Chapter 937: Where does this confidence come from?

Translator: G.o.dBrandy Editor: Kurisu

The enemies that had raided the Chu Family were all taken care of, and the captured disciples set free. Those that were injured were moved to the infirmary of the clan so that they could receive treatment.

After they were set free, the disciples of the Chu Family angrily glared at the attackers that Venerable White had subdued. Some of the short-tempered disciples couldn’t help but charge forward and use their fists to vent the anger and hate in their heart. The Chu Family wasn’t a buddhist sect, and they weren’t the type to repay ingrat.i.tude with kindness.

In the meantime, the new leader of the Chu Family, Chu Wenyan, and two elders arrived next to Song Shuhang and thanked him and Venerable White for saving the Chu Family.

Afterward…

Song Shuhang asked, “Right, family leader, is Miss Chu Chunying safe? After Fellow Daoist Soft Feather discovered what had happened to the Chu Family, she was very worried about her safety.”

“Fellow Daoist Song, don’t worry. Chunying is fine, and wasn’t injured,” the family leader replied.

After looking at Song Shuhang, the heart of the family leader was filled with emotion. If he didn’t remember incorrectly, when this Fellow Daoist Song had fought on the Grievance Settling Platform the last time, he had just advanced from the First Stage Dragon Gate Realm to the Second Stage Realm. But now, he was already unable to gauge his real strength. He got the feeling that the strength of the opposite party wasn’t below his own.

With his strength of the Third Stage, he was the strongest member of the Chu Family aside from their ancestor. Had Fellow Daoist Song also reached the Third Stage? The family leader felt that he had been simply living at the bottom of a well up until now.

“Right. Fellow Daoist Song, how is Chu Chu?” Chu Wenyan asked.

After the end of the battle on the Grievance Settling Platform, Chu Chu had gone with Song Shuhang to take care of Miss Li Yinzhu. She hadn’t gotten in touch with the Chu Family since then, and they had no idea how she was doing right now.

“Miss Chu Chu is fine, and she’s practicing in a secret realm alongside Yinzhu,” Song Shuhang said with a smile. Then, he pointed at the defeated enemies, and said, “We’ll let the Chu Family deal with those guys lying on the ground. They don’t have the strength to revolt anymore, and you guys can deal with them as you wish.”

Chu Wenyan said, “Fellow Daoist, the Chu Family will never forget this favor.”

Venerable White said, “Don’t worry, it wasn’t much. Anyway, let put this matter aside for the moment. Where is your old family leader of the Fifth Stage?”

“The experts among the enemy ranks injured the ancestor, and forcefully carried him off. Now, they should have already reached that ‘forbidden area’,” Chu Wenyan replied with a bitter expression on his face.

“Which direction did they go in?” Venerable White asked. If they made haste, they could perhaps catch up with the ancestor of the Chu Family.

The family leader shook his head. When the ancestor was carried off, all the members of the Chu Family had been locked up already, and none saw which direction the ancestor went in.

“In that case, do you know the location of the forbidden area?” Venerable White asked. “If you know the location of the forbidden area, we can intercept the opposite party and save your ancestor if we are fast enough.”

“We aren’t very clear where the forbidden area is. However, there is a letter that the ancestor wanted to give to little friend Song, and there might be clues about the position of the forbidden area inside,” the family leader said at this time.

Then, he tore off his left arm—his left arm was an artificial limb.

The letter that the ancestor had left for Song Shuhang was hidden in this artificial limb. Luckily, the attackers didn’t bother searching the disciples of the Chu Family after taking away the ancestor, and didn’t discover the letter.

Song Shuhang took the letter and opened it.

Sure enough, the accurate position of the forbidden area was recorded in the letter. There was also a detailed account of the trip that Chu Kangbo and Li Tiansu had made to the forbidden area.

The forbidden area was hidden deep in the ground, and there were incredible dangers concealed within. The first time Chu Kangbo and Li Tiansu went to the forbidden area, the former got severely injured as they arrived on the periphery of the forbidden area, and Li Tiansu had no choice but to bring him back. Afterward, Chu Kangbo stayed in the Chu Family all the time, and came out only after his wound got somewhat better. Later, Daoist Priest Li Tiansu went to explore the forbidden area on his own. He eventually died there, with his corpse flying far away and falling beside Song Shuhang and Venerable White, forming a knot of karma with them.

In the letter were described three types of danger one would face after barging into the periphery of the forbidden area. The first one was a voodoo curse. If they stepped into the range of the voodoo curse, weak-willed cultivators would go berserk. Their eyes would become red, and they would start attacking their companions.

Back then, Chu Kangbo got affected by this voodoo curse, and suddenly attacked Li Tiansu. Luckily, Li Tiansu’s strength far surpa.s.sed Chu Kangbo’s, and he was able to subdue him and leave the range of the voodoo curse. Fortunately, the effects of the voodoo curse vanished two hours after they had left its range.

The second one was a type of invisible attack that somewhat resembled an invisible attack of sword qi. But, according to Li Tiansu’s guess, it was the work of a sword-shaped insect that could stay invisible and evade the detection of cultivators.

The third and last one was a talisman that an expert of unknown strength had left behind. Back then, when Chu Kangbo and Li Tiansu approached the talisman, a fist suddenly materialized, and severely injured Chu Kangbo with a mysterious fist technique.

After reading the letter, Song Shuhang handed it to Venerable White.

Venerable White concentrated his gaze on the ‘address’ written on the letter and nodded his head. “I know the approximate position. Shuhang, let’s go! We absolutely can’t let those guys get into the forbidden area before us!”

After saying this much, Venerable White stretched out his hand and slashed, creating a s.p.a.ce crack in the air. Then, he grabbed Song Shuhang, and barged into the crack. The monster bird Little Cai tightly held onto Song Shuhang’s shoulder so as to avoid falling off.

“Bang!”

The s.p.a.ce gate closed.

The mouth of the family leader was wide open, and it didn’t close up for a long time.

The power of s.p.a.ce… was that a Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender?!

There was still hope for their ancestor!

❄️❄️❄️

After a short moment…

Venerable White and Song Shuhang drilled out of the s.p.a.ce gate and appeared in an underground area.

“We are there already?” Song Shuhang asked.

“Of course. My teleportation is very precise, and the deviation is not even one centipede,” Venerable White said with a smile.

“One centipede? You mean one centimeter?” Song Shuhang said.

Venerable White replied, “It’s the same thing. Anyway, we are talking about a distance equal to the length of a fingernail.”

“In that case, the forbidden area should lie right in front of us, right?” Song Shuhang asked. In other words, they would soon enter the range of that voodoo curse, and they had to mentally prepare themselves.

“Hmm, actually, we are in the forbidden area already, and we are in the range of that voodoo curse on top of that,” Venerable White said.

“…” Song Shuhang. Senior White, don’t be like this! At the very least, give me the time to prepare!

Just as he was pondering, Song Shuhang felt pain in his head.

It wasn’t the voodoo curse attacking him—it was Little Cai hitting his head with her beak.
