Chapter 110: Sword Intent.

Edited by: Mochiusagi

Although Martial Arts is the mainstream power in this world, there are also traces of other extraordinary powers.

For example, Witchcraft, Curses and the like.

Witchcraft and Curses mostly came from the Nanzhao Kingdom.

The Nanzhao Kingdom is located in the Southwest, with a vast region and many uncivilized areas. It is governed by a Sect named ‘Holy Moon Church’.

Even the King of Nanzhao Kingdom is a disciple of the “Holy Moon Church”.

The Sect Leader of the Moon Worship Sacred Church has achieved Great Accomplishment in Witchcraft and Curses. He is extremely terrifying. There was once a Grade 1 Great Grandmaster who did not believe in such things and wanted to sneak into the Moon Worship Sacred Church, the result was he died.

Whether it is Witchcraft or Curses, they were all weird and unpredictable, often killing people quietly.

However, there is a fatal flaw in Witchcraft. That is, it is restricted by vitality.

Those who are full of vitality can almost ignore most Witchcraft.

For example, Martial Artists have polished the fleshy body and they are surging with vitality. They are the nemesis of all Witchcraft.

This was also the reason why the Holy Moon Church is in Nanzhao.

Su Qin didn’t expect to see traces of Witchcraft in Chang’an City.

“Little Qin, are you curious about this jade pendant?” Su Chenghao noticed Su Qin’s gaze.

“I got it by chance when I went out in the morning, this jade pendant just fell at my feet.”

Speaking of this, Su Chenghao quite proudly said: “My luck was good and I immediately picked it up.”

“This jade pendant is worth at least thousands of silver taels.”

Su Chenghao said.

The value of silver in the Tang Empire is very high, and the yearly cost of living for a normal family of four, is usually no more than a few silver taels.

So for 1000 taels, it was enough for a person to buy a house in Chang’an City and live a comfortable life.

Even for the Su Family, 1000 silver taels is not a small number.

“Indeed, the quality of this jade pendant is very good, it can be called rare.” Su Yueyun glanced at the jade pendant in Su Chenghao’s hand, nodded and said.

What priceless and rare treasures did she not see in the Imperial Palace? That’s why when she saw that piece of jade pendant, she was sure that it was very valuable.

“You found it?”

Su Qin’s face showed a hint of coldness.

He was almost certain that someone was targeting Su Chenghao.

Not to mention the value of this jade pendant, the Witchcraft curse attached to it cannot be done by ordinary people.

Su Chenghao’s “happened to picked it up” story was far from the actual meaning behind it.

“There is a problem with the jade pendant.”

Su Qin did not beat around the bush and just said.

“A problem?”

Su Chenghao was surprised.

When he picked up the jade pendant, he was puzzled; but at that time, he subconsciously felt that it was just his good luck, so he didn’t think much about it.

At this moment, hearing Su Qin’s words, his facial expression also turned grave.

“Little Qin, take another look.”

Su Chenghao immediately removed the jade pendant and handed it to Su Qin.

Su Qin took the jade pendant and got a closer look.

Regarding Witchcraft, he only saw some text descriptions in the Shaolin Temple Scripture Pavilion.

As for the real Witchcraft, this is the first time he has seen it.

Su Qin gently stroked the jade pendant, and opened [Eyes of Truth]. He then spread his Divine Sense and slowly poured it into the jade pendant.

In an instant, Su Qin saw the image of a delicate woman covered with a thin veil.

“Is she the real owner of the jade pendant? Was she also the one who attached the curse on it?”

Su Qin thought.

Su Chenghao getting this jade pendant was obviously not a coincidence, but intentional.

The Witchcraft attached to the jade pendant was not a direct curse, but subtle control.

Someone wants to control Su Chenghao through this jade pendant.

Since Su Qin came to Chang’an, even though he lives in the East Palace, he would still check on the Su Family with his Divine Sense every once in a while.

Therefore, even if Su Qin did not come back today, at the latest tomorrow, his Divine Sense would have captured the abnormality of this jade pendant.

So no matter what, Su Chenghao will not be controlled.

But that doesn’t get rid of the fact that someone did something to the Su Family…

Su Qin locked onto the Qi of the woman whose image was inside the jade pendant.

Then, Su Qin walked out of the Su Residence and looked up slightly; towards the whole Chang’an City.

He saw countless Internal Qi’s pervading, both far or near, strong or weak, and finally, Su Qin looked towards a corner in the East of Chang’an City.

“I caught you…”

Su Qin’s expression was calm. He raised his right hand, held out his finger like a sword, and then gently waved it down.

Weng!

An Invisible Sword Intent flashed.

…

At the same time.

In a room of an Inn in Chang’an City.

A woman covered with a thin veil, sat quietly on the bed.

“Saintess.”

“The jade pendant has been sent out this morning.”

“Su Chenghao of the Su Family took it.”

A white-haired old woman walked into the room, stopped not far from the veiled woman, and whispered.

“Got it.”

The veiled woman said softly.

“Saintess…..”

The white-haired old woman hesitated for a bit before finally asking: “The Heart Control Curse is a Holy Secret Technique. It uses 30% of your vitality.”

“Martial Artists under the Upper Realm cannot stop it.”

“But is using it on Su Chenghao from the Su Family worth it?”

The white-haired old woman whispered.

In her opinion, Su Chenghao is just a Grade 7 Martial Artist, not even at the Middle Realm. There was no need to use the ‘Heart Control Curse’.

“It’s worth it.”

The veiled woman glanced at the white-haired old woman: “The Su Family is the family of the current Princess. As long as the Holy Moon Church controls the Su Family, it is equivalent to planting a nail in the Tang Empire.”

“At that time, the Holy Moon Church will truly take root in the Central plain.”

When the veiled woman spoke of this, there was a trace of enthusiasm in her eyes.

“After everything is done, what would you do to the Su Family?” The white-haired old woman thought for a while and asked.

“After everything is done?”

A smile appeared on the face of the veiled woman: “After everything is done, I will sacrifice Su Chenghao and the entire Su Family to the Moon God.”

The Holy Moon Church advocates and believes that the Moon God lives on the moon. Hence every once in a while, the Moon God shall be given sacrifices.

“Yes.”

The white-haired old woman bowed.

“Come out with me.”

The veiled woman slowly got up and was ready to walk out of the Inn.

When suddenly, the veiled woman became stiff.

She can clearly feel that the Life Essence Poisonous Insect within her body was frantically warning her, as if she’s facing some kind of life-threatening danger.

“What’s going on.”

“What the hell is going on.”

The veiled woman was frightened and disturbed, but she couldn’t find out why.

However, at the next moment, when the veiled woman walked to the window and subconsciously looked towards the sky, her expression froze. She was in shock from what she saw.

“This is?!!”

In the eyes of the veiled woman, an intangible Sword Intent seemed to come from the sky. It was constantly growing, as if it supported the Heavens and Earth, filling her vision.
