"Didn't Wujian say we just had to hold Ancestral Mountain, wait for them to come, and fight them head-on?" Ye Liugui said.
"No, no, no."
Gutas shook his head.
"I'm talking about how we divide up the Spatial Keys after killing the White-Robed Zombie King."

A dark-skinned Zombie King stepped forward.
