As soon as that figure appeared, I recognized him. When he said those words to Lu Zhenyang, I was so shocked that I couldn't utter a word.
Because this person is the corpse demon I found in the Corpse Yin Sect back then!
To be more precise, it was the evil sacrificial spirit that had possessed the corpse demon!
I had asked him many times about the identity of the evil sacrificial spirit, but he didn't answer me.
I had guessed it, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't believe that he was the ancient God of War, Chiyou!
According to what I had seen in the underground cellar in Shenzhen, the evil sacrificial spirit was a sacrificial spirit from the Shang Dynasty. Wen Tianxiang had summoned him from the Nine Serenities. Chiyou had been defeated in the Battle of Zhuolu in ancient times. The Yellow Emperor had split his body in two places. How could they be the same person?
I looked at the evil sacrificial spirit in bewilderment. I couldn't figure it out.
He didn't pay attention to me and just gazed at Lu Zhenyang. He reached out his hand and grabbed Lu Zhenyang's Chiyou War Axe.
He looked as if he hadn't seen the Chiyou War Axe for a long time. His right hand stroked the axe, and his eyes were filled with an indescribable emotion.
After a long time, he lifted his head. His eyes became cold again. He raised the Chiyou War Axe and slashed at Lu Zhenyang.
At this moment, Lu Zhenyang was still immersed in the shock of Chi You's appearance, but when he saw Chi You's actions, he obviously sensed danger and was prepared to dodge this attack. But he was still a step too late in the end. A blood-red shadow streaked across the pitch-black sky, and then a crisp sound rang out in his ears. Lu Zhenyang's right hand had actually been chopped off!
"This is how you use this axe!"
The evil sacrificial spirit's short body stood there like a towering mountain. He raised the Chiyou War Axe again and placed it on Lu Zhenyang's head, forcing him to kneel on the ground. Then, he looked down at him and said faintly.
Lu Zhenyang had been to the Shang Dynasty's royal tomb, but he had never seen the evil sacrificial spirit. He didn't know the evil sacrificial spirit's identity. He just knelt there, bewildered and bewildered. He lifted his head to look at the evil sacrificial spirit. He didn't understand why Chiyou, who had left him the inheritance, would attack him.
I was equally baffled by this question.
Considering the relationship between the sacrificial evil spirit and me, the inheritance he left behind should have been given to me. Why did he give it to Lu Zhenyang?
After passing the inheritance to Lu Zhenyang, Lu Zhenyang could be considered as his disciple. Why would he cut off Lu Zhenyang's right hand?
While I was pondering this question, the evil sacrificial spirit lowered his head to look at Lu Zhenyang. He coldly said, "Since you've received the first half of my inheritance and you've appeared here today, it can be considered fate.
This old man has also given you the second half of the inheritance. "
After saying that, he extended his hand and grabbed Lu Zhenyang's collar before tossing him into the empty space behind us. He then continued, "This old man's second half of the inheritance is in there. If you can comprehend it within a year, stay here and be this old man's successor.
If you can't comprehend it, then stay. The ghost generals outside are still lacking the Supervising Ghost Marshals! "
I wasn't sure if Lu Zhenyang heard him or not. After he was tossed into the dark void, his figure instantly disappeared without a trace. Only a mournful shriek reverberated in the surroundings.
After Lu Zhenyang disappeared, the evil sacrificial spirit turned to look at the axe in his hand. It was as though he was disgusted that Lu Zhenyang had used it before. He tossed it behind him into the void. Then, he turned to me and said, "Alright, let's go!"
At this moment, I was still immersed in the shock of the evil sacrificial spirit's identity. I didn't react and just stood there.
The evil sacrificial spirit turned to look at me. "What? Don't you recognize me?"
After saying that, he didn't wait for my reply. He grabbed my collar and walked out.
The evil sacrificial spirit finally stopped when we were about a hundred meters away from the dark void. I had also recovered from my shock. After he put me down, I asked him, "How could you be Chi You?"
This was the biggest question in my mind. Moreover, I had a good relationship with him, so I didn't hesitate and asked him directly.
"Why can't I be Chi You?"
The evil sacrificial spirit glanced at me. His tone was still calm. After asking the question, he told me everything.
After the battle at Zhuolu, the Yellow Emperor had divided Chi You into pieces and buried him. He didn't just want to dismember his body, but he wanted to use the natural terrain of Zhuolu and Juye to seal Chi You completely so that he would never be able to escape.
