Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Land of Voodoo

A pitch-black night.

A car drove on a rugged mountain road.

The driver was a strong black man, expressionless, like a piece of hard rock.

Driving on the mountain road, the car didn’t have its lights on, but even so, it maintained maximum stability as it went along.

Following the winding mountain path ever upward, when reaching the summit, the black driver suddenly floored the gas pedal, and the car’s engine roared.

Then, like an arrow released from its bow, it crushed the weeds on both sides of the road and shot out from the edge.

There were no cries of alarm; the people sitting in the car didn’t even change their expressions. Immediately after, the car seemed to enter an unfamiliar area and disappeared into thin air.

But the next second, the scenery changed, and the car landed smoothly on the ground before gradually coming to a stop.

An attractive black man stepped forward to open the car door, revealing a delicate face in the darkness to everyone present.

“Miss Julianne, it’s so late, to have you…”

“Where’s that fool Arlo?”

The woman known as Julianne coldly interrupted him.

“Miss Arlo is waiting for you.”

“Take me to her.”

“And…”

Julianne took a few steps then suddenly stopped.

“What level has the leakage reached?”

“Rest assured, a few monsters have entered the real world, but we’ve already sealed off the entire area in advance, and a thorough inspection has ensured that all the monsters have been killed.”

Julianne nodded slightly, a smile appearing on her face, “Arlo should really thank you. If you had affected the teacher’s plan, I wouldn’t mind teaching her a lesson.”

Meanwhile, in the room, Arlo, who had made things difficult for Roger at the inquiry meeting, walked back and forth nervously.

“Damn it, if it weren’t for the problem with the Ghost I was cultivating, why would I be assigned here?!”

“Roger!”

“It must be him, among all the people who have recently been to Room 404, only he is the most suspicious!”

“Whether it’s intentional or not, once I get back to Bordeaux City, I’ll make sure you pay the price.”

Arlo clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.

Bang!

A burly figure pushed the door open, followed by the composed Julianne.

“Julianne, did the teacher send you to take me back?”

A trace of joy appeared on Arlo’s face.

Slap!

The tall black man closed the door, leaving only Arlo and Julianne in the room.

“What a waste, you can’t even handle a small matter properly!”

Julianne looked at Arlo with a dark gaze.

“It’s not my fault!”

Arlo argued loudly, “The Ghost I was cultivating was in its final stage, but then a Demon Hunter suddenly appeared and messed everything up.”

“That young man at the inquiry meeting, his name is Ro…”

“Shut up!”

Julianne snapped coldly, her mighty psychic pressure enveloping the room. Arlo’s face changed color, and she couldn’t help but retreat a few steps.

“To call you a fool is actually a compliment.”

“The teacher only asked you to act impulsively, not to become a real brainless beast!”

“If you feel your brain is of no use, then I wouldn’t mind stuffing your soul into an animal’s body!”

In the face of Julianne’s scolding, Arlo, who always appeared arrogant and domineering in front of others, was now silent as a cicada in winter, shrinking into a ball like a frightened little animal.

In fact, Arlo was not as boisterous as she seemed to be to the outside world; in the eyes of others, she was the Voodoo Queen’s most beloved disciple.

But within the Voodoo Association, everyone was clear that Arlo was simply a chess piece put forth by the queen.

The so-called arrogance and unreasonableness were intentional, a means by which the queen aimed to achieve a certain intent.

Arlo might have appeared esteemed, but behind that façade lay a deadly snare.

If she made a mistake or overstepped, then she would become the actual scapegoat.

Standing before her, Julianne was the universally recognized heir of the entire Voodoo Association.

Arlo had only recently entered the Transcendent Realm, the lowest rank of the Waning Moon Witch, while Julianne, though a year or two younger, had already advanced to a New Moon Witch.

Such talent, even compared to the Voodoo Queen of a decade and a half ago, was hardly inferior.

“Dealing with ghosts is a trivial matter, but what you did at the Hunters Guild was too reckless. The teacher is very disappointed and hopes you can reflect on it here,”

“Moreover, your disappearance will help deflect the Hunters Guild’s anger.”

“I really don’t understand why the teacher is so restrained. The current power of the Hunters Guild is evident to all, we could have been much stronger…”

“Slap!”

Before Arlo could finish speaking, a sharp pain spread across her cheek, and she was sent flying into the wall behind her.

When she got up, half of her face was swollen, and a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

“Mind your tongue!”

Julianne stepped forward.

“Acknowledge your position and do as you ought to!”

“Thankfully, this leak did not bring any adverse effects, otherwise, I would bury you in the marsh.”

She looked Arlo up and down.

“Though it has become uglier, those insects should be able to breed a bunch of cute little things within your body.”

Arlo couldn’t help but shiver. She stepped forward, seemingly wanting to grasp Julianne’s arm, but stopped short when she was in front of her.

“No, don’t!”

“I promise I absolutely will not make the same mistakes again next time.”

Julianne extended a finger and traced it across Arlo’s swollen cheek.

The sharp nail cut a streak of blood on her cheek, Julianne’s voice was tender.

“Does it hurt, my sister?”

Arlo didn’t know whether to nod or shake her head, only managing to reveal a placating smile.

“If it hurts, remember this lesson.”

“If it weren’t for me, your mistakes wouldn’t be compensated with just a slap.”

“Keep a good watch over this place. A fully-formed Cursed Land, if discovered by the Hunters Guild, could bring us great trouble.”

“Do not underestimate the Hunters Guild. Those Demonic Hunters might be low-level, merely handling ordinary incidents, but you should know, they are backed by Blood Hunters.”

“And those are the ones truly worth paying attention to.”

Julianne extended her slightly curled tongue and retrieved a bug the size of a pinky nail.

She placed the fat white bug on Arlo’s cheek, where it wriggled about, greedily sucking the fresh blood.

“This is a crucial period. When everything is ready, we will finally take the stage.”

“My dear sister, what you need to do now is to ensure this place remains hidden from everyone.”

“Don’t disappoint me again.”

As she spoke, she removed the bug crawling on Arlo’s face.

After feeding on the fresh blood, the snow-white bug turned red.

Julianne put the bug in her mouth and gently ground her teeth.

“Crunch.”

“Hmm…”

“Sister’s blood is as delicious as ever.”
