Summer in Pengcheng is drawing to a close, and the weather is still very hot just after the end of the dog days. However, the world below the Black Cliff remains the same, with no obvious distinction between the four seasons.
Laijiazhuang, hidden in a corner of the wilderness, lives quietly under the cover of an illusion. No people or animals care about this forgotten and boundless wilderness.
On the wasteland, a black dot quickly grew larger, and a dark flying boat hovered in the air. Nearly a hundred figures jumped down from the flying boat with a "whoosh".
The leading beauty raised her slender hand, and the jade token in her hand touched the void. An invisible ripple spread out, and a crack appeared in the wasteland in an instant.
In the distance, a waterfall fell from the sky, like a pure silk thread hanging between the cliffs. It was no different from the desolate place when I left. At this time, Laijiazhuang was covered with green, and the green all over the mountains and fields was fascinating.
Men and women were working hard in the fields in twos and threes. The houses in the settlement were of different heights and were scattered in an orderly manner. Smoke was rising from the houses, and a long-lost warmth suddenly penetrated the hearts of Feng Fei and others through the smoke.
When has there ever been such a scene under the Black Cliff?
Have the former miners ever imagined that they would live such a life?
And these were all given by Lai Siyu!
Seeing a group of people coming in from outside the formation, everyone working in the fields stopped their work and saluted.
"Senior Mengqin! Boss!" Tianlang came forward with a group of people.
"Where is Chen Yunfeng?" Meng Qin asked.
"Fellow Daoist Chen is in seclusion to build his foundation." Tianlang and others flashed to the side of Mengqin and others and walked towards the cave.
"Something has happened in Black Cliff City. No one here is allowed to enter or leave Laijiazhuang!"
What happened in Black Cliff City?
Seeing Meng Qin's solemn expression, Tianlang and the others' expressions changed, "Then... the owner of the manor..."
"The girl is not in Black Cliff City, but in Aquarius Canyon. There's no point in you worrying about her right now..."
Aquarius Canyon?
Why did the owner of the manor go to Aquarius Canyon?
Although everyone had a lot of questions, Mengqin didn't say anything and no one dared to ask.
"Give orders to strengthen patrols... prepare for war"...
After Meng Qin threw down these words, she returned to her own cave residence. Feng Fei and others also received the order and went down to make arrangements.
"Corpse Emperor Sect..." Meng Qin's expression in the cave was solemn, "It's a pity that I can't come to the main body..." Thinking of the crimson sky of Heiya City, Meng Qin's beautiful eyes revealed deep worry.
In Heiya City, the originally gray sky was gradually emitting a rich red color. Most of the cultivators in the city were in an excited state. Since this color appeared in the sky, their cultivation had inexplicably increased.
However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that these people whose cultivation suddenly increased were all from the three major families, which made the three major families even more intimidating in Heiya City.
Four fourth-level monsters roamed outside the city all day long. Fortunately, Heiya City had the formation left by high-level cultivators in the early years, otherwise the people of the three major families would not be able to be proud at all. Although their cultivation had increased rapidly, it was still not enough to fill the teeth of the fourth-level monsters.
Perhaps the monsters felt bored that day and retreated.
Beneath the destroyed altar of the Xiao family's old house, the endless zombies were all ready to move, with red light flashing in their lifeless eyes.
In the center of the zombie group, two coffins lay quietly. Gongsun Yu was sitting naked in front of the coffins. His skin was eerily pale and his whole body emitted a strange green fluorescence.
Lumps were wriggling on his body, and his originally handsome face became hideous. Big drops of sweat dripped from the tip of his nose, and his long black hair was already soaked.
Wisps of black air seeped out from the two pitch-black, rotten coffins, converging into two twisted black worms that drilled into his nostrils. The scattered black smoke on the way also attached to his skin and seeped into his pores.
“Ah… roar…”
"roar……"
Suddenly, countless zombies all knelt down and worshipped, and the object of their worship was exactly where Gongsun Yu was.
Gongsun Yu had already woken up, his veins bulging out, like he was covered in insects. His handsome face had vanished, replaced by crimson eyes and a face distorted with protruding veins.
"Why is this happening?" Gongsun Yu muttered to himself, but as soon as he spoke, he was frightened by his own voice. Where did this broken voice come from?
"The force you endured exceeded your body's limit, so you ended up like this. There's nothing you can do about it, you're just too weak. However, you'll soon evolve into a Corpse King, and then you'll be able to get rid of your current state... hehe..."
The dark shadow hidden in Gongsun Yu's sea of consciousness laughed.
"What? Corpse King?" Gongsun Yu asked in surprise.
"Of course, your current strength is already the same as that of a human cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage. A Nascent Soul cultivator of the same level would not be your opponent at all."
"I didn't ask you this. What does it mean to evolve into a corpse king? What am I now?" Gongsun Yu interrupted him impatiently and asked anxiously.
"Hmph! Someone who's absorbed so much death energy can't be human! How dare you open the magic box, but not face the consequences? In this respect, you're no match for your master, Tiezhong. He knew the outcome, but still chose this path. Unfortunately, he died before he even opened his head...
Boy, nothing in this world is perfect. Since you've chosen absolute power, be prepared to bear the consequences! Now, you're just a little uglier, and you won't be able to have a son for the rest of your life. But otherwise, you're much better off than a human cultivator. At least there's no lifespan limit; you can live indefinitely. Isn't that a good thing?
"T5\k_zu4 Upon evolving to the Corpse King stage, not only will your appearance return to its original state, but it will also become several times more handsome than before. It's fine if you don't thank me, but you're even talking to me in this tone!" "Humph! If it weren't for... I would have swallowed your soul in one gulp...
"From now on, these zombies are all your subordinates. They are painless and tireless warriors, and they serve only you... With such great power in your hands, there is nothing you can't do. Once you ascend, the entire Zhangzhou region will bow down to you..."
"Really? But you can't go up to Heiya. It's okay for me to ask Heiya City to surrender, but I want the entire Zhangzhou area to surrender. Do you think I'm a fool?" Gongsun Yu sneered.
"...The seal of the Black Cliff will soon be broken. This is fate... Boy, you're lucky... I'm tired and will fall into a deep sleep for now. Remember, only the blood and spirit of human cultivators can allow you to advance... Also, the people of the three major families are cursed with blood, making them half-human, half-corpse. No one can tell the difference between them. You can control them and hide them among the crowd... They will be of great use in the future..."