His plan was perfect. However, before the battle at Zhuolu, Chi You, or rather, Monster Emperor Jun, had predicted what would happen next. He had made two preparations.
On one hand, he had organized an army to let Chi You fight against the Yellow Emperor. On the other hand, he had found the place where the Yellow Emperor wanted to seal Chi You in Zhuolu and Juye. He had set up some things in advance to break the formation that the Yellow Emperor had set up.
That way, even if they failed the battle, Chi You could escape from the Yellow Emperor's seal.
Similar to the Yellow Emperor's plan, although the Demon God Ling was more intelligent than others, he still underestimated the Yellow Emperor's power. This resulted in Chi You being severely injured after he was sealed. A part of his soul fell into the Nine Underworlds and was unable to escape.
Thousands of years passed, but Chiyou was still unable to wake up. It was not until the end of the Song Dynasty, when Prime Minister Wen made a last-ditch effort for the fate of the country, that part of Chiyou's soul was accidentally summoned from the Nine Serenities.
At that time, Minister Wen had no choice but to do so. Although he did not know that the Yin Spirit that was summoned was Chiyou, he knew that it was not a good spirit. Hence, he used his supreme mana to imprison Chiyou's soul. After performing the Tai Sui Dragon Transformation Ritual, he sealed it again. Later on, when the fruit farmer Yu Fuda accidentally dug out the cellar, the power of the sacrificial evil spirit's soul leaked out. Yu Fuda was bewitched by it. He killed many people and used the ritual of blood sacrifice to finally release it completely.
After the part of Chi You's soul, which was the evil sacrificial spirit, woke up, he didn't search for his other soul. Instead, he searched for Monster Emperor Jun and the situation of the entire Demon Race.
After that, we met in the Yinshang Royal Mausoleum. At that time, he went to search for Monster Emperor Jun.
He naturally didn't find Monster Emperor Jun in the Yinshang Royal Mausoleum, but he found important information and confirmed my identity.
After that, we went to the Corpse Sect together. On one hand, we were chased by the people of Dragon Tiger Mountain and on the other hand, the evil sacrificial spirit wanted to find out about Monster Emperor Jun and the Demon Race.
After a long time, he finally started to search for all his soul and went to the tombs of Ju Ye and Zhuo Lu.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or if it was the will of the heavens, but during these two points of time, I went to the two tombs of Chi You for various reasons.
Previously, when I was in Chiyou's Shoulder Tomb in Ju Ye, the evil sacrificial spirit was also there, but he didn't show up. This time, he didn't want to show up, but he realized that my life was in danger, so he had to show up.
As for his soul, he had successfully repaired it after these two trips, but he couldn't completely fuse with it within a short period of time. Once it was completely fused, his power wouldn't be too far off, although he wouldn't be able to recover to his peak.
After listening to him, I couldn't help but take a deep breath. On one hand, I was surprised by their thousands of years of scheming. On the other hand, I was surprised by the power of the evil sacrificial spirit, Chi You.
That year, when he had just woken up in the Yinshang Royal Mausoleum, he had displayed extraordinary power. Even if the Heavenly Masters of Dragon Tiger Mountain and the Metaphysics Association joined hands, they couldn't last more than a few rounds against him. In the end, all of their souls were destroyed. And now, he had completely suppressed Lu Zhenyang.
This was already a terrifying strength, but it was only half of his soul. Once his soul was completely fused, who in this world would be able to go against him?
While I was shocked, I finally understood what the evil sacrificial spirit had done previously. I understood why he said that he would never harm me.
However, there was one thing that I couldn't understand. Since he believed that I was Monster Emperor Jun and stood on my side, why did he allow Lu Zhenyang to inherit his inheritance?
Lu Zhenyang was my archenemy. The evil sacrificial spirit definitely knew that. From what he had done, he should have helped me kill Lu Zhenyang. There was no reason for him to let Lu Zhenyang inherit his inheritance.
As I was thinking about this, the evil sacrificial spirit took the initiative to talk about his inheritance before I could ask.
According to what he said, according to his and Monster Emperor Jun's plan, he would successfully revive in his tomb. Hence, before he died, he sealed all of his equipment and some of his True Essence in the two tombs.
That way, he would be able to recover his power at the fastest speed after he woke up.
However, things changed. When he woke up again, thousands of years had passed. Everything was completely different. Hence, the things that he and Monster Emperor Jun had prepared became Chi You's inheritance that everyone wanted.
After he finished speaking, I couldn't help but ask him why he allowed Lu Zhenyang to inherit his inheritance even though he knew about the grudge between me and him.
