Episode 106: Zombie Kuang Tianyou

  That night, as expected, with Li Yan's cultivation, he didn't need to observe much and could easily see the two terrifying vengeful auras in the night sky. One of them was hovering above a certain location in the Xiyuan Garden, which was none other than the extremely terrifying ghostly lair where tens of millions of vengeful spirits converged. Even a scattered immortal of the fourth tribulation or higher would likely feel powerless against it! The other aura belonged to a massive black cow that hovered above the high-end villa district on the other side of the city. Its shadow was enormous, and its body was shrouded in vengeful energy, clearly indicating that it wasn't some simple entity either.

  Jin Zhida, a great and powerful god, was cast into an idol. According to reason, he should have been worshiped by thousands of people, and even if he had gained spiritual intelligence, he should have been like a celestial being, protecting the peace and safety of a region. But now, he is rolling around in a fierce and malevolent manner, covering the sky. What kind of god is this? He's even more demonic than demons themselves.

  Li Yan's divine sense burst out, and in an instant, he had already crossed the wall of restrictions, chasing after that soaring evil energy that broke through the air. Although it was only a single tribulation of thunder, Li Yan directly refined the entire true yuan of a Fourth Tribulation Scattered Immortal. His current cultivation was profound, having long surpassed the limits of a Third Tribulation Scattered Immortal. As he flew through the void, although he still couldn't reach the level of traversing a thousand miles in an instant, it wasn't far off either.

  With a flash of lightning, it whizzed through the sky, and just as it was about to approach its destination, Li Yan's body suddenly stopped, his eyes gleaming like electricity shooting out, staring at the empty space not far away, and said calmly: "This Pan Gu tribe's zombie friend, since you've come, why don't you show up and meet?"

  A ripple appeared in the void, and a figure emerged vaguely, suspended in mid-air. It turned out to be a young man who looked over twenty years old, with a pair of emerald green eyes that shone with an eerie light, which seemed even more eerie in the dark night. As soon as he appeared, he spoke up: "This friend, please don't be alarmed, I have no malicious intentions."

  "I know that if you had shown even a hint of malice just now, do you think you'd still have the chance to stand here and talk to me?" Li Yan chuckled, his eyes flashing with interest. "Red, green, yellow, blue, white, black... I didn't expect that you're actually a second-generation Pangu clan zombie! But how can your energy be so weak?" As he spoke, he took a step forward and appeared beside the young man, grabbing his wrist with one hand.

  "Huh? You've been a zombie for sixty years and you haven't even sucked the blood of a living person once!" This time, it was Li Yan's turn to be shocked. As a descendant of the Pangu tribe, due to their impure bloodline, they had an extremely strong craving for fresh blood. The fact that this zombie could endure sixty years without sucking the blood of a living person showed that he was either too kind or too stupid.

  The zombie's face stiffened for a moment, and then he spoke out in some discontent: "Who says zombies must suck the fresh blood of the living?"

  "Hmm," Upon hearing this, Li Yan was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing and clapped his hands, saying: "Not bad, not bad, you're absolutely right! Who says zombies have to suck blood? Brother, thanks to that line, I must become friends with you. And what should I call you?"

  "Sixty years ago, I was called Kuang Guohua. Now, I am called Kuang Tianyou." The young zombie looked very friendly.

  "Ha! Tianyou, Heavenly Blessing, is indeed a good name," Li Yan chuckled and said: "I'm really curious, how did you become an undead? Logically speaking, sixty years without drinking blood, not degenerating is already quite good. It's impossible to rely on yourself to upgrade your bloodline. So, it seems that you were bitten by the Undead King of the Pangu Clan?"

  "I was bitten by the Zombie King, Jiang Wang Chen." Kuang Tianyou looked somewhat troubled. "Sixty years ago, I received an invitation from the current heir of the Demon-Slaying Dragon Clan, Ma Dan'na, to go and slay the Zombie King, Jiang Wang Chen. As a result, during the battle, both my cousin, Kuang Fuxing, and I were bitten by the Zombie King and turned into zombies..."

  "It seems you don't like being a zombie, huh?" Li Yan chuckled and said: "Why not look on the bright side? As a Pangu tribe zombie, I have an almost immortal lifespan, living forever without aging - isn't that what ordinary people strive for?"

  As he spoke, a flash of sharp light flickered in his eyes. According to what he knew, the true Pangu tribe generally only existed in two places: one was the Eternal Realm that he had visited before, and the other was the Pangu Sacred Land, which even he had only heard of. According to the rules of the Pangu tribe, they were not allowed to leave these two places and wander around between heaven and earth. Yet, unexpectedly, on this planet, there actually existed a true Pangu tribe.

  Although he had already suspected this when he encountered the third-generation Pangu tribe zombie Zheng Tianxiu, it wasn't until now that he finally confirmed it. On this planet, at least one true Pangu tribe member exists.

