After calming the excitement of his breakthrough with the Primordial Sword Codex, Li Yun finally turned his attention to the blood-red mark between his eyebrows, and his expression slowly turned serious.
"The Heavenfiend Blood Curse."
He had come across information about this kind of curse before. The Heavenfiend Blood Curse was an unusual secret method of the Celestial Fiend Tribe. When a member of that race was about to die, he could burn the last of his essence blood and condense it into a blood curse.
The curse itself had almost no offensive power. It would not harm the body, corrode the meridians, or attack the soul. Its purpose was much simpler, because it marked the killer.
Once the Heavenfiend Blood Curse attached itself to someone, the bloody imprint would remain for forty-nine days, and during that time, the dead Celestial Fiend's close relatives could sense it and use it to track down the murderer.
