Han Men’s fat body trembled, and his little eyes were full of fear, “You… you have awakened it? Do you know what you have done!”
The female voice chuckled, which sounded like an innocent charming girl, “I know. Isn’t it just an ancient corpse at Cloud Riding Stage level 3? I let it out for some air. It is so pitiful in here.”
“Let it out for some air…” Han Men shouted, “You know nothing! This is a zombie. It has no humanity and will only mindlessly kill all the living creatures it sees, including you!”
The woman was still smiling, “Isn’t it cute to be mindless?”
Han Men was furious, “Are you crazy? If you have refined the zombie puppet and can control it, that’s reasonable. You obviously can’t control it, so why are you doing this!”
The woman was still smiling, but her words sent a chill down one’s spine, “Because Ming He is here… She is so powerful, and I can’t beat her. If she doesn’t die, how can I get the zombie puppet?”
“If she dies and you fail to control the zombie puppet, the land hundreds of miles around will become a deadland!”
“So what? Why should I care?”
Han Men shouted, and a violent lightning struck the dark place at the end of the corridor.
A cold aura spread, completely melting away his lightning.
The tremor inside the door became more obvious.
Han Men discovered that the opponent’s strength was similar to his, so he no longer wanted to fight. He ran away, shouting, “Excuse me for not keeping you company!”
“A smart and timid little mouse.” A woman slowly appeared in the darkness. She was covered in black gauze. Her slim figure seemed to be naked under the thin gauze, but her body wasn’t exposed at all. She turned out to be a charming girl. She was only nineteen years old at most. Although her face was charming, it looked pale and bloodless. Her eyes seemed to contain a hint of playfulness, but deeper down there was an ice-like indifference and desolation.
The most eye-catching feature was a black flame mark on her forehead, which flickered in the darkness. A ghostly aura lingered around it as if there was a cry of ghosts.
She raised her head slightly, seemingly looking in the direction of Ming He and Qin Yi.
“The First Hall of the Celestial Pivot Heaven Palace, Senior Sister Ming He. Hee hee…” She whispered to herself, “The compassion of immortality? Let’s see if you will escape for your life or risk your life to protect the people here? Everyone for themselves, so who is righteous and who is evil?”
As she said, her figure disappeared into the dark shadow.
…
Ming He had completely purified Qing Xu’s iron zombie, but she wasn’t relieved at all. Instead, she stared in the direction of the tremor with great solemnity.
A yellow meat ball rolled over from the distance, “Run! The original master of this place is about to wake up! At least we can’t fight him in this cave house. We have to lead him outside.”
Ming He shook her head slightly, “I can’t leave… Once we leave, it will not feel any trace of living people in the cave house, and it will definitely absorb the vitality from the leyline. At least all living things within a hundred miles will be exterminated. You go first. Someone has to stay to lead it out.”
After saying that, she took out a set of flags from the ring and began to set up an array, seemingly determined to stop the ancient corpse here.
Han Men was stunned for a moment, then he stamped his feet and said, “Fine, you guys have the power. I will leave.”
Ming He closed her eyes, cast the spell, and said, “Qin Yi also leaves.”
Han Men had already turned around and ran away.
Qin Yi grabbed him and said, “Wait, you know the details here, right?”
Han Men seems to understand this situation, and Ming He seems to have figured it out, but I still know nothing about the situation. How can I let him go without getting a clear answer?
Han Men paused and said, “I was originally a rat in this cave house. This was my former residence! I went out for a few years, but when I came back, the place was occupied by Qing Xu. How could I not know the details of this place?”
“…I see.” Qin Yi said, “Is this ancient corpse very strong?”
Han Men said, “This cultivator still had an obsession when he died, so a trace of true spirit was preserved, which could turn him into a zombie. He anticipated this when he was dying, so he designed a fully enclosed tomb to isolate the external aura. Even if he absorbed leyline and became a zombie, he would never wake up… But something unexpected happened…”
He paused and said helplessly, “At that time, I absorbed the immortal aura that emanated from his death and turned it into a beastkin. I couldn’t stay still, so I bit open the sealed door, got out, and enjoyed my life…”
Qin Yi, “…”
Han Men added, “Actually, it was nothing. I could come back and block the hole later. But when I thought about it, I found that someone had already occupied this place. Once outsiders intervene, it will be different. Especially those who want to refine the zombie puppet with ulterior motives…”
Qin Yi understood the whole story now, “So you attracted outsiders to get rid of Qing Xu, and then you went to the master’s place to try to solve the problem?”
“Yes, originally I thought the enemy was only Qing Xu. You guys could just hold him back for me. However, I just found out that there is someone behind all these…”
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Is there any point in hiding it?”
“Tell you earlier? What if you are also interested in the ancient corpse or his tomb treasure?”
Qin Yi, “…”
Han Men said helplessly, “In fact, neither Qing Xu nor the person behind the scene can enter his tomb. They communicate with the ancient corpse through my rat hole. I only need to block the hole. But it’s already too late. The ancient corpse has been awakened in advance.”
Before he finished speaking, a dry hand penetrated through the right wall.
The palm just passed through the position where Qing Xu’s iron zombie was leaning, piercing the head into pieces.
Han Men turned around and ran away. After a chain of lightning, he had already disappeared.
Ming He sat cross-legged in the array and said faintly, “Tao Friend, please leave too. This is the ancient corpse at the Cloud Riding Stage. I can’t protect you.”
Of course, Qin Yi is not the annoying guy in the drama who would say “I won’t leave until you leave”. He knew that he couldn’t intervene in the battle of the Cloud Riding Stage. Staying here would only put Ming He in danger, so he quickly exited the corridor.
“Roar!” A dry corpse wearing a taoist robe broke through the wall and rushed toward Ming He.
The moment the dry corpse appeared, Qin Yi’s spiritual force seemed to be drained instantly. He could not gather any spiritual force. He could not even release a small basic spell.
Before he could ask Liu Su, the array flags set up by Ming He were falling as if withered. The array had lost its effect. The claws of the zombie thrust toward Ming He. Ming He wanted to dodge with an illusion spell, but she couldn’t seem to be able to move. There was no hint of shock in his eyes. She gestured a sword seal, and the divine sword automatically protected its master, clashing hard with the zombie claws.
There was smoke rising from the zombie hand, but Ming He also looked pale.
Liu Su said hurriedly, “This is leyline that has been defiled by the yin zombie aura, so spells are banned in this place!”
Qin Yi looked at Ming He’s calm expression from a distance. Did she expect this situation?
TL: No spell? Even Qin Yi is stronger than her, or maybe Ming He has a plan?
