Chapter #65. The Zombie Plague (3) Seeking Help "Your Majesty, there is special news from Moon City. The military operation led by the Prime Minister and General Bao has failed, and the royal army has been annihilated. Only a small portion survived without injuries, and almost half of the troops sent there have turned into the undead," the messenger stammered. "How can this happen? Wasn't the previous report about successfully burning and destroying the undead?" King Han Fu growled. "The news is accurate; there is no doubt about it. The issue we're facing is the lack of precise information regarding these undead." "I await further orders from Your Majesty," the messenger said. "Inform all the ministers to gather in the meeting room and invite the Moon Sect and Star Sect masters to join this meeting," the king ordered. "Your command will be carried out," the messenger replied before withdrawing. King Han Fu massaged his throbbing temples, weighed down by the multitude of recent
Chapter #66. The Zombie Plague (4)Tian Fan, Tianzhi, Kai Fu, Anchi, and Elder Liubei, under the leadership of the first elder, Yelu, were ordered by the sect master Lu Bu to depart for the Han Kingdom to assist with the ongoing crisis.Initially, Lu Bu was reluctant to allow Tian Fan to go to the Han Kingdom. However, after hearing the account from the two sect masters, Zixin and Shaosheng, Tian Fan finally insisted on being permitted to go.Tian Fan's curiosity and eagerness were genuinely stirred, as he had a strong desire to travel to the Han Kingdom to understand the nature of the undead. His primary motivation for visiting the Han Kingdom was to reunite with his first master. Additionally, he was concerned about the well-being of his two former masters.Due to Tian Fan's strong determination to go, Lu Bu eventually relented and asked the first elder to join and lead the Sun Sect's aid group. The first elder was assigned the specific task of covertly protecting Tian Fan.Zixin an
Chapter #67. The Zombie Plague (5)Vomiting in UnisonTian Fan handed two bottles of pills to the Moon Sect master, Zixin. The first bottle contained an antidote to reduce the poisoning suffered by Zixin's disciple. The second bottle held Tian Fan's specially concocted numbing pills, which would immobilize the body temporarily.Afterward, Tian Fan and the Sun Sect group continued their journey to the Moon City. Tian Fan still needed to find a remedy for the undead that might still be saved. Furthermore, he felt the need to conduct further research to create pills that could prevent transmission, ensuring the number of undead wouldn't increase.Elder Yelu initially disagreed with Tian Fan going to the Moon City. However, since Tian Fan insisted with a valid reason, Elder Yelu finally approved.This time, Tian Fan and his group set out for the Moon City with the Moon Sect master Shaosheng and his sect elders. Zixin stayed behind in order to care for his main disciple.After a half-stick
Chapter #68. The Zombie Plague (6)A Different SituationRain poured down on the Moon City that evening, and the rain caused the hundreds of human corpses to emit a pungent odor that offended everyone's nostrils.General Guan Feng had intentionally refrained from ordering the soldiers to move the bodies, fearing that the soldiers might contract the disease from the fully deceased undead.Tian Fan's face lit up with the current rain. His eyes remained fixed on the sprawled undead bodies lying dead in front of the Moon City's fortifications.Tian Fan immediately cleaned his hands, which were dirty from handling the internal organs of the undead, using his fire-based qi. His eyes gleamed brightly as his fire qi burned away all the black blood that clung to his hands.After thoroughly cleaning his hands, Tian Fan returned to the waiting group."Your face seems so elated. Have you found something related to these undead? If you have, please share it with us," Elder Yelu said impatiently."
Chapter #69. The Zombie Plague (7)It Turns Out...With one swift swing of his sword, Tian Fan beheaded several undead around him, causing their heads to fall to the ground, black blood spurting from the severed necks.Thousands of undead kept pouring in, pressing upon the entire army and cultivators outside the fortress.Rumble, rumble!The thunderous sound reverberated through the sky as dark clouds began to gather above Moon City. The sudden thunder rumbled, causing the undead to halt their attack and stand still in their tracks.After two breaths, thousands of undead turned and ran back into the forest, while those in the city scattered aimlessly. The undead ran instinctively.Observing this, Tian Fan immediately addressed everyone."Everyone, listen up! Do not allow the undead within the city to escape. Annihilate them! They are certainly seeking shelter in dark places. Don't be afraid; they won't resist. Hurry, don't waste this opportunity," Tian Fan said and then returned to Mo
Chapter #70. The Zombie Plague (8)Escape"It... my suspicion was correct," Tian Fan said, observing something emerging from the wound left by the undead's bite.Tian Fan saw that a dozen thread-like black worms, each as long as a finger, were coming out from the bite wound, shiny black in color.He quickly collected these worms in a cup and examined them closely.Next, Tian Fan pricked his finger and let his blood drip into the cup. The previously lifeless worms suddenly wriggled and began to absorb Tian Fan's blood from the cup.Tian Fan then started to think and speculate on how to kill these worms inside the bodies of those bitten.After a while, he assumed a lotus position and began meditating again. He contemplated various possibilities for healing those who were bitten and also those who had turned into undead.During his meditation, Tian Fan pondered and speculated on different predictions and experiments related to the purification of the pills he conducted unconsciously.Whi
Chapter #71. The Zombie Plague (9)Journey to Black Flower CityTian Fan and Tianzhi leaped through every tree branch, skillfully passing each branch rapidly, while hundreds of undead beneath them sensed their presence and continued chasing them from below.The deeper they entered the forest, the more undead followed them, and these undead became increasingly aggressive in pursuing Tian Fan and Tianzhi."These undead are indeed a nuisance," Tianzhi muttered, his hands itching to exterminate them all.Tian Fan shared the same sentiment. If it weren't for the urgency of reaching Black Flower City, he might have plunged into the crowd of undead beneath him.They both stopped on the last tree branch in the wind valley, with nothing but tall grass reaching their height. Countless undead lurked beneath them. Tian Fan furrowed his brows when he looked at the undead below."It seems like they are growing fiercer, and their sense of smell is becoming sharper. Could they be evolving every day?"
Chapter #72. The Zombie Plague (10)DiscoveryTian Fan entered Black Flower City, meticulously examining the conditions within. The city was eerily quiet and deserted, with only the stench of death and blood hanging heavily in the air.As he walked through the city and went over every inch of it, he didn't forget to burn the corpses he encountered along the way.For nearly three sticks of incense, Tian Fan searched and scoured the entirety of Black Flower City. Yet, he hadn't found any meaningful clues that could help him obtain the ingredients for the antidote for the undead."Ah, why did I forget such a trivial thing? The person who can create the antidote must be an alchemist, and whoever can hire or command an alchemist must be a person of wealth.""I should start searching from the residences of the city's elite. Maybe there are useful clues, and even if I don't find anything, I'll surely acquire something good there. Perhaps I can find unattended treasures," he mumbled to himsel
