Chapter 989: Removing the Curse

Editor: Atlas Studios

An Ran frowned slightly, “Are you saying that only the cursed people are getting sick? If someone doesn’t have a tumor, it means they’re not cursed and won’t develop this, right? So it’s not contagious, then?”

Yu Su nodded. Her tacit agreement made everyone at the scene heave a sigh of relief. Since it was not contagious, as long as they were not cursed, they would be fine.

Soon, Steward Mo returned. He glanced at Yu Su and said, “The Thunder God has given his consent. You may speak privately.””

The disciples around the formation temporarily closed it. Yu Su walked out of the immortal trap and followed Steward Mo. The two of them walked to a corner and Steward Mo asked anxiously, “Do you know a way to remove the curse?”

“Steward Mo, you’ve also been cursed, right?” Yu Su said confidently.

Mo Ting sighed and smiled bitterly. “Yes, I have it too, but it’s not too serious. I can still live normally. If you have a solution, Mount Zhongnan will definitely treat you as an esteemed guest.”

“Tell me, why did you gather us up the mountain?” Yu Su asked calmly.

It was not the season for herbs to be harvested on Mount Zhongnan, so Steward Mo had never really wanted to trade with these merchants. This trade was just a cover.

Mo Ting sighed. “Looks like I can’t hide it from you. This curse indeed appeared a week ago. At that time, it made everyone panic. All the elders on the mountain have tried to solve it, but they still can’t get rid of the curse.”

The curse was hidden too deeply. Usually, as long as the source of the curse was found, it could be removed. However, this curse was not fated to be found at all. With so many people falling ill at the same time and so many things they usually came into contact with, they could not find any clues at all.

“Can the curse that all the elders can’t remove be removed just by getting a group of merchants up the mountain?” Yu Su said mockingly. It was obvious that Steward Mo was up to no good.

Mo Ting sighed. “I had no choice. Elder Kong Chen did a divination. He said that the turning point is on you guys. As long as you successfully ascend the mountain, this crisis can be resolved.”

“Is this the reason for your deception and imprisonment?” Yu Su’s gaze was very cold.

Mo Ting felt a very strong aura from the girl for no reason. He could not help but wipe the sweat on his forehead. “This… we have no choice. Didn’t you come? I believe you know the way to remove the curse, right?”

He admitted that this method was a little despicable, but as long as Mount Zhongnan regained its former peace, this was nothing.

“I don’t know,” Yu Su said bluntly. She looked at the building not far away and began to generate a map in her mind.

“You!” Mo Ting gritted his teeth in anger. “Are you playing with me?” He had originally thought that he had welcomed hope, but he did not expect that there was still no way. He felt even more despair.

Yu Su said, “Since the turning point is with us, undo the seal on the formation and lead us up the mountain. Perhaps the turning point will come. Could it be that you want to remove the curse out of thin air?”

Mo Ting’s eyes lit up. This was a good idea.

Mo Ting thought for a moment and nodded. “Alright, I can let you walk freely on the mountain, but only for these two days. If the deadline passes and you haven’t found a way to remove it, don’t blame me for being rude.” He took the lead and returned to the center of the crowd.

“Woosh!” Mo Ting waved his hand at the Daoist priests around him, and the array formation was instantly dispelled.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The merchants immediately surrounded Yu Su and asked her all at once.

“What kind of curse is that?”

“Is it really not contagious? My family has only one descendant for seven generations. I can’t die on Mount Zhongnan.”

“How did you get Steward Mo to let us out?”

“Are you confident that you can lift the curse?”

“What do we do next?”

This group of people seemed to treat Yu Su as their leader.

Yu Su smiled. “Everyone, don’t be anxious. I’ve already fought for two days of freedom from Steward Mo. From now on, you can walk on the mountain. Be careful not to enter the forbidden land. Otherwise, I won’t be able to save you.”

“Of course!” A middle-aged uncle nodded and said, “But the matter of the curse has not been resolved. Why would the people of Mount Zhongnan be willing to let us tour the mountain?”

The auntie beside him said, “Who said we’re touring? We’re also looking for clues.”

Just like that, the merchants settled down on the mountain. When it was dark, wails rose and fell on the mountain, accompanied by the sound of explosions.

Xiao Han looked at Yu Su worriedly. “Yu Su, what should we do next?”
