Chapter 837: An Ominous Premonition
A group of zombies plummeted from the sky as if reveling, like a group of bandits preparing to plunder. However, before they could descend into the clouds, wisps of deadly spiritual sense swept over them.
“Swish swish…”
The wisps of spiritual sense moved extremely fast, instantly binding all the zombies and then tightening slightly.
“Puchi… Puchi…”
The next moment, over a hundred zombie minions’ bodies were cut into pieces of various sizes and fell, leaving only the leader, a Silver Corpse, looking bewildered.
“What the hell is this?”
The Silver Corpse roared and struggled desperately, but it was no match for Qi Huang’s wisps of spiritual sense.
“This is… spiritual sense? How is this possible? How can a mere low-level world possess such strong spiritual sense?”
The Silver Corpse was inexplicably surprised. Just then, a powerful pulling force came, and it felt a blur before its eyes. When its vision recovered, it found itself in a starry sky.
The Silver Corpse looked around blankly and realized it was in the starry sky of the Cultivation World. In front of it stood two beautiful women who looked identical, one of whom wore a veil and had a clone mark between her eyebrows.
“Who are you?”
The Silver Corpse asked reflexively.
“I should be asking you that. Who are you, and why did you go to a low-level world?”
Qi Huang countered with a cold smile.
“Hmph, why should I… Ah…”
The Silver Corpse reflexively attempted to resist, but before it could finish speaking, it cried out in alarm because it discovered its right arm had been severed from its body.
Cheng Hong Ling casually placed the Blue Scale Sword at the Silver Corpse’s neck: “Speak.”
“How dare you hurt me? My master will definitely tear you to shreds!”
The Silver Corpse threatened angrily because zombies didn’t have much pain sensation, which allowed it to remain defiant.
Cheng Hong Ling retaliated by slicing off the Silver Corpse’s left arm with a sword and then placing the Blue Scale Sword at its neck: “I’ll give you another chance.”
“Great Immortal, spare my life! I’ll say it… I’ll say it…”
The Silver Corpse was thoroughly terrified and stammered: “My name is Cai Tao, and I’m a zombie from the Immortal Realm. I went to the low-level world on my master’s orders to find a woman with a red tear mole on her face.”
“Red tear mole?”
Cheng Hong Ling was stunned upon hearing this, then asked Qi Huang via mind transmission: “It’s not you, is it?”
“Who knows?”
Qi Huang said with a wry smile.
“This zombie is from the Immortal Realm, so its master must be strong. If it’s really looking for you, it will be troublesome.”
Cheng Hong Ling’s tone became serious. She continued to interrogate the zombie: “Who is your master? How strong is she? What does she want the woman with the tear mole for?”
“Reporting to the Immortal Fairy, my master’s name is Yang Jie, and she is a zombie of the Earth Demon level. As for why she is looking for a woman with a red tear mole, I don’t know.”
Cai Tao, the Silver Corpse, truthfully confessed.
“Earth Demon?”
Cheng Hong Ling’s expression became increasingly serious. The strength of an Earth Demon was comparable to an Earth Immortal, and even in the Immortal Realm, which was full of experts, they were considered Hegemons of regions.
“Where did the assimilation power on your body come from?”
Qi Huang took over the conversation and asked.
“What assimilation power?”
Cai Tao looked bewildered.
“It’s the pink power that envelops your body. Without it, you wouldn’t have been able to reach a low-level world.”
Qi Huang explained impatiently.
“Are you talking about this? My master also bestowed this upon me, naturally to facilitate my actions.”
Cai Tao revealed everything he knew.
“Are there many evil spirits like you, who descend to the lower realms with assimilation power?”
Qi Huang quickly asked.
“There are about forty to fifty of them, all leaders of their respective search teams.”
Cai Tao pondered for a moment and replied.
“Forty to fifty?”
Qi Huang’s face revealed excitement. If the assimilation power on these forty to fifty zombies were as abundant as this one, the total amount would definitely be considerable.
“Last question, where does your teleportation gate lead to?”
Qi Huang composed herself and then asked.
“Reporting to the Immortal Fairy, the opposite side of our teleportation gate is Hongyu Star in the White Ram Galaxy, the second low-level world. However, this is only a part of the entire teleportation array.”
Cai Tao explained.
“Wait, what do you mean by ‘second low-level world’?”
Cheng Hong Ling interjected.
