Chapter 425 - 9.44 Second Blue Star - (Past) Soul Curse
In his own manor, Ye Mo just received some words from his spies from the main mansion. According to the spy, his father and the elders were planning to eliminate their creator to free themselves from the control of the God of Void.
The spy said, "Master, the voting resulted with 6 against 1 who agreed to eliminate the Creator. Only one elder didn't accept the plan and left as soon as the voting was finalized."
"Who was that elder who had gone against the vote?" asked Ye Mo.
"It is the Grand Elder Ye. He had the most admiration towards the creator and he is not willing to agree to that plan at all. He was locked up in the Clan's dungeon until the plan was completed."
"Grand Elder Ye had been so fearful of karma and things like that. We are Gods. Are those things even useful to us?" said Ye Mo. Then he remembered how much the Grand elder cares for the creator and ordered, "Keep an eye on the Grand Elder at the Dungeon. Report right away if he did something unexpected."
"Yes, Master." said the spy who once again disappeared to resume his task.
Ye Mo looks out of his room's window and enjoys his tea.
"Things are getting so interesting lately. I wonder how the results would end with my father and elders foolishly attempting to kill the creator. Once those who need to die all die, the seat as the leader of this race should fall on me as the rightful heir~ haha~" said Ye Mo.

In the South.
The territory of the God of Void.
Xia Jieye had just finished his call with Shen Siwang. System Yue had floated away after the connection was cut off from their side.
[Master, why didn't you tell Lord Shen about his wife's arrival?]
Xia Jieye answered, "No need to mention it. His guard has been the lowest around that person. It is normal he wouldn't notice him approaching like that. Maybe because he trusted him with his life that he could do such a thing. Moreover, it is still better if someone from the Mo Clan knew that the Book of Life and Death was stolen.
Though I've removed the death sentence effect on Jing'er, other sentences would still take effect thankfully Zhi Yang was there to help Jing'er block any effects from that artifact of mine."
[Master, Yue had to keep an eye on the Ye Gui Race in Inferno. The current leader and the elders had decided to eliminate you for their freedom. Among them only the Grand Elder had declined and was imprisoned in the hidden dungeon of the Ye Territory.]
Xia Jieye said, "Grand elder? What is his name?"
[Wuye... He is Ye Wuye.]
"I see. Yue, send a message to Siwang. Tell him in the records of all beings. Rename Ye Wuye to Lou Wuye. Afterward, you will sneak into the Ye Gui's territory and bring away the Grand Elder. Leave a living clone of him in the dungeon and name it Ye Wuye. With how cruel that Ye Mo is. He would definitely try to use the Book of life and death to kill him as he was blocking the way of his plans. This kid had taken in too much of my ruthlessness and cruelty. His resentment qi is the strongest among his clan." said Xia Jieye.
[Understood, Master.]
"Do not call me master. Lord would do," said Xia Jieye.
[As you wish my lord!]

In the past few days, the Ye Guis tries multiple times to either Assassinate or directly kill the God of Void but instead, they are all killed on the spot. After gathering all proof of their attempts to kill the God of Darkness, the Ye Gui Race was kicked out of Vearth and was considered an exiled race. They were treated as criminals and were forbidden to enter Vearth.
But there are lots of ways of sneaking inside Vearth, they only need to create a fake identity and mask their qi. This is what Ye Mo and his people did as they visited Vearth under the orders of his father. Hr only agreed to this task after learning from one of his spies that Ye Wuye, the Grand elder of their race had died.
In reality, he had used the book of life and death on him. His death was made as if he was killed with natural death. Only he knew that the death of the Grand Elder was him cleaning up the race. As the future leader of the Ye Gui, he doesn't want anyone who revered someone else instead of him.
Since the Grand Elder had admired the God of Void, his creator very much, he also naturally didn't wholeheartedly accept his father as his leader. He only accepted him because he was the person the God of Void had appointed.
Since this person would obviously not agree that he becomes the next leader it is better to send him ahead of time.
Ye Mo was having a coffee in some cafe within the city when a spy came over and reported about the next plans of his father and elders.
"Master, the current leader, and some elders had personally sneaked inside Vearth. They plan to assassinate the creator with their own hands." said the Spy.
Ye Mo didn't even look at him as he enjoys his office. "Hm~ I see. You can go ahead and begin the preparation to take over the clan. I will make sure they won't be able to come back home."
"As you wish, My lord. Let this servant congratulate the lord in advance for being the new leader of the race."
"Hahaha~ that will be soon. Make sure to make my enthronement ceremony livelier."
"The Lord can leave it to this servant."
"Go ahead and leave."
Only once his servant left did he take out the Book of Life and Death from his qiankun pouch. He flips the white pages and looks for Hei Anjing's name. With how he thinks the book is, it took a while for him to find it. Once he saw it he noticed that the white page was turning a bit goldish, almost becoming gold.
Ye Mo panicked for a moment, despite the page-turning golden it would still take a long time to turn it to complete. Though he didn't know what was happening, the white page suddenly turning gold meant that the little brat was gaining merits. Once it turned completely gold Hei Anjing would be an untouchable being to Ye Mo even if he had this artifact.
He who hated the Mo Clan to the core would never allow such a thing. Though he didn't know that his source of hatred from the Mo, which is the God of Void, had long started to accept the Mo Clan thanks to Baby Hei Anjing. It is an outcome that even the person itself would have expected.
Ye Mo tried to give Hei Anjing a death sentence but the book isn't accepting such orders. For those who had gained merit even a tiny bit especially for a unique existence like Hei Anjing this kind of command would be withdrawn. He couldn't help but curse after learning that.
"If I knew someone would help that brat gain merits I would have killed him as soon as possible! Damn," murmured Ye Mo. He even ignored the unfriendly states of the other customers on him. "Since I couldn't cause your death, eternal suffering should suffice~"
He started writing sentences on the light golden page commanding the artifact to bring misfortune to the toddler named Hei Anjing. He would suffer heartbroken for a few hundreds of years, yearning endlessly at something he could never have. Accidentally kills the one he loves the most and gets killed in the end. He worlds passages of actions that can be said to be the life history of Hei Anjing. After writing the words of Hei Anjing dying he had used up his qi and could no longer continue writing for today. Closing the Book of Life and Death, he took a deep breath as if trying to calm his trembling hands.
The words Ye Mo had written might be useless to the other cultivators but it is already well-known what kind of weakness the Mo Clan has. Their weakness is their other half which involves their life, love, and all their emotions as one. One this existence is able to harm a Mo. The other half of a Mo is the person a Mo Descendant loves the most. This is the most painful thing that can hurt a Mo. Though Hei Anjing's Mo bloodline is only half, this is still his weakness.
"I should be able to continue writing the rest tomorrow. For now, let's focus on the real prey. Unfortunately, as the rightful owner of this Artifact, I cannot even use it against him. But this is indeed a pretty useful toy to play with," said Ye Mo while holding the Book of life and death

