979: C979 Evil Spirits' Sacrifice

C979 Evil Spirits' Sacrifice

On the surface of the stone door was engraved a dense cluster of ancient characters. Although Zhou Yan was proficient in inscription, he did not recognize these ancient characters, nor did he know what they were written about.

"Darling, I don't know these characters either." Diaochan frowned slightly.

Ye Xun opened his mouth and said, "These words are ancient characters that record a part of history. This part of history should be the funeral of an imperial family in the ancient times."

"Oh?"

Zhou Yan was a little surprised.

"In the ancient years, there was a rumor that the Ancient Emperor's ability came from the evil land, and the so-called evil land is the place where the evil is buried. This Ancient Emperor must have killed an evil god and obtained his evil power, thus becoming an extremely powerful expert."

"So that's how it is." Zhou Yan came to a sudden realization.

He agreed with this statement. After all, there were indeed many evil gods in the ancient era. Some of these evil gods were the ancestors of the Human Clan, and some of them were the experts of other races.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Ye Xun exclaimed in surprise and looked towards the side of the stone door.

"Darling, there seems to be a stone door here." Diaochan noticed Ye Xun's actions and followed his gaze.

The stone door was tightly shut, and its surface was covered in mottled marks of time that seemed to have been around for a long time.

"Could it be that this is a tunnel?"

Zhou Yan's eyes flashed. "Let's go in and take a look."

"Yes."

Diaochan followed beside Zhou Yan. The two of them pushed open the stone door and slowly opened it. What entered their eyes was a deep cave.

Inside the cave, it was pitch black, with only a few luminous pearls illuminating it.

At the end of the cave, there was a skeleton sitting cross-legged. Beside him, there was a broken sword that was stabbed into the sky. The blade of the sword pierced straight into the sky, as if it wanted to pierce through the void and pierce through the universe.

"The shed skin of this expert seems to be very powerful ..."

Zhou Yan's heart beat faster, and he felt excited.

This expert's strength was extremely strong, and he was not any weaker than the Ghost Immortal from before.

"This expert might be a true Martial Marquis level expert, or even a Great Saint."

Zhou Yan thought in his heart. This expert's body was coiled around like a dragon and snake, which showed how majestic he was when he was alive.

Zhou Yan walked closer and observed the shed skin of this expert. He immediately felt a majestic pressure coming towards him.

This expert's physical body was already dead, but the only bones left were still emitting a terrifying aura, like an abyss or an ocean.

However, Zhou Yan was not affected by the pressure. He activated all the strength in his body to resist.

Crack!

Suddenly, the skeleton opened its eyes and shot out two terrifying beams of light, as if they could destroy everything.

"Retreat!"

Zhou Yan shouted in a low voice and quickly retreated with Diaochan.

"Roar ..."

At the same time, the surrounding corpse soldiers also let out a hoarse roar.

"Darling, this shed skin seems to have come alive?" Diaochan said in surprise.

"Yes." Zhou Yan was silent for a moment before saying: "This shed skin is the sacrifice for those evil spirits."

"A sacrifice?" Anger surfaced on Diaochan's beautiful face: "Those evil spirit priests are simply insane, to actually use living people as sacrifices!"

"No! These Corpse Soldiers don't seem to be ordinary soldiers."

Zhou Yan carefully observed these Corpse Soldiers and found that although they looked like soldiers, they did not have any aura. It was as if they were mere walking corpses.

There was only one explanation for this situation, and that was that these Corpse Soldiers were controlled by evil spirits!

Under such circumstances, there was more than one Evil Spirit Worshipper.

"Darling, should we leave first?" Diaochan's beautiful face revealed a flustered expression. She knew that since they had encountered these Evil Spirit Worshippers, it would be a little difficult for them to leave safely.

"Don't worry, I'm here." Zhou Yan patted Diaochan's jade arm, and then walked towards the huge skeleton.

"Tsk tsk, another human has intruded into my domain. This is really strange. All these years, anyone who has entered this place has become my food. Tsk tsk ..."

The eyes of the skeleton suddenly opened as a sinister and strange laughter was emitted. Strands of dark light erupted from it. It caused one's heart to palpitate. It was as though a demon king had awoken, causing one's heart to tremble.

"Hmph!"

Zhou Yan let out a cold snort, extended his palm, and punched out in the air. With a loud bang, the skeleton's eyes were completely shattered.

"Aooo ..."

The shed skin of this expert suffered a heavy blow and let out a miserable scream. Blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were filled with hatred.

"You're courting death!"

The skeleton roared. He waved his right hand and in an instant, a powerful gust of wind swept across the entire tomb.

Rumble!

The walls around the tomb were unable to withstand the shock wave and exploded, sending rocks flying everywhere.

"What a terrifying attack!"

Zhou Yan's pupils contracted.

"Darling, listen! There seems to be a sound..."

Right at this moment, Diaochan suddenly heard a strange sound.

Zhou Yan also felt that the sound seemed to come from the soles of his feet.

"This is..."

Suddenly, Zhou Yan's eyes swept across the ground and widened.

Under his feet, there were long bones that were at least three meters long. He roughly estimated that there were at least five thousand of them.

Among these bones, there were also many corpses. These corpses were mostly of old people, women, and children.

Furthermore, the clothes on their bodies were actually still intact.

"Darling, were they all captured by those evil spirit priests?" Diaochan exclaimed.1

"That's right."

Zhou Yan nodded his head and said: "It seems that the strength of this Evil Spirit Worshipper is quite terrifying. He can actually refine such a powerful puppet army. He must be one of the most outstanding ones among the Evil Spirit Worshippers."

"The Evil Spirit Worshipper is indeed cruel." Diaochan gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "However, I will definitely not let them go."

"Madam, let's hurry up and leave. I suspect that this expert is very likely to be the emperor of the Evil Spirit Worshippers, and his strength is comparable to that of a Half-Saint!"

Zhou Yan's expression was solemn as he said: "These Evil Spirit Worshippers are best at bewitching people's hearts and driving them crazy. Let's leave quickly so that we won't get entangled with them."

"Yes." Diaochan nodded, but just as she was about to turn around and leave, her gaze suddenly fell on a jade pendant.

"Darling, there's something there." Diaochan pointed at the jade pendant and said.

That jade pendant was a dark green color, and its carving skills were excellent. It was crystal clear and suffused with a faint green color. With a single glance, one could tell that it was priceless.

This was a treasure!

Zhou Yan stared at the jade pendant, and with a flash of his eyes, with a thought, several rays of purple-gold light enveloped the jade pendant. After that, the jade pendant turned into a ray of light and flew into his hand.

"This jade pendant should be the personal item of that expert. No matter what, I have finally obtained something."
