With a loud "bang," the door flew open, allowing a chilling draft of cold air to sweep inside.
What greeted their eyes were foxes, gray rats, hedgehogs, weasels, and snakes, all clad in coarse mourning clothes and standing upright—the Five Spirits. Alongside them were female demons dressed in white paper shrouds, as well as two black-and-white palanquins that filled the open space outside the house.
This was a necromantic wedding. Apart from the two brides, Clara Ning and Serena Nie, who wore bright red phoenix crowns and gowns resembling blood, all other decorations were in black and white.
As the Grey Immortal scattered paper money, he announced, "The auspicious hour has arrived~"
"Please, let the two brides enter the palanquins!"
Serena and Clara flew out.
The black curtains of the necromantic palanquins were lifted, and the two women each slipped inside.
"Bring along our luggage and dowry!"
Voices from within the palanquins belonged to Clara and Serena.
"Certainly, my dear brides," the Grey Immortal replied in a shrill voice.
The Yellow Immortal, accompanied by several eerie female demons, approached two large trunks. He circled the trunks, his pointed nose twitching in the air, and immediately detected a pungent odor that made his eyes water.
"What a stink! What's inside here?"
The Yellow Immortal held his breath, dare not inhale the smell again, but he wanted to open the trunks to see what was inside.
Clara, with her pale hands, lifted the black curtain and sniffed, "Yellow Immortal, what's inside those trunks are a lady's belongings. How dare you look!"
The Yellow Immortal, pinching his nose with his claws, asked in confusion, "What's inside that smelling so offensive and disgusting?"
Serena also lifted the black curtain of her palanquin, her voice tinged with anger, "What's so stinky? Those are my sister's and my personal belongings. If you're not afraid of the wrath of the Pacification General and the Black Mountain Demon, feel free to open them!"
Images of the Blood Ghost Corpse Demon and the Black Mountain Demon flashed through the Yellow Immortal's mind, causing him to shiver in fear. His fur stood almost on end.
"I think I'll pass. I think I'll pass," he stammered.
"Quickly, lift the luggage and dowry of these two ladies!" the Yellow Immortal waved his claws, giving orders.
The eerie female demons beside him flickered and approached the trunks, lifting them on either side.
Ethan Shu, seated cross-legged inside one of the trunks, exhaled a sigh of relief.
He had been prepared to strike the Yellow Immortal with a thunderous blow if he dared open the trunk. Fortunately, the Yellow Immortal was as cowardly as a mouse and, intimidated by the authority of the Pacification General and the Black Mountain Demon, didn't dare open it.
The Grey Immortal raised the white paper money in his claws and shouted loudly, "Go!"
The palanquins, carried by the female demons, rocked as they made their way to the Valley of Mass Grave Lies belonging to the Black Mountain Demon.
The two necromantic palanquins followed one after the other, with the two trunks trailing behind.
The long necromantic wedding procession advanced into the night, with white paper money scattered along the way.
This necromantic wedding, with such a terrifying and bizarre scene, would have scared ordinary people to death if they had seen it.
Ethan Shu and the old monk, seated cross-legged in a smaller trunk hidden inside the larger one, patiently waited for the right moment.
In the Valley of Mass Grave Lies, the Black Mountain Demon instructed her followers to set up an illusion, transforming the eerie valley into a festive and joyous scene.
Demons and monsters from the Black Mountains arrived continuously, all coming to congratulate the Black Mountain Demon on his marriage to the two beautiful brides.
The Pacification General left his coffin and arrived in person to congratulate the Black Mountain Demon.
The Black Mountain Demon naturally thanked the Pacification General.
It was the General who had arranged the marriage between Clara and Serena and The Black Mountain Demon.
Of course, the Black Mountain Demon had promised the General significant benefits in return; otherwise, why would the General have been so kind?
Outside the Valley of Mass Grave Lies, mournful music played as a long wedding procession arrived from afar.
The Pacification General shook the blood in his skull and said in a hoarse voice, "Congratulations, brother. Your two beautiful brides have arrived."
A tree spirit, embodied in a tree root and uglily appearance, let out a piercing laugh and said, "Thanks to you, General. You've fulfilled my desires for Serena, Clara, and myself."
"Afterwards, you will receive a piece of Nine Absolute Stones of Yin, without fail!"
Upon hearing this, the Pacification General burst into laughter, feeling incredibly joyful.
With a sweep of his roomy robe, the Black Mountain Demon announced loudly, "First, escort my two beautiful brides to the bridal chamber. I will visit them shortly."
Upon hearing this, the Five Spirits immediately led the female demons in carrying the palanquins and trunks into the Black Mountain Demon's room.
The Grey Immortal said, "Ladies, we have arrived. Please come out."
Clara lifted the black curtain and flew out first.
Serena hesitated for a moment before leaving the palanquin as well.
The two trunks were also placed on the ground.
The Grey Immortal said, "Ladies, our duties here are concluded. We shall take our leave."
With that, the Grey Immortal, along with the other Four Spirits and the female demons, retreated.
Only Clara and Serena remained in the room.
"Sister…"
Serena looked at Clara with nervousness.
Clara, equally uneasy, appeared calm on the surface and said, "Don't worry, sister. Everything will be fine."
They were now in the jaws of the tiger.
It all depended on whether the two monks hidden in the trunks would be able to help.
As midnight approached, the Black Mountain Demon, seemingly slightly intoxicated after entertaining the other demons and monsters, returned to his room.
"My beautiful wives, it's your fortune to be with me in two days," he boasted.
"After I defeat the two monks at the temple on the mountaintop and unify the Black Mountains, I will target the living around the Black Mountains."
"I will perform blood sacrifices on them all to enhance my cultivation."
"By then, when my cultivation reaches three thousand years, who in the small kingdom of Yan will be my opponent?"
Clara swept off her red veil, her face as cold as frost, and said, "Dreams of fools!"
"The Black Mountain Demon, are you not afraid of the little monk and the old monk on the mountaintop coming down together to confront you?"
The Black Mountain Demon let out a deafening laugh and flicked his black robe, sneering, "A little baldie and an old baldie? How dare they?"
