Seeing a Silver-haired Zombie about to emerge, Jiang Chen and Murong Xiangming exchanged a look.
"Let’s go."
Jiang Chen didn’t dare to linger and decided it was best to retreat immediately.
The Martial Cultivators currently had the upper hand against the zombies.
However, the appearance of a Silver-haired Zombie was sure to turn the tide of battle.
When that happened, everyone would have to run for their lives.
What worried Jiang Chen the most, however, was the possibility of a Golden-haired Zombie appearing. If that happened, everyone would be doomed.
Without hesitation, the two quickly found a dark passageway and ducked inside.
Seeing Jiang Chen and Murong Xiangming leave, Xiao Jun, the captain of the Black Demon Mercenary Corps, thought for a moment before quietly leading his team away.
Even Mr. Jiao, the captain of the Autumn Wind Mercenary Corps, paused in thought for a moment.
Then he bellowed, "Hurry! Everyone, kill the Green-haired Zombies!"
"If we all swarm that Silver-haired Zombie, it won’t stand a chance!"
Despite his words, he was already backing away, quietly leading his men in retreat.
Meanwhile, the others, unaware of his deception, continued to fight bravely against the zombies.
"ROAR..."
The first Silver-haired Zombie thrashed its way out of the pool of blood.
It stood over ten feet tall.
A truly terrifying sight.
It was covered in long, silvery-white fur and snarled, baring its fangs.
With a furious roar, it charged at the Martial Cultivators.
Meanwhile, the pool of blood continued to churn.
A second Silver-haired Zombie was about to emerge.
Silver-haired Zombies began to emerge one after another.
The Martial Cultivators’ situation instantly became dire.
They were forced into a constant retreat.
Someone looked around and cried out in alarm, "Where’s Mr. Jiao?"
"Dammit, they all fled! We have to get out of here!"
That shout sent the crowd scattering like startled birds, and they all turned to flee.
Behind them, the Green-haired and Silver-haired Zombies roared endlessly in hot pursuit.
People fell one after another, only to rise again as zombies.
Even a Martial King Expert was struck down.
The scene was a brutal massacre.
Fortunately, the area was a maze of passageways, allowing many to escape down different paths.
The zombies split into packs to chase them down the tunnels.
All at once, the area fell silent.
"CREAK..."
Another strange sound echoed.
It came from the pool of blood in the great pit.
The blood roiled.
Streaks of golden light swirled within the churning blood.
It was as if some primeval beast was about to burst forth.
But by now, the Martial Cultivators and the other zombies were all gone.
"CRACK... CRACK..."
Just then, a fissure suddenly split open in one of the walls.
A few figures emerged from the opening.
"Hahahaha! How ridiculous. They all want to get their hands on the Lin Family’s treasure."
"Then let the zombies here give them a warm welcome."
A man at the head of the group let out a booming laugh.
A man beside him chuckled. "Manor Master, you are truly brilliant."
"Who would have thought that after entering the Lin Family Ancestral Tomb, we’d run into the Deadman’s Pit? These Martial Cultivators ended up opening the tomb for us."
The man in the lead was none other than Lin Ying.
He smiled as he walked toward the great pit.
Indeed, opening the Lin Family Ancestral Tomb was no simple task.
It required activating both the Blood Water Array and the Corpse Transformation Array.
Activating the Blood Water Array, in turn, required the Deadman’s Pit to be filled with a massive amount of fresh blood.
Even Lin Ying hadn’t known this at first. He had entered the ancestral tomb ahead of everyone else, only to be stopped at the Deadman’s Pit.
He had been planning to leak the news himself to lure people in and fill the Deadman’s Pit with their blood.
He just never expected someone else would beat him to it.
"I should thank whoever spread the news. They did me a huge favor."
He was delighted.
At the same time, he ambled toward the great pit.
"ROAR..."
Just then, an explosive roar erupted from the pool of blood.
The golden light intensified.
Lin Ying smiled. "It seems the Golden-haired Zombie King is about to appear."
"With the Golden-haired Zombie King on my side, I’ll have no trouble obtaining the Ten Directions Calculation."
Lin Ying had been scheming to get the Ten Directions Calculation from the Lin Family Ancestral Tomb for a long time, so he naturally knew some of its secrets.
Now, he stood by the edge of the blood pool, waiting.
