“I’ve heard a little,” Ye Qingtang said softly as she gingerly walked across the Pagoda of the Dead .
“The Holy Lord of Shadows was supremely powerful in Central Mainland . She commanded millions of Undead, and all the clans in the mainland bowed to her . Miss Ye… if you want the Undead of the Temple of Shadows to believe that you are the Holy Lord, you need to imitate her attitude and behavior . The Holy Lord of Shadows is not as easy-going a mistress as Miss Ye . ”
“I am now in the Pagoda of the Dead . What am I supposed to do?” Ye Qingtang vaguely understood Ling Yan’s meaning, but it did not apply to her current situation .
“The Pagoda of the Dead is a sacred pagoda in the Temple of Shadows . Millions of souls are gathered within it . Every so often, the Holy Lord of Shadows needs to release some of these twisted souls and pray for blessings for the entire Clan of the Undead . Miss Ye only needs to walk to the top of the pagoda and sing the incantation of the Undead at the altar,” said Ling Yan .
“What incantation?” The nearer she got to the top of the pagoda, the more Ye Qingtang felt worried .
Ling Yan was quiet for a moment . Then, he sang an obscure incantation of the Undead .
Ye Qingtang had never come across this incantation of the Undead . Even with Ling Yan smoothly singing it in her ear, it sounded very foreign .
However…
She had already arrived at the top of the Pagoda of the Dead and was standing next to the altar .
At the bottom of the Pagoda of the Dead, Ming Wang and the other tribe leaders were closely following Ye Qingtang’s every move .
With Ling Yan continually repeating the incantation, Ye Qingtang finally memorized some of it . She somewhat awkwardly imitated the incantation that Ling Yan had spoken and sang the incantation of release .
As Ye Qingtang sang, numerous black shadows suddenly poured out of the altar . The black shadows wailed continually . They coiled upwards as if they were enclosed in a whirlwind and rose towards the ceiling of the Hall of Gloom .
The wailing of the souls reverberated through the entire hall .
However, at that moment, Ming Wang’s eyes narrowed slightly .
Something was amiss .
As millions of souls were released, their wails echoed in his ears for a long time before slowly dissipating . The souls seemed to vanish in the darkness .
“Miss Ye, you can go down now . ”
With that, Ye Qingtang climbed down the Pagoda of the Dead .
Ming Wang was expressionless . His gaze swept across Ye Qingtang’s face, and he said, “Holy Lord, you must be tired after we have troubled you to conduct the ritual today . ”
Ye Qingtang felt as if she had just had a brush with death . If not for Ling Yan, she would have been completely exposed .
After the ritual ended, Ye Qingtang went back to her sleeping chambers .
As Ye Qingtang left, many Undead also left the Hall of Gloom . Only the tribe leaders, elders, guardians, Ming Gu, and Ming Wang remained behind .
“This Holy Lord is probably an impostor…” The leader of the Goblin Tribe swept a look at all the Undead present as he spoke .
The leader of the Demon Tribe also frowned . “I think she is most likely a fake . When she sang the incantation just now, it was clearly different from how she sang it previously . ”
They felt that the Holy Lord’s sudden return was suspicious . Now, although Ye Qingtang had followed the rituals and completed them in a satisfactory manner, there were many differences compared to how the Holy Lord had completed the rituals in the past .
“I remember that the Holy Lord used to fly to the top of the pagoda . This is the first time I have seen her walk up step by step…” Lady Ghost said with a soft laugh .
“The incantation was also rather jerky . It was completely unlike the Holy Lord’s cold and arrogant air,” the leader of the Demon Tribe said with a frown .
