Er Ha seemed to be having a good time. Looking at the group of maids, Bu Fang could not help but sigh. Then, he slowly walked out from behind them.

That startled the maids, and they all turned to look at him in horror. “Who are you?!” asked one of them. They were tasked to guard Er Ha, so when they saw Bu Fang, they raised their vigilance immediately. Although they were maids, they were guards in essence.

Er Ha’s voice came to an abrupt stop, and Bu Fang saw him then. He was tied to a bed, unable to move, and even his aura was sealed. Sensing the familiar aura, he suddenly became excited.

“Bu Fang young man? Is that you? I know it’s you because you have the smell of spicy strips! Don’t be shy. Come here and let me have a look at you!”

Er Ha kept yelling, causing the maids to raise their vigilance further. ‘Is this his accomplice?’ they thought. Suddenly, their pupils constricted because they felt a terrible force pressing on them like a great mountain, making it difficult to move. At the same time, an oppressive aura made their souls shiver.

“Who are you?!” bellowed one of the maids, who was a Demigod and also the leader of the others.

Tap, tap, tap.

A clear sound of footsteps rang out as a lean figure slowly emerged at the door, his hands clasped behind his back. The maids all turned their eyes and fixed on the figure. The Demigod maid’s pupils constricted, and she unleashed her divine sense, trying to break free of Bu Fang’s restriction.

“Don’t fight back,” Bu Fang said lightly. His divine sense moved slightly and poured forth like a spinning wheel that could crush everything.

With a rumble, the Demigod maid fell to the ground and could not even lift a finger. Bu Fang’s divine sense was far greater than that of a Demigod. The same thing happened to all the maids in the room. None of them could move.

Bu Fang walked over and came in front of the bed, looking indifferently at Er Ha, who was tied to the bed. With a thought, the invisible Divine flame emerged, and the ropes carved with runes immediately broke apart.

Er Ha hurriedly struggled free and sat up from the bed. He flexed his body, then looked seriously at Bu Fang and said, “You’ve come at the right time, Bu Fang young man! We’ve got to save Nethery!”

“Where is she?” Bu Fang narrowed his eyes.

No sooner had he said that than Er Ha bolted out of the room. Bu Fang followed. When he walked out of the room, his divine sense suddenly shook like a bell. A humming sound echoed out. The maids felt as if their heads were hit by a tremendous force, and they all passed out in an instant.

Er Ha walked through the mansion at a very fast speed. Moments later, he led Bu Fang to the front of a room. “This is it!” he said, pointing at the room. “This is where Nethery is being held!”

Bu Fang frowned. The room was only guarded by a Demigod, which proved to be easy to deal with. He walked over, knocked the guard unconscious like what he did when he saved Er Ha, then barged into the room.

However, there was no one inside the room. Er Ha’s face fell when he saw that. “Impossible… Nethery was here! I saw it with my own eyes!” He furrowed his brows. “Could it be that the people of the Mo Family had already taken her elsewhere?” he murmured.

It was very likely. Nethery was a Cursed Goddess, and she had a cursed body. Since the Mo Family wanted to deprive her of her curse power, they would naturally attach great importance to her. They must have taken her elsewhere.

“Let’s go to the banquet,” Bu Fang said indifferently.

Since Nethery was not here, then he could only find her at the banquet.

…

The banquet was located at the Mo Family’s guest house. This was where the family used to hold most of the banquets. Situated beside a man-made lake, the guest house was surrounded by excellent scenery.

The Mo Family’s residence occupied a vast land. After all, it was one of the three top aristocratic families in the Divine Dynasty’s capital. Its wealth and power were unimaginable by ordinary people.

Mo Hen, the second young master of the Mo Family, was not the heir, and his talent in cultivation was nowhere near as good. But as the one in charge of the family’s business empire, his status was about on the same level as the heir.

Recently, he was very excited because he had caught a Cursed Goddess. The power in a Cursed Goddess was very mysterious. Curse… was a strange power. Some said that the Law of Curse was a top Law, but others claimed that it could be considered as the supreme Law of the Universe.

