This Woman… Is Actually An Ancient Corpse?!
Damn it, if I had known the opponent was a Void Realm Expert, Ye Chen would have been more cautious!
Wasn’t this just sending my head to the enemy’s gun muzzle?
Not only was the Black-Robed Woman’s cultivation profound, Ye Chen observed the surroundings for a long time and was shocked to discover that this area had no vitality whatsoever; even the trees were dead!
Such a strange place is most likely the Black-Robed Woman’s nest, and the aura around it is exactly the same as her spiritual power, both icy and piercing!
Fighting on someone else’s Territory, the most deadly thing is that I am completely crushed. If we really fight, I might not even know how I died!
“Hehe, you’re quite sensible.”
The Black-Robed Woman, hands behind her back, slowly turned around, her tone revealing a hint of arrogance.
“Let me tell you, This Seat has no grievances with you and doesn’t want to make an enemy of you. Otherwise, if I wanted to kill you, why would I bother to lure you here? As soon as we met, your Human Head would have already fallen to the ground.”
“You are far from being This Seat’s opponent. Don’t play any more tricks.”
After these words, Ye Chen was silent for a moment, and finally removed the Array from his hand.
He had wanted to fight for a chance of survival, but since the opponent had seen through him, there was no need to struggle pointlessly.
“Senior, please be frank. If you need this Junior’s help, this Junior will not refuse.”
At this point, Ye Chen could only grit his teeth and deal with it.
There was no way, he couldn’t win a fight, and he couldn’t escape. What else could he do besides following the other person’s lead?
Moreover, he still had someone to save, and maybe after negotiating the conditions, the Situation could change for the better.
Hearing this, the Black-Robed Woman smiled slightly and said calmly:
“This Seat does have something to ask. If you can answer it, this matter will end here, and This Seat can even grant you one Condition.”
Ye Chen’s heart suddenly sank, and his brows furrowed.
Asking a Void Realm Expert for help—how absurd is that?
If the other party couldn’t even solve this level of problem, how could I possibly do it?
But the current Situation didn’t allow him to refuse. He could only force a smile and say:
“It’s this Junior’s honor to serve Senior, as for the Condition, I really don’t dare to accept it.”
He raised his eyes and swept around at the countless White Bones scattered everywhere, sighed, “This Junior only hopes not to follow in their footsteps.”
This was a genuine statement. Ye Chen was afraid of death, and he never hid it.
The Black-Robed Woman seemed to understand his unspoken meaning, and sighed softly, her tone filled with complex Emotions.
“Hehe… My Master once said that the prejudice in people’s hearts is like a mountain. It’s true indeed.”
After pondering for a moment, she slowly explained:
“Although this place seems gloomy, this is just a Barrier I set up to conceal my aura. As for these bones, they were all wicked people in their lives. Refining them, This Seat has a clear conscience.”
“As for my relationship with the Fox Clan, it’s simply a mutually beneficial one. In a life-or-death situation, I wouldn’t die for them.”
Hearing this, Ye Chen’s eyes flickered slightly.
To be honest, he was still half-believing.
After all, even a fool, seeing this scene, would only conclude that the Black-Robed Woman is a heinous Devil.
After thinking for a moment, he pursued the question:
“Those who are already dead?”
The Black-Robed Woman nodded slightly and said directly:
“Yes. The Cultivation Method I practice requires Yin energy to nourish it, and these bones are the best nourishment. But they were all wicked people in their lives. For example, Ling Yun just now, though not extremely wicked, harbored evil intentions. Killing him, This Seat has no guilt in my Heart.”
Ye Chen was still skeptical, but at this moment, the Devouring Immortal Cauldron gave him an affirmative answer.
In other words, what this woman said is very likely true.
Ye Chen was even more Bewildered.
A Void Realm Expert, specially brought me here, just to ask a question?
If you say this out loud, isn’t it too absurd?
But if this is not the truth, why would she go to so much trouble to explain so much to me?
Could it be… she has some kind of special hobby, liking to fatten her Prey before slaughtering them?
After thinking it over and finding it illogical, Ye Chen could only grit his teeth and ask:
“Senior, this Junior is dull-witted, please speak plainly.”
The Black-Robed Woman smiled faintly, as if not in a hurry to get an answer, and slowly said:
“Years ago, in order to revive my Beloved, I tried the Corpse Refining Soul Return Technique, but I was framed by the Clan Elders and eventually expelled from the Clan Sect, wandering to the Fox Clan… This is how this mountain of corpses came to be.”
Corpse Refining Soul Return?!
Ye Chen’s heart trembled slightly.
Although he was proficient in the Taiyi Divine Needle Technique and the Nine Nether Divine Needle Technique, he also knew something about this technique.
The result of Corpse Refining Soul Return is nothing more than creating a soulless corpse, essentially binding the deceased’s Divine Soul within the body, making it suffer eternal torment.
Why do all the Experts in this world like to torment their Beloved ones like this?
The Black-Robed Woman saw the Doubt in Ye Chen’s eyes and softly explained:
“People in the world don’t understand, Corpse Refining Soul Return is only the first step. The real key lies in ‘remolding the Divine Soul’. Only in this way can the deceased truly be resurrected, otherwise, it’s just a soulless shell.”
Hearing this, Ye Chen was greatly shaken.
This woman is actually an ancient corpse?!
She actually used some Secret Method to lie low for a long time and cultivate until she reached the Void Realm Strength?!
But because of this, her Cultivation is limited to the Void Realm Middle Stage, the limitations of her corpse body prevent her from making any further progress…
The Black-Robed Woman’s tone became low, and she continued:
“Back then, I had already received the Sect Leader’s permission, but at the critical moment, the Clan Elders suddenly rebelled, usurped power, not only killing all members of the Clan Leader’s lineage, but also wanting to completely eliminate me.”
“At that time, I had only been resurrected for a short time, and all I could do was escape. As for the benefactor who saved me… his life or death is still unknown.”
After listening, Ye Chen fell into deep thought.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem like a lie.
Even if there is some falsehood, it is at least a mixture of truth and falsehood.
He thought for a moment and suddenly asked:
“Haven’t you thought about going back for Revenge?”
Hearing this, the Black-Robed Woman shook her head, her tone cold.
“A mere Void Realm like me, going back would only be courting death. The Corpse Clan today is no longer the Corpse Clan of the past. I’m afraid the entire Clan has fallen under the control of that insidious villain!”
As she spoke, a chilling Cold Air emanated from her body, showing how deep her hatred was.
