A long time ago, Miaojiang had a king, and Dali was the capital. Its ruler, the Black Miao King, was on the Heavenly List. The White Miao, to which Dao Qingfeng belonged, were severely oppressed and almost exterminated at one point, so it was considered a lifelong feud.
After the Black Miao King unified all the Miao tribes, he was naturally unsatisfied and ambitiously invaded Bashu many times.
It was a pity that he ran into Xia Longyuan, who was at the peak of his career at that time and was still working hard to achieve the goal of "ruling the world". At that time, Xia Longyuan was invincible.
The Black Miao King was killed without any suspense by a single blow. Yes, it was a knife. This knife is very familiar to everyone now. It is called Longque. The female Xiaoque is very familiar with this Black Miao King... However, he was not chopped into two pieces, but half of his head was cut off. In any case, he died a thorough death.
Miaojiang was conquered by Daxia. Due to geographical factors, it was difficult to directly establish a county for governance, and it eventually evolved into a model of self-government by local chieftains of various ethnic groups and control by Xuanweishi. The Black Miao became weaker, but because they had the largest base, Xia Longyuan slaughtered a group of them but did not implement a policy of extermination. In recent years, they were revived by Lei Zhentang and others, and colluded with Bashan Jianlu to instigate the last rebellion, which was defeated by Zhao Changhe.
After the last incident, Miaojiang claimed to be a "joint council" of all ethnic groups, but in reality it existed in name only. After all, there was no foreign war at all, and there was nothing that required a joint vote. There was only a struggle for power among the ethnic groups, such as who would own Dali? As the most powerful party, Sisi retreated at the height of his power and did not fight for Dali. In fact, it was because he really had no time to spare.
Dao Qingfeng of the Bai Miao tribe and Pan Wan of the Yao tribe fought each other to a bloody end. In the end, Dao Qingfeng occupied Dali and became the strongest tribe besides Sisi.
Dao Qingfeng originally did not have much ambition, he only opposed Lei Zhentang's Black Miao. But people's ambitions will grow and expand with the change of power, and now Dao Qingfeng thinks that Miaojiang is worth seeking.
In the eyes of all races, Sisi's side has great hidden dangers. As the main body, the Xia army cannot rely on the previous kindness to work hard for a lifetime. They lack ethnic cultural identity and institutional identity, and will not regard the spirit race as their affiliation. This is fatal, and it is very easy to be instigated and infiltrated, especially under the premise that the instigation also comes from the Xia people. Sisi herself has prepared for this. For example, the spirit race people in the army that Zhao Changhe saw already accounted for half, which was the check and balance she made.
Dao Qingfeng had never experienced the horror of the spirit beasts within the spirit tribe. On the surface, as long as he defeated the power of Taoyuan Town, he would have the opportunity to unify Miao territory, so how could he not be eager to make a move
But although the problem of the Eldar Tribe was huge, he himself lacked a little capital - not only was the military strength weaker, but there were no strong people. He could not even defeat Sisi alone, not to mention that the other party also had a master from the Heavenly Ranking who brought in divine weapons.
However, some time ago, a strange man from Xiangxi came to him and told him that he could also have a strong person.
That is the Black Miao King in the Black Miao King’s Tomb near Dali.
He can use a special corpse puppet method to turn the Black Miao King's corpse into his own puppet, a puppet with the combat power of the Heavenly Ranking.
And this was not done by someone else, but the method was passed on to him so that he could do it himself. Dao Qingfeng confirmed the feasibility of the method after repeated tests with other corpses, and then began to secretly act on the corpse of the Black Miao King. The so-called tomb robbing was just a cover-up, and the real purpose was to refine the Black Miao King into a corpse puppet.
However, no one could predict what kind of commotion the Black Miao King would cause when he revived. Dao Qingfeng could not do it in advance, for fear that the commotion would be too loud and attract the attention of the spirits. You know, there are spirits in Dali. And Sisi really has a treasure that can restrain corpse puppets. The Thunder of the Divine Axe and the Might of Heaven are the natural nemesis of these Yin corpses. It is a disgusting destiny for the Thief Saint to bring an axe here.
But with the death of the Thief Saint, the divine axe was left without an owner, and Sisi was also facing internal strife. There was really no better time to act than now.
