Longevity: Starting from Kaiyizhuang

Chapter 127 The Hope of Completion

Zombie world.

It was late at night when a murderous figure suddenly appeared in front of the charity cemetery.

It was Zhang Chu who returned from the Liancheng world. He did not forget to absorb the corpse qi and death qi from the mass grave.

Stepping into the Demon Sealing Array, looking at the increasingly scarce corpse and death energy, Zhang Chu hesitated for a moment and walked straight to the edge of the mass grave.

Looking at the sparse corpse and death energy seeping out from the mass grave, a trace of solemnity appeared on his face.

Something is really wrong. Compared to before, there is far less corpse energy and death energy in the mass grave now.

First, he took out the Corpse King Banner and threw it out directly, covering the mass grave. The corpse qi and death energy were quickly devoured by the Corpse King Banner.

After about a cup of tea, all the corpse and death energy in the mass grave was completely absorbed.

Zhang Chu did not leave. Instead, he closed his eyes and silently sensed the situation at the mass grave.

The powerful perception extended downward along the mass grave.

Soon, he felt a very strong film, which should be the seal below the seal.

On the extremely smooth seal, he indeed "saw" a crack, a very tiny crack, and the corpse qi and death energy were slowly seeping out from the crack.

However, nowadays, the corpse qi and death qi seeping out of the cracks are almost negligible.

After hesitating for a while, Zhang Chu still did not penetrate deeper into the crack.

Instead, he directly used his magic power to control the Corpse King Banner, and emitted an extremely strong suction force towards the crack.

For a moment, a surging stream of corpse qi and death energy was quickly sucked out from the crack and quickly gathered towards the Corpse King Banner.

Zhang Chu's perception also returned to his body, and he used his own magic power to continuously cleanse the Corpse King Banner that had just devoured thousands of zombies, to help the Corpse King Banner digest the corpse qi and dead qi, as well as the zombies it had just devoured.

Time passed little by little, and after about half an hour, no more corpse qi and death qi seeped out from the crack below.

Zhang Chu put away the Corpse King Banner, took out the token, and walked out of the formation.

He walked straight into the charity cemetery.

"Meet the Marshal!"

Several guards on duty saw Zhang Chu and immediately came up.

"Anything going on today?"

Zhang Chu nodded and asked the guard.

In addition to being on duty, these guards also needed to watch the telegraph room.

The telegrams from the charity cemetery really had to be sent out for 20 hours without interruption.

"Marshal,"

After thinking it over carefully, the guard said, "Nothing happens today."

"Uh-huh!"

Zhang Chu nodded and walked into the charity cemetery. After reaching the quiet room, he continued to refine the Corpse King Banner.

Now, there is no need to rush back to the Liancheng world. It will not be too late to go back later.

With the loss of more than 10,000 people, I think the court over there will need some time to react.

Even if they were the ones who brought in the rest of the people, the more than a thousand walking corpses and more than two hundred black zombies in the locust tree forest would not be vegetarians.

Not to mention ten thousand people, even if there were tens of thousands more, they would just turn into zombies after entering.

On the contrary, the Corpse King Banner in his hand is more worthy of Zhang Chu's attention.

After devouring more than ten thousand zombies, the Corpse King Banner actually underwent some changes.

Especially when Zhang Chu was refining the Corpse King Banner, he could feel this change even more.

The Corpse King Banner itself is composed of the banner surface and the banner pole.

It's just that when Zhang Chu was performing the sacrifice, he had to use the flag because there was no suitable flagpole.

To be precise, the Corpse King Banner is not complete.

Now, after devouring so many zombies, the Corpse King Banner actually feels like it's ready to move.

Zhang Chu could clearly feel that on one side of the banner, a hard object as thick as a finger was gradually forming.

Although that thing is very short, it is indeed being generated.

I think that was the flagpole that the Corpse King Banner generated autonomously.

Moreover, inside the flagpole, there are runes that were refined with blood by Zhang Chu when he was refining the Corpse King Banner.

It was because of sensing this scene that Zhang Chu did not return from the zombie world immediately, but began to observe carefully.

