Yunmeng Immortal Clan

One zombie was killed by Song Hongshu and the others, and then the rest of the zombies moved in response.

Immediately, Song Hongshu and a group of Qi Refining cultivators from her family mustered their courage and engaged in a fierce battle with the zombies amidst the thick gloom.

Even the Qi Refining cultivators in the family have some difficulty dealing with the lowest-level zombies. Fortunately, the Song family's cultivators are also very shrewd. The eight cultivators are divided into three groups, with two or three Qi Refining cultivators usually dealing with the zombies in front of them.

As for Song Hongshu, she was a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the family, and with her cultivation level, dealing with these zombies was extremely easy.

In just a few moments, the zombies in this alley were completely wiped out.

Song Hongshu touched a zombie corpse, took out a sharp dagger from her storage bag, cut open the zombie's brain, and took out a dark green bead.

This is a Corpse Pearl, containing corpse poison. It has some value in the cultivation world and can be exchanged for a few spirit stones in the market.

The corpse poison extracted from the corpse bead can help some demonic cultivators practice certain demonic techniques.

Unfortunately, not every zombie corpse has this kind of corpse bead.

However, if one reaches the level of an armored corpse, the probability of producing a low-level corpse bead will reach over 90%. However, some armored corpses will produce rare mid-level corpse beads, and the corpse energy of a mid-level corpse bead is more than a hundred times that of a low-level corpse bead.

There were dozens of zombie corpses present, and Song Hongshu and her group only managed to retrieve a handful of corpse beads.

Corpse beads may have some value to cultivators, but they are extremely harmful to ordinary people in the secular world.

If a mortal is bitten by a zombie, he will be infected with the zombie virus and turn into a zombie.

The Corpse Pearl is the vessel for corpse energy. Cultivators have spiritual energy in their bodies, which can help them avoid the pollution of corpse energy. However, ordinary people do not have spiritual roots and cannot accumulate spiritual energy in their bodies. As long as they get too close to the Corpse Pearl or come into contact with anything polluted by the Corpse Pearl, they are extremely likely to undergo corpse transformation.

Just after Song Hongshu resolved the issue of the corpse transformation, another place in Huanggang County was engulfed in flames and smoke.

Just then, Song Hongshu and her group walked out of the alley and resolved the zombie outbreak. Huang Qiweng, the magistrate of Huanggang County, rushed over and bowed to Song Hongshu and her group, saying:

"Esteemed immortals, another zombie outbreak has occurred at another location. We implore your generous assistance!"

Upon hearing this, Song Hongshu and her group headed to another location.

At the next location, Song Hongshu discovered that the zombies were still walking corpses, but their numbers had increased dramatically.

After dealing with the zombies, Song Hongshu, dressed in a plain dress, brushed her hair aside with her hand, her whole body covered in fragrant sweat.

At this moment, Huang Qiweng, the magistrate of Huanggang County, sent another urgent report.

Song Hongshu then felt tired.

She took out a first-tier talisman, a cleansing talisman, from her storage bag.

Once used, the cleansing talisman can immediately cleanse the cultivator's body.

Some male cultivators naturally couldn't bear to use it.

The other cultivators of the Qinglian Song Clan were also reluctant to use this talisman to cleanse their bodies, since spirit stones were cultivation resources and should be saved whenever possible.

However, Song Hongshu is currently a second-tier talisman master, and she can occasionally refine second-tier talismans, so refining first-tier talismans is also a piece of cake for her.

Therefore, Song Hongshu spared no expense in spending this talisman.

"I'm afraid we're short-handed. I originally thought this was just a small-scale zombie outbreak, but judging from the current situation, there must be a human factor behind it. I must inform the patriarch and send more Qi Refining cultivators."

Without hesitation, Song Hongshu took out a communication talisman and sent a message to Song Zhichu on Tian Shu Peak.

Upon hearing this, Song Zhichu immediately assigned more Qi Refining cultivators to Song Hongshu, increasing the number of Qi Refining cultivators to more than thirty.

Song Zhiming happened to overhear this.

Song Zhiming then asked Song Zhichu for permission to help Song Hongshu handle the affairs of Huanggang County.

"Is Hong Shu, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, really unable to resolve this matter?" Song Zhichu frowned, expressing some dissatisfaction.

Foundation Establishment cultivators are key to the Qinglian Song Clan. The so-called corpse transformation did not occur within the territory of Qinglian Island. Song Zhichu displayed an extremely indifferent expression.

"Recently, the demonic path has been rampant. News has come from the three sects in the north that branches of the four major demonic sects are committing acts that anger both heaven and man. I suspect that this matter is related to demonic cultivators. If there is indeed a demonic shadow, it will inevitably affect my Azure Lotus Islands sooner or later. To nip it in the bud, I plan to go and see for myself."

Upon hearing Song Zhiming's words, Song Zhichu's expression softened, and he agreed to Song Zhiming's request to come to Song Hongshu's aid.

A group of Qi Refining cultivators from the family arrived first in Huanggang County to assist Song Hongshu.

Song Zhiming left in secret, and even Huang Qiweng, the magistrate of Huanggang County, was unaware of this matter.

After the Song family of Qinglian added Qi Refining cultivators, the corpse mutation in Huanggang County was quickly suppressed.

Song Hongshu had reached the depths of Huanggang County. With a thought, she retrieved a talisman-like magical artifact embedded in a zombie corpse and put it back into her storage bag before slowly exhaling a breath of turbid air.

But at that moment, several figures in black robes suddenly appeared.

With a thought, Song Hongshu sensed the fluctuations in her spiritual sense.

"These are cultivators, and not just ordinary cultivators. Their auras are extremely cold and sinister. It seems these people are demonic cultivators. There really are demonic cultivators behind this!"

Upon thinking of this, Song Hongshu sent a telepathic message to the other Qi Refining cultivators from the various families present, who then flocked towards these demonic cultivators.

As soon as the Song family's cultivators unleashed their magical artifacts and talismans, they routed these demonic cultivators, leaving them utterly defeated and routed.

"Not good! They are righteous cultivators, run..." Someone among the demonic cultivators suddenly shouted.

These demonic cultivators scattered in all directions.

"Chase them! These demonic cultivators are the culprits behind the zombie transformation; we can't let them live..."

Song Hongshu, dressed in a plain white dress, directed the Qi Refining cultivators present to chase after these demonic cultivators.

All the Qi Refining cultivators of the Song family ran out. Song Hongshu also used her escape technique, moving swiftly and instantly attacking. Her talisman-shaped magic weapon instantly killed a Qi Refining demonic cultivator.

Fortunately, these demonic cultivators were not highly skilled; most of them were only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining or the early stage of Qi Refining.

Song Hongshu followed several figures to an abandoned warehouse in the city. Once they reached the depths, the figures abruptly stopped.

"Fellow Daoist, although we belong to the righteous and the demonic paths, we have nothing to do with each other. Why are you pressing me so hard?" A slightly magnetic voice came from deep within the warehouse.

Song Hongshu was secretly startled, realizing that she had been ambushed, and retreated a few steps.
