The thirty-meter-tall skull hovered in the sky, its eyes glowing with green light as it pursued Ye Zichen relentlessly. If it weren't for the current situation, this scene would've been hilarious.
The skull had been chasing Ye Zichen the entire way.
As soon as he arrived outside Spirit City, to no surprise, he was frightened by the sky full of grievous energy. As far as the eye could see, the entire city was shrouded in grievous energy, and the streets were filled with walking corpses.
Before long, he saw the Four Directions Palace's people, who'd followed Bi 'an's orders to take care of the corpses.
After confirming that the great emperors were in the city, Ye Zichen dashed inside.
However, before long, a skull appeared in the sky. Ye Zichen instinctively met its gaze. Suddenly, the skull's eyes glowed with green light, and it charged at him like a madman.
"Emperor Star."
"Zichen."
The few great emperors frowned when they saw this. Instantly, colorful divine skills were released from their hands, exploding at the skulls. It was as dazzling as fireworks.
Ye Zichen glanced behind him. The skull had been smashed to smithereens by the great emperors' attacks.
Only then did Ye Zichen give them a thumbs-up and grin foolishly.
"What are you grinning about? Look behind you!"
Pu Jingwan frowned and roared in anger, then rushed towards Ye Zichen.
Only then did Ye Zichen turn around and take another look. The shattered skull had returned to its original form, and it even grinned in a very human-like manner.
"Screw you!"
He reached out with his right arm, and the Xuan-Yuan Sword emerged from it.
He grabbed the hilt of the Xuan-Yuan Sword and swung it at the skull.
Sword light sliced through the air, cutting the surrounding space to shreds. The skull split in two, but the two halves fused back together. This time, it was even larger than before.
Empress Su Qingyan and the Four Directions Palace's Emperor Bi 'an stepped through the air.
"Master of the Stars, step back."
Pu Jingwan appeared by Ye Zichen's side, grabbed him by the shoulder, and hurried over to Emperor Chao Feng and the Lord of the Big Dipper.
"Zichen, why did you come here?" Ye Rong looked at Ye Zichen worriedly. "Are you hurt?"
"How is that possible?" Ye Zichen chuckled. "What a huge amount of resentment. Was it all left behind by the dead?"
Ye Rong and the others nodded, then turned to look at Great Emperor Bi 'an and Empress Su Qingyan.
"The skull chasing you seems to be condensed from resentment. However, normally, this kind of thing condensed from evil and filth requires a holy item to dispel it. I wonder if they …"
To everyone's surprise, when the skull saw Bi 'an and Su Qingyan, it came to a halt.
Although the dark light in its eyes was still frightening, it didn't take the initiative to attack like it had when it was chasing Ye Zichen. The huge head floated in the void, and one could vaguely see its color.
"Why are you two here?"
"F * ck, the skull is talking."
Ye Zichen's eyes widened as he reached out and stared at the skull in astonishment. "It doesn't look like it was formed purely from resentment. It seems it knows Su Qingyan and Great Emperor Bi 'an."
"It wasn't easy for me to find a good furnace, but you ruined my plans."
The Four Directions Palace's cultivators paled in fright. Meanwhile, Great Emperor Bi 'an's gaze darkened.
"So it really is you. I never would have guessed that place would fulfill its promise all those years ago and raise you into a Lich King."
"You're wrong," snorted the skull. "I left there a long time ago."
"What? Didn't they fulfill their promise?" asked Bi 'an.
"They fulfilled their promise!" The skull was suddenly enraged, and its shrill howl was ear-splitting. "I almost died at their hands!"
"That's quite a sight to behold," sneered Su Qingyan.
Suddenly, the skull twisted its enormous head and looked in Su Qingyan's direction.
After a long period of silence, the skull finally spoke.
"Big Sister Qingyan, aren't you being too cruel?"
！！！
All of Spirit City seemed to fall silent. Whether it was Bi 'an, Xuan Ji, or Chao Feng, their eyes brimmed with undisguised astonishment.
Big sister?
Was this Lich King in the form of a skull Su Qingyan's little brother?
Everyone stared in shock. Among them, Xuan Ji, who was on relatively good terms with the foxes, knit her brows deeply.
As far as she could remember, Su Qingyan once had a younger brother!
However, the corpse refinement incident had happened in the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. Countless fox clansmen had been refined into corpse puppets, and Su Qingyan had said that her little brother had died in the aftermath.
Su Qingyan had put in the most effort to eradicate the corpse refiner.
Everyone thought that she was taking revenge for her dead brother and her dead clansmen.
Could it be that this corpse refiner was her little brother?
"Shut up!" roared Su Qingyan, her eyes bloodshot.
"You really are heartless."
The skull shook its head with a smile, and the skull formed from resentment directly dissipated from the world.
Not long after, a vermillion cloud formed from resentment appeared in everyone's line of sight. Above the cloud was a handsome young man with a red face and white teeth. He was walking on the cloud.
"Lil 'Hai."
Xuan Ji couldn't help but cover her mouth. She recognized this youth. He was Su Qingyan's youngest brother.
Su Hai.
"Oh, Big Sister Xuan Ji, you still remember me?" Su Hai smiled and nodded at Xuan Ji, then glanced at Su Qingyan. "Big Sister Qingyan, even Big Sister Xuan Ji recognizes me. How could you, as his older sister, forget your little brother?"
"You're not Lil 'Hai, you're not!"
Su Qingyan's eyes were bloodshot. Waves of red energy formed from her rage and seeped out of her body.
The energy swirled around her, and a pair of furry white fox ears sprouted from her head.
Nine snow-white tails floated behind her.
In the blink of an eye, the sky darkened, lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled. A turbulent spiritual pressure permeated the entire city. Even diviners would feel their blood flow impeded. All of Spirit City was enveloped in darkness.
Even Xuan Ji, Chao Feng, and the others couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.
This was the power of the strongest empress of the Three Realms!
"Big Sister Qingyan, you're too unfriendly. I'm your little brother. Even though I'm a stain on the Nine-tailed Fox Clan's reputation, you don't have to want to kill me! "
