had a near-death escape, and you just miss him.

Don’t scare yourself."

Su Qi nodded numbly, then said again, "I want to make a call. I..."

Jingyue didn’t refuse. She immediately said, "I’ll take you out of here right now. Just try to calm down."

Su Qi nodded, but her heart refused to settle. She had to hear Jiang Zuo’s voice. She had to know that he was safe.

Soon, Jingyue used Sword Flight to carry Su Qi outside.

There was no one else here for the time being. With Jingyue present, the Curse Power couldn’t affect Su Qi.

Besides, the Curse Power had thinned out considerably and didn’t affect the signal much anymore.

Then Jingyue said, "There’s a signal now. You can try calling again."

Su Qi nodded and nervously pressed the call button.

Soon, she heard the call go through; it was ringing.

But the other end didn’t pick up, which made Su Qi extremely agitated. Just as she thought the call was about to end, her phone suddenly vibrated, and a familiar voice came through:

"Hello."

Hearing that single word, Su Qi’s panic suddenly vanished, and she even felt the urge to cry.

---

「A few minutes earlier.」

Jian Shisan had carried Jiang Zuo away from the Sword Cultivation Lineage’s territory.

"That was too reckless," Jian Shisan said.

Jiang Zuo said flatly, "It’s nothing serious. I know my limits."

Jian Shisan handed the Shaping Pill to Jiang Zuo. "I got this from Junior Sister. You’d better find a way to replace it."

Jiang Zuo smiled, took the Shaping Pill, and swallowed it directly.

"I know how to refine them, but my level is too low to create a Shaping Pill. I can make a less effective Spiritual Liquid, though. I’ll use that as a substitute for now."

Jian Shisan said nothing, just gave a slight nod.

After Jiang Zuo swallowed the Shaping Pill, Jian Shisan spoke again, "Does Jiu Xi not know any of this?"

Jiang Zuo said, "You see the state I’m in. Can you imagine what would happen if she saw me like this?"

"How long can the Seal hold?" Jian Shisan asked.

"Including my final strike, probably a little over half a year," Jiang Zuo said.

Jian Shisan looked at the recovering Jiang Zuo. "And after half a year? What do you plan to do? Once he breaks free, it’ll be a nearly hopeless situation."

Jiang Zuo said softly, "In half a year, I’ll make him regret he was ever born. Don’t worry."

Seeing Jiang Zuo so confident, Jian Shisan said no more. ’Half a year, huh? I’d better step up my game, too.’

Just then, Jiang Zuo’s phone suddenly rang.

Jiang Zuo froze for a second. ’Who would be calling me at a time like this?’

He glanced at the screen. It was Su Qi.

Jiang Zuo grew a little worried. Because of his severe injuries, his voice wasn’t quite right. With Su Qi’s unreasonable intuition, she would easily see through his act.

Jian Shisan asked, "Jiu Xi? Aren’t you going to answer?"

Jiang Zuo said, "Hold on. I need to get my voice back to normal first, or she’ll notice something’s wrong."

A moment later, Jiang Zuo tested his voice. After confirming it sounded fine, he answered the call.

"Hello?"

A simple, common opening that wouldn’t easily give him away.

It would also buy him a little more time.

However, Jiang Zuo noticed that Su Qi wasn’t saying anything. He couldn’t just wait, so he spoke again, "Su Qi?"

Only then did Jiang Zuo hear Su Qi’s voice. "Where are you?"

Jiang Zuo thought for a moment and said, "At home."

Su Qi said, "There’s a piece of paper in my bedside table drawer. What does it say?"

Jiang Zuo froze completely. "..."
