The remaining two soldiers closest to the crazy soldier were well-trained. They rushed at the crazy soldier and tried to restrain him.
However, as soon as their fingers touched the man’s arm, they were thrown out by a strong force and hit the ground in the distance. It was not known what mechanism they touched. In a whole patrol of 20 people, ten people howled like wild animals and suddenly glared at everyone else with reddened eyes, turning to slaughter the other soldiers.
The several soldiers who were still besieging You Ming all changed their expressions and stared at You Ming in horror. At first, they all retreated a few steps, and then they turned around and hit these crazy soldiers who attacked their own people.
As soon as You Ming raised his hand, he cut off the head of the soldier who had first gone crazy, and the head fell to the ground. When it finally stopped, You Ming clearly saw that there was an unpleasant purple evil Qi flying out of the body, and dense thumb-sized insects were crawling out along with the black blood. A fishy smell assaulted their nostrils.
When Yan Tianhen saw this, he could no longer hold back. His expression changed and he rushed over. He held Feng Jingyu’s neck in one hand and forced his beak to face the insects running around, saying: “Maomao, spit fire!”
Feng Jingyu: “…”
Although unwilling, Feng Jingyu still spit out fire and scorched all the insects. “What are these things!”
“Why are there so many insects in their heads?”
“It stinks!”
The intact soldiers were also going crazy. Obviously, they were no match for those crazy soldiers. Moreover, they had been stationed in the Northern border for several years and had never seen such a battle.
They had just suffered from the torture of an endless wave of creatures. At this time, everyone was panicked and paranoid, feeling like everyone else was the enemy. If they didn’t remember their responsibilities, they would’ve run away as fast as they could.
Yan Tianhen didn’t hesitate to join them. He cut off the heads of all the crazy soldiers without hesitation, his movements quick and efficient.
“Maomao!” Yan Tianhen said.
Without waiting for Yan Tianhen’s command, Feng Jingyu took the initiative to spit out fire and burn all the insects crawling around.
The soldiers who narrowly escaped the disaster looked at the withered and rotten corpses on the ground with pale faces. The smell was so bad that several people couldn’t help covering their mouths and retching. Some brave people tried to get closer to have a closer look, but Yan Tianhen stopped them.
“These bodies have been polluted by evil gu and must be burned.” Yan Tianhen frowned and said disgustedly, “But before that, I’d better take these bodies to King Zhen so that he can see them.”

The soldiers stared at each other. No one dared to come forward. Yan Tianhen picked up two corpses and performed the Imperial Corpse Technique, so that they could stand up and walk by themselves even without a head.

Yan Tianhen commanded the corpses to walk into the palace with such carelessness. Once King Zhen found that the person who came was King Ye, he didn’t dare to stop it. Secondly, so many walking corpses had appeared among his patrol soldiers. For his own safety, he naturally wanted to see with his own eyes what these things were.
Yan Huaizhen, who had already received the news, personally rushed to the gate of the palace to meet his brother who had come from a long distance. Whether he was genuine or not, he was very polite.
Ling Chigu followed closely. The battle robes on his body had been changed. The murderous aura on his whole body from the fierce battle with the evil spirits had also faded away.
Seeing Yan Zhonghua, Yan Huaizhen bowed his hands and said thoughtfully, “Elder Brother, you’ve come a long way, and this younger brother has missed a chance to welcome you. I hope that Brother can forgive me.”
Yan Zhonghua looked at Yan Huaizhen and thought that his brother had changed a lot, so he didn’t act cold with Yan Huaizhen and instead cut to the chase.
“On my way here, I met a group of patrolling soldiers. Some of them had some problems. You can send someone to check.”
As soon as the voice fell, Yan Tianhen let go and allowed the two rotten and shriveled corpses to jump straight to the ground and fall next to King Zhen. The black blood flowed out along their large wounds.
Yan Huaizhen’s face changed slightly. Because the smell was too bad, he stepped back a few steps and asked with a frown, “What’s this?”
Yan Tianhen said, “It’s a corpse controlled by evil gu. It’s a method unique to evil Qi cultivators.”
Yan Huaizhen looked at Yan Tianhen and said to Ling Chigu, “Go investigate.”
Ling Chigu answered as if he couldn’t smell the stench. He walked forward without a change on his face, put on a pair of gold gloves, and untied the corpse’s outer clothing.
After untying the clothes, the corpse was covered with dense holes made by insects. Everyone’s scalp went numb. They wanted to retch somewhere.
Even Yan Tianhen, who had already known about this, couldn’t help looking away.
Suddenly, a black insect rushed towards Ling Chigu from a hole in the corpse’s heart. Ling Chigu reacted quickly. First, he tilted his head, then stretched out two fingers to clamp the insect. With a little force, the insect was pinched and burst.
The body of the insect turned into a puddle of purplish-black evil water, which slid down his golden gloves and fell to the ground.
At the moment when the water touched the ground, the ground burned up. Wisps of black smoke rose up, leaving a trace on the ground.
Yan Huaizhen’s face changed a few times and became very ugly. He never thought that this thing would be so powerful, and they could even disguise themselves as his guards.
It would not be difficult for the evil creatures to take his life.
Yan Zhonghua said, “I’m afraid the corpse under the control of evil gu has long since died. However, why can it disguise itself among your guards and act like a normal person without being found? You need to investigate that yourself.”
