What followed next as the sound of a shattering earthen jar and the sound of gushing water, as the hairpin that shot out of Yuying’s hand grazed the jar causing it to shatter and spill a large amount of water all over the floor.
Something else that flowed out when the jar shattered was a young woman who looked to be in her twenties. This woman could be described as beautiful in normal terms but couldn’t be compared to the four beauties.
Dressed in rags that barely covered her body, the young women were covered by a set of robes that Yuying withdrew from her interspatial ring.
“She’s has a level six cultivation.” Zhang said as he examined the woman’s power level.
“Stick these to the jars.” Yuying said as she began producing talismans like the one she had used earlier. There were hundreds of sealed jars but Yuying was making talismans at unbelievable speeds. Soon enough every jar had one of Yuying’s talismans stuck to them and were being engulfed by red ink that was flowing out of the talisman.
The moment all of the talismans on the jars were burned off, all of the jars were gathered and removed from the walls. When the jars were one after another, beautiful young women were showing up, of course the majority of the jars contained men but a large number of women were found also.
If the shirtless men in the cages were counted, a total of one thousand five hundred people were recovered. With their cultivation levels ranging from the lowest of five to the highest level being seven.
Once the people who were sealed away in the jars had woken up, clothes and weapons were handed out by Zhang to properly equip this new addition to his army. Unlike the men that were kept in the cages, the people who were sealed away in the jars had no idea where they were or who they were. It was as if their mind had been wiped blank by whoever sealed them away in the jars.
“Alright we’ve stayed here for long enough it’s time to move.” Zhang said to his new and old subordinates and his four lovely wives who brought along a few hundred men with them.
With the mountain of bones gone the group made their way through the massive gates and entered room even larger than the one they were in before. Countless white bones laid about as the group pressed onward.
As Zhang took the lead he noticed something atop one of the mountains of bones. It had the figure of a person, cloaked in pitch black clothes.
“Who are you! Name yourself or I’ll take it you’re one of those abominations we ran into earlier and I’ll give you a quick death.” Zhang roared at the figure atop the mountain of bones.
“Who am I? Why must I name myself when you are the guest. But I will tell you this as thanks for bringing me more sacrifices. I am the lord of the new moon; I am the man who will consume the rest of the Warring States Region.” The man cloaked in black clothes said from atop the mountain of bones.
“So you’re the provincial lord of the new moon province...” Lingqi said with eyes full of disdain and mockery.
“I am the lord of the entire region! Once my New Moon Army is recreated, nothing will be able to stop me. Ahahahaha.” The man said with a hint of madness in his voice.
“Help us! Help!” A mass of voices could be heard in the distance as the man dressed in pitch black cloths broke into hysterical laughter.
In the distance behind a few mounds of bones, were hundreds of tired up people who were sitting in the center of a gigantic magical circle.
“Shut up and accept your fate! If you’re lucky, you’ll become some of the strongest people to step foot in the Warring States Region. If you're unlucky I’ll add you to the Jiangshi horde.”
“So it was him who made the Jiangshi….” Zhang thought.
Soon the cries for help turned into screams filled with fear.
