Beast Taming, my intelligence updates daily.

Chapter 509 Undercurrent
With a fierce roar from Mao Shiba, countless essences and blood of the Mao family descendants left in the Corpse City were forcibly extracted from their bodies.

The higher one's cultivation level, the more painful it becomes.

"Ancestor, why?"

"Ancestor, it hurts so much, it hurts so much, please spare me."

"Ancestor, are you planning to use us as a blood sacrifice? No wonder you're holding a zombie moon worship ceremony."

"Ancestor, you are confused! How could you do such a heinous thing?"

Mao Shiba hovered in the air like a silver moon, and a large amount of essence and blood flowed into the silvery-white inner core he spat out.

This was a wisp of pure primordial energy left behind from his cultivation of the Celestial Masters Path, which absorbed the essence of the sun and moon over a thousand years and formed an inner core.

Hearing the shouts of abuse from below, Mao Shiba's eyes turned extremely cold: "You bunch of incompetent juniors, if it weren't for me, your ancestor, struggling to hold on, the Mao family would have been wiped out long ago."

"Now that you've all eaten the food of the Mao family, you want to smash the pot of the Mao family."

"Do you think the Mao family can survive just because I can't break through my life limit?"

"A bunch of idiots."

"Only when I, the patriarch, break through my life limit can our Mao family survive and become the true kings of the Southwest."

Mao Shiba laughed heartily.

"To become the king of the southwest?"

"You must be dreaming, Ancestor. You're still dreaming."

“We clearly had a chance to survive. If we had just kept our identities, the Yan Kingdom wouldn’t have continued to investigate.”

“We don’t want to become your sacrifices, deliberately sacrificing our last chance at life.”

The head of the Mao family looked at Mao Shiba with a vicious gaze.

"Hide your identity? Mao Twenty-Nine, you really are naive."

"Do you really think that Yan Kingdom will let go of this opportunity to uproot and completely eliminate our Mao family?"

"You are too confident, and you also believe that the Yan Kingdom is too benevolent."

"I really think that even if you sent a pig to the position of patriarch, the Mao family could still maintain its development."

"Mao Twenty-Nine, obediently become my nourishment."

Mao Shiba grabbed hard with his hand, his claws piercing through the void, and he pulled out Mao Ershijiu's heart.

With a sudden burst of strength, his heart instantly turned into a bloody mist, and Mao Shiba's strength increased even further.

Having tasted the sweetness of success, Mao Shiba began a massacre.

At this moment, the alien zombies...

They all sensed that the slave mark hidden deep within their souls had disappeared.

I don't know if it has hidden itself and become even deeper, or if it has disappeared completely.

"Now that the Mao family is in chaos, we are finally free. What should we do next?"

"Should we agree to Zhi Ren Nan's suggestion and join the Yan Kingdom?"

The elephant zombie said in a muffled voice.

In fact, his thinking has changed slightly.

Since the Mao family is in chaos and no one is in charge, wouldn't it be a better choice for us to just rush out of the Corpse City and find a place to hide?

Why become cannon fodder in the Sea God's Abyss?

The peacock zombie shook its head: "No, this is very inappropriate."

In its previous life, it was the Immovable King Peacock, a very powerful creature. However, due to its advanced age, it perished in a valley and was discovered by Mao Shiba, who turned it into a zombie.

"Even if you hide, the aura of death on your body cannot be concealed."

"You'll be discovered by the Yan Kingdom sooner or later, so why don't you just surrender? Isn't that the plan we discussed before?"

The peacock zombie suddenly noticed that something seemed to be wriggling inside the elephant zombie's fan-shaped ear.

Its claws suddenly lashed forward, and a wolf-like zombie, no bigger than a fist, appeared.

It seems to be very afraid of the peacock zombie.

"So that's why the elephant zombie's views have changed. It turns out you were the one instigating it."

"Alright, since you're willing to withdraw, then lead your men and leave."

"I won't stop you; I'll wait here for the humans to arrive."

The peacock zombie closed its eyes and said calmly.

He is also the strongest of the Beast Zombies, so the Elephant Zombie dares not fight him.

"Men, charge with me!"

Countless monstrous zombies rushed toward the entrance to the Corpse City.

The once vast Hall of Corpses was now only inhabited by giant python zombies and peacock zombies.

"It seems there are disagreements within your organization. My timing is terrible."

The figure of the paper figure Nan appeared in mid-air.

"Paper Man Nan, everyone has their own destiny, and I cannot stop it. What I can guarantee now is my personal stance."

