Liu Yan and Lin Yue caught their breath, having narrowly escaped from the old town district.
Reflecting on the scenes just monts ago, it was truly fraught with danger. They had barely managed to utilize the Hanging Man Spear to attack the soul and kill the creature called Alice, only to encounter a supernatural incident in the old town district. The Walking Corpses were extrely terrifying, unknowingly becoming climatic with unimaginable fearso strength.
If they were even a step later, both of them might not have been able to leave alive.
"Compared to a few weeks ago, the strength of these evil spirits has increased," Master Pete’s eyes carried a hint of worry, "What about the spider matriarch? Was it successfully dealt with?"
"It should be dead, I killed it," Li Yi said.
Master Pete nodded and said, "That’s good, at least one less trouble. However, I’m now worried that these Walking Corpses might possibly spread to the outside. By then, these things could be seen in every corner of the city. I am powerless despite my will."
"To deal with this, we need to gather the strength of all the Cultivators in the city; only then might there be a chance."
"Is it that serious?" Li Yi exclaid in surprise.
Master Pete said, "I tried to handle it with the captain before. We fought our way to the lair of those evil spirits. We thought we could succeed, but a female ghost was quite unusual; she severely wounded the captain in one encounter, leaving him unconscious. We suffered heavy losses, and I barely managed to escape with the unconscious captain."
"I only regret that my skills are not profound; I know so Spear Technique but do not understand the way of Tao. Otherwise, how could I have let that female ghost wreak havoc here?"
He clenched his teeth, a look of unwillingness on his face.
"Female ghost?"
Li Yi’s expression shifted subtly, his mind involuntarily thinking of Liu Yan who had co back to life.
Could the female ghost Master Pete spoke of be her?
If it was true, then this Liu Yan was terrifying indeed. It had been less than three months since her corpse returned from the Ruined District, yet she had caused such a severe incident. It was known that he relied on Mysterious Objects for Cultivation and had only reached the inspiration realm with Cross Border.
Was demonic Cultivation truly that horrifying?
"To kill this kind of thing, you need only to destroy their bodies but also kill the fierce ghosts possessing the corpses. Although our world’s energy is polluted, it can erode the fierce ghosts given so ti. But if the fierce ghost leaves the body in the anti and possesses soone else, that would be troubleso."
At this mont, Lin Yue frowned and said, "The old town district has always been filled with people, which is precisely why it provides breeding grounds for these fierce ghosts and evil spirits. If we want to eradicate them completely, I suggest using large-scale lethal weapons and completely destroy the old town district. Moreover, we have to act quickly, as once these things spread, there will be no stopping them."
"Makes sense. Exorcise demons with thunderous asures. Destroy the entire old town district and liberate all those evil spirits, preventing further mishaps. Your suggestion is excellent, fits exactly with my thoughts, and I will imdiately apply to the investigation bureau above, hoping others will understand my earnest difficulties," Master Pete expressed agreent, convinced by the reasoning and imdiately turned to leave.
He really did go to apply for the use of large-scale lethal weapons.
Li Yi gaped, watching Master Pete stride away, wondering if this really was a Cultivator in tone.
Resorting so readily to firepower, destroying cities?
"Li Yi, we should also hurry and withdraw, go back to prepare early. If they plan to destroy the old town district, we have to be ready," Lin Yue said.
"Alright, let’s head back to Peace Finance Building first and rest, and discuss further if anything cos up," Li Yi nodded.
Neither of them wanted to stay in the vicinity any longer, and they rapidly left.
At this mont, Zheng Gong and Yuan Mingjin had also successfully withdrawn. They waited at the intersection on their way back. Seeing Li Yi and Lin Yue’s figures, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.
"Li Yi, Lin Yue, it’s good you’re unhard. What happened just now, why the sudden retreat? The body of the spider matriarch still hasn’t been recovered," Zheng Gong asked, sowhat puzzled.
Li Yi’s face darkened as he said, "The supernatural incident in the old town district has escalated. Right after we killed that spider matriarch, the Walking Corpses suddenly erged, and their strength was terrifying. Most of them were already Cultivating, possessing the strength of the Spirit dium Realm, and a few of the Walking Corpses were even climatic, their strength comparable to Spiritual Sense. If you hadn’t retreated tily, you wouldn’t be able to leave."
"We were lucky to encounter Master Pete coming to our aid, allowing us to escape safely. Now, Master Pete has rushed back to the investigation bureau to apply for the use of large-scale lethal weapons, planning to completely level this old town district."
"What?" Zheng Gong and Yuan Mingjin were both instantly shocked.
Was it really that horrifying?
Had things beco so serious that the entire old town district needed to be destroyed?
Li Yi continued, "Zheng Gong, Yuan Mingjin, you two head back to the investigation bureau imdiately. Apply for more sniper rifle bullets. I feel a fight might occur sooner or later, and we need to prepare in advance. Additionally, if you have relatives or friends, it would be best if they stay far away from the old town district, entering AnDing District if possible. If not, co to Peace Finance Building where we can look out for each other."
"Alright, I understand. I’ll get moving," Zheng Gong’s expression was especially grave.
