Chapter 1112 - 802: The Blood King’s Queen?! (Part 2)
He used the bloodline to sense the surrounding energy fluctuations, simulating the veins of the formation.
After several attempts, Shen Li successfully found the most crucial formation eye and immediately joined forces with Xiao Jin and Lu Xiao to break the formation in one move.
The oasis disappeared.
In front of them appeared a desolate desert.
The place where the lake was located had turned into a huge crater, filled with earth mounds resembling tombs. It looked eerily sinister.
Then, a more terrifying scene unfolded.
Those tombs suddenly began to move, with skeletal hands stretching out from the soil, followed by heads, bodies... countless skeletons dressed in armor crawled out!
Their eye sockets glowed red, glaring at the intruders, their bodies wrapped in a vicious aura, appearing fiercely intimidating.
Shen Li, Xiao Jin, and Lu Xiao all changed color, instinctively shielding the females behind them, ready for a battle to erupt.
However, unexpectedly, those skeleton soldiers suddenly restrained their aura, and then—they all saluted them!
More precisely, they saluted Su Jiu, whose eyes glowed with an ominous red light, spoke in a gravelly voice, "Young Priest... You... You have returned..."
"We have slept in this place for a millennium, never imagining that we could see you again, to see the bloodline of the Priest Clan again..."
"When Young Priest left back then, you were still a bundled infant, and now, so many years have passed, you are even older than the High Priest then..."
"Young Priest and the High Priest look so alike, for a moment, I thought the High Priest had returned..."
Those skeletal warriors seemed to come back to life, chattering, "This is wonderful... We have fulfilled the elders’ expectations, waited here for a thousand years, finally waiting for you."
Su Jiu’s tone was complex, "Are you the Blood Clan who died in the great battle back then?"
"Yes, in that great battle, almost all the Blood Clan died. We were the strongest warriors of the Blood Clan, with the firmest will, even after death, wanting to protect the ancestral land... Later, the High Priest used his last strength to leave our final obsession, so our skeletons would forever guard the ancestral land, waiting for the day it sees the sun once more..."
Their eye sockets burned crimson, speaking excitedly, "As long as you are alive, as long as the Blood Clan lineage is not completely severed, there is hope for the Blood Clan’s revival. We waited a thousand years; it was all worth it."
Su Jiu looked at these skeletal guards, her eyes red and filled with tears.
She knew these Blood Clan warriors had died long ago; what remained in these bones was merely a strand of their unresolved obsession from back then.
"Please tell me, what can I do to save the Blood Clan?"
The skeleton soldiers shook their heads, "We don’t know either, we are but souls long dead, only keeping this shred of consciousness through a special secret technique, with many of our memories lost... We only remember to guard the clan land, waiting for the Blood Clan’s descendants to return. As for the rest, we don’t know."
"However, the High Priest and elders must have left many things in the clan land. Once you enter the ancestral land, everything should become clear."
Shen Tang asked, "Then how can one enter the clan land?"
As soon as those words were spoken, the gaze of the skeletal guards suddenly focused on her, the red glow in their eyes intensified.
Shen Tang’s heart skipped, even suspecting if she had said something wrong.
Being stared at by so many skeleton figures, she felt her scalp prickling, wanting to say something to ease the awkwardness when suddenly, those skeleton soldiers fell to their knees, loudly proclaiming—
"Greetings, Queen Your Majesty!"
Shen Tang was dumbfounded, what’s going on?
Shen Li, Xiao Jin, and Lu Xiao were also stunned, doubting whether they had heard correctly.
Those skeletal soldiers were even more excited, "Heavens, we were blind, failed to recognize Queen Your Majesty!"
"Too excited seeing Young Priest earlier, neglected to notice Queen Your Majesty, it’s our crime. We beg forgiveness from Queen Your Majesty."
Shen Tang’s lip twitched, "Wait... did you mistake me for someone else?"
"Definitely not! You bear the mark left by our king—it’s a soul mark branded with deep affection, only given by the Blood King to his companion! With this mark, you are our Queen, as if the Blood King himself is present."
Shen Tang was completely stunned, what companion mark? Why has she never known about this?
Su Jiu, however, suddenly thought of something, "Let me see."
A hint of blood aura appeared in her palm, landed on Shen Tang.
On Shen Tang’s left neck side, a crimson rose mark emerged!
Su Jiu realized, "No wonder when I first saw you, there was a familiar feeling from you, previously I thought it was because of Li’er with you, didn’t expect you bore the partner mark of the Royal Family."
Su Jiu was equally shocked, not knowing what had happened before, but recalling Shen Tang previously mentioned that Blood Clan acquaintance, perhaps there was some story between them.
This daughter-in-law of hers was indeed extraordinary.
To know that each Blood Clan Royal was prideful and strong, to make a Blood King willingly leave a partner mark, it must be from true love! Undying!

Shen Tang touched the side of her burning neck, feeling the existence of the mark, her heart shaken.
Regaining her composure, she spoke in a complex tone, "This was left by Necro, when did he leave it?"
The dog system was also confused, [I’m not too sure either. Although I can monitor the host’s body condition, that guy’s power back then exceeded the host tremendously, if he truly wanted to do something secretly, it would be tough for me to detect in time.]
[Perhaps when the host was disguising as Xiao Cui Hua, he sneakily left it? Humph, that pervert is indeed cunning! The host never agreed to him, yet he directly claimed the host as his own. Too domineering! Too bad!]
Those skeleton soldiers, seeing the mark on Shen Tang’s neck, were even more excited, collectively shouted "Greetings to the Queen" "Long live the Queen."
The fact was laid bare, Shen Tang simply couldn’t argue against it.
The faces of the Beast Husbands darkened like a pot bottom.
Xiao Jin cursed angrily, "What Queen or not, keep your eyes wide open, Tangtang is not a Blood Clan person! Who knows where some roadside dog bit for this mark, doesn’t count."
Lu Xiao’s face soured, grabbed Shen Tang’s hand, coldly staring at the mark on her neck, the usual calm temperament barely held back!
His female master, his king, how could she become the queen of the Blood Clan?
Absolutely not.
He would never agree!
Shen Li, initially having felt a bit sorry for some long-dead distant relative, now thought better him dead early, otherwise he would surely have butchered that scoundrel himself!
Dare to target his female, even dying a hundred times would be too lenient!
