Chapter 2490 - 2491: A Vengeance That Will Never Be Forgiven
Chapter 2490: Chapter 2491: A Vengeance That Will Never Be Forgiven
Although they both reside in the land of witchcraft and voodoo, the Corpse-Driving Family is completely different from the Jingman Clan.
They worship the Ghost Nation, a belief passed down from ancient times, and claim themselves as descendants of the Ghost Nation.
Though in recent years their reputation in the Sky Beyond the Skies has not been prominent, the Corpse-Driving Family’s strength is rather remarkable, even faintly forming a rivalry with the Witch God Cult in the land of witchcraft and voodoo.
Who would have thought, that such a powerful tribe would be exterminated in a single day under the corruption of a malevolent entity, leaving only one survivor.
Upon hearing this, even Yangjian couldn’t help but change his expression drastically, "What? The Ghost Nation has been annihilated?"
The woman nodded, then began recounting the past in a low, deep tone.
It turns out the Corpse-Driving Family most revered the power of the Ghost Nation, and during major festivals, they must hold grand sacrificial rituals.
Recently, it was the birth anniversary of the Ghost Mother, so the Corpse-Driving Family began their ritual worship as usual.
Who could have expected that this very ceremony would go awry.
At first, everything proceeded smoothly; the Ghost Mother descended successfully, possessing the body of the High Priest of the Corpse-Driving Family.
But just as all the clansmen knelt down in worship, fervently chanting the scriptures of the Ghost Nation, the ceremony suddenly underwent a shocking change.
Firstly, the High Priest, the host for the Ghost Mother’s descent, suddenly went insane and emitted a terrifying wail.
This wail sounded as if it came from the depths of hell, something never heard even by the Corpse-Driving Family.
Just as everyone was confused, the brutal slaughter began.
The High Priest completely lost consciousness, transforming into a frenzied killing machine, slaughtering those around him.
Caught off guard, the Corpse-Driving Family suffered heavy losses at the outset, at least several elders perished at the High Priest’s hands.
By the time the others realized what was happening, the High Priest’s body had already undergone a mutation.
White bony ribs pierced through his chest, exposed outside, while his face rapidly withered, instantly turning into a figure resembling a mummy.
But this very form marked the beginning of the Corpse-Driving Family’s nightmare.
Despite the combined efforts of the elders to contain the frenzied High Priest, their attempts were futile, leading to even more deaths by his hand.
Not only that, but those who had previously been massacred by the High Priest staggered to rise from the ground, attacking their former companions.
Even now, as she recounts this bloody and cruel scene, the woman’s body still trembles slightly.
However, Yangjian frowned, "Are you sure this was the work of a malevolent entity?"
The woman let out a bitter laugh, "Of course, I am sure, because later the High Priest’s form had dramatically changed! He no longer resembled a human!"
"And then, from his mouth came a chilling voice full of malice, declaring himself as a malevolent entity, demanding all clansmen to submit to him, promising survival in exchange."
"What about the Ghost Mother and all the deities of the Ghost Nation that you revered?" Yangjian couldn’t help but ask.
Tears of blood flowed from the woman’s eyes, "They’re all dead! Killed by the malevolent entity!"
Yangjian and Xiao Tian exchanged glances, both in shock.
It’s known that although the belief in the Ghost Nation has declined, they were indeed genuine deities, yet they perished just like that?
No wonder this woman claims that the Ghost Nation has been annihilated.
At this moment, the woman continued speaking on her own.
"Later, I discovered that the malevolent entities’ aura bore a striking resemblance to the form of the deities we worshipped from the Ghost Nation, and it was due to this that these entities managed to infiltrate the Ghost Nation, then suddenly launched an uprising, slaughtering the Ghost Mother and all others!"
Yangjian was silent.
This is indeed a common tactic used by malevolent entities.
"What... what happened afterward? What about your clansmen?" Xiao Tian couldn’t help but ask.
"My clansmen..." On the woman’s half-destroyed face, an expression of infinite pain appeared.
"They all died! Died standing our ground, refusing to submit."
And at this point, the woman’s voice quivered slightly, "We’re often labeled as the descendants of the Ghost Nation, viewed as wicked beings that people avoid, yet on that day, we fought against the malevolent entities to the very end!"
"One after another, charging forward to fight, even if it meant turning into mummies in the next moment!"
The woman’s voice gradually sank, while Yangjian’s expression became solemn.
No matter what, these descendants of the Ghost Nation are worthy of admiration.
"In truth, I should have been dead too, but at the last moment, I was thrown out by the Great Elder who fought fiercely, because he told me that although the Ghost Nation has perished, the Corpse-Driving Family still remains, so he wanted me to live on!"
"After saying this, the Great Elder charged onward with a roar, burning his entire strength to perish together with those malevolent entities!"
"However, those malevolent entities seemed unwilling to die just like that, so they unleashed all their malevolent aura. To prevent any of these bastards from escaping, I sacrificed half my life force, ultimately eradicating that aura. The consequence is that I will forever remain in this form, until death!"
The woman narrated softly, her tone shifting to one of steel as if she were telling someone else’s story.
Upon finishing, she lifted her head to look at Yangjian and Xiao Tian, "Do you believe what I’ve told you?"
Yangjian nodded without hesitation, "Of course, I believe you!"
In truth, he could clearly sense the presence of a malevolent aura within the woman’s body, distinctly separating itself from her remaining half of a physical form.
This was enough to prove she was not lying.
The woman nodded.
"Actually, even if you didn’t believe me, it wouldn’t matter; my intention wasn’t to seek your sympathy. I just wanted to tell you, my vengeance against the malevolent entities is irreconcilable, and since you’re here to eradicate those entities too, we are, in a sense, kindred spirits, able to collaborate!"
Yangjian nodded, "That, of course, can be arranged!"
The woman continued with a question, "But I want to know, what deep-seated vendetta do you have against the malevolent entities to make you oppose them?"
Upon hearing this, Yangjian was silent for a moment, then sighed deeply, "In fact, our situation is quite similar to yours—it’s the hatred of annihilation!"
"Hmm? The hatred of annihilation as well?" The woman was taken aback, immediately shaking her head.
"After leaving the land of witchcraft and entering the Domain of the Yin and Yang Clan, I had inquired, but hadn’t heard of any newly annihilated tribes?"
"Of course, you haven’t heard of it because what I’m talking about..." Yangjian paused, "happened ten thousand years ago!"
The woman’s sole remaining eye contracted instantly, incredulous, "Ten thousand years ago?"
"Indeed! Even I was harmed by malevolent entities, which is why I was forced to reincarnate and become what I am now."
