Chapter 1029: Ten Thousand Year Curse!
The Charm of Soul Pets
The old man was stunned, and stared with curiosity at Chu Mu.
As for the old grandmother, she stared at Chu Mu, indistinctly feeling that Chu Mu was a bit familiar. She asked: âWho is Chu Tianmang to you?â
âMy father.â earnestly said Chu Mu.
The old grandmotherâs body trembled, and her pupils emerged from their deep-set nature as they stared closely at Chu Mu.
âYou... you truly are Tianmangâs child?â the old grandmotherâs hand lightly trembled.
Chu Mu nodded his head. He remembered Old Soul Teacher De telling him that his father had three hidden experts as masters.
The blind old man in Xiangrong City was one of them. He was a true intelligent man, worthy of respect, who was an expert once upon a time!
As for the old husband and wife who lived secluded in the Eastern Wild Forest, clearly they had relations with his father. There was a high chance they could be one of his masters.
The old grandmother opened the barrier, inviting the five people into the wooden hut.
The wooden hut was incomparably simple. If it wasnât located in the extremely dangerous Eastern Wild Forest, Chu Mu would feel as if he was entering an extremely impoverished mountain forest house that was extremely destitute.
Chu Mu first introduced himself and gave his identity.
The old grandmother told them their surnames without mentioning their names; nonetheless, she gave their titles.
The old grandmotherâs title was from the previous generation and Chu Muâs generation wouldnât know of it.
Nonetheless, Mu Qingyi seemed to have some relation with these two old people.
âSo you are Mu Kingâs descendant. The current Mu Family is probably incomparable to before, right?â said Old Han.
Mu Qingyi lightly nodded her head.
âThis isnât strength. Your Mu Family has always risen with women, but declined with men. Haha....â Old Han laughed and with a single sentence, illustrated the reason behind the Mu Familyâs decline.
This made Mu Qingyi quite embarrassed. In reality, the Mu Family did rise with women but declined with men. At her fatherâs generation, he was the only child and his aunts either died or were married off. The current generation of the Mu Family only had Mu Qingyi. Moreover, she was a woman, meaning that a small careless mistake and she would take her husbandâs surname and the Mu Family would pretty much end.
âWhat about this woman? Her body exudes a soul aura. She should be a highly proficient soul teacher, right?â asked Old Wen.
âShe is my wife, Ye Qingzi. She is Ying Rongâs disciple. This is her older brother, Ye Wansheng. He is also Ying Rongâs disciple.â introduced Chu Mu.
Chu Mu knew that the two old people werenât able to talk about Chu Tianmangâs matters with other people present. Chu Mu could only restrain his thoughts.
âOh, Ying Rong... the person from outside the cloud gates.â Old Wen nodded her head and said: âNo wonder she learned a good soul method.â
âWhat are the cloud gates?â asked Chu Mu, confused. Just now when they had been arguing, he had heard of the cloud gates.
âIt is a passage. We canât tell you the specifics since only the people who have been there know about it . However, there is a restriction placed there that prevents normal people from walking through. Your father walked across and brought a person back; that person was Ying Rong. In reality, the cloud gates can be considered a border. The master of the border does not let those inside the border to cross, and it was because of this that your father angered the Alliance Master.â said Old Wen.
At this point, Old Han glared at her, wanting her to close her mouth.
From the veiled meanings behind the words and expressions of the two of them, Chu Mu could sense that this wasnât simply a matter of cloud gates.
He could see that these two old fellows were a bit afraid of the Alliance Master. If they had also participated in the Sealed Mouth Event, then they would also have used their souls to take an oath like others with intelligence.
âWhat about that girl?â Old Wen changed the topic. Presumably she was searching for an opportunity to speak alone with Chu Mu.
âShen Yue. She is NIghtmare Palaceâs Princess, Shen Qiuâs daughter.â said Chu Mu.
âShen Qiu?â Old Wen and Old Han looked at each other, blankly. They clearly had not heard of this person.
Shen Yue had an awkward expression, and suddenly felt that her mighty Nightmare Palace princess identity was nothing significant. These two old monsters truly didnât know the experts of this generation.
At this point, Ye Wansheng moved up to Shen Yueâs ear and quietly said: âIn the future when other people introduce you, just use âYe Wanshengâs wifeâ to describe yourself. The people who hear this will definitely be extremely shocked and then respect you.â
Shen Yueâs face instantly turned red, and she muttered something.
However, quickly, Ye Wansheng added a sentence: âBecause I, Ye Wansheng, am Tianxia King Chu Muâs, big brother in law!
After they heard a few stories of the two old fellows, the five others were extremely shocked because many things taken as history by others were mentioned in the nonsensical talk of these old people. Moreover, the genuine reality was inconceivable.
The two old fellows clearly hadnât had anyone visit them in a long while, and didnât stop talking until night fell and everyone began to prepare dinner.
In front of the bonfire, after eating dinner, the five people began to listen to the stories of the two elders again. Occasionally, they would stare at this wife and husband that argued in front of them.
