Sovereign of the Heaven - C277

Just then, a ghost shadow floated out from the statue, its claws grabbing onto Sui Sui’s body, it used its strength and broke Sui Sui into two, the fresh blood and flesh immediately gushing out, following that it floated towards Di Chen.

“Not good,” Di Chen immediately took out a piece of paper with the word “explode” written on it and threw it.

Although she didn’t have much feelings for Suzy, she could not help sighing upon seeing him die so miserably. “Suzy didn’t have any intention of harming others, but she was too greedy and selfish,” she said.

If not for him wanting to grab that scroll just now, he wouldn’t have been killed by the ghost shadow.

Whoosh!

“Jie Wei, come back,” Di Chen suddenly saw a black gas gush out from Sui Sui’s body. Soon after, he saw a ghost shadow float out from Sui Sui’s body.

Di Chen immediately used Blast Character Formula to blast the ghost shadow to pieces. Just a little bit away from killing the ghost shadow.

“That was close,” Di Chen gasped, he really did not expect the ghost shadow to float out from Sui Sui’s body.

Jie Wei saw that the ghost shadow still didn’t understand what it was, and exclaimed in shock: “So those ghost shadow were the souls of the people who died here.”

Only then did Di Chen understand why the ghost shadow he saw before was so familiar. So it was the person who came for the examination, but why would he remain in the Temple of Magi after his soul enters the reincarnation cycle?

Di Chen’s heart was suddenly filled with many questions, but he did not have enough time to ask any more questions. He held the word ‘explode’ slip and looked around, and only after confirming that there were no ghost shadow around, did he relax his guard. His gaze landed on the Sorcerer Statue, and after thinking about it, he walked over.

“Big Brother Di Chen, don’t go over,” Jie Wei was worried that Di Chen might be in danger.

Di Chen waved his hand, and still walked over carefully, slowly approaching the Sorcerer Statue. Fortunately, there was no danger this time, so Di Chen took the scroll in the statue’s hands, then pulled it back.

This scroll had the words “Sorcerer’s Curse” written on it. It was a spell that Di Chen had never seen before and he passed it to Jie Wei.

This Sorcerer’s curse was created by the Sorcerer himself. It was extremely evil, but it was very powerful, and only the Patriarch of the previous generation could train in it. However, after the death of the previous Patriarch, this Sorcerer’s curse disappeared, and he didn’t know where it had fallen to.

Di Chen could tell that the Sorcerer Curse was not an ordinary sorcery and laughed, “It seems that it’s not a loss coming in this time, Jie Long, can you cultivate it now?”

Jie Wei thought about it and said, “It can be, but it will take a long time to cultivate. I won’t be able to learn it in a short time.”

Di Chen laughed: “In any case, we won’t be able to get out in a while, so I’ll train as much as you can. It just so happens that I can break through to the Emperor’s double stage as well.”

This Sorcerer Curse is actually a technique of curses, such as being able to curse others’ illnesses, to curse their souls to dissipate them, etc., the stronger the curse, the harder it is to cultivate, but some of the simpler Sorcerer Curses like the one in front can still be cultivated, she immediately retreated back to the corner of the secret room to start her cultivation.

Di Chen also went around the corner and took out < Soul Painting > to read, the book was the same as before, when Di Chen saw the words, he immediately felt the power of a scholar surge into his body, but absorbing the power from the book was not easy, with Di Chen’s cultivation speed, it would take at least half a month before he could break through into the new realm.

As time passed, the two of them continued to train, unaware that the secret room had already begun to change.

“Hmm?” Because he knew how dangerous it was here, Di Chen was not immersed in his cultivation, and was constantly paying attention to the changes in his surroundings. Di Chen suddenly realised that the secret room seemed to be getting smaller and smaller, previously, it was thirty square meters, but now, it was reduced by half, as if the secret room was growing tighter and tighter.

Di Chen immediately walked to his side and interrupted her cultivation, saying: “Jie Wei, let’s quickly leave this place.”

Jie Qian still didn’t understand and asked puzzledly: “Big Brother Di Chen, what’s wrong? I took a lot of effort to finally learn a little, I was just about to continue learning.”

Di Chen pointed around and said: “Look, if we don’t leave soon, the two of us will be in danger.”

However, Di Chen suddenly realized that the secret room’s door was locked tight, and that he could not open it at all. Di Chen immediately threw a punch, causing the stone door to shake violently, but Di Chen did not smash the door open, as the stone door was even harder than the statues outside. Di Chen smashed the door a dozen times without any signs of breaking down.

“Crap,” Di Chen’s face changed, he was strong, even he could not smash this door, how hard must this door be?

Jie Wei was naturally at his wit’s end and worriedly asked: “Big Brother Di Chen, what should we do?”

Di Chen frowned: “The secret room cannot suddenly change, it must be because we activated the array formation.”

