Lin Yi didn't bother to check Zhou Yue'e's memories. He rolled on the spot to dodge the zombies' claws, and slashed around his body with his broadsword. With the support of his power, the zombies' hard bodies were cleanly cut in half, and two zombies were transformed into Lin Yi's cultivation.

Seeing Lin Yi surrounded, Guan Buping didn't bother to scold him for being reckless. He also leaped into the zombie horde. He shouted and swung his sword forward, a blade of energy emanating from the tip of his blade, slashing forward in an arc.

This was truly unleashing his full power. Lin Yi felt a pang of sympathy for the zombies being slaughtered by Guan Buping, but he also knew that with his current level, it was impossible for him to survive an attack by hundreds of zombies unscathed.

Unless he can use the terrain to his advantage to block the monsters and always face the enemy from only one side, he can defeat the zombies. But now there are zombies all around him, and even he can't guarantee that he will be unharmed.

"Come on."

Although Guan Buping's sword energy was powerful, it also consumed a lot of energy, so it was not a strategy for a prolonged battle. They only needed to break through the encirclement, maneuver around the zombies, and kill them off. It wouldn't be too difficult.

Lin Yi also wanted to learn this sword aura technique; it looked pretty cool.

However, his Qi cultivation level was still too low, and he couldn't unleash sword Qi like Guan Buping; he could only admire him from afar.

The two slashed in one direction, supporting each other, and soon they had carved out a path. They led the zombies away as they fought, and with their excellent maneuvering skills, they would eventually wipe out these low-level zombies.

Wang Jinxuan, watching from a distance, exclaimed how exciting it was. Lin Yi had taken the head of the strongest zombie from among more than a hundred, and then the two of them joined forces to fight their way out, which made her blood boil.

Just as the scales of victory were tipping in their favor, Lin Yi suddenly heard a sharp whistle.

He couldn't help but cover his ears, but Guan Buping didn't react at all.

There were still about half of the zombies left. After the whistle blew, they all stopped attacking and instead ran in the opposite direction from Lin Yi.

From this perspective, it seems as if all of this is being manipulated by someone behind the scenes.

"Will they run away again?"

Guan Buping said in surprise, and Lin Yi immediately understood that he must not have heard the whistle just now.

That whistle might have been a higher or lower frequency sound, which is difficult for the human ear to perceive, but Lin Yi's cultivation has improved his physical strength, so his ears may have mutated.

But that's okay, he doesn't necessarily have to explain the process when he gives an answer.

"These zombies must be controlled by someone. Let's chase after them!"

Chapter 39 This guy is such a show-off.

Lin Yi gave chase, managing to both kill the enemy and track them down.

He may seem fierce and reckless, but he's actually incredibly steady.

The opponent was hiding in the shadows, not daring to confront him directly, clearly out of fear of his and Guan Buping's strength.

Those little zombies were easy to deal with, like cutting melons and vegetables. Each one could provide Lin Yi with six months to a year of cultivation. Although flies are small, they are numerous. Including the mother's seventy years of cultivation, Lin Yi has already gained nearly a hundred years of cultivation in this round.

While others cultivate like slowly grinding tofu, he's like a rocket taking off from Wuhu.

If this trend continues, defeating He Dong is just around the corner.

But Guan Buping was very worried and advised, "Don't pursue a desperate enemy; beware of traps."

“I know there might be traps, but if we don’t chase them and let these zombies run rampant, even more people will die. We should just be careful.”

Guan Buping saw the light of righteousness in Lin Yi.

He immediately stopped trying to persuade him, but he made up his mind that if they were in any danger, he would risk his life to protect Lin Yi.

The two of them fought bravely against the enemy, and forgot about Wang Jinxuan.

Wang Jinxuan didn't miss the best viewing spot either, riding her flying mount to catch up. Watching Lin Yi bravely fight the enemy, her eyes shone with admiration.

I can't say whether I like it or not; I'm more like I'm hooked.

"Damn the Jingye Division, how dare they ruin my plans!"

In the darkness, a hunched old man watched Lin Yi and Guan Buping chase after the remaining zombies, stamping his feet in anger, yet helpless.

He only knows how to raise and control corpses; his ability to fight in direct combat is not particularly strong.

Someone like him would be killed instantly if Lin Yi saw him.

When Lin Yi appeared, he didn't notice him immediately, which allowed Lin Yi to kill Zhou Yue'e with a single strike. This was the mother body controlled by the old man. Without her, the remaining zombies would be much more difficult to control.

He could control numerous corpses by manipulating Zhou Yue'e, and these corpses could cooperate like an army, so even if a fifth-rank expert came, he would have no fear.

But without Zhou Yue'e, these zombies became a disorganized mess, and it was only a matter of time before Lin Yi and Guan Buping could clean them up.

He had been preparing for this feat for several years, and now he had failed like this. How could he accept it?

It's a pity that the other poisonous corpse hasn't been refined yet, otherwise these two would definitely not have returned alive today.

"Why is the elder so angry?"

A gentle voice came from behind. The old man froze and turned around to see a handsome young man standing behind him.

Who are you?!

The old man felt a chill run down his spine. He was always alert and good at hiding, but he never expected to be sneaked up behind him without realizing it.

"I am You Tong from the Jingtian Sect. Greetings, senior."