If the Corpse King Banner could repair itself, it would save Zhang Chu a lot of trouble.

After watching carefully and sensing it, Zhang Chu smiled bitterly.

The flagpole is as thick as a thumb and less than one millimeter long. If it wants to be fully formed, it would have to devour an unknown number of living beings.

He is not sure now whether the generated flagpole is related to the devouring of those zombies. Now, there are several good opportunities for him to confirm whether the flagpole was formed by devouring living beings.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Zhang Chu appeared directly in the locust tree forest of Liancheng World Charity Cemetery.

Through the thick black fog, Zhang Chu could clearly see the zombies wandering aimlessly in the locust tree forest.

He didn't care about these zombies at all and walked straight towards the charity cemetery.

"Greetings to the Taoist Master,"

As soon as I walked into the charity cemetery, I saw the Taoist priest in black and others who had been waiting there.

"Go take a break!"

Zhang Chu glanced at them and said, "It is impossible for those people to attack for the time being!"

After saying this, Zhang Chu also walked towards the quiet room in the charity cemetery.

He also needs to continue to refine the Corpse King Banner in his hand.

It is really because the evil spirit on the Corpse King Banner is too strong now. As long as it is taken out, animals with slightly sensitive senses will feel as if they are facing a calamity.

Faced with such a Corpse King Banner, Zhang Chu was somewhat helpless.

Only through constant refinement can the Corpse King Banner become more plain and simple.

Just as Zhang Chu was constantly refining the Corpse King Banner in his hand, a group of people arrived from Jingzhou City.

After arriving in Jingzhou, he immediately ordered the city gate to be opened and rushed towards General Tie's camp. It seemed that someone was sent by the court.

"I've seen the envoy!"

When General Tie saw the person coming, he immediately bowed and recounted what had happened.

"Keep attacking!"

A hint of ruthlessness appeared on the visitor's face, "If we fail to capture it, the court will be unstable!"

The imperial court sent troops to attack a certain force, but suffered heavy casualties. Not to mention the face issue, the losses alone were unbearable.

What's more, if they can't even take over a small charity cemetery, it can only prove one thing: the court's control over the world has declined.

By then, many heroes will emerge.

"Fifty thousand troops will be here soon!"

The envoy looked at General Tie and said, "If you still can't capture Yizhuang, then there is no need for you to live!"

"Your Excellency, you should look at the specific situation first!"

General Tie frowned, "It's not that I don't want to accumulate strength for the attack!" "It's that I sent more than 10,000 people away without even making a splash. I can't figure out the specific situation. Even if another 100,000 people come, it will be useless."

"The meaning of the court is what I said,"

The envoy's face turned cold, "Are you going to disobey orders?"

"In my opinion, it is now dark, a good time for a surprise attack. You can send your troops to attack!"

"Then I'm sorry I can't obey your order!"

Looking at the envoy who came, General Tie's face turned cold. How could he attack someone who didn't know anything about the situation?
"If you want to attack, wait until the emissary's men come down, then attack!"

"Do you really want to disobey orders?"

A hint of murderous intent flashed in the envoy's eyes.

"Your Excellency, just take a look and you'll know!"

Having said that, General Tie took the envoy and headed directly towards the south of Jingzhou City.

Not far after walking out of the city gate, under the moonlight, they saw black fog covering an area of ​​more than ten miles.

"Once you enter it, you can't see anything, and not a single piece of information can be transmitted!"

"So there's no need for fire attack?"

"It's no use. The flames entered it and were extinguished in an instant!"

"Where's the kerosene?"

"It was useless to pour flaming oil on it. It was still put out in an instant!"

"It seems that fire is forbidden inside!"

"Send a thousand people first, and go and have a look!"

At this moment, the meaning of taking down the people in the court was made very clear.

General Tie had clearly informed them, but after ten thousand people entered, no news came back.

However, in order to see it with their own eyes, they directly sent more than a thousand people to test the waters.

The Iron General immediately looked embarrassed. He was more than just an Iron General!

It's the same even for General Tie's men.

They were all eyewitnesses of what happened during the day, so they naturally understood that if they entered there, they would die.