"The peacock zombie said calmly."

"This time, I thought about it for a long time before finally making a decision."

Paper Doll Nan landed beside the Peacock Zombie: "There's nothing wrong with your choice this time. Do you know why Mao Shiba chose to break through so quickly?"

"Because the people of Yan Kingdom are also about to break through."

"Right now, Mao Shiba can't care about Corpse City at all. He has to break through before that person does, otherwise the entire Corpse City will be destroyed."

Paper Man Nan revealed a crucial piece of information: everything was under his control.

"That's good, but what about the other zombies?"

"Some of these zombies are the ancestors of their respective families."

The peacock zombie hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"That depends on what the higher-ups want. I can't represent them, so don't drag me into this. Right now, I just want to protect myself."

"But there's something I find strange: I didn't see anyone from the coffin shop the whole time. Where were their people sent?"

Zhi Ren Nan felt that something was very wrong.

"A coffin shop? According to the information I have, there really are no people from coffin shops in the Corpse City."

"Perhaps the Mao family wanted to use the coffin shop as a backup plan."

In reality, the city of corpses had already been sealed off, and the coffin shop people couldn't get in at all.

They searched for an exit on Mount Beiman, but eventually could not bear the eerie atmosphere there and left.

"The barrier of the Corpse City is not so easy to break, because the Corpse City is actually an unparalleled formation."

"The entrance has been sealed by Mao Shiba. To open the entrance to Corpse City, we must either seize control of Corpse City from Mao Shiba or break the barrier with extremely powerful strength."

"My concern now is whether Mao Shiba will consider taking everyone down with him after his failed breakthrough."

"Paper Man Nan, could you please do me a favor and seal us both away completely?" "I'm afraid I received orders from Mao Shiba in my soul, instructing me to destroy the entire Corpse City at all costs and then self-destruct."

"I don't want to end up self-destructing."

After hearing the peacock zombie's concerns, Paper Doll Nan decided to help the peacock zombie.

Its body split open, revealing countless yellow papers that scattered like snowflakes, completely surrounding the giant python zombie and the peacock zombie.

Two yellow talismans suddenly appeared in Paper Doll Nan's hand, sealing the giant python zombie and peacock zombie inside.

At this moment, Ye Bai was reviewing the latest intelligence.

[1. Mao Shiba failed in his breakthrough. Before his death, he will give orders to all the zombies to destroy the entire zombie city and kill each other. To break Mao Shiba's curse, you can use sealing talismans to seal the zombies, or other sealing methods.]

[2. Corpse City has two exits. One exit is sealed off by Mao Shiba, and the other exit is in the middle of the Blackwater River in Corpse City. You can leave Corpse City by jumping off the red stone piers on the bridge.]

3. Mao Shiba is very afraid of attacks from light-attribute skills. Once exposed to a light-attribute skill, his skin will be reduced to ashes.

[4. The control core of Corpse City is not actually on Mao Shiba's body. Mao Shiba hid the control core in the feathers of the Peacock Zombie, which is the most powerful alien zombie he created. Currently, the Peacock Zombie has been sealed away by Paper Doll Nan.]

[5. The former Kui Mulang suffered a relapse of his serious illness during his breakthrough, and died just before reaching the eighth rank.]

Good heavens, Mao Shiba caused so much trouble, yet in the end he still died and vanished. This really left Ye Bai speechless.

A once-powerful figure has fallen into obscurity.

The most troubling thing right now isn't Mao Shiba, but how to leave the Corpse City.

The signal system provided intelligence, telling them where they had left off and where the control core of the Corpse City was located.

However, I need to take my father's failed breakthrough seriously. His serious illness has relapsed, so I'll send the Sunflower Fairy and the True Light Goddess Butterfly to save the day.

Ye Bai gave instructions to the group.

At this moment, Zhang Aiyu and Zhang Tianai also gathered together.

A tear welled up in both of their eyes.

"Xiao Ai, it's been a long time."

"Since learning of your death, my whole world has collapsed."

"Fortunately, my brother-in-law comforted me, and I also found out that I was pregnant with Xiaobai, so I mustered up the courage to live on."

"It's just that my body has become weaker and weaker after using forbidden techniques twice, so your brother-in-law brought me to the Corpse City in hopes of finding the legendary Sun and Moon Divine Pearl."

