Chapter 462 - 460: Death Curse Technique
Chapter 462 - 460: Death Curse Technique
Under the guidance of Captain Meng, Tie Xiong and others arrived at the Black Fish Hotel.
Because he often came this way, Captain Meng was quite familiar with the route and led everyone to Qingfeng’s door.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
With the sound of knocking on the door, Qingfeng slowly opened it.
"Taoist Qingfeng, we meet again!"
Among the group, the one most familiar with Qingfeng was Li Xun.
Therefore, he was responsible for knocking on the door and greeting him.
"Brother Li!"
Qingfeng also greeted him with a smile.
Then, he looked at Tie Xiong and the others with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Brother Li, this is..."
"Qingfeng, I want to find the Immortal Taoist. Do you know if he is here?"
Li Xun didn’t waste much time on pleasantries and got straight to the point.
"The Immortal Taoist went out the day before yesterday."
"It seems he went to meet with Senior Xiao."
Following the predetermined script, Qingfeng answered softly.
"When will he be back?"
Li Xun asked again.
"That... I don’t know!"
Qingfeng shook his head, then added, "Based on past timings, it should be in the next couple of days."
Hearing this response, Tie Xiong and the others wore serious expressions.
Two days, not really long but not short either.
Who knows what unexpected events might occur in these two days.
"Brother Li, why are you looking for the Immortal Taoist?"
Qingfeng asked with great curiosity.
"Oh, it’s a long story!"
Upon hearing this, Li Xun couldn’t help but sigh.
However, knowing that the young man before him was particularly close with Zhenyuan, he took the initiative to briefly narrate everything that happened at Hemei Hospital.
After listening, Qingfeng’s face slightly paled, with fear evident in his eyes.
He looked completely like a frightened young lad.
"Should I give the Immortal Taoist a call to see if he can take a moment to come back?"
Qingfeng hesitated for a moment, then offered.
As soon as he said this, Li Xun couldn’t help but glance at Tie Xiong with a smile.
What were they waiting for?
Just for this sentence, of course!
Li Xun beamed and said, "Then I’ll trouble you, Taoist Qingfeng!"
"You’re too kind, Brother Li!"
Qingfeng smiled, took out his phone, and called Zhenyuan.
After a few words with him, Qingfeng hung up the phone.
"How was it, when can the Immortal Taoist come back?"
Li Xun asked eagerly.
"The Immortal Taoist said he’ll be back soon!"
Qingfeng smiled and replied.
"Great!"
Li Xun’s face lit up, knowing that if Zhenyuan returned, the issues they faced would surely be resolved perfectly.
The others were also very happy.
Especially Sun Zhen and Sima Xuan.
They had long heard of the famous Immortal Taoist and knew that he was a great sage, capable of seeing through the past and predicting the future—way beyond anything these conmen could do.
If they could get the help of this great sage, their lives would be saved!
Seeing this, Captain Meng went downstairs to book a few rooms, allowing Tie Xiong and the others to rest while waiting for Zhenyuan’s return.
About an hour later, Lu Heng, donning Zhenyuan’s mantle, arrived slowly.
"Immortal Taoist!"
Upon seeing Zhenyuan, Li Xun promptly stood up to greet him.
The others followed suit and got up to meet him.
Tie Xiong, of course, was among them.
This was his first face-to-face meeting with the so-called "Immortal Taoist."
Zhenyuan had the appearance of a jade-like face and chin decorated with three strands of long beard. Though simply dressed, he exuded a unique sense of ethereal elegance.
"What an aura! Truly an ’Immortal Taoist’!"
Tie Xiong praised inwardly.
Lu Heng nodded slightly at everyone, as a gesture of acknowledgment.
Then, his gaze swept over the crowd.
Those present were ones he deliberately allowed to stay.
Individuals like Dean Zhang and Sun Jie were guilty and deserved death.
As for Nurse Chief Lin...
Although she was involved in the "cancer treatment project," her involvement was not deep and she wasn’t privy to the inside story.
Moreover, from what he saw in the memories of Cheng Wan, Song Feifei, and others, this nurse had much better character compared to Nurse Chief Wang, so Lu Heng decided to let her stay.
Finally, Lu Heng’s eyes fell on Tie Xiong.
Even though Tie Xiong was his creation, at this moment, Lu Heng was playing the role of Zhenyuan.
In such a scenario, appearances have to be maintained!
Simultaneously, Tie Xiong also felt Zhenyuan’s gaze upon him.
In that instant, he felt like he was immobilized, like his very blood had frozen.
"Truly a sage who could rival the Blood Spirit Master!"
Tie Xiong was inwardly terrified, breaking into a cold sweat instantly.
Seeing this, Li Xun quickly stepped forward to explain, "Immortal Taoist, this is Group Leader Tie Xiong!"
"He joined us at the Religious Affairs Bureau half a month ago and is now the leader of the special operations group."
"We are all on the same side, maybe you could..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Heng snorted coldly, "Evil ways!"
However, he eventually withdrew his gaze.
"Phew..."
Li Xun and Tie Xiong both let out a deep breath.
The others also sighed in relief.
From the earlier reaction, they almost thought the Immortal Taoist was going to make a move against Tie Xiong.
"Immortal Taoist, we have come to seek your help this time!"
With the situation eased, Li Xun said with a bitter smile.
"Oh?"
Lu Heng feigned curiosity, "What exactly would Young Friend Li seek assistance with?"
"Immortal Taoist, here’s the situation..."
Thus, Li Xun recounted every detail of the nightmare they encountered at Hemei Hospital and all the events of the past two days, without omitting anything.
Lu Heng listened and couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
Seeing this, Li Xun asked nervously, "Immortal Taoist, is there no way to resolve this?"
"No!"
Lu Heng shook his head, thinking that the matter would naturally resolve if he didn’t intervene further.
Lightly stroking his long beard, he replied in a solemn tone, "If I’m not mistaken, you all have become victims of the Death Curse Technique!"
"The... Death Curse Technique?"
The crowd was intrigued upon hearing this term.
"The ’Death Curse Technique’ is an ancient curse technique."
"Those cursed by it will meet a violent death within three days!"
Lu Heng explained as his gaze swept around, suddenly pointing to Captain Meng.
"Me... What about me?"
Captain Meng was bewildered.
He hadn’t meddled in those messy affairs and had stayed in Nanxiang City, so how could this relate to him?
Lu Heng replied indifferently, "Except for him, all of you have been cursed by the Death Curse Technique!"
"This... This can’t be true, can it?"
"In the end, Group Leader Tie, Shanshan, and I all defeated the centipede monster and survived!"
Li Xun questioned, filled with disbelief.
