The Witch Clan has six major branches, and naturally there are six kings. In the era when the Witch Emperor disappeared, they were the true rulers of the Witch Clan.
However, apart from the former Dry Witch King who was a genuine Martial King, the other five branch kings were somewhat unworthy of their titles, because their realms were only considered top-tier marquises, far inferior to the Dry Witch King.
Even so, with the elders of each branch, the Wu Clan has nearly twenty kings and marquises. This is the foundation of the former number one among all races. Even after years of decline, it still has the strongest top-tier combat power besides the human race.
Jiang Chengye appeared nonchalant in the face of the white-robed old man, merely shrugging his shoulders.
“Jiang Chengye, Li’er is already on the verge of transformation. Ordinary martial artists can no longer satisfy her appetite.”
Faced with Jiang Chengye's indifference, the Blood Witch King didn't take it to heart. He just glanced at the shadow behind Jiang Chengye and sighed in a complicated tone.
Zhongli was his only daughter, but now she has become the "corpse" that this man carries on his back, and can only live on in another form.
"I know."
Jiang Chengye chuckled, turning his gaze westward as if he could see the other side of the coastline. "The delicious food I prepared for her is there. Even if you don't set off, I won't wait any longer."
"I just received news that King Zhouyi has left the seaside, and there is no longer any barrier between the territory of my Wu tribe and the territory of the human tribe. The Wu Emperor has also begun to awaken. In your human terms, it is 'the east wind has arrived.' When we begin our counterattack, you don't need to worry about not being able to find enough 'feed' to feed Li'er."
The Blood Witch King chuckled, "As long as we devour a sufficient number of top-tier mountain and sea creatures, or if we have the opportunity to hunt down a king, we can make Li'er the most powerful 'mother corpse' in the history of my witch clan!"
"At that time, with your own strength, Cheng Ye, and your perfect partnership with Li'er, you will be the second strongest person in the Witch Clan after the Witch Emperor!"
Hearing the Blood Witch King's words, which were clearly words of praise, Jiang Chengye's face showed a strange smile.
Why wait until then?
"What?"
Upon hearing this, the Blood Witch King was taken aback at first, then seemed to sense something, and his expression changed drastically, "You...you've broken through again?"
"hehe."
Jiang Chengye simply smiled, his figure suddenly disappearing from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already in the sky above the storm-raging sea. Below, the scavengers on countless psionic giant ships had already raised their sails. As Jiang Chengye took the lead in mid-air, the scavengers' ships also set sail one after another, following Jiang Chengye as he broke through the waves.
The Blood Witch King stood there, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty. Suddenly, another figure shrouded in black robes appeared silently beside him.
"Tsk tsk, Jiang Chengye has unknowingly reached this level. He's probably only a hair's breadth away from becoming a Martial King, isn't he?" The black-robed figure sighed as he watched Jiang Chengye walk away.
“Spirit Witch King.” The Blood Witch King greeted the man in black robes, then looked incredulous. “I didn’t expect this either… Even with the added benefit of Li’er’s ‘mother’s corpse,’ Jiang Chengye is only thirty years old. For someone of my Witch Clan, that age is practically that of a toddler who has just learned to walk!”
"After all, he was once the number one genius of the human race, so it's not surprising." The Spirit Witch King's expression turned somewhat strange, as if he had thought of something. "If I'm not mistaken, Jiang Chengye is in such a hurry because he's after Shen Qian, isn't he?"
"That name seems to have become some kind of obsession for him."
The Blood Witch King nodded, then said with a hint of something in his voice, "You sound like you're implying something."
"Hahaha, this is so interesting... You may not know, but just ten minutes ago, Shen Qian killed Zhao Yuanhou in the city at the center of the earth!" The Spirit Witch King didn't keep anyone in suspense.
"What?"
The Blood Witch King knew that the Spirit Witch Clan had been infiltrating the human race for a long time and had a deep understanding of human intelligence, but he was still stunned when he heard this news.
"Tsk tsk, isn't it interesting to see two generations of unparalleled geniuses of the human race clash?"
The Spirit Witch King laughed heartily, "I'd like to see what expressions those human powerhouses in the Council of Kings and Marquises will have then..."
...
Shen Qian is walking alone in a bizarre and fantastical world.
This is the world behind the "door" of the subterranean city. Before sinking, it felt like a broken universe, full of distorted, inverted vortexes composed entirely of luminous dust.
Time seems to stand still here, and there's absolutely no sense of direction.
As for the bronze gate, it has not been seen since the sinking began, and it cannot even be used for the most basic positioning.
He also tried to summon it, and although his own power did not disappear, he could not feel the existence of "Dao Hai" at all. What surprised Shen Qian the most was that even the Word Spirit King's "Words become law" had lost its effect here.
There is not only no "Tao" here, but even the "rules" seem to be nonexistent.
Deathly silence and chaos seem to be the only colors here.
As he frowned, the three Chaos Stones he had been holding in his hand suddenly trembled.
With a sudden thought, Shen Qian released his hand, and the three Chaos Stones immediately floated up and then flew away in a certain direction with a "whoosh".
Finally receiving a hint, Chen Qian quickly followed.
After flying for an unknown amount of time, the three Chaos Stones suddenly stopped. Shen Qian looked down and saw a huge palace appear out of nowhere in the chaotic space.
Each pillar in this palace is a thousand feet tall. Although the architectural style is very similar to that of humans, it doesn't look like a place for humans to live in at all.
