"Yes! Inspector, the World-Ending Corpse King is about to emerge!"
Zu Shen hesitated for a moment before speaking.
Nalan Xing was startled and looked at Zu Shen intently.
"Didn't you say it would be two days later?"
Zu Shen nodded.
"Indeed, in two days, the World-Ending Corpse King will appear before Ling Feng, but now, the World-Ending Corpse King must awaken early!"
Nalan Xing asked with some confusion, "Are you saying you want to stir up trouble at Qinglong Hill now?"
"No, the place with the biggest commotion right now is... the Witch God Hall!"
Upon hearing this, Nalan Xing's eyes lit up, and he looked at Zu Shen with pleasant surprise!
"Heh heh, so that's it, this is your plan? You even kept it from me!"
Zu Shen chuckled sheepishly, "Heh heh, it's not that I kept it from you, Inspector, it's just that such a small matter wasn't worth alarming you. In two days, please enjoy Ling Feng's demise!"
Afterward, Zu Shen revealed his entire plan for the Witch God Hall.
In fact, when the Witchcraft Conference was held, Zu Shen had already set up a witchcraft formation around the Witch God Hall.
Because there were already some protective formations and forbidden areas around the Witch God Hall, places that were not to be trespassed upon.
Therefore, Zu Shen acted very cautiously, and no one discovered him.
Thus, the entire Witch God Hall became a grand altar to awaken the World-Ending Corpse King.
And the more than 1,500 disciples of the Witch God Hall all became sacrifices!
The formation was activated last night because the Hall Master of the Witch God Hall had left the Witch God Hall!
Although Zu Shen could not control the whereabouts of the Hall Master of the Witch God Hall, he knew of his departure, and that was enough!
Because if the Hall Master of the Witch God Hall had remained in the Witch God Hall, it would have been very difficult to activate this ancient corpse-guiding sacrificial formation!
Perhaps, Zu Shen had already determined from the beginning that the Hall Master of the Witch God Hall would leave the Witch God Hall.
After all, the entire witchcraft world was now targeting the Zu family, and the Hall Master of the Witch God Hall would inevitably have to show himself.
"Heh heh, so the Witch God Hall is now in dire straits? Using the Witch God Hall as an altar, Zu Shen, you truly are audacious!"
Nalan Xing's lips curved into a smile, and his previous gloomy mood completely disappeared.
It was as if a general who had just suffered a defeat suddenly received news that his side had turned the tide! This was truly exhilarating news!
"Heh heh, you flatter me, Inspector! The situation is simply developing according to plan!"
Zu Shen smiled faintly, his demeanor neither arrogant nor impatient, but his gaze instinctively fell upon Ling Yan beside him.
His eyes flashed with a mysterious and dangerous cold glint.
Nalan Xing, in a good mood, smiled faintly and turned to leave.
"In that case, the rest is up to your performance!"
"Farewell, Inspector."
Zu Shen bowed respectfully. When he stood up again, his pupils had turned a grayish-white!
That's right!
It was a grayish-white devoid of any life force!
Black mist even began to emerge from within, seeping bit by bit into Ling Yan's eyes!
In an instant, Ling Yan's originally somewhat numb face became extremely ferocious.
"Hmm? Only this much death spirit energy has been gathered? It seems those old fellows from the Witch God Hall are indeed difficult to deal with, but, heh heh, I have plenty of time!"
Zu Shen's eyes returned to normal. He looked at Ling Yan's face gradually returning to numbness, and Zu Shen seemed somewhat dissatisfied.
But then he sneered and took out his phone.
"Sunset, a hundred corpses descend the mountain!"
"Yes, Young Master!"
The person on the other end acknowledged the order and hung up.
"Heh heh, let chaos reign, let everything fall into chaos! Ling Feng, Ling Tianci, King Zhenbei! All of this is what I've prepared for you. You made me share the same fate as your elder brother!"
"I want to see how many lives you have to protect the tens of thousands of lives in Qinglong Hill! Hahaha!"
Zu Shen's face became increasingly ferocious, and his wild laughter echoed throughout the Duan family's old mansion!
And on a dilapidated attic of the Duan family's old mansion, Nalan Xing was staring intently at Zu Shen, with a strange figure shrouded in green mist appearing eerily beside him!
"Inspector, this Zu Shen... must be guarded against!"
"Just let him cause trouble, it's not time for you to act yet."
Nalan Xing said lightly, his entire demeanor becoming extremely calm, completely devoid of the easily angered demeanor he had before.
"Yes!"
The strange figure shrouded in green mist behind him nodded, and then his body seemed to melt into the wooden floor, disappearing completely!
Nalan Xing slowly withdrew his gaze from Zu Shen.
"Eyes of the Underworld King, Pupils of Reincarnation! Was Ling Yan's soul awakened by this thing? Heh heh, Zu Shen, I spared your life back then, and you've indeed brought me many surprises!"
...
At a quarter past four in the afternoon, the sun set particularly early today, and the fiery red color in the sky looked so captivating.
However, Ling Feng, standing halfway up the mountain, looked up at Witch God Mountain with an extremely grim expression!
There was no sign of anything unusual above Witch God Mountain.
That was for ordinary people. But a small boy beside Ling Feng could see everything around the Witch God Hall at the mountain's peak with perfect clarity!
"Master, the entire mountain is filled with corpse puppets. If we wait another hour, they won't be saved!"
The boy's voice was still childish, but his eyes flickered with excitement!
It was as if an adult had seen a beautiful woman.
This little boy appeared to be only five or six years old, but his face bore a striking resemblance to Ling Feng.
Anyone who didn't know would surely think he was Ling Feng's son.
And if one understood it this way, it wouldn't be wrong.
After all, it was Ling Feng's bloodline power that flowed through this little boy.
That's right, the little boy was the inheritance spirit of the Shi family, the Corpse-Gu Corpse Divine Infant!
After sleeping, the Corpse-Gu Divine Infant's aura was more than double what it was before!
"I told you, you don't need to call me Master. Stay by my side, and in a few days, you'll grow a lot. Just call me Big Brother."
Ling Feng looked at the Corpse-Gu Divine Infant dotingly and said softly.
The Corpse-Gu Divine Infant looked up and smiled brightly, "Heh heh, I forgot."
Ling Feng shook his head. He was still growing too fast. Although his intelligence had greatly opened, he wouldn't become too smart in a short period.
"I know you're already impatient. Go up and have a good meal!"
"Hahaha, thank you, Master!"
The Corpse-Gu Divine Infant laughed happily and skipped towards the mountain peak.
Ling Feng followed behind, the Yin-Yang fish on his wrist twisting, clearly having been activated by Ling Feng.
Standing before the Witch God Hall again, it was already unrecognizable!
The situation was even worse than Ling Feng had anticipated.
Many people had already started to kill each other!
