Taking a deep breath, Yang Xuan took out the token that Su Hanyu had given him and handed it to Su Zhicheng. Then, he said, "Mobilize the army."
Yang Xuan didn't explain anything, and Su Zhicheng didn't ask either. He respectfully took the token with a solemn and serious expression.
1.3 million zombies.
If things didn't go well, it might be the end of the country.
Su Zhicheng left with the token. Yang Xuan didn't bother with him anymore. Someone would naturally take care of the mobilization of the army. There was no need for him to do it personally.
This time, Su Zhicheng didn't come alone. He brought a large group of generals and strategists, enough to support a large number of troops.
After Su Zhicheng left, Yang Xuan didn't have the heart to continue staying here. Thus, he brought Lei Shijiu and Dian Qi to Yu Jiu.
When he found Yu Jiu, he was facing three zombies in ragged clothes.
The troops of the Rain Guards and Wind Guards had already set up this small town like an iron wall. Not even a drop of water could enter.
The three zombies were locked in a large iron cage. Their faces were ferocious, and their skin was greenish-black like burnt tree bark. From time to time, they would roar and roar.
"Your Highness, something isn't right!" Yu Jiu didn't have time to bow to Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan stared at the eyes of the three zombies, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. He asked, "What do you mean?"
Yu Jiu didn't immediately answer Yang Xuan's question. Instead, he flicked a small stone at one of the zombies.
Bang!
The zombie waved its claws and swept the small stone away. It hit the wall and created a hole.
Yang Xuan narrowed his eyes.
Yu Jiu's flick just now had the strength of an ordinary Xiantian Realm cultivator.
However, the problem was that the zombie that attacked just now was obviously an ordinary farmer.
"Your Highness, these three zombies were just ordinary people when they were alive. However, after becoming zombies, they have the strength of an Xiantian Realm cultivator." Yu Jiu's expression was very serious, but he didn't continue speaking.
However, his meaning was already very clear.
In Yang Xuan's mind, the scene of over a million Xiantian zombies destroying one city after another appeared.
Not to mention, some of the zombies were high-ranking martial artists when they were alive.
The situation was not good.
Yang Xuan frowned.
"Your Highness, there is one more thing." Yu Jiu seemed hesitant.
Yang Xuan looked at her and said, "What is it? Speak."
Yu Jiu thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, please come with me."
Yu Jiu brought Yang Xuan to a basement. There were a few beds in the basement, and there were a few dying people lying on the beds.
Yang Xuan's brows instantly furrowed.
Plague.
A person who was infected with the plague but had yet to die.
But that was not the main point. The main point was that Yang Xuan had seen this plague before.
Plague of Black Bugs.
Great Ming Empire, Tang City, Black Bug Plague.
Sacred Mountain Soul Palace!
Things were getting a little complicated.
"We once found traces of Saint Disciples of Soul Palace and Corpse Palace around the four cities." Yu Jiu knew that Yang Xuan had seen the key point, so she continued.
Yang Xuan took a deep breath and then exhaled.
"Your Highness, what should we do now?" Yu Jiu asked.
"Find a way to contact the people in charge of Soul Palace and Corpse Palace and bring them to me." Yang Xuan looked serious.
"Yes!" Yu Jiu replied.
Coming out of the basement, Yang Xuan looked at the three zombies in the courtyard. He thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Take out the statue that you collected in Zhou Village."
Yu Jiu was a little confused, but she still took out the statue and placed it on the ground.
The moment the statue was taken out, the three zombies suddenly quieted down. Then, something strange happened.
After a moment of silence, the three zombies suddenly knelt down in front of the statue.
That's right, they knelt down, as if they were subjects worshipping the emperor, respectful and sacred.
Yu Jiu opened her eyes wide in surprise.
Yang Xuan's eyes showed that he had expected it.
"Yu Jiu, send someone back to investigate everything about Zhou Shouyuan. Turn Zhou Village upside down for me." Yang Xuan said in a low voice.
