“是，小婢清楚了。≦随夢小說，.com”陆盈儿点了点头。武云儿的脸上也满是乖巧之色。
"Yes, Miss Lin, I understand." Lu Ying'er nodded. Wu Yun'er's face was also full of a look of obedience.
yún zhōu yǔ yōu zhōu bù tóng ， zōng mén jiā zú ruò méi yǒu yuán yīng qī xiū xiān zhě ， néng fǒu lì zú dōu shì liǎng shuō ， gèng bú yào tán xiàng wài kuò zhāng fā zhǎn le 。
云州与幽州不同，宗门家族若没有元婴期修仙者，能否立足都是两说，更不要谈向外扩张发展了。
Cloud Province and You Province were different. If a sect or family did not have an婴期 cultivator, it would be hard to even stand on its own ground, let alone expand outwardly.
shào yé yòu bù kě néng yǒng yuǎn zuò zhèn zǒng duò ， bù guò yǒu le zhè shí jù yuán yīng qī kuǐ lěi zuò bāng shǒu ， běn mén jiàng shǎo qù hěn duō hòu gù zhī yōu 。
少爷又不可能永远坐镇总舵，不过有了这十具元婴期傀儡做帮手，本门将少去很多后顾之忧。
The young master could not possibly remain permanently at the main hall, but with these ten元婴期 puppets as assistants, his sect would have fewer worries.
yě bù zhī dào shào yé yòng le shén me bǎo wù ， cái cóng tiān qiǎo mén wán chéng zhè cì jiāo huàn de 。
也不知道少爷用了什么宝物，才从天巧门完成这次交换的。
She wondered what kind of treasure the young master had used to complete this exchange with Heavenly Craft Sect.
xiǎng dào lín xuān de shēn qíng hòu yì ， liǎng nǚ xīn zhōng gǎn jī bù yǐ 。
想到林轩的深情厚谊，两女心中感激不已。
Thinking about Lin Xuan's deep feelings and loyalty, the two girls were filled with gratitude.
rán ér shì qíng bìng wèi jié shù ， lín xuān shēn shǒu yī fú ， qīng guāng shǎn guò ， yòu yǒu liǎng gè chǔ wù dài chū xiàn zài zhuō miàn shàng le 。
然而事情并未结束，林轩伸手一拂，青光闪过，又有两个储物袋出现在桌面上了。
However, things were not over. Lin Xuan waved his hand, and a flash of green light appeared, revealing two more storage bags on the table.
“ shào yé ， zhè ……”
“少爷，这……”
"Master, this..."
“ xiū xiān bǎi yì ， fán fù yǐ jí ， chú le jī guān kuǐ lěi zhī shù ， tiān qiǎo mén hái yǒu xǔ duō bié de bǎo wù 。” lín xuān yī biān shuō ， yī biān jiāng chǔ wù dài dǎ kāi ， yī fēi niǎo xíng zhuàng de guài wù xiǎn lù chū lái 。
“修仙百艺，繁复以极，除了机关傀儡之术，天巧门还有许多别的宝物。”林轩一边说，一边将储物袋打开，一飞鸟形状的怪物显露出来。
"Many techniques in cultivation are complex and varied. Besides puppetry, Heavenly Craft Sect has many other treasures." As Lin Xuan spoke, he opened one of the storage bags, releasing a flying sword-shaped灵器.
tōng tǐ chéng jīn huáng zhī sè ， xíng zhuàng yǒu diǎn xiàng lǎo yīng ， dàn què gèng jiā xiōng è ， nǎi shì yòng qiān nián líng mù liàn zhì ér chéng de 。
通体呈金黄之色，形状有点像老鹰，但却更加凶恶，乃是用千年灵木炼制而成的。
The blade flashed like lightning, slicing at the zombie's head. However, the monster did not dodge; instead, it waved its hands, producing countless black claws that blocked the flying sword and shot towards Wu Yun'er's chest.
