Even after a few more years, both of you might disappear together.

We must let outsiders speculate that both of you perished because of the curse.

This might be very difficult for the Liao family, but…"

No.4 didn't finish his words, when a Ninth Tier from the Liao family nodded.

"We understand, this curse is basically unresolvable.

Even though our family has the copper coffin suppressed, it can't be completely without effects.

We should have died already; now we're just faking death and disappearing, which has already exceeded our best expected outcome.

Everything requires a price to be paid.

Even if you didn't say it, these days, I was also planning to die first.

It's still unclear how the Old Master got cursed, his last wish was to forbid us from going again.

We naturally know that even if we went, we wouldn't find anything, and it would be powerless, only making things worse.

We cannot let people know that the curse of our family has been resolved.

It's just that I haven't decided where to go."

Another Ninth Tier from the Liao family also calmly nodded.

"Once everything is arranged, in two years, I will also die in the eyes of everyone.

This ordeal for the Liao family was destined ever since the Old Master went to the Abyss.

Now is already the best outcome.

The technique of our family's copper coffin, the Family Head can already hold the flag.

Even if it declines, there isn't any danger of annihilation.

Instead, it's a test for the family."

No.4 looked at the two Ninth Tiers from the Liao family, and there's no need for any advice.

The Liao family has always adhered to a strategy of keeping a low profile, not standing out.

Not top-notch, yet also has depth, thus the inheritance remains stable.

Doing things like him, all are very cautious.

No need for him to say, these two Ninth Tiers from the Liao family are also very aware.

The impact of them dying because of the curse is far less than the impact of their having resolved the curse.

Might even be, because they resolved the curse, they would attract coveters and bring greater danger.

They dare not leak even a bit of information, not even the current Liao Family Head, who still thinks they both are still under the curse.

All believe that their complexion worsens day by day, their vitality wanes more and more, with few days left.

No.4 secretly sighed in relief; the powerful figures of the family are well aware, which is certainly very fortunate.

"Go to the Southern Sea.

In secrecy there, someone will assist you.

And no one will know you are there."

"We will arrange everything properly, in fact, we have prepared for many years." The strong figure from the Liao family smiled, long prepared.

If they do not die, the Liao family's copper coffin will be estimated to be too strong.

A thing, can be precious, can be strong, but if it's rare, particularly strong, and some skill doesn't require particularly strong power, may even be mastered by outsiders.

This is the start of disaster.

Signs have already appeared in these two years.

Also, who cursed Old Master Liao?

If they could resolve such a terrible bloodline curse, wouldn't the other party notice them?

Wouldn't it bring greater danger?

Considered from many aspects, at least one of them must die, or both must die.

Since childhood, the Liao family's education has been about extreme prosperity leading to decline, that when the limelight is at its peak, it's time to die.

No one in the Liao family has ever served as a top official in the Divine Dynasty, nor have they had a political enemy of life and death.

Because they are aware, knowing their family cannot be such a powerful force.

If the family had ten plus Ninth Tiers, naturally there would be no need.

But the problem is there are none.

Never has there been a time with more than three powerful figures simultaneously.

Having three is already the family's peak period.

Several days later, in the core area of the Liao family, potent vitality quickly extinguished and Death Qi began to surge.

From far away, people could feel it.

The next day, news spread that a Ninth Tier of the Liao family had fallen.

The reason naturally was not due to the curse but due to an accident in cultivation, went devilic, life cut off and died.

The number of hot orders from the Liao family in these two years instantly cooled down.

Everyone is well aware.

Especially during the funeral, the ominous aura, even the copper coffin seemed difficult to suppress.

The fallen strong figure was not buried in the ancestral tomb of the Liao family.

Instead, it is said, according to his last wish, he was buried in the Southern Sea.

Carrying the copper coffin to the Southern Sea, the ones who went were invited from the Feng family.

Now, no matter what the Liao family says, the real strong figures have hearts like mirrors.

The Ninth Tier of the Liao family was killed by the curse, even for safety, dared not be buried in the ancestral tomb, had to entrust the Feng family to seal him somewhere in the Southern Sea.

The fall of a Ninth Tier is always a big deal.

Even in Jade Tablet's information, it would certainly be mentioned.

The Emperor Kuihou's information channel unknowingly invited a big-mouthed Cultivator, who explained the matter of the curse clearly.

Also speculated that the Ninth Tier of the Liao family died of the curse.

There were people from the Liao family arguing with him.

The Emperor Kuihou thus shifted the blame from the channel, onto the guest.

The guest's viewpoint does not represent the channel's viewpoint.

Seeing the rising heat, the Emperor Kuihou also learned, started inviting two guests to argue in the channel later.

And Yu Ziqing didn't care about anything, making money selling Jade Tablets, renting channels.

No matter what, he always profited without losses.

No.4 just quietly observed for two days, confirmed no major issues, everything under control, and then quietly left.

He arrived all the way at Almsgiving Town, saw Yu Ziqing.

Yu Ziqing heated the cup, made tea, the movements seamlessly connected, while making tea he casually asked.
