This was the Grand Bodhisattva’s treasure. He did not tell anyone about the secret, fearing that the many cooks would spoil the broth and they would break it.
Another thing was that after he possessed that key, he could control everything here, including… That Pool of Afterlife in the middle of the shrine.
In other words, Shelly’s earlier deduction was wrong. The others would be cleared out in three days, but not him. In that case, he did not have to be anxious.
He immediately acted and set up a spell formation. He then condensed all the new bone patterns in the formation, waiting for the people to enter it to accept them.
During the process, Dorothy and the Mystic Maiden of the Nine Heavens did not go over. They silently guarded at the side and occasionally looked at each other with a faint hostility in their eyes.
Among those many people inside, Cecilia had the worst bone patterns. So far, she only had the light-red ones and obtained few opportunities in the Underworld. When she saw that Luneth’s bone patterns had already turned dark gold and she could even enter the spell formation for absorption, she could only be envious.
“Bro…l”
She gracefully walked to Alex’s side as her voice was full of charm.
“Stop!”
Alex managed to stop her in time. His two wives were still there, and he could not stand a beauty throwing herself at him. So, he directly asked, “Miss Peach, I heard Luneth say that the Peach family deeply researched the methods of the Witch Sect. I wonder if you can dispel the Witch Curse?”
“The Witch Curse?” Cecilia was shocked. “Who is under the Witch Curse?”
Xerxes raised his hand. “Myself and a few friends.”
Cecilia asked, “Which type of Witch Curse?”
Xerxes shockingly asked, “Is the Witch Curse divided into several types?”
Cecilia shook her head. “Not just several types, but a few hundred. There are too many variants of the Witch Curse.”
Cecilia seemed to have seen through their dilemma, so she said, “Where are you guys from?”
Alex was slightly reluctant to say.
However, Mandy couldn’t understand the meaning within it. Seeing that Alex and Xerxes did not open their mouths, she directly replied, “We’re earthlings.”
“Earth? Which planet is that?”
“It is… Planet Earth, among the nine planets in the solar system. We are Americans, from the West.”
“America? You guys are from the great world of America?”
It was Cecilia’s turn to be shocked this time. She wanted to say something but quickly hesitated. Eventually, she said, “Soon, my grandma may head to your great world of America. I will go as well. When the time comes, I will find a chance and get her to dispel the curse for you.”
