"Haha! Li Shimin, even if you are talented, how can you solve the predicant before you! Can you actually bring yourself to do it? Haha~, this army of Chang’an, I shall borrow it! Haha!"
A series of night-owl-like sinister laughs pierced through the military camp, as countless bats carrying two zombies flew out of Li Shimin’s tent and headed towards the outside of the camp.
Li Shimin stood at the entrance of his tent, his complexion changing unpredictably as he watched the ruptured tent and the Imperial Guards who ca over to protect him. Yet, there was a sowhat hollow and lost look in his eyes, as if he was waging an internal struggle like an epic battle between heaven and man.
"Prince of Qin! You can’t seriously believe his nonsense, can you? He’s deceiving you!"
Chai Shao said anxiously, staring at Li Shimin.
"What about what happened in Yangzhou?"
As soon as Li Shimin brought up that example, Chai Shao was at a loss for words.
"Those rotting corpses have been in Chang’an for who knows how long, even before the incident in Yangzhou. They have not been activated by them, we cannot take the risk!"
Li Shimin’s eyes were bloodshot, his breathing quickened, and his fists clenched so tightly that his nails had pierced his skin and drawn blood.
"But Chang’an hasn’t suffered a widespread zombie transformation yet!"
Li Shimin looked agonized.
"The ones currently transford are mostly the old, weak, sick, and disabled, who already have frail bodies, making them easier to control. Let’s wait and see, if it really turns out to be as he said…"
Li Shimin’s eyes were deep, like the Abyss. Stay tuned with empire
The enemy wanted to borrow the soldiers of Chang’an, the living dead soldiers transford from the people of Chang’an!
With the population of Chang’an, if an undead army that fears neither life nor death were to form, truly nothing would stop it from sweeping across the world!
If they attack the south from Yangzhou and the north from Chang’an, no one will be able to withstand them!
Even all the people in the world would continuously beco part of this legion!
"Prince of Qin!"
Chai Shao looked into Li Shimin’s eyes, feeling a sense of unfamiliarity.
"Give the order to all troops, follow into Chang’an tonight, seal the city gates, allow entry but no exit!"
Li Shimin brushed away his previous dejection and seed to have made a decision, regaining the aura of a commander of the three armies.
But he beca so unfamiliar in the eyes of Chai Shao.
"Shimin brother…"
Chai Shao started to speak with a heavy tone but was only t with Li Shimin’s indifferent gaze.
"I will not start a massacre outright, I am just taking control of Chang’an first. If the able-bodied also start transforming, then I alone will bear this infamous reputation!"
Chai Shao opened his mouth, wanting to say sothing, but eventually, he just sighed.
"Please forgive Chai Shao for not being able to follow…"
Chai Shao turned and left.
And Li Shimin did not stop him.
His prestige in the army was imnse, and even when he issued such an order, it was quickly acted upon.
The undead army must not take a single step out of Chang’an!
…
Elsewhere, Tao Yu and his party had also seen Li Shimin’s great forces entering the city with torches under the cover of night, and Tao Yu also sensed a vague sense of crisis.
"Be careful, there are enemies nearby."
Even under the Unity of Heaven and Man with Spirit Perception, it was unexpectedly obscure, which Tao Yu had not anticipated.
"Haha, intriguing humans, to think you could sense my presence."
Just then, countless bats converged from all directions, forming a figure in front of everyone, standing firmly in their path like a one-man bastion.
The figure was draped in a black robe, with a ghastly pale face.
And the next mont, one zombie after another burst out from nearby mounds of earth, shooting through the air like arrows, before crashing heavily to the ground, raising clouds of dust, and there were dozens of them!
This caused even the powerful beings who had followed Tao Yu to change expressions!
Afterward, Bi Xuan frowned as he looked at a figure among them and said uncertainly,
"Qu Ao?"
Tao Yu also glanced over and indeed, Qu Ao, who should have been incapacitated by his own strike, had also appeared amidst the zombie horde!
Calculating the ti, it was indeed sufficient to have turned Qu Ao into a zombie!
At first unaware of the presence of a Fortune Thief here, Tao Yu had not dealt with the body. Now, seeing it, he realized that the corpses of Li Mi and others who had died in the bloodbath on the streets were all there!
Was this guy reaping the fruits of his labor?
"They actually failed to stop them? The Chosen One is indeed favored by fate."
A gloomy voice ca through, and a figure slowly erged from the horde of zombies, presenting a stark contrast to the bat-like creatures beside him.
"Heh, quite the grand scene. Over half of grandmasters in the world have gathered here, but why haven’t the four great monks shown up? I’d actually like to learn a few things from them," ca a scholarly voice, imdiately causing waves in Zhu Yuyan’s ntality as a look of hatred appeared in her eyes, but in the next mont, Tao Yu pressed down on her smooth shoulder.
This action even surprised Shi Zhixuan, who followed up with a teasing comnt,
"I didn’t expect you’d have such leisure and taste, Yuyan..."
Tao Yu looked at Shi Zhixuan, who was full of vitality and in perfect harmony, and frowned,
"You got the Demonic Emperor’s relic?"
That was supposed to be his prize, damn it!
"To solve my problem, I don’t necessarily need the Holy Relic. Only now do I realize that I have another potential for improving my strength."
Seeing those zombies and then looking at Shi Zhixuan’s perfection, Tao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but also had a mont of revelation.
So that’s how it is!
It was the people from the Fortune Thief Alliance who helped Shi Zhixuan with his problem!
As for what secret technique they used, or if it was simply allowing him to kill zombies, it no longer mattered; in any case, Shi Zhixuan has truly recovered, and perhaps he’s not any weaker than he was at the end of the original story—actually, he might be even stronger!
With just a sense of his energy, Tao Yu could tell he was even above Song Que.
Along with that zombie resembling Shi Shaojian and that peculiar vampire, three Fortune Thieves!
Moreover, there was no telling how many more might be lurking in the dark, as Shi Jian had yet to appear.
"No wonder you can control so many zombies; it turns out you have beco one yourself."
Tao Yu looked at the dozens of zombies, each at least comparable to top martial artists and a few that had an even rawer aura, understanding why they would stage such a grand spectacle in Zombie World—he really could control them all!
This was the bonus that ca with their species.
But Tao Yu would not envy such states of forsaking one’s potential to beco.
"Hehe, Saint Heir Tao, we’d always kept to our own, and I didn’t look for trouble with you, but to my surprise, you ca seeking us out first—I wonder why."
Shi Shaojian’s tone was dry, making even laughter seem harsh and unsettling.
"I could catch your two subordinates in Yuzhou, you’re not looking for just because you don’t have the ti, and I cannot stand by as you commit such inhumane acts."
Tao Yu spoke while carefully sensing his surroundings, wary that Shi Jian might spring up and deliver a shock out of nowhere.
"Haha! Inhumane? You two outsiders actually care about the lives and deaths of these natives? Haha! Since they’re not people from your world, why such sentintality? Pigs and fodder ant for upgrading, nothing more!"
Shi Shaojian laughed loudly, his voice grating and unbearable.
This angered the many powerful individuals who’d co with Tao Yu; to be looked down upon like this!
And to even think of refining Martial World’s people into zombies!
"Good, I lost quite a few treasures before, and now with so many quality materials delivered, I suppose they can make up for it, heh heh, and to think there are so many beauties..."
Shi Shaojian’s sowhat perverted gaze lingered on Wanwan and her companions.
Being lecherous was part of his character, and now, even though he had beco a zombie, he seed to have retained this trait.
In fact, he might have beco even more twisted...
