CHAPTER 797: CHAPTER 497: WHAT YOU WANT IS WHAT I WANT

Black Sorcerers are regarded as a faction within the World Ability Circle, similar to the nefarious necromancers in Western suspense who practice alchemy and corpse refinement, various malicious techniques, and excel in hiding curses... somewhat akin to China’s witches.

However, the fact that the Hell Prince was a Black Sorcerer was indeed a secret Sui Yi had not known about; of course, there were two other things she also didn’t know.

After thinking for a moment, she asked, "You mean to say, this Hell Prince had placed a curse at the time, and this curse took effect immediately, causing the death of one hundred thousand imperial troops?"

"Yes, and these one hundred thousand were already showing signs of madness when they witnessed the burning hellish scene of Hellfire Castle that night, so they all ended up dying on this island... Whether it’s internationally or domestically, people have always been wary of those cursed, so their bodies were buried on this island, exactly where remains unknown, maybe the beaches we walked on, the squares..."

This was somewhat creepy.

"What about the sealing? What’s that about?" Sui Yi asked.

This question made Ming Lanyuan, Cao Ling, and Zhong Lang all take another look at her.

What exactly was she here for, seeming so unaware of anything, did she have a different purpose from them?

"The curse was too terrifying, even the Empire was scared, but it’s not like the Hell Prince was the only powerful figure in the world, there were several strong White Magicians in the Empire... they forcefully sealed the island and cut off the curse the Hell Prince had placed on the Emperor. However, they were powerless against the cursed grudge within the island... eventually, they had to seek international aid... cough, at the time the leader of the White Magicians had a very good relationship with a super strong individual from our country, out of a spirit of humanitarianism and loyalty, this super powerful individual from our country went there... and placed a seal on the island, in academic terms, it’s called Yellow Springs Naihe"

"Yellow Springs Naihe is a sealing technique to convert the ghostly grudges, it’s already a powerful Forbidden Technique. The master at that time, although powerful, couldn’t complete it alone... those foreign powers couldn’t cooperate with him, so at that time he could only use other artifacts..."

"A Yellow Springs Sword, an Naihe Seal," Zhong Lang said, his expression somewhat grave; "This powerful individual was the seventh generation Sect Leader of Mount Mao, Yellow Springs, respected as Yellow Springs Dragon Master because of his powerful skills... if we really considered, he would qualify as an SSS level BOSS."

SSS... That’s incredibly impressive.

And both the Yellow Springs Sword and the Naihe Seal would belong to the super-premium divine artifact category, the kind of equipment in games that would only drop after defeating the ultimate boss.

They absolutely didn’t match the specifications of this instance.

Cao Ling wondered why she had impulsively accepted this mission before.

Or was it that she had offended her superiors at some point, and was thus conned.

"That was the situation back then, after all those people, including the Hell Prince, each one was an S-class freak, especially the Hell Prince, a quasi-SS master, who specialized in Cursed Grudge Techniques, with terrifying lethality. However, he was still not a match for Yellow Springs Dragon Master, only because this person had somehow expanded the damage of the curse technique by tenfold, forcing Yellow Springs Dragon Master to have no choice but to use the Yellow Springs Sword and Naihe Seal..."

"One hundred thousand lives, Curse Evolvement," Ye Zixu suddenly interjected, causing everyone present to be startled.

Ye Zixu didn’t look at anyone else but continued speaking: "The power of a curse lies in its growth and proliferation properties, the more powerful the curse, the more terrifying these properties. The death of those one hundred thousand was due to his use of the Cursed Grudge Seed, which erupted and spread in a short amount of time, due to the agony inflicted by the curse, causing those one hundred thousand to be assimilated into Cursed Bodies, thus turning Hellfire Castle and the island into a massive Cursed Field; ultimately, those figures from the past couldn’t suppress it and had to use the Yellow Springs Sword and Naihe Seal as an Array Plate, setting up the Yellow Springs Naihe Seal, locking the island’s Cursed Grudge Power..."

While it was uncertain why Ye Zixu knew all this, no one else asked; instead, Cao Ling focused on one aspect.

"So the years that followed were... an imperfect seal? Or did the seal leak?"

Ye Zixu shook his head, "When I came, I saw that the Cursed Grudge Power on the island had almost vanished, only two possibilities exist, one is that the effect of the Yellow Springs Naihe Seal revealed itself over the years, causing the curse power of Hellfire Castle to diminish over these hundreds of years, as could be seen from the experiences of the past six generations of Castle Lords..."
