Chapter 1009: Cemetery

“It’s me.” Yu Su nodded. “What’s the matter?”
Guan Chen said coldly, “I’m here to remind you that today is the last day. If you haven’t found the source of the curse, you’ll be sent down the mountain. Mount Zhongnan isn’t a place for you to travel around. Do you understand?”
Yu Su snorted coldly. “One day it is.”
After Guan Chen finished speaking, she turned to look at Fu Yang with a smile. “Brother Fu Yang, have fun today. If you still want to stay here, just let me know, I’ll immediately get someone to prepare a room for you.”
“Uh… Okay,” Fu Yang agreed.
Guan Chen looked at them deeply, then looked in the direction of the back mountain before turning around and leaving.
Yu Su’s eyes turned slightly cold as she looked at Steward Mo. “I want to enter the back mountain.”
“Oh dear, Ms. Yu, the back mountain is full of criminals. If you go in there, they might hurt you. That place is off-limits to outsiders. I really don’t have the authority to let you in.” Mo Ting wiped the cold sweat on his head and refused. He really couldn’t make the decision.
Yu Su’s eyes darted around. “Since we can’t enter the back mountain, can you bring me to the graveyard at the back mountain to take a look? I heard that the graveyard at the back mountain is very big. Perhaps the source of the curse is over there.”
“This…” Steward Mo thought for a moment and gritted his teeth. “Alright.”
Strictly speaking, that huge graveyard did not belong to the back mountain. Instead, it was a separate place. When the people in the back mountain died, they found a pit to bury them. Over time, it became a graveyard.
Mo Ting led the few of them forward. After walking for about an hour, they arrived at an area with a barrier. It was a virtual door. Mo Ting nodded at the person guarding the barrier before letting them in.
Yu Su led the way forward and Mo Ting shook his head. Yu Su was really not afraid. Although it was daytime, this was a graveyard and there were so many people buried here. The resentment was very strong.
After walking for more than ten minutes, Yu Su smelled a familiar smell of blood. She stood on a flat ground and said to Mo Ting, “Has a new person passed away in the back mountain recently?”
“No.” Mo Ting thought about it carefully. As the chief steward, he was very strict with the management of the people in the back mountain. After all, those people with demonic energy in the back mountain could not be released.
“Then why is there a new grave here? There’s also a male corpse lying in it. He died less than three days ago,” Yu Su said calmly as she looked into the distance.
Mo Ting was shocked. “What? What did you say? It’s impossible. The enchantment of the cemetery hasn’t been opened for a week. No one has transported the corpses in. Are you joking?” He couldn’t believe it.
“Heh, won’t we know when we dig it out?” Yu Su waved her hand and threw out a Ground Clearing Talisman from her pocket. The talisman was thrown into the air and instantly burrowed into the ground like a small shovel, digging out the soil in the ground.
“Stop, stop!” Mo Ting hurriedly stopped her. “Ms. Yu, who allowed you to dig the grave privately? You’re too bold. Perhaps you smelled wrongly. Stop!” If the elders found out about this, he would definitely be punished.
“Wait a moment.” Yu Su did not listen at all and continued to increase the power of the talisman.
Mo Ting pulled a long face. “Ms. Yu, if you don’t stop, I’m going to ask you out.”
“Here, go take a look at that corpse. It’s still bleeding!” Yu Su smiled and pointed at the corpse that had been dug out. She said calmly, “I want to ask Mount Zhongnan. Is this how you disregard human lives?”
“Impossible!” Mo Ting ran over quickly and looked at the person in the pit. He was about to faint.
That person… that person was actually the merchant who came up the mountain this time.
“How could this be!” Mo Ting’s body swayed. He squatted by the pit and frowned. “I clearly arranged for this person to be sent down the mountain. How could he die on Mount Zhongnan and be buried in the cemetery? There must be something wrong.”
“There’s a mole on Mount Zhongnan, and it’s not just one.” Yu Su’s voice was calm and her expression was calm.
Mo Ting calmed down for a while before standing up and bowing to Yu Su. “Thank you for your guidance, Ms. Yu. I wonder if the source of the curse is also here?” He finally understood that this curse was not simple.
“The source of the curse…” After Yu Su finished speaking, she looked at the sky above the cemetery and saw that the air was filled with black fog. Countless vengeful spirits were looking at them quietly from the sky. The expressions of those vengeful spirits were very terrifying.
