Chapter 676: Chapter 677: Hundred Saints Cemetery

Inside Wanzang Mountain.

This was a blood-red land, as if it had witnessed a terrifying war, with fresh blood dyeing the land and numerous unclaimed gravestones standing everywhere.

The weather here was overcast, the sky covered in haze, and the howling winds cut like knives, akin to the wailing of ghosts and wolves.

Ye Wudao and his companions arrived at this place.

"We’ve arrived at the Hundred Saints Cemetery!" Shi Fei excitedly said.

"The journey here was too smooth, all thanks to our leader!" Shi Lingling’s eyes were filled with admiration as she looked at Ye Wudao.

"The Hundred Saints Cemetery?" Ye Wudao’s eyes showed curiosity.

"Leader, you might not be aware, but this Hundred Saints Cemetery was originally an ancient battlefield. No less than a million people died here, and it’s said that several hundred Saint Heir warriors fell as well. Hence, it was named the Hundred Saints Cemetery!" Shi Tie explained.

Ye Wudao’s gaze turned solemn.

Looking at this place, akin to a mass burial ground, he was surprised to find that it was actually the burial site of several hundred pseudo-Saint Heirs!

At that moment, a panicked figure ran towards them, looking as if they had seen a ghost. It was a member of one of the four great imperial families.

"What’s wrong with him?" Shi Lingling and the others curiously looked over.

"Corpses, the corpses are reanimating!" The panicked man’s face was filled with fear, as if he had witnessed some terrifying scene.

Reanimating corpses?

Ye Wudao and the others were taken aback.

Just then, a few more people came running, hysterical.

"Too horrifying!"

"Let’s run fast!"

Every one of them had an expression of terror on their faces, as if they had encountered great horror.

Ye Wudao’s party couldn’t help but look more solemn.

Thump!

Thump!

At that moment, the sound of fighting echoed from ahead.

"It seems like there’s a battle happening up front!" Shi Fei’s ears were extremely sensitive.

"Let’s go and have a look," Ye Wudao’s body flashed, vanishing on the spot.

The three hurriedly followed him.

A few kilometers away.

In a mass burial ground, more than a dozen members of the four great imperial families were battling a group of monsters. These figures, dressed in ancient clothing, with faces red and fierce fangs, were extremely vicious.

"My God, is that..." Shi Lingling and the others were so shocked that they covered their mouths with their hands, disbelieving.

Ye Wudao’s pupils shrunk, and two words slipped out: "Zombies!"

These ghoulish, fang-faced corpses, able to walk, were exactly the zombies Ye Wudao had read about in an ancient text from Kunlun!

"What, zombies?" Shi Lingling and the others showed shock.

"This place is extremely yin-heavy and it’s a land of corpse sha. These bodies have been buried here for too long, absorbing the essence of corpse energy. It’s normal for them to become zombies," Ye Wudao said.

That makes sense!

Shi Lingling and the others suddenly realized!

The disciples of the four great imperial families were fiercely battling hundreds of zombies. Leading them, Gu Tong exhibited divine might, quickly sweeping away the zombies surrounding them.

"It’s no wonder Gu Tong is so formidable!"

"Indeed powerful!" The group of disciples fell over themselves with flattery.

"Seems like these zombies aren’t that strong after all!" Shi Fei scoffed.

"Hehe, zombies also have hierarchical types, including the weakest white zombies and black zombies, which are just recently deceased. Their strength is just a bit more powerful than that of an average martial artist. Then there are the red zombies, with copper arms and iron bones, and also purple zombies and blood zombies, which all possess intelligence. Even ordinary Saint Heirs can’t kill them!" Ye Wudao said.

"The zombies that Gu Tong and his group defeated, were they red zombies?" Shi Tie asked.

"Correct." Ye Wudao nodded.

"Then Leader, are there zombies more powerful than blood zombies?" Shi Fei, being quite gossipy, curiously asked.

"There are," Ye Wudao nodded, speaking with a heavy expression, "Above the blood zombies are the legendary flying zombies, with the ability to fly through the sky and escape through the ground, causing even ordinary Saint-level powerhouses to shudder at the mere thought!"

Hiss!

Shi Lingling and the others gasped in astonishment!

Just thinking about how zombies could fly through the sky and burrow through the earth sent chills down their spines!

