Emperor Ming rubbed his eyes in disbelief. His expression was as strange as it could be.
The Empyrean Fairy ignored Emperor Ming and didn't communicate with Ding Ning. Her emotions didn't change at all. It was as if holding Ding Ning's hand was a natural thing to do.
However, her pale face gradually began to turn rosy, and the sweat also disappeared without a trace. Even her expression became calm.
Damn it, was this still the Goddess of War? She was like a completely different person.
Emperor Ming knew the Empyrean Fairy very well. Forget holding hands with the opposite sex, even if she accidentally touched them, she would be beaten senseless.
Back then, a Divine King from the immortal world had accidentally touched her shoulder and was beaten to a pulp by this violent woman. He cried and complained to the Immortal Emperor. The result … was even worse.
After being scolded by the Immortal Emperor, the Empyrean Maiden turned around and barged into the mansion of the Godking. She beat him until he had no way out and could only kneel and beg for mercy.
But this vengeful woman wasn't willing to let the matter rest. She set up ninety-nine god-level killing formations outside the Divine King's residence before swaggering off.
The Divine King's entire family was trapped in his residence for thousands of years, not even daring to step out. Otherwise, they would have been killed by the god-level killing formations.
In the end, the Immortal Emperor saw that things had gotten out of hand and humbly apologized to her. He even compensated her with a bunch of benefits before she calmed down and removed the divine formations.
Ever since then, the Immortal Emperor acted like he'd seen a ghost whenever he saw the Empyrean Fairy. He stayed as far away from her as possible. Even when he had no choice but to get close, he would always keep a safe distance from her.
But what was he looking at now?
Surprisingly, the Savage Goddess was not annoyed by Ding Ning's teasing. Instead, she really held his hand like a well-behaved wife, which almost blinded his eyes.
Ding Ning chuckled. It wasn't that they wanted to flaunt their affection in front of Emperor Ming, but he could tell that the Empyrean Fairy had expended too much energy. That was why he pretended to tease her and transfer the energy stored in his body to her to replenish her energy.
Of course, he also felt a little guilty, fearing that the Mysterious Fairy of the Nine Heavens was still angry. But seeing that she was expressionless and took the initiative to hold his hand, he knew that her anger must have subsided long ago.
For the Mysterious Fairy of Nine Heavens, when Ding Ning made those absurd requests, she was mostly shy, and very little angry. When the Holy Mountain exploded, she was worried about his safety, but now seeing him safe and sound, her heart was full of joy, and she didn't care about being angry.
However, she could not understand why Ding Ning was with Ming Di. She was afraid that Ding Ning was under Ming Di's control, which was why he was pretending to be aloof. In reality, he was communicating with Ding Ning telepathically, asking about their feelings after parting.
If they were in the Three Realms, the contents of their voice transmissions would not have escaped Emperor Ming's ears. But here, he no longer had the support of the Thearch Fruit. Even if he was slightly stronger than the Empyrean Fairy, there was still a limit to his strength. He was not worried that Emperor Ming would eavesdrop on them.
Emperor Ming was also speechless. After the two of them held hands, they did not say a word. How could he not see that the two of them had known each other for a long time, and that their relationship was not ordinary? They must have been communicating telepathically.
No matter how much he wanted to know what they were talking about, there was no power of the Heavenly Dao here. He could not eavesdrop even if he wanted to.
"Ah!"
Screams came from behind him. A complicated look flashed across Emperor Ming's eyes, but he did not stop moving.
He knew that as the ice was lifted, the citizens of Tianshui, who had been frozen by him, had just woken up from their slumber when they encountered the zombies. Now, they were facing a calamity.
Fresh meat was an endless temptation to the zombies. All the living creatures of Tianshui were doomed.
However, this was also good. At the very least, it gave them quite a bit of time to escape.
Ding Ning was also well aware of this. Even though he felt extremely unwilling, he also knew that those terrifying zombies were not something he could fight against. He could only turn a deaf ear to it and pretend to know nothing, but he could not help feeling down.
With the support of Ding Ning's energy, the Mysterious Maiden of the Nine Heavens finally had the time to pay attention to other things. When she heard the screams, she could not help but turn her head to look. When she saw the living creatures being eaten up by the zombies, she could not bear to see them die.
After a moment's hesitation, she sighed softly. She knew that she was like a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river. She could not even save herself. She could not save those people, so she could only continue running.
The Demon Emperor, Human Emperor, and Immortal Emperor naturally did not care about those lowly living creatures. In fact, they could not wait for these living creatures to delay the zombies.
But just because they did not care didn't mean that others did not care. Ding Ning suddenly trembled and forced himself to a stop.
"What's wrong?"
The Mysterious Maiden of the Nine Heavens asked anxiously. She was afraid that Ding Ning would be soft-hearted and lose his mind to save those living creatures.
Emperor Ming also frowned at him, not knowing what he was up to.
"I'm going to save them!"
Ding Ning felt helpless, but this was a request from the mermaid who had suddenly woken up. He could not refuse.
"Nonsense, you're courting death!"
Emperor Ming roared angrily. To him, Ding Ning was seeking his own death.
"That's right, don't be silly. It's really not worth it for those strangers."
The Mysterious Maiden of the Nine Heavens' expression also changed as she tried to dissuade him.
Ding Ning looked straight at Emperor Ming and sighed slowly. "This is Yiyi's request. I cannot refuse."
Emperor Ming's expression froze. The anger on his face gradually faded and was replaced with bitterness. "That's right, I cannot refuse either."
