Chapter 118: Judgment of Life or Death (2/2)

“All hail the Divine Emperor—” The three warriors suddenly stopped and got on their knees.

Thud!

Three heads fell off at the same time, followed by bodies toppling to the ground and returning to three halved soybeans.

The warriors were half gods summoned from an outer realm by Lu Yun’s death art. They were divine spirits, yet not of the divine race.

Well... he wasn’t entirely sure what they were.

“It really is the layout of certain death! Believing whatever’s inside and reacting accordingly will be the end of you!” Lu Yun’s expression darkened. Since he couldn’t see the layout, he’d sent the bean soldiers ahead as scouts. Where the three of them had died was the starting point.

“Let’s go!” The governor set his jaw grimly and strode toward the entrance of the formation.

Qing Han followed closely after and muttered, “Be careful. There’s not only illusions within the layout, but also something invisible…. It was that thing that triggered the power of the Scroll of Shepherding Immortals back in the burial mound.” He still recalled that terrifying, stark-white face.

“Okay.” Lu Yun glanced at him and solemnly reminded, “Be careful not to believe anything you encounter. I’ll determine if something is real or not.”

“What if I turn into a woman again?” Qing Han asked nervously.

“Um...” Lu Yun paused. “I won’t believe it.”

Qing Han sighed with relief.

Hum.

A sudden buzz emitted from around them, heralding the abrupt appearance of a ghastly-pale zombie with corpsewater dripping out of its seven orifices. Its pungent, rotten smell viciously assaulted their senses.

A grudge corpse!

“It’s fake!” Lu Yun exclaimed with determined eyes.

Qing Han took his hand and followed without a word.

Puff!

The grudge corpse scattered and the two continued onward. Monsters upon monsters, both real and fake, emerged around them.

Lu Yun had concealed their vitality with hellfire. As a result, all of the real zombies ignored them, while only the fake monsters attacked them.

Qing Han had been nervous at first, but after a while, he just screwed his eyes shut and followed the governor with a hand on his elbow.

“Hm?” Lu Yun came to a sudden stop because he smelled a familiar fragrance near him.

He turned without thinking and found a stunning girl by his side, her jade-like hand wrapped around his elbow. Red dusted her cheeks, and her bashfulness whispered of a seductive charm.

It was Qing Yu.
