Start building the foundation: What is the Southern Xinjiang Corpse Puppet?

Chapter 241 Black Witch and White Witch

"Fellow Daoist Luo, this witch priest clan is truly special." After entering the barrier, Si Qianning was stunned by the scenery in front of him. Unlike the lush greenery outside, inside the barrier was a stretch of continuous snow-capped mountains.

Such a polarized scene not only surprised Si Qianning, but even Bai Yue and Ling Wanran were amazed.

"There is an ice spirit mine at the foot of Wuji Mountain." Luo Shan replied to them via voice transmission.

When the three heard about the Ice Spirit Mine, they all understood.

Several people followed the old man and saw many women and male monks wearing exquisite short-sleeved robes.

There were also some playful children, circling around the four people, curiously asking about the identities of the old man, Luo Shan and others.

The old man did not say anything, but touched the children's heads and took out a strange-shaped spiritual fruit from a black cloth bag:

"These are all guests. Don't crowd around. I'll take them to see the clan leader. You guys should practice well."

The old man in the late Jindan stage spoke kindly, and then continued to lead Luo Shan and others to a snow house.

But before they reached the igloo, they saw an old woman and an old man walking out of the igloo with ugly looks on their faces.

“Cang Hai, the black witches actually went to the Holy Mountain! They want to pollute the Holy Mountain!” The old woman in white robe spoke with a heavy tone.

"What!" Canghai, the late Jindan cultivator who led Luo Shan and the other three, was shocked.

"Priest, what is going on?"

The old woman, who was also the priestess of the White Witch, did not speak, but looked at Luo Shan and the others.

"People from the Corpse Puppet Tribe?" They, the Bai Wu, had no dealings with the Corpse Puppet Tribe, so what was the other party's purpose in coming to the Bai Wu?

Canghai repeated what Luo Shan had said before, his tone solemn:

"If the Western Region cannot be defended, I am afraid that our Wuji clan will not be able to stay here safely."

Canghai felt that the Baiwu had been living in a corner for so long, it was time for them to leave. After all, it had been so long since what happened, and it was time for their Wuji clan to pay off the sins they had committed.

If it weren't for those years, how could their Wuji clan be divided into two factions? The original three-way confrontation in southern Xinjiang became dominated by the Corpse Puppet Clan and the Gu Clan?

"Let's put this matter aside for now. The most important thing now is to stop the black witch from polluting the Holy Mountain." The old woman said to Luo Shan:

"Dear guests, I have some important matters to attend to. Please stay with my Wuji clan for a few days."

As the old woman spoke, she whispered something, then her eyes sharpened and she looked towards the village not far away.

Soon, a man wearing the tribal costume of the witch priest tribe came running from a distance.

"Priest, what do you want me to do for you?"

The old woman looked at Luo Shan and said, "I have some important matters to take care of these days. Please take good care of these young friends." As the old woman spoke, she glanced at Luo Shan and the others. The young man nodded when he saw this.

Afterwards, the high priest, the old man and the other two disappeared instantly.

The young man looked at Luo Shan, touched his head, smiled embarrassedly, and his expression was very honest:

"Come with me, I will take you to where you live first."

The young man's gaze lingered on Ling Wanran and Bai Yue for a while. After all, these two were too beautiful, one as pretty as a peach, the other handsome and elegant.

However, there was no distracting thought in this look, and the two did not feel offended. Instead, they had a very good impression of the witch priest Bai Wu.

"Bai Wu is indeed more kind, that's why I brought you here." Luo San transmitted the message to the few people.

"If we had gone to the witch priest territory, I'm afraid we would have unknowingly become other people's training tools." Luo San said, and reiterated the relationship between the White Witch and Black Witch tribes.

"A long time ago, there were no black witches or white witches. They were all called the Wuji Clan. But at some point, the Wuji Clan got a book of evil magic that could absorb the luck of others to strengthen themselves. Such magic was naturally against the laws of nature, so the Wuji Clan soon suffered a backlash."

"Of course, there are also some who did not practice the evil magic. They and the witch priests who practiced the evil magic were divided into two factions, which are now the White Witches and the Black Witches."

"Because the black witches suffered a backlash, they were trapped on the other side of the Ice Soul Snow Peak by the God-Transforming Mage. Even with the Ice Spirit Mine providing a constant supply of spiritual power, those black witches have not been able to break the barrier so far."

"And the White Witch is here to guard the Black Witch clan."

But looking at the white wizard priest just now, it seems that those black wizards are already showing signs of breaking through the barrier.

If that's the case...

Luo Shan gave Ling Wanran a complicated look. Fellow Daoist Ling's luck was truly frightening.

Just as he thought, Luo Shan felt the ground beneath his feet began to shake violently.

"Oh no, something's wrong with the barrier." The young man leading the way didn't care about Luo San and the other three. He sped up and ran towards where the villagers were.

Many villagers sensed it and looked up, looking in the direction of the holy mountain in panic.

"Something happened, something happened on the Holy Mountain!"

"It's the black witches, they're coming again!"

"Why is the earthquake so severe this time? Will the barrier fail to hold up?"

"Impossible. The priest has calculated that the Holy Mountain can at least last for a few hundred years."

"But why is it so serious, priest?"

"Everyone be quiet, the priest, the clan leader and Elder Canghai have all gone to the holy mountain, don't panic." The young man ran into the crowd and calmed the panic of the villagers.

“The priests went to the Holy Mountain?”

Hearing that the priests, clan leaders and others had already gone to the holy mountain, everyone's expressions were not so ugly anymore.

"Yes, the priests and the clan leaders will definitely be able to protect everyone."

The young man spoke affirmatively, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Luo Shan and the other three walking towards him, so he changed the subject by introducing Luo Shan and the others.

"These four people are guests from outside. They will stay in the tribe for a few days and arrange things after the priest comes back."

"Coming from outside?"

"What a handsome young man."

"These girls are pretty, too."

Everyone looked at Luo Shan and others. They were first shocked by their unique attire, and then by their appearance.

However, they quickly recognized Luo Shan's identity as a member of the Corpse Puppet Tribe. After all, anyone with sufficient knowledge could see the white jade coffin around his waist.

"From the Corpse Puppet Tribe?"

Although Luo Shan's appearance was not as good as the other three, the white jade coffin of the Corpse Puppet Tribe still attracted more attention of the White Witches.

"He is actually a foundation-building cultivator. He is indeed a cultivator from the Southern Xinjiang Corpse Puppet Tribe."

"The clothes of those three people don't look like those of our Southern Border. They should be cultivators from other regions."

Everyone looked at the four people curiously. Of course, the one they looked at the most was Luo San.

Most of them have never left the Wuji clan since birth, so many things are rumors heard from the clan members who have been outside.
