Liu Ying, who had been raped by bandits a few years ago, knew better than other girls what it was. She was so embarrassed by this unfamiliar black-faced cultivator that she couldn't speak.
Ye Kong didn't have time to deal with her. When he grabbed her wrist, he let a strand of corpse poison enter his body. He was trying to sense it.
He wanted to use immortal energy to eliminate the corpse poison, but immortal energy didn't listen to him at all. It wasn't until the corpse poison approached his Zifu that the spiritual vortex in his Qi Sea suddenly spun faster and absorbed the corpse poison.
Just like last time, the corpse poison instantly disappeared when it encountered immortal energy, like snowflakes falling from the sun on a hot day.
Ye Kong retracted his gaze from his body and asked, "Miss Liu Ying, what's the situation?"
"Ah?" Liu Ying was still distracted by the strange man's thing. She collected her thoughts and lowered her head. "You … How did you know I'm called Liu Ying?"
Ye Kong wanted to vomit blood. Alas, this little girl was really in the mood to ask these boring questions at this critical moment.
"I heard it from your Martial Uncle Li Wei … Miss Liu Ying, the situation is unclear right now. Tell me about it first."
Liu Ying seemed to wake up after Ye Kong's urging. She hurriedly said, "There was a plague in the mining village. The clan elders thought that this is our Huangzhou's territory, so it should be our Wan clan to investigate and eliminate the evildoers. That's why they ordered us to come here and find out what's going on."
Ye Kong sneered. It sounded nice, but in the end, it was still a thousand-year-old refined iron. If there was no reward, would your elders send people here?
Liu Ying continued, "When we came here, Martial Uncle Wan Yang guessed that the ancient corpses in the mine had been accumulating for a long time and had absorbed the metal spiritual energy from the refined iron, resulting in zombies. Therefore, he and Martial Uncle Li Wei came down to investigate. My cultivation level was low, so I stayed behind to provide support …"
Ye Kong nodded. "That Wan Yang is a Foundation Establishment Enlightened Master after all. He has some knowledge and came to take a look."
Liu Ying nodded. "Martial Uncle Wan Yang said that he killed zombies before, so it shouldn't be difficult and should be back soon. But after waiting for a few hours, the two of them didn't come up. I was so anxious that I came down to check, but I didn't expect to get lost the moment I entered the mine. While I was panicking, I saw countless zombies crawling out of the ground behind me … "
Speaking of this, Liu Ying's eyes revealed a look of fear. After all, all girls were afraid of these things. She continued, "The water in those zombies seemed to have been sucked away, and they were all shriveled up like mummies. I was afraid, so I attacked with my flying sword. Unexpectedly, their bodies were like steel. My flying sword hit them many times, but they were not injured at all."
Ye Kong looked at her flying sword and said, "These zombies don't have any means of attack. They just rely on the strength of their bodies. Although your flying sword is a middle-grade flying sword, your cultivation level isn't high enough, so you can't fully use your magic power. This is normal."
Liu Ying also knew that her magic power wasn't enough. She blushed and said, "I thought so too, so I used the Firebird Spell to attack … Although the attack was effective, those zombies that lost their arms and legs didn't die. They crawled towards me with their teeth bared. I didn't have two Firebird Spells, so I could only fight and retreat. On the way, I encountered many zombies, but they moved slowly. I ran all the way here and set up an Illusory Formation to hide from those zombies."
Ye Kong shook his head and said with a smile, "I don't think you hid from the zombies. Your Illusory Formation is really low quality. Even ordinary mortals can see through it."
"Ah!" Liu Ying immediately opened her small mouth. She then lowered her head and said, "I just started learning formations …"
Ye Kong continued, "I'm afraid those zombies are controlled by someone. They forced you to come to this place of death and wait for the corpse refiner to catch you."
"Ah!" Liu Ying opened her small mouth again. The panic in her eyes was clearly visible.
But then, to Ye Kong's surprise, this weak girl said, "I came here with my martial uncles. If we can't go back together, then we have to stay together!" She then said to Ye Kong, "Senior, I still don't know your great name, but I want to ask you to help me report this to Huang Province's Wan Clan and ask the clan's elders to come forward and solve this problem. Wan Yang and Li Wei are both Foundation Building masters. I'm afraid they're in danger right now … It seems these zombies aren't naturally formed. There must be a ruthless person controlling them. Only the clan's Core Formation elders can come forward and solve this problem."
Ye Kong didn't expect this little girl to be so strong-willed at such a crucial moment. He nodded and said, "Miss Liu Ying, first of all, I want to tell you that my name is Li Heizi. Second, I want to remind you that even your two Foundation Building martial uncles can't defeat these zombies. You're just a cultivator in the fifth layer of the Aura Refining realm. Why don't you come with me? You can go back and report this yourself."
When Liu Ying heard this person's words of retreat, she recalled what Li Wei said before and felt disdain in her heart. However, she also thought that no matter what, this matter had nothing to do with him. Him being willing to go with her was already very benevolent of him.
"Senior Li, my clan's martial uncles are still in danger. I can't go back alone. In the past, it was a senior cultivator who saved me from danger. If it wasn't for that cultivator, I wouldn't be where I am today! I've always regarded that senior cultivator as my role model. If that cultivator was in this kind of situation, he definitely wouldn't cower. Therefore, I absolutely won't abandon my martial uncles! " After Liu Ying finished speaking, she kowtowed three times to Ye Kong then took out a small black bag and said, "Senior Li, this is all my savings. It's a total of 120 spirit stones. Take it as the fee for delivering the letter. Thank you again, Senior Li!"
Liu Ying kowtowed three more times then put down the small black bag. She then picked up her flying sword and walked away.
"This little girl is actually quite a hoodlum." Ye Kong hastily grabbed her sleeve, picked up the spirit stones and threw them at her. He sneered and said, "Hey, little female cultivator! Is 120 spirit stones a lot? You want a Foundation Building cultivator to run thousands of miles for you? Do you think I, Li Heizi, am someone who lacks spirit stones? "After he finished speaking, he actually took out a few black bags that contained a lot of spirit stones.
Liu Ying's pretty face blushed. She also knew that the spirit stones she had were nothing to him. She could only say, "I don't have anything valuable on me. Apart from these spirit stones, I only have this middle-grade flying sword. However, this flying sword needs to be used in battle …"
"Hey, although you don't have money, you have people." Ye Kong couldn't help but tease her. "Why don't you repay me with your body? Maybe this Dao Master will be blinded for a moment and agree."
When Liu Ying heard this, she immediately became furious. This black-faced cultivator was really shameless! He actually made such a request!
"Senior Li, since you don't agree, then forget it. Just pretend I didn't say anything!" After Liu Ying finished speaking, she flung her sleeve and walked towards the fork in the road.
