"What happened in the Realm Capital?" Fang Chen asked.
The Realm Capital used to be extremely prosperous, but now it was lifeless, as if it had been eroded by the aura of death.
Fang Chen's heart was filled with doubts. What was going on?
Why were the five kings of the Realm Capital not in the City Lord's mansion? Where did they go?
A series of doubts appeared in his mind.
"My lord, since a year ago, there have been warriors dying inexplicably in the Realm Capital every day."
The servant quickly said, "At first, the five kings of the Realm Capital didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just a normal death phenomenon. It wasn't until it continued for three months that the five kings of the Realm Capital began to take it seriously."
"However, the five kings of the Realm Capital mysteriously disappeared in the process of investigation.
There seems to be an invisible force shrouding the Realm Capital. More and more warriors are dying every day. Now the entire Realm Capital is in a state of panic. Some people say that this is the Shin-Shen School's revenge on the Realm Capital. Others say that the existence of the Realm Capital has angered a peerless master, who is casting spells to kill the people of the Realm Capital. "
In short, rumors were everywhere in the Realm Capital. Everyone was in a state of panic.
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, Fang Chen frowned. It seemed that this matter was specifically targeted at the Realm Capital.
"You said that martial artists die every day. Where are their corpses?"
"My lord, please come with me."
The servant led the way and soon brought Fang Chen to the forbidden area in the back mountain of the City Lord's mansion.
There were many corpses there, almost all of them were warriors who died for no reason every day.
Fang Chen stared ahead and found that these corpses were intact. His divine sense enveloped them, but he couldn't find any injuries on their bodies.
"How did they die?"
Fang Chen muttered.
If someone secretly attacked, there would be wounds. Even if the Primordial Spirit was destroyed, there would be traces left.
But now, all signs showed that they died a normal death.
Fang Chen narrowed his eyes and stared at these corpses. His expression became more and more solemn.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Just as he was deep in thought, a melodious voice suddenly rang out in the silent void.
If one didn't listen carefully, they wouldn't have noticed it at all.
"Not good."
The servant's complexion changed. "My lord, please step back."
"What's wrong?" Fang Chen asked.
"This sound, this is the sound. Every time it rings, a martial artist will die," the servant said in horror as he retreated.
Fang Chen frowned, stamped his foot, and floated in midair.
His powerful divine sense quickly spread out and merged into the void, searching for the source of the sound.
"Stop acting all mysterious."
Fang Chen said coldly. With a flick of his sleeve, boundless energy condensed into a long sword, which instantly shot towards the distant horizon.
"This is …"
When the sword pierced the sky, Fang Chen sensed a strange aura.
A wisp of black aura appeared in the air.
"What an evil aura."
Fang Chen said, his dark eyes staring straight ahead.
Huala!
He reached out with his large hand, wanting to capture the evil aura.
However, the evil aura seemed to have a mind of its own as it quickly dodged.
"Trying to escape?"
Fang Chen sneered, using the Roc movement technique, his speed soared to the extreme. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the evil aura.
Buzz!
In the sky, a sealing force fell, instantly sealing the world. The evil aura was suppressed by the Sky-sealing Monument.
"This is … the power of the Corpse Demon."
Fang Chen's divine sense penetrated the evil aura and instantly felt a terrifying power rushing towards him.
It was exactly the same as the Corpse Demon that he had killed before.
"Damn it."
Fang Chen clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. He didn't expect that the Corpse Demon would come out to stir up trouble after he had been gone for more than a year.
"Crack!"
Thinking of this, Fang Chen suddenly punched out.
The evil aura was instantly shattered.
Fang Chen's powerful divine sense attached to a trace of the broken aura, looking for the source.
In a dark canyon not far from World Capital, a black-robed man was constantly forming seals with his palms. In front of him, there was a black altar.
Within the altar, there was an evil aura gushing out continuously.
"Using the lives of the warriors in World Capital to refine my secret treasure. Hehe …"
The black-robed man laughed eerily, his entire body shrouded by the evil aura.