“ mù sǔn ？” wǔ yún ér yǎn kǒu jīng hū 。
“木隼？”武云儿掩口惊呼。
Similar anomalies were occurring elsewhere. Screams echoed throughout the main hall as hundreds of monsters suddenly appeared.
“ zěn me ， nǐ rèn shí cǐ wù ？” lín xuān de mù guāng xiàng zuò zài zuǒ shǒu biān de shào nǚ wàng qù le 。
“怎么，妳认识此物？”林轩的目光向坐在左手边的少女望去了。
Lin Xuan frowned but said nothing. He moved his shoulders slightly, transforming into a streak of light that flew out through the window of the grand hall.
“ shì de 。 yún ér céng jīng jiàn guò ， cǐ wù suī rán líng huó bǐ kuǐ lěi shāo xùn yī chóu ， dàn yě fēi cháng hǎo yòng ， bù guò zhēn xiǎng yào chōng fèn fā huī chū xiào guǒ ， shù liàng bì xū yào yǒu bǎi zhǐ yǐ shàng cái xíng de ， bù zhī shī bó mǎi le duō shǎo ne ？” wǔ yún ér zuǐ chún wēi qǐ de kāi kǒu le ， zhè mù sǔn hǎo shì hǎo ， jiù shì jià gé tài gāo 。
“是的。云儿曾经见过，此物虽然灵活比傀儡稍逊一筹，但也非常好用，不过真想要充分发挥出效果，数量必须要有百只以上才行的，不知师伯买了多少呢？”武云儿嘴唇微启的开口了，这木隼好是好，就是价格太高。
"What..."
“ hē hē ， nǐ kàn kàn jiù zhī dào 。”
“呵呵，妳看看就知道。”
Suspended in mid-air, Lin Xuan's expression revealed a look of astonishment despite his composure.
tīng lín xuān zhè me shuō ， liǎng nǚ liǎn shàng jiē lù chū hào qí zhī sè ， yì qǐ jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， zài chǔ wù dài zhōng tàn cè 。
听林轩这么说，两女脸上皆露出好奇之色，一起将神识放出，在储物袋中探测。
The anomaly was coming from the valley where he had opened his cave. In other words, it was Mo'er's place of seclusion.
jǐn jǐn guò le bú dào bàn zhǎn chá de gōng fu ， liǎng nǚ tái qǐ tóu ， biǎo qíng yǐ shì zhèn hàn dào jí chù 。
仅仅过了不到半盏茶的功夫，两女抬起头，表情已是震撼到极处。
Dark winds swirled around them, and within a radius of several miles, eerie cries of ghosts filled the air.
“ sān qiān zhǐ ， shī bó ， nán dào nǐ huā le shàng qiān wàn jīng shí ？”
“三千只，师伯，难道你花了上千万晶石？”
Sand and stones flew everywhere as the aura of the vengeful spirits obscured the entire sky. It was noon, but the sunlight was completely blocked out.
“ méi yǒu nà me duō ， yīn wèi mǎi de shù liàng zú ， tiān qiǎo mén gěi le xiē xǔ yōu huì de ， chōng qí liàng bù guò jiǔ bǎi wàn jīng shí bà le 。” lín xuān qīng miáo dàn xiě de kāi kǒu 。
“没有那么多，因为买的数量足，天巧门给了些许优惠的，充其量不过九百万晶石罢了。”林轩轻描淡写的开口。
The surrounding qi became chaotic, with an abundance of阴气 permeating the area.
suī rán bǐ yù liào de shāo wēi pián yi ， dàn liǎng nǚ yī jiù zhèn hàn yǐ jí 。
虽然比预料的稍微便宜，但两女依旧震撼以极。
This anomaly was indeed far more significant than a mere infant-cultivating sign.
jí biàn duì yú yuán yīng qī xiū xiān zhě ， shàng bǎi wàn jīng shí yě shì dà shù mù ， jiǔ bǎi wàn ， zú yǐ ràng pǔ tōng de dà xiū shì qīng jiā dàng chǎn 。
即便对于元婴期修仙者，上百万晶石也是大数目，九百万，足以让普通的大修士倾家荡产。
"Master, look..."
shào yé （ shī bó ） guǒ rán bú shì pǔ tōng de xiū xiān zhě ， liǎng nǚ yǎn zhōng mǎn shì chóng bài zhī sè 。
少爷（师伯）果然不是普通的修仙者，两女眼中满是崇拜之色。
The streak of light passed by, and the two girls joined Lin Xuan. Their faces showed signs of worry; even though Mo'er was a ghostly body, this cultivation sign was too large for such an event.
