Chapter 188: Nether Dragon Soul Curse

Due to his act of killing in public, Xiang Shaoyun had attracted the attention of the enforcers . This time, the enforcers did not say anything at all . They only quickly cleaned up Ye Xuan's corpse before leaving .

Xiang Shaoyun wasn't surprised . He was merely a victim and was acting in self defense . If he still had to be punished, it would only show that the Cloud Margin Pavilion was an unjust organization .

As for whether there would be any trouble because of killing Ye Xuan, he did not have the time to consider it for now . He had to quickly leave to avoid being dragged into more trouble .

If he stayed and waited until a King Realm expert decided to make a move on him, he would be completely helpless . Just as Xiang Shaoyun and Mo Mo were about to leave, Li Yaxuan suddenly rushed toward them .

Xiang Shaoyun glanced at the young woman lazily and smiled . "Are you going to attack as well?"

He could sense that this woman was even stronger than Xie Sanqian and Ye Xuan . If she was here to attack, she would be a troublesome opponent .

"Since you have bought two items of extreme cold, you must certainly be aiming for the earthcore fire . I propose a partnership . What do you think?" Li Yaxuan extended an offer of cooperation instead .

The people around them were all envious when they heard Li Yaxuan's invitation . Li Yaxuan was a prized genius of the Cloud Margin Pavilion . Not only was she beautiful, she also had amazing talent in cultivation . Wherever she went, she was the center of attention .

Now that she had personally invited a seemingly ordinary man to join her, the crowd found it hard to accept . Unexpectedly, Xiang Shaoyun rejected her without the slightest hesitation . "Thank you for the offer, but I don't work with strangers . "

After saying that, he left with Mo Mo without sparing Li Yaxuan another glance . Everyone was dumbstruck . That fellow had actually rejected Li Yaxuan's invitation . They found it unforgivable .

Some of them had the urge to go teach Xiang Shaoyun a lesson, but when they recalled that Xiang Shaoyun had just killed Ye Xuan, they suppressed their urge .  

Li Yaxuan did not appear dissatisfied . She smiled and muttered as she gazed at Xiang Shaoyun's departing back, "What an interesting fellow . "

On their way back, Mo Mo asked Xiang Shaoyun curiously, "Young master, why did you reject that young miss? She is both pretty and strong . If you can—"

Xiang Shaoyun waved his hand before she could finish and said, "Never lightly trust a pretty woman . "

Mo Mo asked, "Why?"

"Because they are too good at lying," Xiang Shaoyun sighed . Suddenly, a graceful figure surfaced in his head, and his heart started aching .  

Both Xiang Shaoyun and Mo Mo arrived at the Cloud Margin Restaurant smoothly . Here they would be much safer . After returning to the restaurant, Xiang Shaoyun recovered from his bad mood .

The battle earlier had exhausted quite a lot of his energy . Ye Xuan's ambush had also caused him to suffer some internal injuries . He had to first recover before doing anything else . He had a feeling that he was going to enter the third stage of the Transformation Realm soon .

Ever since he reached the second stage at the Golden River Valley, he had been focusing on consolidating his cultivation base . Only recently did he start growing again . After the Redwolf Bandit battle and the battle earlier, he had reached the very peak of the second stage .

He could feel the astral energy within his body boiling to the point his aura was turning unstable . However, he still suppressed the energy instead of letting himself break through .

Now was not the best time for him to break through . He was in no rush anyway . It would be better to keep suppressing and consolidating his cultivation base for a while more before breaking through .

He was already growing fast enough . He had to put more focus on his foundations, which would enable him to travel further in his path of cultivation . After recovering slightly, Xiang Shaoyun took out the items he had purchased from the auction impatiently .

Right this instant, the Nether Soul Domain within his head began to stir again . Xiang Shaoyun wanted to suppress it, but when he sensed the thirst originating from his very soul, he decided to let nature take its course .

"You better not be some sinister item," Xiang Shaoyun muttered as he stared at the crude headband .

He then loosened up his control over his consciousness, allowing the Nether Soul Domain to expand . An indescribable power seemed to have appeared, trying to summon the headband . The headband actually reacted to the summons as it started emanating clumps of dark misty radiance .

Swish!

The Nether Soul Domain enveloped the headband and pulled it into Xiang Shaoyun's head . After entering the space within Xiang Shaoyun's head, the headband merged completely with the Nether Soul Domain . The two started emanating a similar aura, an aura that gave Xiang Shaoyun an extremely intimate sensation . The black mist emanated by the headband started roiling in his head as the loop turned into a roaring black dragon .

"Roar! Roar!"

The roar was so dreadfully powerful that Xiang Shaoyun's soul couldn't stand the impact, and he fell unconscious . After an unknown amount of time, Xiang Shaoyun woke up with a dazed mind .

"AHHHH!"

The first sensation he felt after waking up was a sharp pain, causing him to yell . He grabbed at his head and dove onto his bed as he thought anxiously, Is this the backlash of absorbing a sinister item? Just as he was about to shout for Mo Mo, an odd symbol suddenly appeared within his mind . The symbol was different from a regular human language; it represented an ancient and profound mnemonic chant .

Nether Dragon Soul Curse!

This was the name of a mnemonic chant originating from the Imperial Nether Clan . The mnemonic chant was a secret exclusive to the Imperial Nether Clan and was not something the members of other clans could cultivate .

Only the members of the Imperial Nether Clan would be able to awaken a Nether Soul Domain that enabled them to cultivate this curse . The benefit of cultivating the Nether Dragon Soul Curse was that Xiang Shaoyun would be able to control the Nether Dragon Soul Headband that was currently in his head .

And what was the benefit of controlling the Nether Dragon Soul Headband? The headband's controller could attach the headband to a person, turning that person into a puppet . In other words, this headband was a tool allowing one to control others . The Nether Dragon Soul Curse was a fearsome curse from the ancient past . Once cursed, one's soul would be locked up by the headband . Escape was nearly impossible .

After obtaining the curse, the pain vanished . As for the Nether Dragon Soul Headband, a clump of an odd black radiance had appeared where the two ends of the headband connected . It looked like a black gem, and it had fully activated the headband's functionality .

It was also at this moment that Xiang Shaoyun realized that the headband wasn't damaged . Instead, its previous owner had merely died, causing the Nether Soul Domain to vanish and leave an empty space where the ends of the headband connected .

Now that a new member of the Imperial Nether Clan had appeared and obtained control over the headband, its dreadful power had reappeared in the world .
