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

Not long after Li Feng left Lianjiabao, a strange wind blew in his face, bringing with it a strong smell of blood.

It's the smell of those corpses...

He knew that these corpses, controlled by the "corpse puppet gu," would bury themselves in the ground during the day, and would emerge from the ground at night if they sensed the presence of living people.

At this point, there was still an hour before dawn, and they would inevitably make their way around.

Thinking of this, Li Feng was about to find a place to hide when, in the next second, two leaves flew in from nowhere, like knives, and sliced ​​directly into his legs…

A piercing pain shot through him, and he gasped for breath. Finally, unable to support himself, he knelt on the ground.

A strange wind swirled around him, like the whispers of a demon, while the footsteps and roars of the dead grew ever closer.

Li Feng gritted his teeth, intending to hide himself while enduring the pain, but the next second, his face turned ashen.

Not far away, the familiar eight-bearer sedan chair was slowly approaching.

The person in the sedan chair was revered as a deity, his power unfathomable.

As the bells in front of the sedan chair jingled, the group of corpses followed closely behind.

Li Feng knew he couldn't escape...

He struggled to his feet and waited for the sedan chair to come to him.

However, under the intense pressure, he could not stand steadily and knelt heavily on the ground again.

The person in the sedan chair leaned down and stretched out a hand, beckoning to him.

Li Feng looked up, aimed at the bell under the lamp, and tried with all his might to snatch it away.

However, before his hand could even get close, several more leaves, like sharp blades, pierced directly into his hand…

He cried out in pain as his entire arm instantly went numb.

Immediately afterwards, two sedan chair bearers, one drawing a long whip and the other an iron ruler, attacked him directly.

"Those who betray the Holy Son deserve to die!"

Li Feng was in so much pain that he lost all feeling in his body. When he looked up at the person in the sedan chair again, his eyes were full of provocation.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I never truly believed you; I was just putting on an act to deceive you..."

Upon hearing his words, the high and mighty "true god" showed no anger, but instead smiled slightly.

"I will forgive you, but you should also pay the price for your actions."

As he spoke, he gently beckoned, and a servant behind him brought over the sword case and handed it to him.

Li Feng was puzzled, but he still slowly took it. However, when he opened the sword box, his blood turned cold.

Inside the sword case, besides his own broken sword, there was also a head.

The owner of the head was none other than the hall master, Zhan Yi.

Li Feng immediately let out a painful roar.

The holy son on the palanquin waved with satisfaction, and the eight-bearer palanquin followed, but what surrounded it was a group of corpses…

-

Inside Lianjiabao, Yu Lang faintly heard a shout, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Sir, I feel like there's a noise outside."

Ren Fengjue, who was searching for clues inside the "Medicine Hut," also listened intently. However, what he heard was the roar of Lian Xu, the fortress lord, from behind the iron bars.

It was at this moment that Ren Fengjue noticed a wooden box in front of Lian Xu, which must have fallen from him.

Generally speaking, anything that can be carried with you must be very important.

Therefore, there is probably something hidden in that box.

However, even though Lian Xu was chained up, getting too close would inevitably result in injury.

We'll definitely need to rely on other things...

Ren Fengjue looked around and said to Yu Lang, "Look around, see if there are any long objects like wooden sticks or sticks..."

Yu Lang looked around and found nothing else besides the pestle on the table.

Just then, a faint noise came from outside.

Ren Fengjue was startled and quickly closed the door of the medicine hut, then moved tables and chairs over to block the door.

The two immediately crouched down under the table, trying to hold their breath.

The next second, a series of footsteps passed heavily from the porch outside the door, accompanied by a roar.

Lian Xu inside also roared, but the group of corpses ignored him and walked away.

Yu Lang was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his back. Only after hearing the footsteps fade away did he breathe a sigh of relief and whisper to Ren Fengjue, "Sir, we've arrived at their lair."

Ren Fengjue, however, was still thinking about the wooden box. He said, "We need to find a way to break the 'Corpse Puppet Gu'."

As he spoke, he pointed to the wooden box in front of Lian Xu and said, "Yu Lang, you have to cooperate with me."

"What?"

"You're in charge of attracting the corpse, and I'll take the things in front of it."

"attract?"

Yu Lang couldn't help but shudder: "How am I supposed to attract him?"

Ren Fengjue glanced at him and said, "Rely on your skills and reflexes."

The faint roars of corpses could be heard outside again; it seemed they could be discovered at any moment.

Yu Lang looked at the Lian Family Fortress Master behind the iron bars and felt a chill run down his spine, but he still gritted his teeth and stepped forward.

He stretched out a hand and waved it in front of Lian Xu.

Sensing the presence of a living person, the other party indeed lunged towards him.

Yu Lang was so frightened that he pulled his hand back, only to find that Lian Xu was standing on the box.

Ren Fengjue said, "Let him catch you first."

"What?"

Ren Fengjue replied, "I have a way."

Yu Lang shuddered, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to bite the bullet and move his body a step closer.

Lian Xu inside reacted extremely quickly, rushing forward and grabbing his collar and shoulders.

Thus, half of Yu Lang's body was imprisoned behind the iron bars, unable to move even if he wanted to run away.

Just as Lian Xu opened his mouth to bite his neck, Ren Fengjue quickly shoved the pestle into his mouth...

Yu Lang was terrified. "My lord! Save me!"

Ren Fengjue said, "Hold on for a while."

As he spoke, he drew his long sword from his waist, reached behind the iron bars, and, taking advantage of Lian Xu's attention being focused on Yu Lang, quickly pulled the box from the ground...

After obtaining the box, Ren Fengjue immediately went to help Yu Lang escape danger.

However, he clearly underestimated the strength of the corpse. At this moment, no matter how hard he tried, he could not pry open the hand that was gripping Yu Lang's shoulder.

At this moment, the horde of corpses outside clearly sensed that someone was inside the medicine hut and began frantically banging on the doors and windows.

In a moment of urgency, Ren Fengjue shouted, "Yu Lang, lower your head!"

After saying that, he directly severed Lian Xu's arm with a sword, and Yu Lang was finally freed from the clutches of evil.

However, the horde of corpses outside became even more turbulent, and just as they were about to destroy the door, a sliver of light suddenly pierced through the sky.

Upon seeing the sunlight, the corpses immediately dispersed. Even Lian Xu, who had lost an arm inside the iron bars, immediately shrank into a corner and buried his head in the wall.

Yu Lang breathed a sigh of relief, then exclaimed in surprise, "Sir, so they're all afraid of light!"
