So, is it really Nikola?
According to the laws surrounding Nikola, as its corpse is sealed within a tomb, it is impossible for it to manipulate souls. If a soul were to escape, that sealed body would be completely immobile.
Thus, I conclude that the person before me is definitely not Nikola.
But who could it be? Is it Empress Xiao? It doesn't seem like her at all; I can clearly hear a male voice. It is certain that this is a man.
As for who he is...
After a moment of thought, my gaze locked onto this figure clad entirely in black like bone! A sudden realization struck me; there was someone in Khitan history who harbored such immense resentment, and only his existence could compel the Khitan people to travel such a great distance.
He was once the talented crown prince of the Great Khitan Empire, who "gave up" the throne to his younger brother. From a young age, he was intelligent and eager to learn, exceptionally gifted. He understood yin and yang, music theory, excelled in medicine and acupuncture, enjoyed collecting books and translating texts, and was skilled in writing and painting, achieving considerable success in culture and art. As a painter from the northern grasslands, he specialized in depicting scenes of grazing livestock or mounted archery hunts, particularly adept at painting saddled horses. He was also a commanding general and military strategist. As a vanguard commander, he led troops into battle, decisively defeating the Wugu tribe and capturing fourteen thousand two hundred livestock along with over two hundred thousand carts, tents, and goods, forcing the entire Wugu tribe to surrender to Khitan.
After conquering the crucial Bohai stronghold of Fuyu City, he and Yelü Deguang served as vanguards to conquer the Bohai Kingdom. Abaoji renamed it the Eastern Dan Kingdom, drawing from the concept of "heaven, earth, and humanity," and conferred upon him the title of Human Emperor King, granting him a crown for his son.
Later on, he relinquished the imperial throne to his brother and expressed his desire to escape his homeland like Taibo or Zhong Yong, thus completely fulfilling his intention of "yielding the state." This led him down an irreversible path of exile. In a unique manner, he achieved the virtuous reputation of "yielding the state." When Shijingtang attacked Later Tang Emperor Li Congke, who had already been besieged by Yelü Deguang's forces at Luoyang—the capital of Later Tang—Li Congke realized his situation was dire and suddenly remembered him, calling him to join... He was Yelü Bei, the yielding emperor of the Liao Dynasty!
The most critical point is that he was stripped of his throne simply due to being heavily sinicized; for survival in his later years, he could only flee southward. Ultimately, he met a tragic end being burned alive!
As for why his tomb ended up here, I am uncertain. For now, preserving my life takes precedence; I can ask her about it later!
This fellow has an extremely high probability of being transformed into a Black Bone Corpse Demon!
To confirm my thoughts, I hesitated for a moment before tentatively asking the Black Bone Corpse Demon: “Yelü Bei?”
Sure enough!
As soon as I spoke those words, thick black mist suddenly swirled around the Black Bone Corpse Demon. Red light began to flicker from its dark eye sockets. Then its skeletal jaw slightly tilted to the right as if it were smiling: “Indeed interesting; you’ve managed to deduce who I am!”
To be honest, this withered Black Bone Corpse Demon possesses considerable Daoist practice; if I were at my peak strength, I would indeed have to tread carefully!
However, before I could make my next move, the Black Bone Corpse Demon slowly raised its palm and said in a deep voice: “Since you have seen through me now, I will no longer hide; prepare to enjoy the fate of being devoured by a hundred demons!”
With that, the Black Bone Corpse Demon threw back its head and let out an incredibly piercing shriek!
The intensity of that shriek was ferocious beyond belief; it reached noise levels that made my eardrums start to numb.
Clang!
Clang, clang, clang!
Suddenly, several loud noises echoed from the surrounding tombs, sounding as if numerous stone doors were being violently struck.
This is bad; something is summoning the other Dirty Things within this tomb!
The Black Bone Corpse Demon possesses the power to charm malevolent spirits, and sometimes it can even control Mountain Spirits. The level of Mountain Spirits and souls it can control entirely depends on its Daoist Practice!
"Why are you disguising yourself to deceive me? With your strength, you could easily eliminate us!"
"I'll tell you before you die!"
Even though I was stranded on a deserted island and this sword weighed over ten pounds, I maintained my habit of keeping it close at hand. I knew that a battle was imminent!
Clang!
I drew the Azure Dark Sword.
As the Azure Dark Sword came out of its sheath, the fighting spirit I had just quelled began to surge once more...
However, just a few steps toward the Black Bone Corpse Demon, and suddenly, many tomb doors around me swung open with a loud clang. When I managed to catch a glimpse of what was inside, I was so frightened that I immediately pulled Zhou Jing back!
I saw that in the dark tombs around us, one by one, Big Zongzi were bouncing out...
Jumping Corpses?
Damn it!
Above White Death and Black Doom, there were Jumping Corpses!
These Jumping Corpses had bodies as hard as iron plates; even my Azure Dark Sword would only create sparks upon striking them.
Awooo! Awooo! Wooo!
With a single howl from the Black Bone Corpse Demon, it seemed to awaken all the Dirty Things in the tomb—Mountain Spirits, Evil Spirits—resulting in a chaotic mix!
I couldn't imagine how we would cope if these things came rushing at us.
Moreover, for the Jumping Corpse to rise, it needed a living person, Yang Qi. How could it just rise without one?
I felt a bit confused.
The Black Bone Corpse Demon, possessing high intelligence, seemed to guess what I was thinking and let out a chilling laugh. "If I hadn't made thorough preparations, how could I dare to invite the Monarch into the Jar?"
It seemed that these Jumping Corpses had probably awakened long ago, lying in wait for me to foolishly walk into their trap!
I sighed lightly. With so many Evil Spirits and Jumping Corpses around, our situation was quite dire.
I shouted loudly; only by fighting could we maintain a glimmer of hope. So let’s go to battle! If you want to fight, then come on; who’s afraid of whom?
Taking a deep breath, I drew my Hundred Slash Blade and charged toward the group of Zombies and Jumping Corpses. Swinging my Azure Dark Sword, I hacked away relentlessly, filled with rage and bloodlust, my eyes turning red. Charge! Fight!
At that moment, the Jumping Corpses and Evil Spirits finally burst out from the tomb. Looking at their ferocious faces, I forced myself to suppress the worry and restlessness inside me. I had rushed out this time and hadn’t brought the meteorite with me. Facing so many Yin Ghosts, I knew brute force wouldn’t work.
Suddenly, a spark of inspiration flashed in my mind. Damn it! I had completely forgotten a crucial formation from Mausoleum Secrets. This formation was incredibly simple and could be improvised with materials at hand. I refused to believe I couldn’t trap this group of Dirty Things…
