There was a forbidden ground outside Luoyang that was publicly acknowledged by the players!
A mass grave …
In the chaotic, damp, and incredibly ghastly graveyard, will-o '-the-wisps swayed. Regardless of whether it was day or night, zombies dressed in black official robes and wearing round hats wandered about the graveyard. They had their arms raised horizontally, and their terrifying faces were savage and lifeless, but their movements were agile. With a bend of their knees and a spring, they could jump dozens of feet forward. When they landed, a shallow pit would be left behind. Their movements made them look like clumsy martial artists.
This was the territory of Corpse Sect, which was as famous as Heaven's Secret Valley, the strongest sect in the righteous path. They were the strongest puppet sect in the evil path, and they relied on capturing the corpses of all sorts of martial artists to create zombies whose combat abilities did not lose to the puppets in Heaven's Secret Valley.
These zombies had become famous in World of Martial Arts many years ago!
Corpse Sect used a secret technique to preserve each of them so that they were in perfect condition. They maintained their bodies and bones when they were alive! A certain amount of fighting instincts remained in their bodies, and they could execute some of the fighting techniques they learned when they were alive.
What was even more terrifying was that …
Corpse Sect poured some copper oil on the surface of the corpses. Once they were soaked in it, the strength of their bodies could compare to a normal masterpiece, and normal weapons would have a hard time injuring them.
Besides, the zombies themselves had skills that did not lose to Mystical Realm martial artists. As of then, the players and guilds did not dare to get close to the mass grave. However, since World of Martial Arts was launched, there had been plenty of players who had entered the mass grave recklessly. They were hunted down by the zombies without hesitation, and their corpses were tossed into the mass grave.
The fearsome name of the mass grave spread out because of that.
But on that day …
However, the mass grave welcomed a guest.
He had dashing eyebrows, bright eyes, and fluttering blue robes. With a few agile jumps, he treated the ghastly graveyard as if it was nothing. He entered the depths of the mass grave without any trouble, causing the people who followed him from the distance to look at each other at a loss. They nearly bit off their tongues!
"…"
"What should we do?"
"Damn it, he knows that we're behind him!"
"Nonsense, if he wants to shake us off, why don't he just turn around and kill us? Do you think that we're harder to deal with than the zombies in the mass grave?" The people gathered together and discussed the matter.
"Then what now?"
"There's no other way. We definitely can't enter the mass grave. You guys stay here and guard. I'll send a letter to the gang leader and let him decide." One of them sighed and quickly wrote a letter, which was then sent away by pigeon.
The others looked at the thick miasma in front of them, the tombstones bulging, and the black shadows moving through the fog. Their scalps couldn't help but stand on end.
"This guy is crazy."
No human would do such a crazy thing to appear in a group of Mystical Realm zombies. The group quickly came to a conclusion about the blue-robed young man.
To be honest …
From the moment they accepted the mission until now, they still didn't know the other party's identity. They only knew that they had to follow this guy and see clearly where he was going and what he was doing.
After a while, the carrier pigeon returned.
The person who received the letter slowly turned around.
"Boss said we can leave now."
"Ugh, isn't that a waste of effort?"
"What else do you want?" Although the few of them said that, in truth, there was a little bit of expectation in their hearts.
The mass grave was a forbidden area!
The more dangerous a place was, the more attractive it was to players.
Of course, most rational people would not choose to step into places that were too dangerous, especially the minefield in front of them that was filled with mines.
But what they did not know was that the person who entered the mass grave, an important place for Corpse Sect, was Happy, the person who was ranked third on the Famous People Rank and had been discussed by countless players recently!
Happy had done a few major things in a row. The temple was bathed in blood, he fought against Class One Hall at Punishment Mount, and he broke out multiple times to obtain the title of Killer Star. He had even discovered a way to deal with diviners. Many players claimed that not only had Happy's fame completely surpassed that of the hall master of Class One Hall, even Quicksword Xiao San and North Placating Duke had lost their luster!
But the Famous People Rank did not take any action, and Happy remained at the third place on the Famous People Rank.
If that was the case …
A dispute arose.
But Happy knew nothing about it, and he would not care about it.
He was still gloomy about how his momentary slip of the tongue had brought him so much trouble and responsibility …
Even though he tried his best to smooth things over, the Three Lonely Wolves still gave him a quest to hand in at least one high-tier martial art manual every day. They even said that it was to strengthen Beautiful Robes Faction's strength and increase the fame and influence of South China Martial Arts Ranking Board!
Fortunately, the quest for one manual was not too heavy.
Besides …
In truth, before this, he had already thought about getting high-tier martial art manuals for a while. He wanted to earn a lot of money while there was a huge shortage of high-tier martial art manuals, so that his return to the past would not have been in vain.
However …
There might be a lot of points for high-tier martial art manuals, but he did not know a lot about high-tier martial arts that could be learned by those in Blessed Realm. He only had a slight impression of some of the more famous ones.
Happy had come to Luoyang once before. He had been attracted by the fame of Corpse Sect's mass grave and trained there for a period of time. He knew that there was a poison palm technique called Thousand Corpse Hands, and it was pretty good. There was also a certain chance that the high-tier martial art that corresponded to it would drop — Ten Thousand Poisonous Palms!
Ten Thousand Poisonous Palms might be an unorthodox martial art, but it could release a gust of wind that could make a person nauseous and dizzy in close-quarters combat. Those without experience would easily fall for it, and its damage was extraordinary. It was a pretty good high-tier martial art for those in Blessed Realm.
As for the zombies, their combat strength was not greater than that of Mystical Realm monks who had broken their Buddhist vows. Aside from their fearless fighting style, which was rather troublesome, they also had poison techniques.
Happy had brought a lot of antidote pills with him, and he had come prepared.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
But to his surprise, not long after he entered the mass grave, two sounds of air being sliced came from ahead of him. Two zombies dressed in gray and coarse clothes jumped out from behind the graves. Their faces were shriveled, and they looked terrifying. They pounced on Happy at the speed of lightning.
"…"
Happy was alarmed!
But he did not panic. He stopped charging forward, and the saber glare on his Hundred-battle Saber grew even brighter! The dark blue saber glare instantly swept past the two zombies' bodies.
Bang! Bang!
A solid crash rose, and the two zombies in gray robes were sent flying by Happy's hasty slash.
When he saw that the danger was over, Happy was not happy, but shocked! He bent his knees and resolutely jumped a few feet back. He looked around with a solemn expression, and he became even more wary!
He shouted in a low voice.
"Who is it?! Come out! "
He had been puzzled just now.
He remembered that there were no zombies in front of him. Why did these two zombies suddenly appear there, and they even looked like they had been lying in ambush?
What was even stranger was that with his usual strength of Flowering Knights' Song, which was at the tenth realm of Blessed Realm, if he truly ran into the zombies in the mass grave, he could at most force them to land on the ground. He would not be able to easily send them flying a few feet away.
These were not zombies with the strength of Mystical Realm, but secondary Blessed Realm zombies!
These zombies were different from the zombies that were born in the mass grave. They were zombie puppets controlled by players and were just weapons that moved according to their controller's will!
