Chapter 108: The Blooming Curse of Youth
“Master Xu?” Yun Jiao froze, recognizing the voice coming through the communication talisman.
“What happened at the Celestial Masters Hall?”
“No—it isn’t the Hall,” Xu said grimly. “It’s the Yu family of West City. Their patriarch has been struck by the Blooming Curse!”
“The Blooming Curse?!”
The moment he heard the words, Wenqing blurted out in shock.
“What?” Only the old man looked confused. “What’s that supposed to mean?”
“As the saying goes—youth fades, beauty withers,” Wenqing said, his brows furrowed in concern. “The Blooming Curse is a demonic incantation that drains a person’s life force and vitality.
Anyone afflicted will wither within three days, aging at an unnatural rate until their spirit collapses and their body dies. It’s… a vile, heaven-defying curse.”
He didn’t mention the worst part—that the curse originated not from the mortal world, but from the Underworld itself.
