The Crimson Blade Sect was the largest sect in the area. They had many disciples and countless riches. It would be an understatement to say that they were as wealthy as a country. Therefore, the main hall of the Crimson Blade Sect was built to an exaggerated extent.
At this moment, at the very end of Yang Xuan's vision, a giant tree stood at the center of the hall.
It was a locust tree.
To be precise, it was a locust tree that bloomed with edible white flowers in spring.
However, this giant locust tree was different from ordinary locust trees because it did not have any leaves on its tall treetop. There were only wisps of black gas.
The black gas was like leaves that covered the entire treetop. It then turned into wisps of black mist that flowed down from the treetop like flowing water.
Yang Xuan finally knew where the black Qi that permeated the zombie horde came from, and he finally knew what the mysterious Earth Spike was.
The black gas came from the strange locust tree, and those spikes were very similar to the wooden spikes on the locust tree.
Yang Xuan's eyes flickered.
Had the zombie turned into a locust tree? Or had the locust tree turned into a zombie?
Was a locust tree still a zombie?
Furthermore, Yang Xuan had seen this locust tree before.
Yang Xuan's gaze landed on the trunk of the locust tree. There was a lump that resembled an old man's face.
Zhou Village, village entrance, big locust tree.
That's right, this was the same locust tree that Yang Xuan had seen at the entrance of Zhou Village. There was no mistaking it.
However, this was nothing. The shock that the locust tree zombie brought to him was not as great as the scene at the roots of the locust tree.
The bluestone on the ground of the hall was overturned to reveal a huge pool.
Inside the pool was dark blood that had accumulated for an unknown period of time.
At this moment, the thick roots of the locust tree, which resembled a horned dragon, were deeply embedded in the dark blood. They constantly moved, sucking the viscous blood into the tree trunk like a green dragon sucking in water.
The thick stench of blood filled the entire hall as Yang Xuan's brows furrowed tightly.
He now understood why the Blood Blade Sect was called the Blood Blade Sect.
On the surface, the Blood Blade Sect was a righteous sect, but behind the scenes, they used blood as sacrifices to cultivate evil techniques. Who would have thought that they would attract zombies and bring about the destruction of their sect?
Then again, even if the zombies did not destroy the Blood Blade Sect, he would still uproot it.
Who told Ma Yongshou to violate Yang Xuan's taboo?
After figuring out why the zombies had destroyed the Blood Blade Sect, a new problem arose.
First, what kind of method did the zombies use to get here without anyone noticing?
This was something that Yang Xuan could not understand no matter how hard he thought about it. With so many zombies, it was simply impossible for them to enter the territory of the Blood Blade Sect without being noticed by the various sects.
If they couldn't do it on the ground, they couldn't do it in the sky either.
Even if these zombies were capable of flight, it was impossible for them to hide from everyone's eyes and appear here.
Then the only way was to go underground.
Yang Xuan had thought of this before, and he believed that Yun Ziyan had thought of this as well.
Yang Xuan had already scanned the area around the Blood Blade Sect with his Divine Telekinesis, but strangely, he did not discover any underground passageways.
Could these zombies really have appeared out of thin air?
Yang Xuan's heart was full of doubts.
Putting that aside, the second point was even more important to Yang Xuan, and it shocked him even more.
It was this incomparably huge zombie locust tree.
The appearance of this zombie tree had simply refreshed his worldview.
Before this, he had never known that plants could turn into zombies.
When he had seen this locust tree in Zhou Zhai Village, he had instinctively felt that something was wrong. However, he had only thought that it was because of the mysterious statue, so he had not thought too deeply about it.
Now that he thought about it again, he immediately felt that something was not quite right.
That day, there had not been a single mosquito on the locust tree. Not only that, there had not been a single mosquito or bird around the locust tree. Although the green leaves had swayed in the wind, and the place was full of vitality, the deathly stillness was astonishing.
One had to admit that this locust tree was very good at disguising itself. Even Yang Xuan had been fooled.
Outside the main hall, the deafening sounds of battle were constantly approaching. It sounded like the allied forces and the Wind and Lightning forces were about to break into the main hall.
The locust tree shook, increasing the rate at which it absorbed the blood. The remaining thick black blood in the blood pool was quickly emptied.
Seeing that the blood had been completely absorbed, the giant locust tree's roots began to curl up. A moment later, most of the roots had retracted back into the tree trunk.
Immediately after, the thick black gas around the main hall began to rapidly recede.
At the same time, the zombies that had been standing in the main hall began to move, gathering around the locust tree.
The black gas continued to converge toward the center, and a moment later, it had completely gathered around the locust tree.
The gathered zombies also disappeared into the incomparably thick black gas.
Yang Xuan muttered to himself for a moment. His eyes flashed, and he actually moved along with the zombies, entering the black gas.
Not long after he entered the black gas, he keenly sensed that a mysterious and enormous power had begun to pervade the zombies.
The black pearl trembled slightly, as if it was saying something, but upon closer inspection, it disappeared. This made Yang Xuan wonder if he was hallucinating.
When that mysterious power surrounded Yang Xuan, Yang Xuan suddenly felt an incomparably powerful attractive force, as if trying to pull him to a certain place.
Just as Yang Xuan was considering whether or not to resist, an extremely intense emotion came from that force.
Anger!
It was an extremely strong anger.
In the next moment, that attractive force suddenly transformed into an irresistible repulsive force, abruptly pushing Yang Xuan away.
Boom!
Yang Xuan, who was completely unprepared, was pushed back by that enormous force. His entire body involuntarily flew backward, slamming heavily into the wall, causing dust to fly everywhere.
Yang Xuan couldn't care less about his sorry state. As his spirit qi surged, he fully utilized the teleportation technique he had learned from Little Black. His entire body instantly appeared where the locust tree had been.
But it was already too late.
The locust tree had long since disappeared, along with the black gas and the hundreds of zombies within. They had all disappeared mysteriously.
Yang Xuan angrily struck out with his palm, and a huge force swept out, causing several stone pillars to break. The main hall creaked, and it seemed like it would collapse at any moment.
Footsteps sounded. Someone was about to rush into the main hall.
It was Yun Ziyan and Twenty-Three.
After a sigh, his spirit qi surged, and he removed his zombie disguise.
In the next moment, Yun Ziyan was the first to rush in, followed by Twenty-Three.
Then came Twenty-Four, Zhu Yuwen, Lei Nineteen, Feng Thirteen, and the others.
"Your Highness!" Twenty-Three was the first to jump over and stand behind Yang Xuan.
Creak! Creak!
After being ravaged for a long time, the Blood Blade Sect's main hall finally couldn't bear the burden and began to collapse.
Yun Ziyan's expression remained unchanged. She suddenly waved her sleeve, and as if a force 12 typhoon had swept through the ground, the collapsed bricks and tiles were all sent flying outwards.
The bright moon hung in the sky, and the stars shone brightly. The Blood Blade Sect's main hall, which had stood for hundreds of years, was reduced to ashes.
The mountain breeze blew, and Yun Ziyan's clothes fluttered. She bathed in the silver moon, her expression cold.
"What's going on?" She stared fixedly at Yang Xuan, pausing between each word.
