Chapter 475: Death Curse
A Healer with the cultivation of a Supreme Master was willing to visit her mother to treat her. Her mother would definitely be able to recover this time!
At the thought of this, Vivian’s father immediately said to his wife, “Quick, prepare hot tea. Welcome the Supreme Master!”
Vivian’s mother hurriedly turned around and went downstairs. She called the butler and nanny to get ready quickly. She had to be hospital to the n.o.ble Supreme Master, lest she left a bad impression on him.
Vivian’s father even personally called the security booth to inform them that a n.o.ble Supreme Master would be arriving at the estate later and told them not to neglect him.
After hanging up, the guard on duty turned to his colleague and said, “Oh my G.o.d, Mr. West just called to inform me that a Supreme Master from the Healing Inst.i.tute is going to their house to treat the old lady later.”
Vivian’s full name was Vivian West. The Mr. West the guard mentioned was her father.
“Is that so?” His colleague expressed his doubts. He said, “The West family has never produced a Beast Tamer, and they don’t have any Beast Tamer relatives. How could they invite a Supreme Master to treat the Old Madam? Could it be a bluff?”
“Who knows? Let’s just do our job. Stand guard properly and don’t slack off.”
“Yes.”
After knowing that a Supreme Master was about to come to their neighborhood, the security team didn’t dare to slack off and hurriedly prepared to greet him in their best state.

In less than half an hour, a black car slowly drove into the villa.
The guard saw that the car’s license plate didn’t have the usual blue and white words, but a black and white plate with the number “S1002”. Seeing this, the guard was instantly filled with respect.
“It’s really the Healing Inst.i.tute’s car! And it’s even the deputy director’s car!”
The license plate number of the Prosperous Capital Healing Center was S for short. The director’s license plate number was S1001, and the deputy director’s license plate was S1002.
Seeing that the deputy director of the Healing Inst.i.tute had really come to treat the old lady of the West family, the guards immediately stood up straight and bowed to the black car.
The driver rolled down the window and tilted his head to ask the guard, “h.e.l.lo, may I know which building the West family lives in?”
The guard was extremely excited to be able to talk to the Supreme Master’s driver.
The security guard pretended to be calm and replied, “The West family lives in Building 8. I can lead the way for the Supreme Master.”
The driver waved his hand and said, “No need.”
The window rose again under the guard’s regretful gaze. The driver stepped on the accelerator and slowly drove towards Building 8.
Soon, other residents noticed this scene.
“The vice director of the Healing Inst.i.tute went to the West family’s house!”
This news quickly spread to every neighbor’s ears. When some of the big bosses who worked in the company received this news, they rushed back from their homes without stopping. They wanted to visit the West family’s house. It would be best if they could talk to that n.o.ble Supreme Master. Then, they would have no regrets in their lives.
In the eyes of the commoners, Beast Tamers were unattainable existences. They might be able to meet a few weak Scholars or honorable Masters in their lives, but many people would never see a Beast Tamer at the level of a Supreme Master in their lives.

Jiang Shangfeng and Vivian were already standing at the door to welcome the deputy director.
The deputy director’s surname was Sun. He wasn’t tall, and he was wearing a light blue robe specially made for healing. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed gla.s.ses and looked to be in his early forties, but it was impossible to tell how old he was. Deputy Director Sun didn’t look like a n.o.ble Beast Tamer, but more like a professor in a university.
Upon seeing Jiang Shangfeng, Deputy Director Sun nodded at him. “h.e.l.lo, are you Mr. Jiang?”
Jiang Shangfeng and Vivian hurriedly went forward. Jiang Shangfeng held Deputy Director Sun’s right hand with both hands and said humbly, “h.e.l.lo, Director Sun. I’m Jiang Shangfeng. This is my wife, Vivian.”
When he heard this, Deputy Director Sun’s eyes lit up.
No deputy director liked to be called a deputy director. They would rather be called a director.
Jiang Shangfeng’s words flattered Deputy Director Sun.
Jiang Shangfeng and Vivian were Young Master Sheng’s friends, so Deputy Director Sun wasn’t stupid enough to put on airs in front of them. Deputy Director Sun went straight to the point. “Young Master Sheng has a request, so I naturally have to fulfill it. Mr. Jiang, Mrs. Vivian, it’s more important to treat the patient. Let’s skip the formalities. Let’s go see the old woman directly.”
Jiang Shangfeng hurriedly said, “Please come in.”
Accompanied by Vivian and her parents, Deputy Director Sun arrived at the old woman’s bedroom on the second floor. As soon as he approached the bedroom, Deputy Director Sun smelled rotten flesh. His expression changed slightly, but he said calmly, “Young Master Sheng told me that the old woman fell ill suddenly, right?”
Mr. West nodded quickly and said nervously, “Yes! Before she went to bed last night, my mother started vomiting without warning. She vomited for the entire night and didn’t sleep.”
Deputy Director Sun remained silent.
When they arrived at the bedroom door, Deputy Director Sun suddenly said to Vivian, “Ms. Vivian is pregnant. You should go back to your room and rest.”
Vivian and Jiang Shangfeng looked at each other before returning to their rooms.
After Vivian left, Deputy Director Sun pushed open the ward door.
As soon as the door of the ward opened, a rotten stench immediately came out of the room. As soon as he smelled it, Deputy Director Sun sensed that this smell contained a thick poisonous gas.