âTheir feelings for each other are truly great.â Ye Qingzi rested against Chu Muâs shoulder and smiled as she watched this pair of husband and wife argue, flushed with anger, over the past.
âIn the future, we can find a nice place to live in seclusion and live such a shameless lifestyle.â Chu Mu softly said in Ye Qingziâs ear.
Ye Qingzi took out her small hand and pinched Chu Mu. Feigning anger she said: âYou donât know how to say anything else?â
âWu wu wu~~~~~ Wu wu wu~~~~~~~â
As they were flirting, a serene cry suddenly rang out from the pitch black mountain forest. It made everyone feel as if a child was crying.
At this moment, the small Mo Xie, whose lips were greasy while gnawing on roast meat, raised her head. She looked at the direction of the cry, and climbed up to the top of a tree with her roast meat.
âIt seems to be the shout of a demon fox.â Ye Qingzi looked up.
Chu Mu nodded his head. This indeed was a demon foxâs cry. When the small Mo Xie gave a cry, her voice was pretty much the same, but wasnât as sharp.
A moment later, the small Mo Xie jumped down from the top of the tree as her claws were still picking away at the delicious roast meat...
Chu Mu bitterly laughed and helped this greedy small fellow hold her delicacy. He asked: âWhatâs the matter? Is it someone from your species?â
The small Mo Xie nodded her head and let out a âwu wuâ cry.
Chu Mu wasnât able to translate in time before Old Han, who had stopped arguing, said: âSome demon fox group is about to hold a meeting.â
When demon foxes were mentioned, Chu Mu remembered that they had come here to find the Fox Temple. The two old people had lived secluded here for many years and probably knew where the Fox Temple was.
âFox Temple? Where did you hear this phrase from?â Old Han was stunned.
âI learned about it from the guardian of the demon realm, the Forgiven Fox Thunder Monarch.â responded Chu Mu.
âDemon realm? What demon realm? Tell me the exact location.â Old Hanâs expression turned serious.
Chu Mu looked at Mu Qingyi and she answered for him: âPast the western side of the heavenly mountains and up north is a forbidden region...â
âYouâre talking about the Thunder Calamity Space? What did you guys go there for?â Old Han immediately figured it out.
Mu Qingyi gave a rough explanation of the phoenix rebirth; however, Old Han creasued his brows, as he seemed to be dissatisfied with Chu MU and the others entering the Thunder Calamity Space.
âRemember, if you ever go there again, you absolutely cannot charge in; especially given the diagram valley you mentioned just now. Who told you that as long as you donât summon a dominator rank soul pet, you wouldnât awaken the sealed creatures in the diagram valley? If you were to have stepped onto a certain node on the diagram array, you would have been buried there regardless of how many dominator ranks you have!â Old Han seriously said.
Chu Mu and Mu Qingyi looked at each other. Clearly, they had no idea the diagram valley was that dangerous!
âStop fear-mongering. There are only a few of those nodes. The chances of you stepping on them are about as high as the chances of you stepping on a trap on the road.â kindly said Old Wen. Her words made Chu Mu and Mu Qingyi sigh in relief.
âBut regardless, you shouldnât randomly enter.â warned Old Han.
âWhy is it called the Thunder Calamity Space? Why is it special?â Chu Mu was very curious towards this.
âSince you have a Seven Sins Fox, you should know that the Seven Sins Fox are a cursed creature. They need to undergo a thousand generations of atonement. If each Sin Fox births its next generation on average every ten years, the curse will last ten thousand years!â
Ten thousand years!!
How terrifying of a curse was this!? How powerful did it have to be to shackle a species for this long?!
âShouldnât... shouldnât this just be a legend?â softly asked Mu Qingyi.
âLegend? There are many things written in books that are only legends. But the Seven Sins Fox curse is real!â earnestly said Old Han.
Today, the two of them had spoken many truths. Moreover, they had given evidence, making the five listeners believe that their 100 year version of history was the closest to the truth.
Now when they were talking about the Seven Sins Fox curse, the five of them all subconsciously grew serious. A mysterious shock instantly burst out of their heart!
âAs for why the Seven Sins Fox was cursed, Iâm not sure. However, the best proof of the Seven Sins Foxâs first ancestor being cursed is the Thunder Calamity Space. In truth, the Thunder Calamity Space is called the Fox Temple.â said Old Han.
âSo youâre saying that the diagram valley is actually an enormous curse diagram?â Mu Qingyi came to an abrupt understanding, and let out a shocked voice!
The scale and magnitude of the diagram valley was still imprinted in Mu Qingyiâs head. It was hard to imagine what terrifying power would be released after the diagram was opened!
Old Han nodded his head and said: âThat is the Forgiven Fox Thunder Monarchâs curse. The Forgiven Fox Thunder Monarch you are speaking of allegedly obtaining forgiveness in the Eastern Wild Forest is completely false. The forgiveness definitely comes from that Forgiven Fox innately being the thousandth generation. It was because it lived too close to the curse that it had always been restrained. When it actually did leave that place, its strength was naturally released. This had nothing to do with coming to the Eastern Wild Forest.â
