Necropolis Immortal Chapter 1746

Chapter 1746: Oriole

Lu Yun didn’t know what possessed Princess Mu’s body or what had turned her into a zombie, but he was certain that she hadn’t been refined by the Great Formation of Corpse Refinement or a Bag of Corpse Refinement. Something had burrowed into her body and turned her into a zombie from the inside!

Another thing he was certain of was that whatever it was, it wasn’t in league with the Corpse Refiners. She’d hidden herself among their zombies to await Lu Yun’s arrival, and it wasn’t the Corpse Refiners who’d detected his mother and child layout, but the Princess Mu in front of them.

The mother and child tomb wasn’t a complete layout yet since the mother tomb was being constructed. Lu Yun couldn’t see a hint of the bigger picture to come, even though he was the builder. Neither did this Princess Mu see through to the heart of the mother and child tomb, which was why she’d jeered at a perceived incompetence.

She didn’t know everything about Lu Yun or what his true trump cards were because Haidong Lin didn’t know, much less the Corpse Refiners of the world of immortals. Lu Yun could clearly sense her horrifying emotions through the Karmic Tree—she nursed a deep seated hatred of him!

The emotions didn’t belong to the living—they came from the dead. Something that was dead had stolen Princess Mu’s body and turned her into a zombie. A yin spirit was behind this!

The silver flame blazing over Lu Yun’s body was now pure black h.e.l.lfire; it dyed his Argent Snow pitch black as well. Black snowflakes flurried through the air and charged the unknown yin spirit like they were sprites wielding flaming torches.

Princess Mu shrieked with agony. She hadn’t thought that Lu Yun would attack her without forewarning! He was so much stronger than when he’d last visited the tomb; he’d reached a level that she couldn’t withstand!

He was on par with eighteen levels of sequence!

The pure black h.e.l.lfire completely restrained her abilities and prevented her from deploying her strength. Anguished wails rang throughout the Abyssal h.e.l.l, alerting the Corpse Refiners waiting for Lu Yun to fall into their trap.

“I wanted to take care of this quietly and not alarm anyone, but now, to h.e.l.l with it!” The void broke open behind him and a ma.s.sive battles.h.i.+p slowly sailed out. “Get in!” he called out to Jian Bu’er and the Demonic Vine.

They leapt onto the vessel without hesitation.

Battle zombies surged from all directions, blotting out the ground with their sheer numbers. Jian Bu’er’s scalp crawled with horror and rage erupted in his eyes. He saw quite a few familiar faces from the World of Swords among the horde!

After Lu Yun left with the core essence of sequence two thousand years ago, the Corpse Refiners exploded with a fury. Countless Great Formations of Corpse Refinement and Bags of Corpse Refinement activated in unison, refining innumerable minor worlds among the secondary worlds and turning all of their denizens into zombies.

They then directed the zombies into the Abyssal h.e.l.l to reconstruct their old layouts.

Cultivators of the outside realm had jointly suppressed the sect before, preventing the Corpse Refiners from committing their evil acts or refining zombies en ma.s.se in the Land of Reincarnation. And indeed, the sect had previously only been able to refine the corpses of those who died in battle.

But this time, Lu Yun claiming the core essence of sequence thoroughly infuriated everyone in the outside realm. They no longer imposed any restrictions on the Corpse Refiners and allowed them to do as they wished, refining world upon world.

Part of the karmic repercussions a.s.sociated with this outcome was a.s.signed to Lu Yun.

“Kill these zombies and release them from their suffering!” Jian Bu’er roared and flew out of the h.e.l.l battles.h.i.+p. His rusty sword flared with a peculiar radiance and formed whirlwinds of sword light that churned toward the crowd.

Boom!

The void trembled as a terrifying aura descended from the sky and smashed Jian Bu’er’s sword light apart. He fell heavily to the ground, both of his legs sinking into the mud. He raised his head with difficulty and looked at the figure in the air.

A handsome young man dressed in green robes surveyed the scene with a supercilious smile. Confidence colored his face and he seemed to be in full control of everything.

“How dare you touch my man!” The Demonic Vine shrieked and reverted to her true form as a black vine five thousand kilometers long and lined with reverse spikes. She roiled toward the young man with screaming anger.

“Get back,” he said softly and forced the vine back into human shape. She landed roughly by Jian Bu’er’s side. “Hmm, eating this Demonic Vine will grant my battle zombies the ability to control demonic dao in this Land of Reincarnation. Tsk tsk tsk, demon zombies sound pretty nice.”

He was Jiang Kui—the current commander of everything in this Abyssal h.e.l.l. All of the zombies here were his battle zombies. Not only did they consist of denizens from the secondary worlds, but they also included some older corpses that he’d dug up from the Abyssal h.e.l.l.

He’d kept an eye on everything at all times; nothing escaped his attention, including the existence of Princess Mu. He’d known when Lu Yun arrived, but hadn’t rushed to take action. Only when Princess Mu and Lu Yun fought each other was it the perfect moment for his grand arrival.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

“What is that?” He looked at the s.h.i.+p beneath Lu Yun’s feet.

“Those two blithering idiots!” Lu Yun ground his teeth with annoyance. Jiang Kui wouldn’t be able to touch them if they hadn’t left the s.h.i.+p, but now that they had, they were his hostages.

Indeed, Jiang Kui closed his hand around Jian Bu’er’s neck with a wave of his hand and drowned the Demonic Vine with a tide of zombies.

“Get off that strange s.h.i.+p or I’ll turn him into a zombie.” Jiang Kui looked merrily at Lu Yun. “I hadn’t expected you to come back.”

Lu Yun glowered ominously as he put the s.h.i.+p away. He took a look at Princess Mu at the same time—she was expressionless, but a deep-seated hatred glinted out of the depths of her eyes. This hatred was directed at Jiang Kui; he’d ruined her plans!

Jiang Kui had grown stronger again. When Lu Yun first saw him, he’d been at fifteen levels sequence. But now, Lu Yun could no longer see how strong he was.

Hummm.

A pillar of black light rose from the ground before Lu Yun could speak and vaporized a large sum of zombies. Another figure appeared on the scene and slugged Jiang Kui in the head with a punch.

It then spat on Jian Bu’er’s face, seemingly in retaliation for something, before kicking him between the eyes and sending the man flying.

Unaware of the oriole behind?

An even bigger oriole had just arrived.
