Chapter 1469: Chapter 1463: Shadows of Youth

Are you kidding me? Just hearing the word "unclean" recently makes me feel uneasy.

Especially since the second elder said he just encountered a ghost, Tu Suxuan thought that thing was very ominous, so it’s best to avoid it.

Besides, he’s been to the Kutuo River before...

As someone from Wangjing, Tu Suxuan is well aware of the origin of the Kutuo River.

Wangjing, before the establishment of Fuzhou, was a barren land.

A large number of barbarian clans and beasts resided here.

The Fuzhou Emperor launched multiple attacks on this place to build a nation.

But these barbarian clans and beasts were very formidable, and some were even adept in spirit art.

They appeared and disappeared unpredictably and attacked many soldiers and innocent civilians.

Eventually, with the help of the Mainland Army, the previous Emperor annihilated them. The last battle took place at the underground dark river, the Kutuo River.

That battle was a bloodbath, where countless Fuzhou Army and barbarian beasts fought fiercely.

Originally the underground river was nearly dry, but after that battle, the bodies piled up like mountains, and the rivers ran with blood, filling the underground river with blood.

There were too many bodies to distinguish, so the Immortal Emperor could only hastily erect a mass grave monument at the entrance of the Kutuo River to commemorate the spirits of the sacrificed Fuzhou soldiers.

But the Kutuo River has not been peaceful ever since.

That area, clearly a sealed underground dark river, has wind howling year after year, with the sounds of crying and howling never ceasing.

Brave people who ventured in either got scared out of their wits, or returned insane, only to die soon after.

The reason Tu Suxuan knows is because when he and Prince Yuan just became mercenaries and were young and ignorant, they bravely went to the Kutuo River.

But as soon as the two got to the entrance of the Kutuo River, they felt their legs trembling and awkwardly rolled back.

The team of mercenaries who dared to enter with them mocked them before going into the Kutuo River.

But after they went in, they never came out again, alive or dead, no trace has been seen to this day.

Although Tu Suxuan and Prince Yuan didn’t go deep inside, they both fell seriously ill after returning and it took them a long time to recover.

So as soon as he heard that the Spiritual Wisdom Grass was gathered from the Kutuo River, Tu Suxuan turned around and left without saying a word.

That was simply the shadow of his youth.

After walking a few steps, he saw the entrance of the Daffodil Chamber of Commerce in a flurry.

"Make way, make way!"

A few brawny-looking men rushed in.

One of them was carrying a severely injured and unconscious man on his back.

Manager Huang’s face changed drastically.

"Manager Huang, the mission was a mess."

The few brawny men were surging with blood energy, their eyes sharp like torches, especially the one carried on the back; his muscles bulged like small hills, with veins visible on the surface of his skin.

Clearly, he was an expert who had broken through to the Blood Realm.

Xin Lin and Tu Suxuan were about to leave, but seeing this scene, they stopped in their tracks.

"They are members of Ci Hu, a silver mercenary group, goodness, isn’t that their leader, Hu Jie? An expert of the Blood Realm Eight Meridians, how did he end up in such a state?"

Tu Suxuan was well acquainted with all the notable mercenary groups in Wangjing City.

Yet even so, Tu Suxuan didn’t intend to linger any longer. Dragging Xin Lin, he intended to leave, fearing that Xin Lin might act impulsively and cause some trouble.