“ zhè bù suàn shén me ， lìng yí gè chǔ wù dài zhōng de dōng xī bǐ mù sǔn hái yào hǎo dé duō 。” lín xuān wēi xiào zhe kāi kǒu le 。
“这不算什么，另一个储物袋中的东西比木隼还要好得多。”林轩微笑着开口了。
Even the protective array could not stop it. However, Lin Xuan did not show any anxiety because he knew that Mo'er was reborn as the Arrogant King.
“ bǐ mù sǔn hái hǎo ？”
“比木隼还好？”
"Do not worry, I will handle it myself. You should return to your duties and reassure your subordinates." Lin Xuan said casually.
“ bù cuò ， jīng wēi pào nǐ liǎ kě zēng tīng guò ？”
“不错，晶威炮妳俩可曾听过？”
"Yes!"
“ jīng wēi pào ？” lù yíng ér yáo le yáo yáo tóu ， tā bì jìng lái zì yōu zhōu 。 ér wǔ yún ér zuò wèi yún zhōu běn tǔ de xiū xiān zhě ， kě jiù tīng dé zhāng kǒu jié shé ：“ shī bó ， zhēn de ， nà dōng xī tiān qiǎo mén bú shì jué bù mǎi me ， wǒ tīng shuō qí bǎo guì chéng dù ， bìng bù xùn sè yú yuán yīng qī kuǐ lěi de 。”
“晶威炮？”陆盈儿摇了摇摇头，她毕竟来自幽州。而武云儿做为云州本土的修仙者，可就听得张口结舌：“师伯，真的，那东西天巧门不是绝不买么，我听说其宝贵程度，并不逊色于元婴期傀儡的。”
Seeing that Master (Senior) had everything under control, the two girls did not speak further. They bowed and prepared to leave when a thunderous sound suddenly echoed in their ears.
“ huà shì zhè me shuō ， bù guò guī jǔ shì sǐ ， rén shì huó ， shén me shì qíng zǒng kě yǐ biàn tōng ， zhǐ yào ná chū de dōng xī néng lìng duì fāng xīn dòng ……”
“话是这么说，不过规矩是死，人是活，什么事情总可以变通，只要拿出的东西能令对方心动……”
Lin Xuan's eyes narrowed as he saw dark clouds forming over the valley, covering an area of several acres. Inside the cloud,厉芒 flashed with eerie cries of ghosts. A black hurricane appeared at the center of the valley, with a diameter of more than a hundred feet, connecting heaven and earth.
“ shào yé ， xiǎo bì wú yòng ， bài xuān gé de shì qíng ràng nǐ fèi xīn le 。” lù yíng ér mǎn liǎn cán kuì de kāi kǒu ， cǐ nǚ xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， yǐ lín xuān xiàn zài de xiū wèi shén tōng ， xiǎo xiǎo de bài xuān gé ， gēn běn jiù bāng bù liǎo tā fēn háo de ， lín xuān zhè me zuò ， dōu shì wèi le zì jǐ jiě mèi yǐ hòu néng zài yún zhōu lì zú 。
“少爷，小婢无用，拜轩阁的事情让你费心了。”陆盈儿满脸惭愧的开口，此女心中有数，以林轩现在的修为神通，小小的拜轩阁，根本就帮不了他分毫的，林轩这么做，都是为了自己姐妹以后能在云州立足。
Agh!
