Legend had it that the witches were born from Pangu's body.
They were known as the ancient witches. There were a total of 12 of them, and they were called the 12 witches. They were also known as the 12 Demon Gods. They were born with unparalleled physical bodies. They could devour heaven and earth, control wind, water, thunder, lightning, move mountains, fill seas, and change the world.
They were Dijiang, Goumang, Zhurong, Rushou, Gonggong, Xuanming, Houtu, Qiang Liang, Candle Dragon, Tianwu, Xuanzi, and Shebi Corpse!
According to legend, in the battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou in ancient mythology, Dijiang, Gonggong, Zhurong, Shebi Corpse, Tianwu, and the other 12 witches had participated in the battle.
"Who's that giant in the ancestral tower?"
A thought suddenly flashed through Ye Chen's mind as he thought to this point. He then looked in the direction of the stone tower, "Dijiang?!"
"Time flies!"
Old Fan looked at Zhu Li and the rest with a complicated expression and sighed faintly, "After so many years, it's not easy for you to still remember the mission given by the Great Emperor."
Zhu Li looked at him blankly, "Emperor Seal, since Fellow Ye has obtained your approval, doesn't that mean he has the ability to unseal Yin Xu?!"
To all the native living beings in Yin Xu, Yin Xu seemed extremely huge and could not be compared to the outside world. However, it was also like a cage that imprisoned countless people, unable to leave.
"No!"
Old Fan shook his head slightly, "Obtaining my approval only means that you are qualified to obtain the inheritance of the Great Emperor. If you want to inherit the ability of the Great Emperor, you still need to enter the tomb and obtain the approval of the Xuanyuan Sword!"
"Xuanyuan Sword!"
Zhu Li's body trembled violently.
Right at this moment, a faint sigh suddenly sounded between heaven and earth, "This world is about to start an unprecedented war from tens of thousands of years ago again. What is the fault of the common people?"
This sudden voice was extremely empty and distant, as if it had crossed endless time and space and came from the distant past.
"What's that sound?!"
Zhu Li and the rest were shocked. Then, they looked around as if they wanted to find the source of the voice.
Ye Chen's eyes flashed. He looked at the stone tower at the village entrance by instinct. The stone tower stood quietly as usual and did not move at all.
Zhu Li was stunned at first when he saw his actions. Then, he looked over as well. He seemed to have recalled something and suddenly knelt down heavily, "S-Ancestor …"
Elder Fan's expression changed as he said, "Old Emperor, have you recovered?"
After a brief moment of silence, the voice from before rang out again, "Three Trials and Seven Tribulations. How could it be that easy to recover? You are merely dragging out an ignoble existence."
"Three Trials and Seven Calamities …"
Old Fan sighed softly. "Looks like you all paid a hefty price for that battle back then. However, to be able to hear your voice again, this old man is quite happy."
"If this kid hadn't used his Divine Sense to spy on me, I wouldn't have woken up from my slumber."
The voice pointed the spearhead at Ye Chen, "I'm about to fall into a deep slumber again. Once the Emperor's Tomb opens, it means that the many tricks left behind by the Great Emperor back then will be completely exposed. The suppressed immortal soul will also fight with all its might."
"The birth of the Immortal Soul and the demonization of the Immortal Body. This world will be destroyed in an instant. There's not much time left for you …"
"Zhu Li, from today onwards, all of you should follow this brat. Since this old fellow chose him, it might be the Great Emperor's arrangement …"
With that, the voice gradually faded away.
"Yes, Ancestor!"
Zhu Li kowtowed heavily on the ground a few times. His old eyes were filled with excitement and sadness. Subsequently, he stood up and bowed to Ye Chen solemnly, "Zhu Li greets Master!"
Plop! Plop!
In an instant, the black mass knelt on one knee before Ye Chen. Their voices shook the surroundings, "Greetings, Master!"
Ye Chen was silent. Everything had exceeded his expectations, including the voice that seemed to belong to Di Jiang.
As if seeing through his worry, Elder Fan said, "Accept it. Since you've obtained my approval, you're destined to bear all of this for yourself and for the billions of living beings."
"Everyone, please rise!"
Ye Chen nodded lightly. Subsequently, he lifted his hand and gestured for everyone to stand up. He went straight to the point, "To be honest, I've come to the core this time to go to the merfolk."
"The merfolk?"
Zhu Li was stunned at first, then he could not help but say respectfully, "Master, the merfolk are located in the southernmost part of the Wasteland, and they're extremely xenophobic."
Ye Chen said calmly, "One of my brothers is the son-in-law of the merfolk. I suspect that something has happened to him, so I have to go to the merfolk no matter what."
Hearing that, Zhu Li came to a realization, "If you don't mind, I'm willing to lead the way for you, Master."
"That's great!" Ye Chen smiled lightly.
…
An hour later, a giant snail that was over 150 meters long broke through all the clouds and moved like lightning in the air.
Ye Chen stood on the giant snail with his hands behind his back. He was still thinking about the stone tower. Subsequently, he could not help but ask, "Elder Fan, is the one sleeping in the Guardian Spirit Village's ancestral tower really Di Jiang?"
"It must be him!"
Elder Fan said in a deep voice, "This guy was injured after that battle back then and disappeared. However, I'm still familiar with him."
"It's really hard to believe."
Ye Chen took a deep breath in and said slowly, "So, the other witches also exist in this world?"
"I'm not sure about that."
Elder Fan shook his head slightly, "Although the 12 witches are equally famous, they rarely interact with each other. Moreover, their personalities are arrogant and difficult to tame. After so many years, perhaps some of them have already left this world."
"Di Jiang is very powerful. As expected of a witchcraft ancestor."
Ye Chen's eyes flickered as he said, "Now that he's injured, he's already surpassed peak Void Refinement. I wonder how powerful he was at his peak."
As he spoke, he seemed to have sensed something and looked at the ground. As if sensing his abnormality, Zhu Li, who was behind him, immediately stopped the giant snail under her feet.
Ye Chen's gaze pierced through the clouds and landed on the ground.
In the dense fog, a petite figure was running around in the forest in a sorry state. There were many wounds on her body, and blood had already dyed her clothes red.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh …
At the same time, more than ten figures tore through the air not far behind her. They chased with all their might, and intense killing intent locked onto the former.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, a dim light appeared in front of that delicate little figure. After which, it ruthlessly smashed onto the former's body. That delicate little figure emitted a muffled groan as her body smashed heavily onto the ground, revealing the appearance of a young lady.
She spat a mouthful of blood and looked at the old figure who ambushed her with incomparable hatred, "Heavenly Evil City, you destroyed the merfolk. The patriarch will not let you off!"
"Patriarch?!"
The old figure standing in front of her chuckled, "That old thing, the merfolk patriarch, can't even protect himself. How can he not let us off?"
After saying that, he slapped his palm at the former.
The young girl could not help but reveal a look of despair when she saw that.
Kacha!
Suddenly, a strange sound came from afar, as if someone had stepped on a rotten branch. Even so, the old figure was shocked, "Who is it?!"
Under everyone's gaze, a skinny young man walked out of the forest slowly with his hands behind his back.
Ye Chen lifted his head to look at the young girl and smiled lightly, "Little sister, I saved your life. Can you tell me about the merfolk?"
