Holding a lantern, guiding souls across, Lady Hou comes from the underworld.

What exactly happened inside Lianjiabao?

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Ji couldn't help but feel a surge of tension.

None of the people from the Suspended Mirror Hall present had ever experienced this before, and they couldn't help but feel curious.

Zhai Hui sneered before replying, "The 'thing' that the mysterious person was talking about cleaning up is indeed not a person, but... a corpse."

Everyone was startled.

Ren Fengjue also frowned slightly.

Yuwen Ji remained skeptical: "He actually sent you to clean up the corpses?"

Zhai Hui seemed to grit his teeth, and his voice turned cold and hard, "That's a moving 'corpse'."

Upon hearing this, the people of Xuanjing Hall were in an uproar, each with their own explanation.

Yuwen Ji had spent so many years in prison, he had dealt with corpses quite a bit.

He dismissed the other person's nonsense and asked, "What do you mean by that? How can a corpse move?"

Zhai Hui, however, showed no sign of mockery; in fact, he emphasized his tone.

"It means what you understand it to be: those 'corpses' can not only move, but they can also kill people..."

As soon as I stepped into Lianjiabao, I heard a chorus of cries.

Zhai Hui inwardly cried out in alarm, but still followed the direction of the sound to find Li Feng and the others.

However, when you arrive at a square, you see a group of monsters, neither human nor ghost, chasing and tearing at the crowd.

The cries of despair and helplessness, the heart-wrenching calls for help, were incessant.

Besides blood, there were mutilated limbs, torsos, and even... severed heads on the ground.

Zhai Hui had lived for over thirty years and had been involved in the underworld for over a decade, but he had never seen such a sight before.

The brothers who followed him were also terrified...

"Deputy Hall Master... what should we do now?"

Zhai Hui's hand holding the knife was trembling, but his mind was blank, and he couldn't make a decision at all.

Until the "corpses" discovered them and started chasing after them like madmen.

"Let's get going!"

Realizing that the situation was completely out of control, Zhai Hui gritted his teeth and simply ordered a retreat.

However, as soon as they turned around, a large number of "corpses" surrounded them from all directions, and for a moment, they had no way to retreat.

As a result, everyone had no choice but to draw their weapons and fight back.

These "corpses" have not only lost their humanity but also their sense of pain. Even when cut in two, they can still attack people like madmen.

What's even more terrifying is that they keep coming one after another, their numbers are countless...

The once vast Lianjiabao has now become a "corpse fortress".

Zhai Hui was in a state of confusion. He only knew to swing his long knife left and right. Although the "corpses" could not get close to him for a while, they were ultimately outnumbered.

Seeing that many people around him had already fallen, he could only cover his brothers in the gang while shouting, "Everyone, find a chance to get out of here quickly!"

However, those brothers who had risked their lives with him turned around and protected him, pushing him away.

"Deputy Master, don't worry about us. If you can leave, leave now!"

"The sect leader has disappeared, but the Suspended Mirror Sect... still needs you!"

"Hurry! Hurry up!"

Zhai Hui understood that in this situation, they could only let one person go.

Unable to let his brother down, he stumbled out of the square, only to be stopped by Li Feng at the entrance.

"You abandoned your brothers and became a deserter yourself. I never imagined you could be so cowardly!"

At this moment, Li Feng was also covered in wounds and exhausted, but it seemed that he had no intention of running away.

Zhai Hui knew he was stubborn, and at this critical moment of life and death, he didn't want to worry too much.

"Li Feng, don't try to be a hero now, come with me!"

To his surprise, Li Feng was completely ungrateful and pointed the broken sword at him, saying, "We live together or we die together. If you dare to run away, I will kill you."

As a result of this delay, a larger group of "corpses" surrounded them.

Zhai Hui knew he couldn't escape, so he had no choice but to draw his long sword again to fight off the horde of zombies...

"I knew I wasn't going to survive, so with my last breath, I thought I'd hold on for as long as I could..."

"I remember it very clearly. When I was completely exhausted, a 'corpse' pounced on me. I had no chance to fight back, and it bit my neck..."

"I fainted on the spot, thinking I was dead, but I came back to life unharmed. It was the Holy Son who saved me..."

At this point, Zhai Hui himself found it unbelievable, and his tone was full of reverence for the Three Holy Sons.

Yuwen Ji still felt that he was lying.

"Are you sure the 'corpse' you saw was real? The Lian family has always been fond of making poisons, could it be that you were poisoned and are hallucinating?"

Zhai Hui immediately retorted, "So many people went, but in the end only Li Feng and I came back. How could it be a hallucination?"

Taking the opportunity, Ren Fengjue asked, "What about those people's bodies?"

Zhai Hui paused for a moment before answering, "It can't be found anymore."

He further explained, "After Li Feng and I recovered from our injuries, we went to Lianjiabao again, but it was empty. All the 'corpses,' including the bodies of my brothers, were gone."

Ren Fengjue then asked, "Have you asked the Third Holy Son how he saved you?"

Zhai Hui said with considerable pride, "The Holy Son only said that Li Fengyang and I had not yet reached the end of our lifespan, which is why he was able to bring us back from the brink of death."

Ren Fengjue understood and didn't ask any more questions, but said something to Xia Ximo beside him.

"It seems we still have to go to Lianjiabao."

Xia Ximo turned to look at him as well: "We're still trapped here."

Ren Fengjue smiled, showing no sign of panic, and said to Yuwen Ji below, "Senior Yuwen, this Deputy Hall Master Zhai has explained everything that needed to be explained. Shouldn't you also fulfill your promise?"

To his surprise, Yuwen Ji gave a cold laugh, "I do know a way out, but it has nothing to do with them."

Upon hearing this, the people of Xuanjing Hall stirred up another wave of excitement.

Zhai Hui angrily retorted, "You lied to me!"

Yuwen Ji retorted, "Didn't you just say that the Holy Son can bring the dead back to life? If that's truly the case, what harm is there in dying again?"

Zhai Hui was so angry that he choked. Just as he was about to speak, the members of the gang beside him were even more indignant than he was.

"Vice Hall Master, you have the Holy Son to save you, but what about us? We don't want to die either!"

"We are also wholeheartedly devoted to the Holy Son. Are we to stand idly by and do nothing about it?"

"If he can't save us in a crucial moment, why should we side with him?"

Zhai Hui grew increasingly irritated by the cacophony of voices around him, and kicked the person closest to him to the ground.

He then stepped on the other person's chest and cursed, "Fools like you, ready to betray yourselves at the slightest comment, and you expect the Three Holy Sons to save you? Wishful thinking!"

Just then, the sound of a sharp weapon cutting through the air came from the opposite direction.
