Chapter 1253: Shi Weihan
Zhong Siyu's attack was but a flash, and even if Yang Haoran had intended to stop her—which he didn't—he wouldn't necessarily have succeeded in such a short time.
Yang Haoran said nothing about Zhong Siyu's actions. He simply gave her a nod, and his body transformed into a streak of black light, shooting swiftly in one direction.
This time, Zhong Siyu caused no further complications. With a ferocious grin, she closely followed Yang Haoran, leaving behind a scene of utter devastation, cries of alarm, and screams of agony.
No sooner had the two left than several spatial rifts appeared above the area violently destroyed by Zhong Siyu. A few figures rushed out of the rifts, their gazes sternly sweeping the surroundings; they didn't even miss the inconspicuous, secluded corners.
From the attire these individuals wore, it was clear that they were all, without exception, high-ranking members of the Corpse Sect. The reason for their presence here was that they had just sensed an incredibly terrifying power fluctuation. The sheer intensity of this fluctuation had startled even them; they knew that some formidable master must have arrived in Corpse Ancestor City, so they immediately set aside their important matters and rushed from Corpse Ancestor Mountain to Corpse Ancestor City.
After a thorough sweep of their gazes, they found nothing but chaos, with no suspicious individuals detected. Their expressions collectively turned exceedingly grim.
As they found nothing, everyone converged one after another towards a short, stout middle-aged man. This stout middle-aged man was none other than the current Door Master of the Corpse Sect, known by the nickname Shi Weihan.
He earned this nickname because his corpse-refining techniques and corpse-controlling abilities were both exceptionally outstanding and bizarre. Often, before a corpse had even grown cold, he had already refined it into a zombie, turning it into a killing tool under his control. Over time, he acquired this nickname.
"Door Master, there's no trace of that person. However, judging by the power fluctuations emanating from this individual, they must cultivate the path of ghosts, and it's highly probable they've already entered the Ghost King realm."
A wizened old man with a face full of wrinkles respectfully said to Shi Weihan. Although this man looked very old and frail, the power fluctuations subtly emanating from his body were by no means weak. This alone was enough to tell that he was a master.
"This person hasn't just 'highly probably' entered the Ghost King realm; they have one hundred percent entered the Ghost King realm. We just don't know if they used their full power in that strike just now. Although this place was destroyed, and no living soul was left, someone nearby must have witnessed what happened here. Go and inquire; you're sure to gain a considerable amount of information."
Before Shi Weihan, the Door Master, could speak, a young woman he held in his arms spoke first, even issuing orders to the other high-ranking Corpse Sect members present.
Not only did the woman speak before Shi Weihan, the Door Master, and even give commands to the Corpse Sect's high-ranking members, but Shi Weihan showed not the slightest hint of displeasure. Instead, he smiled as he caressed the woman's slender waist. His face, which had been grim moments before, now bore an expression of pure enjoyment.
. . . . The high-ranking Corpse Sect members present did not immediately act on the woman's words. Instead, they turned their gazes to Shi Weihan. Seeing that they were not moving, Shi Weihan's expression of enjoyment vanished, replaced by an unmistakable look of displeasure.
"What are you staring for? Hurry up and do as my wife says!"
Shi Weihan rebuked them. The high-ranking Corpse Sect members immediately bowed and withdrew, though some of their expressions were not exactly pleasant.
As all the high-ranking Corpse Sect members left, Shi Weihan's hand, wrapped around the woman's waist, began to grow restless again. His large, greasy hand continuously caressed and kneaded her body, and a mischievous grin returned to his face, which drew constant coquettish laughter from the woman, and she twisted her body in full cooperation.
While this young woman couldn't be described as stunningly beautiful, she was certainly a rare beauty. Furthermore, her figure was quite good, and her foxy eyes seemed to speak, possessing a captivating magic. Every frown and smile exuded an extreme allure to the opposite sex. With all these qualities combined, even if her looks weren't absolutely flawless, her seductive power over men was equally lethal; indeed, some truly beautiful women were far less tempting than she!
It was not difficult to see that Shi Weihan had long been utterly bewitched by this woman. Otherwise, given his status, he certainly wouldn't spoil her to such an extent, or indulge her so much as to let her openly command his subordinates in his presence.
Shi Weihan's caresses elicited soft gasps from the woman, and a blush crept across her fair face. A moment later, seeing that Shi Weihan had no intention of stopping, and his movements only grew bolder, she quickly reminded him in a sweet voice.
"Darling, don't be impatient. When we get home, I'll serve you well and make sure you're fully satisfied. But this isn't a good place for us to be intimate. If others get a free show, wouldn't I suffer a great loss?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Weihan's smile vanished, and his eyes turned fierce.
"Who dares to look? Do they think this is an erotic movie, where they can just watch whenever they please? If anyone dares to even glance, I'll gouge out the eyes of their entire family!"
Although Shi Weihan spoke like this, his restless, fat hand reluctantly ceased its movements on the woman's body. Her reminder did indeed make him realize the setting was inappropriate.
The woman sensed Shi Weihan's displeasure, but she didn't take it to heart. By now, she had Shi Weihan completely wrapped around her finger, and she had plenty of ways to appease him and let him vent his anger later.
"Darling, recently people from our Corpse Sect keep going missing, and the ones disappearing are all important figures—either high-ranking members or core disciples. Do you think this might be related to the person who just appeared?"
At this moment, Shi Weihan was indeed somewhat displeased and seething with anger. If anyone else had said this to him, he wouldn't bother to respond, and might even get a harsh scolding, becoming his punching bag.
But this woman was different; he treasured her greatly. So, not only did he not get angry at her, but he responded instead.
. . . . "From the evidence we've collected, the person our Corpse Sect surrounded here today should be the culprit behind the disappearance of our high-ranking members and core disciples. Not just those who vanished recently, but ever since our Corpse Sect moved here, it's highly possible she's been secretly pulling strings behind the mysterious disappearances of everyone. However, your guess isn't without merit. Perhaps she's always had an accomplice, otherwise, with her limited strength, it would be difficult for her to run rampant under our noses for so long!"
Speaking of this, Shi Weihan's voice paused slightly, then he continued.
"This time, we spent a considerable amount of effort to capture this despicable bitch who has been secretly acting against our Corpse Sect. Successfully trapping her here was a sure-kill trap; logically, she shouldn't have been able to break through the restrictive barrier and escape. Yet precisely this impossible thing happened. This means either our intelligence was flawed and we underestimated her strength, or the Ghost King who just appeared helped her!"
Although Shi Weihan had only just arrived and hadn't witnessed what happened here firsthand, he could sense the power fluctuations in this place. He sensed it when the restrictive barrier was broken, and he also sensed the target's escape and his subordinates giving chase.
It was precisely because of this that he knew the restrictive barrier hadn't contained their target this time. However, there was a significant difference between sensing and seeing with one's own eyes; many details couldn't be discerned through sensing. So, he had no way of knowing exactly what had transpired here through sensing alone, only able to infer a rough idea.
No sooner had Shi Weihan's voice fallen than a whooshing sound suddenly broke through the air. Immediately after, a figure appeared before Shi Weihan. This person was the wizened old man with a face full of wrinkles, the same elder who had spoken before Shi Weihan earlier.
"Door Master, your subordinate has already found a witness and clarified what happened here just now!"