He intended to subjugate the Golden-haired Zombie King.
After a moment, the blood began to churn violently.
Two thick, golden-furred arms emerged from the blood.
They were followed by a hideous head, also gleaming with golden light, its fangs long and sharp.
As it appeared, its blood-red eyes fixed on Lin Ying and his men, flashing with malevolent light.
"ROAR..."
Before it had even fully emerged, it was already roaring at Lin Ying’s group.
The terrifying aura it exuded forced Lin Ying’s guards to stumble back.
Some couldn’t even keep their footing and fell flat on their backsides.
"This is..."
"Such a terrifying Golden-haired Zombie King... It has a Martial Arts Cultivation!"
The guards were terrified.
Of course, they only remained calm because they knew their Manor Master had a way to subjugate this Zombie King.
Even so, they couldn’t shake their fear.
"Haha, come on out, Zombie King!"
"My success in obtaining the Ten Directions Calculation depends on your power!"
As the Golden-haired Zombie King appeared, the blood in the pool began to rapidly recede.
Soon, the upper half of the Golden-haired Zombie King’s body was visible.
Its thick arms were horrifying to behold.
"ROAR..."
With another roar, the Golden-haired Zombie King rose to its feet in the blood pool, its body towering thirty feet high.
Then, as if a whale were drinking the sea, the Golden-haired Zombie King absorbed every last drop of blood from the pool.
A vicious glint flashed in its eyes. The Golden-haired Zombie King radiated an icy, sinister aura, so cold that even those standing far away could feel the chill.
Even Lin Ying, with his Martial King Cultivation, was somewhat taken aback.
However, his surprise quickly turned to excitement.
He licked his lips greedily.
A small porcelain bottle slowly materialized in his hand. Inside was the very blood he had taken from Lin Yuan.
"Come on!"
He shouted excitedly at the Golden-haired Zombie King.
"ROAR..."
The Golden-haired Zombie King possessed a sliver of intelligence.
Upon realizing it was being provoked, it snarled, baring its long, sharp fangs.
With an enraged roar, it leaped out of the blood pool.
Its massive body immediately took to the air.
As a being with a Martial Arts Cultivation, the Golden-haired Zombie King could naturally fly with ease.
Without a moment’s hesitation, it dove from the sky toward Lin Ying and his men.
It looked as if it intended to devour them all in a single gulp.
"Right on cue."
Seeing this, Lin Ying was overjoyed.
He opened the porcelain bottle in his hand, and a single drop of blood shot out, flying straight toward the Golden-haired Zombie King.
’Why would the Golden-haired Zombie King care about a single drop of blood?’
"SPLAT!"
The drop of blood landed squarely on the Zombie King.
The Golden-haired Zombie King, which had been diving forward, shuddered violently.
The next moment, it plummeted from the sky like a meteorite.
"BOOM..."
With a dull thud, the Golden-haired Zombie King, a being of Martial Arts Cultivation, crashed directly into the ground.
It landed in a pathetic heap.
"Hahahaha..."
Lin Ying let out a crazed laugh.
"The blood of the Lin Family suppresses the zombies here."
"It looks like my theory was completely correct."
He had used the blood of Lin Yuan from the Lin Family to suppress the zombie.
After all, this was the Lin Family Ancestral Tomb. The Lin ancestors would surely never allow their own descendants to be harmed.
Any descendant of the Lin Family could enter this place and retrieve the treasure.
Although Lin Ying shared the Lin surname, he was not a member of the Lin Family. The former Lin Family Patriarch had merely granted him the name.
That was why he had to rely on Lin Yuan’s bloodline to suppress the Zombie King.
And it had worked instantly.
The Golden-haired Zombie clambered back to its feet, completely unharmed. But now, when it looked at Lin Ying, its gaze had softened.
"Come here."
Lin Ying beckoned to the Golden-haired Zombie King.
The Golden-haired Zombie King, a mighty being with a Martial Arts Cultivation, obediently trotted over to Lin Ying like a puppy.
"Squat."
Lin Ying commanded.
The Golden-haired Zombie King immediately squatted down.
Lin Ying leaped onto the Golden-haired Zombie King’s shoulder.
"Let’s go. Take me to the Ten Directions Calculation."
The Golden-haired Zombie King rose, and carrying Lin Ying, it left the great pit, heading in the direction he pointed.
