Tianwei Chapter 231: Emerging into Prominence (6)
For the Zhong family, the crucial battle now is whether they can rise completely and become the main lineage of the Heavenly Corpse again.
It’s done, the Zhong family is still the original Zhong family.
If they lose, all three clans will be like featherless chickens and drowned dogs.
When one prospers, all may not prosper together, but when one suffers, all must suffer together.
It's a pity that Patriarch Wei is not here. If he were here... Sigh. Zhong Jiutian sighed.
I glanced at the old Taoist priest. He didn't have any special expression, just staring at the secret corpse vein. The people over there glared at him at first, but then they probably felt that staring at an old man was too boring, so they turned their faces away angrily.
Wei Qingcang, who couldn't even beat the old Taoist, should be the undisputed number one in the Heavenly Corpse Cultivation. If he were here, even if the top three zombies came, he would probably be able to hold out for a while.
But as mentioned before, the reality is that just because you think something is unfair, it is not necessarily fair.
And now, not only did Wei Qingcang not come, but even Yuwen Ying was busy looking for help and did not show up. This battle was probably not optimistic.
As the head of the Zhong family, Zhong Jiutian is naturally shrewd and calculating at his age. He understands this principle better than I do. After the initial excitement, his face gradually became ugly, obviously considering the difficulties that would follow.
When will the Purple Talisman Sky Corpse wake up? I squatted by the pit, looking down from time to time.
It will probably take half a day, depending on how long it has been dormant. The longer the time, the slower the awakening process will be, Zhong Jiutian said.
I said "oh" and thought of two more questions: Why was the Purple Talisman Heavenly Corpse not unearthed in your Zhong family, but in this remote place? And why did it start to wake up for no reason?
I don’t know… Zhong Jiutian answered somewhat embarrassedly.
Maybe... He thought about it and added: Maybe our ancestors predicted that there would be such a disaster, so they wanted to leave some backup plans for our Zhong family?
That's possible. I nodded. Even the ancestor of the Du Sheng vein had someone predict that there would be a great catastrophe in the current cultivation circle, and left a secret scroll for the Du Sheng vein to retreat overseas. With the ability of the Tianshi vein, it shouldn't be difficult to achieve the same level or even surpass it.
It’s just that the Du Sheng Meridian is now dead, while the Tian Shi Meridian is still thriving, well, a kind of abnormal thriving.
We waited there for a while, but Zi Fu Tian Shi didn't wake up completely. Instead, we waited for Yu Wenying who came back alone.
Zhong Jiutian looked at Yuwenying coming alone, and his expression became even uglier. Yuwenying's expression was similar, gloomy, and he came over and bowed to Zhong Jiutian, saying: I, Yuwenying, am incompetent and couldn't find anyone.
Zhong Jiutian was stunned for a moment, then he sighed and said, "Forget it, this is not your fault. Now our three veins are weak, and the Secret Corpse Vein is the only one that is strong. Who is willing to help?"
In the battle of Hades, most of the clans suffered heavy losses. In order to preserve their strength, they were unwilling to get involved in irrelevant matters. Alas, justice will always come back to haunt you. Yuwen Ying also sighed.
I was slightly startled, and then I remembered that there were tens of thousands of people who followed the Qinling Emperor Vein into the underworld. So many people, almost all the big and small clans were included. In the end, these people were killed by the resurrected ghost messenger. The reason for such a heavy loss was not because of the conspiracy of the Heavenly Corpse Vein, the corpse embalmer, and my mother?
So it is understandable that they have no one to help them now. It is indeed retribution.
Who knows if the high spirits of the day will become the root of trouble in the future. It is really hard to tell whether fortune or misfortune is dependent on each other.
The twenty or so people who followed Zhong Jiutian all brought corpses with them, but each one was powerful. Most of those corpses were recently refined, and it would be difficult to use them as cannon fodder.
At this moment, a whirring sound suddenly , as if a huge bellows was being pulled underground. The sound was dull, but it could cause vibrations underground.
The old Taoist rushed over and pulled me over from where I was squatting at the edge of the pit.
With a "whoosh" sound, brilliant purple flames emerged from under the pit.
The fire soared straight up, several meters above the ground. But surprisingly, you couldn't feel the heat at all, but instead felt a chill that came from your bones.
A figure appeared out of nowhere, his upper body was naked, his whole body was green, and many strange runes were printed all over his body.
The Zhong family’s Qingfu Heavenly Corpse!
Zhong Jiutian frowned and took a few steps back, while the Qing Fu Tian corpse faced Zi Yan and made a slight sound from its mouth. It sounded like a roar of protest, or like it was whispering to itself.
The purple flame flickered slightly, bright and gorgeous. It seemed transparent, and you could see the other side through the flame. But the next moment, everything was covered up again.
There was a clanging sound in the air, a bit like the sound of ice and snow freezing. With the naked eye, some purple crystals could be seen falling around the flames, slowly turning into ashes and dissipating.
The Heavenly Corpse is about to wake up completely. Zhong Jiutian whispered, staring at the purple flames: Everyone, get ready. I will use the ancient method to collect the Heavenly Corpse in a moment. You must block the Secret Corpse Vein. No matter what, no matter what... we must stop them!