As long as he stripped the curse power in that Cursed Goddess and merged it into his body, he would have a high chance to comprehend the Law of Curse. By that time, his status in the Mo Family would be loftier than the heir!

Therefore, Mo Hen held this banquet. He wanted to let the nobles in the capital know that he would soon become a noble existence whose status is beyond that of the Mo Family’s heir! Once this news spread, he would certainly become the next person in charge of the family!

Mo Hen was a very handsome man. With a wine glass in hand, he was drinking toasts with his guests. His social circle did not consist of heirs of the aristocratic families, but second-rank sons of those families.

Of course, he knew the princes as well. Although none of these princes was the crown prince, they were still quite powerful. After all, the power of the imperial family trumped that of everyone else. This time, he had invited the fifth prince.

The prince had taken a fancy of that girl, but Mo Hen did not mind. All he wanted was her power. How could he offend the fifth prince for a girl when there were so many beautiful girls out there? In his heart, however, he despised the lustful fifth prince.

Among all the princes of the imperial family, the fifth prince was the most ignorant and incompetent. His imperial siblings were all cultivating hard so that they could fight the crown prince, and he was the only one who indulged in women.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

A bell was rung at the top floor of the guest house. Mo Hen’s face grew serious. He went up to the top floor, stood there, and overlooked the rippling lake. He was a little excited, for what he had been looking forward to for a long time was finally beginning to happen.

Mo Hen’s talent in cultivation was just ordinary, but it was because of his business talent that he was able to have his current position in the family. However, this kind of business talent could not get him too far, and it could not further elevate his position.

Therefore, he planned to open a new path for himself. Over the years, while running the family business, he had been studying a method of transferring the power of those talented people into his body. After spending countless source stones and manpower, the research was finally completed.

His talent was about to be changed, and his position would certainly soar. He would soon become the most powerful man in the Mo Family!

Mo Hen’s eyes were full of excitement, while the guests around him all turned to look at the lake.

Suddenly, the man-made lake began to ripple. Then, with a rumble, it cracked from the middle as if someone had cut it with a knife. The water poured down like waterfalls from the opening, filling the air with a thunderous noise.

All the guests looked at the scene in horror. It was scary but beautiful at the same time.

Rumble!

A huge array emerged from under the lake. It was carved there at Mo Hen’s order when the lake was being made. He had found the array in an ancient book, which was a means stripped from a kind of savage monster and could be used to absorb other people’s power and talent.

Although the contents of the ancient book were mostly unreadable, the array was still very clear. No matter what, Mo Hen had to give it a try.

Very soon, the water in the lake began to spin, forming an array. The spectacular scene attracted the attention of countless people. All of a sudden, a cage slowly rose from the opening in the middle of the lake. Everyone paused and turned abruptly to look at it.

A girl wearing a black dress was locked up in the cage. Her hair was long, and her eyes looked cold, which made her look like a proud and indifferent fairy from beyond the skies. No one could find any flaw in her beautiful face.

The fifth prince was stunned as he watched. The wine glass in his hand slipped from his grip and fell to the floor, spilling all the wine inside. “Beautiful… She’s too beautiful!”

All the guests were amazed, too. They thought that few girls in the capital could compare with her beauty.

The cage was made of ancient dark iron, which was extremely tough. Although the beautiful girl’s aura was strong, she was only a Demigod, and the cage had sealed the power in her, turning her powerless like an ordinary girl.

Mo Hen bolted out of the guest house, rushed up to the top floor, grabbed the railing, and fixed his eyes on Nethery at the center of the lake. There was a ferocious and eager smile on his face!

Er Ha and Bu Fang stood on a small trail beside the lake, looking at Nethery trapped in the cage at the center of the lake. Their eyes were flickering. Suddenly, they heard a rumbling sound, and then their pupils constricted at the same time.

…

The array began to rotate. Mo Hen took a step forward and landed hard in front of the cage like a meteorite, causing the water to splash. He stared at Nethery as a cold smile brushed his lips.

“It has begun! Everything you own will be mine!” Mo Hen laughed excitedly.

As the array rotated, two beams of black light shot out of it. Nethery was immediately enveloped by the black energy. A tearing pain shot through her, and her face turned extremely pale in an instant.
