99: Fire-attribute forbidden spell

A piercing siren sounded, and the ambulance took Xing Chenyu away.

Multiple auxiliary Practitioners simultaneously used Spirit Skills, barely managing to stabilize Xing Chenyu's injuries.

"Can a fallen realm be restored?"

The green bead embedded in Xing Wenan's left eye rotated rapidly.

"No, the Divine Power he comprehended is also gone," an older ambulance staff member said.

Xing Wenan closed his eyes.

A twenty-four-year-old Qi Refining Realm Practitioner, even with an F-Rank Talent, wouldn't cultivate to the Qi Refining Realm at twenty-four!

His son was completely crippled, ruined by Lu Yuan!

"This isn't over!"

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, the Prosperous employees watching fell silent.

The Censorate came to the headquarters every day for investigations, and they had more or less heard rumors.

"Why don't they arrest Lu Yuan? He beat Xing Chenyu into this state, even causing Xing Chenyu to fall from Divine Power Realm Peak to Qi Refining Realm!"

An employee asked.

"They signed a combat contract before the fight. Let alone Xing Chenyu, even an Alliance Leader's son has to accept it as long as he's not dead!"

"He was too ruthless, directly crippling Xing Chenyu, but he deserved it. Xing Chenyu relied on his father being the chairman to mess with many women in the company."

The employees whispered.

Xing Chenyu, son of the current chairman of Prosperous, and grandson of the former chairman.

Many women in the company, to climb the ranks, willingly had relations with him.

Of course, some were forced, and Xing Chenyu's mother dealt with all of them using various methods.

Seeing Xing Chenyu's miserable state, a few informed employees showed no sympathy, instead feeling he got what he deserved.

"Your disciple ruined my son."

Xing Wenan's tone and expression lacked the previous anger, instead being very calm.

"It's only because Lu Yuan won. If the roles were reversed, Lu Yuan would be even worse off," Tang Jinghui said.

When Lu Yuan said that slap was for him, Tang Jinghui felt inexplicably touched.

He had no wife and no children.

After Fu Jingjie graduated, Tang Jinghui felt very lonely.

Fortunately, this loneliness disappeared after taking Lu Yuan as a disciple.

Lu Yuan stared indifferently at Xing Wenan, not showing the slightest fear despite the disparity in their strengths.

"You were the one who started trouble with me first!" Lu Yuan thought.

Even if the King of Heaven himself came to trouble him, he would retaliate!

To Lu Yuan's surprise, Xing Wenan actually initiated a reconciliation.

Under the sunlight, the green bead embedded in Xing Wenan's left eye shimmered.

He was very calm now, calmer than ever.

"I can drop the matter of Lu Yuan crippling Chenyu, and I can even reconcile with you. We can be good brothers who talk about everything, just like before."

"Jinghui, do you still remember?"

Xing Wenan showed a reminiscent expression, a smile playing on his lips.

"When we guarded the border, there was a kind of purple fruit outside the city that tasted especially delicious when chilled. You and Shen Jun secretly snuck out of the city to pick them, and when the Legion Commander found out, Shen Jun said I loved them and that I made you two pick them."

"Later, the Legion Commander was too lazy to interrogate us, so he simply picked a huge pile of purple fruits and made us eat until we were full, until we threw up, until we felt nauseous just seeing them."

Making dumplings?

Lu Yuan noticed his teacher's expression was moved, his eyes welling up with tears.

"We are the best brothers. You regard Lu Yuan as a son; perhaps Chenyu and Lu Yuan can also be like us when we were young." Xing Wenan tried hard to repair his relationship with Tang Jinghui.

Looking at Xing Wenan, who was playing the emotional card so frantically, Lu Yuan felt the dumplings were too hot.

Sure enough, Xing Wenan revealed his true intentions.

"Give me your self-created Fire Attribute Forbidden Curse, and I am willing to transfer twenty percent of Prosperous's shares to you."

Fire Attribute Forbidden Curse!

When these five words came out of Xing Wenan's mouth, all of Lu Yuan's doubts were answered.

His teacher actually possessed a Fire Attribute Forbidden Curse!

