Come, Come, Kneel Beside Me

Within the imperial city.

Countless zombies roam the city streets and alleys. They are bloodthirsty and brutal, killing anyone they see. Not only that, they can also assimilate people into zombies.

Therefore.

The number has increased dramatically.

It has already reached a point where it is out of control.

Within the imperial city, countless high-ranking officials and nobles reside, and many sects and forces from the Azure Heaven Realm Sky Realm also remain in the city, managing to contend with the zombies.

However, the number is simply astonishing.

Moreover, among hundreds of zombies, there will often be one that is very difficult to deal with, comparable to a martial artist with a cultivation level of seven or eight.

Even though there are many cultivators in the Azure Heaven Realm, some are still unable to withstand the onslaught.

"Master! There are too many zombies!"

"Master! This whole street is full of them too!"

On the main street, an elder of the Black and Yellow Sect was leading dozens of disciples in a bloody battle. The Black and Yellow Sect's strength was second only to the Ten Thousand Swords Valley.

Only.

By this time, casualties had already been heavy.

The old man with the sword roared, "Charge out of the east gate! Give the people of the city a chance to escape!"

"Good!"

Much later.

When the old man with the sword led his few remaining disciples to the east gate, he was saddened to find that a Grandmaster wielding two axes was already waiting for them there.

"Sir, you are not leaving this imperial city today. You'd better stay here obediently. Just a friendly reminder, if you don't want to become food for these zombies, you'd better surrender."

"Yang Lie? You're Grandmaster under the Carefree King? Is the Carefree King plotting a rebellion?"

The old man with the sword roared angrily.

"The prince will soon ascend the throne and become emperor. It's not too late for you to surrender now."

"Bah! To obtain the throne through such cruel means, I wonder if the Carefree King can sit on it securely?" The old man with the sword sneered.

"How dare you!"

Yang Lie, on the other side, was immediately enraged and leaped into the air.

He swung his double axes down.

The old man holding the sword suddenly changed his expression, and his Sword Qi surged.

The next moment.

The old man was cleaved in two by Yang Lie.

Blood poured down like a torrential rain.

It was incredibly bloody.

This old man was only at the peak of the Ninth Rank, so naturally he couldn't withstand Yang Lie, a Grandmaster- level expert.

Yang Lie was arguably the most ruthless general under the care of the Carefree King, and was known for his cruelty.

Yang Lie is guarding the east gate.

The situation at the other three city gates is also not optimistic.

Even without a ruthless figure like Yang Lie in charge.

However, there were also a few creatures covered in white fur, resembling zombie kings, lingering around.

These zombie kings are only at the Ninth Rank in individual combat strength, but when they unite, they can stand up to Grandmaster.

The Old Man Ghost Cry, proudly admired his masterpiece, a broad smile on his face, "These are all top-quality corpses that I personally selected with great care! Their power is truly extraordinary! Hahahaha!"

"Senior, hundreds of Ninth Rank experts suddenly attacked from the West City, and with the command of those Grandmaster from Ten Thousand Swords Valley, they have completely retaken the West City!"

Suddenly someone reported this.

The Old Man Ghost Cry shifted his gaze and said, "It's alright. It must be the Golden Leaf Rice Seeds. It can mass-produce Ninth Rank experts. It's really powerful. But they don't have enough time. These hundreds of Ninth Rank should be the limit. With them, they can't turn the tide!"

The powerful nobles and heads of major clans who attended the emperor's birthday celebration are still in the capital.

Given the recent anomalies in the city, it seems that the Carefree King intends to wipe out all these major forces in one fell swoop and completely control the situation of the Myriad Spirits Imperial Dynasty.

In addition.

Zombies have already infiltrated the palace.

The Golden Feather Guard are engaged in a fierce battle with the zombies.

A look of sorrow filled Zhao Jin's eyes as he sighed, "You are so ruthless and unscrupulous; no wonder the late emperor was unwilling to pass the throne to you."

These words seemed to touch a sore spot for the Carefree King. His face darkened, and he gripped Zhao Jin tightly, saying, "So you finally admit it, you lied to me back then, and you actually still wanted to fight for the throne."

"Release my father!"

Seeing that the Carefree King was losing control, Zhao Yinyin rushed forward anxiously and slashed down with her sword.

But it was all in vain.

The Carefree King unleashed a palm strike, sending Zhao Yinyin flying.

"Puff!"

Her internal organs churned violently, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.

At this moment, all the royal relatives and nobles had completely sobered up and knelt down to pay homage to the Carefree King.

"Carefree King, are truly the chosen one, and we are willing to acknowledge you as our ruler!"

Seeing this scene.

The Carefree King laughed heartily, "See that, Your Majesty? Those who were just fawning over you at your birthday celebration have turned their backs on you in the blink of an eye. Isn't that ironic..."

Seeing this, Chen Ning turned to the kneeling crowd and said, "You've knelt down too soon. There are only three Celestial Person cultivators in the Azure Heaven Realm. Even if Celestial Person Song is defeated, there's still one left. Why are you bowing down so quickly? Isn't that a bit premature?"

Upon hearing this...

The leader, with an expression of complete understanding, said, "Over the years, who has ever seen that mysterious Celestial Person? It's probably all just legend. Celestial Person Song Zhao Jin must have fabricated it to keep the Carefree King in check because he feared the Carefree King's power."

"That's right!"

Some people around him echoed his sentiments.

Chen Ning chuckled, "Wow, you changed your tune pretty quickly. You're calling me by my first name now. I'm impressed."

"That's right. Don't you see the situation? Song Huai is no longer able to fight. The Carefree King is the true chosen one. I say, young brother, you are quite brave. A wise bird chooses a good tree to perch on. Hurry up and kneel down. There's still a spot next to me."

The man waved enthusiastically to invite Chen Ning.