Yan Huaizhen took a deep breath and obviously still didn’t recover from the shock. A moment later, he removed his eyes from the corpse riddled with holes and looked at Yan Zhonghua.
“Thank you for your help, Elder Brother. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even know that such madness had happened to me.”
Yan Zhonghua then said, “You should also feel the horror of Heaven’s Wail, evil creatures besieging the city, and the invasion of evil Qi.”
Yan Huaizhen nodded heavily in a grave manner. “Indeed, I heard that the dragon clan had been attacked by evil creatures above their imperial city. I originally thought it was an exaggeration, but I didn’t expect that I was ignorant. If Elder Brother hadn’t helped me this time, Northern Liang City wouldn’t have been able to force the enemy to retreat so easily.”
Feng Jingyu flapped his wings angrily under Yan Tianhen’s clothes to express his dissatisfaction — Bah, I was obviously the one who did the most work.
This Yan Huaizhen clearly knew, but he was still deliberately pretending to not know. Sure enough, this love rival was too dishonest!
Something moved in front of Yan Tianhen’s chest, and Yan Huaizhen’s eyes looked there. Yan Tianhen calmly stuffed Feng Jingyu deeper into his clothes.
Feng Jingyu: “….”
Ling Chigu’s eyes glanced imperceptibly at the bulging clothes. A trace of gentleness flashed through his eyes, but he soon hid that.
Regardless of the actual relationship between Yan Zhonghua and Yan Huaizhen, Yan Zhonghua always has to act like a brother to Yan Huaizhen.
Although he was delayed by this headless corpse, Yan Huaizhen soon sent Ling Chigu to investigate and deal with this matter in person and invited Yan Zhonghua and others into the hall with courtesy.
It wouldn’t do to continue talking at the doorway.
Taking advantage of Yan Huaizhen’s inattention, Feng Jingyu found a chance to fly out of Yan Tianhen’s clothes. He flapped his wings and flew towards Ling Chigu.
Ling Chigu was followed by several guards. Although these guards looked like Yan Huaizhen’s people on the surface, they were actually old troops from the Ling family.
Although they didn’t reveal themselves at all when they were in Yan Huaizhen’s army previously, in fact, all of them were the Ling family’s genuine death guards. During the Ling family’s crisis, the death guards whose identities were already exposed all died protecting the Ling family, but there was still a small portion of them who were still able to hide their identities and secretly infiltrate Yan Huaizhen’s forces, waiting for the day when their master would return.
Ling Chigu led them outside the palace to look for the walking corpses hidden among the guards. Because the patrol team was too scattered, Ling Chigu acted alone, while his subordinates acted together. If they found anything, they would contact Ling Chigu with a transmission bell.
Ling Chigu didn’t go looking for the walking corpses. Instead, he came to a small alley whose owner had just moved but didn’t have time to sell it yet.
After looking around and making sure that no one else was there, he called, “Maomao, come out.”
Feng Jingyu appeared in human form, standing in front of Ling Chigu with a pair of golden red eyes glaring at him. He said angrily, “Who let you call me Maomao? We’re not that familiar with each other! In fact, we seem to be enemies!”
Ling Chigu pulled Feng Jingyu into his arms without giving any room for discussion. He curled his lips and whispered into Feng Jingyu’s ear, “Enemies, are you sure?”
Feng Jingyu lifted his knee and slammed it towards Ling Chigu’s abdomen, but Ling Chigu turned and pressed him against the wall. His hands were restrained, and Ling Chigu stubbornly inserted one leg between his legs. It was even more difficult to take any action, unless… he spewed fire at Ling Chigu’s face.
Ling Chigu seemed to see through Feng Jingyu’s intentions, and actually blocked Feng Jingyu’s mouth directly with his own mouth. Ling Chigu blocked Feng Jingyu’s mouth so deeply that he didn’t even want to pull his tongue out of Feng Jingyu’s mouth, as if he was afraid that Feng Jingyu would spray fire all over his face as soon as he pulled out.
Feng Jingyu finally reached the end of his patience and bit him.
Ling Chigu was in pain but did not retract his tongue. Instead, he entangled his tongue with Feng Jingyu’s again, this time with the taste of blood, and finally pulled back reluctantly. Then he licked the silver thread at the corner of his lips, his face covered with regret that he couldn’t continue this anymore.
Feng Jingyu’s mood suddenly relaxed, but he still said in a gloomy voice, “Hey, Ling what’s-your-face, why are you not serving your King Zhen but running here to pester me instead? I’ve already made it clear before that all ties between us have been severed, and we’ll go our separate ways as strangers from now on. Don’t you forget that.”
“I haven’t forgotten.” Ling Chigu grabbed Feng Jingyu’s hand and pressed it on his own heart. “You followed me in life and in death, gathered my three souls and seven spirits, and suffered all kinds of grievances — I haven’t forgotten a single thing. I’m just waiting to repay you with my life and my heart in the future.”
Feng Jingyu originally wanted to pull back his hand and curse, ‘Why are you bringing these things up for?’ But suddenly he felt that something was wrong.
Feng Jingyu’s heart turned cold and he frowned. “Ling Chigu, why don’t you have a heartbeat!?”
Only dead people didn’t have a heartbeat, but Ling Chigu’s souls and spirits had already been gathered back together, so he should’ve returned to the living!
Ling Chigu 😭😢
