Chapter 1164 - Chapter 1164 Chapter 1029 Ten Thousand Year Curse

Chapter 1164: Chapter 1029: Ten Thousand Year Curse! Chapter 1164: Chapter 1029: Ten Thousand Year Curse! The old man was stunned, looking at Chu Mu with doubtful eyes.

Meanwhile, the old lady was staring at Chu Mu, feeling a vague sense of familiarity, and asked, “What relation are you to Chu Tianmang?”

“He is my father,” Chu Mu replied seriously.

The old lady trembled all over, her pupils bulging from her deep-set eye sockets as she stared intently at Chu Mu.

“You… are you truly Tianmang’s child?” The old lady’s hands trembled slightly with excitement.

Chu Mu nodded. He remembered Teacher De, the Spirit Master, had once mentioned that his father had a mentor-disciple relationship with three hermit experts.

One of them was the Blind Elder of Xiangrong City, a truly respectable sage and once among the strong ones!

And now, the old couple living in the depths of the East Madness Forest were clearly related to his father, and very likely one of those experts.

The old lady opened the barrier and invited the five people into the wooden house.

The wooden house was extremely simple; had it not been located in the perilously dangerous East Madness Forest, Chu Mu would have felt like he had entered a poor mountain village dwelling, it seemed so impoverished.

Chu Mu first gave a brief introduction and clarified his name and identity.

The old couple also mentioned their surnames, did not share their given names, but did mention their titles.

Naturally, the titles of the old couple were matters of the last century; it was impossible for Chu Mu’s generation to know them.

However, Mu Qingyi seemed to have some connection with these two elders.

“So, you are a descendant of King Mu. The Mu Clan these days must have fallen on hard times, haven’t they?” Old Man Han said.

Mu Qingyi gave a slight nod.

“That’s not surprising, your Mu Clan has always had stronger females than males, haha…” Old Man Han laughed, hitting the nail on the head regarding the decline of the Mu Clan.

This left Mu Qingyi feeling somewhat embarrassed; indeed, the Mu Clan had stronger females than males. By her father’s generation, he was the sole male descendant. Her aunts either met with accidents or were married off. Now, Mu Qingyi was the only direct descendant of the Mu Clan, and being a woman, if she carelessly took her husband’s surname, the Mu Clan would more or less be finished.

“And this young lady here, she has an aura of spirituality about her. She must be a Spirit Master with superb spirit art, right?” Old Lady Wen asked.

“My wife, Ye Qingzi, is a disciple of Ying Rong, and this is her brother Ye Wansheng, also a disciple of Ying Rong,” Chu Mu introduced.

Chu Mu also knew that the two elders were not comfortable discussing Chu Tianmang’s matter in the presence of others, so for now, he could only suppress his urgent feelings.

“Oh, Ying Rong… The one from outside Yunmen,” Old Lady Wen nodded, adding, “No wonder she’s learned excellent spirit art.”

“What’s Yunmen?” Chu Mu asked, puzzled. He had heard the term Yunmen during their earlier argument.

“It’s a passageway; we are not clear on the specifics, only those who have been there would know. That place is under a prohibition, and ordinary people can’t cross it. Your father went through, and he brought someone back with him, that person being Ying Rong. Actually, Yunmen can be considered a boundary, and as the master of the boundary, you are not allowed to let people within the boundary cross over. Your father angered the Alliance Master precisely for this reason,” Old Lady Wen said.

At that moment, Old Man Han gave her a look, signaling her to keep quiet about the matter.

From the coloration on their faces and their veiled words, Chu Mu sensed that there was definitely more to the issue than just a portal like Yunmen.

It was evident that both elders were somewhat wary of the Alliance Master. If they too were part of the sealing incident, they likely had sworn oaths with their souls like the other informed individuals.

“And what about this young lady?” Old Lady Wen shifted the topic, indicating these matters would probably be discussed privately with Chu Mu at a later time.

“Shen Yue, Princess of the Nightmare Demon Palace, daughter of Shen Qiu,” Chu Mu said.

“Shen Qiu?” Old Lady Wen and Old Man Han looked at each other with puzzled expressions, their cluelessness suggesting they had never heard of the person.

Shen Yue, too, felt embarrassed, suddenly realizing her distinguished status as the Princess of the Nightmare Demon Palace seemed inconsequential here, facing these two ancient powerhouses who were clearly from another era.

At that moment, Ye Wansheng leaned into Shen Yue’s ear and whispered, “In the future, when others introduce you, they will definitely describe you as ‘the wife of Ye Wansheng,’ and the listeners will surely be shocked, then treat you with great respect.”

Shen Yue’s cheeks flushed immediately, as she muttered a response.

However, Ye Wansheng soon added, “Because I, Ye Wansheng, am the great brother-in-law of World King Chu Mu!”

Listening to the two elders recount some ancient stories, the five listeners were all extremely astonished. Many things that were considered history by the world were dismissed as nonsense by these two direct witnesses, and the actual events turned out to be utterly incredible.

The two old folks clearly hadn’t received guests in a long time, chatting incessantly until it was almost nightfall, and then they prepared dinner for everyone.

Sitting in front of the campfire, after supper, the five again listened to the old couple’s stories, occasionally exchanging glances as they watched the old husband and wife argue in front of them.