The reason Xing Wenan repeatedly targeted him, ordered the Supply Point No. 35 guard team to assassinate him, and even went so far as to make the City of Chaos, which he had cultivated for many years, issue a warrant for his arrest.

He did all this simply to threaten his teacher with him, forcing his teacher to hand over the Fire Attribute Forbidden Curse to Xing Wenan!

This was a Forbidden Curse! Spirit Skills of this caliber could easily cover a fifty-mile radius, effortlessly destroying a county town!

And Forbidden Curse-level Spirit Skills were controlled by the Alliance Leaders and Hall Master of the Seven Alliances and One Hall.

Even with the spiritual power to cast a Forbidden Curse, many Domain Realm, Saint Realm, and even God Emperor Realm Practitioners had no way to obtain one!

"Xing Wenan..." Tang Jinghui's throat moved, wanting to say many things.

But in the end, it turned into a sigh.

"Lu Yuan, let's go," Tang Jinghui said.

"Help me, don't look back."

Tang Jinghui lowered his voice, his face flushed red from holding it in.

He wanted to cough but kept suppressing it.

"Teacher." Lu Yuan stood behind Tang Jinghui without a trace, his arm grasping his shoulder.

Cold!

Bone-chilling cold!

"Now you know why I wear a down jacket every day," Tang Jinghui said with a haggard smile, then got into the car and coughed violently.

A streak of blood splattered on the car window. Tang Jinghui curled up in the back seat, his eyes complex as he stared at Xing Wenan through the window.

At this moment, Xing Wenan was being interrogated by the Censorate; this would likely be his normal state for a long time to come!

"Teacher, your body..." Lu Yuan hesitated to speak.

He knew Tang Jinghui was not well when they first met, but he didn't expect the injury to be so severe.

"When I was young, to earn demon crystals to revive Shen Jun, I was accidentally bitten half to death by a fierce beast. I was lucky to survive," Tang Jinghui said lightly.

"Can it be cured?"

Lu Yuan immediately thought of the Wood Element Alliance Leader.

The Wood Element Alliance Leader was a dual Practitioner, with his second profession being an auxiliary one.

"It could have been cured if I found Alliance Leader Yin when I was first injured, but how could I have known Alliance Leader Yin when I was young? By the time I did, it was too late."

After recovering for a while, Tang Jinghui regained his usual demeanor.

"You can gain combat attributes from disasters. Acquire the Fire Attribute as soon as possible; I want to teach you the Fire Attribute Forbidden Curse," Tang Jinghui said seriously.

Forbidden Curse: Exploding Flame Burns the Heavens was his self-created work.

Unfortunately, he hadn't taken in any disciples who awakened the Fire Attribute over the years. Fortunately, although Lu Yuan was a Puppet Master, he could gain the Fire Attribute through disasters.

"Give it to me?" Lu Yuan always felt that Tang Jinghui was making his final arrangements.

And the Fire Attribute Forbidden Curse that Xing Wenan dreamed of and tried every possible means to obtain, his teacher was just giving it to him.

"I trust you with it. As long as you use the Forbidden Curse to kill demons and monsters, or those who deserve to be killed, it's fine," Tang Jinghui said.

"Xing Wenan has ill intentions, so I can't possibly give him the Forbidden Curse."

Tang Jinghui sighed, lamenting how things had changed.

He thought coming to Hengsheng Headquarters today would turn hostility into friendship, but it ended up like this.

Forbidden Curse: Exploding Flame Burns the Heavens!

Lu Yuan silently remembered the name of this Forbidden Curse. When he returned to school, it would be time for him to start cultivating it.

The car started, and the main entrance of Hengsheng Headquarters was in chaos.

More and more Censorate Prosecutors gathered at the entrance, carrying thick briefcases.

They took out their identification and walked in, interrogating Prosperous's high-ranking officials one by one.

Surrounded by Prosecutors and listening to one sharp question after another, Xing Wenan rubbed his temples.

Watching Lu Yuan and Tang Jinghui's special car leave, Xing Wenan removed the green bead embedded in his left eye, revealing a shriveled, empty left eye socket.

"I've humbled myself and begged you so much. We were brothers once, can't you even help me with this small favor?"

Xing Wenan gazed at the blue sky and white clouds.

"Then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
