"Hahaha, is that all you've got?"

The Ghost Face Plague mutant was extremely excited. Not only did it make faces as it flew, but it also held a throwing knife in its hand, which it launched directly at Jiang Chuan's head.

"Hissssss~"

The eerie voice mingled with the surrounding noise as Jiang Chuan deflected the flying knife attack with two quick slaps.

Seeing this, Jiang Chuan was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do. This wisp of gas was really unpredictable. At this moment, Ling Juan called Jiang Chuan over, as he had his own ideas.

"I discovered that his movement restriction was always controlled by his brain, while the body is separate from the brain. Could there be some kind of attack using sound waves?"

"Sound waves? I really don't have that attack method, but there is someone in our sect who is good at sound waves, called the Landlady. She has a loud voice and has been traveling all over the country since she was a child by attacking with sound waves."

"Alright! Let's retreat!"

Without hesitation, Jiang Chuan and Ling Juan immediately divided their tasks: Ling Juan was responsible for holding off the mutants, while Jiang Chuan was responsible for returning to the sect and finding the landlady.

The speed of travel when man and sword are in perfect harmony was remarkable; he arrived at the sect in no time. The sect was unusually quiet, likely because everyone had been dispatched on patrol missions. Jiang Chuan arrived, panting heavily. "Landlady! Is the landlady here?!"

"Master, why are you back? The landlady is here, she seems to be in the training room! I'll call her over."

"Hurry! It's urgent!" Upon hearing this, the disciples of the sect rushed to the training room to find the landlady, throwing their brooms to the ground. They had no choice but to obey the sect's orders.

"Landlady, the sect is looking for you, Jiang Chuan is looking for you, are you still practicing your martial arts?"

"boom!"

A wooden stake fell right in front of the messenger, startling him. "What's the rush? The leader is outside!"

"Yes! Hurry up, it seems like something urgent really needs to be done."

At this moment, the landlady was practicing her kung fu. After listening to the story, she focused her energy in her dantian and slowly exhaled, showing the demeanor of a master.

"Alright, tell the leader I'll go right away."

On the surface, the landlady is a very rough woman. Perhaps because she started practicing martial arts from a young age, she has become even more rough and unkempt since the apocalypse. She also has a loud voice, so everyone calls her the landlady.

The handyman covered his ears and ran away quickly. If he had listened to her say another word, his eardrums would have exploded. He even felt like he was having some hearing impairment now, so it was hard to imagine how loud the landlady's voice was.

"Master! Master! I'm here!" Jiang Chuan rushed over to greet him, eager to take him to rescue his goddess.

I could hear your voice from far away; it's as good as ever.

"Of course! Not only is my voice as good as ever, but my appetite is also astounding. I've only just discovered that eating more and gaining weight can also make my Lion's Roar even more powerful!" Jiang Chuan nodded and said seriously to the landlady.

"Actually, I have something very important to tell you. Let's talk as we walk." With that, Jiang Chuan grabbed the landlady, not caring whether she was alright or not. Saving lives was the most important thing right now.

"Ah...what are you doing! Why are you in such a hurry?"

"The guardian of Qing City has been captured by a mutant. That mutant is a bit strange; he is in a gaseous state, making him very difficult to defeat, especially since he is immune to both physical and magical attacks. Therefore, I desperately need your sonic attack, which should have a unique effect."

The landlady roughly understood, and she was extremely excited. It had been a long time since she had an enemy to practice on, and this time it should be a good opportunity.

"Don't underestimate this enemy, but I estimate you can completely overpower him."

The more she talked, the more excited the landlady became. Because she was a sonic attacker, she could easily hurt allies. So, usually, the landlady was responsible for supporting and finishing off enemies, which made her very unhappy. In addition, she had a bad temper and always wanted to be the main attacker.

Before long, Jiang Chuan slowed down a bit because he was taking the landlady with him. But the landlady suffered because she had never traveled so fast before and almost threw up.

"Master! This makes me want to vomit."

"Don't throw up, stay put, we really need you later."

Jiang Chuan looked completely innocent; he was genuinely anxious to save people.

"Okay, I'll bear with it."

If Ling Juan saw this scene, she wouldn't even bother with the landlady. Whether she could tolerate it or not, saving people was the priority, especially saving Qing Yinyan.