“ xíng le yíng ér ， huà bié zhè me shuō ， hé kuàng shào yé wǒ yě bìng méi yǒu fù chū shén me 。”
“行了盈儿，话别这么说，何况少爷我也并没有付出什么。”
Inside the dark cloud, ghostly figures were visible, surrounded by countless bones.
lín xuān suī rán yīn xiǎn jiǎo huá ， bù guò duì yú zì jǐ rén 。 què cóng bù shuō huǎng huà ， yuán yīng qī kuǐ lěi yě hǎo ， jīng wēi pào yě bà ， lín xuān huàn qǔ zhè xiē bǎo wù ， bù guò shì ná le sān jiàn yòng bù shàng de zhàn jiǎ ， zhì yú nà piān liàn jiǎ zhī shù ， gèng bù guò shì jī chǔ 。
林轩虽然阴险狡猾，不过对于自己人。却从不说谎话，元婴期傀儡也好，晶威炮也罢，林轩换取这些宝物，不过是拿了三件用不上的战甲，至于那篇炼甲之术，更不过是基础。
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted as he felt something was amiss. "Ying'er, has there ever been such an alarming sign before?"
dāng rán ， zhè xiē yě bù yòng duì liǎng nǚ xì shuō 。
当然，这些也不用对两女细说。
"No," Lu Ying'er shook her head, looking worried. "Master, could Mo'er encounter any problems during this cultivation? The signs in the past were not so terrifying."
lín xuān hē le yī kǒu chá ， zhèng yù wèn yī xiē bié de ， tū rán ， què yǒu yì xiǎng bú dào de biàn gù 。
林轩喝了一口茶，正欲问一些别的，突然，却有意想不到的变故。
"..."
hōng ！
轰！
Lin Xuan rubbed his forehead; he was unsure as well because Mo'er's identity was special, and infant-cultivating could not be judged by common sense. Perhaps Xiao Tao knew something more, but she might still be asleep.
yī shēng jù xiǎng chuán rù ěr duǒ ， shān yáo dì dòng ， zhè lǐ ruò fēi bài xuān gé zǒng duò ， yǒu céng céng jìn zhì bāo guǒ ， kǒng pà fù jìn de shān fēng yǐ jīng bēng tā le 。
一声巨响传入耳朵，山摇地动，这里若非拜轩阁总舵，有层层禁制包裹，恐怕附近的山峰已经崩塌了。
Despite his belief in being able to predict everything, Lin Xuan could do nothing at the moment except wait.
lín xuān méi shāo yī dòng ， yě bù kāi kǒu ， zhǐ jiàn tā jiān tóu yī yáo ， jiù huà wèi yī dào jīng hóng ， fēi chū le dà diàn de chuāng kǒu 。
林轩眉梢一动，也不开口，只见他肩头一摇，就化为一道惊虹，飞出了大殿的窗口。
Huang San was a disciple of Wandering Cang Sect from You Province. Several decades ago, there were significant changes in the world; Biyun Mountain and Ling Yao Mountain sects moved elsewhere for development.
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
With no powerful sects to challenge them, Wandering Cang Sect expanded its influence. However, an unknown sect called Baxuan suddenly rose to prominence, unifying You Province as a new dominant force. Wandering Cang Sect had to submit, and Huang San joined Baxuan Sect afterward.
lín xuān xuán fú zài bàn kōng ， yǐ tā de chéng fǔ ， liǎn shàng yě bù yóu de lù chū jīng yà yǐ jí de shén sè 。
林轩悬浮在半空，以他的城府，脸上也不由得露出惊讶以极的神色。
Initially, he was just an ordinary outer disciple but later became a confidant of the sect leader due to his luck and efforts.
nà yì xiàng zhèng shì lái zì zì jǐ kāi pì dòng fǔ de shān gǔ ， huàn jù huà shuō ， yě jiù shì yuè ér de bì guān zhī chù 。
那异象正是来自自己开辟洞府的山谷，换句话说，也就是月儿的闭关之处。
After unifying You Province, the main sect leader planned to establish a sub-branch in Cloud Province. Among the selected elite, Huang San's name was included.