"Yes!" Yu Jiu also knew that this matter was extremely important. Without any hesitation, he left to make the arrangements.
After Yu Jiu left, Yang Xuan looked at the three kneeling zombies again. After thinking for a moment, he waved his hand and put away the statue.
Roar!
The three zombies immediately went crazy, shaking the cage until it creaked and almost fell apart.
The surrounding guards quickly went up to subdue the zombies.
Yang Xuan ignored the madly roaring zombie and turned to enter the room that had been arranged for him.
Not long after he entered the room, someone came to report.
"Your Highness, Commander Feng is back."
"Tell him to come see me," Yang Xuan said.
Feng Shisan came to Yang Xuan with injuries on his body.
At this moment, his face was pale and his body was swaying. There was also some blood on the corner of his mouth.
"What happened?" Yang Xuan went up to support him.
Feng Shisan gasped and said intermittently, "Your Highness, the zombies that entered Gu Zhen were controlled by an expert. They were like a powerful army. I was careless and was surrounded by the zombies. I almost couldn't come back."
"Don't move. Let me heal you," Yang Xuan said. The wood spiritual qi had already entered Feng Shisan's body to help him recover.
Feng Shisan's injuries were not serious. He was just exhausted. With the help of Yang Xuan's spiritual qi, he recovered in a short time.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Feng Shisan's eyes were full of gratitude.
He had heard that Yang Xuan had an extremely heaven-defying recovery method. Now that he saw it, it was indeed worthy of the reputation.
Although his injuries were not serious, it would take him three to five days to recover. But now, in just a few breaths, his injuries were all healed. It was truly heaven-defying.
After letting Feng Shisan sit down, Yang Xuan asked again, "Tell me in detail what happened."
"Your Highness, I went deep into Gu Zhen this time to see why the three hundred thousand zombie army entered Gu Zhen Kingdom. However, I didn't expect that these zombies didn't look like zombies at all. Instead, they looked like a well-trained and powerful army. They advanced and retreated as one. They even changed their battle formation between marching and attacking enemies. I found it very strange and wanted to enter the center of the zombie army to see who was guarding it. However, before I could get close, I was surrounded. It was as if they knew that I was coming. Fortunately, I didn't go too deep and escaped with all my strength."
Yang Xuan frowned, "You're saying that there is someone commanding these zombies? Or is there a center of these zombies?"
Feng Shisan nodded, "That's right. This matter is very strange.
Yang Xuan thought for a while and asked, "What about the ancient town's border guards? Did they run away? "
Feng Shisan shook his head, "There were thirty thousand guards who fought with the zombie army at the beginning. But they were devoured in an instant. Almost all of them were annihilated. After they died, they turned into zombies and strengthened the original zombie army. After that, the rest of the guards fled. They didn't dare to fight. "
After pausing for a while, Feng Shisan continued, "After the zombie army took down one of Gu Zhen's border cities, they stopped in the city and didn't move again."
Yang Xuan thought for a while and suddenly asked, "Is it possible that the Corpse Palace is behind this?"
Feng Shisan shook his head with certainty, "The Corpse Palace needs a very long time to refine corpse puppets. But this time, the corpses turned into zombies in just one night. This is something that neither the Corpse Palace nor the Soul Palace can do."
Speaking to there, he paused for a moment as a strange look appeared in his eyes. Only then did he continue, "However, the cause of this matter is definitely the Corpse and Soul Halls. The method of spreading the plague this time is clearly the work of the Soul Hall. They often do this.
Yang Xuan thought for a while and didn't say anything.
Feng Shisan looked at Yang Xuan and thought for a while, then continued, "Therefore, this subordinate speculates that someone must be using the plague of the Soul Palace and the Corpse Palace to play tricks."
Yang Xuan nodded. Feng Shisan's speculation happened to coincide with his.
At this moment, Yu Jiu walked in.
"Your Highness, I've contacted the Soul Palace."
