1522 Yasha’s Curse, I Want Them All, Black Tentacles
“Please forgive our manners, Ghost Emperor,” said the beautiful yasha.
Chu Kuangren was not overly bothered either, so he said, “I am not a narrow-minded person either.”
“What brings you to our mountains, Ghost Emperor?”
“Are you sure this is the place to talk?”
The yasha looked around. Despite being surrounded by mountains, it was not a place to discuss important matters.
Therefore, Chu Kuangren was invited into the Yasha Tribe’s territory.
Along the way, Chu Kuangren learned the name of the beautiful yasha — Ye Yunluo.
She was also the current tribe leader.
When inside the yasha’s territory, Chu Kuangren saw many other yashas. The male yashas were all ferocious and terrifying, while the females were all beautiful and bewitching.
The drastic difference remained astonishing to Chu Kuangren.
“What is this strange energy presence?”
Chu Kuangren sensed a strange energy presence on the yashas, and it was his first time coming across something like that.
Strangely, only the male yashas exuded the strange energy.
“Lil Ai, analyze it for me.”
Chu Kuangren told Lil Ai to analyze the yashas thoroughly to find out the source of the strange energy presence.
Lil Ai did not let him down.
While he was talking to Ye Yunluo, Lil Ai was almost done with the analysis of the yashas.
“Ghost Emperor, can you state the intention of your visit?” Ye Yunluo asked.
“I am here for one thing and one thing only: I want to enter the restricted land of the Yasha Tribe.”
Chu Kuangren was almost done with the analysis, and Emperor Qin’s Underworld Terracotta Army was indeed in the restricted land of the Yasha Tribe.
Ye Yunluo frowned. “You want to enter the restricted land? Not everyone is permitted entry to the restricted land. The reason why it’s restricted is because of its danger. Even I dare not simply set foot inside. Why do you want to go there?”
“To retrieve something,” Chu Kuangren said as he glanced at Ye Yunluo. He wanted to know if Ye Yunluo knew about Emperor Qin’s Underworld Terracotta Army.
Ye Yunluo’s eyes gleamed before she said, “It’s not a place that anyone can enter at will.”
“It seems like you know about Emperor Qin’s Underworld Terracotta Army.”
Chu Kuangren decided to skip the chatters and go straight to the point.
“I see. You really are here for the Underworld Terracotta Army.”
Ye Yunluo glanced at Chu Kuangren strangely. “But only the descendant of Emperor Qin is allowed entry to that place. Are you Emperor Qin’s descendent?”
“No.”
However, he did kill the descendant of Emperor Qin.
He did not tell Ye Yunluo about the second part because he was unsure if the Yasha Tribe was related to Emperor Qin.
“Emperor Qin’s Underworld Terracotta Army is indeed an important matter. Our ancestors discovered it by chance and decided to build our tribe here so that we could one day access and retrieve the Warriors.
“But even after so many years, we have not made any progress. Ghost Emperor, are you confident enough to access it?” Ye Yunluo asked.
“I can try.”
“If so, we can allow you to give it a try, but my tribe has kept watch over the Underworld Terracotta Army for many years. If you’re going to take it, we want half of it as well,” Ye Yunluo said.
The Yasha Tribe had spent countless efforts throughout the years to access the Underworld Terracotta Army, yet they had not been able to proceed further. Therefore, if it was possible, Ye Yunluo wanted to fulfill the late wishes of her ancestors.
“I want everything inside it!”
Ye Yunluo was surprised by Chu Kuangren’s reply.
She thought Chu Kuangren would at least try to negotiate, but he did not even give her the chance to bargain as he claimed that he wanted everything.
The Underworld Terracotta Army was located within Yasha Tribe’s territory and not Fengdu, so what fueled his confidence to seize all the spoils?
Ye Yunluo reacted bitterly, and her Arch Gilded intent started to spread.
“If that’s the case, I’m sorry. If Fengdu wants to go to war with us, we will answer it with force. You can bring your army here, and we will fight you to death.”
The other yashas beside Ye Yunluo stared at Chu Kuangren with utmost hostility.
Bai Mei gripped the Ghostkiller Sword tightly as she was afraid that the yashas might attack suddenly.
Rumor had it that yashas were fierce and resolute, and it seemed like it was true.
If she knew things would get so tense, she would ask General Skull to come along.
Compared to Bai Mei, Chu Kuangren was a lot calmer. He sat steadily and sipped on his cup of tea.
At that, the yashas’ expressions turned grim when they saw that the Ghost Emperor was not taking them seriously.
As they glared at Chu Kuangren, his handsome face became an eyesore, and they wished they could rip his face apart.
“How long has it been since the Yasha Tribe was cursed?” Chu Kuangren said right before the yashas wanted to throw him out of their territory.
Ye Yunluo’s expression shifted.
“Ghost Emperor, what do you mean?” she asked.
“The male yashas are all ferocious-looking, but the female yashas are all beautiful, even if they are from the same mother! All of you think it’s natural, but it is in fact… a curse!” Chu Kuangren said.
Ye Yunluo calmed down after hearing his words, but the other yashas were dumbfounded.
It seemed like other than Ye Yunluo, the others had no idea about the curse.
To them, male yashas looking ferocious and female yashas looking beautiful was something natural, and it had never struck them as a problem.
Did they not look ferocious by nature?
Was it because of a curse?
The thought agitated the male yashas.
“Tribe Leader, what is that supposed to mean?”
“Tribe Leader, is it true?”
Ye Yunluo bellowed coldly, “Nonsense! Men, toss him out of our territory!”
The yashas exchanged a confused look but ultimately decided to trust their own leader.
After all, Chu Kuangren was just an outsider.
That was when Chu Kuangren pulled out a sword that had countless strange talismans carved on it.
The moment the sword was drawn, many of the yasha felt a quiver deep in their body.
He wielded the sword and slashed one of the male yashas.
It was so fast that even Ye Yunluo failed to react. No one had expected him to attack all of a sudden.
The sword slashed the male yasha, but strangely, it did not leave any cut or damage on his body.
Then, a black tentacle burst out from the male yasha’s body.
The other yashas watched as Chu Kuangren slashed the tentacle into pieces.
The male yasha shouted in pain before black smoke exuded from his body.
When the black smoke dissipated, the ferocious yasha was replaced by a handsome young man.
The scene shocked every yasha present.
‘What happened?’
Shocked, Ye Yunluo looked at Chu Kuangren and asked, “You broke the curse?!”
