Refining the Mountains and Rivers

at lasted tens of thousands of years and through 17 generations of Sect Masters…if they didn’t hear this with their own ears, no one would have believed it.
But since all of this came from Hu Fu’s own lips and in today’s situation, they knew he was speaking the truth.

Moonkeep Tower…Moonkeep Tower…!

Who would have imagined that the most low-key of the seven great sects and the one with the least interference had actually controlled the Hidden Fog Sect since tens of thousands of years ago.

Now that everyone knew the truth, when they carefully sifted through their memories, they realized that in all these years the Hidden Fog Sect had never taken the initiative to create conflict with Moonkeep Tower.
Even if conflicts occurred, there had always been a side that decided to make concessions and calm down the situation.

All of these coincidences became the solid proof that confirmed this!

A Hidden Fog Sect Elder cried, tears falling down his cheeks.
“Sect Master, if this was true, why didn’t you tell us? If there is a flaw in our inherited techniques, we can simply abandon them.
Why should 16 previous generations of Sect Masters have had to be suppressed so severely?”

Hu Fu shook his head.
“It’s useless.
If we stop cultivating our inherited techniques, the hidden power of the curse will erupt and the entire Hidden Fog Sect will be destroyed.
So even if I know that our inheritance techniques are the source of the curse, we can only continue cultivating them.

“But after today, this curse will be wiped out.
The future generations of our Hidden Fog Sect will no longer be the slaves of others.”

“Sect Master, I was unfair to you!”

“I’ve offended Sect Master so many times before, I ask that you forgive me!”

“We were wrong!”

Hu Fu took a deep breath.
“The past is in the past.” He looked at all the Hidden Fog sect cultivators and said, “I hope that you will all forever remember what happened today.
Today is when the Hidden Fog Sect obtains a new life.
Moreover, you all need to firmly remember that the reason our Hidden Fog Sect can obtain a new start is all thanks to Mister Ning Qin helping us.
Without mister, we would still be slaves struggling in our chains.
Perhaps we would never have the chance to free ourselves!”

He turned around and deeply bowed.
“The Hidden Fog Sect will never forget the great graciousness that mister has given us.
As long as mister has any requests in the future, the Hidden Fog Sect will pass through water and fire to accomplish them!”

Flap –

Flap –

The Hidden Fog Sect cultivators all bowed together.
“We will never forget mister’s great graciousness!”

Qin Yu silently shook his head.
Although this Hu Fu fellow seemed as if he was repaying a debt of gratitude, the truth was that he was thinking of every possible means to protect the Hidden Fog Sect.

Whatever.
Since Hu Fu had sacrificed his lifespan for him and because of all the hardships the Hidden Fog Sect had suffered, he wouldn’t haggle with him over this.

Qin Yu nodded and said, “If I have need of anything in the future, I will ask for it.”

Hu Fu was overjoyed.
Gratitude flooded his eyes.
“Thank you mister!”

Although it seemed that the Hidden Fog Sect would have to shoulder a great burden from now on, the truth was that with mister’s strength, how could he ever need their help?

But after saying these words, there was a sense of closeness between the Hidden Fog Sect and mister.
It was like holding onto a powerful guardian amulet!

The voice of the arena continued to sound out.
“Moonkeep Tower.
Are you willing to dissolve the curse placed upon the Hidden Fog Sect?”

The Moonkeep Tower Master bowed.
“I respectfully follow your will.”

She lifted a hand.
Light surged in her palms and a black stone tablet appeared.

The surface of the black tablet had countless tadpole-like runes wandering on it as it emitted a pitch black halo of light.

With just a glance, Hu Fu could determine that this stone tablet was the source of the hidden curse power that haunted the Hidden Fog Sect’s cultivation methods.

This was a heart-wrenching feeling of being completely controlled by others.
There was no way he would mistake it!

Although he didn’t believe that Moonkeep Tower would give up so easily, the truth was placed in front of him.
Perhaps it was because they feared the will of the arena.
The seven great sects all had a clear understanding of its strength.

The Moonkeep Tower Master formed a fist and smashed down.
The black stone tablet shattered, turning into countless pieces that turned into powder in the air.

The Moonkeep Tower Master lifted a hand.
The black stone tablet collapsed further.
It tumbled onto the ground and faded away in the wind.

The Hidden Fog Sect cultivators felt their hearts loosen and relax.
It was like someone had lifted invisible chains from their bodies.

It was at this moment that everyone finally believed.
The existence of the curse was actually true!

They thought back to how they were all puppets that were to be controlled, and how even their own life and death wasn’t in their hands.
A cold sweat drenched their bodies.
After the initial panic and horror disappeared, all that was left was overwhelming anger.

Eyes ruthlessly looked at the Moonkeep Tower Master.
All of the Hidden Fog Sect cultivators knew that from this point on, this woman was their eternal nemesis.

Enslaved for tens of thousands of years…

This was a great enmity, one that would only end when one side died!
