âLena, has your curse really been cured?â
âLet me see, let me touch it⦠Ah, thereâs really a warmth. Thatâs great! Lord Saint has really appeared.
Our Naga tribe is saved!â
âChief, weâd like to meet Lord Saint. Can we?â
More and more people had begun gathering outside the stilted building. Even those who had greeted
Shado in the river earlier came over. Chelly, who had detested the human Alex at first, was asking
Shado all sorts of questions. As everyone looked at the building, their eyes became passionate,
reverent, plus something else.
It seemed that in those eyes was a blazing hope, a shining beacon in the dark of night.
The high priestess said, âLord Saint has arrived. The prophecy from three thousand years ago has
become true. It appears the day we leave the pure land and return to our homeland is not far.
Dorothea, youâre the only astrologist in our village. Can you tell us a fortune? Is this the turning point for
our entire Naga tribe? Should I inform all the pure landâs leaders to come and meet Lord Saint?â
The astrologist named Dorothea nodded lightly. Soon, Dorothea yelled and spat a mouthful of blood.
Her face turning ghastly, she said, âIâm so sorry! My abilities are really limited. I canât tell Lord Saintâs
fortune at all. Lord Saintâs fate is not something I can pry on. â
Then, someone wanted to go in and meet Alex. However, Shadoâs grandmother, Lena Rivers, stopped
him.
âShh, everyone, be quiet!â
âNow, Lord Saint is refining the source of the curse extracted from my body, and it may require some
time. Lord Saint asked me to guard the entrance out here. We mustnât disturb him. Thatâll bring danger
to Lord Saint. Everything he does is for the sake of our Naga tribe!â
The group of people instantly quieted down. Even the sounds of breathing were gone. Everyone looked
at the building with a softer, gentler, and more reverent gaze.
âLord Saint is really great! How can one not love such a great person?â they all thought.
Just then, Alexâs voice came from the inside of the building. âDoes anyone still need to dispel their
curses? Come in one by one!â
The crowd was stunned for a moment.
Lord Saintâs refinement was successful!
Then, he wanted to help them to dispel their curses non-stop.
How great! How touching!
âDo you need a little rest, Lord Saint?â asked Lena.
Alex was currently at a critical point. The cursed rune acquired from Lenaâs body had increased his
divine power by a total of ten million points after refinement and absorption. Furthermore, the eighth
golden core had successfully developed. He was now breaking through the ninth acupoint, almost
enough to develop the ninth acupoint.
âNo need. Come in right now. Hurry up!â
âFind an older person, preferably someone whose curse is about to manifest!â Alexâs voice could be
heard saying from the building.
The evil Chi was dense in an old personâs body. As for people with curse manifestation, the cursed
rune in the heart area had been activated. As long as he plucked it out, he would be able to draw out all
the evil Chi in the Naga tribeâs bodies, then refine it.
This would be the most efficient method.
âIt seems that thereâs someone with curse manifestation in the adjacent Nine Dragons Village today,â
the high priestess said.
âIâll use the Aqua Mail and ask them to rush over here. They should be able to get here within a day.â
To his surprise, it apparently took an entire day to rush over from the adjacent village.
How large was this village anyway?
Alex could no longer wait, so he immediately said, âItâs fine if itâs someone without manifestation. High
priestess, you then. Come in. Iâll help you dispel the curse now.â
âLord Saint⦠Let us give this chance to the younger onesâ¦â
âCut the crap! Come in, hurry up!â
âYes, Lord Saint.â
The high priestess dared not speak again for fear of angering Alex. So, she immediately walked in and
shut the door. She discovered Alex sitting cross-legged on the ground with a strange energy fluctuation
on his body.
