Watch Out! Danger Ahead

Chapter 1209: Horde of zombies (1)

An indescribable shiver crept up song qingxiao’s back and spread to all parts of her body.

Under the extremely quiet and dark water, these female corpses snuggled up to each other and curled up like newborn babies, trapped in the depths of the water.

There were a total of 145 people above the Yu Lun illusionary realm. There were 133 grooves in the Holy Temple that had black cocoons in them. In other words, there were a total of 278 people in the Yu Lun illusionary realm above the Holy Temple.

Other than the black cocoon that had yet to reincarnate, most of the 145 ‘living people’ were male, and women were extremely rare.

Song qingxiao had her doubts at first, but as the mystery was slowly revealed and the origin of the Requiem tribe was gradually revealed, her doubts slowly disappeared.

After all, Yi Chang had said that the demonic Qi formed from the evil dragon’s dark spirit would use the soul suppression clan’s people as its hosts and attempt to devour their flesh and blood to resurrect them.

It was like having a terrifying parasite in one’s body, which would bring endless pain to the living host.

During this process, women’s bodies were naturally much weaker than men’s, and it was not impossible for them to ‘die’ in the end.

Therefore, after a round of selection and elimination, it was reasonable that only a large number of men, who were mainly Yichang, remained in the Yu Lun void realm.

However, song qingxiao had never expected that these women, who she thought were ‘dead’, would appear in the underworld!

In other words, a thousand years ago, after Yi Chang’s soul calming clan made the decision to reform, they should have built a holy temple and divided the clan into two.

Above the Holy Temple, the men were led by Yi Chang, while the women retreated to the bottom of the spring to guard the nine nether!

In this way, he fought for a thousand years of peace for the Yu Lun void realm.

Song qingxiao slowly went down along the current and swam past the female corpses one by one.

At the bottom of the claustrophobic water, the faint light from the surface of the water showed a strange blue color. The deeper it went, the deeper the color became, from blue to black, all the way to the end.

The female corpses that were lined up close to the Jade carvings were like a long and narrow line that extended all the way into the abyss.

These women had been trapped for a thousand years, and their faces were covered with a layer of black, sticky, and thin, mucus-like dirt, covering their facial features.

But through these thin membranes, one could vaguely see their faces.

The demonic Qi at the bottom of the water was extremely heavy. She did not know what kind of power these corpses had that allowed them to resist the thick demonic Qi without being corroded. Song qingxiao was about to touch them when she heard a loud noise coming from above her head.

‘Roar-‘

The dragon’s roar pierced through the water and into the depths of the water.

The sound was weakened when it traveled 70 to 80 meters underwater, but the dragon’s breath was transmitted through the water and went deep into song qingxiao’s sea of consciousness.

Then, there was a loud ‘bang’ as the statue was shaken by a huge force!

The huge black jade Condor began to sway left and right, stirring the water vigorously like a chopstick inserted into the bowl, stirring the water.

Along with the sound of water flowing, the female corpses that were surrounded by the Jade carvings began to shake violently.

The corners of the silent Vermillion Palace dress swayed, and the edges turned into fine powder and mixed into the water.

Under the translucent black-gray membrane, the skin on their cheeks, wrists, and other parts of their bodies were as thin as paper. Under the slight jolting, they silently cracked.

A black liquid as thick as ink spurted out from the broken hole. Song Qing’s eyes narrowed, and he keenly sensed the surging demonic Qi.

She had been guarding the bottom of the water for a thousand years. The black liquid that gushed out of the female corpse could not be blood. Song qingxiao could also sense the demonic Qi in it, which was the same as the Qi she had sensed in the groove in the stone wall.

In other words, after the soul suppression clan was split into two, it was not only the people living on the ground who attracted the demonic Qi into their bodies. There were even these women who had decided to sink to the bottom of the lake who might have also attracted the demonic Qi into their bodies and slept in the depths of the lake.

The formation of the nine Springs was probably not because of the demonic Qi at the bottom of the lake. Perhaps it was because of the existence of these women who led the demonic Qi into their bodies that gradually formed this Lake with dense demonic Qi.

“Suppress the Qi.” Song Qing carefully thought about the two words that Yi Chang had said. At that time, she understood that there was demonic Qi in the lake, and it was suppressed by the ‘Dragon King sacrifice’, which gave it the name.
