Chapter 982: Chapter 596: Constitution
“You… what do you want to do?” At this moment, Xue Lan’s second uncle looked at Liu Hun walking towards him step by step, and at this moment, he finally felt fear.
If everything Liu Hun said were true, then once he became Liu Hun’s experiment, it meant he would forever become a puppet without thoughts.
Such a result was naturally not what he wanted to see, but at this moment, he was already seriously injured, and even his elder brother wouldn’t let him leave just like this.
“What I want is very simple. Once your memory is permanently erased, but before that, I’m curious why you poisoned your niece.” Liu Hun squatted down in front of the second uncle, asking with a puzzled look.
After speaking, Liu Hun didn’t give the second uncle much chance, grabbing his shoulder with one hand and gently patting it; within moments, the second uncle’s eyes began to get dazed.
“Speak, tell me everything that happened before.” Liu Hun squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the second uncle in front of him, with not much confidence in his heart.
The horror of the Golden Gu lies in the strength of the host. Although Liu Hun’s cultivation has not increased, the power within his body has mutated, and the Golden Gu, living by long-term devouring Liu Hun’s essence blood and strength, has truly grown formidable, a fact Liu Hun himself is unaware of.
“I wanted to seize the position of the Xue Family Head, but Xiao Ju has an icy physique, the only variable that can break the bloodline curse. Last year, that mysterious figure appeared, telling me he could help me and the whole family lift this bloodline curse, but the price was that Xiao Ju’s corpse must be given to him. Only then, he would help lift my bloodline curse, and also help me seize the Family Head position…” The second uncle said, with a hint of struggle flashing in his eyes.
A moment later, the second uncle’s consciousness returned. While he hadn’t revealed everything, what he had said was enough for Liu Hun.
Although he was curious about who that mysterious figure was, the person who should ponder on this now is the Xue Family Head, not him.
“What… what exactly did you do to me just now?” Although his mind had been controlled by Liu Hun just now, he could still perceive what was happening outside.
Upon realizing he had revealed everything just now, the second uncle’s face turned pale.
“Who exactly is that mysterious figure?” At this moment, although the Xue Family Head was a bit shocked by Liu Hun’s methods, he was filled with endless anger.
They were blood brothers, yet he didn’t expect his brother had always been plotting for the Family Head’s position, and for the bloodline curse, he didn’t even hesitate to poison his own niece.
“Liu Hun, this time I’ve fallen into your hands, but that mysterious figure won’t let you off. His methods are beyond your imagination!” The second uncle’s face was ashen, but his eyes still carried a few shades of hatred as he stared at Liu Hun.
After a long while, the second uncle took a deep breath and then looked at the Xue Family Head, saying: “As for who that mysterious figure is, I’m not sure either, but I have witnessed his extraordinary means, which is why I accepted his proposal.”
“Even if it’s for the family’s bloodline curse, can you really bear to sacrifice Xiao Ju’s life?” The Xue Family Head asked angrily, faced with his brother’s admission.
“It’s just the life of a junior. Compared to the curse of the entire Xue Family, what is it worth? The Xue Family was once so powerful, but because of this bloodline curse, we’ve fallen to this state. Can you really bear to let the Xue Family remain in such a realm forever?” The second uncle asked the Xue Family Head with a tone of resentment.
These words left the Xue Family Head speechless; regardless, his brother always considered the Xue Family; it’s just that his methods were somewhat chilling.
“The fate of the Xue Family is not for you to decide alone. Even with the bloodline curse, I will never permit sacrificing family members’ lives to lift it!” The Xue Family Head suddenly spoke with a chilly expression, looking at his brother coldly.
“That’s your way of thinking, which doesn’t represent everyone’s views. If this matter were revealed to all the family members, how do you think they would choose?” The second uncle retorted disdainfully.
“Uncle, there’s no need to be angry about this matter. As for the Xue Family’s bloodline curse, just give me some time, and I believe I can help lift it.” Liu Hun, seeing the two brothers turn against each other, couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
Sometimes, for personal gains, some people tend to commit heartless deeds.
“Second brother, if you have no defense for your actions, I can send you on your way now.” The Xue Family Head took a deep breath, slowly walking to Xue Lan’s second uncle.
Seeing this, Xue Lan’s second uncle lightly closed his eyes, without the slightest hesitation.