At this moment, Ling Juan was locked in a fierce battle with the Ghost Face Plague mutant. The two were evenly matched, with most of Ling Juan's damage failing to hit the Ghost Face Plague mutant, while the Ghost Face Plague mutant's attacks posed little threat to Ling Juan.

"we are coming!"

When Ling Juan saw Jiang Chuan arrive with the landlady, her expression immediately improved. She was truly fortunate to have found a helper; otherwise, this ghost-faced plague mutant would have been a real handful.

"Hahaha, your death is near."

The landlady was emotional from the moment she appeared on stage; she was practically an upgraded version of Jiang Chuan, with so much nonsense and opening remarks.

"You old fat woman, I won't eat something so ugly."

The Ghostface Plague mutant even pretended to be disgusted, which suggests that he must have been a trash-talking expert in his past life, perhaps even a keyboard warrior who only knew how to attack the other person's sore spots.

The landlady's expression changed at this moment; her face turned purple. Normally, when she practiced her kung fu, her face was red. Now, her face was purple, which meant she had just been enraged by the Ghost Face Plague mutant.

Jiang Chuan realized that this ghost-faced plague mutant would definitely be held responsible for what he said, because he couldn't stop the hot-tempered landlady.

"you wanna die!"

A series of piercing sounds pierced the sky. Although they weren't aimed at Jiang Chuan and Ling Juan, they still disturbed them. Jiang Chuan and Ling Juan covered their ears and moved away from the place. However, the Ghost Face Plague mutant wasn't so lucky. The Landlady's skill could restrain the opponent's movements. If the opponent was strong, they could dodge it, but if they were restrained, it would be really unpleasant.

"I don't know what's going on. Landladys these days are really strong. Even I couldn't withstand that Lion's Roar. What's going on?"

Jiang Chuan looked at Ling Juan, who was completely bewildered. He was equally bewildered; he had no idea that the landlady had such a bad temper. It seemed he would have to let Ling Juan learn more about the landlady in a while.

The Plague Mutant was completely terrified. He had never seen such a powerful sonic attack. Even the sound waves of a bat could interfere with his movement, let alone such a powerful sonic attack. Seeing the Plague Mutant trying to escape, the Landlady's face turned from purple to blue. It seemed she was determined to completely cripple the Plague Mutant. She remembered meeting a formidable opponent back in the day.

The two fought countless rounds, until finally the landlady couldn't take it anymore, her face turning purple, and she yelled at her opponent until he was like a fool. Now, someone had actually forced her to turn her face blue. It seems that once the blue color appears, it means either death or serious injury.

"Lion's Roar! Kung Fu!"

A large, blood-red lion spewed from the mouth of the blue-faced creature and charged towards the Plague Mutant. The mutant, no longer displaying his arrogant boasting, cried out for help, desperately trying to leave but unable to move.

"No! No! I surrender! I know where that woman is."

"It's no use. Killing you will reveal everything."

The moment the Lion's Roar was unleashed, the face of the Ghost-Faced Plague went numb, and then in the next instant, it vanished into thin air, turning into a wisp of gas and flying away.

"Should we even continue pursuing them?!"

"No need. It seems he will never come looking for trouble again. Let's go find Qing Yinyan now! I can sense her life force nearby."

After listening, he felt that it made perfect sense. Moreover, Ling Juan's life perception ability far exceeded that of ordinary people. Wherever there was life, he could probably figure it out.

Watching the landlady's pale face slowly return to normal, Jiang Chuan gently walked over, patted her shoulder, and told her to relax.

"Relax, relax, don't be angry. The danger has passed, we are safe now."

"What! We're safe!"

The landlady slowly came to her senses, her bewildered look disappearing; it seemed she had truly angered her.

She opened her eyes and looked at Jiang Chuan.

"What just happened! Yes, that person just insulted me, and I think I got angry and hit him hard. Are you alright?"

"It's okay, that person was a bad guy, you chased him away, don't be afraid, here's some rub for you."

Seeing that the surroundings had returned to their usual tranquility, everyone looked much better, and Ling Juan could already sense Qing Yinyan's aura all around, which was becoming increasingly heavy.

"Look, isn't that Qing Yinyan!"

