Hearing the scream, Ling Xiao's hair stood on end.
This was because he could tell that the scream came from Wen Kedie.
Before leaving the sect, he had promised Wen Haiyan that he would take good care of Wen Kedie. Although he did not have any feelings for Wen Kedie, he still treated her like a little sister. He did not want anything to happen to Wen Kedie.
Ling Xiao quickly rushed towards the source of the scream.
When Ling Xiao rushed to a room, he saw Wen Kedie and Luo Meiying looking at something with pale faces.
Ling Xiao looked over and saw two zombies jumping towards the two of them.
These two zombies were female corpses with long and messy hair. They looked very sinister and frightening. It was no wonder that they were so scared that they were screaming in panic.
"Don't be afraid, I'm coming!" Ling Xiao shouted and sent out two palm strikes. Two demon blue flames burned towards the two zombies in front of him.
Zi Zi!
The moment the blue flames touched the zombies, they quickly burned them into nothingness.
"Wu!"
Wen Kedie cried and heavily pounced towards Ling Xiao. Her tears flowed incessantly, drenching Ling Xiao's clothes. It seemed that she was scared to death.
Ling Xiao patted Wen Kedie's soft back and comforted her: "It's okay, they don't exist anymore."
"Scared … scared me to death!" Wen Kedie was still tightly hugging Ling Xiao's waist as she choked with sobs.
Ling Xiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. A girl like Wen Kedie participating in the Oath Ceremony was simply a burden!
However, this was already the truth. He could only try his best to let her stay by his side and take care of her.
When Wen Kedie reluctantly left Ling Xiao's embrace, Ling Xiao looked at Luo Meiying and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
"No … I'm fine. I just didn't think that there would be such an unclean thing here. It's a bit scary." Luo Meiying shook her head and laughed lightly. Looking at Wen Kedie who was still tightly holding onto Ling Xiao's hand, her face was filled with envy.
"En, you guys wait here first, I'll see if there's anything here." Ling Xiao nodded, then he broke away from Wen Kedie's hand and began to search the room to see if there was anything worth taking away.
Unfortunately, the things in these houses had all been corroded, and there was nothing valuable at all.
At the same time, Ling Xiao also noticed that these rooms should be women's rooms. They might be where the two zombies lived when they were alive.
Just as Ling Xiao and the two women were about to walk out, they heard cries of alarm and the sounds of fighting coming from not far away.
Ling Xiao turned around and said to Luo Meiying, "Senior Sister, please take care of Junior Sister Wen."
After saying that, Ling Xiao once again dashed towards the direction of the battle.
On this side, two Black Rock Peak disciples were fiercely fighting with a black robed zombie.
The zombie's strength was extremely terrifying. Unexpectedly, it was able to withstand the bombardment of spiritual energy without any damage.
Ling Xiao loudly reminded, "Just cut off its head."
Shi Tianhou nodded and quickly chopped at the zombie's neck with his broad axe.
After the zombie's head was cut off, it finally fell down.
Shi Tianhou and the other Black Rock Peak disciple let out a heavy sigh of relief. It was obvious that they had been forced into an extremely difficult situation by the zombie.
"You guys look around to see if there's anything valuable. I'll go look elsewhere. Perhaps everyone here has already been turned into zombies." Ling Xiao frowned for a moment and then rushed off in another direction.
However, when he walked outside, his eyes couldn't help but widen.
"Heavens, just what is going on?" Ling Xiao couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
It was just as he had thought, there really was a large number of zombies here. Right now, they were continuously jumping out from other places. The sect's True Disciples had all retreated to the open space to deal with them.
There were actually over a hundred zombies here. Just looking at them caused people's scalps to go numb.
"Everyone quickly cut off their heads!" Ling Xiao loudly shouted and then took out his Ice and Fire Sword to kill those zombies.
Ling Xiao's Blue Demon Flame was a Heavenly Flame. Those zombies were quickly burned to ashes as soon as they touched them.
With the addition of Ling Xiao, the other True Disciples also became full of energy. The Xuan Artifacts in their hands all slashed at the zombies' necks.
Fortunately, these zombies had already lost their ability to think and couldn't use any Xuan Skills. Otherwise, with just their numbers, they would only be able to escape.
Very quickly, over a hundred zombies were completely swept away.
Ling Xiao didn't come and let out a sigh of relief. In his heart, he cursed, "Damn it!"
The people who had looted this place were simply too deranged. They had actually turned most of the people here into zombies. Too evil!
Just as Ling Xiao was lost in thought, a sorrowful cry came from the side. "Junior brother Pei, you … how are you?"
"Not good, he's going to turn into a zombie!" Another voice cried out.
Ling Xiao turned his head to look and saw a True Disciple's face had turned green. There were two deep teeth marks on his neck.
"Quickly kill him!" Ling Xiao urgently shouted.
Unfortunately, he was still half a step too late. The disciple who had been bitten by the zombie let out a strange cry and then grabbed his companion's neck and bit down.
"Ah!
