Chapter 157: Cold Curse

Tianyunzhou Tiandao League, side hall.

Xuanyuan Heng frowned, and the whole person crawled on the ground. In front of him was Xuanyuan Ke.

Xuanyuan Ke's whole body suddenly dropped to a teenager, and his back was particularly withered.

Xuanyuan Heng knelt quietly without saying a word, his eyes fixed on Xuanyuan Ke, not daring to deviate a bit.

"What? Still unwilling to tell the truth?!"

Xuanyuan Ke stared at Xuanyuan Heng with red eyes. If he hadn't been kneeling on the ground at this moment, he would have rushed over and torn him into pieces.

"I am guilty, I shouldn't have watched him die without saving him!"

Xuanyuan Heng knelt on the ground, muttering to himself, repeating the same sentence over and over again, undoubtedly putting all the faults on himself.

"..."

In response to him, Xuanyuan Ke's endless silence.

His ups and downs reflected his emotions at the moment, but when his eyes fell on Xuanyuan Heng, he took them all back again, with a helpless look on his face.

"Forget it, forget it. You have always been a guy who swallows all the bitterness in my stomach. I don't know what happened in the secret realm, and I don't know why Chu Ling really died in it?"

"But you have to remember that he is your junior brother after all. Even if I gave you up for a place, he is still your junior brother. For so many years, he has been busy for the entire Xuanwu Building. Even if he has no credit, he has worked hard!"

Xuanyuan Ke breathed a sigh of relief, but finally swallowed his words back.

"You are no longer a disciple of my Xuanwu Building. I shouldn't treat you like this. Come together..."

His decadent look seemed to have suddenly given up something.

Xuanyuan Heng felt uncomfortable watching him, but he could do nothing but maintain his original posture.

"Elder Ke...Chu Ling..."

All the words that had been organized were on the tip of his tongue, but when they were about to be spoken, they were swallowed quietly.

Xuanyuan Ke looked disappointed, shook his head, and prepared to leave dejectedly.

"Elder..."

Xuanyuan Heng looked at the back of the man who looked a dozen years older, and all the suppressed emotions in his chest suddenly came out. He made a decision and hurriedly called Xuanyuan Ke.

Xuanyuan Ke stopped when he heard this and turned to look at Xuanyuan Heng.

"Chu Ling, Chu Ling is a spy. He admitted that Master's death was related to him!"

Xuanyuan Heng said this in one go.

The eyes were fixed on Xuanyuan Ke, without any cowardice.

Xuanyuan Ke met that gaze, and his whole body was shocked, as if he had been hit by something, and his pupils shrank suddenly.

"You...what did you say?"

"I said that Junior Brother Chu Ling is a spy, and Master's death was related to him. He told me these things in the secret realm!"

Xuanyuan Heng stood up and answered neither servilely nor arrogantly.

He is at fault for the current situation of Xuanwu Tower!

But just as Su Ming said, there might be spies in Xuanwu Tower.

If he doesn't tell the truth, he will suffer more in the future.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Xuanyuan Ke controlled his trembling body, tried to make himself look calmer, and asked Xuanyuan Heng for confirmation again.

"Yes, in adversity, I heard it clearly. The current priority is not to worry about these, but there are other spies in Xuanwu Tower. We should find a way to pull them out. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles!"

Xuanyuan Heng tried to calm himself down, and the words he said were very different from his usual behavior!

Xuanyuan Ke looked at everything in front of him, and his sad face was inexplicably stained with a bit of joy.

"Heng'er has really grown up. It hasn't been long since he went to the Emperor Xian Sect, and the whole person seems to have changed. It seems that the head of the Su sect is also a wonderful person!"

He admired sincerely, and his words were full of relief, but perhaps more of pride.

Xuanyuan Heng felt very uncomfortable when he heard these words.

"Elder Ke, the most urgent thing is to find the spy in Xuanwu Tower!"

He repeated again, but Elder Ke didn't seem to take these words to heart at all.

In front of him, Xuanyuan Ke took out a small box that looked very ordinary from his pocket.

The whole body of the small box was painted red, and a particularly delicate pattern was outlined on it with black lines. It looked extremely strange and didn't look like something that existed in Tianyunzhou.

"Heng'er, this thing was left to you by your master. It has been with me for so many years. You are now in the Nascent Soul stage, and you have a good master like Master Su. Your future is limitless. I will give this thing to you today!"

As he spoke, he stuffed the small box into Xuanyuan Heng's hand.

The box was not big, about the same size as Xuanyuan Heng's palm, but it felt particularly heavy in his hand.

Xuanyuan Heng was curious, and after hesitating for a long time, he pushed the thing out.

"I didn't know that Master left such a thing, but now that I have left Master, it is really inconvenient to take anything from Master! Elder Ke should keep this thing. It belongs to Xuanwu Tower, and I can't take it for myself!"

He refused righteously, but Xuanyuan Ke refused to accept it.

"Are you sure you don't want this thing? I heard from my senior brother that this small box was originally yours, and the things inside were your belongings when you were a child. I kept it for so many years just to give it to you at the right time! Even so, you are unwilling to accept it?"

Xuanyuan Heng looked unconvinced, but looking at the small box, a sense of familiarity rose in his heart, causing his hand to reach out to the box uncontrollably.

The moment his palm touched the box, a bone-piercing coldness spread from his fingertips to his whole body, and he could not move.

"Pah..."

The box fell to the ground, and the collision caused the box to open, and a small transparent ball rolled out from it!

It was a cold spell!

Xuanyuan Heng's mind was alarmed!

At that moment, he was cursed by a cold spell!

His innocent and puzzled eyes looked at Xuanyuan Ke in front of him in astonishment.

Xuanyuan Ke's hunched body straightened up all of a sudden. All this happened too quickly, and Xuanyuan Heng had no time to react at all.

He wanted to mobilize the spiritual power around him, but found that his whole body was sealed by the cold power just now, and his limbs were in a state of weakness.

He blinked his eyes and looked at Elder Ke in confusion.

"Elder Ke, what's going on?"

Xuanyuan Heng seemed to realize something, but still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Xuanyuan Ke was like a chameleon, and his face, which was full of sadness just now, regained its calmness in an instant.

"What's going on? It's just what you thought!"

A word without any warmth completely extinguished the last glimmer of hope in Xuanyuan Heng's heart.