The same day, evening.
The mansion of Mo Clan had fallen into chaos. Mo Yue had run out of Baby's room carrying little Jing'er who was suffering from high fever. Hei Sian is following after his wife who was panicking. Mo Yue is after all a divine doctor. There is almost nothing he couldn't cure but the current state of his son left him bewildered. No healing element or herbs were useful to save his son. He could only use his ice element to cool him down little by little.
Baby Hei Anjing is still a baby, even though he possesses the blessing of ice elements at such a young age where he couldn't even control his own temperature is deadly for him.
Mo Yue said to his husband, "Dear, call Baobei and Brother Wang back home. Tell them something happened to Jing'er!"
"On it. Honey, calm down and ask Mother-in-law to help you take care of Jing'er. I will be back soon." said Hei Sian who disappeared from the house after making a crack in the space. The Hei Clan's special element is space. They are able to transfer to one point and another using the Space Portal.
Mrs. Mo is helping her son to check on her little grandson. She looks so worried as Baby Jing isn't even crying even when suffering from such sickness.
Mo Yue with tears in his eyes asked, "M-Mom, what happened to Jing'er? He suddenly felt so hot that I almost couldn't carry him in my hands."
"Shss~ don't shout. The baby would suffer more... Let me check on him first," said Mrs. Mo.
Suddenly Mr. Mo, who was standing behind his wife, disappears and no one knows where he had gone. Before he disappeared in thin air he glanced at the window and his phoenix-shaped eyes suddenly narrowed as if seeing something from the distance.
On the other hand, Mrs. Mo is checking on her grandson. Though medicine isn't her forte after spending a long time in this world, she would be able to pick up a skill or two. Medicine is a hobby she got from staying with her husband who is an unparalleled doctor.
Mrs. Mo frowned for a moment. Like her son, she couldn't pinpoint what was wrong with her grandson.
"This is weird, his body is completely okay. There are no injuries, sickness, or poison. Darling, can you check on our grandson? I really cannot see anything wrong?" said Mrs. Mo as she turned around to look for her husband. As if it's a coincidence, once Mrs. Mo looked behind her, Mr. Mo had reappeared carrying two men in his hands. He threw them in some corner after freezing their limbs except their heads.
Mr. Mo said, "It's a curse for the soul. It is a forbidden technique that needs a sacrifice."
"Soul Curse?! Dad, how to remove it?" asked Mo Yue.
Mr. Mo pointed at the two whom he captured peeking at their house from thousands of miles away.
"It cannot be removed. You must force the caster to take it back. But making them take it back means they will suffer instead. These two are the casters. They might be from that Ye Gui Race you guys always talk about." he said.
The two capture men sneered at them. Even though they were hauled here like chickens by Mr. Mo whose cultivation they can not see through, just thinking that the curse cannot be removed unless they choose, the curse will remain even after their death.. Seeing their arrogant expressions, Mo Yue and the rest knew that these two men were thinking of taking advantage of them as they thought they would never be forced to take back the curse.
