Sha Sha's mother was from the barbarian tribe, and her father was from Huaxia, which was enough to explain her special identity!
In the barbarian temples, compared to the Black God who often appeared, the White God was more mysterious and special.
Since the Black God could choose an agent, the White God would surely make the same choice.
As for the White God's purpose, Ye Kunlun was still unaware.
Ye Kunlun withdrew his thoughts, glanced at Sha Sha, gently patted her shoulders twice, and silently dispelled the white power around her.
"Go in!"
Sha Sha's delicate body trembled slightly, and she nodded.
The two walked into the temple.
On the black temple door, the tomb-guarding beast had become dim and lusterless. It was clear that Ye Kunlun had destroyed its soul last night, and then it disappeared!
However, upon entering the temple, Ye Kunlun's expression became surprised.
The interior of the temple was very different from last night.
The surrounding corpses were gone, making the place dim and damp, exuding an ancient aura.
In the dimness to the right front, a series of sinister passages appeared.
The two followed the passages downwards for about ten minutes, finally reaching the depths of the temple.
The scene was also different from last night. Ye Kunlun did not see the peculiar black and white ancient tree.
In the center of the vast space, a stone altar appeared. On the altar lay a giant black skull.
The black skull still had some tattered cloth strips and offerings on it, emitting a foul odor.
Ye Kunlun immediately felt disgusted. He glanced at Sha Sha and saw that she stood expressionlessly to the side.
Ye Kunlun looked around but found no useful clues.
Ye Kunlun calmed his mind and directly released his spiritual sense, probing into the depths of the temple.
Indeed, he discovered an entrance beneath the altar, which was likely the strange space where he had encountered the Black God yesterday.
Ye Kunlun walked towards the altar.
"Hoo—"
At this moment, Sha Sha behind him made a strange sound from her throat again.
Ye Kunlun raised an eyebrow and looked back at Sha Sha.
Her body trembled slightly, and white thread-like energy was gradually controlling her.
"Sha Sha!"
Ye Kunlun shouted sternly, his voice like a thunderclap echoing in Sha Sha's sea of consciousness.
"I... Sir..."
Sha Sha shivered and snapped back to reality, "I just seemed to have seen a tree, a strange black and white tree, and also a white shadow!"
Sha Sha's eyes showed confusion and fear.
"Sir, do you... do you sense anything familiar about the aura on this skull, and the clothes he's wearing?"
Sha Sha pointed at the skull on the altar, her voice trembling slightly.
Ye Kunlun did indeed feel a sense of familiarity but didn't think much of it. With Sha Sha's reminder, Ye Kunlun suddenly remembered something.
He turned his head to look at the black skull again. The decaying clothes on it seemed to be—the Northern Frontier King's!
That's right, the clothes, which had likely decayed for a long time, were the very ones the Northern Frontier King had worn not long ago!
There was also a faint aura of the Northern Frontier King on the black skull, even though that trace of aura had been swallowed by the power of decay.
"How did the Northern Frontier King end up like this?" Ye Kunlun frowned slightly.
Although his sword strike had not killed the Northern Frontier King, who was controlled by the Black God, it shouldn't have turned him into a black skeleton.
Before Ye Kunlun could figure out the reason.
The eyes of the skull, which was the Northern Frontier King, suddenly ignited with black flames.
The next second.
*Crackle—*
The skull's arms and neck moved, and it slowly rose under the gaze of Ye Kunlun and Sha Sha.
The fear in Sha Sha's eyes had dissipated, returning to her initial calmness.
"Sir, could it really be the Northern Frontier King?"
"Perhaps!"
Ye Kunlun said calmly. He didn't know why the Northern Frontier King had become this monstrous.
But it no longer mattered. For now, he had to deal with this skeletal Northern Frontier King.
*Crackle—*
The black skull suddenly took a step and charged towards Ye Kunlun.
Ye Kunlun let out a cold snort and charged towards the skull as well, instantly appearing before it.
The Thunder Blade condensed in his hand. Without any hesitation, he directly cleaved the skull's head.
*Clang—*
Ye Kunlun's eyes widened in surprise. The skull had blocked his Thunderous Blade, not even leaving a trace.
The black skull's movements did not stop. Its black skeletal arms directly lunged towards Ye Kunlun's heart.
*Swish—*
Ye Kunlun's speed was extremely fast, making it impossible for it to harm him.
The skull was cumbersome, but its attack power was astonishing, and its speed was also incredibly fast.
Ye Kunlun dodged, and it transformed into a black lightning bolt, pursuing him closely.
Ye Kunlun dared not be careless. In a moment, he had guessed that the skull's weakness should be the black flames burning in its eyes.
Ye Kunlun dodged the black skull's attack again and simultaneously unleashed two punches.
The fist winds directly struck the skull's ankles.
The skull lost its balance and stumbled forward.
"Lightning, come!"
Ye Kunlun whispered. Two bolts of lightning descended from the void, illuminating the dim temple. The terrifying power of the lightning expelled the decay within the temple.
The next second, the lightning struck directly towards the skull's eye sockets.
*Sizzle—*
The black flames met the terrifying lightning, emitting a piercing sizzle.
The bones of the skull creaked and shook incessantly, as if they might fall apart at any moment.
"I... This King... This King is favored by God. I am not reconciled..."
Within the black flames, the Northern Frontier King's last trace of consciousness was hidden!
He roared unwillingly, knowing that the black flames were completely consumed by the lightning.
*Crash—*
The black skull turned into a pile of dry bones. The Northern Frontier King had completely vanished.
Ye Kunlun's expression was stern. Becoming the Black God's agent, or rather, a puppet, was the Northern Frontier King's own choice!
From the moment he made that choice, his fate was sealed.
Ye Kunlun put away the Thunder Blade and walked onto the altar.
He was looking for a way to open the altar, as only through the altar could he enter that strange space where the black and white ancient tree grew.
"Sir, I seem to have been here when I was a child."
Sha Sha stepped forward, a memory flashing in her mind.
"Have you remembered something?" Ye Kunlun looked up at her.
Sha Sha had told him before that she had come to the temple, but the memories of the temple had vanished the moment she left.
Sha Sha said nothing and walked onto the altar.
She now held a dagger that gleamed with a cold light in her hand.
Without hesitation, Sha Sha gripped the dagger and cut open her palm. Blood dripped onto the altar!
Ye Kunlun watched quietly, making no move to stop her.
*Drip—*
*Drip—*
As more and more blood flowed out, the altar beneath Sha Sha and Ye Kunlun suddenly vibrated.
*Creak creak creak—*
The altar began to rotate slightly, as if a mysterious ritual had been activated.
*Whoosh—*
Ye Kunlun felt that sensation of weightlessness again. The altar beneath him disappeared, and his surroundings became a void!
