Unparalleled After Ten Consecutive Draws

Ye Yunluo looked at Chu Kuangren in shock. "You broke the curse?"

Her words verified the existence of the curse, and it caused an uproar among her tribesmen.

"Tribe Leader, what is this about? Why did you lie to us?"

"Why are we cursed? Why did you keep it from us? Do you have any idea how we suffered all these years?"

"We're hideous, and we've always been the joke of other tribes. Yokai can transform, but we can't! We are hideous for life!"

"Yeah! If the women were the same, we'd be fine, but they are all beautiful! When do we men have a say in this?"

The tumultuous crowd surrounded Ye Yunluo, asking her for an explanation.

Ye Yunluo sighed and said, "It's not that I want to keep it from all of you. In fact, there's a reason behind this."

Then, she started to talk about the history of the Yasha Tribe.

Once upon a time, the Yasha Tribe was one of the most well-known tribes in the Underworld. Aside from their strong foundations, they were also known for their handsome and beautiful looks.

Countless Underworld cultivators dreamt of having a yasha lady as their Daoist partner, and the male yashas became the standard for the female ghosts' choice of husband.

However, it all changed when an ancient tabooed existence heard of the Yasha Tribe's outstanding looks.

They came to ask for one hundred thousand True Immortal male yashas to be their servants.

One hundred thousand True Immortal male yashas?

The Yasha Tribe was not a big tribe, to begin with. Hence, if they handed over one hundred thousand male yashas of True Immortal cultivation, the female yashas would not be able to reproduce to maintain the bloodline.

It would also cause the Yasha Tribe to lose their status and position in the Underworld.

The yasha king back then refused that request, but in turn, it angered that particular existence.

Out of anger, that existence cast a curse on the male yashas.

Since then, the female yashas remained beautiful and youthful, but the male yashas were all transformed into hideous and ferocious monsters.

Due to the curse, the Yasha Tribe's reputation declined.

"Many of our great ones tried to break the curse, but they all failed without an exception. The curse is too strong, so in order to keep the tribe together and avoid unnecessary panic, the ancestors kept it a secret.

"Henceforth, the male yashas assumed they were ugly in nature and wouldn't hold a grudge about being cursed, hence lowering the odds of causing unwanted conflicts," Ye Yunluo said.

If the male yashas knew about the curse, they would divert their grudge toward the yasha king or even the female yashas.

However, why only the males and not the females?

Ye Yunluo looked at Chu Kuangren. "No one has been able to break the curse for many years. How did you do it?"

Everyone looked at Chu Kuangren.

"It's just a curse. How difficult could it be?" Chu Kuangren said indifferently as he put the Cursebreaker Sword away.

'Can it be that sword?' Ye Yunluo pondered. She even thought of snatching the sword, but it only lingered in her mind for a moment.

Chu Kuangren possessed astonishing strength that could even wipe out the powerful Zhong clan.

The risk of snatching the sword was too great.

If she decided to snatch the sword, her tribe might be wiped out before she could break the curse.

"If the Ghost Emperor can break the curse, why don't we make a deal?" Ye Yunluo suggested.

"Help us to break the curse, and I will help you to acquire Emperor Qin's items. How does that sound?"

"Breaking the curse isn't easy, and it can't be done within a day or two. Besides, given my current strength, I can only suppress it but not break it completely. In order to break it completely, I have to be stronger," Chu Kuangren said after some serious consideration.

It was a lie. He had refined the Cursebreaker Sword along the way, and on top of his Gilded Immortal cultivation base, breaking the curse of the Yasha Tribe was not a difficult task.

However, he lied because he had his eye on the Yasha Tribe.

Fengdu was still far behind the other two Underworld cities in terms of resources and combat power, so he had to further strengthen Fengdu's capabilities.

It was also the reason why he decided to go look for Emperor Qin's Underworld Terracotta Army.

As for the Yasha Tribe, they were also a powerful force. If they could work under his command, it would be a huge boost to Fengdu.

However, the yasha's fierceness and resolution remained a huge problem. Even the other two Underworld Cities failed to take them in.

To Chu Kuangren, since he has a way to break the curse, it would not be ridiculously difficult to take them under his command. In fact, it was just a matter of time.

If he broke all the curses, he would lose his advantage in taking them in.

He wanted to take his time to gain trust, build a reputation among the tribe, and ultimately win their favor.

Ye Yunluo had no idea what Chu Kuangren was thinking. The only thing she knew was that the great ones of the Yasha Tribe spent countless efforts to try and break the curse, but all efforts fell short.

It clearly stated how tough the curse was. Hence, even if Chu Kuangren claimed that he could not break it all at once, it sounded reasonable to her.

Besides, now that there was hope to break the curse, it was up to her to make the decision.

"Leave us. I have something to discuss with the Ghost Emperor," Ye Yunluo said.

The other yashas exchanged a quick look before they left, leaving Chu Kuangren, Bai Mei, and Ye Yunluo alone.

"Ghost Emperor, I believe you have your thoughts. You can speak your mind," Ye Yunluo said.

"It's simple. Help me get Emperor Qin's Underworld Terracotta Army, and I will help you break the curse, but not now. If you are okay with it, you can follow me back to Fengdu, settle down there, and wait for me to get stronger. I promise I will break the curse on the male yashas."

Ye Yunluo finally understood Chu Kuangren's intention.

The Yasha Tribe had remained neutral all these years, but the time for them to take sides had come.

It was not just about breaking the curse anymore because the entire tribe's future was at stake. Once she picked the wrong side, the history of the tribe would end with her generation.

"This is a serious matter, and I need time to consider. Why don't I bring you to the Underworld Terracotta Army first?" Ye Yunluo said after some consideration.

She wanted to use that chance to test Chu Kuangren's strength and see if he was a worthy leader for the tribe to follow.

'My tribe has tried for many years to access Emperor Qin's Underworld Terracotta Army, but we have made no progress. If you can access it and then break the curse, we'll be glad to be your followers,' Ye Yunluo thought.

Outside, the male yasha who had his curse broken enjoyed his newly gained body.

The other yashas surrounded him with curiosity, looking at his handsome looks.

"Are you still a yasha?"

"Yeah. He still has the bloodline and the energy presence of a yasha, but his looks have changed."

"This is what a yasha should look like!"

"So, we men are handsome as well?"

Countless male yashas were intrigued as hope filled their minds.

Even the female yashas were happy for them.

If the male yashas reverted to their better-looking selves, they too would be delighted because they could benefit from it.