Deputy Director Sun’s expression changed. “Oh no! Everyone, put on your gas masks!”
A gas mask?
Without another word, Jiang Shangfeng ran downstairs and found a few gas masks.
Everyone put on their fog masks and walked into the bedroom under Deputy Director Sun’s lead.
In the room, only Vivian’s eldest aunt and youngest aunt were taking care of the old woman. The two of them were also wearing masks to resist the nauseating stench. The usually elegant and calm old woman was now lying on the bed with a sickly look.
There was a basin beside her bed, and she had yet to pour the vomit in it.
When Vivian’s aunt saw that the Beast Tamer had arrived, tears welled up in her eyes.
“Supreme Master!” Vivian’s aunt was called Annabella. She knelt in front of Deputy Director Sun and begged him while crying, “Supreme Master, please save my mother. She’s in too much pain!”
As Annabelle watched her mother vomit for the entire night, her heart ached. Just as a mother couldn’t bear to see her child suffer, a child couldn’t bear to see her mother tortured by illness.
Deputy Director Sun glanced at Annabella and said coldly, “Be quiet.”
Annabella immediately shut her mouth and didn’t dare to make any more noise. She was afraid that if she angered Deputy Director Sun, he would turn around and leave.
Deputy Director Sun strode to the bed. He didn’t look at the old woman, but stared at the disgusting pile of vomit in the basin.
Seeing the contents, Deputy Director Sun turned to ask Mr. West again, “Mr. West, are you sure that the old lady has always been healthy and only suddenly became ill last night?”
Mr. West nodded vigorously. “Of course. My mother has a full body checkup every year. She had a hysterectomy six years ago. She isn’t unhealthy in any other way.”
Deputy Director Sun’s expression instantly became serious.
“This is a condition I’ve never seen before.” Deputy Director Sun reached out and summoned his beast form in front of Jiang Shangfeng and the others.
Deputy Director Sun’s beast form was a rose gra.s.s. He was considered a very talented Healer. He was only 80 years old, but he was already a Supreme Master. The rose gra.s.s floated above the old lady’s head, and faint green spiritual energy was released from the rose gra.s.s. It entered the old lady’s body and slowly spread out while searching carefully.
As soon as it entered the old lady’s head, a black aura drove the green spiritual energy out.
Left with no choice, those spiritual energy could only move down. When they arrived at the old woman’s abdomen, the black energy was even stronger. They actually directly ejected Deputy Director Sun’s energy.
“Hmph!”
Deputy Director Sun grunted and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Deputy Director Sun’s gaze flickered slightly. He stared at the old woman’s dim skin, the dirty thing in the basin, and the black poisonous gas in the old lady’s body. His lips trembled for a moment before he said in a low voice, “The old lady isn’t sick, but…” His pupils constricted as he said in a low voice—
“Death Curse.”
The Death Curse wasn’t an illness, but an evil curse that couldn’t be removed. Only the most evil and powerful Beast Tamer could cast the curse.
The price of the Death Curse was very high. It required at least a hundred Beast Tamers with Supreme Master cultivation levels to sacrifice their Beast Hearts to activate the Death Curse and plant the fruit.
Once this cursed fruit came into contact with humans and successfully found a host, it would split and reproduce indefinitely.
On the Holy Spirit Continent, no one had ever cast such a vicious curse.
Any human who was touched by the Death Curse would have their internal organs completely rot within three days and vomit to death.
The Death Curse was contagious, and it spread so quickly that it was unimaginable.
Deputy Director Sun suddenly took a step back and shouted with a trembling voice, “Quick! Call the Beast Tamer Alliance and inform them that a Death Curse case has appeared in the Prosperous Capital. The city must be sealed and the corpses must be burned!” Otherwise, once someone who was cursed ran out of the Prosperous Capital, not only would the Prosperous Capital be destroyed, but the entire Divine Moon Empire and even the Divine Realm Continent would be destroyed! Or perhaps the entire Holy Spirit Continent!
“Quick, Mr. Jiang, call Young Master Sheng and tell him to seal off the Prosperous Capital immediately. Otherwise, the Divine Moon Empire will face a calamity!” At this moment, Deputy Director Sun no longer had the pretentious att.i.tude from before. His face was filled with panic and despair.
When Jiang Shangfeng heard Deputy Director Sun’s words, he was stunned.
Lock down the Prosperous Capital?
“Sun, what is the Death Curse?” Mr. West, a commoner, had never heard of such an unfathomable thing.
Deputy Director Sun looked at Jiang Shangfeng and the others with despair in his eyes. His voice trembled as he said, “The Death Curse is a kind of evil curse. It’s a kind of curse fruit planted with the beast hearts of a hundred Supreme Master Beast Tamers. And anyone who comes into contact with the curse fruit will have all their organs rot within three days and vomit to death.”
“The Death Curse is incurable and contagious.”
Deputy Director Sun pulled away the old lady’s arm and saw a faint black blood vessel on it. He smiled bitterly and said, “Anyone who is infected has a black blood vessel on their arm.”
Hearing this, Mr. West subconsciously pulled open the sleeve of his sleeve and saw a slightly black blood vessel.
Seeing this, Jiang Shangfeng slowly pulled open the sleeve of his shirt.
A black blood vessel was clearly visible.
