1670 You Just Had to Scheme Against Her

Che Ruman turned around to look at him.

That sleazy man with an ape's chin chuckled, "Miss Che, do you still remember the mission the mentor issued to Qiao Mu's team."

Che Ruman was taken aback, and then her expression became delighted. "You mean that we should find Qiao Mu's team, follow them stealthily, then find a chance to steal the cores from the spiritual beasts they killed?"

The sleazy man stroked his goatee and cackled. "That is the poorest plan. How many spiritual beasts can we snatch from them? If they become vigilant, we will definitely not end well in their hands considering their members' strength."

"Then what good plan do you have?"

The sleazy man pulled out a talisman that was dazzling with a blue light. "Miss Che, please look at this."

"This is a yellow-rank puppet curse. If we secretly stick this onto the little girl, then she'll be sure to be at our bidding for seven days." The sleazy man cackled again.

Che Ruman and the others were stunned.

The level-14 mystic cultivator, Zhu Bozong, couldn't help but crease his brows. "How come you have such a foul thing as a curse?"

No matter where, curse practitioners were a detestable existence.

Their mentalities were too sinister and frightening. They always hid in the dark to give people a fatal attack. Yet those whom they harmed were completely ignorant of what was going on.

The sleazy man smiled. "You don't have to bother about that. I have my own channels at any rate. Just say, are you in or not? I'm telling you guys, this curse of mine has a spectacular origin. The cultivation of the master who crafted this curse is much higher than that lass surnamed Qiao. She'll definitely be afflicted unbeknownst to anyone."

"Hehe." After saying this, he pulled out another talisman from his pocket. "This is an invisibility talisman that I bought from the black market by lucky chance."

"If Fairy Huanghe hadn't reminded me earlier, I would have forgotten about this invisibility talisman." The sleazy man glanced at Li Qian. "How about it, Young Sir Li. Are you in or not? Do you dare?"

"You want me to apply the invisibility talisman on myself to sneak over to Qiao Mu and use this puppet curse on her?" Li Qian promptly understood.

"But of course. Your cultivation is the highest out of all of us here, so your movements will be the most agile. There is no one more suited for this task than Young Sir Li."

On the side, Che Ruman gritted her teeth. "Li Qian, let's just do it like that!"

Li Qian involuntarily creased his brows, but he couldn't go against Che Ruman's wishes. "Will other people see through this invisibility talisman?"

After all, the other party's team had a level-three spiritual cultivator.

However, the sleazy man's eyes merely glinted, and then he reassured with a chuckle, "How could that be possible? This invisibility talisman will absolutely make you invincible in those 15 minutes it is effective for. Don't worry, the cultivation of the talisman master that crafted this invisibility talisman is definitely greater than level three spiritual cultivation. You absolutely will not be exposed in front of Qiao Mu's team!"

These words didn't reassure them much at all.

Li Qian knitted his brows, but in the end, he couldn't say no to Che Ruman's entreating gaze. He planned to try it despite the risk.

"Where can we find Qiao Mu's team?"

The sleazy man's eyes gleamed, and he cackled, "That's too simple. If we follow this billowing mystic energy to its source, we will naturally be able to find that Miss Qiao."

Che Ruman was startled. She shouted in surprise, "You mean that she's the one who's causing this commotion with level advancement?"

The sleazy man shrugged. "Perhaps."
