Zombie World: Starting as an apprentice of the Thunder King

Lin Bei frowned. Where was Sister Na going in the middle of the night?

He remembered that Madonna had acted a little strangely during the day, and then a thought struck him.

Lin Bei grabbed the Demon-Slaying Sword and hung it on his waist, then grabbed a handful of talismans from his bundle and stuffed them into his robes before pushing open the door and walking out.

The corridor was dark and deserted. Lin Bei walked to Madana's room and knocked gently a few times, but there was no response. He then sensed the presence inside.

"They really went out."

Lin Bei went downstairs, pushed open the inn's door, and walked onto the street. The night breeze was cool.

He looked up at the sky; the pale moonlight shone on the street, chilling and desolate.

"Where will Sister Na go? Could it be to the north of the city?"

Lin Bei stopped thinking about it and quickly sped off towards the north of the city, especially towards the Ye family's ancestral home. Lin Bei felt that Sister Na must have noticed something was wrong!

The Ye family ancestral home is located in the north of the city.

This is a very large old house with blue bricks and gray tiles, upturned eaves and corners, and two stone lions at the entrance. You can tell at a glance that it belongs to a wealthy family.

At this moment, a large hall deep inside the house was brightly lit.

Old Master Ye sat in a grand chair, with his three sons standing behind him.

They were all in their forties or fifties, wearing silk gowns, with rosy complexions, looking much younger than their peers.

But at this moment, their faces were filled with respect, even a hint of flattery.

In the very center of the hall, there was an offering table with incense burner, fruit, and pastries. Three sticks of incense were inserted into the incense burner, and wisps of smoke rose from it.

Three enormous rats were squatting on the ground in front of the offering table.

Each one was as big as an adult dog, with glossy gray-brown fur and eerie green eyes that gleamed under the light.

What's even more shocking is that these three mice were actually talking.

"Old Man Ye, today's offerings are quite good, fresher than yesterday's," the largest rat said, its voice high-pitched and shrill.

Grandpa Ye quickly stood up, bent over, and smiled broadly.

"I'm glad the immortal is satisfied. These fruits were just transported from the south this morning and are very fresh."

Another mouse picked up a grape with its paw, put it in its mouth, chewed it twice, and spat out a whole grape skin.

"Old Ye, you knew two people came to your town today, right?"

Old Master Ye was taken aback. He was the local tyrant, and of course he knew about any disturbances in the town.

"The immortal is referring to...those two outsiders?"

"Yes, a man and a woman, both wearing Taoist robes." The biggest rat squinted. "I can't see through the woman, but the man's yang energy is frighteningly strong."

The third mouse licked its lips, its eyes filled with greed.

"I've lived for over three hundred years and this is the first time I've ever encountered such abundant yang energy. If I could eat it, I could gain at least a hundred years of cultivation."

"Hehehe!!! Big brother, if we eat him and return to the clan, the ancestor will definitely think more highly of us!"

A hint of hesitation flashed in Old Master Ye's eyes.

eat human?

Although he had worshipped these gray spirits for many years, he had never harmed anyone.

These immortals usually only ask for offerings and occasionally borrow the bodies of his sons to go out and do errands; they never mentioned harming or killing anyone.

"Immortal, this...this isn't right, is it? After all, those are two lives..."

The largest rat suddenly turned its head, its green eyes staring at Old Master Ye, a fierce glint flashing in them.

"What? You're too scared?"

Old Master Ye felt a chill run down his spine and his legs went weak under that gaze.

"No...it's not that I'm afraid, it's just..."

"But what?" The largest rat stood up, placed its front paws on the offering table, and looked up at Old Master Ye. "Old man Ye, don't you even think about it? Who did your Ye family rely on to get to where you are today?"

"Who helped you build those businesses?"

"Without us, your Ye family would still be selling tofu in this town."

"The stronger our cultivation, the more benefits you will receive!"

Old Master Ye's expression changed several times, and he gritted his teeth.

"What the immortals say is true. The Ye family is where it is today entirely thanks to the protection of the immortals."

"Then what are you still hesitating for?"

Grandpa Ye took a deep breath and turned around to look at his three sons behind him.

"Go and bring those two outsiders back."

The three sons exchanged glances, a hint of excitement flashing in their eyes, and a sinister smile appeared on their lips.

A faint gray demonic aura emanated from them, their eyes gleamed with green, and two sharp fangs sprouted from their mouths.

"Father, don't worry, they're just two outsiders, they won't get away."

After the eldest brother finished speaking, he led his two younger brothers out of the secret room.

Madana landed right on the courtyard wall of the Ye family's ancestral home. The house was quiet, all the lights were out, and only a few lanterns hung in the corridor!

But she could sense that the eerie aura in the house was very strong, permeating the entire house like mist, omnipresent.

Madana floated down from the courtyard wall and landed in the courtyard. Her footsteps were silent as she walked around the courtyard.

When she arrived at the main hall in the backyard, she discovered that there was an offering table with fruit and pastries on it, and the incense in the incense burner had not yet burned out!

Madana looked at the items on the offering table, then at the marks on the ground, and frowned. A strong smell of rats lingered at the scene.

"The Gray family!" Madonna said softly, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes.

She had dealt with the Hui family a few times; they were all a bunch of insatiable bastards!

The incense ash on the offering table was still warm, proving that there were people here not long ago.

She sensed the direction of the demonic energy and discovered that it was moving out of the house.

Madana turned and walked out of the hall, following the demonic aura.

Lin Bei was standing at the corner of an alley, looking in the direction of the Ye family's ancestral home.

Just then, two dark figures darted out from the direction of the Ye family's ancestral home, moving very fast and heading straight for him.

Lin Bei quickly hid behind the wall and held his breath.

The two dark figures drew closer and closer. Lin Bei peeked out and saw that they were two middle-aged men wearing silk jackets, but their faces were hairy with grayish-brown down.

Their eyes glowed green in the darkness, and they had long tails trailing behind them.

Lin Bei was taken aback.

What kind of hybrid species is this? I've never seen one like it before.

Could it be a demon?

The two men ran to the alley entrance and stopped.

"Where is he? Wasn't he just here?" The leader looked around.

The second brother sniffed: "The scent is still there, it's nearby. That kid has a lot of yang energy, he can't escape."

Lin Bei was stunned for a moment. Was this guy coming for him?

Are you kidding me? He just arrived and someone's already showing up at his door?

Is the Pure Yang Dao Body a constitution for cultivation... or a constitution that attracts trouble? Why is it that wherever it goes, people are eyeing it? Is the cultivation world really that lacking in resources these days?
