After awakening, the female supporting character in the abused novel only wants to ascend to immorta

Chapter 91 Corpse Hidden in the Capital
Lin Zhao used to slay demons and monsters in the mortal realm, and he carried a lot of mortal realm currency with him, so he was very familiar with some of the rules of the mortal realm.

Using a fabricated identity, Lin Zhao booked an inn. After ordering a pot of fine tea in the lobby, he observed the surroundings.

After listening to the storyteller for quite some time, Lin Zhao was quite happy and gave the storyteller some small change as a tip.

"Zhao, when do you plan to start investigating?"

Lin Zhao said, "I can't detect any demonic aura here, so this matter should have nothing to do with the demons. Could it be that the dragon's aura is not showing due to the internal strife within the royal family?"

"The dragon energy of the mortal realm and the phoenix luck on your body are essentially the same thing, and they won't be hidden by certain factors," Grandma said. "It's true that there are no demonic auras here, but that doesn't mean there aren't other enemies."

Lin Zhao stood up, paid for the tea, and then went to ask the storyteller who was packing up to go home.

Has anything interesting happened around here lately?

The storyteller's eyes lit up when he saw the silver coin in Lin Zhao's hand. He stroked his mustache and said, "There are so many interesting stories here. What kind of stories would you like to hear, young lady? From the romantic tales of prominent families to the observations and experiences of us ordinary folks, anything goes!"

Lin Zhao stroked her chin and asked curiously, "Are there any that sound really mysterious?"

Upon hearing this, the storyteller looked around and approached Lin Zhao mysteriously, saying, "There really is such a thing. It's been going on for more than half a year now. Graves near the capital have been dug up. It's said that the bodies in the dug-up graves are gone, and the family whose body is missing will have someone die the next day."

Lin Zhao held the silver coin in her hand and tossed it to him, saying, "I loved this story, this is a reward for you."

The storyteller continued with a broad smile, bit his silver coin, and thanked Lin Zhao repeatedly with satisfaction.

Lin Zhao waved his hand, turned around and left the inn.

"Girl, what do you think?"

"The possibility of zombie transformation cannot be ruled out, but there aren't that many Taoist techniques in the mortal realm, especially in the capital city where the dragon rose. How could there be a large-scale zombie transformation?"

Just like the story of a zombie resurrection, the disappearance of the dragon vein must be connected in some way.

“However, if this zombie transformation was artificially induced, then the hidden opponent is indeed not a demon, but even more disgusting than a demon,” Lin Zhao continued.

"If it was truly a deliberate act, then is the disappearance of the South China Sea Academy disciples also related to this person?"

Lin Zhao was horrified.

Those disciples of the South China Sea Academy are no ordinary people. If they could also be transformed into zombies, their rank would certainly be quite high.

"This matter needs further investigation." Lin Zhao thought of something and asked, "Master, could it be related to those systems?"

"I did not detect any evil thoughts from another world here, so it should be unrelated to them."

Lin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. She was not afraid of open enemies, but this otherworldly evil thought seemed to have the ability to communicate with other evil thoughts and interfere with the operation of this world.

"Let's check it out first. Let's go to the cemetery." After a brief moment of thought, Lin Zhao made his first decision.

However, when she saw that the sky outside was getting dark, she quickly gave up the idea of ​​going out right away.

The soldiers outside saw the gong and shouted at the top of their lungs.

"Curfew time, everyone return to your respective residences!"

Lin Zhao glanced at the passerby who was hurrying towards the guest room and asked, "Brother, brother, I have a question for you. When I came to the capital a few years ago, I remember the curfew wasn't this early. Why has it been changed recently?"

The man glanced at her and was about to leave when Lin Zhao quickly slipped him a few copper coins.

After tossing the coins in his hand, the other person hurriedly replied, "Something bad can happen at night. If you don't want to die, stay in your room and don't go out. No matter what noise you hear or who calls you, don't go out!"

Lin Zhao thanked them and quickly followed the crowd back to her room.

As soon as she closed the door, her grandmother floated down in front of her.

"Master, what do you think?"

Grandma pondered for a moment: "What you said about zombie transformation is the most likely explanation. When mortals turn into zombies, they'll first target their own relatives. But the soldiers of a dynasty wouldn't be unable to handle ordinary zombies." Lin Zhao then plunged into his spatial ring to search.
"What are you looking for?"

“I bought some things that I could use in Maoshan magic in the mortal realm before. Also, I have some connections with the eldest disciple of the Maoshan sect leader, and he gave me a lightning-struck peach wood sword, which came in handy.”

The Maoshan Sect can be considered one of the representatives of cultivators in the mortal realm. Although this sect is not well-known in the cultivation world, it must be said that it has never disappeared since its establishment.

After finding what he wanted, Lin Zhao heard cries for help outside, so he rolled up his sleeves, opened the window, and climbed out.

A mere zombie? What could a mere cultivator in the Enlightenment stage possibly be afraid of?

Lin Zhao, sword in hand, reached the courtyard from which the cries for help came in just a few breaths. He saw a tall, dark figure rapidly approaching the girl who was fleeing in panic. With a flick of his peach wood sword, he flashed and was right in front of the figure.

The man with his face covered by a black cloth seemed surprised that someone would stop him, and was momentarily stunned.

But soon he started fighting with Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao wielded the peach wood sword until only afterimages remained, but this person was no pushover either, wielding two swords and striking at Lin Zhao's vital points with every move.

In a short while, the two had exchanged over a hundred blows. Lin Zhao took a step back, not because he couldn't defeat his opponent, but because he was somewhat shocked.

Although she didn't use her spiritual power, this person was not afraid of her at all, based on her physical condition at the Enlightenment stage and the speed she had developed through long-term training.

Who would have thought there could be such a master in the mortal realm?

Lin Zhao's expression changed, then she gripped the peach wood sword tightly, and killing intent burst from her eyes.

Such a master is always a major threat if he is an enemy; it is best to kill such an enemy on sight.

The other person lifted the black cloth up to the bridge of their high nose, revealing narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes that were filled with murderous intent.

Clearly, the two had the same idea.

The next moment, the two of them started fighting at the same time.

The two fought fiercely, one wielding a sword and the other a knife, without using any spiritual power. They fought from the ground to the rooftops, and from the rooftops to the streets.

Grandma floated out and, seeing that the two had been fighting for a full half hour without stopping, reminded Lin Zhao, "I can sense the aura of corpses on the west side."

The west side? Lin Zhao deflected the man's dagger with a single sword stroke, giving him a cold look: "I'll come and deal with you eventually."

Saving lives is the priority now.

The other party took out a compass from his sleeve, and the compass needle pointed to the west. Seeing Lin Zhao's back, he snorted coldly: "It's not certain who will deal with whom!"

In terms of speed alone, Lin Zhao was faster than him. When Lin Zhao arrived at the west wing and saw the woman who was about to turn into a zombie, he made a hand seal to freeze her.

However, the man in black behind her had already burned the woman to ashes with a talisman.

When the talisman appeared, Lin Zhao understood what was going on.

She looked behind the man in black, and the peach wood sword flew out of his hand.

The peach wood sword grazed the other man's cheek and pierced straight through the zombie's body behind the man in black.

The man in black turned around and stuck another talisman on the zombie.

The next moment, the two of them simultaneously straightened their backs.

—Hundreds of zombies suddenly appeared all around.

They were surrounded.
