Chapter 1648: The Seven Sons of Destiny Fighting Monsters 7
Yang Yu added a piece of wood to the fire. "According to the living people, there are many zombies in the city every night. They chase and bite people and eat their hearts. The people who are eaten will also become zombies, and the cycle repeats over and over again."
"Where are the zombies during the day?" Chang Wuming asked, "With so many zombies, there must be a hiding place."
"It is said to be in the south of the city," Yang Yu recalled the trembling words of the people and tried to extract the key information.
"Kawahara Castle used to be a place for military training. There was a training ground in the south. Now it is occupied by zombies and the weirdos who control them."
Xu Qie yawned and pulled her cloak closer. She was so sleepy that tears came to her eyes. The hawthorn candy in her mouth tasted sour. She ate it with frowned brows, stuffed it to Jing Xingcan, and leaned against Gong Siyue, feeling drowsy.
"So the person who controls the zombies is most likely the Lord of Ten Thousand Ghosts that we are looking for." Gong Siyue guessed.
"Go to sleep first." Yang Yu made the fire burn more vigorously. "Old Four and I will take turns to keep watch. You guys should get some rest."
Jing Xingcan ate a mouthful of hawthorn and stuffed the remaining portion into his arms, "Give it to Xiaochen tomorrow. This thing is sour."
Good brothers should share the joys and sorrows!
He leaned back, patted Chang Wuming's reliable shoulder, and fell asleep with a hawthorn candy in his mouth.
The corners of Chang Wuming's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't move in the end. He kept this posture and closed his eyes to rest.
The night is quiet, and this place is still safe even though it is more than ten miles away from the city.
Yang Yu was playing with firewood leisurely when he suddenly heard low growls and looked towards the source of the sound vigilantly.
There was no grass on that plain, and there was nothing there. Where did the sound come from?
Yang Yu opened the fan in his hand, and several clusters of flames rose into the air, illuminating the way to that place. He looked at Chang Wuming, who had regained consciousness, and nodded in tacit understanding.
Chang Wuming slowly leaned Jing Xingcan's head against the tree trunk on the other side, stood up quickly, grabbed the dagger and guarded this side.
Yang Yu walked towards the place where the strange noise came from.
"Ho..."
A gust of wind blew past Yang Yu from behind. He turned sideways alertly and heard the strange growl again.
But it didn’t seem like it was from the side, but…
Yang Yu frowned, squatted down and put his ear to the ground, and it turned out that he was underground!
There were growls, slow steps, and the sound of chains.
He knocked on it tentatively with his hand; the soil was very thick and there was some distance below.
Suddenly, a dirty sharp claw flashed to the side of Yang Yu!
call out--
The moment Yang Yu dodged, the dagger in Chang Wuming's hand flew out, still carrying spiritual energy, and pierced straight into that hand.
Yang Yu stepped back a few steps, made some hand gestures, and faced another sneak attack with his palm!
The strange creature was killed completely and fell to the ground, its appearance hunched and flexible, and its arms like sharp claws.
"Zombies..."
Yang Yu's tone was solemn. How could this thing appear more than ten miles away from Kawahara Castle?
He gave Chang Wuming a gesture that everything was fine and continued to walk towards the place where he came out.
On a small dirt slope about two miles away, Yang Yu discovered that someone had camped there again.
"Not good." Yang Yu recognized the special wheel tracks and was secretly shocked.
-
"The people from the imperial court have already entered the city before us, and they are led by people from the palace."
The next day, the seven men got together, and Yang Yu immediately told Rong Zixu about his discovery last night.
It just so happens that they also brought some not-so-good news.
Jin Chen chewed hawthorn candy, leaned against the tree trunk with his chest crossed, and said, "We heard some things on the way here. The leader of this team is the prince, and they found a cultivator who is said to be very powerful to help them."
Gong Siyue heard this and said with interest: "In this case, there is no need for us to find an excuse to sneak into the city. We can just fight our way in directly."
"Right on my mind."
Jinchen threw the unfinished snack paper bag back to Jing Xingcan.
"It's so sour and not tasty." Jinchen spat out the hawthorn seed.
Jing Xingcan laughed happily.
Jinchen turned around and went to act coquettishly towards Rong Zixu, kissing him to lessen the jealousy, and licked him until his lips turned red and his breathing became disordered before he stopped.
Jing Xingcan was jumping up and down in anger.
"why is it like this!"
Rong Zixu pinched Jinchen's ear helplessly, "Okay, let's get down to business."
"Oh." Jinchen hugged his waist from behind and listened to him and Yang Yu's discussion.
Half a cup of tea later, seven men rode their horses directly into Kawahara Castle.
The portraits of the Seven Sons of Destiny have spread all over the country. They intentionally exposed their identities on this trip, and no one wore a mask. After the originally panicked people recognized them, they immediately became happy and shouted in the streets that the immortals had come to save them.
"Immortal... Immortal, please save us!"
"We don't want to die and become monsters!"
"Whoa!" Yang Yu slowed down and shouted, "We are here to kill ghosts. Go back to your house and don't come out for the next few days!"
"Remember not to open the door to anyone!" Yang Yu advised.
"Okay! Okay! We'll all listen to the Immortal!"
Seeing that they had all returned home, Yang Yu let go of the reins and followed his fellow masters.
The seven disciples went straight to the parade ground in the south of the city.
As expected, the flag symbolizing the imperial court was erected here and the parade ground was taken over.
"It turns out that seven immortals have come here."
Perhaps they had expected them to come, and the officials greeting them outside were not surprised at all and welcomed them in with a smile.
"The eldest prince sympathizes with the people and heard that there was chaos here, so he rushed here to suppress it."
Jinchen: "Oh, it turns out that chaos is just a new phenomenon in this world."
Even a fool can see what those people in the court are thinking when they come to interfere at this time.
The official choked and said with a wry smile, "We are here. Please go in, seven immortals."
They entered a room, where several half-dead zombies were lying in the middle, tied up with ropes filled with spiritual energy and struggling constantly.
There were several soldiers guarding nearby. The eldest prince was talking to a middle-aged man in black beside him. When they heard the announcement, they all looked towards the door.
Rong Zixu nodded slightly and bowed, "Greetings, Grand Prince."
"It turns out that the immortals have arrived, come in quickly."
There was a gleam of surprise in the eldest prince's eyes. He indeed did not expect that these immortals, who were now famous throughout the world, were so young.
"This is the master that I specially invited to help. Now that the immortal is here, it is just right for us to work together to solve the chaos in this city."
"My name is Xuanjin. I have heard of your seven great names for a long time. Now I am fortunate to meet you." The middle-aged man looked like an immortal.
“Xuanjin…”
Rong Zixu silently repeated the name and found that the person in front of him looked familiar, but he couldn't remember when he had seen him before.
This name is also very unfamiliar.
Jinchen took his hand and squeezed it, "What are you thinking about, brother?"
"It's okay, maybe I'm overthinking it."
Yang Yu also retracted his thoughtful gaze, and approached Rong Zixu and whispered, "Big Brother, they are clearly trying to snatch the Heart of Ten Thousand Ghosts away. If they are controlled by the court, will there be any peace in the world? What should we do?"
Seven people were gifted by heaven to practice in Tianming Mountain. Their purpose was to purify the hearts of all ghosts and suppress the evil spirits when the spiritual energy revived, until the humans on the mainland were strong enough to compete with the evil spirits and monsters.
But if they were caught by the imperial court, the innocent people would have no good life.
"Stay firm in your determination." Rongzi said.
Tianming Mountain can go against the imperial power, but it must fulfill its mission bestowed by heaven.