As he spoke, he suddenly thought of the scroll and immediately walked in front of the Sorcerer Statue. As expected, he discovered that the Sorcerer Statue was engraved with runes, and only now did he understand, the Sorcerer Curse was definitely a part of the formation, and once he received the Sorcerer Curse he would activate the formation here. In truth, he could understand, the Sorcerer Curse was the most powerful spell in the entire Witch race, how could it be taken away so easily?

Di Chen suddenly thought of something. If the person who laid the array formation wanted to kill the person who stole the scroll, why not use an even more powerful array or make the secret room shrink faster?

“It looks like this is definitely an assessment,” Di Chen thought to himself. This meant that the formation had intentionally kept some time, this meant that he had deliberately tested the person who had entered, so since that was the case, there must be a way to prevent the formation or escape.

Di Chen thought about it and suddenly thought of something. He looked at Jie Wei and shouted: “Quickly find out if there are any secret rooms to lock this place down.”

This secret room was completely empty. If there was a mechanism or a formation, it would be very easy to see, but the two of them searched around and didn’t find anything.

“Could it be this sculpture?” Di Chen looked around the Sorcerer Statue again, but he didn’t see any sort of trap mechanism at all.

Di Chen stared at the statue and thought for a while before saying: “Maybe it’s inside the statue, I should try breaking it.”

Jie Qian immediately stopped Di Chen and said: “Big Brother Di Chen, this is the Sorcerer Statue, after it is broken, you will be met with the revenge of the Sorcerer.”

Witch race was very respectful towards the Sorcerer and would never rashly destroy the statue of the Sorcerer.

Di Chen said: “If we can’t leave this secret room, the Sorcerer won’t be able to save us. Jie Long, I know that your Witch race is very respectful to the Sorcerer, but this is only a sculpture, don’t worry.”

Seeing that Di Chen insisted and still nodded, punched towards the Sorcerer Statue. The statue was not as hard as the walls in the secret room, and was directly smashed into pieces by Di Chen.

However, the moment it was shattered, a black figure floated out.

“Not good,” Di Chen’s face changed, he never thought that the statue was still hiding a ghost shadow, he immediately pulled on Jie Wei and retreated, wanting to use Blast Character Formula.

“Wait …” However, at this moment, the black shadow suddenly spoke.

“Can you speak?” This was the first time Di Chen had seen a talking ghost shadow, he immediately retracted his power as a scholar and curiously looked at the black shadow. Only then did he see that the black shadow was different from the ghost shadow before.

Di Chen was startled for a moment, and asked in alarm: “Who exactly are you?”

This black shadow emitted the aura of those ghost shadow, but his consciousness did not dissipate. This guy must have been an expert when he was alive.

“Me?” When the black shadow thought of his identity, a look of amazement appeared on his face. After a long period of silence, he said, “I am the Twentieth Patriarch of the Witch race.”

“What?” Jie Long cried out in shock: “You are Clan Leader Zha Fei?”

She still had another identity, and that was Zha Zhu’s great-grandfather. However, that year, Patriarch Zha Fei had disappeared overnight, and no one knew where he had gone to, or whether he lived or died. After that, she had recreated the position of the patriarch of the Jie clan, but who would have thought that Zha Fei was actually long dead, with her soul in this Temple of Magi?

Di Chen was also surprised, he thought that since it was the Patriarch’s technique, then it must be extremely strong, but he actually died here?

Zha Fei remained silent for a long time before saying, “That’s right, I am Zha Fei. Who are you two?

Jie Qian introduced: “I am Jie Wei, also the daughter of Jie Sang, he is big brother Di Chen.”

“Orange Sang?” Zha Fei laughed. He naturally recognized Jie Sang and said, “So it’s his daughter. She should have probably already inherited the position of Clan Master.”

Back then, when Zha Fei was still around, she had designated Jie Sang as the next Clan Master.

Jie Wei’s expression darkened as he lowered his head and said: “My father is already dead. He was killed by Yan Huai…”

She recounted what happened in Witch race during this period of time.

Zha Fei was helpless and angry after hearing that, she sighed: “Yan Huai is extremely ambitious, when I chose your father to inherit the position of clan leader, I already knew that he was unconvinced, but even though he has ill intentions, in my opinion, he would not do anything too excessive, I never thought that after I died, he would lose control, actually killing your father, and snatching the position of clan leader, it is a pity that I am unable to help you, you have suffered greatly over these years.”

On the contrary, it was more suitable for the ambitious Yan Huai. To be honest, Zha Fei also regretted letting Orange Sang become the Clan Chief. If he was allowed to become an Elder, the effect would be better.

However, Yan Huai was only the Acting Patriarch in the end, and he did not enter the family tree. Thus, he could only hope that Yan Hui could truly inherit the position of the Patriarch.

“Oh right,” Zha Fei asked again. “How did you come in? Don’t you know how dangerous this is?”

Jie Dai once again told the matter of choosing the successor to the clan leader.

Zha Fei laughed bitterly when she heard: “This Ting Fei is too reckless. She clearly knows how dangerous it is to actually let you guys in, but what she said is right, whoever can walk out from here will have the qualifications to continue being the Clan Leader.”
