Chapter 1126: Chapter 524: The Curse Mystery (2)
A beastly, hoarse, and terrifying roar echoed behind, causing the mountain peak to tremble violently.
It was Tianji’s roar.
Such pain, yet so much pleasure.
A sound that shook the heavens.
In an instant, those red dots vanished, and the bright lights abruptly went out.
The reinforcents from the Judgent Court chose to surrender completely.
Gu Jianlin wiped the rain from his face; enslaving the Saints with the Ancient God’s Blood was just the first step. The remaining Deacons and Counciln were also within his target range, but he no longer needed to act personally. Now, facing the invasion of the Vermilion Bird Clan was the top priority, and the distant flas on the horizon gave an ominous premonition.
That was the battlefield at Gangrenboqi Peak.
The pressing matter was to find the weakness of the Vermilion Bird Clan.
To understand what the so-called Gu Family curse really was.
Gu Jianlin closed his eyes, and his silent mind surged again, fragnted clues in his mind floating around, trying to piece together a complete picture, yet it remained unclear.
Just an ominous premonition.
"Youzhu..."
Gu Jianlin seed to foresee sothing, as the shadow behind him suddenly turned and vanished.

In the dead of night, Su Youzhu followed the ssages left by the Night Watchers and finally arrived at the asylum.
This was an asylum built in the 1970s. The red paint on the walls had peeled off, and the mottled iron fences looked dilapidated. The old locust tree at the entrance was nearly withered, and plastic bags were rolling in the wind.
It was the kind of place loved by many adventure bloggers.
"Boss."
The Butcher looked around warily: "Why does this place give
the creeps?"
The Scholar also swallowed, murmuring: "Feels like accidentally stumbling onto a horror movie set."
Now both of them had beco perfect Divine Servants and had advanced to the Fifth Rank, able to wield the power of two Supre Laws simultaneously to so extent. Though limited, it was sufficient.
The saying "when one person attains enlightennt, even his chickens and dogs ascend" was the sa principle here.
If it really ca to a fight, Su Youzhu would need to exert so effort to take them down.
"It is indeed a bit strange."
Su Youzhu, like a ghost, glided through the rundown courtyard and entered the dim asylum hall, whispering: "The guide left by the Night Watchers led
here; logically, soone should be waiting for
here."
After coming to Magic City, Su Youzhu strictly followed the habits of the Night Watchers, exploring every stronghold in the city and following clues left at specific locations, which finally led her here.
Like the bun shop on the corner.
Or the sanitation worker at the junction.
Or the telephone pole in front of Jiao Tong University.
The clues of the Night Watchers were very hidden, but they were not hard to find for her.
Such covert ans were necessary to evade the Order World’s pursuit; the Horus Eye Satellite still hovered over the world, monitoring through the Deep Space Network, where ordinary people had no privacy.
Only the Night Watchers could use various thods to evade detection. So far, they were still secretly active in this city, trying to rescue their leader, the forr Vice President, Lin Dong.
Su Youzhu explored the dim corridors and suddenly saw dried blood on the wall. The floor tiles showed signs of being scorched by fire, while terrifying fist imprints and knife marks covered every surface.
Her heart sank; this place had clearly endured a vicious battle!
Further along, charred corpses lay, dead for who knows how long.
The corpses were burnt beyond recognition, revealing nothing about their identities.
Only the standard weapons scattered near them indicated who they were.
Night Watchers.
Without exception, all were Night Watchers!
"Boss!"
The Butcher and the Scholar suddenly called out: "There’s sothing wrong here!"
Su Youzhu quickly flickered forward, arriving at the basent door, where the cold hit her face.
The basent was frozen with frost, adorned with shimring snowflake patterns that sealed the iron door shut.
The ground was covered with array patterns of the Alchemy Matrix, like a spider web over the entire entrance.
"Dinsion Matrix."
Su Youzhu squatted, touching the patterns on the ground, softly saying: "Soone used a micro-dinsion matrix to make the basent entrance an independent space, preventing discovery."
As for the frost sealing the iron door, she was quite familiar with it.
In the Ether Association, only one person excelled at using such Forbidden Spells.
Han Jing.
Su Youzhu remained silent for a mont, then abruptly drew the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword, with countless beams of interwoven cold light flashing.
The ice suddenly shattered, collapsing the heavy iron door along with it.
With a rumble!
In the darkness, sothing suddenly sprang up!
Bang!
The Butcher flashed forward, effortlessly catching the little fist.
The Scholar also lifted a finger, spreading his spiritual Thought to block a descending blade!
Su Youzhu finally saw that they were two children.
The boy, exceedingly skinny, clutched a Tachi, its blade suspended in mid-air.
As for the girl, her hair was disheveled, her dyed platinum short hair faded, her face dirty and gaunt; heavens knew how long they had been hungry.
Su Youzhu recognized these two children.
Fu Qingxuan, Ji Xiaoyu.
They had been trapped there for an unknown period; their food and water long gone. Hearing sounds at the door, they had cautiously hid, attempting to ambush the intruders.
Unfortunately, hunger had wearied them, dimming their spirituality.
Thus, they were easily subdued.
Even against the light, Fu Qingxuan and Ji Xiaoyu saw that familiar cat-face mask.
The owner of this mask was the Moon Princess.
Qilin’s girlfriend.
A slight clink.
Fu Qingxuan’s sword fell to the ground, holding back tears, biting his lip.
His small shoulders trembled.
Ji Xiaoyu also released her fist, retreating step by step, sitting heavily on the ground, eyes misted.
Su Youzhu knew they wanted to co closer, but her cold deanor kept them at bay.
So she put down the Heavenly Cluster Cloud Sword, walked up to them, and dissolved her Virtualization.
"It’s okay."
Su Youzhu gently stroked the two children’s heads, softly saying: "Big sister is here, no one will bully you anymore. You know who I am, don’t you? The war has started, and we’re going to win. You may not know it, but your big brother has beco quite amazing now... He will co to take you ho."
For Su Youzhu, she had never spoken so many words in her life.
Finally, Fu Qingxuan turned his head away, tears and snot streaming down.
Ji Xiaoyu sobbed loudly: "Dead, everyone is dead!"
Su Youzhu’s heart trembled: "Who is dead?"
"They found us, everyone is dead."
Ji Xiaoyu, like an abandoned small beast, sobbed: "Aunt Han and Uncle Fu protected us, locking us here and leading the enemy away themselves..."
The Butcher and the Scholar exchanged glances, seeing surprise in each other’s eyes. They hurriedly pulled out bread and water from their backpacks; if the two children weren’t fed soon, they’d truly starve to death.
In the end, Ji Xiaoyu was beyond tears, unable to utter a complete sentence.
She just took an old diary from under her skirt and handed it over.
"This is what Aunt Han asked us to keep safe, only to be handed to you."
Fu Qingxuan sniffled, speaking for the little girl: "The President, before his death, entrusted a secret mission to Lin Dong and Frost, to investigate the truth behind the Vermilion Bird Clan curse. Vice President Lin Dong imprisoned himself in Magic City to investigate this matter and uncover Solomon’s true identity."
"This is a diary of Professor Gu."
He took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Aunt Han ntioned that Professor Gu, before his death, attempted to leave clues about the Vermilion Bird Clan’s curse through various ans, but they were erased by so unknown force. Only this diary, made of unknown materials, survived."
Su Youzhu silently accepted the diary, not knowing what special material the cover was made from, but it had a rough teorite-like texture, with a cover depicting a ferocious Qiongqi.
With intense curiosity, she opened the diary’s first page.
"April 3, 2021, I saw the deceased clan mbers co to find ..."
