Chapter 132: Xia Youjie Appears—Best Friend Instantly Draws His Blade!

Although Special-Rank Curses are not as rare or powerful as Special-Rank Sorcerers, they are still the pinnacle among curses—and yet Shengzai is now complaining that only one Special-Rank Curse showed up...

To be fair, most students from both schools are currently at the level of Provisional Grade-One or Grade-Two Sorcerers, especially Dongtang Kui and Shengzai, both of whom possess the strength to eradicate Special-Rank Curses.

If the intruders truly intended to eliminate all students from both schools, one Special-Rank Curse alone would be insufficient.

Is the enemy lacking in combat power? Wuyue Wu refused to believe it—he knew the enemy had already breached the school’s barrier and even set up a curtain specifically designed to trap him.

This clearly indicates that the curses or cursed practitioners behind this invasion are not acting alone—they are a coordinated team with strategy.

The enemy went to great lengths to keep Wuyue Wu locked outside the barrier, seemingly aiming to wipe out every student at the academy—yet they sent only a single Special-Rank Curse to attack Shengzai and his group. That makes no sense.

On the other end of the phone, Shengzai, seeing Wuyue Wu fall silent after hearing his words, realized that Wuyue Wu had also sensed something was wrong.

“I believe the Special-Rank Curse invading the academy is attacking us merely to create confusion—its true target may not be us at all.”

Now that everyone has learned a Special-Rank Curse has invaded and attacked students—including you, Teacher Wuyue—their attention is all focused here.”

“And if this Special-Rank Curse has accomplices, wouldn’t the now-undefended academy be as easy to enter as their own backyard?”

Shengzai’s next words, transmitted through the speaker, left An Geji and Leyanxi both stunned—despite having heard nothing until now.

Thanks to Shengzai’s reminder, Wuyue Wu and the others suddenly realized: if the invading Special-Rank Curse had another target, it could only be the academy’s warehouse storing Special-Rank cursed objects!

Inside the academy’s cursed object storage, besides the fingers of Rimen Sueno, there are other Special-Rank cursed objects, such as the Nine-Phase Embryo Scroll.

After encountering the Special-Rank Curses Louhu and Man, Wuyue Wu knew the enemy had also set their sights on Huzhang , the vessel of Rimen Sueno.

Though Wuyue Wu didn’t know their exact intentions toward Tiger Stick, whenever Rimen Sueno was involved, he immediately connected the dots to their true goal.

“Danger! Their real target may be the other fingers of Rimen Sueno stored in the academy’s warehouse!”

As soon as he grasped the gravity of the situation, Wuyue Wu turned on his heel and prepared to rush to the cursed object warehouse.

Just as he moved, a young man with a front ponytail and an air of manic madness, alongside a bald man wielding a hammer, suddenly blocked his path.

“What a nuisance—who’s this brat meddling in affairs that don’t concern him, forcing us to do extra work?”

Neither the ponytail man nor the bald man emitted any cursed energy—they were cursed practitioners.

From their fragmented words, it was clear: Shengzai and Wuyue Wu’s deduction was correct—the enemy’s goal was not the students, but Rimen Sueno’s fingers stored in the academy!

“Wuyue Wu, we’ll handle these two—you hurry to the cursed object warehouse.”

Seeing Chongmian Chuntai wielding a cursed artifact longsword and Zuwu Rouzao wielding a massive hammer, An Geji and Leyanxi stepped forward to intercept them.

There was no time now for personal grudges—if Rimen Sueno’s fingers fell into the hands of those Special-Rank Curses, the consequences would be unimaginable!

But just as Wuyue Wu prepared to move, two more figures suddenly appeared, blocking his path.

One was Louhu, the Special-Rank Curse Wuyue Wu had nearly killed just recently, reduced to nothing but a head; the other was a black-haired man dressed in monk’s robes.

Louhu was expected—but when Wuyue Wu saw the black-haired man in monk’s robes, his face twisted with unmistakable emotion.

There was no other reason: the man standing beside the Special-Rank Curse, blocking his way, was his former best friend—and his and Jia Ru Xuzi’s former classmate—Xia Youjie!

“Wu, it’s been a long time, hasn’t it? You haven’t changed a bit.”

Looking at Xia Youjie before him, Wuyue Wu’s expression grew grim. Despite the man’s tone, aura, and every other detail matching the Xia Youjie he once knew—

Wuyue Wu knew with absolute certainty: this was not his former best friend.

Because Xia Youjie was dead—killed by his own hands and those of Yigu Youtai.

Once, Xia Youjie had been his closest friend, driven by a desire to erase curses from the world—but he took a twisted path, ultimately killing 112 ordinary people, betraying the academy, and seizing control of the cursed organization Panxing Sect.

Curses are born from human negativity. To eradicate them completely, only two methods exist.

One: make everyone a sorcerer, since sorcerers can convert their emotions into cursed energy—but this is impossible, as those born with sorcerer potential are one in ten thousand.

The other method: eliminate all ordinary humans, leaving only sorcerers in the world.

Having witnessed the ugliness of humanity, Xia Youjie ultimately chose the second path to eradicate curses.

When Xia Youjie first betrayed the academy, he had once been defeated by Wuyue Wu—but Wuyue Wu, bound by their friendship, could never bring himself to kill him.

Years later, Xia Youjie fully seized control of Panxing Sect and launched the “Hundred Ghosts Night Parade” last year—only to be executed by Wuyue Wu and Yigu Youtai.

Since he had delivered the killing blow himself, Wuyue Wu was certain: his best friend was truly dead.

Yet here stood Xia Youjie again—there was only one possibility: someone had desecrated his best friend’s corpse.

The thought of his friend’s body being used enraged Wuyue Wu. Without hesitation, he tore off the black cloth covering his eyes, revealing his pupils—clear as blue crystal.

Seeing this, Louhu—who had been nearly killed by Wuyue Wu before—showed clear unease, glancing at Xia Youjie. “I’ve seen his domain. It’s nearly invincible. Are you really sure you can beat him?”

Xia Youjie shook his head. “Unless Rimen Sueno is fully revived, no one in today’s sorcerer world can defeat him.”

“But even if I can’t win, I’m one of the few who truly understands him.”