At this moment, Zhang Yuelu interjected, "The Sun and Moon Divine Pearl is not in Corpse City, but in another royal tomb. My Five Poisons Sect has records that it is a treasure that can help one break through to the next level without any side effects."

"However, this kind of treasure can only be used by people below the eighth rank."

"Otherwise, it will have no effect at all."

Zhang Tianai held Zhang Aiyu's hand tightly.

No wonder Ye Bai felt a sense of familiarity with him; it turned out he was his sister's child.

My sister and brother-in-law have been trapped in the city of corpses for so many years. I wonder how hard Ye Bai has been all these years.

Will I, like I was before, fall into eternal loneliness?

"Everyone, our current goal is to escape the city of corpses. We will ignore everything else for now."

"Mao Shiba is currently busy with his breakthrough, so no one will pay attention to us. We'll take this opportunity to escape Corpse City."

Before Ye Bai could finish speaking, Zhang Aiyu interrupted him: "Xiao Bai, the Corpse City is such a huge scourge. If Mao Shiba succeeds in breaking through, won't the entire southwest region fall?"

Ye Bai took out the Tianyangzi that Youji had prepared.

"This thing is a super weapon of mass destruction for Mao Shiba."

"As long as Tianyangzi is activated, the entire Corpse City and Mao Shiba will be destroyed by the scorching sun."

Moreover, Mao Shiba simply couldn't break through his life limit.

Ye Bai guessed that Mao Shiba's defeat was due to his soul being too old and unable to withstand more souls, and also because the Mao family's bloodline was impure and could not provide Mao Shiba with greater assistance.

"Everyone, do your best to find the Peacock Zombie. There is a very important treasure on the Peacock Zombie, and we must find it first."

The city of corpses was in complete chaos. Countless zombies emerged from their coffins and began to fight and hunt each other.

Without constraints, these zombies leveled up much faster.

They enhance themselves by plundering each other's souls and essence.

Ye Bai also took this opportunity to use the Myriad Poison Gu to absorb the zombie's venom, thereby allowing the Poison Dragon Butterfly form to evolve into the Poison Dragon Sacred Butterfly form.

At this moment, Ye Canghai, who was breaking through in the air, seemed a little off.

He never expected that the corpse energy of the Corpse City would cause him serious injuries.

The previously suppressed fatal injuries suddenly resurfaced.

Numerous cracks appeared on his skin, and these cracks were spreading rapidly.

Large mouthfuls of blood gushed from Ye Canghai's mouth and flowed down into the air.

"Hahaha." A zombie with bat wings on its back directly took Ye Canghai's blood from below.

"I am acting on the orders of Lord Mao Shiba to prevent you from breaking through to the eighth rank."

"I never expected that just by casting a few minor curses, I could put you in such a crisis."

"It's a pity. My lineage of tricksters is the most skilled at using tricks and curses, but I haven't had a chance to use them."

"I suddenly felt this sense of ease and contentment from you, and I really have to thank you."

"Of course, I also know the saying that villains die from talking too much."

"With your blood, I can cast even more vicious curses."

The bat-winged zombie was writing something with a brush, the tip of which was dipped in Ye Canghai's blood.

Just then, a rift appeared in the space, and the Sunflower Fairy and the Ever-Changing Butterfly arrived.

The Myriad Transformations Butterfly split into the True Goddess of Light Butterfly form, and its six clones simultaneously unleashed the Holy Light Protection skill.

They protected Ye Canghai very well.

The black curses vanished upon encountering the holy light.

Sunflower Fairy sat on Ye Canghai's shoulder.

It released the dew and rain, thoroughly cleansing Ye Canghai's ward.

Heavenly dew is the best healing method in the world.

Ye Canghai felt as if he were soaking in a warm hot spring, and his old ailment was slowly recovering.

As for the sorcerer, it was directly illuminated by the Holy Light of the Myriad Transformations Butterfly and reduced to ashes.

The commotion caused by the Butterfly was so great that it attracted the attention of many zombies, and many of them spread their bat wings and flew up from below.

"Be careful, those zombies might have special abilities."

After all, these zombies were Mao Shiba's collection. Ye Canghai had stayed in the Corpse City for eight years, so he naturally knew the origins of these zombies.

But no matter how powerful the zombie is, it will be reduced to ashes in the next moment when faced with the holy light cast by the Sunflower Fairy and the Ever-Changing Butterfly.

The disappearance of large numbers of zombies has left the elephant zombies, who were charging towards the entrance, extremely anxious.

"Hurry, hurry, I need to get out of here as soon as possible."
