Chapter 924
"Why is there a tomb here?" Chen Qian looked at a towering stone tablet not far away, her eyes filled with doubt. She slowly moved over, squatted down to examine it, and then noticed the words "Ancestor of the Yang Family" written on the stone tablet.
"Could this be the burial place of members of the Yang family?" Chen Qian wondered, her mind filled with doubt. "Aren't my parents' surnames Yang? Could this be their grave?"
Chen Qian thought for a moment and decided to go and check it out to see whose grave it was. She tiptoed to the edge of the stone tablet, carefully pushed it aside, and crawled into the tomb.
The tomb was very clean, containing nothing but a coffin.
After looking around for a while, Chen Qian realized there was nothing of value there, so she turned around and prepared to leave.
Just then, the coffin lid was suddenly lifted, startling Chen Qian.
"Ah!" Chen Qian cried out in surprise, turned around and ran away, afraid that the corpses inside might rise from the dead, or that the dead might come back to life.
Inside the coffin lay a skeleton, which looked very old and was almost completely rotten.
"Could it be an ancestor of the Yang family?" Chen Qian stopped, her mind filled with doubts.
Just as Chen Qian was pondering, the skeleton inside the coffin suddenly sat up, and Chen Qian screamed again.
After the skeleton stood up, the flame of the soul in its eye sockets trembled slightly.
"hiss!"
A foul stench wafted over, making one want to vomit.
Chen Qian frowned and glanced at it with disgust.
The skeleton swayed a few times before finally collapsing to the ground.
Chen Qian breathed a sigh of relief. She looked around and, finding nothing else in the tomb, turned and walked outside. She dared not linger, fearing further danger.
"Huh?" Chen Qian suddenly noticed a jade bottle on the ground. Inside the bottle were a few drops of black water that emitted a foul odor. Chen Qian took a sniff, and her expression immediately changed drastically.
"This is highly poisonous!" Chen Qian exclaimed in horror.
She quickly picked up the jade bottle and hurriedly left the tomb. She dared not linger, much less touch the poisonous water.
Not long after Chen Qian left, the corpse general, which had been dead, suddenly moved. With a light stroke of its finger, it cut a deep mark on the ground, and the corpse general's head emerged from the crack, the soul fire in its eye sockets becoming brighter.
The corpse stared in the direction Chen Qian had left, muttering to itself.
"I never imagined I would become a corpse general after death. I remember being stabbed to death by that human cultivator. How could he let me rest here?" The corpse general was not unintelligent and vaguely guessed that Ling Yanyan had saved him.
"No, we absolutely cannot let that human cultivator escape." The Corpse General shook his head, struggled to his feet, and took heavy steps to chase after Ling Yanyan.
Ling Yanyan was unaware that his escape had aroused the suspicion of the Corpse General. The Corpse General was not only intelligent but also exceptionally strong, making it incredibly easy for him to track down someone.
The Corpse General was lucky; just as Ling Yan Yan was about to reach the village where humans gathered, it seized the opportunity and intercepted him.
"Hmph, you can't escape." The corpse general's voice was hoarse and low, yet it revealed boundless ferocity and resentment. Its chest was filled with overwhelming anger and hatred.
If it weren't for the man in front of it, it would have devoured those two delicious foods long ago, instead of ending up in such a miserable state today.
Ling Yanyan looked at the Corpse General with a solemn expression. Although his strength had greatly increased, there was still a huge gap between him and this Corpse General.
If it were a direct confrontation, he would have no chance of winning. But he wouldn't surrender easily; even if he died in battle, he would take someone down with him.
"Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish." The corpse general brandished its claws and attacked Ling Yan Yan Yu.
Ling Yanyan dodged the Corpse General's attack, then used his mental power to conjure several sharp blades and stab at the Corpse General. The Corpse General was not afraid at all, bared its fangs and roared, shattering all the blades.
