Chapter 370: Chapter 370: The Secret Under the Old Locust Tree (2) Chapter 370: Chapter 370: The Secret Under the Old Locust Tree (2) These five venomous words were no less than a thunderclap exploding right here.
Gu Qingfeng’s body swayed several times, and Gu Qiaoqiao hurried to Enjoy reading on NovelHub - your free online novel platform. Although they were mentally prepared, they were still shocked.
Everyone present fell silent for a moment.
Even in these times, where new ideas are encouraged and feudal dross is being discarded, those five words would make anyone feel uneasy upon hearing them.
Gu Qiaoqiao looked at the contents of the coffin, her complexion growing increasingly somber.
Out of all the people here, perhaps only she knew that in her previous life, the Curse of Extinction had come true.
After her suicide, not one person from the Gu Tianfeng lineage was left.
Old Patriarch Gu only had Gu Kun as his biological son, so indeed, he had suffered the extinction of his line.
Was this person Ning Wanru?
Did she bury this decades ago?
“Old Zhang, let’s not beat around the bush, what exactly is going on here?” Gu Qingfeng asked in a dark tone.
“Old Patriarch, this is a Forbidden Technique banned by the Mystic Sect a hundred years ago. I’ve only heard about it from the older generations and saw the pattern in a book at home. This technique is too malicious and it harms one’s moral integrity, so it’s not allowed by the Mystic Sect. But I never expected…”
Gu Qingfeng’s eyes were filled with a menacing glint; this curse made him angrier than if someone had killed him.
“So what do we do now?”
Old Man Zhang was watching the object in his hand intently, contemplating whether or not to shock everyone with the follow-up to the Old Patriarch’s words.
His eldest grandson was about to get married.
They were four generations living under one roof, and their life was hard. Other than picking up garbage every day to make money and not burden his children, he couldn’t help with anything else.
Old Patriarch Gu was wealthy.
For him, such a curse was something he would break at all costs, even if it cost a fortune.
Wouldn’t that suddenly make his family’s life much better?
Hesitation and struggle cast a shadow over Old Man Zhang’s expression, making it hard to read.
And everyone was staring at him.
They believed that, at this moment, no matter what he would say or ask for, the Old Patriarch wouldn’t hesitate.
Old Man Zhang gritted his teeth and began to speak slowly, “It’s fine, the curse has been broken, just now, but it wasn’t me…”
After finishing his words, the old man felt relieved.
There are gods three feet above one’s head!
He ought not claim others’ credit as his own.
This malicious curse had actually been lifted before he arrived.
Sure enough, after Old Man Zhang finished his words, the four wooden swords inside the Black Coffin suddenly fell.
Then, before everyone’s eyes, they turned into a pile of sawdust.
Old Man Zhang pulled out his lighter, flipped it open with a click, and set the yellow paper filled with runes on fire.
It quickly burned to nothing.
He then continued, “Although this curse is malicious, there’s a notion that the one who cast the curse will have it rebound upon them when it’s broken…”
“Old Zhang, can you figure out which family did this?”
“It’s hard to say, Old Patriarch. As you know, nobody believes in this stuff anymore. The once glorious North Third Gate has long since collapsed, so we can’t determine which family it originated from. But rest assured, Old Patriarch, it wasn’t the doing of the Zhang Family, because it requires great power to execute, and in our family, only I am somewhat capable; the others lack the skill.”
“Can you determine how many years it has been buried?” Gu Qingfeng asked, barely containing his rage.
They actually wanted him to be cut off from descendants!
He would find that person and kill them!
