Sir Song, do you want to pledge yourself to me?

"Ha, you run pretty fast!" Seeing this, the white-haired old man sneered, and then several handfuls of white powder attacked Ji Nuan and Song Jinbai like a storm.

Ji Nuan was quick-witted and quick-handed, grabbing Song Jinbai. The two of them flashed and quickly fled towards a dark entrance beside them.

Seeing this, the old man was not at all panicked. Instead, he let out a strange laugh. The laughter echoed in the empty cave, sounding particularly harsh and weird.

Ji Nuan and Song Jinbai were confused by the sudden laughter, and felt even more uneasy.

Just as they were running away, there was a loud "bang" behind them, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground.

The two were startled and stopped almost at the same time, looking back at the source of the sound.

Outside the iron fence, the old man's smile became more and more ferocious, and the wrinkles on his face were distorted by extreme anger.

"Kill my Academician Wei, and let Academician Wei's companions treat you well!"

Song Jinbai turned to look at Ji Nuan and asked in a deep voice, "What should we do?"

Ji Nuan took a deep breath and muttered softly, "Little Jixiang didn't tell me there were these dangers."

Then, she quickly adjusted herself and said with a smile, "What else can I do? Just face it!"

Before he finished speaking, a sound that made people's teeth ache was heard.

"Be careful!" Song Jinbai suddenly pulled Ji Nuan over and protected her behind him, while he looked ahead vigilantly.

In the darkness, three pairs of red eyes were slowly approaching.

In this pitch-black darkness, this environment is extremely unfavorable for them.

Ji Nuan whispered to Song Jinbai: "Flashlight."

Upon hearing this, Song Jinbai immediately turned on the flashlight.

A beam of strong light instantly broke through the darkness and illuminated the cave.

Three strange figures stood where the light reached. Their faces were ashen, like corpses that had been dead for a long time, without a trace of luster. Their expressions were stiff, their eyes were empty, as if they had lost their souls. Their clothes were tattered, full of traces of time.

Ji Nuan observed these three people carefully and was secretly surprised.

The three of them hadn't even blinked once since the flashlight beam shone on them, which only added to their weirdness.

"They... they are not living people, right?" Ji Nuan lowered her voice and said to Song Jinbai.

Song Jinbai replied in a deep voice, "These are corpses! They are corpses controlled by the Wuman Gu worms and have long since lost their consciousness and souls."

Ji Nuan frowned and recalled, "Weren't they all wiped out back then? How come they appear here again?"

Song Jinbai speculated, "The man who appeared here might also be surnamed Wei, a remnant of the Holy Medical Sect. He's likely been hiding in this cave for so many years, secretly practicing his evil art of creating corpses. These corpses might be his 'masterpieces' over the years."

Before Song Jinbai and Ji Nuan could discuss further, a strange flute sound suddenly rang out, like a death horn, instantly breaking the silence in the cave.

As the flute sounded, the three zombies with strange faces suddenly attacked them as if they had just woken up.

Song Jinbai reacted quickly and raised his sword to meet the attack.

Ji Nuan was not willing to be outdone. She quickly took out her big axe and, with the same momentum as she had used to chop the zombies, chopped at the head of another zombie.

The axe drew a sharp arc in the air, and with a sound of breaking wind, it fell heavily on the head of the corpse.

With a crisp sound, the corpse's head was instantly split in half, and black blood and rotten flesh splattered everywhere.

Sure enough, just like dealing with zombies, beheading is still an effective way to deal with these zombies.

Faced with the two zombies on Song Jinbai's side who seemed to have no sense of pain and remained indifferent no matter how he chopped them, Ji Nuan decisively took over his battle.

Wielding the axe, her movements were swift and precise. Within a few breaths, she had chopped off the heads of the other two corpses one by one.

As the corpse fell to the ground, the cave regained its tranquility for a moment.

Ji Nuan put away the axe, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said thankfully: "Fortunately, they are just ordinary people who don't know any martial arts. They are not that difficult to deal with."

Song Jinbai frowned and speculated, "Could these corpses be the ones eaten by the gods in the legend?"

Ji Nuan's face darkened. She nodded and said in a deep voice, "That's possible. The people of the Holy Doctor Sect are ruthless and have no conscience. They don't hesitate to kill innocent people to achieve their goals. We must eliminate these remnants to prevent them from continuing to harm the world."

"Humph, do you think you can get out alive by hacking away at a few low-level zombies?"

The white-haired old man sneered sarcastically outside the iron fence.

The sound echoed in the empty cave.

Ji Nuan no longer showed any mercy to such a heartless person. She raised her hand gently, and a green vine quickly grew out from her palm. Like a living thing, with sharp thorns, it swiftly attacked the white-haired old man outside the iron fence.

The old man was very good at light work. He flew up and down like a nimble swallow, dodging the attacks of the vines and preventing Ji Nuan's vines from getting close to him.

Seeing this, a cold look flashed in Ji Nuan's eyes. She quickly stretched out her other hand, and another vine grew out from her palm.

The two vines, one on the left and one on the right, intertwined into an impenetrable net, completely blocking the old man's retreat.

Under the close attack of the two vines, the old man was finally unable to escape and was pierced through the abdomen by one of the vines.

He screamed, his body suddenly froze, and then he hung powerlessly on the vine, unable to move. His face was as pale as paper, his eyes wide open, filled with shock and unwillingness.

He spoke with difficulty, his voice trembling with pain: "Wood-type ability! You...you actually have wood-type ability!"

Ji Nuan was slightly startled and showed a hint of surprise.

She didn't expect that the old man could recognize her supernatural attributes, which made her curious about his identity.

"You know?" Ji Nuan asked back, with some curiosity.

The white-haired old man panted, as if he was using up all his strength to answer, "I... of course I know. In another world, the power to control natural elements is called superpowers. And wood superpowers are one of the rarest and most powerful. Who... who are you?"

Ji Nuan didn't answer immediately, but stared at the old man.

"Academician Wei, they should be the same person, right? Let me think... Academician Wei is Wei Shuo, right?"

A hint of astonishment flashed across the white-haired old man's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

He nodded slightly, acknowledging Ji Nuan's guess: "Yes, it was our sect leader, Wei Shuo. His wisdom and talent were unmatched, but it's a pity that he was executed by the emperor of your Dong Chu."

Ji Nuan stared at the old man and continued to ask, "So, the corpse in this cave is your masterpiece?"

The old man didn't deny it: "After Academician Wei passed away, I took over all his records. Over the past few decades, I have only succeeded in these three corpses."

Song Jinbai looked at the lifeless corpses and asked angrily, "Are they villagers from around here?"

The old man nodded again, his movements seeming unusually weak.

Ji Nuan asked the question in her heart: "Who told you about super powers?"

The old man spoke with difficulty, his voice weak but clear: "Kuai...Academician Kui."

Seeing that the old man was in a bad state, Song Jinbai quickly asked about the current situation of the Holy Doctor Sect: "How many people are there in the Holy Doctor Sect now? Where are they?"

The old man gasped and said, "It's gone... It's gone... The Holy Doctor Sect... no longer exists..."

After saying this, his eyes closed and never opened again.
