Chapter 438

There was a Lake of Death somewhere deep in the mountains of Eastern Wilderness.

There were no living creatures in the lake. Even aquatic plants with strong vitality could not survive in this area.

As for the periphery of the Lake of Death, the trees within a radius of a few hundred miles were all withered and barren.

Be it beasts or humans, no one lived here. Occasionally, there would be living creatures that trespassed here, but their whereabouts would be unknown and they would vanish from the face of the earth.

In the middle of the Lake of Death, there was a gloomy island. The island was filled with ancient castles.

Very few people knew that this was the headquarters of Acheron Tower, one of the three dark forces of the Kunlun Continent. It was also the residence of the Yan Family, a reclusive aristocratic family of Eastern Wilderness. It was called Abi Island.

The Yan Family had been here for many years and was undoubtedly the core power of Acheron Tower.

More than eighty percent of the people on the island were ghost cultivators. Often, the descendants of the Yan Family would capture suitable "bodies" from the outside world and refine them into powerful martial zombies.

There were also those who did not cultivate the art of corpse control. They extracted the souls of the captured people and used them to refine all kinds of evil ghost treasures.

Over time, Abi Island was filled with Yin Qi. The resentment of countless dead souls did not dissipate and condensed into thick, dark clouds in the sky. It was difficult to see the sun all year round.

Today was just an ordinary day for the Yan Family.

However, in the peaceful afternoon, when the descendants of the Yan Family were cultivating, a terrifying pressure suddenly filled the air. Someone had forcefully broken through the barrier of the Lake of Death and descended on the sky of Abi Island!

"How dare you! Who dares to break into the Yan Family? "

"Who is so daring? Don't they know where this place is?"

The descendants of the Yan Family sensed it immediately and sent out guards and flying corpses to clean up the intruder.

The Yan Family now owned Acheron Tower and had allied with the new emperor of Middle Earth. They were one of the most prominent families on the continent. How could they allow others to provoke them?

However.

"Ah —"

"Help!"

The guards and zombie soldiers that were sent out soon went silent. The descendants of the Yan Family were so shocked that they ran out of their residences.

In the sky above Abi Island, a middle-aged man in a black robe stood with his hands behind his back.

His eyes gave off an evil feeling. The guards and zombie soldiers that were supposed to surround him had all disappeared.

"How dare you! Who are you? Where are our people? What did you do to them? "

The cultivators from the Yan Family looked at the black-robed man in shock. This was truly strange. The bodyguards had only been attacking for a short period of time. Yet, all they did was let out a scream before disappearing.

"You mean them? I've already eaten it. "

The black-robed man licked his lips and sneered.

"Acting all mysterious!"

A group of Yan Family cultivators either summoned their magic treasures or controlled their refined corpses to surround the black-robed man.

"Looks like it's been too long since I last appeared. No one in the Yan Family remembers me anymore …"

The black-robed man shook his head.

"Do it!"

The group of Yan Family members didn't listen to the black-robed man at all. Intense killing intent erupted from their bodies.

"A bunch of dogs, how dare you offend your superiors!"

Coldness surged in the black-robed man's eyes. He flicked his sleeves, and gusts of chilly wind appeared in the void. Wherever the chilly wind passed, the magic treasures shattered and the corpse soldiers froze!

As for the Yan Family members, their flames of life were extinguished on the spot when the wind blew past them. Even their souls were destroyed!

In the blink of an eye, all the Yan family members who had attacked were dead!

"Celestial Realm?"

The remaining Yan Family members gasped. At this moment, a few powerful auras shot up into the sky from Avici Island.

"Who are you? How dare you kill the descendants of the Yan Family!"

"I see that you're also a ghost cultivator. Don't you know that the Yan Family is the strongest of all ghost cultivators? How dare you come here and court death! "

Three Sages of the Yan Family rushed into the sky and confronted the black-robed man!

"Your Majesty, are we really not going to help the Ghost Emperor?"

In the sky far away, Gu Chen and the others gathered together. The Thousand-Hand Killing God asked.

Gu Chen shook his head. "It's not a bad idea to take this opportunity to see the Ghost Emperor's strength."

The Ghost King stood beside the group of killing gods and stared at the battlefield with full attention.

The Underworld Tower was built by the Ghost Race, but now it was occupied by the Yan Family.

Now that the Ghost Emperor had returned, the Yan Family no longer recognized him. He was looking forward to the upcoming battle.

The Ghost Emperor was the strongest expert of the Ghost Race. His battle would be a great reference for him.

The three Sages of the Yan Family quickly attacked the Ghost Emperor. The Ghost Emperor's strength was really unfathomable. He chuckled coldly and in just a few rounds, he had forced them into a life and death situation.

"Who is this person? Why are our skills and techniques ineffective against him! "

"Our Yan Family's unique skills have no effect on him!"

The Yan Family soon realized a shocking fact. They claimed to be the strongest among ghost cultivators and were proud of their family's unique skills.

But their unique skills, be it the Corpse Refinement Technique or the Ghost Exorcism Technique, were easily countered by the person in front of them!

"What do you mean by the strongest! It's just something that I taught your ancestor back then. It's fine if you learned it, but how dare you show it off in front of me? "

The Ghost Emperor said in disdain. He countered the attacks of the three Sages in a few moves and severely injured them.

"Who are you? Are you …"

The three Sages of the Yan Family were shocked when they heard the Ghost Emperor's words. They thought of a possibility.

"Ghost Emperor! Since you've already left, why did you return? "

At this moment, a thunderous voice came from the depths of Avici Island. The voice was filled with extreme killing intent!

"Master of Yellow Spring!"

The expressions of Gu Chen and the others who were far away turned grim.

The Master of Yellow Spring was the leader of one of the three dark forces. Although his strength was not as strong as the Heavenly Thearch and the God of the Underworld, he was not too far behind.

Rumor had it that he had six powerful battle corpses known as the Six Rebirth Paths. Each of them had the strength of a Celestial Being!

It was because of the Six Rebirth Paths that the Yan Family was able to sit firmly on the top seat of the Yellow Spring Inn. It was also why the Yellow Spring Inn was able to stand firm among the three dark forces!

"Dog slave, since you know that I've returned, why don't you lead your family and kneel down and kowtow to me?"

The Ghost Emperor said coldly. His words completely angered the Master of Yellow Spring.

"Old thing, you should have stepped into your coffin a long time ago! The Yan Family is no longer what it used to be. We are no longer your slaves!

"It's good that you've returned today. Killing you will make up for the lack of my Dao heart and allow the Yan Family to completely break free from this shackle!"

After the Master of Yellow Spring finished speaking, he flew into the sky with six powerful battle corpses beside him!

The six battle corpses were dressed in simple and unadorned clothes. They did not look like they belonged to this era. Their appearances were even weirder. Some of them were clearly not from the Kunlun Continent.

Gu Chen and the Ghost Emperor exchanged glances. The six battle corpses reminded them of the corpses in the Yellow Spring.

However, unlike the corpses in the Yellow Spring, these six battle corpses were well-preserved. Each of them revealed the strength of at least a Celestial Being.

The number of Sages of the Yellow Spring Inn was not as many as that of the Celestial Court and the Underworld God Palace. However, with the Six Rebirth Paths, they had made up for their disadvantage and remained one of the three dark forces.
