Snow: The Crown Prince of Chu, forced into marriage by the Minister of the Southern Palace with his

Jiang Xuan looked at Li, the county magistrate, who was still struggling and roaring. He couldn't help but rub his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face.

He just cast a silencing spell, and now not a single sound can be heard around him.

Jiang Xuan thought for a moment, then shook his head.

You can't figure this out on your own, so you might as well go back and think about it with other people.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan came to stand in front of Magistrate Li and looked down at him.

At the same time, he rolled up his sleeve towards Magistrate Li, and as if there were a universe within his sleeve, he took Magistrate Li into his sleeve.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xuan left the restaurant as if no one else was there and returned to the courtyard he had bought.

When he returned, Li Baishi and the others were already up.

They sat in the yard chattering away, though it was unclear what they were saying.

As for Xu Weixiong and Hehe Girl, they were looking at the secret letter in their hands.

The two of them have their own sources of information, so Jiang Xuan doesn't need to worry about them.

Xu Weixiong is sure he can handle everything; all he needs to do is take action.

Jiang Xuan arrived in the courtyard at this moment, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

At the same time, he didn't hesitate to throw County Magistrate Li out of his sleeve.

Looking at County Magistrate Li, who was still struggling and staring with bloodshot eyes, Jiang Xuan said.

"This guy is Magistrate Li from Chaisang County. Although he looks like he only has the strength of a terrestrial immortal, he is very powerful. As for other abilities such as speed and poison gas, they are not worth mentioning."

Upon hearing Jiang Xuan's words, Xu Weixiong and the others had already come over.

After hearing Jiang Xuan's explanation, Xu Weixiong, Hehe Girl, and Li Baishi subconsciously raised their heads.

They glanced at each other and smiled.

Seeing this, Xu Weixiong spoke first, waving her hand at Li Baishi and the others.

"You all speak."

The two girls exchanged a glance and nodded in unison.

"From what you've said, this guy sounds more like a zombie, but because he's already broken through to the terrestrial immortal realm, he has human characteristics."

Zombies?

Meanwhile, the girl continued, "Zombies are born from the resentment and bad luck of heaven and earth; they are ageless, immortal, and indestructible..."

"Abandoned by the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity, and excluded from the six paths of sentient beings, they wander aimlessly, adrift and homeless..."

"They live in this world, fueled by resentment and nourished by blood, using the blood of all living beings to vent their endless loneliness..."

Upon hearing these words, a look of surprise flashed across Jiang Xuan's eyes.

He suddenly realized that what the other person was saying sounded so familiar.

After thinking about it, I suddenly realized that this was the brainwashing advertisement I used to watch on TV.

Of course, this phrase first appeared on television, and later it was even used in computer advertisements, playing like a daily brainwashing.

I never expected this to happen.

Jiang Xuan's thoughts flashed by, and finally he looked at the people around him.

At this moment, Li Baishi glanced at County Magistrate Li and then continued.

"And his poison gas and speed aren't bad, they just don't pose any threat to you."

"In fact, whether it's corpse poison or speed, he is top-notch among experts of the same level."

Hearing Li Baishi's words, Jiang Xuan nodded.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Li Baishi and Hehe Girl are indeed worthy of being Huang Longshi's disciples; they really know a lot."

Xu Weixiong then walked up to Jiang Xuan and continued speaking.

"However, this thing hasn't appeared for many years. I've only seen it in books. I remember in the previous dynasty... no, it was before the Li Yang Dynasty. Back then, there were many zombies and demons."

"Later, Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism joined forces, and gradually cleaned up the demons and monsters in the world."

"It was from that time that the martial arts world of Kyushu gradually rose to prominence, while Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism gradually began to decline."

Upon hearing these secrets, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but shake his head, and then said...

"But why didn't people cultivate martial arts to protect themselves before the rise of martial arts?"

Hearing Jiang Xuan's words, Xu Weixiong chuckled and shook his head, then said...

"Because that's how some things are: once the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked."

"In that era, even if a normal person learned martial arts, it would not be easy to deal with those demons and monsters."

"Generally speaking, zombies are divided into purple zombies, white zombies, black zombies, green zombies, hairy zombies, flying zombies, and the last one, Jiang Chen."

At this point, Xu Weixiong pointed to County Magistrate Li in front of him and continued.

"This zombie in front of us has already reached the Flying Zombie realm. Apart from the Land Immortal realm, no one can deal with him."

"But even a martial artist at the terrestrial immortal realm would find it difficult to break through his defenses, and zombies are several times more regenerative and have more vitality than humans."

"And once the injury leads to the invasion of corpse poison, even a great immortal cannot save them, so they are really troublesome."

Chapter 345 Past Events, Joining Forces Again!

Upon hearing Xu Weixiong's words, Jiang Xuan pondered for a moment, then looked at the other man.