Junior brother, what are you doing? "That companion let out a miserable cry and still didn't understand.
"Everyone scram!" Ling Xiao shouted and the Ice and Fire Sword in his hand unhesitatingly slashed at the two of them.
"Junior brother, what are you doing?" Chen Wenyu blocked in front of Ling Xiao and shouted.
"They're about to turn into zombies. Killing them is the best choice. Get out of my way!" Ling Xiao explained faintly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the two mutated disciples quickly hid far away.
The faces of the two disciples had already turned green, and a pair of terrifying fangs appeared in their mouths. Their eyes had already become bloodthirsty and savage, and the nails on their fingers had instantly grown much longer. They let out strange cries and pounced towards the nearest disciple, as if searching for the smell of blood.
Fortunately, those disciples had been warned by Ling Xiao and hurriedly dodged to avoid being bitten.
"Is there no other way?" Chen Wenyu glanced at the two disciples and asked Ling Xiao.
"Unless one of you has the Black Glutinous Flower with you, they will die. You should know that living zombies are much more terrifying and powerful than dead zombies." Ling Xiao had read a lot of books in the Book Depository, and one of the books he had read had a description of this matter.
The Black Glutinous Flower was a third-grade spirit herb that had the effect of expelling evil and avoiding poison. It was the best medicine to restrain zombie poison.
"Who doesn't have a Black Glutinous Flower?"
Chen Wenyu really didn't want to see those two disciples die. After all, one of them had a certain friendship with him.
Everyone was silent. It seemed that no one had a Black Glutinous Flower.
"Hurry and save me!"
At this moment, a true disciple with a lower strength was actually grabbed by one of the zombies. He kept hitting the zombie, but the zombie still held on to him tightly, as if it didn't feel any pain.
Seeing that the disciple was about to be bitten, Ling Xiao instantly disappeared in front of Chen Wenyu. The Ice and Fire Sword was inserted in front of the zombie's mouth, preventing it from biting the disciple.
Ling Xiao snorted coldly. The sword in his hand turned smoothly and immediately broke the zombie's fangs. Then he shouted, "Get out of my way!"
After saying that, Ling Xiao kicked the zombie away. The disciple was lucky to be saved.
Ling Xiao didn't stop. The Ice and Fire Sword in his hand slashed at the zombie's neck.
Pu!
A stream of green blood flowed out. Then he shouted, "Don't get stained with the poisonous blood!" Only an afterimage was left in his original position. He had already arrived in front of another zombie.
His hand rose and fell again. The zombie's head was immediately cut off.
In an instant, a total of twenty-five true disciples had died.
Everyone's hearts were heavy. Even though they had been prepared to die at any time before coming, they still felt extremely afraid when facing death.
"Everyone, form groups of four or five. Don't go too far. If there's any danger, immediately call for help. I'll rush over as soon as possible. Alright, immediately search this hall. No matter who finds anything, we'll meet here in two hours." Ling Xiao faintly gave the order. Then he said, "Senior Sister Bing, Senior Sister Yu, Junior Sister Wen, follow me. Don't go too far."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Meiying impatiently said, "I want to be in the same group as you."
Everyone looked at Luo Meiying in astonishment. Luo Meiying's face turned red. She felt extremely embarrassed in her heart.
Ling Xiao naturally wouldn't make her look bad. He immediately nodded and took the lead to walk towards the center of the hall. The girls followed closely behind, and the others immediately split up.
At this time, Wen Kedie quietly asked Luo Meiying, "Senior Sister Luo, don't tell me you also like this idiot?"
As she spoke, she stealthily pointed at Ling Xiao.
Luo Meiying's delicate face turned red, but she was also a woman who dared to love and hate. She immediately admitted, "When I entered the Myriad Beast Cave, he saved me. I found that I already liked him."
Wen Kedie slightly opened her mouth, her beautiful eyes revealed a look of surprise. She thought to herself, "Another opponent. Why does this idiot have so many people like him?"
"Junior Sister Wen, hurry up and catch up." Ling Xiao turned around and saw Wen Kedie in a daze. He immediately called out.
Wen Kedie came back to her senses and immediately chased after him. She encouraged herself in her heart, "I definitely won't lose!"
At the center of the hall was a luxurious cabinet hall. Several of the wooden doors had been shattered. When Ling Xiao and the others walked in, they saw that the furnishings inside were all in a sorry state. Moreover, they were all covered in dust and cobwebs.
In the direction of the main entrance, there was an ancient painting of an eagle with wings. The eagle looked vivid and lifelike, with an imposing manner that could soar into the clouds. It was a pity that the landscape below had been destroyed, otherwise it would definitely be considered an ancient work of art.
There weren't any zombies or corpses here, only a few decorative porcelain bottles, which could be seen at a glance.
"Let's go, there's nothing here." Bing Ruoshui glanced at the situation and immediately suggested.
Just as Ling Xiao was about to nod in agreement, his tiger-like eyes slightly narrowed and he immediately sped up towards the eagle painting.