yīn fēng rú mò ， fāng yuán shù shí lǐ nèi ， dōu xiǎng chè zhe qī lì de guǐ kū 。
阴风如墨，方圆数十里内，都响彻着凄厉的鬼哭。
Arriving in Cloud Province, Huang San realized that he had wasted his life; here, he understood what it meant to be in a cultivation holy land, with numerous元婴期 old monsters.
fēi shā zǒu shí ， yuān hún de lì qì zhē bì le zhěng gè tiān dì ， cǐ shí míng míng shì zhèng wǔ ， kě tiān dì jiān de yáng guāng què bèi wán quán dǎng zhù 。
飞沙走石，冤魂的戾气遮蔽了整个天地，此时明明是正午，可天地间的阳光却被完全挡住。
While Baxuan Sect was dominant in You Province, they were inferior even to third-rate sects and families here. Fortunately, Senior Lin looked after him, or he might not have been able to stand on his own ground.
fù jìn de líng qì tóng yàng biàn dé hùn luàn yǐ jí ， dào chù fǎn ér mí màn zhe chōng pèi de yīn qì 。
附近的灵气同样变得混乱以极，到处反而弥漫着充沛的阴气。
After seizing Jueling Mountain, Baxuan Sect finally had a new main hall. However, the recent anomalies left Huang San uneasy.
nà yì xiàng 。 guǒ rán yuǎn bú shì xiū shì jié yīng kě bǐ 。
那异象。果然远不是修士结婴可比。
He did not know what they meant, and the sect leader had already issued an order prohibiting私下 discussions about it.
“ shào yé ， nǐ kàn ……”
“少爷，你看……”
Fortunately, although the signs were massive, no disasters followed, and over time, everyone gradually put their minds at ease.
jīng hóng shǎn guò ， liǎng nǚ yě dōu lái dào lín xuān shēn biān le ， tā men de qiào liǎn shàng yǐn yǐn xiě zhe tǎn tè ， yuè ér xiǎo jiě suī shì yīn hún zhī tǐ ， dàn zhè jié yīng de tiān zhào wèi miǎn yě tài dà le 。
惊虹闪过，两女也都来到林轩身边了，她们的俏脸上隐隐写着忐忑，月儿小姐虽是阴魂之体，但这结婴的天兆未免也太大了。
Today was different. Huang San was originally meditating in his cave. As a middle-stage筑基 cultivator, he felt that he was close to breaking through to the后期 realm. With proper effort, he might reach it soon.
shèn zhì lián hù pài dà zhèn dōu zhē dǎng bú zhù ， bù guò lín xuān liǎn shàng bìng méi yǒu jiāo jí ， bì jìng tā zhī dào yuè ér nǎi ā xiū luó wáng zhuǎn shì 。
甚至连护派大阵都遮挡不住，不过林轩脸上并没有焦急，毕竟他知道月儿乃阿修罗王转世。
However, this sudden anomaly caused the surrounding qi to become chaotic, making it impossible for him to continue cultivation.
“ bù yòng jí ， cǐ shì wǒ zì huì chǔ lǐ ， nǐ men gè zì huí qù ， ān fǔ hǎo xià shǔ ， ràng tā men bú yào hú yán luàn yǔ jiù xíng le 。” lín xuān qīng miáo dàn xiě de shuō 。
“不用急，此事我自会处理，妳们各自回去，安抚好下属，让他们不要胡言乱语就行了。”林轩轻描淡写的说。
Huang San sighed and left his cave. However, what he saw was shocking; these anomalies appeared periodically, and he had seen them before, but the scale of today's event far exceeded previous ones.
