Everything was ready, only lacking the east wind.
Several people stayed in Su Qi's wooden house until the sky was completely dark.
The biting cold wind rushed across the vast sky along the treetops. Several night birds flew by, letting out quiet calls.
Under the moonlight, two figures moved quickly, hidden in the darkness.
"How are we doing this time?"
"We'll come out and look for people directly later. This time, we'll do it openly."
Su Qi nodded and glanced at his phone. They had agreed on a unified time to act, but their side had to move in advance to attract Du Yun's attention.
On the other side, Ma Fengzi also crept close to Du Yun's company.
A week ago, after Su Qi and the other two made their move, he had moved into the company. Besides the hidden guards of his grandfather, Du Tian, there were also security guards.
And Ma Fengzi, by deliberately restraining himself, was hard to detect even when face-to-face, unless he made a move himself.
As for Li Chonglou and the other two men, they stayed at Su Qi's wooden house.
It wasn't necessary for him to show up yet, but to avoid suspicion, it was best to hide here for now.
In fact, for Li Chonglou, it would have been best to find a place to hide himself, or to go to Du Tian's side, which would have minimized Du Yun's suspicion.
Unfortunately, the target of suspicion now was the Divine Messenger Organization.
Li Chonglou could only sigh at this.
With Su Qi's group's strength, the plan should not be a problem. It was rather boring to sit here waiting for news, and there were outsiders nearby, making it inconvenient to practice his skills.
At this moment, the previous man suddenly looked over, his eyes filled with displeasure.
Uh, could he be so foolish as to make a move now?
Li Chonglou's heart skipped a beat. For safety's sake, he decided to let Caihong merge souls first.
Unexpectedly, Old An, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
"Little Li, at the current rate, Caihong shouldn't be able to hold on for much longer. Haven't you thought of a way to break it?"
Li Chonglou was stunned, but before he could respond to Old An, the man approached him again.
"You'd better behave yourself and don't make boss unhappy again!"
Li Chonglou was bewildered.
"Are you sick?"
The man's killing intent suddenly reappeared, and an invisible pressure instantly enveloped the surroundings.
But this move, which had always been effective, yielded no reaction from Li Chonglou.
"Do you want to die?"
The man's eyes burst with intense killing intent, completely like someone who couldn't control their emotions, like those who had gone mad from practicing martial arts.
He was easily provoked and lost his humanity.
Li Chonglou's brows furrowed slightly, not out of fear of his strength, but out of concern that it might expose his own power.
He couldn't help but cast his gaze at the other man.
"Aren't you guys afraid of my boss?"
Ma Fengzi would compromise, and with a little thought, it was easy to guess that Tian You had brought Da Gan out as a deterrent. Li Chonglou didn't believe these two didn't know about this!
As expected, as soon as he said this, the other man's expression changed, and he quickly stepped forward to restrain the man.
"Fang Si, don't mess around, or you'll ruin boss's business."
The violent man, also known as Fang Si, then glared fiercely. Under his companion's persuasion, he walked back to the other side.
So his name was Fang Si.
Li Chonglou's expression was unreadable, but he had already made a decision about this person in his heart.
His realm and strength, his violent temper, and most importantly, his hostility towards ordinary people – such a person would be a definite blight on society!
Although Li Chonglou didn't consider himself a saint, as a man with a family, he detested such people from the bottom of his heart. It was hard not to do something when he encountered them!
However, he would not act now, at least not until Du Tian's matter was resolved.
Seeing that the mad dog had finally quieted down, Li Chonglou's thoughts returned to the soul bottle.
"Old An, what did you mean just now? Besides soul fusion, is there any other way to eliminate and break the curse power?"
This was the first time Old An had brought up this topic, and Li Chonglou couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.
"There is, but I only know about it in the Lost Land. I just remembered. However, what I wanted to say was about that yellow flower you took earlier."
"Yellow flower?"
Li Chonglou was stunned for a moment, then remembered the yellow flower that Tian You had brought back a couple of days ago, which was reportedly guarded by Du Tian's men.
"Yes, I felt it was somewhat familiar at the time, but I couldn't recall it immediately. It was the killing intent emanating from that person just now that reminded me."
Li Chonglou's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked directly, "What do you mean?"
"If I'm not mistaken, someone might have used the flower's properties to transfer the killing intent within their body, thus achieving the effect of breaking the seal."
These words were like a bolt of lightning that exploded in Li Chonglou's heart.
Transferring killing intent to achieve the effect of breaking the seal, did this mean that the real key to the curse power lay in this killing intent?
As expected, Old An also clarified this point.
"For those afflicted by the curse power, the stronger their strength, the more they are affected. For those below the realm, they might not be affected at all. This is due to the killing intent."
Li Chonglou's eyes lit up. All along, his understanding of the curse power had been superficial and lacked any clues, which was why he had set it aside.
After all, with soul fusion, the impact was not significant, and his current strength was sufficient to handle all situations.
However, Old An's words were essentially pointing him in the right direction. As long as he studied the killing intent, he might be able to free himself from the soul in the soul bottle and regain his strength!
If he hadn't known about the Divine Messenger Organization before, Li Chonglou might not have been so excited. But after learning about them, the rumors of their sixth level alone made him feel immense pressure!
What Da Gan could mention was definitely not the peak strength of the Divine Messenger Organization, as no one would reveal their full capabilities upfront.
And his own peak strength was only at the seventh level. Under the influence of the curse power, he could only reach around the fifth or sixth level, which no longer gave him a sense of security!
Therefore, Old An's words felt like a timely delivery of charcoal in the snow to Li Chonglou.
However, Li Chonglou was also a little puzzled.
"Old An, why did you suddenly remember this?"
Old An understood Li Chonglou's meaning and sighed, saying, "We stayed there for hundreds of years. It's already remarkable that we haven't lost our minds. Many things will only come to mind when they are triggered by something related, or when I instinctively remember them."
"Otherwise, it's only when something related comes up that I'll remember."
Li Chonglou thought about it and realized it was true. To stay in one place for hundreds of years without being able to leave, logically one would think that they could recite their life backward in that time.
But in reality, if one doesn't want to go crazy, they can only choose not to think about anything and try to keep their minds from operating!
