Alive!
Someone within the disciples of the Undying Clan came back to life!
This abrupt twist startled everyone, who were scouring the Undying Clanâs mountain gate.
A breathtaking woman with a blank face and odd green glint in her eyes, as unpredictable as a ghost, materialized before everyone. She stared silently at the practitioners, who were still searching around.
Upon entering the mountain gate, everyone hoped to explore as swiftly and extensively as possible. The whole mountain gate of the Undying Clan was mostly shattered ruins, even many Undying Clan corpses had been carelessly discarded in the wreckage.
When the breathtaking woman emerged, it seemed as if the entire area above the mountain gate fell into a deathly silence. A chill and profound aura gradually enveloped it, giving everyone a shudder. They instinctively halted their actions.
âWho⦠who is this woman? Why does she not have any signs of life?â
âCould it be that someone from the Undying Clan has actually returned to life?â
âDonât be ridiculous, how could someone who has been dead for so long come back to life? Even if she could, what difference could she possibly make alone?â
âI suddenly have a bad feeling about this. Her aura⦠itâs chilling. Has anyone of you met her before?â
âNo, never met her. Could it really be that someone from the Undying Clan has actually come back to life?â
âHaha, itâs highly possible that someone from the Undying Clan has come back to life. Otherwise, why would it be named the Undying Clan?â
âCould it be that this woman, angry about us damaging her mountain gate so much that it revived her?â
âIf thatâs the case, she should not be mad at us, she should instead be grateful.â
The group burst out laughing, all looking at the breathtaking woman floating in mid-air. No matter how they mocked, the womanâs eyes remained still, without any emotion.
âHuh?â Suddenly, someone laughed and said, âWhy do I not feel scared of this woman, but rather, find her quite stunning? If you look closely, she is indeed quite beautiful.â
âYour taste is really unique. Youâre even interested in a corpse?â
Upon hearing these words, everyone laughed. Some even shook their heads and continued to search the buildings of the mountain gate for fortune and legacy.
As the group gazed with interest at the woman in mid-air, Elder Qian looked up and his face changed dramatically. He roared, âSilence, all of you!â
The Sha Clan Elderâs face was also one of horror as he looked at the woman in mid-air. His face flickered with uncertainty as he murmured, âSpectral Slave, how could a Spectral Slave exist in this place?â
Hearing the two words, âSpectral Slave,â the faces of all the Ancient tribe people went pale. But the practitioners from Northern Island had puzzled expressions; apparently, they had never heard of the term.
At this very moment, Elder Qian suddenly shouted, âEveryone, get out of here. Now!â
This roar came unexpectedly, startling everyone. Many of the Ancient Spirit Race started to retreat. The practitioners from Northern Island mostly sneered, mocking those who were scrambling to get out. They looked down upon them and disdainfully said, âItâs just a long-dead woman who, due to some fortuitous chance, gained some spiritual intelligence. Sheâs at most a living corpse. What is a Spectral Slave?â
Seeing that most people remained unmoved, Elder Qian momentarily faltered, shook his head, and looked towards the Sha Clan Elder.
The Sha Clan Elder nodded and said in a deep voice, âAll Sha Clan members, get out of here.â
âAll disciples from the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain, please leave this place at once!âJi Yourong commanded next, her face full of uncertainty as well.
More and more practitioners began to retreat from the Undying Clanâs mountain gate. Even among the Northern Island practitioners, some began to suspiciously follow the Ancient tribe out.
Theyâre joking right? Even the Heavenly Snow Holy Domainâs people had left, so why should they stay there? Did they have more confidence than the people from the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain?
Most of those who left had gained some fortune within the mountain gate. But there were also a large number of practitioners who had gained nothing and were unwillingly lingering and observing.
âLetâs go!â After Ji Yourong had left the mountain gate with Elder Qian and the Sha Clan Elder, she turned back to look up, then her face suddenly changed.
The breathtaking woman was gone!
Seeing the change in Ji Yourongâs expression, Elder Qian and the Sha Clan Elder exchanged looks. They hurriedly looked up and also changed color, saying in unison, âBe careful!â
Buzzâ!
An eerie energy burst out from the crowd in all directions. In a blink of an eye, it enveloped the entire mountain gate.
Everyone felt this eerie energy, shuddering involuntarily. All the people inside the mountain gate went pale, unable to utter a word. They began bleeding from their seven orifices, a sight of extreme misery.
There were cries of misery. Some even began to scratch their faces in despair, mutilating themselves into a bloody mess.
Boomâ!
A series of violent shock waves exploded in the mountain gate. Terrifying earth spikes erupted from the ground. Practitioners who could not evade in time were impaled on the spikes.
âWhat⦠what is this?â
The Northern Island practitioners that had followed the Ancient tribe out all watched the hellish scene before them, their faces turning pale with fear.
Elder Qian also took a deep breath and murmured, âIt is indeed a Spectral Slave. This mysterious ability is truly unheard-of.â
âThis ability looks a lot like the Ksitigarbha skill. Could it be that Yang Zhen has returned and he wants to kill everyone?â
âFuck, you woman. Do you speak out of your lower mouth? If Yang Zhen wanted to kill us he could just leave us to die. Why would he need to bring this Spectral Slave?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIf not him, who else? A Spectral Slave⦠how could it know the Ksitigarbha skill?â
At that moment, the Sha Clan Elder said in a deep voice, âThis is not a Ksitigarbha skill but a similar kind of martial skill. The Undying Clan had a profound understanding of Ksitigarbha and the mysteries of the arcane.â
âQuick, letâs save them!â
The dead were already dead, but the living, no matter their faults, shouldnât be left to die senselessly.
Everyone began to strike the weird energy that enveloped the mountain gate. But it proved ineffective. Practitioners who did manage to escape were covered in blood, looking horrifying. After emerging, they collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath. Their eyes were blank.
The smell of blood spread. Many people couldnât control it and started to dry-heave.
Elder Qianâs face changed a few times. He looked at the breathtaking woman in mid-air, gave a bitter smile, and said, âThis Spectral Slave is also a powerhouse in the Divine Transformation Stage!â
âWhat?â The Sha Clan Elderâs face changed drastically, âIf even a Spectral Slave is a powerhouse in the Divine Transformation Stage, how terrifying would her strength have been when she was still alive?â
âWe canât be certain, but a Spectral Slave is a Spectral Slave. It has limited intelligence. It seems that unless we enter the mountain gate of the Undying Clan, she will not attack us.â
âItâs really terrifying. But, where did Yang Zhen go?â
âYang Zhen has long since disappeared. He never stepped inside the mountain gate of the Undying Clan in the first place.â Someone replied bitterly.
Elder Qian and the Sha Clan Elder exchanged a glance. Their faces abruptly changed and they turned to look towards the mountain gate.
The Thousand-Spirit Saintess had returned and instead of going to find Elder Qian and the others, she had gone directly into the mountain gate of the Undying Clan. Now, she was in mid-leap, charging towards the breathtaking Spectral Slave woman.
âNo!â Elder Qianâs face changed dramatically and he roared. He then burst out a raging power and shouted to the Sha Clan Elder, âAssist me!â
âYouâ¦â The Sha Clan Elder took a deep breath and said solemnly, âYou only have a momentâs time!â