“ shì ！”
“是！”
What was happening?
jiàn shào yé （ shī bó ） xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， liǎng nǚ guāi qiǎo de méi yǒu kāi kǒu ， liǎn rèn yī lǐ ， zhèng yù tuì qù ， què tū rán yǒu qíng tiān pī lì bān de jù xiǎng chuán rù le ěr duǒ lǐ 。
见少爷（师伯）心中有数，两女乖巧的没有开口，敛衽一礼，正欲退去，却突然有晴天霹雳般的巨响传入了耳朵里。
Dark winds roared around him. As a cultivator, Huang San felt an inexplicable fear. For ordinary people, they would have already lost their minds.
lín xuān yǎn jīng wēi mī ， zhǐ jiàn yīn fēng yǐ zhē dǎng le zhěng gè shān gǔ ， yī duǒ zhí jìng zú yǒu shù shí mǔ dà xiǎo de yīn yún zài tiān kōng zhōng xíng chéng le 。
林轩眼睛微眯，只见阴风已遮挡了整个山谷，一朵直径足有数十亩大小的阴云在天空中形成了。
"Eh, what is that?"
yīn yún zhī zhōng ， lì máng cì mù ， lǐ miàn jiā zá zhe qī lì de guǐ kū ， suí hòu yǐ nà shān gǔ wèi zhōng xīn ， yī dào qī hēi de jù fēng píng kōng ér qǐ 。
阴云之中，厉芒刺目，里面夹杂着凄厉的鬼哭，随后以那山谷为中心，一道漆黑的飓风凭空而起。
Huang San suddenly noticed something. His cave was built on a small hill; he saw a strange movement of the earth about a hundred feet below him. A withered hand emerged from beneath it, bones visible through the skin.
zhí jìng zú yǒu bǎi zhàng fāng yuán ， lián tiān jiē dì 。 shēng shì jīng rén yǐ jí 。
直径足有百丈方圆，连天接地。声势惊人以极。
Bang!
áo ！
嗷！
The earth shot up, and a humanoid monster broke through the surface.
nà yīn yún zhī zhōng ， guǐ yǐng chóng chóng ， jiā zá zhe wú shù de bái gǔ 。
那阴云之中，鬼影重重，夹杂着无数的白骨。
Its fingers were sharp, its body emaciated, exuding an unpleasant stench.
lín xuān tóng kǒng wēi suō ， yǐn yǐn gǎn dào yǒu xiē bù tuǒ ：“ yíng ér ， yǐ qián de yì zhào yě yǒu zhè me jīng rén me ？”
林轩瞳孔微缩，隐隐感到有些不妥：“盈儿，以前的异兆也有这么惊人么？”
"A zombie!"
“ méi yǒu 。” lù yíng ér yáo le yáo tóu ， liǎn shàng mǎn shì tǎn tè ：“ shào yé ， yuè ér xiǎo jiě jié yīng huì bú huì yù jiàn shén me wèn tí le ， yǐ qián de tiān zhào bìng méi yǒu zhè me kě pà de 。”
“没有。”陆盈儿摇了摇头，脸上满是忐忑：“少爷，月儿小姐结婴会不会遇见什么问题了，以前的天兆并没有这么可怕的。”
Huang San was shocked. Seeing the monster rushing towards him, he quickly pulled out a flying sword-shaped灵器 from his storage bag.
“ zhè ……”
“这……”
The blade flashed like lightning and sliced at the zombie's head. However, the monster did not dodge; instead, it waved its hands, producing countless black claws that blocked the flying sword and shot toward Huang San's chest.
lín xuān yǐ shǒu fǔ é ， qí shí lián tā yě bù qīng chǔ ， bì jìng yuè ér shēn fèn tè shū ， jié yīng bù néng yòng cháng lǐ chuǎi mó 。 yě xǔ xiǎo táo duō shǎo zhī dào yī xiē nèi mù ， jiù bù zhī dào nà yā tou xiàn zài shì shuì zháo hái shì qīng xǐng zhe 。
林轩以手抚额，其实连他也不清楚，毕竟月儿身份特殊，结婴不能用常理揣摩。也许小桃多少知道一些内幕，就不知道那丫头现在是睡着还是清醒着。
Similar anomalies occurred elsewhere. Screams echoed as thousands of monsters suddenly appeared throughout the main hall.
