Xi Mo nodded, and just as he was about to walk forward, he suddenly paused for a moment and turned to look at Yun Nian.

“What’s wrong?” Yun Nian asked when she saw him like this.

The emotions in Xi Mo’s eyes were unusually complex. At this moment, he looked at Yun Nian, then at the long blade in her hand, pursed his lips, and then said, “It’s nothing, I just wanted to tell you that the wanghen blade... has recognized you as its master.”

If it were an ordinary Spiritual Artifact, his reaction would certainly not be so strange, but when the Xi Family acquired this wanghen blade, they had all the Disciples of the entire Clan try it, and the result was that no one could become the master of the wanghen blade, because this blade was not suitable for Dao Cultivators.

The wanghen blade was refined by a Buddhist Cultivator who became a demon, using blood as a guide. It is fated with Buddhism and fated with demons. Dao Cultivators are naturally difficult to control it. However, Buddhist Cultivators cannot use this blade, fearing that its demonic nature would disrupt their Merit, and demonic cultivators cannot use this blade, fearing that its Buddhist nature would harm their Foundation.

But why Yun Nian?

Neither Buddhist nor demonic, yet recognized by the wanghen blade.

It was just like before, a Blade Cultivator, yet taken as a Last Disciple by a Sword Immortal.

What secrets are hidden within this seemingly ordinary Little Girl... After hearing Xi Mo’s words, Yun Nian merely nodded faintly and went to find a horde of zombies that could cover her scent.

The Red-Haired Zombie had already caught up.

Hidden by the zombie horde, the two finally escaped the Red-Haired Zombie’s pursuit. At the same time, the sky also brightened.

The Inn became lively, and the dead people all “woke up,” preparing to start a new day’s life.

Yun Nian and Xi Mo had already left the zombie horde and returned to their room.

On Xi Mo’s neck was a deep black mark, the result of being corroded by corpse qi earlier. No matter what method was used, this mark could not be removed.

Seeing this, Yun Nian placed the wanghen blade against Xi Mo’s neck.

Xi Mo was startled and vigilantly looked at Yun Nian: “What are you doing?”

“This blade has Buddhist nature, perhaps it can suppress the corpse qi in your body,” Yun Nian said with a serious expression.

Hearing this, Xi Mo’s brows furrowed tightly. He slowly closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, saying, “I think you want to chop me.”

As his voice fell, seeing that Yun Nian still had the blade against his neck, Xi Mo immediately knocked it away.

“Then what should we do now? corpse qi invading the body is not a good thing,” Yun Nian said as she put away the wanghen blade.

Xi Mo slowly opened his eyes. Although he had endured the pain during this time, the bulging veins on his forehead still showed the severity of his condition.

“I’ll first heal all the injuries on my body and see if I can expel the corpse qi.” Xi Mo paused, then looked at Yun Nian again: “Aren’t your injuries serious?”

Hearing this, Yun Nian’s eyes flickered: “I’m used to it. I’ll be fine after eating something.”

Xi Mo was stunned, then flipped his hand and took out all the Fasting Pills on his person.

“I wonder if these are enough for you.”

Yun Nian looked up at him, then let out a light laugh, putting away all the Fasting Pills. She said indifferently, “While it’s daytime, let’s both heal our bodies well. Who knows what strange things will happen tonight.”

Xi Mo had never seen Yun Nian smile before. Although it was only for a brief moment, he felt in his heart that she was no longer as annoying as before.

Yun Nian put away the Fasting Pills and turned to leave the room, walking towards her own room. In fact, these Fasting Pills were just made from some Spirit Herbs, able to fill one’s stomach and maintain physical strength. Although they had some use for Yun Nian, it wasn’t much, but they were still indispensable at a time like this.

When she was recovering her body, if she got hungry, she would eat a bottle.

Just as Yun Nian was walking along the corridor, juggling a bottle of Fasting Pills, her gaze suddenly caught sight of the Shop Assistant running around on the first floor of the Inn.

Yun Nian’s steps immediately stopped as she recalled what happened last night.

Last night, while killing those Green-Haired Zombies, she had a moment of distracted. It was Xi Mo who noticed and came to save her once. Her distracted was because the Green-Haired Zombie standing in front of her at that time clearly looked like this Shop Assistant.

And just yesterday, she had cut this zombie in half at the waist.

So this Shop Assistant shouldn’t be here now... Just as Yun Nian was staring at the Shop Assistant, as if sensing her gaze, the Shop Assistant below suddenly looked up in Yun Nian’s direction, his eyes curved, revealing that same stiff, fake smile from yesterday.

Yun Nian withdrew her gaze and continued walking towards her room, but her mind was in a state of confusion.

If the thing that isolated them from the outside world was a Formation, then it meant that there must be a powerful Formation Master hidden in this City of the Dead. And the zombie horde yesterday was enough to show that there might also be a Corpse Refiner here. However, the fact that the zombies cut down yesterday were now perfectly intact and appearing here again made no sense.

One of these must be wrong.

If the zombie tide they experienced yesterday was real, then everything happening in the Inn now might be an illusion created by a Formation.

But if what’s happening in the Inn is real, then the zombie horde discovered at the city gate yesterday was caused by an illusion.

What can be confirmed now is that the Formation must exist and is extremely powerful. She and Xi Mo naturally cannot break it, so they can only wait for external rescue. But if there is also a Corpse Refiner in this City of the Dead, then it will be troublesome.

What is the purpose of the mastermind behind all of this?

As soon as she pushed open the door, Yun Nian’s eyes suddenly moved.

She remembered what Xi Mo said yesterday.

He had seen the previous Formation Master in this Inn.

Not much time passed between those Formation Masters separating from them and encountering them again in this Inn yesterday. So how did they die? Why did they die within this Inn? And from yesterday until now, the “people” in this Inn have never harmed them.

Thinking of this, Yun Nian’s heart suddenly trembled. She had a strange feeling, as if a pair of eyes were watching her from the shadows.

“Hahahahaha...” In front of the light screen, the man turned to look at the Red-Haired Zombie behind him, which had lost half an arm, and slowly said, “It seems this Little Girl has some skill. It makes me even more curious.”

The man waved his hand, and the scene in the light screen immediately changed.

Inside the City of the Dead, dozens of Formation Masters wearing Sect uniforms gathered together, discussing how to break the Formation.

The man narrowed his left eye and looked at the Purple-Robed Elder, who sat aside, resembling an Immortal, lost in thought.

His gaze slowly moved down, looking at the sword tucked into his waist.

“Even the shattering star sword is here. It seems my plan can’t be delayed any longer,” the man gritted his teeth and turned to look at the Red-Haired Zombie behind him, “Go kill that boy. I want him to be the Corpse King’s first sacrifice!”