Zhong Jiutian almost gritted his teeth as he uttered the last seven words one by one. He clenched and unclenched his fingers, and then clenched and unclenched them again. His brows were tightly knitted, and his face was filled with excitement, tension, and worry.
The old Taoist dragged me back a few meters. Looking at the purple flames, I couldn't help but feel excited.
No one has seen the Purple Talisman Heavenly Corpse for hundreds of years. Legend has it that the ancient god Hanba was also born here, but I know from having been to Kunlun that secular legends are not necessarily true. If Hanba really exists, it is definitely a god that is hard to find in the world. How can a mere Purple Talisman Heavenly Corpse be compared with her?
However, what exactly does this top-level corpse that can burn everything look like?
While I was curiously staring at Zi Yan, the mysterious corpse vein people from dozens of meters away also walked towards this side. Yu Wenying snorted, and a golden figure stepped out from behind him.
The Golden-Winged Corpse, the king of this corpse formation, appeared again.
Zhong Jiutian waved his hand, and more than 20 people behind him came forward and sat cross-legged on the ground. Dozens of corpses that had been lying on the ground stood up and walked forward.
At their center was the golden-winged corpse that was as inviolable as an emperor. Even though I was behind it, every time I looked at the golden-winged corpse, my eyelids trembled. Back then, it punched the old Taoist dozens of miles away, and the backlash of the spell severely injured him. This shadow had a huge impact on me.
Two red-haired corpses emerged from the void, fell to the ground, and walked towards us with a low roar. Their claws were slightly opened and aimed at us, and a faint red mist emanated from their bodies.
Secret Corpse Vein, are you going to be an enemy of my Zhong Family and my three veins? Zhong Jiutian shouted.
The strong are respected. For the prosperity of the Heaven Corpse Vein, my Secret Corpse Vein has endured for hundreds of years. Things have changed, and my Secret Corpse Vein is destined to be the master in this life! The middle-aged man who had stopped him before snorted.
Kill! He waved his hand, and the two red-haired corpses roared and swept over like blades.
Stop them! Zhong Jiutian shouted.
Yuwen Ying sat cross-legged on the ground, his hands constantly changing the seals. The Golden Winged Corpse, surrounded by the corpses, slowly raised one hand, and the corpses around him suddenly shrank by half, but knelt on one knee and lowered their heads, making a low humming sound .
The sound was so strange and terrifying that it made the listener's hair stand on end.
emperor……
A sound came out of the mouth of the golden-winged corpse.
Its arms are raised to shoulder level, then slowly turned over and gently pressed down.
Without any sound, the dozens of corpses beside him immediately turned into ashes and dissipated. However, the two red-haired corpses rushing towards him howled and disappeared from the horizon as if they were hit by a huge steel ingot falling from the sky.
I was shocked. Is the Golden Wing Corpse so powerful? Can it kill the unformed Red Hair Corpse in seconds?
But then, there was a roar from underground, and the dirt was flying. I looked closely and found that the two red-haired corpses were pressed into the ground by a palm. At this moment, they seemed to have borne a huge force, and could only roar, but could not rush out from underground.
Step back. The old Taoist priest threw back the arm he was holding, then took a strong step and rushed straight towards Mi Shimai and the others. He drew two fire dragon talismans and slapped them away in succession.
Faced with the old Taoist priest who was coming aggressively, Mi Shimai and others' faces changed drastically.
If the zombies are included, the Secret Corpse Vein is certainly very powerful. But if it comes to a personal battle, even if the three of them are tied together, they are still no match for the old Taoist. After all, the Heaven Corpse Vein is for playing with corpses, not for cultivating one's own body like the old Taoist.
A green shadow flashed past Zhong Jiutian, and billowing green smoke came out of the tall Qing Fu Tian corpse. It roared softly and reached out to grab the green shadow, but it grabbed nothing.
At this moment, I saw a green claw appear out of nowhere and grab the old Taoist's back.
careful!
Experts, be careful!
The first voice is me, and the second voice is Zhong Jiutian.
Our worries were unnecessary. The old Taoist seemed to have eyes on the back of his head and turned to avoid the green ghost claw. The empty talisman that had been drawn in his hand had already been slapped into his palm, and a green and red light burst out. The old Taoist grabbed the green ghost claw with his backhand and shouted: Come out!
He stepped on the ground with both feet, his arms swelled, and the green and red light became brighter and brighter. A thing covered with green gas, whose shape could not be seen clearly, was pulled out directly from the void by him.
The light of the magic weapon followed the arms connected to the two and wrapped around the green ghost corpse like a rope. The old Taoist freed his hands and began to draw the empty talisman again.
The Five Elements of Heaven and Earth! He painted while chanting: Please ask the Nine Heavens Demon Slayer to kill the spirits, please go!
This time, the empty talisman he drew was more like a half-moon shovel. The talisman flashed with white light and shoveled towards the head of the green ghost corpse. A trace of golden light swam on the talisman like an electric snake. The green ghost corpse roared wildly, and the green gas exploded, breaking free from the restraints of the magic weapon. It retreated, its body twisted, as if it was about to escape into nothingness immediately.
This was a zombie that was difficult to control. The old Taoist stretched out his hands and took out the demon-slaying shovel, but he had no extra limbs to catch the green ghost corpse.
My mind suddenly went blank, and I stretched out my hand towards the green ghost corpse, mobilized my power with my will, and shouted: Chengtian! Ding!
