Chapter 373 Memory loss
The Hall of Challenge.
Jun Yijue's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, fixed tightly on the light curtain in front of him, his attention was completely focused on Su Chenyin.
The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and that curve was filled with endless tenderness and love.
However, when Su Chenyin and Zitan'er mentioned the real reason why the Blood Curse Land was cursed, Jun Yijue's expression changed slightly.
Jun Yijue slowly sat up straight, and the atmosphere in the hall seemed to tighten as a hint of coolness quietly spread.
He turned his head suddenly, and his eyes shot straight at An Shuo who was sitting next to him like an icy arrow.
An Shuo suddenly felt a chilly gaze cast upon himself, and he couldn't help but shiver.
It turned its head cautiously and met Jun Yijue's extremely cold eyes that seemed to be able to freeze a person to death, and its heart suddenly skipped a beat.
An Shuo immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at Jun Yijue again, and his body began to tremble slightly.
"Master..." An Shuo stuttered, with a hint of panic in his voice.
“Hmm?” Jun Yijue responded, with the last syllable rising, carrying a hint of danger.
When An Shuo heard this, his body trembled suddenly. He swallowed in fear and lowered his head even more.
It secretly raised its eyes to observe Jun Yijue's expression.
I noticed that Jun Yijue pursed his thin lips. Although his face was expressionless, his eyes were extremely cold, as if emitting endless chill.
An Shuo only felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet and rushing straight to his forehead, making him shiver.
It quickly lowered its eyes, not daring to look at Jun Yijue again, fearing that it would accidentally anger the other party.
However, An Shuo's furtive glance naturally did not escape Jun Yijue's sharp eyes, and he raised his eyebrows.
I muttered to myself: Am I that scary? Is it necessary to scare Xiao Shuo so much?
If An Shuo knew what his master was thinking, he would definitely complain about him in his heart.
My master, the way you look at people is so cold, as if you are about to kill someone. How can I not be afraid?
Jun Yijue looked at An Shuo's panic and couldn't help but find it funny in his heart, but he still maintained a cold expression on his face.
Jun Yijue slowly withdrew his gaze and refocused his attention on Su Chenyin in the light curtain, a faint smile appearing on the corner of his mouth again.
Feeling that his master's gaze had finally shifted away from him, An Shuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, at this moment, Jun Yijue suddenly glanced at An Shuo with his peripheral vision and said calmly:
"Xiao Shuo, tell me, why is the reason why the Blood Curse Land is cursed different from what you told me?"
Hearing these words, An Shuo's heart tightened, his body instantly tensed up, and his heartbeat quickened.
It raised its head cautiously, met Jun Yijue's cold and deep eyes, and explained tremblingly:
"Master, I... I said before that the curse of the Blood Curse Land was a curse condensed from resentment. In fact, I also saw it in a file."
"The file contains scattered records of fighting, resentment, and curses, so I guess this might be the reason."
"I really don't know that the real reason why the Blood Curse Land is cursed is not because of this, but as the mistress said, it is because of the cursed power."
An Shuo said this with a guilty conscience, avoiding looking at Jun Yijue.
"Oh? Is that really the case?"
Jun Yijue raised his eyebrows slightly, with no expression on his face, but his tone was calm but mixed with a hint of oppression.
An Shuo nodded quickly and explained in an anxious but sincere tone:
"Really, really! Master, I didn't lie to you. The file was indeed a bit vague, so I made a wrong inference."
After saying this, it carefully observed Jun Yijue's expression, fearing that the other party would be angry.
Seeing that Jun Yijue was not angry, An Shuo breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Master, you must believe me, I really didn't lie to you."
At the end, its tone became more and more anxious, as if it was afraid that Jun Yijue would misunderstand it.
An Shuo felt like crying in his heart.
It didn't know what was going on. As the spirit of the Hall of Challenge, it just couldn't remember its memories of the Blood Mist Forest.
No matter how hard it tried to recall, its mind was blank and it even had a headache.
It knew that it had lost its memory of the Blood Mist Forest.
But it doesn't know the real reason why it lost its memory.
"Where is that file?" Jun Yijue's voice was not loud, but it made An Shuo's heart tighten.
"Master, wait a minute... I'll go find the file right away."
An Shuo stood up hurriedly, and with a flash of his body, his figure disappeared from the spot in an instant.
In the room, Jun Yijue was the only one sitting alone in front of the light curtain. His gaze fell back on Su Chenyin on the light curtain.
In the light curtain, Zi Tan'er continued to speak, her voice filled with sorrow:
"After Ah Mu came back, he first used some secret technique to find my soul and the spirits of our Liuyun Valley people that had not yet dissipated. He brought us to the place where you and Miss Su just met."
"So that's it." Su Chenyin nodded and muttered softly.
I didn’t expect that the high priest Shi Mu was so powerful that he could see and collect souls through secret techniques.
She didn't know what this secret technique was, but she really wanted to see it, and of course it would be best if she could learn it.
Zitaner continued:
"Afterwards, Amu told us some important things. The most important thing was that he told us that he used the art of prophecy to predict that in the future there would be a destined person who would resolve the crisis in the Blood Mist Forest."
"He hopes that we don't worry and asks us to wait here for the destined person to come. The destined person that Ah Mu mentioned is you, Miss Su."
After saying this, Zitan'er tilted her head slightly and looked at Su Chenyin who was walking beside her, her eyes conveying understanding and trust.
Su Chenyin responded with a firm look, indicating that she understood, and motioned Zitan'er to continue.
Zi Tan Er understood and continued, "Then, A-Mu used some powerful secret technique to place our spirits in those fruits."
"This can slow down the speed at which our spirits are invaded by the Blood Mist Forest's resentment. Even if we are severely invaded by the resentment, it can still allow us to maintain a little bit of sanity."
"After finishing all this, he finally..."
At this point, Zitan'er's voice suddenly became choked, as if she was recalling something painful.
"In the end, he sacrificed his life to protect you and the entire Blood Mist Forest?" Su Chenyin frowned.
Upon hearing this, Zitan'er was overwhelmed with grief. She nodded heavily, tears welling up in her eyes.
She suppressed the pain in her heart and said in a sad voice:
"Yes, Amu burned his own life to perform a more powerful secret technique, gathering most of the resentment in the Blood Mist Forest into the Flowing Cloud Valley, which is now the 'Valley of Resentful Souls'."
"After that, Amu sealed the power back in the altar of our Liuyun Valley at the cost of his own soul. Only then was the collapse of the Blood Mist Forest contained. But the curse still remains."
Zi Tan'er's voice was low and hoarse, as if carrying endless sorrow and grief.
She paused, then continued:
"Moreover, Amu also said that he only sealed this power temporarily. It could break the seal at any time. By then, not to mention the entire Blood Mist Forest, even the creatures of the six realms will be devoured by this power."
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, causing Yan Ling and Jiu Lan'er to open their eyes wide, with shock and disbelief on their faces.
