Chapter 114: Can Be the Dog General
Lian Yun did not wish to slaughter the Zombies, but the Zombies were absolutely unwilling to let go of the one who had taken their treasured possession. As time passed, a tide of Zombies began to form around Lian Yun.
Although Lian Yun was not afraid, he found himself in a bit of a dilemma.
Killing them would be an easy task, but doing so would yield no benefits and could potentially cost him the chance to acquire more Purple Qi.
On the other hand, if he refrained from killing them, the number of Zombies would only increase, becoming more and more chaotic, eventually attracting truly dangerous entities. Their attacks were extremely mindless; they simply chased and bit. If Lian Yun only swatted them away without taking action, he would soon be buried under a mountain of corpses.
Fortunately, dawn was approaching.
Most of the Zombies chose to hide in dark corners or directly bury themselves in the ground.
Those that continued to pursue him gradually became stiff as time went on.
Thus, this situation came to an end.
For the rest of the day, Lian Yun hunted Evil Spirits to obtain Spiritwood. At night, he rested freely in an open area, consuming Spiritwood.
The rewards from defeating Evil Spirits were saved for later, and by dawn, he set off towards the South Side.
In his view, since Zombies could absorb Purple Qi, it was clear that some of the Purple Qi he had obtained yesterday had been absorbed. If he could wait in the place where Purple Qi descended, he would surely acquire even more.
With this thought, Lian Yun moved to the center of the Southern District.
However, upon arriving there, he encountered Spirits frequently; it seemed that every little while or distance brought another Spirit into his path.
Although all encountered Spirits were captured by Big Head and other Ghost Slaves, the sheer number of Spirits made it easy for unnecessary complications to arise.
Thus, Lian Yun found a basement to hide in. As dawn approached, he emerged with his Ghost Slaves. He then witnessed the descent of Purple Qi and managed to seize half of it before quickly retreating back into the basement.
After listening carefully for a while and noticing that although the ground was chaotic, no Zombies were approaching, he instructed Big Head and the other Ghost Slaves to guard him while he prepared for his fifth breakthrough.
As expected, this time he dispersed all his spiritual power over eighteen hours. After nearly six hours spent consuming all the concentrated Nutrient Solution from his Box, he finally restored his realm to a mid-level state. However, at this moment, he felt a sense of stability. His body no longer felt empty; instead, it was filled with an endless feeling of power.
Yet Lian Yun knew that this sensation was illusory and not real.
No matter how strong his body was now, if he could not achieve the Ultimate Ascension to Kingship, he would ultimately fail to reach greater heights. Especially after consuming so much Spiritwood, his body was filled with seemingly harmless toxins from the medicines. Without undergoing a complete transformation, the residue of those drugs alone could hinder his growth for a lifetime.
Yet now he had no choice but to use Spiritwood to enhance himself.
In an instant, Lian Yun found that the Purple Qi within his Box had condensed into droplets. Although he still had no way to extract the items from the Box, he forcefully seized all the Purple Qi without hesitation.
He did not know when his grandfather Lin Jin would be revived, and even if his grandfather did not need it, the Ghost Slaves he would acquire in the future could certainly use it. Collecting more was undoubtedly beneficial.
However, while Lian Yun was pleased, the Zombies of the Southern District were far from happy.
Endless, anguished howls echoed around him.
Upon hearing this, Lian Yun realized the gravity of the situation. Yet instead of feeling regret, he sprinted deeper into Fengdu. He continued searching for the Spiritwood coordinates given by Zhou Tong until noon when the Zombies could no longer withstand the scorching sunlight. Along the way, every Spirit he encountered met their demise.
Despite his agility in stealth, even Spirits hiding among stones or within Artifacts were dragged out one by one. However, Lian Yun's movements were still too conspicuous.
In just a short time, nearly half of the Spiritwood in the Southern District had vanished; it would be strange if this did not attract the attention of Spirits.
Simply put, the Zombies' wails would inevitably draw attention as well.
Lian Yun sensed all of this and hurried towards the center of the Southern District before hiding in a basement. He spent the night there and only emerged just before dawn.
However, upon taking a look around, he nearly felt like vomiting blood from frustration.
Almost the entire area was filled with phantoms floating about—dense and numerous, their numbers rivaling that of the Zombies. Moreover, Lian Yun noticed several humans on the ground exuding dark yet powerful auras.
"Could this be some special defense from a Demon Clan force outside Fengdu?"
Lian Yun felt this was quite possible since Demon Clans always relied on numbers to win battles. Even if some Spirits were individually powerful, they preferred to overwhelm humans with sheer quantity.
It was common for a Demon Clan force to possess hundreds or even millions of Spirits; thus, it was entirely plausible that an entire faction had taken over Fengdu's Southern District.
But did they really need to create such a massive formation?
Lian Yun felt somewhat speechless but then suddenly devised a plan in his mind.
Except for Black, all Ghost Slaves returned to his body.
He opened a gap in a bottle filled with the most sinister and toxic aura, then nodded to Black before charging towards the ground.
The timing was perfect; the Purple Qi had just descended. The hatred was overwhelming, and everything was being seized. However, this time, although the Zombies were Howling of Ghosts and Wolves, they did not attack Lian Yun. Instead, all the Spirits adjusted their positions, surrounding Lian Yun and Black in a tight circle of over a hundred layers.
Yet Lian Yun paid no mind to this, engaging in a frenzied and irrational slaughter.
Such reckless attacks naturally left many openings, but Lian Yun didn’t care at all. Even when injured, he didn’t flinch; in fact, he felt even more exhilarated when Spirits entered his body.
As for Black, he transformed into a giant dog, also engaging in a mad frenzy of slaughter and devouring the Spirits. Overall, Lian Yun and Black continued to advance deeper into Fengdu.
However, it was unclear whether it was due to the speed of Lian Yun and Black's killings or something else; within just a few minutes of slaughtering, all the surrounding Spirits began to retreat. Then, an elderly Spirit clad in a long robe approached Black.
The newcomer exuded little presence, yet Black instinctively felt a threat. His fur bristled as he crouched low, poised to either attack or flee at the slightest hint of danger, completely disregarding Lian Yun's situation.
"Not bad, not bad. You could serve as Dog General; commanding a hundred thousand troops would be no problem."
"Who are you?" Black growled.