“Uncle, I don’t think killing him is a good choice. We still don’t know who the mysterious figure is. If he learns of his death, I worry for the Xue Family…” Liu Hun, seeing the Xue Family Head’s raging demeanor, quickly intervened to stop him.
What a joke, although Xue Lan’s second uncle is somewhat detestable and hateful, even deserving death, if he were killed, he or rather the Xue Family would lose a helper. Such a thing Liu Hun doesn’t want to see.
“Leave it to me, I will definitely satisfy Uncle!” Liu Hun noticed the Family Head of the Xue Family stopping his actions, smiled slightly, nodded, and then approached the second uncle.
“Liu Hun, if you have the guts, just kill me!” The second uncle couldn’t help but shout in a low voice as he saw Liu Hun approaching him again.
“Don’t worry, killing you wouldn’t benefit us at all. Instead, it’s better to turn you into a puppet; at least you could still be used as cannon fodder later.” Liu Hun smiled, and then his expression became somewhat serious. He directly grabbed the second uncle’s head with his hands.
As Liu Hun’s power penetrated the second uncle’s head, transforming into small blades cutting off his brainstem, the second uncle couldn’t help but let out an inhuman scream.
Even the Family Head of the Xue Family, witnessing this scene, felt a bit terrified.
He hadn’t expected that turning someone into a puppet would be such a painful process and that this method would be so horrifying.
After almost a quarter of an hour, Liu Hun, with a pale complexion, withdrew his hands, gently wiped his forehead, and stood up.
“Uncle, no matter what orders you give him in the future, he will comply without outsiders detecting anything, except maybe by those with a discerning eye.” Liu Hun reminded the Family Head of the Xue Family.
Following Liu Hun’s words, the Family Head of the Xue Family looked at his brother in front of him, whose eyes were initially vacant but quickly regained their previous luster, only to stand respectfully in front of the two.
“Slap yourself…” the Xue Family Head instructed his brother, somewhat skeptical.
“Pa!” As soon as he finished speaking, the second uncle immediately raised his hand and slapped himself without a moment of hesitation.
At this moment, he fully believed that such a terrifying existence indeed lived in this world.
The thought of Liu Hun’s earlier words, if that mysterious force truly controls all cultivators, the consequences would be terrifying, and he believed that ultimately, they too would not escape such a fate.
“Liu… Liu Hun, how… how is this even possible?” The Xue Family Head, pale-faced, asked Liu Hun.
“This matter, when explained, is quite simple; without special techniques, it’s impossible to achieve. Although I can do it, I, Liu Hun, would never use such an evil method to control others, nor would I allow them to continue in this manner!” Liu Hun said, his eyes filled with icy killing intent and hatred.
Observing Liu Hun’s expression, the Xue Family Head knew that these words came from the heart. Otherwise, if nothing had happened, no matter how good one’s acting skills are, such sincerity could not be achieved.
“What should we do next?” For the first time hearing such shocking things, even as the Family Head of the Xue Family, he was at a loss.
“Uncle, it’s true that XiaoJu’s body has a cold physique; I believe you knew this long ago, so I won’t elaborate. However, in this world, if a cold physique’s body were needed, it could only be for one purpose, to turn her body into an Ice-man, with cultivation eternally advancing. Although I’m unsure if that mysterious person intends to do this, my personal advice is to send XiaoJu somewhere unknown and let her focus on her cultivation; only thus can she be temporarily safe.” Seeing the Family Head asking about this matter, Liu Hun’s face also revealed a solemn expression.
This matter could be of great significance. If XiaoJu were to be taken, the consequences would be unimaginable, a result Liu Hun would not want to see.
From the moment XiaoJu woke, Liu Hun liked this little girl from the bottom of his heart and didn’t want her to be hurt.
However, with XiaoJu’s physical attributes, Liu Hun was powerless. After all, such a cold physique is rare, appearing in one out of millions, and even if one appeared, they wouldn’t live past ten. The reason XiaoJu survived was purely due to their Xue Family’s bloodline curse.
Regarding these matters, Liu Hun hadn’t planned on telling the Xue Family Head, fearing that too much information at once might be overwhelming.
“I really didn’t expect that what started as XiaoJu just being sick would lead to so much trouble.” The Xue Family Head whispered bitterly to Liu Hun.
“This world is gradually changing. Someone once taught me that in life, some things can be done, and some cannot. But if you live a life of mediocrity, what’s the point? In the end, we’re just dust. Why worry so much?” Liu Hun said with a slight smile, looking at the Xue Family Head.
