The Strongest Curse Master: Start by refining the Seven Arrows Book

The crowd remained calm and unfazed by Lu Jing's threat.

A second-tier professional calmly stated, "Instructor, the Poison Doctor doesn't kill people, but that doesn't mean he's left; the Fierce Tiger Gang won't risk returning. Moreover, the Fierce Tiger Gang's main concern is the Azure Sky Gang, not insignificant people like us, so you don't need to scare us with them."

Lu Jing's anger intensified as she observed their expressions, her face growing increasingly unpleasant.

Subsequently, Lu Jing retrieved a recording jade stone, scolding, "Stop pretending! The competition between academies is fierce, with all sorts of ruthless tactics used for recruitment. I had you contact other academies because I knew you had betrayed the interests of the Butcher Academy. This jade stone contains records of your betrayal."

The crowd glanced at the recording jade stone, showing slight nervousness before quickly regaining composure, and said in unison:

"Instructor, we were all nurtured by the Butcher Academy and would never betray its interests."

"Instructor, why are you falsely accusing us?"

"We're not afraid of being wrongly accused…"

"Shut up!" Lu Jing roared, silencing everyone.

Her eyes filled with fury, Lu Jing smashed the jade stone on the ground, saying almost maniacally:

"The most frequent thing you've done is interfere with space transmissions, diverting babies intended for the Life Witch to other academies. My poor, deceased student was responsible for guarding these things. She came to give me this a few days ago! Take a look!"

Someone immediately picked up the recording jade stone and injected energy, instantly revealing images of contracts signed by the crowd with other academies.

"Crack!" The second-tier professional crushed the jade stone with a forceful grip, and the contract images vanished.

The others lost their earlier composure, becoming tense and extremely pale.

None of those present had undertaken overly dangerous missions or received many resources. Their ability to break through to the second tier within a few decades was due to betraying the Butcher Academy's interests.

They thought they had hidden it well, but it was exposed after all.

Seeing their reaction, Lu Jing took a deep breath, calmed herself, and sneered:

"I threatened you with the Fierce Tiger Gang to save you some face, but you didn't appreciate it. So, let's just tear off the pretense and expose your dirty deeds. Anyway, my student is dead, and other academies can't pursue her for leaking the contracts. Today, you have no choice but to help me!"

The crowd remained silent with grim faces. After a moment, a second-tier professional asked with a dark expression:

"Instructor, your most beloved student probably came to give you the contract specifically to threaten us, right? As for giving her resources to deal with the Azure Sky Gang, that's just something you made up!"

A flicker of pain crossed Lu Jing's face as she shook her head and said, "No, I only concealed the contract from you. The other things are true! If others could really assassinate members of the Azure Sky Gang, I wouldn't be threatening you like this."

Upon hearing this, the crowd sneered inwardly.

Good riddance, should have died before delivering the contract.

The crowd glanced at the somewhat deranged Lu Jing, refraining from provoking her further, and said, "I'm willing to help."

"Me too."

"Me too…"

Lu Jing regained her composure and retrieved a pile of storage rings, saying, "Here are some first-tier resources, all given to me as tribute. I'll give them to you now, to nurture more second-tier professionals."

After saying this, Lu Jing left the room, dejected.

As soon as Lu Jing left, the crowd immediately took out the items from the storage rings and placed them on the ground.

Staring at the piles of first-tier resources, they were momentarily stunned.

Never before in their cultivation had they seen so many resources at once.

At that moment, a second-tier professional casually said, "I wonder how many second-tier resources the instructor gave that woman. Were there this many?"

Upon hearing this, the crowd's gaze toward the first-tier materials lost some of its joy and gained a hint of annoyance.

…

Fang Che, wearing a cloak and mask, arrived at the Cursed Master's mission hall and saw Ling Jie waiting at the entrance.

Fang Che asked Ling Jie, "Is the leader looking for me to accept a mission?"

Fang Che had been cultivating at home when he suddenly received a message from Ling Jie, saying to gather at the Cursed Master's mission hall, so he rushed over.

Ling Jie glanced at the heavily wrapped Fang Che and, upon getting closer, sensed a faint threat.

Feeling this familiar threat, Ling Jie then said, "There's no mission; there's an important matter to discuss within the group. I was worried you'd be assassinated again on your way back, so I came here to meet you and bring you back together."

Fang Che nodded and said, "Thank you, leader."

Fang Che didn't ask what the group was planning to discuss, knowing everything would be clear upon reaching the Azure Sky Gang's base.

Subsequently, the two returned to the Azure Sky Gang's base side by side, encountering no assassinations along the way.

Entering the base, Fang Che followed Ling Jie to the room where he had previously met the ten cursed masters.

However, instead of cursed masters, the room was filled with all the second-tier professionals of the Azure Sky Gang.

Ling Jie closed the door and waved her hand, saying, "Everyone, please sit down."

After everyone was seated, Ling Jie said with a serious expression:

"I previously bribed several instructors from the Butcher Academy. The students these instructors nurture will awaken their professions next year. Originally, I wanted to use these instructors to invite the awakened professionals to the Azure Sky Gang, but I learned something very detrimental to the Azure Sky Gang."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the crowd became serious.

Fang Che looked around, unsure of what others were thinking, but he maintained a serious facade while secretly planning to leave the Azure Sky Gang if trouble arose.

Of course, before leaving, Fang Che would provide some resources to support the Azure Sky Gang, as a thank you for their past assistance.

At this moment, Ye Ling curiously asked, "Leader, what happened?"

Ling Jie sighed and said, "Our instructor, Lu Jing, is known to everyone and isn't a good person. Lu Jing discovered that most of the members recruited by the Azure Sky Gang had been deceived by her, believing we were trying to oppose her. So, Lu Jing contacted the academy, wanting them to use contracts to send us to the Tiger-Man Plane to collect resources!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the crowd worsened, and Yun Tian slammed the table in anger, cursing:

"Damn Lu Jing! She's the one who offended most of the students. Even if we wanted to recruit those not offended by Lu Jing, we can't find them! I was originally considering not bothering with her out of respect for the knowledge Lu Jing imparted to me, but she's causing trouble for us instead! Damn it, when I break through to the third tier, I'll never forgive that bastard Lu Jing!"