lín xuān zì fù suàn wú yí cè ， rán ér cǐ shí cǐ kè ， yě bāng bù shàng shén me 。
林轩自负算无遗策，然而此时此刻，也帮不上什么。
Lin Xuan's expression was grim. "Ying'er, after eliminating Blood Shadow Sect, did you bury their corpses without cremating them?"
zhǐ néng zài yī páng gàn děng zhe 。
只能在一旁干等着。
"Sorry, Master, I was careless; thinking they were dead, we let them rest in peace." Lu Ying'er lowered her head, looking fearful and curious. "But no matter if one is a commoner or a cultivator, transforming into a zombie requires very strict conditions. This place is not near any阴脉, so how did this happen?"
……
……
"Yes, Senior, the conditions for transformation are extremely stringent. Could it be related to Mo'er's cultivation?" Wu Yun'er also asked curiously.
"Yes, Miss Lin, I understand." Lu Ying'er nodded. Wu Yun'er's face was also full of a look of obedience.
Cloud Province and You Province were different. If a sect or family did not have an婴期 cultivator, it would be hard to even stand on its own ground, let alone expand outwardly.
The young master could not possibly remain permanently at the main hall, but with these ten元婴期 puppets as assistants, his sect would have fewer worries.
She wondered what kind of treasure the young master had used to complete this exchange with Heavenly Craft Sect.
Thinking about Lin Xuan's deep feelings and loyalty, the two girls were filled with gratitude.
However, things were not over. Lin Xuan waved his hand, and a flash of green light appeared, revealing two more storage bags on the table.
"Master, this..."
"Many techniques in cultivation are complex and varied. Besides puppetry, Heavenly Craft Sect has many other treasures." As Lin Xuan spoke, he opened one of the storage bags, releasing a flying sword-shaped灵器.
The blade flashed like lightning, slicing at the zombie's head. However, the monster did not dodge; instead, it waved its hands, producing countless black claws that blocked the flying sword and shot towards Wu Yun'er's chest.

Today was different. Huang San was originally meditating in his cave. As a middle-stage筑基 cultivator, he felt that he was close to breaking through to the后期 realm. With proper effort, he might reach it soon.
However, this sudden anomaly caused the surrounding qi to become chaotic, making it impossible for him to continue cultivation.
Huang San sighed and left his cave. However, what he saw was shocking; these anomalies appeared periodically, and he had seen them before, but the scale of today's event far exceeded previous ones.
What was happening?
Dark winds roared around him. As a cultivator, Huang San felt an inexplicable fear. For ordinary people, they would have already lost their minds.
"Eh, what is that?"
Huang San suddenly noticed something. His cave was built on a small hill; he saw a strange movement of the earth about a hundred feet below him. A withered hand emerged from beneath it, bones visible through the skin.
Bang!
The earth shot up, and a humanoid monster broke through the surface.
Its fingers were sharp, its body emaciated, exuding an unpleasant stench.
"A zombie!"
Huang San was shocked. Seeing the monster rushing towards him, he quickly pulled out a flying sword-shaped灵器 from his storage bag.
The blade flashed like lightning and sliced at the zombie's head. However, the monster did not dodge; instead, it waved its hands, producing countless black claws that blocked the flying sword and shot toward Huang San's chest.
Similar anomalies occurred elsewhere. Screams echoed as thousands of monsters suddenly appeared throughout the main hall.
Lin Xuan's expression was grim. "Ying'er, after eliminating Blood Shadow Sect, did you bury their corpses without cremating them?"
"Sorry, Master, I was careless; thinking they were dead, we let them rest in peace." Lu Ying'er lowered her head, looking fearful and curious. "But no matter if one is a commoner or a cultivator, transforming into a zombie requires very strict conditions. This place is not near any阴脉, so how did this happen?"
"Yes, Senior, the conditions for transformation are extremely stringent. Could it be related to Mo'er's cultivation?" Wu Yun'er also asked curiously.