“They really do have a great affection for each other,” Ye Qingzi said with a trace of a smile on her lips as she leaned on Chu Mu’s shoulder, watching the old couple argue animatedly over something that happened in the past.

“In the future, we could also find a nice secluded place to live shamelessly.” Chu Mu whispered into Ye Qingzi’s ear.

Ye Qingzi withdrew her small hand and pinched Chu Mu, feigning anger, “Can’t you use any other words?”

“Wuu wuu wuu~~~~~~~~~~ wuu wuu wuu~~~~~~~”

While they were teasing each other, a faint wailing that sounded like the cry of an infant suddenly came from the dark mountain forest, sending chills down one’s spine.

At that moment, Little Mo Xie, who was greedily tearing into the roasted meat, smeared with grease, raised her head to glance in the direction of the sound, then quickly scrambled up to the highest point of the tree crown, still clutching her delicious roasted meat.

“That seems to be the cry of a demon fox,” Ye Qingzi looked up and inquired.

Chu Mu nodded. It indeed was the cry of a demon fox. Little Mo Xie’s wailing sounded similar, but it wasn’t as sharp.

After a moment, Little Mo Xie had already jumped down from the tree crown, still holding onto that fragrant roasted meat with her small paws…

Chu Mu let out a wry smile as he took over the food from the gluttonous little creature and asked, “So, is it one of your kind?”

Little Mo Xie nodded and began to wail softly.

Before Chu Mu could translate, Old Man Han, who had stopped quarrelling, spoke, “Those demon foxes are probably having another meeting.”

It was only then that Chu Mu remembered his reason for coming to the East Madness Forest was to find the Fox Temple. Since the two elders had been living in seclusion here for many years, they must have some knowledge of its location.

“Fox Temple? Where did you hear that name?” Old Man Han asked, somewhat stunned.

“I learned it from the Guardian, Fox Lei Jun, the Absolver, in the Demonic Realm,” Chu Mu replied.

“Demonic Realm? What Demonic Realm? Be more specific about the location,” Old Man Han asked, his expression growing more serious.

Chu Mu looked at Mu Qingyi, who spoke on his behalf, “Beyond the western foot of the Heavenly Mountains, keep heading north, there is a prohibited area there… ”

“Are you talking about the space of thunder tribulation? What did you go there for?” Old Man Han immediately hit the nail on the head.

Mu Qingyi briefly described her phoenix rebirth, but Old Man Han still frowned, seemingly displeased with Chu Mu and the others venturing into the space of thunder tribulation.

“Remember, if you come across such places in the future, don’t recklessly trespass, especially that Array Valley you mentioned. Who told you that not summoning a Dominator level spirit pet wouldn’t awaken the sealed creatures in Array Valley? If you accidentally step on an important node of the array diagram, no matter how many Dominator levels you have, you’d all be buried there!” Old Man Han said very seriously.

Chu Mu and Mu Qingyi looked at each other, clearly unaware of the danger of Array Valley!

“Don’t be alarmist. The important nodes of the array are few, and the chances of stepping on one are as slim as encountering a sinkhole while walking,” Old Lady Wen was clearly more compassionate, and her words relieved Chu Mu and Mu Qingyi.

“In any case, don’t venture into such places in the future,” Old Man Han still admonished.

“Why is it called the space of thunder tribulation? What’s special about it?” Chu Mu was also very curious.

“Since you have a Seven Sins Fox, you should know they are cursed creatures. They need redemption over a thousand generations. If each Sin Fox gives birth to the next generation every ten years on average, then this curse would last for ten thousand years!”

Ten thousand years!!

What a frightful curse it was to last for a full ten thousand years, and what immense power it would take to burden an entire race with such a shackle!

“This… This must just be a legend, right?” Mu Qingyi asked in a low voice.

“Legend? Many things written in books are indeed legends, but the curse of the Seven Sins Fox is a fact!” Old Man Han said very earnestly.

Throughout the day, the two elders had talked about many facts, with credible evidence, making the five of them believe that the centennial history they shared was closest to the truth.

And now that the old man said the curse of the Seven Sins Fox was a fact, all five of them instinctively took it to be true, experiencing a profound sense of shock that suddenly burst forth in the depths of their hearts!

“As for why the Seven Sins Fox was cursed, I, the old man, do not know. However, it is a fact that their most ancient ancestor was cursed. The best proof of that is the space of thunder tribulation; in fact, the space of thunder tribulation is what is actually known as Fox Temple,” Old Man Han continued.

“So, Array Valley is a gigantic cursed array diagram?” Mu Qingyi suddenly had a realization and exclaimed in shock!

The enormity and vastness of Array Valley were still imprinted in Mu Qingyi’s mind, and it was hard to imagine the terrifying power that would be unleashed once the array diagram was activated!

Old Man Han nodded and said, “That’s the curse of Fox Lei Jun, the Absolver. That so-called Fox Lei Jun, the Absolver you mentioned that gained redemption in the East Madness Forest is absolutely false. Surely that Absolver is already a descendant of the Seven Sins Fox from a thousand generations later, whose strength has always been suppressed due to being near the racial curse. Once it left there, its power was naturally released. This has nothing to do with whether it came to the East Madness Forest or not.”