“Immortal Fairy, beneath the Five Elements Heavenly Dao are countless worlds, divided into high, medium, and low ranks. You should know this, right? And within each rank, there is more than just one or two worlds. To distinguish them, the Heavenly Realm has numbered them according to the richness of spiritual energy. The world where Cangmang Star is located ranks second among the low-level worlds, making it considered relatively strong, at least capable of having ascendants.”
Cai Tao was more patient than any academy teacher to save his life.
“I see!”
Cheng Hong Ling nodded in understanding.
“So what’s the situation with Hongyu Star? Do you have any forces stationed there? How strong are they?”
Qi Huang continued to ask, as teleportation gates always came in pairs, and if she wanted to utilize this, she had to obtain the other end as well.
“There… isn’t…”
Cai Tao hesitated, clearly still holding onto some unrealistic hope.
“Is there or isn’t there?”
Cheng Hong Ling pressed her sword an inch closer, directly cutting Cai Tao’s throat.
“There is… there are thousands of Ghost Tribe members stationed there, and the strongest is a Flying Bone level skeleton.”
Cai Tao quickly confessed.
“Flying Bone?”
Cheng Hong Ling thought for a moment, then asked Qi Huang via mind transmission: “Do you believe him?”
“It doesn’t matter. I’m not planning to walk into a trap directly. We’ll lie in wait here. If those evil spirits discover something is wrong, they will definitely send people to investigate one after another. We’ll deal with them slowly. If we can beat them, we will, and if we can’t, we’ll run.”
Qi Huang expressed her thoughts.
“Okay.”
Cheng Hong Ling found it feasible and thus adopted this plan.
“Immortal Fairy, I’ve confessed everything. Can you let me go now?”
Cai Tao pleaded subserviently from the side.
“You have indeed confessed, but who knows how much of it is true? You just get into this Storage Ring and stay there. Once we confirm that everything you said is true, we will naturally let you go.”
Qi Huang gave a casual reason and then collected Cai Tao into an empty Storage Ring.
“It’s good to keep him. We know nothing about these evil spirits right now, so we need someone to act as a guide.”
Cheng Hong Ling agreed with this.
Qi Huang’s spiritual sense emerged from her body again, transforming into a large hand that reached into the spatial rift. She then grabbed the massive teleportation gate and pulled it out forcefully, explaining, “It’s better to move it to the Cultivation World. Otherwise, I won’t be able to go all out if we fight in a low-level world.”
Next, the couple retreated far away and continued to monitor the teleportation gate that was now located in the Cultivation World.
“Why do you think those evil spirits’ masters possess assimilation power?”
While waiting, Cheng Hong Ling couldn’t help but ask Qi Huang.
“Unable to determine.”
Qi Huang pondered for a long time and then shook her head.
“I have an ominous premonition right now.”
Cheng Hong Ling said softly.
“What’s wrong?”
Qi Feng asked with concern.
“Think about it. The master of this group of evil spirits is looking for a woman with blood tears. This means she must know the origin of these blood tears, and she can use assimilation power. Isn’t this very similar to your current situation?”
Cheng Hong Ling reminded her.
“You mean that the master of this group of evil spirits might be like us, an inheritor of Lu Yao’s bloodline?”
Qi Feng pondered for a moment, then her expression changed.
“Yes, otherwise, why would she be looking for blood tears? You should not have forgotten how important blood tears are to Lu Yao, right?”
Cheng Hong Ling’s tone was extremely serious.
“Once Lu Yao sees these blood tears, her power will grow rapidly, so these blood tears are equivalent to her source of power.”
Qi Feng recalled for a moment and said sentence by sentence.
“That’s right, this is why she wants blood tears.”
Cheng Hong Ling concluded.
“Then why don’t we experience an increase in power when we see blood tears?”
Qi Feng raised a question.
“Perhaps it’s because we are still alive. The living cannot absorb yin energy.”
Cheng Hong Ling speculated, then added: “Of course, this is just a guess. As for the real situation, we’ll have to investigate slowly.”
Qi Feng fell silent. For some reason, she also had a bad feeling at this moment.
Cheng Hong Ling, on the other hand, entered the Storage Ring and began to absorb the assimilation power from Cai Tao’s body.
The couple waited like this. When Cheng Hong Ling had initially grasped the domain of assimilation, over a dozen more evil spirits emerged from the teleportation gate.
“Damn it, this teleportation gate should be near Cangmang Star. Where did it bring me?”
The leading Golden Corpse looked around in astonishment and confusion.
