Nine figures, dressed in hooded grey trench coats, sunglasses, masks, and boots, floated down from the entrance of the tomb halfway up the mountain with Ling Yi and landed in front of You Shishi and the other person.
The scene left You Shishi speechless.
"This is my senior brother Wang Chongyang, and this is Perfected Zhang Sanfeng, the Wudang Sect. These seven are the Seven Masters of Quanzhen," Ling Yi introduced to You Shishi.
"This is You Shishi and..."
" Wu Xingyun!" the little girl introduced herself in an aged voice.
Wang Chongyang and the others were unfamiliar with this name. She was one of the oldest masters in Jin Yong's martial arts novels, and Wu Xingyun was also a homebody who rarely left Spirit Vulture Palace, so it was normal for Wang Chongyang and the others not to know Wu Xingyun.
Wu Xingyun's entire face was hidden under the hood. The dark clouds over Mount Zhongnan had dissipated, and despite the hood, the sunlight still made her very uncomfortable.
" Ling Yi, Ling Jiu sent a message saying that Gusu City has fallen," You Shishi said anxiously.
Gusu City?
Ling Yi frowned, wondering which undead martial artist Resurrection and was causing trouble again.
Ling Yi turned to Wang Chongyang and said, "Senior brother, it seems we need to go to Gusu City."
"It's alright, Junior Brother, you can arrange it." Wang Chongyang waved his hand and said.
Ling Yi nodded, took out the phone he had just bought in Wudang City, and directly contacted Ling Jiu, asking, " Ling Jiu, could you arrange for a plane to come over?"
"We can call in special forces' armed helicopters; all we need to do is set up a high-level secret mission."
"As soon as possible!" Ling Yi nodded.
He then said to You Shishi, "This time it might be very dangerous. You and... Wu Xingyun should go back first."
"I..."
"Practice martial arts diligently with Wu Xingyun!"
You Shishi pouted, reluctant to leave, but she also knew that following Ling Yi Ling Yi only cause him trouble and be a burden. Instead, practicing martial arts with Wu Xingyun to improve her strength was the best choice.
Ling Yi took a large water bottle from the trunk, poured the mysterious blood from the Halo Blood Pool into it, and then tossed it to Wu Xingyun.
"Protect her well, thank you."
Wu Xingyun took the kettle and nodded; she knew this was a transaction.
You Shishi hugged Ling Yi reluctantly before driving away with Wu Xingyun.
"Junior brother is quite lucky; this girl is very nice," Wang Chongyang said with a smile.
Ling Yi shook his head without offering any further explanation.
He had no feelings for You Shishi, and the reason he You Shishi to leave was partly because, as Ling Yi had said, what they were about to do was very dangerous for You Shishi.
On the other hand, it's also because Ling Yi doesn't want to have too much entanglement with You Shishi anymore.
"Senior, what should we do next?" Zhang Sanfeng asked.
"Don't call me senior, just call me Ling Yi. Since we've Revive, it's a new beginning for us, so there's no need to bring up our past identities."
"We'll discuss the specifics after we get there."
After a pause, Ling Yi looked at his phone again. " Ling Jiu, tell me about the situation in Gusu City."
" Gusu City has completely fallen; the city is now filled with the dead."
"Completely lost?"
This is not good news. The complete fall of Gusu City have no source of "food". In order to find blood, these spirits will inevitably go out and spread, and once they do, it will be uncontrollable.
"The military in the Southern District has sealed off Gusu City. Several major battles have already taken place between humans and the undead, and the undead in Gusu City are still trapped inside."
"I'm afraid they won't be trapped for long," Ling Yi said, shaking his head.
The undead are characterized by their immortality; as long as the Soul Pearl exists and there is blood, they can Resurrection on the spot and recover quickly.
If the undead charge recklessly and frantically, some will eventually break through the blockade.
At that point, the situation will spiral out of control.
"Do you know who the Resurrection undead in the city are?" Ling Yi asked.
"It's impossible to analyze at the moment. They always wear masks when they appear, making it difficult to determine their specific identities."
"Them?"
"Yes, there are three Resurrection undead martial artists this time, and they are very powerful."
At this moment, Ling Yi's thoughts had changed, or rather, he had decided what he needed to do next.
Ling Yi's previous idea was to eliminate all the undead and then end the world by "dying" himself.
But Ling Yi doesn't want to do that now.
The undead are not zombies; they retain memories of their past lives, and this is what is most painful for them.
Not only him, but Shen Yingying in Dayandu also initially wanted to Miejue all the undead, didn't she? Now her thoughts have also changed.
But is saving them really that easy?
Ling Yi's idea was somewhat too presumptuous.
If Ling Yi saves the dead, how can the dead and humans coexist? After all, the undead in martial arts novels are all incredibly powerful; how could humanity allow such uncontrollable forces to exist?
Moreover, why would the dead willingly coexist with humans? The human heart is the hardest thing to control, and there are countless ambitious people.
