108: Chapter 109 Prophecy: The Demon Emperor Will Die!
As soon as these words were spoken, not only the Corpse Raiser, but even General Qin Feng, Lieutenant General Zhao Weiguo, and Ling Tian were shocked!
Ling Tian knew about Xia Youchu's Rebirth, but he hadn't expected her to dare say it so directly!
Although she used "seeing the future" as a cover, these words were still shocking enough!
The Corpse Raiser's expression visibly froze for a moment.
Two scarlet points of light stared fixedly at Xia Youchu, as if they wanted to see through her completely from inside out.
"Peering into the future? This is a great taboo of heaven and earth. Little girl, do you know the consequences of speaking recklessly?"
His voice carried a hint of gravity.
Even at his Realm, he could only judge the future through speculation; he could not directly see the clear path of the future.
Xia Youchu met his gaze calmly: "Whether it is true or false, Fellow Daoist can judge for yourself. Perhaps I cannot foresee everything, but regarding the whereabouts of some... high-quality corpse sources, I am quite certain."
The Corpse Raiser fell silent.
He did indeed feel something unusual about this young girl. Although her strength was very weak right now, that Aura indeed gave the feeling of communicating with someone of the same generation!
Perhaps... did she really know something?
Or could it be that she was actually some old monster's Reincarnation?
After a long while, the Corpse Raiser spoke slowly. His voice returned to its previous indifference, but that deadly sense of oppression quietly dissipated by more than half.
"Let me see your sincerity."
Xia Youchu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, knowing she had won the first step of the gamble.
She composed her thoughts and said calmly:
"One year. One year from now, the current Yao Race Emperor of the Peng Clan, the Golden-Winged Roc—Jin Wuji, will fall."
"His complete Yao Race Emperor corpse, containing pure Sun True Fire and the Golden-Winged Roc's speed Origin, is supreme Materials for refining top-tier War Corpses."
"If Fellow Daoist is interested, I can inform you of the place where he will fall. At that time, you can go and collect it yourself. Of course, the payment must not be lacking."
Silence!
Everyone was so shocked by Xia Youchu's words that their souls nearly left their bodies!
A Peng Clan Yao Race Emperor! A Golden-Winged Roc!
That was a veteran Yao Race Emperor who had dominated the Yao Race, shook the heavens, and lived for who knows how many tens of thousands of years!
His strength was unfathomable!
She actually said... he would definitely die in one year?!
And she did so so casually, wanting to sell a Yao Race Emperor's corpse as Materials to the Corpse Raiser before them?!
Mad! She must be mad!
General Qin Feng and Lieutenant General Zhao Weiguo felt their worldviews had been overturned!
They were still worrying about the friction between the Human Race and the Peng Clan at the border, yet Xia Youchu was already discussing the life and death of a Yao Race Emperor and the ownership of his corpse with a terrifying existence?!
This is too exaggerated!
Ling Tian's mouth also twitched. Good grief. This pooper-scooper is even more ruthless at acting cool than I am! However... I like it!
"Jin Wuji... will fall?"
The Corpse Raiser's voice carried a hint of disbelief.
"Little girl, do you know what kind of existence Jin Wuji is? A revered Yao Race Emperor, living as long as heaven and earth, how could he fall so easily?! Especially within one year?!"
He stared fixedly at Xia Youchu, attempting to find a trace of lying on her face.
But Xia Youchu's expression was terrifyingly calm; deep within those clear eyes, there was only a sense of indifference that saw through everything.
"He is not dead now."
Xia Youchu nodded, then her tone became iron-clad, "But in one year, he must die."
"If he does not die, I will slay him with my own hands!"
Upon hearing this, the entire scene fell into dead silence again.
Too arrogant!
The confidence and dominance in those words were simply about to pierce through the sky!
It was as if the life and death of a Yao Race Emperor were just an item on a schedule in her mouth!
The Corpse Raiser fell silent.
He had lived for far too long, and had seen countless Geniuses, Prodigies, and overlords, but like the young girl before him, with meager cultivation, daring to so confidently predict the death date of a Yao Race Emperor and use his corpse as a bargaining chip—she was definitely the first!
Either she was a complete lunatic. Or... she really possessed some kind of incredible secret!
Combining the space-time fluctuations on her body and that strange War Beast... the Corpse Raiser was more inclined toward the latter.
Risk and opportunity coexist.
A complete Yao Race Emperor corpse, especially one with a top-tier Bloodline like the Golden-Winged Roc, was too tempting for him!
It was enough to make the strength of his War Corpse legion skyrocket!
Even if there was only a one-in-ten-thousand chance, it was worth him investing a little patience.
The darkness slowly subsided. The Corpse Raiser's blurry phantom stabilized once again, and his scarlet gaze fell upon Xia Youchu.
"Very well... you have successfully piqued my interest."
"I can spare you all, and the losses of this Corpse Raising Ground will be written off."
"But, one year from now, if I do not obtain Jin Wuji's corpse... or if the information is incorrect..."
He did not continue, but the air that had suddenly grown colder by a few degrees made everyone understand the consequences.
Xia Youchu's expression remained unchanged, and she said calmly: "At that time, Fellow Daoist can come and find me yourself. I presume that with your abilities, finding me will not be difficult."
"Hmph, I hope your confidence is worthy of your arrogance." The Corpse Raiser snorted coldly.
The next moment, the absolute darkness that had shrouded the world receded like a tide. The shattered earth began to mend itself automatically, as if time were flowing backward. That suffocating, terrifying will also disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.
The sky returned to the Secret Realm's original dim light. Everything felt like an illusion.
Only Ling Tian's massive body, the Peak Yuan Spirit Nine-Star Aura on Xia Youchu, and the lingering fear in everyone's hearts proved that everything that had just happened was real.
The confinement disappeared. The new recruits collapsed to the ground, gasping for air, their bodies soaked in cold sweat.
Platoon Leader Sun Hu sat on the ground with a thud, looking at Xia Youchu as if he were looking at a deity.
General Qin Feng and Lieutenant General Zhao Weiguo also broke free from the spatial cage; the two exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
They... seemed to have witnessed a transaction that surpassed their level of understanding?! Xia Youchu... who exactly was she?!