  "Immortal and indestructible, forever young... What's the point of being forever young? I've watched my wife and children grow old and die one by one before my eyes, while I remain an immortal monster..." As Kuang Tianyou spoke, his face was filled with painful expressions, it was clear that he was truly suffering.

  Zombies, they gather the resentment and grievances between heaven and earth, born from darkness. They do not age, do not die, and are indestructible, abandoned by the three realms of heaven, earth, and man, outside the six paths of reincarnation, drifting aimlessly, without a place to call their own. With no other choice, they can only rely on resentment as their strength, feeding on blood in the mortal world, using the fresh blood of living beings to vent their endless loneliness.

  Li Yan sighed: "If you love your family so much, why didn't you bite them back then?"

  "I won't, I won't......" In the emerald green eyes of Tianyou, there was a fearful expression, his body trembling, and his voice stuttering as he spoke: "I won't let them become monsters like me, living on blood forever, enduring eternal suffering..."

  Indeed, for the Pangu zombies who have not found their direction in life, eternal undead life is also eternal undead suffering, which is also the price they pay for eternal undead.

  "The bloodline of the Pangu clan is indeed a bit strange, and this matter can't be blamed on you." Li Yan shook his head and asked: "You've come here, isn't it also for that golden bull god statue with an aura that pierces the sky?"

  Tianyou nodded and replied, "Yes, I and Ha Ruzheng's grandfather were sworn brothers. We used to be in the same guerrilla team. Now, I feel that an old friend is in trouble, so I came over specially."

  "Alright, let's go together." Li Yan chuckled and took a step forward, transforming into a dazzling cyan light that pierced through the night sky.

  Tianyou was taken aback for a moment, and then hurriedly followed suit. After all, he had been an immortal for sixty years, and although he hadn't deliberately come into contact with the Eastern Cultivation world, he knew that in this country, there were many mysterious existences. In his view, Li Yan before him was also one of them, and it wasn't particularly surprising.

  Two people walked for about a mile and arrived at the villa of Hai Ruitian's family. At this time, Hai Ruitian had been waiting eagerly at the gate of the villa for a long time. As soon as he saw Li Yan leading a stranger to come, he hurriedly smiled and came forward, saying: "Ah! Mr. Li, you've finally arrived."

  Li Yan waved his hand impatiently and said, "This is my partner Kuang Tianyou. Don't waste words, the golden bull's evil spirit is getting heavier, let's get going."

  "Yes, yes." Hai Ruten was indeed a shrewd businessman, extremely astute. He immediately ushered the two of them into the living room with courtesy. After Li Yan and Kuang Tianyou entered, they looked around and found that this villa was quite spacious, decorated in a stylish manner, and the several sets of fabric sofas in the living room were arranged very tastefully. Although it couldn't compare to Li Yan's Shanhe Residence in Haiyang Garden, it wasn't much inferior either.

  After the two men sat down, Hai Ruten personally poured two cups of tea and smiled politely: "Mr. Li, Mr. Kuang, this time we will have to rely on you both a lot."

  Li Yan took the teacup and lightly sipped a mouthful. As a three-reincarnation scattered immortal, his primordial spirit had already coalesced into form, and he didn't differ much from ordinary people. He didn't think much of it either. However, Tian You was different; as a second-generation Pangu clan zombie, he couldn't eat or drink water after all. Seeing Tian You's distressed expression, Li Yan turned his head and chuckled at Hai Ruo Tian: "How is it? Has the Heavenly Lord finally figured it out?"

  "I've figured it out, I've figured it out........." Hai Ruten's face revealed a bitter smile: "At this point, I've also thoroughly figured it out. That golden bull statue, no matter how precious and rare it is, can't compare to the safety of my family members. If Yun has been ill for so long, and this time, fortunately, Mr. Li has helped cure him, I don't want him to fall back into his old ways again."

  Listening to Haitian speaking with a sincere and earnest tone, Li Yan couldn't help but smile slightly: "Well said, it seems that this time Tian really understood."

  "Even the most precious treasures are not as important as the safety of one's own family."

  "Boundless Heaven Venerable, this little friend is right..." Just then, suddenly, a loud and clear voice came from extremely far away.

  "What kind of person?!" Hai Rutian couldn't help but be shocked, after all, he was just an ordinary person. So when encountering such a thing, it was inevitable that he would be somewhat surprised and frightened, but it wasn't anything out of the ordinary.

  Kuang Tianyou's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he felt a sense of discomfort from the aura emanating from the newcomer.

  Li Yan couldn't help but smile slightly at the sight, and although Tianyou had the blood of the Pangu tribe, he was only a second-generation zombie after all, not pure enough, so it was natural for him to have a certain resistance to the power of cultivators.

  He then loudly said: "Little Taoist, since everyone has already arrived, why are you still hiding outside the door pretending to be mysterious, come in..."
