In order to eat, I signed a contract with the system

The Maoshan ancestral temple, elders of all major sects, and Taoist priests have all arrived. Among them, the most powerful ones are from Quanzhen Sect, Longhu Mountain and other sects that are as famous as Maoshan Taoism. In addition, many sects that are friendly with Maoshan, such as Mayi Sect, Zhengyi Sect, Lingbao Sect, etc., have also sent a lot of people.

During this period, Uncle Jiu would hold a ritual every few days to contact the ancestral temple. On the one hand, it was to pass on the news that Ruyi had discovered to the ancestral temple, and on the other hand, he wanted to urge everyone in the ancestral temple to come as soon as possible.

It has to be said that Uncle Jiu's approach was effective. The major sects, which originally had to exchange pleasantries and discuss who would be the leader before they could set off, realized the seriousness of the matter after Maoshan presented the latest progress of the investigation. At this point, everyone's selfish desire to make a name for themselves and fight for a position in their own sect would be replaced by the righteousness of fighting against good and evil for a lifetime.

After confirming the authenticity of the news, all the sects began to prepare to go to Bai Niao Town. Some of the sects that received the message from Maoshan were still far away and had not arrived yet, so Maoshan left some core disciples behind to wait for the later people, and the rest of the people all went to Bai Niao Town together.

The grand journey of hundreds of Taoist priests soon aroused people's curiosity. The ghosts and monsters encountered along the way sensed the danger from afar and disappeared in an instant, not even daring to show their heads. For a time, the number of ghosts and zombies in the whole south decreased sharply.

Ruyi has been hiding in the mountains for half a month. During this half month, she has eliminated five green zombie teams and two hairy zombie teams. Her cultivation level of absorption and transformation has been rising rapidly. In a blink of an eye, she has become a peak of the late Heavenly Master. However, she has been fighting, meditating, absorbing, upgrading, and fighting in a cycle. Her spirit has been tense and she cannot relax. After a long time, she began to feel a little overwhelmed.

"I can't take it anymore. I have to rest for a while. If I continue like this, I will die suddenly."

Although she didn't know whether the Taoist priest would die suddenly, Ruyi felt that her current condition was not far from sudden death. Her mental strength was always tense without any relief. The efficiency of absorbing and transforming the zombies' Yin Qi became lower and lower. She couldn't go on like this.

"It's a pity that even after killing so many zombies, we still couldn't lure the big fish out of the cave!"

Ruyi didn't expect that the Zombie King in the cave was so patient. In just over ten days, she killed so many of his men. She thought she would lure him out to see what was going on, but she didn't expect that the Zombie King had no reaction at all.

Ruyi originally wanted to find an opportunity to enter the cave and find out what was going on, but one time when he was close to the cave, he somehow released his spiritual sense to explore it. The result was that he didn't know until he explored it, and he was shocked.

The so-called cave is not a cave at all, but a huge grotto, so big that it almost hollowed out the entire mountain. The routes inside the cave are complicated and it is eerie and terrifying. The concentration of yin energy is so thick that when Ruyi's mental power probed in, it was like entering a fog and could not see clearly at all.

But she didn't need to see too clearly. Just a moment of exploration was enough for Ruyi to realize the danger of the cave. She wanted to tell Uncle Jiu and the other two about it, but after thinking about it, she decided not to say it.

Now, it has no effect except making them worry and scared. The most urgent thing is to find a way to figure out what the "thing" behind the zombies is.

Ruyi stopped to rest and did not attack the zombies that were patrolling that day. After the zombie team that went out for patrol that day returned to the cave intact, he instantly detonated the entire cave.

"Hohoho! That zombie-eating female devil is finally gone!"

"Great, we're finally leaving. We can finally go out."

"I want to suck blood, I want to suck the moon, I haven't been out for a long time!"

"That woman is so scary. Whenever I encounter her, I'm either demoted or seriously injured. I don't even dare to go on patrol anymore."

The zombies roared in celebration, all happy that Ruyi had finally left. At first, the zombies were just wondering why patrolling zombies kept disappearing one by one, never returning. Later, a zombie managed to escape from Ruyi and told the others about her existence.

Although no one knows why the Zombie King insisted on arranging his zombies to patrol even though he knew Ruyi was hunting zombies, this was the order of the Zombie King. Even if the zombies were afraid or unwilling, they had no way to refuse and could only go out on patrol honestly.

Ruyi had initially suspected there might be some conspiracy involved, but ultimately, improving her cultivation was more important. Ruyi carefully explored for two days, and when she didn't see any traps, she gradually relaxed her efforts.

Now that Ruyi has stopped and left to rest, the zombies all think she has left completely. Only the Zombie King has an unclear expression. He sits high in front of a group of zombies, his eyes full of boredom, looking at the army of zombies in the cave as if he is looking at a group of pitiful monkeys, without a trace of emotion at all.

To the Zombie King, these zombies were just tools he made casually to experiment with and create his own kind of subjects. They were not of the same kind as himself at all.

Most of the zombies in the cave are of low level, mentally confused, and have no ability to think. They act on instinct like wild beasts, so there is no need to pay attention to them. The reason why there are so many of them here is simply because they have not been driven away.

Except for a few high-level zombies with thinking ability, the other zombies are like ants at the feet in the eyes of the Zombie King. No matter how many of them die, he doesn't care at all.

Ruyi made the right choice not to risk entering the cave. In addition to the Zombie King, there was also an incorruptible bone and three flying zombies in the entire cave. If the Zombie King in Tengteng Town was included, there were four flying zombies. The reason why the Zombie King recruited the Zombie King was because of his level.

"I don't know how many of these zombies can transform into my kind." The Zombie King has been wandering in the human world for a long time. He couldn't help feeling lonely after a long time. He was originally sleeping well in this cave, but was awakened by a group of bandits. He turned all the bandits who woke him up into zombies, but unexpectedly found that there was a zombie among these zombies that could communicate with him normally.

From then on, the Zombie King became interested. He wanted to see if there could be another zombie in the world that looked like a human being, could think, and could disguise itself as a human being. So he began to order the bandit zombies to bring back more people.

As a result, after so long of experimenting, there was no second zombie that could communicate with him normally. The Zombie King had no choice but to decide to experiment with zombies. Starting with the purple zombies, he let them devour each other little by little and evolve into high-level zombies. In the process of transforming zombies, he happened to meet the Zombie King who came out of Tengteng Town. The Zombie King, who was eager to find talents, recruited him and personally brought all the remaining zombies in Tengteng Town out.
