Zombie World: Starting as an apprentice of the Thunder King

Gray Ninth Master sensed their gazes, and a cold killing intent flashed in his eyes.

A terrifying aura erupted from it, pressing down on the three cubs like a mountain.

"Have you seen enough?"

Rat shuddered, his entire body pressed to the ground, his face buried in the earth, barely daring to breathe.

The other two younger brothers were also crushed and pinned down, trembling all over, unable to move.

"Grandpa, spare me! Grandpa, spare me!" Rat kowtowed desperately, his forehead hitting the stone with a loud thud.

Master Hui snorted coldly and withdrew his imposing aura.

"Speak, what is it?"

Big Rat lay on the ground, not daring to raise his head, and recounted the whole story in a trembling voice.

Upon hearing this, Master Hui's eyes turned bloodshot and his face contorted!

The killing intent emanating from him surged out like a tide, causing the temperature in the entire underground cave to drop by more than ten degrees.

Rat and his two henchmen were so frightened that they froze on the ground, too scared to move.

"Shi Jian... Shi Jian..." Gray Ninth Master gritted his teeth, his voice icy cold, "What a Shi Jian!"

It slammed its paw onto the stone bed, sending pebbles flying.

"You old bastard, you injured me, stole my elixir, and made me lose face in front of Master Hu!"

"Now your apprentice dares to come out and beat up my son!"

Master Hui stood up, his bald body radiating a strong demonic aura. Although his injuries had not yet healed, his fierce aura remained undiminished.

Rat raised his head and looked cautiously at Gray Ninth Master.

"Ancestor, that young Taoist priest... should we still make a move?"

"Move!" Gray Ninth Master waved his hand. "Why aren't you moving?"

"But Shi Jian..."

"Shi Jian is in Qingzhu Mountain, hundreds of miles away from Ye Family Town. By the time he arrives, it will be too late." A sinister glint flashed in Master Hui Jiu's eyes. "That little Taoist priest is only at the early stage of Taoist cultivation. I can crush him with a single finger."

"If I can't beat Shi Jian, can't I beat his disciple?"

Master Hui laughed loudly, the sound echoing in the cave and causing stalactites to fall down with a clatter.

"Shi Jian, you think you're done for just because you stole my elixir? If I can't kill you, I'll kill your disciple and collect some interest first!"

"That brat with the pure Yang Dao body, if I eat him, I'll gain at least two hundred years of cultivation, and my injuries will heal. I'll settle the score with you then!"

The rat's eyes lit up. "Our ancestor was wise!"

Master Hui stopped laughing and waved his hand.

"Gather my men! Anyone with over three hundred years of cultivation, take them with you to Ye Family Town and kill that little Taoist priest!"

Fearing for his life and worried about something going wrong, Master Hui Jiu immediately called upon his children and grandchildren, telling them to take care of things so he could escape!

The rat quickly got up and ran out of the burrow to gather help.

Standing in front of the stone bed, Master Hui looked at his bare body, his eyes filled with an intense, unyielding hatred.

It has lived for eight hundred years and has never suffered such a great loss.

This grudge must be avenged.

Not long after, Big Mouse ran back, followed by more than a dozen gray mice.

Each one was as big as a hyena, with glossy fur and fierce-looking green eyes.

These are the most elite fighting forces of the Gray Clan, each possessing over three hundred years of cultivation.

The two strongest ones already have five hundred years of cultivation.

Gray Ninth Master looked at them and nodded.

"Walk!"

A dozen or so gray rats followed Gray Ninth Master out of the tunnel and ran wildly toward Ye Family Town.

They traveled more than 300 li (approximately 150 kilometers) and spent most of the day traveling, finally arriving at Yejia Town in the evening.

Master Hui Jiu did not rush to make a move, but ordered his men to disperse and lie in ambush outside the town.

"Wait until dark." Gray Ninth Master squatted atop a large tree, squinting at the town. "We'll make our move after dark."

In Yejia Town, the streets were bustling with activity just as dawn was breaking.

The night watchman, carrying a lantern, rubbed his sleepy eyes. Before he could finish striking the clapper, he saw two people lying in the alley.

"What's going on? Is he drunk?"

He leaned closer to take a look and was so terrified that he dropped everything he was holding.

Two middle-aged men lay in the alley, covered in blood, their faces pale, with a bowl-sized wound on their chests, the blood already congealed!

The night watchman recognized the two men as Old Master Ye's eldest and second sons.

"Disaster... disaster! People are dead!"

The night watchman screamed, turned and ran, running to the town's security team's gate, where he frantically pounded on the door.

"Help! Something terrible has happened!"

The security guards were woken up and opened the door, grumbling as they went.

"Who's the idiot who's been knocking on the door?"

The team leader's surname was Liu, his given name was Liu Qiang, he was in his thirties, and he had a scar on his face. He looked quite fierce and was known as Liu the Scarface!

"Do you want to spend a few days in jail? What time is it and you're already knocking on the door? Even if the emperor dies, he'd better wait for you!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked back to get some more sleep!

The night watchman stood there, stunned, unsure of what to say.

"Captain, someone's dead in the street!"

Liu the Scarface waved his hand impatiently, preparing to close the door. "So what if someone dies? These days, a few people die every day."

The night watchman cried out in alarm, "But the two dead men were the two sons of the Ye family patriarch!"

Clang!

"What did you say?" Liu Daba, clutching his head, stared at the night watchman with a pained expression. "Why the hell didn't you say so sooner!"

"I wanted to say it too, but if I did, wouldn't you arrest me?" the watchman said, looking completely wronged.

"you......"

Liu Daba pointed at the night watchman, his eyes widening, but he didn't care about anything else and quickly called a squad of soldiers to rush into the alley.

Upon seeing the corpses of the two Ye brothers, Liu Daba's face turned even uglier.

The Ye family were local tyrants in Ye Family Town. Old Master Ye was on friendly terms with the county magistrate, and he, a mere security captain, couldn't afford to offend them.

"What bad luck, send them to the Ye family." Liu the Scarface waved his hand.

Several soldiers carried the two corpses and followed Liu Daba to the Ye family ancestral home.

Inside the Ye family ancestral home, Old Master Ye was still asleep when he was awakened by a series of urgent knocks on the door, and his anger immediately surged!

"Who was so inconsiderate as to knock on the door so early in the morning?"

"Master! Master! Something terrible has happened! The eldest young master and the second young master are in trouble!"

Grandpa Ye jumped out of bed with a start and ran out to open the door without even putting on his shoes.

The butler stood at the door, his face ashen and his body trembling.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Old Master Ye grabbed the butler's collar.

"The eldest young master and the second young master... are dead..."

Old Master Ye's mind went blank, his vision went black, and he almost fell over.

The butler quickly helped him up. "Master, master, are you alright?"

"Get out of here!"

Old Master Ye pushed the butler aside and stumbled out.

I ran to the front yard and saw two door panels parked there, with two people lying on them, covered with white sheets.

Old Master Ye rushed over, lifted the white cloth, and saw that his eldest son's face was deathly pale, his eyes were still open, and he died with his eyes open.

He then lifted another white cloth, and his second son, too, stared wide-eyed with a look of terror on his face.

Grandpa Ye collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down his face.

"My son! My son!"
