"It's a failure."
Nalan Xing stood on the pavilion of the阁楼, looking at Zu Shen below, who seemed to have collapsed, and a cold sneer curved his lips.
As his voice fell, a man shrouded in green mist appeared behind him.
"Should we eliminate him?"
The man's voice was extremely cold.
Nalan Xing casually waved his hand.
"Ling Yan is still by his side; you can't kill him!"
"Oh? You think that living dead will be that powerful?"
The man's voice seemed to carry a hint of disdain, his pair of blood-red eyes fixed on Ling Yan, as if burning with fervent fighting spirit.
"Zu Shen must have placed all his bets on Ling Yan. Even the Eye of the Underworld and the Eye of Reincarnation cannot break the soul-bound, life-bound witchcraft between him and Ling Yan! It seems that Ling Tianci's growth is truly difficult to curb!"
"Ling Tianci!"
The green mist on the man's body began to swell, clearly showing his extreme hatred for Ling Feng!
"Contain your aura. Don't let Zu Shen detect it. This dog is always ready to bite me!"
Nalan Xing suddenly became extremely domineering, his icy eyes unfathomably deep.
"Yes!"
The man vanished as if dissolving into the air with his peculiar green mist.
At this moment, blood was dripping from the corners of Zu Shen's eyes below, making him look terrifyingly ferocious.
"Why?!"
"Ling Feng!"
"How exactly did you snatch away my Zu family's World-Ending Corpse King?!"
The connection between the World-Ending Corpse King and Zu Shen was completely severed. Although Zu Shen could vaguely sense the existence of the World-Ending Corpse King through the altar of the Witch God Hall, it was no longer related to him in any way!
His Zu family's inherited treasure, the most powerful Corpse King!
Lost!
This was undoubtedly something that would drive Zu Shen to despair. He didn't know how he would face his deceased father after his own death!
Enraged!
Zu Shen suddenly turned, his eyes bloodshot as he looked at Ling Yan, who resembled Ling Feng.
He raised a hand, enveloped in black mist, buzzing ominously!
Clearly, he intended to use witchcraft to do something to Ling Yan!
"Is this how you vent your anger?"
Nalan Xing's chilling voice came from behind.
Zu Shen's body trembled violently, and then he dissipated the power he had gathered, bowing respectfully.
"You've seen a laughingstock, Inspector!"
"I don't have time to laugh at you. You've been meticulously targeting Ling Feng, but it seems you've failed so far?"
Nalan Xing sat down, his demeanor calm, showing no trace of anger.
This made Zu Shen feel even more uneasy!
It seemed as if Nalan Xing before him had undergone some peculiar change!
"No! I still have a backup plan! When Ling Feng went to the Witch God Hall, the sky had already darkened. Before he could return to Qinglong Hill, that place will become a zombie paradise!"
Zu Shen's eyes were filled with bloodthirsty madness!
Upon hearing this, Nalan Xing's eyes widened slightly, and he said coldly, "So, you've already deployed the ancient corpses at Qinglong Hill?"
"Only a portion has been deployed, but it's enough to make them completely panic!"
The sense of defeat Zu Shen had just experienced seemed to have completely dissipated. His words were accompanied by a chilling killing intent in his eyes!
His lips also curved slightly.
He had been too impulsive just now.
Indeed, he hadn't completely fallen into a disadvantage yet. After all, the World-Ending Corpse King was never intended to be an absolute trump card from the beginning, merely a sacrifice for the current trump card, Ling Yan!
Or rather, everything was a sacrifice for Ling Yan!
Since that was the case, he would eventually reclaim whatever was lost, so there was no need to get angry!
However, Nalan Xing's expression turned extremely cold!
"Qinglong Hill becoming a zombie paradise? Hmph, Zu Shen, that's not some isolated mountain village with no information. If such a large-scale commotion is leaked, you should know that it won't take two days for terrifying forces to converge there!"
"Zu Shen, you must not underestimate the determination of Dahua to protect its citizens! Even at great cost, they will not allow the lives of their citizens to be trampled upon!"
Zu Shen scoffed inwardly at this, but outwardly, he put on a look of panic, bowing repeatedly.
"Inspector, please rest assured, I have already considered all of this. Please rest assured, the signal sources within a hundred-mile radius of Qinglong Hill have all been cut off, and these zombies only act at night, curling up during the day! They won't have time for anything else besides rescuing people!"
"Moreover, the witchcraft practitioners of Nanyun are merely a group tolerated to exist. If they cause such a huge disturbance, they will be the first to be punished, so these people will not seek help from the outside!"
Nalan Xing finally nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this.
What Zu Shen said was not without reason.
He then added a reminder.
"Remember, to deal with Ling Tianci, we can pay some price, but the bottom line is not to alert the outside world within two days!"
"Once Ling Tianci is buried here, we can do whatever we want!"
Zu Shen's eyes also flashed with excitement!
"Yes!"
...
The sky had completely darkened.
Ling Feng had not been able to return to Qinglong Hill in time, and what surprised him even more was that there was no news from Li Tianjiao.
According to the time, the other party should have already been at Qinglong Hill by now.
But why hadn't he received a call from him after arriving?
This matter seemed somewhat unusual.
However, no matter how urgent, Ling Feng had still dismantled the "altar" of the Witch God Hall and thoroughly understood the profound formation used by the Zu family to summon the World-Ending Corpse King.
He believed that the situation around the ancient corpses at Qinglong Hill would be similar.
Since he had thoroughly understood these things, there were still two days and two nights to break the profound formation.
Once the profound formation was broken, the situation should improve significantly!
"Mr. Ling, thank you for coming to save us!"
The Great Elder, seeing the Witch God Hall restored to its former peace, was filled with emotion and couldn't help but kneel before Ling Feng!
The disciples of the Witch God Hall behind him also knelt down simultaneously!
Ling Feng's expression was calm.
"Everyone, please rise. You will have to rely on yourselves to guard the Witch God Hall well in the coming days!"
"Mr. Ling, please rest assured, and please convey to the Hall Master that we are now prepared and will absolutely not let the previous incident happen again!"
The Great Elder spoke with conviction, and the people behind him also swore oaths!
Only then did Ling Feng nod and depart!
However, a sleeping young boy was now on Ling Feng's shoulder. Even in his sleep, the boy clutched a bone whip!
This was the Corpse Gu Divine Infant from before!
