Chapter 588: Two Flowers Bloom
sker Wu Lianyi, you still have three days of rest this time. Next time, you can also choose your own task. I will tell you the shortlisted beginner tasks.""Hmph! Just don't try to trick me."The ripple...Musen stared at the red-clothed ghost putting on a show in front of him, a dangerous light flashing in his eyes. However, he restrained the urge to kill her instantly. Holding a miniature formation disk in his hand, he said coldly:
"I advise you to return to the underworld. This is not where you belong."
"Master, please, I've been wandering in the underworld for so long that even my past memories are blurry. All I remember is my lover. As long as you can help me see my lover one last time, I'm willing to help you bring those who have mistakenly entered the underworld back to the world of the living."
Hong Ji said with a resolute and enduring expression.
Musi Nian's expression faltered upon hearing this.
Hongji, seeing the other person's reaction, was delighted. She immediately pressed on, saying:
“I can bring all of them back right now, as long as you let me see my lover again. And I am willing to be taken into any artifact of yours. If I do anything harmful to you, you can scatter my soul.”
After finishing her words, Hongji's figure became misty and she returned to the Netherworld, seemingly to bring back those who had mistakenly entered.
Mushi's eyes followed the other figure disappear. Only then did a cruel expression appear on his face. This Ghost King had actually appeared ahead of schedule, and she used the same excuse as in his last life.
Unfortunately, he is not strong enough right now to kill the opponent immediately. However, he can use the opponent to complete the task first, and then find a way to bring this female ghost king back to Longhushan. He can't deal with the female ghost king, could Master still not be able to handle her
Mussyun, having made up his mind, reined in all expressions, patiently waiting in the room where two realms intersected.
Hongji actually took the time to bring back all the living people who had mistakenly entered the underworld to deliver a message to Mushi. She led them all back to the resort. As for these people, they were contaminated with Yin energy because they had been to the underworld, so she couldn't handle them.
Mucine saw that the other party had really brought back the missing people. His attitude softened a lot. He first soothed those who were frightened, removed the negative energy from them, and erased that part of their memory. The rest was to seal off the passageway and send the wandering spirits in the resort back to where they came from.
Hong Ji, in order to demonstrate her power, immediately cast a look around. It gathered all the lingering souls who were still wandering at the resort together. Then, under her threat, they reluctantly returned to the underworld.
Musinian's expression remained unchanged, and he immediately used the miniature formation plate he had taken from his sect to close the intersecting passages. He perfectly completed this mission.
"This time I was able to complete the mission successfully thanks to your help. Although you're a ghost and I'm a Taoist priest, we were originally on opposite sides, but I wouldn't take advantage of you for nothing."
As long as you stay by my side and promise not to harm anyone, and after your wish is fulfilled, you'll obediently go to where you belong, then I'll agree to help you.
With a bland expression, Mushiyan addressed Hongji.
Hong Ji was overjoyed upon hearing this. The first step had been successful. As long as she stayed by the other person's side, she would have a chance to influence them. So she immediately performed an ancient ritual and said in a coquettish manner:
"Thank you, esteemed master, for your grace. This humble servant Hong Ji is willing to follow by your side, serving and attending to you. As long as my wish is fulfilled, I will immediately return to the underworld to be reborn."
"Okay, remember what you said today. If you go back on your word, don't blame me for being impolite."
Mu Xian said the closing remarks, then took out a locust wood sign and said to Hong Ji:
"You have too much negative energy, it's not convenient for you to walk outside. Stay here first!"
"Yes!"
Hongji obediently followed, transforming into red mist and drifting into the HMU sign.
She sensed it, realizing that this young Celestial Master hadn't sealed the Huai Mu Talisman. She felt even more pleased; he was still too inexperienced. But he had done her a great favor just by being here, conveniently allowing her to quietly release her Yin Qi and corrode his body.
A celestial master and a ghost king, each with their own hidden motives, gathered together and set off on the road to the next mission point.
The ripples on the other side were unaware that their disciple had already met with the Ghost King, Hong Ji. She was currently patrolling the border line with a squad of warriors, aiming to lure out the zombie.
The warriors in this class have all been equipped with Ripple armor. Even if they encounter elusive zombies, they will no longer be as passive as before.
Halfway through the patrol route, nothing had happened. Everyone was getting anxious, except for Ripple, who was wearing the same military uniform and remained very calm.
"Don't get distracted, keep moving forward. Even if it doesn't appear tonight, it will tomorrow. You guys haven't patrolled in so long, the other side hasn't had any blood food, they must be getting impatient."
As soon as the ripples of her voice faded, a dark figure rushed towards her.
Because Ripples deliberately stood at the end of the line, the easiest place to attack, she naturally became the first target.
In the eyes of others, he was a shadow. To Ripples, he was a zombie cloaked in black, his claws reaching for her neck. She, in turn, struck with equal swiftness, aiming for his own throat.
The other hand of the ripples directly lifted the opponent's black cloak, and a white-haired zombie appeared before everyone.
The soldiers at the front, still advancing, suddenly felt a chill wind behind them. Then, they sharply heard the cracking sound of bones breaking. They turned around and saw the Taoist priest already engaged in battle with the monster. Immediately, he pulled back the bolt on his rifle and shouted, "Sergeant!"
Everyone turned back, pulling their triggers with the same swiftness, encircling Ripples and the white-haired zombie. But no one dared to fire for fear of harming Ripples.
Liàn Yī, wielding her divine power, had already snapped the White-Haired Corpse's neck. Yet, the creature continued to "huff and puff," emitting a ghastly sound from its throat.
Liàn yī swiftly drew out a Zi Lei Fu, slapping it on the other's head. The purple lightning from the talisman immediately plunged into the opponent's head, causing Bái Jīng to let out a scream before collapsing to the ground.
"Ah!" a cry rang out from the soldiers surrounding Ripples, for another monster had appeared. It bore the semblance of a human, clad in armor identical to theirs, and pounced upon one of the warriors, its jaws wide open, aiming for the man's neck.
"Class monitor, it's Li Chenggang! How did he become like this!"
A warrior exclaimed.
"Master Wu, come quickly!"
Immediately someone shouted, in just that short moment, three more patrol soldiers were knocked down, and the ones who knocked them down were also the missing soldiers.
"Sun Qiang, what's wrong with you"
"Zhao Feng"
Ripple couldn't believe that the mastermind had released a freshly zombified Purple Corpse, and even worse, it was a comrade of these warriors. The opponent seized on the warriors' reluctance to attack, wanting to turn them into blood food for the Purple Corpses.
With a flick of his hand, Lian Ri brought out a miniature array disk. After inputting spiritual energy to activate it, he slapped it onto the ground. As the array unfolded, it ensnared all the purple zombies that rushed over.
It was only then that Liàn Yī opened his mouth coldly:
"Stop screaming, they're fully zombified now, turned into purple zombies. If you don't want to become their food, or see them transform into man-eating monsters, then shoot them. At the very least, it'll bring back their whole bodies for burial."y even take advantage of those who are observing their filial duties, disregarding the most basic principles of propriety, righteousness, and morality."Shiso said, with a biting remark.Okay, stop talk...