"However, flying zombies are not the most terrifying!" Ye Wudao said with a grave look in his eyes, "I once saw in an ancient book from Kunlun that there is a type of zombie known as the Drought Demon, rumored to be a thousand-year-old Corpse King with intelligence no less than that of humans. It can slay dragons and unleash a terrible plague that could injure or kill a million people. When a Drought Demon appears, not a blade of grass grows for thousands of miles around, and even the mightiest of martial saints have to stay far away!"

"Gulp!" The three of them paled and couldn’t help trembling.

"How terrifying!"

"Let’s just go back!" Shi Lingling said in fear.

Seeing how scared they were, Ye Wudao couldn’t help but chuckle and said, "Do you think it’s that easy to come across a Drought Demon? It’s just a legend!"

Phew!

The three of them sighed in relief!

Ye Wudao and his companions continued to approach the Hundred Saints Cemetery.

The deeper they went, the thicker the stench of decay became as the wind howled like the cries of ghosts and the howls of wolves.

Before their eyes lay a chaotic expanse of burial mounds, densely packed and exceedingly eerie to behold.

However, the journey was unexpectedly smooth, and they hadn’t encountered a single zombie!

"Hey, what are those people from the Demon Sect doing over there?" Shi Fei asked, pointing ahead with keen eyes.

"What are those people from the Demon Sect doing sneaking around that tomb?" Shi Lingling asked curiously.

"Why not just ask them?" Ye Wudao walked over and said casually, "Hey, people of the Demon Sect, what are you up to?"

When several hundred Demon Sect prodigies looked back and saw their ’creditor’ approaching, Lin Rui gritted his teeth and said, "We’re looking for the Blood Essence Flower!"

Blood Essence Flower?

Shi Lingling and the others looked curious.

Ye Wudao explained with a smile, "The Blood Essence Flower grows in places filled with yin and sha energies, containing astonishing power. Even the most common Blood Essence Flower is worth several million Spirit Stones!"

"It’s that valuable?" The three of them gasped in astonishment.

"Humph, I didn’t expect this guy to know!" Lin Rui’s gaze turned icy.

Suddenly, an excited Demon Sect disciple exclaimed, "Found it, found it!"

Holding a blood-colored flower, he said with an excited face, "It’s the Blood Essence Flower!"

Blood Essence Flower!

All the disciples from the Demon Sect crowded around, their faces filled with envy.

"Hey, hand it over if you’ve dug it up," Ye Wudao urged, taking out the Blood Covenant from his body.

"You!" The several hundred Demon Sect disciples glared at Ye Wudao, furious and helpless.

"Give it to him!" Lin Rui, grinding his teeth, instructed his subordinates to hand the Blood Essence Flower to Ye Wudao.

Ye Wudao caught the Blood Essence Flower single-handedly and bit into it. Crunch, it was crisp, and the taste was not bad.

After swallowing it, his body immediately erupted with a surging power, and his cultivation improved somewhat.

"Not bad, not bad! Keep digging!" Ye Wudao urged.

All the Demon Sect disciples dared not speak out in anger. After all, they had signed a servitude contract.

"Dig faster, and redeem yourself sooner!" Lin Rui urged.

"Yes!"

Several hundred Demon Sect disciples began digging around the tombs, searching for the silhouette of the Blood Essence Flower.

"Lin Rui, you dig too!" Ye Wudao urged.

What?

I’m supposed to dig too?

Hearing Ye Wudao’s words, Lin Rui was in disbelief. With his status as an almost Saint Heir of the Demon Sect, he was now supposed to dig graves.

"What, you don’t want to?" Ye Wudao leaned against a tomb, looking nonchalant.

"I!"

The fury in Lin Rui’s chest felt like it was going to explode. Suppressing his dissatisfaction, he started doing something he had always disdained in his life.

"Damn it, Ye Wudao, you’re going too far! Making me, a dignified almost Saint Heir of the Demon Sect, dig graves!" Lin Rui picked up a shovel, and despite feeling humiliated, he clenched his teeth and said, "Hurry up everyone, the quicker we finish, the sooner we’re free!"

Watching the several hundred Demon Sect disciples working for him, bustling with activity, Ye Wudao leaned back lazily, sipping a cup of python blood wine, basking in satisfaction. How pleasurable it was!

Feeling like a cutthroat boss was just the best!
