Chapter 479: Hidden Immortal Artifact! Six Souls Banner! Heavenly King Sudu? Human-Skin litter!
Just now, her consciousness was aware, but a chilling aura had taken control of it, forcing her toward the litter against her will. In her primordial spirit state, she clearly saw that the litter was stitched together from human skin, drenched in fresh blood; it was truly horrifying.
The night owl, or rather the cat-headed bird, peered out with cruel greed. If she had been pulled closer, it was highly likely she would have been devoured by that owl in an instant.
Fortunately, Li Yanchu had rescued her. Li Yanchu’s intervention directly alerted the woman inside the litter.
Just then, the beautiful bride glanced coldly at Li Yanchu. She seemed familiar to him, as if he had seen her in a celestial domain or Blissful Land. But he didn’t dwell on it; back then he had been at the peak of his cultivation, unstoppable against humans and ghosts alike, so the memory wasn’t deeply etched.
Now, the bride looked at him again, her eyes radiating murderous intent, and simultaneously a strange primordial spirit attack was launched at him!
Above Li Yanchu’s head, a black-and-white Taiji diagram appeared. In an instant, the area around him turned into ink-wash colors, shielding the people behind him. A stream of ink-colored energy shot forward, destroying the bride’s spirit attack.
With that, the bride was struck as if by lightning. Her delicate makeup was suddenly soaked in blood, and her primordial spirit had been injured.
This was none other than Heavenly King[1] Sudu[2], one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Bare Body Sect.
She had entered this mysterious Liu ancestral hall to retrieve a powerful magical artifact, the very core that maintained the operation of the entire ancestral hall: the Six Souls Banner. She had learned of its location by accident and, with the aid of a special item, entered the ancestral hall.
Originally, the red bridal litter contained a young, beautiful bride who had died tragically before marriage, her hatred and resentment extreme, making her one of the most ferocious ghosts in this eerie town.
Moreover, she had her own complete team: each of the ghostly litter bearers was a fierce spirit. The drums and gongs they carried were special underworld instruments, capable of influencing human souls. The overall combat power of this wedding procession was among the top in the entire mysterious town.
Heavenly King Sudu initially planned to enter the ancestral hall and seize the Six Souls Banner, aiming to control its immense power. But she soon realized it wasn’t that simple.
