Chapter 160: Malevolent Corpse
Qin Sang carefully examined the wounds on the zombie and thought to himself that it was indeed the case. This zombie was not a natural formation but had clearly been meticulously crafted by a cultivator through corpse refinement.
After inspecting the zombie, Qin Sang moved to the stone door and shifted his gaze to the ground.
There lay a complete skeleton, prostrated on the floor. From the posture, it seemed the person had suddenly died while running, collapsing to the ground. The bones were decayed and covered in dust.
Scanning with his spiritual consciousness, Qin Sang found no wounds on the skeleton. It appeared that the person had either been shattered internally or had their primordial spirit obliterated.
He intended to look for any belongings that might prove the identity of the deceased, but there was nothing on the skeleton. However, next to it was a cracked black coffin, the lid marked by a large tear, as if it had been ripped open by claws.
This coffin was likely an artifact for corpse refinement. It was unclear whether its spiritual essence had dissipated or if it had been destroyed by external forces; all that remained were a few decayed wooden pieces, and the corpse sealed inside had broken free and escaped.
In that case, the earlier zombie must have been a product of this person’s corpse refinement. It was highly probable that this individual was a demonic cultivator skilled in the art of corpse refinement.
Qin Sang knew little about demonic cultivators, mostly through hearsay. He had never heard of any disciple from a demonic sect in the Small Cold Domain excelling in corpse refinement and using such a coffin for sealing it.
"I wonder if this person was an intruder or the master of this cave?"