"Pure Heaven Sect...what business do you have with this old man?"

Among the demonic sects, the Jingtian Sect was notorious and feared by many. The old man had no time to control the zombies and was ready to make a run for it at any moment.

With a sinister smile, You Tong said, "Senior, don't be afraid. I have always respected the elderly and cared for the young. I have no ill intentions this time. I just want to ask you for a favor. Do you see that young man who is killing everyone? I need you to help me get him."

"what?"

Are young people these days so direct in their speech?

Perhaps times have changed! The old man was deeply shocked, but he could help with this.

If the people of Jingye Division fall into the hands of Jingtian Sect, they will surely be tortured in every way. Isn't that better than killing them?

How do you want me to help you?

"Simple, just lead him to the river."

You Tong stared intently at Lin Yi, her eyes filled with malice.

The Pure Heaven Sect always used a strategy of polite persuasion before resorting to force when recruiting members. They sincerely sent someone to entice Lin Yi to join the fold of the Supreme God, but Lin Yi not only refused but also killed their messenger.

According to the rules, they were going to teach Lin Yi a lesson.

However, the Jingtian Sect's branch in Xingsha County was wiped out. He and Youmei were out on business, leaving only some ordinary disciples behind. None of them knew who did it, so Youtong could only direct her anger at Lin Yi for the time being.

With no one else available, he had to step in himself.

They happened to run into a wild corpse breeder who, adhering to the principle of making use of waste, came to do some external liaison work.

Everything went smoothly, and the old man remotely controlled the zombie to run to the riverbank.

The remaining zombies, which were originally nearly half, are now reduced to just over a dozen. It's only a matter of time before Lin Yi and Guan Buping wipe them all out.

With victory seemingly within reach, Lin Yi suddenly grabbed Guan Buping.

"wrong."

"What's wrong with it?"

Something doesn't feel right.

Lin Yi took a break from his busy schedule to look at Zhou Yue'e's memory fragments, hoping to see if she could unlock a skill. Unfortunately, he didn't. It seems that not every monster on the list will unlock a skill.

Zhou Yue'e's life was nothing special. She was born into an ordinary family, had attractive features, and married into an ordinary family. Her husband was named Yang Feng, and her father-in-law was named Yang Lei. Their life was originally happy and fulfilling, but one day, her father-in-law suddenly went mad and forcibly took her. All of this was witnessed by her husband.

Husband. At present.

These demon-slaying manuals have all been summarized and compiled; Lin Yi simply watched the short film again.

This demon-slaying manual seems rather unorthodox!

Of course, Lin Yi was a decent person, and although the pornographic films were very exciting, he still focused on the important points.

Zhou Yue'e's husband and father-in-law were not killed by her bites, but now, both of them have disappeared.

Once they're found, any conspiracy they might be plotting should come to light.

But these zombies clearly had a tendency to lure them toward the river, so Lin Yi quickly stopped.

There are only so many zombies left, so it's better to play it safe.

You Tong was somewhat disappointed to see that Lin Yi hadn't entered the formation, but the area was still sufficient. Water Formation, activate!

Suddenly, a white mist rose from the surface of the Xiangjiang River. As the mist rose, You Tong gracefully descended, and with a wave of her hand, the last dozen or so zombies were shredded to dust by the sharp ice crystals.

"Such filthy things should be purified."

The old man was so angry at You Tong's actions that he almost vomited blood.

This is like crossing the river and then destroying the bridge; they're just like dogs.

Having dealt with the zombies, You Tong revealed a wicked smile and looked at Lin Yi: "I am You Tong of the Jingtian Sect, greetings to both of you."

Guan Buping's expression changed, and he gripped the hilt of the knife tightly.

“It’s one of the Four Demonic Spirits. Xiao Lin, you and Miss Wang go first, I’ll stop him.”

Guan Buping had never met You Tong, but he knew the ranking of the Jingtian Sect.

"Emerging from the netherworld and entering the underworld, reaching the heavens and penetrating the earth"—this is how the Pure Heaven Sect describes their superiors. Therefore, the Pure Heaven Sect has four Netherworld Demons, three Underworld Kings, two Heavenly Eyes, and one Earth Mother.

The Four Netherworld Demons can only be held by cultivators of at least the fifth rank, and even then, only by the most outstanding among them.

The ranking of the ghosts is based on their eyes, ears, tongue, and body, and they are respectively called Ghost Eyes, Ghost Listening, Ghost Words, and Ghostly Spirits.

This person is called You Tong, and he is the strongest of the Four Ghostly Demons.

In terms of cultivation level alone, he was at a disadvantage compared to Lin Yi. Moreover, the opponent had set up an array in advance and was probably practicing a water-attribute technique, which would allow him to exert even greater strength near water.

From this perspective, they have no chance of winning, and retreating is the wisest choice.

Unlike Guan Buping, who was on high alert, Lin Yi didn't feel the need to betray his teammates right now.

You Tong's strength surpasses his own, and Lin Yi can sense a faint sense of crisis. In a direct confrontation, he faces a certain risk of death. However, the lack of intense crisis indicates that he has the ability to fight.

If so, let's fight!

But at this moment, everyone who was ready for battle felt a sense of unease.

You Tong was the first to realize that the danger came from underwater, and this aura was even more terrifying than that of the cult leader.

"Why the hell am I so unlucky!"
