Chapter 1525: Chapter 1484: Full Mobilization

Listening to Yun Yan’s threat, a flicker of murderous intent flashed in Huo Ling’er’s eyes but quickly disappeared.

Lu Chuan could completely understand Yun Yan’s feelings, but the fact is, there is absolutely no room for haste at this moment.

As strong as Huo Ling’er is, even she couldn’t gain the slightest advantage over the Corpse Ghosts, so what does Lu Chuan have to fight against them?

As for Yun Yan, that’s even more impossible.

Yun Yan is strong in the soul, and her race’s talent lies in soul-related Great Techniques, but as for Corpse Ghosts, whether they truly have souls is questionable, Yun Yan basically can’t help.

“Yun Yan, calm down a bit. Now is not the time to act impulsively. If we forcefully engage the Corpse Ghosts, the best result will just be mutual destruction and we’ll be unable to retrieve your body!”

“Then what should we do? Do you have a better way?”

“…In any case, take me over to see first.”

At this point, plans must be made carefully.

Seeing that Lu Chuan wasn’t planning to send the Fierce Sun Sparrows to their death, Huo Ling’er finally breathed a little sigh of relief.

“No problem, I can take you over right now, but the other members of the Fierce Sun Sparrow Clan won’t be involved. This has nothing to do with them, and if you don’t agree to this condition, I’d rather have my tribe stay here forever than let them go to their deaths!”

“No problem, I promise you.”

After all, the Fierce Sun Sparrow Clan may yet be a force worth drawing in. Such a powerful combat force, Lu Chuan couldn’t bear to send them to their deaths. To counter Empress Wu Zong in the future, Lu Chuan has to gather all the forces he can use.

Receiving Lu Chuan’s confirmed reply, Huo Ling’er nodded slightly, then transformed into a Fierce Sun Sparrow, calmly saying, “Follow me.”

“Alright.”

Lu Chuan agreed, grabbed onto Huo Ling’er’s feathers, and flipped onto her back. But before he could stabilize himself, Huo Ling’er suddenly flipped, directly tossing Lu Chuan off!

“Damn it, what are you doing!”

“What are you doing? Did I ever say you could ride on my back?”

“Then, what do I do? You fly so fast, can I keep up?”

“I can slow down, don’t forget, we’re merely partners, I’m not your mount!”

As she spoke, Huo Ling’er flapped her wings, ascending to the clouds. Seeing this, Lu Chuan had no choice but to walk on clouds, following behind her.

It was simply absurd.

I didn’t do anything else; isn’t this way more time-saving?

Anyway, let her be.

Just like Huo Ling’er said, the two are merely partners, Lu Chuan should respect her feelings.

“So, why did the Corpse Demon Clan suddenly appear? Did Empress Wu Zong bring them along when she opened this Small World?”

“Of course not, Corpse Ghosts are naturally formed from concentrated Yin Qi. The place where the bodies are stored has heavy Yin Qi, naturally facilitating the growth of Corpse Ghosts. By the time we discovered it, a Royal Family had already been born among the Corpse Ghosts, and that Corpse Ghost King had refined the bodies stored there into Corpse Puppets. We tried several times but couldn’t defeat them, so we could only leave them be.”

“No wonder… But according to you, shouldn’t the Fierce Sun Sparrow Clan, being purely Yang and strong, be natural nemeses of the Corpse Demon Clan?”

“Originally it should be, but… never mind, I can’t explain to you, you’ll understand when you see it yourself.”

As Lu Chuan’s thoughts surged, Huo Ling’er suddenly stopped.

“This is the place.”

Lu Chuan followed the sound and looked, but apart from a barren mountain, saw nothing else.

“Are you sure this is the place?”

“Do I need to lie to you?”

Huo Ling’er reverted to human form, glanced lightly at Lu Chuan, then lunged straight down from the clouds, landing steadily on the mountain peak. Lu Chuan followed closely behind.

“The Corpse Demon Clan likes darkness, so they rarely go out during the day, they mostly lurk in caves, underground, only when they detect the smell of blood do they swarm out, like… this!”

While speaking, Huo Ling’er summoned her Fire Feather Sword, effortlessly stabbing through Lu Chuan’s palm, fresh blood gushed out, and before Lu Chuan could start cursing, the ground beneath began to tremble.

“Hey hey hey! This tremor wouldn’t be…”

“They’re coming.”

In just a few breaths, countless Corpse Ghosts suddenly emerged from all directions, their rotting bodies, emitting a foul stench, rushed towards Lu Chuan in a strange manner, seeing this, Lu Chuan gasped.

The scene felt like a zombie siege, with countless zombies discovering Lu Chuan, a lone survivor; he even noticed numerous Corpse Ghosts being stomped into pulp by their companions, yet still wriggling towards him with their remaining intact bodies.

This goddamn vitality is even more persistent than Lu Chuan!

“What the hell… are these creatures!”

“Don’t freeze, move!”

Huo Ling’er grabbed Lu Chuan by the collar, ascending rapidly while the Corpse Ghosts below gathered, using each other’s bodies as steps to climb upward!

“Flame Sun!”

Seeing this, Huo Ling’er exclaimed, countless Fire Feathers condensed behind her, shooting out like arrows, striking the Corpse Ghosts with a force that turned them into fragments!

But faced with such an exaggerated number, this was simply a drop in the bucket!

“Now, do you understand what I mean? Before you can reach the chamber to reclaim your body, you must deal with these innumerable Corpse Ghosts, and these are just the lowest-tier Corpse Ghosts, not even having developed spirit wisdom, acting only on their bodily instincts. The ones with spirit wisdom are the hardest to deal with.”

Having seen this absurd scene, Lu Chuan finally understood why the Fierce Sun Sparrow Clan hadn’t made any effective results.

These Corpse Ghosts are just like weeds, burning endlessly!

“The most troublesome part is, that Corpse Ghost King already possesses combat power equivalent to the Integration Realm, an extremely strong body that even my flames can’t harm, and even if injured, it can recover by devouring other Corpse Ghosts, making it especially tricky. If we don’t clear other Corpse Ghosts, it’s an immortal existence.

Moreover, there’s the existence of Corpse Puppets, they can even use powers from when they were alive! So, now that you’ve seen this predicament firsthand, have you thought of any useful methods?”

Faced with Huo Ling’er’s hopeful gaze, Lu Chuan opened his mouth but had nothing to say.

What the hell could be done?

To defeat the Corpse Ghost King, we must clear the innumerable Corpse Ghosts, but fear it’s exhausting even before meeting the Corpse Ghost King.

Taking a step back, even if they cleared all Corpse Ghosts, even the mighty Huo Ling’er of the Integration Realm couldn’t breach the Corpse Ghost King’s defense; what could Lu Chuan do?
