“Be careful!”

The voices of Huo Junhan and Yao Qingyi sounded in her ears at the same time. Shen Yaowei fell into a familiar and warm embrace right on her heels. Her entire body relaxed, like a cat that had been wheedling. She hugged Huo Junhan’s neck and rubbed against his neck. “I’m fine. It’s just that my body was tempered when I subdued the Heavenly Transformation Cauldron just now. I’m still not used to it.”

Huo Junhan was about to pull Shen Yaowei into his arms and hug her slowly. “It’s good that you’re fine.”

Shen Yaowei listened to Huo Junhan’s voice coming from her ear and also felt extremely at ease. She relaxed completely and leaned into his arms.

“Great, the Heavenly Transformation Cauldron has also been subdued. We can leave here.” Qi Yuan’s right arm was still charred. He had also consumed a lot of energy, and his face was a little pale.

At this moment, Shen Yaowei had recovered her strength. She left Huo Junhan’s arms in embarrassment and looked at Qi Yuan. “Thank you, Imperial Preceptor. It’s all thanks to Imperial Preceptor consuming a lot of the power of the Heavenly Transformation Cauldron that I could subdue it so quickly.”

Thinking that the Heavenly Transformation Cauldron was originally a divine weapon that Qi Yuan had taken a fancy to, Shen Yaowei was a little embarrassed.

She originally didn’t want to subdue the Heavenly Transformation Cauldron either, but she didn’t expect that it would become like this due to a freak combination of factors.

Qi Yuan shook his head calmly. “Actually, it’s not you who subdued the Heavenly Transformation Cauldron, but the Heavenly Transformation Cauldron chose you. 1 just said that divine artifacts have intelligence. They will choose their master according to their own treatment. Even without me today, the Heavenly Transformation Cauldron will still choose you. This is all decided.”

“It’s good that the outcome is good. Let’s go, it’s time for us to leave here…” Huo Junhan’s heart skipped a beat as he put away the Divine Sword.

“1’11 go put away the Heavenly Transformation Cauldron too.” As Shen Yaowei spoke, she turned around and looked at the Heavenly Transformation Cauldron behind her. Her heart stirred. With a flick of her finger, she shrunk the tripod.

The Heavenly Transformation Cauldron shrank to a stream of light in the end, turning into a necklace the size of a baby’s palm. It flew over and hung on Shen Yaowei’s neck.

When Shen Yaowei saw this scene, she suddenly felt a sharp killing intent attack.

A suffocating, terrifying aura swept over. Shen Yaowei raised her head and saw a stream of light shatter the sky as it approached. A red and black arrow headed straight for her.

In the blink of an eye, the arrow was only an inch away from Shen Yaowei, not giving her any chance to dodge.

Pfft!

Listening to the muffled sound, Shen Yaowei didn’t feel the pain she imagined. Her gaze trembled as she looked at Yao Qingyi, who flashed in front of her to block.

The arrow pierced deeply into Yao Qingyi’s chest. He widened his eyes and looked down at the arrow.

The arrow fused into his wound and actually left a large area of ferocious and distorted incantations on his skin.

“This is a curse!” Shen Yaowei hurriedly supported Yao Qingyi’s body and helped him lie down.

Yao Qingyi’s muscles twitched in pain. Blood flowed out of the corners of his mouth, and his painful voice kept trembling. “Master, Master!”

Qi Yuan squatted down to check on Yao Qingyi’s situation. His expression was unprecedentedly serious. “It’s the Evil Ghost Curse.”

Despair appeared in Shen Yaowei’s eyes.

The Evil Ghost Curse was the strongest curse of the ghost race.

The power of this curse was enough to completely grind a person’s body and soul into nothingness. During this period, the person who was intermediate could even clearly feel how his body slowly turned into powder and disappeared.

Moreover, the Evil Ghost Curse required a hundred ghost race members to curse together. Unless they found these hundred people at the same time and killed them all, there was a one in ten chance of breaking the curse!

However, the curse only lasted for half an hour.

No matter what, it was too late to save Yao Qingyi!

Shen Yaowei looked at the trembling Yao Qingyi in pain. The guilt in her heart almost swallowed her.

She raised her head and looked indignantly at the figure who was sending the curse in the sky not far away..