Dao Qingfeng quickly entered the cemetery and went straight to the center of the tomb.
The mechanism of the tomb had long been abandoned, and there were only guards at the entrance. They did not notice that a man in red was following them all the time. When they entered the tomb passage, the guards behind them had fallen silently outside, like a ghost following them.
When they arrived at the tomb chamber, the coffin had already been opened and a dried corpse was lying inside. There was a faint aura of ferocity and violence about it, which frightened Yue Hongling, who was following in the distance.
—The art of corpse puppets has been completed halfway, and we just need to continue to complete the second half. Yue Hongling, who has fully understood the state of Xuewu and Maitreya's corpse transformation during the dual cultivation with Zhao Changhe, is almost certain that the unearthed corpse puppet will cause a catastrophe, not only to the spirit race, but to the entire Dali and even Miaojiang!
Several Bai Miao priests stood in formation, chanting something, Dao Qingfeng stood at the head of the mummy, gently stroked the mummy's forehead, closed his eyes and performed a spell. The messenger stood aside and watched with a smile on his face, obviously also excited and expectant about the upcoming success.
"Snap!" The mummy stretched out its iron-like hands and placed them on the edge of the coffin. With a "crack", the stone coffin lid was crushed to pieces.
Dao Qingfeng was in ecstasy, a red light flashed, and the sword light flashed. A bit of sword energy pierced his brow, and Dao Qingfeng's smile was still frozen on his face, and the sword energy had already torn his spiritual platform apart.
The surrounding Bai Miao priests and the messenger were all shocked. They never expected that such a terrifying assassin would suddenly appear out of nowhere. Those present were not even at the level of the individual leaderboard. Who could resist her attack
With just one sword, all of Dao Qingfeng's actions became empty words.
"Yue... Hongling?" Dao Qingfeng stared at the ugly face in front of him dully. He didn't need to look at the face, because there was only Yue Hongling in the world who had this kind of sword: "Why... Is it because you are partial to Simeng?"
"You are blinded by your lust for power! Do you really think that you, who have not even reached the level of secret treasure, can control the corpse puppets that are the foundation of the Heavenly Ranking?" Yue Hongling succeeded in one move, but he was not proud at all, but even more furious: "Energy will not be born out of thin air, and life will not come out of nowhere. Of course, you can't detect anything when testing ordinary corpses, but the revival of a corpse puppet on the Heavenly Ranking must be fed by the summoner's own life! It's too late for me to kill you now!"
The expressions of several Bai Miao priests changed instantly.
"Crack!" The corpse puppet summoning ceremony was stopped. As expected, the mummy did not turn into bricks, but continued to crawl up. The entire stone coffin turned into powder as he stood up.
Dao Qingfeng stared blankly at the messenger, seemingly unable to believe it.
The man finally laughed: "Of course... It's strange, this kind of Yin corpse method should not be known to outsiders in the world. I wonder how Miss Yue knew it... Could it be that when the Maitreya Sect was rampant, some unconventional methods were obtained from Xiangxi, and Miss Yue got them?"
As the words were spoken, it seemed as if an invisible energy was transferred from the Bai Miao priests to the mummies. The Bai Miao priests could not even utter a word and all died on the spot.
"Without supplies... he will tear apart all living things here, including Dali, Miaojiang... and all the lives in your tribe!" Yue Hongling drew his sword and suddenly stabbed at the messenger.
Dao Qingfeng's eyes were filled with regret, but he was unable to speak, and his body fell to the ground with a bang.
The last scene he saw was that the mummy stretched out its hand extremely swiftly, blocking Yue Hongling's sword path, and the messenger tried to escape - he had never participated in the ceremony of awakening the mummy from beginning to end, and the vitality could not be drawn to him, but he could control the corpse!
This was all a lie from the beginning to the end, and the corpse controller was someone else.
"Clang!" Yue Hongling's sword collided with the Black Miao King's steel-hard hand. The energy suddenly burst out, and the tomb began to shake and collapse.
The horrifying corpse gas went straight up, breaking through the structure of the underground tomb, causing the tomb chamber to collapse with a loud bang.
The messenger thought he could control the corpse, but he didn't expect that before he could run out of the tomb passage, he was smashed into a pulp by the rocks falling from above.
After all this time and all the planning, it's all just a dead end.
But can Yue Hongling escape again