Bang!
Suddenly, a deafening sound came from the altar.
Then, the evil aura surrounding him instantly dissipated.
"What's going on?"
The black-robed man's eyes widened and he said coldly.
"Damn it, who dares to ruin my plans?"
The black-robed man racked his brains. In World Capital, there weren't many who had the ability to detect the evil aura.
The Five Kings of World Capital had already been trapped by the Corpse Demon in a certain place.
"Could it be …"
Suddenly, the black-robed man thought of the instructions that the Corpse Demon's higher-ups had given him.
"Oh no."
The black-robed man cried out. With a flick of his sleeve, he was ready to put away the altar and quickly escape.
However, at this moment, the world suddenly fell silent.
The air instantly froze. The black-robed man's body was motionless.
His eyes were filled with endless fear.
Whoosh!
Fang Chen walked out of the void. "As expected, it's the Corpse Demon."
Fang Chen sneered and walked in front of the black-robed man.
Boom!
The black-robed man burned the evil aura and pushed the power of the altar to the extreme, wanting to escape.
Unfortunately, he met Fang Chen.
Bang!
A crisp sound came from his body. The black-robed man's body was directly sent flying and smashed into the ground.
Puchi!
The black-robed man's throat moved and he spat out blood. His face was pale.
"Who are you?"
The black-robed man's heart throbbed. The guy in front of him was too strong. He couldn't resist the attack even when he pushed the power of the black altar.
"The Corpse Demon is really persistent. It actually set its sights on World Capital."
Crack!
Fang Chen chopped off one of the black-robed man's arms. The latter screamed in pain.
"You're responsible for the strange deaths of the warriors in World Capital, right?" Fang Chen asked.
"So what? If you dare to kill me, the Corpse Demon won't let you go." The black-robed man threatened.
"Haha …"
Fang Chen grinned. "Many members of the Corpse Devil Clan have said the same thing to me. Can you guess what happened to them?"
Seeing Fang Chen walking towards him, the black-robed man was a little frightened.
"You … let me go. I can tell you some important information." In the face of death, the black-robed man finally compromised.
"You don't have the right to choose." Fang Chen continued to accumulate power and prepared to kill the black-robed man.
The latter gritted his teeth and said, "Don't you want to know why I'm here to kill the people of World Capital?
Don't you want to know where the five kings of World Capital went?
Don't you want to know what role Shin-Shen School played in this? "
The black-robed man threw out several questions.
Fang Chen stopped attacking and narrowed his eyes. "I don't want to hear nonsense."
"I can tell you this, but you have to make a Martial Dao Oath and let me go."
Crack!
With another chop, the black-robed man's other arm was also cut off.
"Ah!"
Miserable screams could be heard endlessly.
Looking at the bloody severed arm, the black-robed man hurriedly said, "The five kings of World Capital were set up by the Corpse Demon and lured to a mysterious place. If I'm not wrong, the five of them are now trying their best to break out of the seal.
As for why I'm here to cast a spell, it's to collect more life energy to nourish a fallen Corpse Demon powerhouse. "
The black-robed man finished in one breath.
"Shin-Shen School cooperated with your Corpse Demon?" Fang Chen asked.
The black-robed man nodded. "That's right. Without Shin-Shen School's cooperation, it would be difficult for our Corpse Demon to move freely in this world."
"Haha, Shin-Shen School betrayed the Human Clan."
Fang Chen's face showed a complicated expression.
He actually betrayed the Human Clan for his own selfish reasons.
"Can you let me go now?" The black-robed man said, "I promise that I won't attack the Human Clan in the future."
After saying that, the black-robed man turned and prepared to leave.
Bang!
A bright fist light pierced through his body.
"You …"
"I said I'd let you go, but I didn't say I wouldn't attack you."
Fang Chen's voice came into the black-robed man's ears.
Crack!
The black-robed man's body suddenly shattered, and the black altar fell to the ground.
Fang Chen waved his sleeve and rolled it up.
