Chapter 1671 (2/2)

Long Chen pointed a finger at that person. The black mark that had been rapidly spreading reversed. Black qi surged out of it toward Long Chen’s finger, and Long Chen’s arm began to turn black.

“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, you can’t!” That disciple immediately cried out, wanting to pull away. However, Long Chen’s finger had a powerful suction force that prevented him from doing so.

All the disciples’ hearts were pounding wildly. Long Chen was using himself to take the curse. That was because this kind of curse was extremely difficult to deal with. It could not be expelled because if it was forcibly expelled, it would kill that disciple along with it.

Long Chen smiled. “Since you could brave death and show your true feelings, how could I let you die? Don’t worry, this little curse can’t do anything to me.”

The black mark on the disciple quickly vanished. Long Chen raised his hand, and his Spiritual Strength surged. Black qi was leaping chaotically around his hand.

“Meng Qi, help me out.”

Meng Qi nodded and formed a few hand seals. A spiritual rune appeared between her hands and fell on Long Chen’s black palm.

Buzz.

That rune landed on the black qi, and a scene actually appeared within it. It revealed a skinny elder forming hand seals with a shocked expression.

“Gate master?!” That disciple immediately recognized the elder.

“Someone despicable enough to curse his own disciple can be called a gate master? Looks like you need to be smelted down and reforged anew. Get going.”

Long Chen looked at the bitterly struggling elder within the black qi. Long Chen’s Yuan Spirit appeared and pointed a finger. A ray of divine light shot into the black qi.

“No!”

That elder let out a single cry before his head exploded. His Yuan Spirit died.

This kind of contract was double-sided. Although one person was the victim and the other was in control, there was still a spiritual connection between them.

Although Long Chen’s Spiritual Strength was great, he wasn’t skilled in soul arts. Meng Qi was the one capable of using the connection formed by the curse to form a bridge back to the elder. That elder wasn’t even able to break the connection once she used it. Long Chen didn’t give him any chance and killed him while he could only watch.

Once that elder was killed, the black qi scattered. Lightning runes appeared on Long Chen’s arm, and his originally black arm instantly returned to its normal color.

Long Chen patted the disciple’s shoulder. “Congratulations. Starting now, you are a disciple of my Xuantian Dao Sect. As long as you are loyal to the Xuantian Dao Sect, we will not let you down.”

“Many thanks, senior apprentice-brother Long Chen… I…” That disciple knelt as thanks. In the future, he would no longer be a chess piece.

However, Long Chen held him up, gravely saying, “Men shouldn’t kneel so easily. Amongst brothers, this kind of etiquette is an insult.”

That disciple couldn’t speak through his tears. There was no way for him to express his grat.i.tude.

“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, I was also forced!”

“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, I also have that on my body!”

“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen, please save me!”

Seeing that person being saved, over a thousand disciples immediately began to cry out for Long Chen’s help, causing the others to jump in shock.

“There are actually this many?!”
