The sky had darkened again at some point.
There seemed to be an eerie wind blowing from afar, mixed with some chilling whispers.
After the female corpse on Ulan's back appeared, the scene completely changed.
This was the first time Shen Qian had witnessed such a method, and perhaps it was also the first time for the system itself.
The fact that the system didn't rush to take action after going live is extremely rare for a system that always prioritizes efficiency.
This only means that the system is still calculating or evaluating something.
"I didn't know you had this kind of hobby."
The system remained expressionless, and it was Chen Qian who spoke, somewhat embarrassed.
Looking at the female corpse on Ulan's back always gave him some unpleasant associations, such as several horror movies that had become a childhood trauma for him and a youth trauma.
Don't ask if even warriors of the mountains and seas are afraid.
He might be able to slap a Sadako to death right now, but if he actually met Sadako, he would still get scared.
Fortunately, the book "Hun Yuan Lian Shen Pian" that Lao Gao gave him often used various ghost stories to temper his spirit, and now Chen Qian's courage has at least made some slight progress.
At least he could barely look at the bizarre thing hanging on Ulan's back.
"Sink ahead, be careful!"
At this moment, Youling, who had been hiding in the distance, ran back at some point. She also saw the female corpse on Wulan's back and anxiously shouted from behind Shen Qian, "He is the rarest corpse carrier among the witch clan!"
What is a corpse carrier?
Shen Qian still felt a little confused when he heard this word.
The Witch Clan may be the most powerful race in this era, but they are difficult to encounter in the modern martial arts society. The only one Shen Qian had direct contact with was the Spirit Witch Clan.
But that was just one branch of the witch clan.
There's also Nailoli, whom I encountered while doing a slash-and-burn team mission, but she seems to be a female ghost born from a curse, and she's different from the Ulan in front of me.
The methods of the Witch Clan have always been bizarre, and this corpse carrier was described by Youling as "the rarest," or in other words, even more bizarre than bizarre.
"The four branches of the Witch Clan have hundreds of cultivation techniques. The outside world has always believed that Ulan is just a traditional sorcerer, but everyone has been deceived by him!"
Youling spoke very quickly, telling Shenqian everything she knew in one go.
"The Corpse Carrier's greatest reliance is the 'Mother Corpse' on his body. He sacrifices his own lifespan to communicate between Yin and Yang, nourishing himself with endless flesh and blood. Thirty percent of all the spiritual energy he gains through cultivation is also absorbed by the Mother Corpse. Usually, the Mother Corpse's strength is several times that of the Corpse Carrier!"
"Several times?"
A sense of gravity also rose in Shen Qian's heart.
The Nine Heavens of Mountains and Seas also have varying levels of strength.
In Shen Qian's eyes, people like Si Zayin were merely skilled in cultivation, the weakest among the nine heavens of the mountain and sea, but Wulan was definitely not like that.
The triple Heavenly Gate and Ulan's curses brought an immense sense of oppression to Shen Qian.
If the female corpse on Ulan's back is several times stronger than him, then that would be a bit outrageous.
Ulan did not stop Youling. Only after Youling finished speaking did he sigh softly and say, "Most of it is correct, but there is one thing you are wrong about. The spiritual energy I cultivated was not absorbed by 30%... but by 70%!"
As Ulan finished speaking, his face suddenly showed great pain. His body straightened and his limbs trembled. The red and blue light in his eyes quickly alternated. Then Ulan lowered his head, as if he had fallen into silence.
His body slowly turned, so that he was facing away from Shenqian, while the female corpse was facing Shenqian.
Suddenly, the long hair that had been covering the female corpse's face flew up, and at the same time, the female corpse, whose face was now exposed, opened her eyes.
To Shen Qian's relief, the female corpse's features were relatively normal, even quite beautiful, except that her cheeks were covered with talismans, which ruined her original beauty.
The only strange thing was those eyes, which had no whites and were completely covered in black. Just one glance at them seemed to suck your soul in.
"Sink forward, run! She is a true god of the Witch Clan who fell ten years ago. I saw my father guiding her remnant soul in the Netherworld. You are no match for her!"
Hearing Youling's sudden, shrill cry, Shen Qian was startled.
True God?
This means that the female corpse was a genuine queen or noblewoman in life!
What about now?
The question that had just arisen before the sinking was immediately answered.
Shen Qian's figure suddenly shifted three zhang to the side, and right where he had been standing, space suddenly shattered, extending out in all sorts of hideous spatial cracks.
Shen Qian, who was inside, broke out in a cold sweat. It wasn't so much the destructive power of the spatial shattering that was so great, but rather...
Without any warning.
Without any fluctuation of elemental power or gathering of spiritual energy, the space shattered completely in the blink of an eye.
If it weren't for the system controlling him, but rather Chen Qian himself, he would likely have been severely injured, if not killed, by that deadly attack that was even more abrupt than a sneak attack.
...
Do you know what the biggest difference is between kings and nobles and mountains and seas?
Shen Qian suddenly remembered that on the hotel rooftop, before they entered the Nine Heavens Battlefield, after discussing the Nine Heavens War that night, the two of them sat facing each other drinking and chatting. During their conversation, Shi Dingyan asked him a question.
Although Shen Qian was not even a mountain or sea level official at that time, he had already offended two top-level kings and nobles.
Even now, as I recall the past, I can still remember the hidden worry beneath Shi Dingyan's calm eyes; every detail is still vivid in my mind.
What is it?
Shen Qian wasn't really sure about this issue.
In fact, at that time he was still somewhat confused about the distinction between mountains and seas, let alone studying the differences between kings and nobles.
