“Ah! A ghost!”
Wan Qing was so frightened that his entire body froze in place, not daring to move, and his feet felt as if lead had been poured into them.
Although he was also a cultivator, in the end, he was a young master who had been spoiled by his family, plus his strength was only at the Xuanhuang realm, so he was simply incapable of handling such an unexpected situation.
And now, his only reliance, Uncle Black, was not sure what had happened to him, and facing this situation Wan Qing could be said to have been scared out of his wits.
He had heard earlier that this Beast King Forest was haunted, and he had not believed it, but now he finally believed it, and regretted it to the core.
There was still darkness around him, and after the lightning pa*sed, he could not see his fingers.
“Rumble!”
Suddenly, thunder clouds rolled across the sky and a bolt of lightning struck down, brightening up the surroundings again.
This time Wan Qing could see clearly that the three lonely graves in the middle of the distant hillside no longer had only one palm, but two palms were poking out of the graves.
And Wan Qing could see clearly that underneath those two palms, there seemed to be a head that was desperately trying to squeeze out.
“Don’t kill me! I’m a member of the Wan family, don’t kill me!”
Wan Qing’s entire body was dumbfounded as he stood still and tried to escape, but at that moment his legs were as firmly grasped by those two palms, making him stand still and dare not move.
And this time, it was as if the thunder and lightning had fallen silent and did not appear for a long time.
Wan Qing’s body was wet with rain and he didn’t know how much cold sweat he had shed; every second at this moment seemed to be like a day.
“Rumble!”
Soon, the lightning could not resist striking down again.
And this time, Wan Qing could see clearly that there was no longer a hand on top of the lonely grave.
“Illusion, it must be an illusion!”
Wan Qing admonished himself in his heart, but the next moment he slightly shifted his gaze by less than a metre and his whole body went cold.
He saw a figure standing on top of three lonely graves.
The figure was covered in mud and was standing there quietly looking at him as if it was a zombie.
“Ah!”
Wan Qing couldn’t hold back any longer and turned around to run.
But the rain was pouring down and the mud was unbearable, so he turned around and slipped and fell with a loud “ah”.
He got up in a hurry and wiped the mud off his face, and when he looked up he saw a huge, strange face looking at him.
The face looked very eerie in the darkness, and only two bright eyes were staring at him with a deadly gaze.
Moreover, Wan Qing saw that the figure had countless bumps on its face, which was not at all flat as a human face has.
At this moment Wan Qing was completely shocked, and he was busy crawling towards the back, while he was busy shouting.
“I’m a member of the Wan Family, you can’t kill me! I’m a member of the Wan family!”
“Where is this?”
Suddenly, a voice came from the back, but it sounded unusually harsh, and was even accompanied by the sound of “creaking” bones as it spoke.
It was like the sound of bones clashing against each other when a clockwork that had not been used for a long time was used for the first time.
“Don’t kill me! I’m a member of the Vanguard family, I’m warning you, even if you’re a zombie or a ghost, you can’t kill me! Otherwise the Wan Family will definitely not let you off!”
Wan Qing said without daring to turn his head back.
At this moment, his entire being was desperate, the thread in his head was taut and he didn’t know when it would break.
“The Wan family? Whose family is it? Where is this?”
The voice from the back rang out again, this time still sounding harsh, though obviously much lessened.
However, in the face of the voice’s question, Wan Qing was unable to listen to it, and he was so frightened that his soul crawled forward one by one, while his mouth chanted.
“Don’t kill me, I’m a member of the Wan family, a member of the Wan family!”
The thing at the back seemed to be a little impatient and came forward and actually slapped Wan Qing’s body, followed by mentioning it actually lifted Wan Qing up directly.
He was raised high above his head and looked down at the ghost or the zombie, his face was white with fear and his whole body was shivering.
“Rumble!”
Suddenly, thunder clouds rolled above the sky, and the next moment another shocking thunderstorm struck down.
It instantly illuminated the entire Beast King Forest.
Wan Qing could really see this time, and the one who lifted him up high in the air was none other than a man, only this man was covered in thick mud, reminiscent of the hands that had just poked out from the ground.
At this moment, seeing this person’s face covered with mud, Wan Qing’s entire scalp suddenly tingled, could this be the legendary demon who crawled out from hell?
“No! Don’t …… Uh!”
The next moment he heard a muffled “bang”, as if something in his mind had suddenly broken.
The next moment, Wan Qing’s eyes closed, his head and arms dropped, and he didn’t move at all.
The man covered in mud was surprised to see this and looked at him with that strange face a few moments closer.
Finally it actually spoke to itself in raw words.
“Dead?”
The thunderclouds were still rolling in the sky, and the rain was falling incessantly.
But in that previous Snake Valley, there was no longer Uncle Black and those underlings of the Wan Family.
At this moment, there was only a large area of blood in the entire Snake Valley, and the pouring rain seemed to exist just to wash away the blood.
In a city far outside the Beast King’s Forest, the plaque of the Wan Family was hanging high in front of a mansion.
It was not raining in this city, for the Beast King’s Forest was too far away.
In the backyard of the Wan Family, there was this forbidden place where no one was qualified to come except the clan chief and elders.
“Wan Shou, this is the third time you have come today!”
Near the forbidden place, an old man sat cross-legged in a gazebo and looked at a black-haired middle-aged man in front of him and said indifferently.
“Elder, I am very uneasy in my heart, could I make a trip to the Beast King Forest myself!”
Wan Shou spoke up, this person was none other than the head of the Wan family, a strong man of the Heavenly Mansion realm.
“No!”
The old man refused without even thinking about it.
“This transmission array is the foundation of my Wan Family, do you, as the clan chief, still want to break the rules knowingly?”
The old man said in a cold voice.
There were only two circumstances under which this transmission formation of the Wan Family could be opened.
One, when the family has suffered a great change and needs to flee to save their lives.
Secondly, when the youths of the family reached the age of sixteen and needed to undergo a test to worship the Mountain Gate.
Wan Qing, Wan Shou’s son, was the second type, and this teleportation array, too, went straight to the outskirts of the Beast King Forest.
“But Qing’er he!”
Wan Shou had some vague unease in his heart.
“Rules are rules!”
The old man said in a cold voice, and then said no more.
Wan Shou looked at the teleportation formation in front of him and froze for a moment, but just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly heard a crunching sound, and the jade pendant hanging around his waist shattered out of thin air.
Immediately, Wanshou’s face turned pale.
“Qing’er! His life pendant has shattered!”