"If that's the case, why didn't such powerful zombies wipe out humanity?"

Hearing Jiang Xuan's words, Xu Weixiong chuckled and shook his head, saying...

"Because it's much harder for zombies to advance their cultivation level than for humans."

"Apart from a few beast zombies, zombies are generally transformed from humans. However, because they are a collection of resentment and malevolence from heaven and earth, they are rejected by heaven and earth and do not receive the blessing of the heavenly way, making it extremely difficult for them to improve their cultivation level."

"Unless they have the right timing, location, and people, they may break through to a higher realm, and this breakthrough usually takes an extremely long time."

"So although zombies are highly contagious, even martial arts practitioners can deal with low-level zombies."

"And most importantly, most of them fear the power of heaven and earth, such as fire and lightning, which can cause irreversible damage to them."

"This is why there weren't many martial artists back then, but many more cultivators."

When Xu Weixiong got to this point, she took a deep breath and then looked at Hehe Girl and Li Baishi beside her.

They exchanged a glance, instantly understanding each other's meaning, and continued speaking.

"Moreover, because Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism all require a lot of talent, there are not many true masters."

"In addition, their strength is good at dealing with demons and monsters, after all, they have the support of the power of heaven and earth, but they are no match for humans."

"Because humans don't confront demons and monsters head-on. They use all sorts of methods, such as poisoning, assassination, overwhelming numbers, and propaganda, which can keep them busy."

Seeing Jiang Xuan's intrigued expression, Li Baishi chimed in.

"However, the court at that time was also afraid that Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism would each become too powerful, so in addition to having assassination and investigation organizations like the Embroidered Uniform Guard, it also tried to sow discord among the three."

"In fact, even the final purge of demons and monsters was a conspiracy and scheme of the imperial court, so that after they had dealt with the demons and monsters, they would use the excuse of being the number one sect in the world to completely disintegrate them."

Jiang Xuan couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement upon hearing this, and finally shook his head and said.

"Is this what they mean by 'Two Peaches Kill Three Warriors'?"

Upon hearing Jiang Xuan's words, the people present were taken aback at first, but after Jiang Xuan explained, Xu Weixiong finally couldn't help but nod.

"That's quite interesting, and it fits the context well."

Jiang Xuan ignored all that and then looked at County Magistrate Li in front of him, a hesitant look on his face.

"But if he's a zombie, then my telepathic abilities won't be able to see through him, since this thing is practically half-dead?"

Jiang Xuan paused for a moment after thinking about this. He secretly thought that it wasn't that his telepathy was inadequate, but rather that his cultivation was not yet up to par.

Just then, Xu Weixiong came to Jiang Xuan's side and reached out his hand.

"The Crimson Dragon Ancient Sword, let me use it."

Jiang Xuan was taken aback at first. Although he didn't know what Xu Weixiong was going to do, he still handed over the Crimson Dragon Ancient Sword out of trust.

Jiang Xuan just watched him quietly, wanting to see what Xu Weixiong was up to.

As soon as the Crimson Dragon Ancient Sword was in his hand, Xu Weixiong could feel a cheering and jubilant reaction.

This sword was, after all, her former personal sword, and holding it in her hands again did indeed give her a feeling of being in a different world.

The next second, the Crimson Dragon Ancient Sword was instantly drawn from its sheath.

In Xu Weixiong's hands, the Crimson Dragon Ancient Sword seemed to gradually ignite, shimmering with a crimson light.

At the same time, it was like a beast awakening, bursting out a series of clear and melodious sounds like a dragon's roar the moment it was unsheathed, resounding through the sky.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Xuan seemed to realize something, and the next second he appeared behind her. At the same time, he instantly grabbed Xu Weixiong's arm, grasped her hand, and also the Crimson Dragon Ancient Sword.

In that instant, the two of them seemed to have returned to the past, to the time three years ago.

That's how the two of them were back then, using the Crimson Dragon Ancient Sword together to fight their enemies.

At this moment, the two of them didn't even exchange many words, and simply tossed the Crimson Dragon Ancient Sword high into the air.

As Jiang Xuan and his companion tossed the sword into the air, it seemed to land in the clouds, soaring high into the sky.

Xu Weixiong and Jiang Xuan both had sharp eyes and spoke softly at the same time.

"Edict!"

As the two voices fell, countless bolts of lightning gathered, and they, carried by the Crimson Dragon Ancient Sword, hurtled straight down towards Magistrate Li at breakneck speed.

At this moment, Magistrate Li's eyes widened, and his voice revealed fear and dread.

But before he could beg for mercy, the lightning had already struck.

boom!

Rumble!

The Crimson Dragon Ancient Sword pierced into Magistrate Li's body, and at the same time, countless bolts of lightning spread through Magistrate Li's body along the blade of the Crimson Dragon Ancient Sword.
