Chapter 63 An Evil Intent 3

After a long while, she consumed all the flesh of his head—he remained alive throughout the whole process . Finally, only a skull remained . She forcefully pulled his skull apart and licked his cerebral fluids; the colonel only died at this moment . Then, the man in white looked back at Ye Shaoyang, “Do you still want to see how Higashino Jun died?”

“Just show me the outcome . I don’t want to see the process . I know that he must’ve died a worse death than the colonel,” said Ye Shaoyang as he rubbed his head . Then, the man in white waved his hand . The scene changed to a big room heaped with bundles of goods . It looked like they were in a storehouse .

A man and a lady, covered with blood, leaned against the stocks . From their necks down, they looked just like a pair of skeletons . However, they still had their internal organs, while pieces of flesh remained attached to their bones . It was hard to believe that they were still alive, but they let out weak moans; they looked dull .

“She is the colonel’s niece, Higashino Jun’s Japanese girlfriend . Xinyu possessed Higashino . Then, she wrote a letter to his girlfriend and frightened them in a most horrible fashion until they broke down . She used two days to taste their flesh . After a total of one thousand and eight licks, they became two skeletons and died in agony . ”

‘That’s impossible, won’t they die after losing so much blood?’ Xiao Ma asked as he shivered .

The man in white replied with a smile, “A skilled executioner can prolong the death of their victims for three days and three thousand cuts during ancient times . After all, she is a soulbound undead . She is able to fix one’s soul to their body to keep them alive . ”

“I felt very satisfied when she killed those two guys, but why the nurse? She didn’t hurt Xinyu before . ” Xiao Ma hesitated .

“She had no more kindness the moment Higashino pushed her away . Her sole purpose is to take revenge on everyone and society,” Ye Shaoyang sighed .

The man in white nodded and said, “Within ten days, she killed everyone in the hospital . She captured their souls and sent them to the spirit nest; they became her servants . Well, this is how she transformed into a soulbound undead . Let’s go back . ”

He waved his hand again; the whole building collapsed, as if an earthquake had occurred . Ye Shaoyang fell . Then, he violently shuddered and woke up . He found himself lying on the bed . He reached under his pillow and felt relieved when he found the Qixing Dragon Dword still there .

He sat up and looked at the man in white, who stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, as he gazed outside . The man looked cool as his long hair and shirt danced in the wind, like a hero from an old Chinese drama . When Ye Shaoyang thought of all the things that Feng Xinyu had gone through, all sorts of feelings welled up and tangled his heart .

“You can ask anything now . ” The man in white looked back at Ye Shaoyang .

Ye Shaoyang tidied up his thoughts . He had a lot of questions, but first, he asked the one that he wished to know the most, “Why did you bring us see Feng Xinyu’s incident?”

“To let you understand the formation of that spirit nest and how she became a soulbound undead . Although I bear a grudge against her, I always felt that she was not the main culprit behind her becoming a soulbound undead . If possible, I hope you can transcend her soul after you defeat her,” said the man in white .

Ye Shaoyang looked at him with doubt, “How come you are so kind? You are a specter . ”

The man in white answered, “Who says there are no kind specters? I have never killed a person before . If not, I wouldn’t have survived till today . Anything else you would like to know?”

Ye Shaoyang paused and asked, “Where did the shadow specter come from?”

“I’m not sure . It was there since they opened the ancient tomb . ”

“Ancient tomb? What old tomb?”

“I have to tell you everything from the beginning . Don’t think that I am very talkative . I have to start from the beginning to make you understand the whole story,” replied the man in white after he took a breath .

“Many years ago, when those Japanese built this military hospital, they were trying to cover up the two construction works beneath it—an ammunition depot, and a refuge to provide them safety and a secret exit . During the construction, the armies found a millennium ancient tomb . They opened the coffin in order to look for the treasures, but they met an undead king inside… . ”

Such an event shocked Ye Shaoyang . Those guys were so unlucky to meet an undead king during construction .

“It killed all the of the military personnel that entered its vicinity . They couldn’t use heavy weapons down there, as the weapons might destroy the whole construction . So, they sent more military personnel in to deal with it, but it still killed them . The Japanese had no choice . They hunted for sorcerers everywhere to deal with the undead king . However, the undead king killed seven sorcerers in a row . This continued until Rui Lengyu’s great-grandfather went in . ”

This news stunned Ye Shaoyang . He had never thought that the Rui Lengyu’s craft of whispering was handed down in her family .

“Even though the undead king killed them, they had also heavily injured it in return . Thanks to luck, her great-grandfather manage to use a spell to seal it up . Out of his national integrity, he made an excuse of transcending the souls and arranged a hundred spirit funneling formation . He locked up all the souls of the dead within the array . The hospital is on top of the ammunition depot . You are a sorcerer, so you can guess why her great-grandfather did that . ”

Ye Shaoyang took a deep breath . A hundred spirit funneling formation would gather Yin Qi toward a specific location . If one made Tan Lang and Po Jun the two focal points of the formation, they would alter the formation . This would change it to discharge Yin Qi and push away Yang Qi . Such a formation was useful in a graveyard to help transcend spirits . But if used to discharge Yin Qi into the hospital… it would kill many .

“Her great-grandfather originally intended to use the formation to send the souls in the depot to kill all the Japanese in the hospital . That specter formed after he set the formation . I don’t know its background, but it was strong . Alone, it suppressed all the other souls, which kept the people in the hospital temporarily safe—till the appearance of Feng Xinyu . Then, he released the spirit Qi into her before her last breath . The spirit Qi entered her body and immediately precipitated her into a supreme spirit . ”

“But why did it have to wait until she was about to die?” Xiao Ma chipped in from behind . He had also woken up already . All the while, he had listened to the man in white, as he told Feng Xinyu’s story .

Ye Shaoyang replied, “She died with hatred . Her body could withstand the great impact from the Yin Qi . Normal spirits wouldn’t be able to bear it; their souls would shatter into pieces . ”

Xiao Ma thought for awhile and asked, “In that case, the specter might have planned this beforehand?”

“No, you can’t plan something like this beforehand . I guess it was always waiting for this opportunity, waiting for a person to die in a violent way to help it finish its plan . After Feng Xinyu became a supreme spirit, it guided her to cultivate both spirit and undead together . Her body in the hospital would absorb corpse Qi, while her soul continued to cultivate in the spirit nest .

“After that, the government took over this building and buried all the corpses in Qiyun Mountain . The specter dug up her body and transferred her to the valley . It fixed up the Chain of Nine Yin Formation and continued to cultivate Xinyu’s body . It also obtained an ebony hardwood coffin from the underworld . It originally planned to wait for her to cultivate to the peak and become a spirit mother Rakshasa… . ”