The sound of helicopter rotors filled the sky.
A dark green helicopter slowly descended from the sky and came to a stop in front of everyone.
Guided by Ling Yi, the group boarded the helicopter and headed straight for Gusu City...
Inside the largest shopping mall in Gusu City, a group of people—or rather, a group of undead—were discussing their escape plan for the night.
This is a conference room. The three people in the lead are a bald old monk, a burly old man who looks to be around sixty years old, and a handsome No. 1 Middle School man.
Below sat more than thirty people, including former politicians and business tycoons from Gusu City, as well as some former gang leaders and underworld bosses.
" Director Zhang, the heavy responsibility of breaking through tonight rests on your shoulders. I hope you won't let us down."
The handsome middle-aged man said to one of them.
" Young Master Murong, please rest assured, no one is more familiar with the layout of Gusu City's underground drainage system than I am."
"I naturally believe in Director Zhang's abilities. If you can break through, you will be credited with the greatest merit, and I will then pass on to you an internal martial arts technique."
Director Zhang was visibly excited and quickly assured him, " Young Master Murong, please rest assured, we will definitely complete the mission."
" Young Master Murong " then looked at the burly man covered in tattoos beside him and said, "We'll have to trouble Master Long with the task of luring the enemy into ambush."
The man called "Master Long" glanced at another middle-aged man wearing glasses and a white coat, and said with a sneer, "As long as Director Liu's blood bags are supplied on time, that's fine."
"Please rest assured, Master Long, Old Liu knows what's important."
" Young Master Murong " clapped his hands and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you all. Today's battle is a battle for the rise of our Ling Yi. We can only win, we cannot afford to lose."
"If we win this battle, we will become the masters of this world. You will all be meritorious contributors to our rise to power, and you will surely enjoy wealth and glory. Do not forget, you and I have already achieved immortality."
After the meeting ended, everyone left, leaving only " Young Master Morong " and his two companions in the conference room.
The old monk, the Sweeper Monk of the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils World, whose real name is Murong Longcheng, was once an unparalleled powerhouse in the same era as Xiaoyaozi, and is now the ultimate boss of the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils World.
Murong Bo, Li Qiang and ambitious man, is a petty villain who only knows how to do despicable things. With a secret letter, he sets the stage for the entire Heavenly Dragon storyline.
Murong Fu, an unlucky fellow who only wanted to restore his kingdom but lacked vision.
" Fu'er has become more and more mature. You've done very well," Murong Bo said with a satisfied smile.
"If we can turn everyone in the world into ghosts, with their Immortal Body, achieving unification will not be difficult," Murong Fu said confidently.
"Haha, well said!" Murong Bo laughed loudly.
Murong Longcheng didn't say a word, he just shook his head helplessly.
Compared to Murong Bo and his son, he was not so optimistic.
This world was still very unfamiliar to them. According to what he knew, humanity had already mastered weapons of mass destruction and could easily wipe out a city.
Once a war breaks out between humans and the undead, humans will inevitably use this weapon at a crucial moment, at which point they will have nowhere to escape.
Moreover, if they can Resurrection, other masters will inevitably be Resurrection as well.
Back then, Qiao Feng, Duan Yu Xuzhu, and Xu Zhu together could fight him to a standstill. Not to mention Xiaoyaozi, whom he feared the most. If he could Resurrection, Xiaoyaozi would surely be Resurrection as well.
Murong Fu and his group were being far too Tianzhen.
Even if one becomes an undead, it only changes one's original bloodline; the human heart is the most difficult thing to control.
Who among those people in the previous meeting didn't have ulterior motives?
Most importantly, the undead can devour each other's Soul Pearl to strengthen themselves.
Those people will realize this sooner or later.
At that time, these Resurrection martial arts ghosts will likely become the target of public criticism.
After all, by devouring them, one can directly acquire everything about them: their cultivation techniques, memories, strength...
How many people can resist such Gravity?
This was something that not only Murong Fu and his group hadn't considered, but even Ling Yi had overlooked, or rather, hadn't taken it to heart at all.
In Murong Longcheng's view, nothing is more important than his own strength. As long as he devours enough Soul Pearl, he might be able to become a god.
Ignoring Murong Bo and his son who were lost in their daydreams, Murong Longcheng turned and left, taking the elevator to a basement.
The entire basement was densely packed with more than a hundred dead souls.
Murong Longcheng licked his lips and leaped inside...
Late at night, an armed helicopter slowly landed on an open space Gusu City.
"Why don't we just go straight into the city?" Wang Chongyang asked Ling Yi.
"This is a video I just received." Ling Yi handed the phone to Wang Chongyang, his expression somewhat grim.
On the helicopter, Ling Jiu sent Ling Yi a video.
Dayandu has once again fallen into chaos. Not only has the Undead Supermarket been looted, but Shen Yingying is also dead.
And it was Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü who killed Shen Yingying...