At this moment, a trembling figure came over. It was Qing Yinyan. She was still able to move. Everyone had thought that the Ghost Face Plague mutant had subdued her and hidden her through some means. It seemed that they just hadn't found her yet.

Jiang Chuan flew to Qing Yinyan's side and gently placed his hand on her body, afraid that something might happen to her. Qing Yinyan also felt as if she had grasped a lifeline. Seeing one of the people she trusted most by her side, she hurriedly helped her up.

"I'm here with you, don't be afraid, I'm Jiang Chuan."

Jiang Chuan supported Qing Yinyan, who had exhausted her last bit of strength and lay in Jiang Chuan's arms, the sword in her hand falling to the ground.

"Finally... I've finally met you all."

Hearing this, Jiang Chuan was relieved. It seemed that she was alright. Jiang Chuan carefully examined Qing Yinyan's external injuries and confirmed that there were no fatal wounds or the spread of poison. So he took her back to the sect.

In Jiang Chuan's room, Qing Yinyan was lying on the bed resting quietly. She had been lying there for a day and a night, but there was still no sign of her waking up. They had also invited a highly skilled Taoist priest from Maoshan to observe her condition.

Having confirmed that there was nothing seriously wrong, Jiang Chuan felt relieved and went to study the dragon egg with the others.

The dragon egg is now like a living thing, absorbing the power of dragons everywhere. For example, Jiang Chuan's Dragon Roar Sword is of the dragon attribute, so the dragon egg often flies to Jiang Chuan's side and attaches itself to him, constantly absorbing the energy of Jiang Chuan's Dragon Roar Sword. Only when there is enough energy will it move away slightly.

"This dragon egg is really interesting. It's been following me around. If it hatches successfully, it'll stick to us forever."

"Jiang Chuan, why don't we go to Dragon Valley now? The dragons there should be stronger, which will definitely help the dragon egg recover."

Jiang Chuan nodded, but his expression was still not good. He wanted to go to Dragon Valley after Qing Yinyan woke up, or take Qing Yinyan with him, because Qing City was now being protected by the landlady.

The landlady is now capable of handling things on her own. The reason she was initially assigned to support wasn't just because of her attack style, but because her skills weren't up to par. Now that Ling Juan has recognized her abilities, as long as she's paired with a teammate, defending Qing City won't be a problem.

Ling Juan saw through Jiang Chuan's intentions, so she calmly spoke to him.

“Since that’s what you think, brother, as your brother, I must support you. We’ll discuss it again after Qing Yinyan wakes up, so for now, let the dragon egg stay with you.”

After saying that, Ling Juan looked at the other party with a smile, afraid that the other party would say something, so she quickly ran away. Jiang Chuan was at a loss, and this was a heavy responsibility left to him.

The dragon egg's absorption capacity wasn't strong, but what was terrifying was its relentless absorption. Jiang Chuan's body was constantly being absorbed, leaving him extremely weak, a weakness that he couldn't seem to recover from no matter what he tried.

About a day later, Qing Yinyan finally woke up, and the first thing she wanted to do after waking up was to drink water.

"Water, I want to drink water!"

Jiang Chuan was sleeping right next to her. When he heard Qing Yinyan make a sound, he quickly got up to pour her some water, afraid of delaying her too much.

"Plop, pluck! Jiang Chuan, what are you doing here? Where am I?"

"This is my bedroom, don't worry! I've already chased away the Ghost Face Plague mutant."

Jiang Chuan was extremely excited, and he could hardly speak. He was about to get food for Qing Yinyan when he was stopped. It seemed that Qing Yinyan had many questions.

"How did you manage to beat him? He's so strong. I remember I kept trying to cut him with my ice sword, but he kept stopping me."

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Chuan quickly told her to lie down and not get so agitated. It was obvious that she was exhausted, and that's when she was exhausted, the other party found a weakness and she passed out.

It seems that the ghoul plague mutant has eaten its fill and is no longer eating people indiscriminately, so Qing Yinyan can be said to be extremely lucky, incredibly lucky, as she was not eaten by it.

Qing Yinyan had fallen asleep again, looking extremely tired. Jiang Chuan was very excited and told the servants to prepare food, to wake Qing Yinyan up for dinner later. (End of Chapter)