"You go first. I'll go save them. I'll be back soon."
Ding Ning let go of the Mysterious Maiden of the Nine Heavens' hand and said resolutely.
"No, we're comrades now. How can I escape alone?"
Seeing that Ding Ning had made up his mind, the Mysterious Maiden of the Nine Heavens did not try to persuade him anymore. Instead, she wanted to stay.
"Don't even think about it. Yiyi is my daughter. How can I ignore her request?"
Emperor Ming straightened his neck and glared at Ding Ning. His stubborn expression was much more pleasing to the eye than before.
"No, I have a way to escape unscathed after saving them. You're just a burden. Hurry up and leave. I'll catch up soon."
Ding Ning looked like he was chasing away beggars. With that, he turned and flew off.
Emperor Ming and the Mysterious Maiden of the Nine Heavens didn't say a word as they chased after him.
The Demon Emperor and the other two were dumbfounded. They watched as the three of them ignored them and flew toward the bloody slaughterhouse where the zombies were.
"What are they trying to do? Don't tell me they want to fight the zombies? "
The Demon Emperor asked in a daze.
"Are they out of their minds?"
The Immortal Emperor said coldly, but his eyes flashed with joy. With these three fools delaying the zombies, they had a better chance of survival.
The Human Emperor narrowed his eyes and said thoughtfully, "How can they fight the zombies? I think they're just trying to save people."
"Because of those ants? Haha, what a joke. "
The Immortal Emperor sneered, but he didn't stop.
"That's good. Someone can help us delay the zombies. That's exactly what we want."
The Demon Emperor raised his eyebrows and laughed sinisterly. He also sped up a little.
The Human Emperor hesitated, but then he remembered that the Kun Peng's origin was waiting for them. It was clear which was more important between saving some non-human beings and the Kun Peng's origin. He gritted his teeth and chased after them.
"I told you not to come, but you insisted on coming. Aren't you just making trouble for me?"
Ding Ning muttered in disdain.
They were mighty beings at the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage, but they were being looked down upon by a mere Connate Stage brat. The Profound Maiden of the Nine Heavens and Emperor Hades were beyond furious. If it weren't for the fact that the current situation didn't allow for it, they would've given him a good beating.
"You guys wait here and prepare to rescue me. Once I save the people, you guys immediately take me and run."
Ding Ning was also depressed. He really felt that they were a burden. Although he was no match for the zombies, he could hide himself and secretly save people.
In the outside world, he might not be able to hide from the zombies. But this was Celestial Water Sky. Although the mermaids hadn't woken up, they could help him hide his presence.
"You …"
Ming Di almost went berserk at his outburst.
"What about you? Even if you save them, do you have the ability to take them away? "
Ding Ning glared at him. Emperor Ming immediately shut up.
If they were in the outside world, he and the Mysterious Maiden of the Nine Heavens could easily create a space to save these people. But this was a place with no nomological laws. They couldn't even tear space apart, let alone create a space.
On the other hand, Ding Ning had the Water Space and the Medicine Spirit Ring that could store living creatures. He also had 720 acupoints. He could take as many people as he saved.
"Then be careful!"
The Mysterious Fairy of Nine Heavens also knew that Ding Ning was telling the truth. She could take back the Nine Revolving Glazed Ice Coffin in Ding Ning's Water Space and create a temporary space, but she knew that she couldn't hide and conceal her aura like Ding Ning could.
"I will. Wait for me. I might need you to help me escape later."
Ding Ning was speaking the truth. Although he had the speed of the Kun Peng, his cultivation was too low. He couldn't even compare to the Mysterious Maiden of the Nine Heavens, much less the zombies.
After finally convincing the Mysterious Maiden of the Nine Heavens and Emperor Ming, Ding Ning didn't dawdle anymore. He stealthily flew toward the palace.
Although the citizens of Tianshui Heaven were not as active as those of other planes, there were still hundreds of millions of them.
It wasn't that no one tried to organize a resistance. But in front of the zombies, who were much stronger than them, they had no way to resist. They could only run in all directions, wailing like ghosts.
However, the zombies were too fast and had a certain level of intelligence. They scattered around and ate whoever ran the fastest, treating this as a feast.
Ding Ning held his breath. His heart pounded like thunder as he inched closer to the zombies.
In the encirclement, they were like a flock of lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Cries, panic, shouts, and roars rang out incessantly.
The creatures of Tianshui Heaven looked like humans, but like the demons, they had some racial characteristics.
For example, clam girls with clamshells on their backs, fish tribe with scales on their gills, cuttlefish tribe with tentacles, turtle tribe with turtle shells …
This was clearly a nest of seafood!
Ding Ning quietly swallowed, but this caused the mermaid to feel embarrassed and angry. He hurriedly apologized through the mental connection.
Ding Ning stealthily blended into the panicking crowd. He knew that it was impossible to save everyone, so he could only fish in troubled waters. He continuously knocked out some seafood … uh, creatures, and put them into the water space.
At this time, gender was very important. Of course, appearance was even more important. Ding Ning was a lecherous person. He ignored the ugly males of the water race and focused on young and beautiful female creatures. He was very busy.
Fortunately, the mermaid knew that Ding Ning was already taking a great risk by coming to save them. She didn't ask too much of him and allowed him to choose who to save.
"These monsters, let's fight them to the death."
Just as Ding Ning was saving people like a fish in water, a furious shout attracted his attention.
A group of muscular, two-meter-tall, bald men led a group of water-kind creatures, fearlessly rushing towards those zombies and launching the attack.