How could it be possible to get in so easily?
What's more, if he sent more people to die, I'm afraid those under him would mutiny immediately.

Who would be willing to go if they know they are going to die?
Those soldiers were not unarmed, they were fully armed.

If they rebel, we will be in big trouble.

Seeing that General Tie had no intention of responding, the envoy looked at the others.

However, as long as they saw his gaze, they basically lowered their heads.

At this moment, the envoy's eyes flickered. Could it be that Tie Wuer had two minds?
After receiving Tie Wuer's report in the court, they were all quite confused.

A mere charity cemetery actually lost 10,000 soldiers in one day, which made them think deeply.

Therefore, he sent another 50,000 troops, one to see the specific situation, and the other to see whether General Tie wanted to lead his troops on his own.

If so, they will be wiped out immediately.

However, looking at the frightened expressions of General Tie's men, the envoy understood that it was very likely that the 10,000-strong army was really gone.

"Then let's talk about it tomorrow!"

Seeing that those people would rebel if he let them enter the black fog again, the envoy finally took a step back and planned to wait until the new 50,000 troops arrived before taking any action.

Sometimes, I have to say, there are bugs. At noon the next day, an army of 50,000 came.

Under the order of the envoy, a total of 30,000 people headed towards the area covered by black fog.

Everyone carried a torch and kerosene in their hands.

He was planning to burn this place to the ground.

However, to his surprise, no news came out until the evening, as if the more than 30,000 people were all trapped in it.

Just by testing, the envoy knew that General Tie was not lying to him.

"Brother Tie,"

The envoy said to Tie Wuer, "It's my fault!"

"This matter is of great importance. I have to go to the court again!"

"Your Excellency,"

Tie Wuer hesitated for a moment, "Take care!"

Without 30,000 people at once, even if the envoy is deeply trusted, it will be difficult for him to report to the emperor when he returns.

Maybe this is the last time they see each other.

The most important thing is that the envoy's fate is his fate.

The 10,000 men under Tie Wuer directly joined the remaining 20,000 men, and he stationed in Jingzhou City, silently waiting for more troops to arrive from above.

Zhang Chu was also very busy. Suddenly, there were twenty or thirty thousand more zombies. It would take time to devour them all.

Time flies, and three or five days have passed.

There were only five thousand zombies left in the locust tree forest, and the rest were swallowed by the Corpse King Banner.

After this operation, the flagpole of the Corpse King's flag actually grew to be one millimeter long.

It takes as many as 40,000 to 50,000 zombies to produce one millimeter long. If Zhang Chu wants to make up for it completely, even with his temperament, it would be a headache.

Therefore, he directly gave up the idea of ​​replenishing the Corpse King Banner now.

With continuous adjustments, the zombies were arranged at various nodes of the formation, and the power of the formation became stronger and stronger.

Not to mention anything else, due to the shroud of yin energy and the reinforcement of the formation, the temperature in the locust tree forest was actually five degrees lower than that of other places.

And those zombies located in various nodes are constantly being washed away by the Yin energy every day.

It is estimated that within a few months, these zombies will likely turn into white zombies, within one or two years, they will become black zombies, and within five or six years, they may become armored zombies.

After all, the zombies left behind by Zhang Chu are all zombies with good qualifications, zombies with hope of promotion.

Just think about it, after more than ten years of kung fu, Zhang Chu has four to five thousand armored corpses in his hands. How terrifying!
Even if he does nothing from now on, after ten years or so, his magic power will increase crazily.

However, the highest these zombies can grow into is armored zombies, and armored zombies are their ceiling.

It is simply impossible to continue growing.

With the formation adjusted and the court also losing tens of thousands of troops, I think they can calm down now.

Zhang Chu dispersed the black fog and it was time to talk to them.

He didn't want to get involved in any dynastic change. The current court was good enough as long as it could cooperate with his ideas.

As for the savior, whoever wants to be one can be it, but he doesn't want to be one anyway.

All he wants is to collect resources to help himself live longer.

As the fog dissipated, Tie Wuer in Jingzhou City immediately knew it.

He immediately led thousands of personal guards and rushed towards the locust tree forest.
