Chapter 771: The Origin of the Curse

A long, long time ago, Qian Ye had become an Empress. During her rule, Qian Ye's ancient kingdom and the surrounding nations were at odds, and wars happened frequently.

One time, Qian Ye personally led a campaign with her troops, intending to launch a surprise attack on the enemy through a primitive forest.

Qian Ye didn't expect to find an ancient town in such a desolate primal forest. And the inhabitants of this ancient town, having lived for generations in the primal forest, knew the area well.

Therefore, Qian Ye promised that if the townsfolk would guide them, they would be handsomely rewarded.

However, much to Qian Ye's surprise, the townsfolk betrayed her and led her army into an enemy ambush. Qian Ye's army suffered heavy casualties, and she was nearly pierced by an arrow.

Qian Ye was furious and ordered the entire town to be slaughtered, not sparing the men, women, the elderly, or even the children.
