Chapter 378 - 1000 Years of Malicious Grudge (2/2)
Xiao Chen’s expression gradually became dignified. 31 people had disappeared on the same day, and they were all born on July 7th, and this had happened before a few hundred years ago. What was going on…
Zhiluan was still at the side muttering and complaining. It saw that Xiao Chen was silent for such a long time, asked, “Kiddo, why ain’t you speaking?”
Xiao Chen frowned. “Leopard Cat Spirit, I think this is unusual; go back immediately and tell them, don’t go further into the mountains anymore.”
“Not like they will listen to me!” Zhiluan snorted, and murmured, “That Eleven Yu can be such one-track mind, said that the task the master has given has to be accomplished. Following him is even more unlucky than to follow you!” Then he glanced at Xiao Chen again and said, “Stupid kiddo, are you also going into the depths to find the extraordinary treasure? ”
Xiao Chen’s eyebrows were tightly locked, everyone was eyeing that extraordinary treasure, it was not just a groundless rumor, but it was difficult to tell what it really was and it was necessary for him to see for himself… Zhiluan exclaimed, “You, you, you kiddo really intended to go! Holy meow! Do you know what sort of place Ghost-wailing Hill is?”
“You know?”
Zhiluan coughed, its claws behind its back and walked back and forth at the cave entrance. It said proudly, “If you are willing to ask me nicely, I can tell you anyway.”
“Dear Immortal Zhi, the boy would like to know the details.”
Zhiluan coughed, looked around, walked to his side, tiptoed and whispered in his ear, “Kiddo, haven’t you noticed something strange about this place? Within hundreds of miles of the radius is being shrouded by a Negative Qi, and this Negative Qi is different from the Negative Qi we noticed the last time in that Valley of Devilish Aura…”
Xiao Chen’s brows grew deeper and deeper. Indeed, he was very sensitive to the Negative Qi, and he had felt a Negative Qi from the moment he came here and it gets heavier to the deeper he walked into the mountain. But the Negative Qi he felt in the Abyss of Devil’s Aura previously seemed to have come from the Ghost Realm, however, the Negative Qi here did not come from the Ghost Realm, but…
“Resentment!” Zhiluan’s claws placed in front of its chest, and it spoke the word very seriously. Xiao Chen gave him a side-eye and said, “When did you learn to read mind?”
Zhiluan snorted softly. “Whichever side you kiddo’s eyebrows move, I know what you were thinking.”
“Then guess what I’m thinking now.”
“You are thinking now that since the Corpse Refinery Sect is located here, they need to gather a lot of Malicious Grudges to refine their Corpse Puppet, so it is normal to have a bit more resentment nearby, isn’t it?”
“Is that not right?”
“No!” Zhiluan stretched out its hand and said very earnestly, “It’s not that the Corpse Refinery Sect being here that has caused the areas around to have extremely heavy resentment, but it was because of this, the Corpse Refinery Sect has chosen to form their sect here!”
After hearing what he said, Xiao Chen’s eyebrows were gradually locked up again, and there were three Malevolent Qi in the world, Tainted Qi, Turbid Qi, and Resentment Qi. Among them, Resentment Qi, if people were extremely unwilling and resentful at the time of death, they would send out a Malicious Grudge. If this Malicious Grudge could not find a host for a long time, it would gradually develop into Resentment Qi and diffused into the world.
Once there were corpses nearby that did not decompose infected with such Resentment Qi, it would gradually become Walking Corpse after a certain period, which was equivalent to zombies in the eyes of mortals. Corpse Refinery Sect refining Corpse Puppet was also based on this principle, a Malicious Grudge was injected into the corpses, but whether it was a Walking Corpse or an artificially made Corpse Puppet, they did not have the souls and senses, and were born of a Malicious Grudge.
The heavier the Malicious Grudge, the more powerful the Corpse Puppet. A Corpse Puppet of a hundred years’ Malicious Grudge could defeat a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. If it was a Corpse Puppet that had gathered millennia of Malicious Grudge, it would simply be unthinkable, if it was ten thousand years of Malicious Grudge… He believed that the Corpse Refinery Sect did not have this ability yet.
“Humph, kiddo, do you know how powerful it is now? Still going to the depths of the mountains?” Zhiluan looked proud of his solemn expression at this moment.
“Go!” Xiao Chen patted his hands on his legs and stood up.
“Meow! What the meow!” Zhiluan jumped in shock and said, “Why are you as one-track mind as that Yu Eleven? The Resentment Qi outside is already so heavy, what about Ghost-wailing Hill? There can be a Millennium Walking Corpse! Kiddo, you want to die! ”
Xiao Chen looked out at the vast sky and said, “I have to figure out some things… And, I also happen to be missing a Corpse Puppet, and it would be good if I could catch a Walking Corpse of a thousand year’s Malicious Grudge.”
“Catch, catch the Millennium Walking Corpse?” Zhiluan was stunned, then it suddenly lay on the ground, hit it while pointing at him, laughed and said, “You want to catch the Millennium Walking Corpse! Hahaha!”
“I’m actually hearing a Nascent Soul Realm kiddo saying that he was going to catch the Millennium Walking Corpse! Hahaha! This joke I can laugh for a year!”
Zhi Luan laughed at him while hitting the ground and pointing at him. It was in tears of laughter. Xiao Chen frowned and glared at it, saying, “Ain’t you annoying? I was just joking, stupid cat; you eat too much and get sick! Go away!” Then he kicked it and Zhiluan rolled on the ground a few times.
Zhiluan was still laughing, “Do you know what the Millennium Walking Corpse is like? Let me tell you, if there is a Walking Corpse with more than a thousand years’ Malicious Grudge, it cannot be killed. Even if you killed it, it will immediately resurrect with this millennium Malicious Grudge. Haha, you actually want to catch a Millennium Walking Corpse! I’m going to laugh for a year! ”
“Wait! What did you say!” Xiao Chen suddenly felt the heat all over his body and then shivered, and then a layer of sweat had formed on his back.
The Walking Corpse was also called a zombie in the mortal world. It gathered the Resentment Qi from the heavens and the earth, and was born from the Death Qi, the Unlucky Qi of the heaven and earth. In the mortal world, it used the resentment as its power and fed on blood. According to the ancient Mao Mountain strange skills, a zombie with Malicious Grudge of more than a thousand years could resurrect countlessly, could fly and move in the ground, and could even produce its own spiritual intelligence and cast spells. It was called the Flying Zombie and was feared by Cultivators.
