Ling Feng remained unmoved by the man's kowtowing and grateful gestures.
He merely raised his hand slightly, and the man's body was lifted by an invisible force.
The man dared not meet Ling Feng's gaze.
This man was simply too powerful.
With a casual move, he had managed to revitalize the man's body.
This person was undoubtedly a terrifying existence, akin to the Corpse King.
"There's no need to thank me. I only need to know some information about the Corpse King, his whereabouts, or rather, how many of you there are, and what your true objective is?"
Ling Feng asked calmly.
Although his tone was exceedingly placid, to the man opposite him, it was the epitome of dominance.
Without the slightest hesitation, the man responded directly!
"I don't know his whereabouts, nor do I know the exact number of Corpse Demons. I only know that he ordered us to turn everyone into walking corpses. All the walking corpses will obey his command, and in time, the entire world will belong to him."
As he spoke the last words, terror filled the man's eyes.
If all humans in this world were to turn into zombies, how terrifying would that be? The entire world would be utterly devastated!
Ling Feng frowned slightly. He had been watching the man's eyes and could confirm that the man was absolutely not lying.
This meant that the Corpse Demons currently released might still be of a relatively low level.
They were not qualified to come into contact with the Corpse King.
This situation could become extremely troublesome.
These relatively low-level Corpse Demons already possessed cultivation equivalent to the Golden Core stage. If all the Corpse Demons were released, the Corpse King's objective might truly be achieved!
However, such worries only flickered in Ling Feng's mind for a moment before he cast them aside.
Based on the current situation, the Corpse King likely knew the gravity of the matter.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed the Corpse Demons to escape, nor would he have allowed them to be captured.
Furthermore, under these circumstances, the Corpse King should be extremely enraged, and should have unleashed all the Corpse Demons to cause chaos.
Yet, he had not done so. It was highly probable that this fellow's strength had not yet accumulated sufficiently!
"He probably only recently awakened."
Ling Feng mused inwardly, then waved his hand at Yang Fei beside him, "Take them down. I've already sent the formula to Zhou Jin. All Corpse Demons can be restored in a short period. Save as many as possible. Also, have all safe zones enter a state of alert. Mobilize the Dark Dragon Guards and prevent the Corpse Demons from finding any opportunities!"
"Yes!"
Yang Fei quickly responded.
The man beside him was stunned for a moment, then bowed repeatedly to Ling Feng, "Thank you, you truly have the heart of a Bodhisattva. We were all turned into something neither human nor ghost, but now, we can finally be human again!"
Ling Feng merely waved his hand. After the others left, Yang Fei returned!
"Heavenly Venerate, all personnel have been dispatched. Based on the current situation, the Corpse King has likely ordered all Corpse Demons to lie low, so there shouldn't be any major movements! However, the Dark Dragon Guards will continue to maintain vigilance!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng shook his head at Yang Fei, "It's not necessarily that they are lying low. It's also possible that he simply doesn't have that many Corpse Demons left to use!"
"Hmm? This Corpse King seems quite sinister. If their first operation failed, there should be a second one."
Yang Fei frowned, voicing his concerns.
"There will definitely be a second attempt, but cultivating these Corpse Demons is not an easy task. I have already examined the bodies of the people you brought. Their physiques are quite special, one in ten thousand. It will take some time for the Corpse King to make a comeback!"
Ling Feng said calmly, a slight curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Yang Fei clearly saw the smile on Ling Feng's face and his eyes lit up, "Heavenly Venerate, you must have a solution, right? You'll definitely be able to find that Corpse King!"
"I have a method, but I don't know if this fellow will take the bait!"
Ling Feng nodded with a smile and then dialed Zhou Jin's number.
"Heavenly Venerate, regarding the physique you mentioned, our system can indeed screen out many such individuals. We have already found two thousand people. In the Kyoto Safe Zone alone, there are over thirty. The previous individuals indeed had the same physique as these people! That is, what you call the Yin Blood Physique. These people are indeed more suitable for being refined into Corpse Demons!"
Zhou Jin reported directly.
Although the phone was not on speaker, Yang Fei could still hear it clearly and couldn't help but gasp.
As expected, Ling Feng had already arranged everything and even found many target individuals!
"Good. Monitor these people. If there's any unusual activity, contact me immediately!"
Ling Feng ordered decisively.
"No problem, hehe. If anyone tries to make a move on them, I'll discover it immediately."
After Zhou Jin hung up, Yang Fei eagerly spoke to Ling Feng.
"Heavenly Venerate, so you're going to use those people as bait to lure the Corpse King out?"
Ling Feng shrugged, appearing noncommittal.
But soon, Ling Feng shook his head, "As I said before, this Corpse King might not fall for it. Moreover, to capture these people, this fellow might not act personally. However, it is quite difficult for these Corpse Demons to take any effective action now. Therefore, whether this method works depends on whether this fellow has enough composure."
Yang Fei nodded, indicating he fully understood Ling Feng's thinking.
Ling Feng's words were perfectly logical. If the Corpse King were that easy to deal with, it would seem somewhat unreasonable.
Indeed, within the next three days, there were no signs of the Corpse King taking the bait.
There were some movements from the Corpse Demons, and these fellows were quite cunning, likely arranged by the Corpse King beforehand.
They specifically targeted some remote safe zones, as well as merchant caravans leaving safe zones and monster hunting teams.
As a result, they actually succeeded a few times.
However, these people who had been turned into walking corpses were apprehended and forcibly detoxified before they could even enter a safe zone!
Therefore, to summarize simply, all the Corpse King's actions were essentially ineffective.
A waste of effort.
And they even lost several Corpse Demons!
As for the target individuals, there were indeed some movements around them, but the tricks used to lure them out of the safe zones were mostly seen through.
However, this way, the Corpse King would likely receive the news and know that these people were being protected.
Therefore, it would be even more impossible for any major movements to occur.
Yang Fei had been monitoring the Corpse King's every move.
He received a lot of information within three days, but none of it was particularly valuable.
This caused Yang Fei significant mental strain, and dark circles appeared under his eyes.
"Heavenly Venerate, if this continues, our Dark Dragon Guards will also become mentally and physically exhausted!"
