Chapter 1073: A Zombie That Has Mastered Illusions (1/2)

Upon swearing friendship to each other and cementing a true alliance, the last traces of estrangement between the group faded away. Even Lu Yun felt something new blossom in his heart.

“In that case, I won’t keep it from you guys anymore. I’m not actually a secluded disciple of the Inception Palace—”

“Shut up!” Everyone tensed. “From now on, you are a secluded disciple of the Inception Palace to everyone we meet!”

“Don’t worry, secluded disciples are special,” You Huoran quickly followed up. “Even ordinary Inception disciples might not be able to tell who you really are! Therefore, you are exactly what you’ve been telling everyone all along!”

Some of the group had nursed suspicions about Lu Yun’s identity for a while, but they’d never openly brought it up. His voluntary candor set aside their last concerns about this mysterious stranger.

You Huoran was a secluded disciple of Opposition Palace and knew how the system operated. Thus, he spoke on basis of great authority when he told Lu Yun to continue as is. Lu Yun’s name was also too closely tied with Inception Palace anyway, and almost everyone knew of him.

If word came out now that he was a fake, Inception Palace would be the first to call for Lu Yun’s head and send everything in their power after him.

As it were, the palace hadn’t addressed the rampant rumors of secluded disciple Lu Yun in the Tomb of Heaven and Earth. This was the greatest proof that they themselves didn’t know who Lu Yun was.

A secluded disciple who could deploy the power of inception was the perfect cover.

As for how Lu Yun could use the power of inception when he wasn’t one of their disciples… that was one of his secrets; the others didn’t care to pry. All they knew was that he’d risked his life to save Li Xue in the zombie flood and taken point for the group every single time. That was all they needed to know.

“Alright then!” Touched, Lu Yun went along with the plan.

“From now on, we are the Six Royals, the Six Royals of the chaos!” Having recovered from Jushan’s death, Wang Shu smiled widely.

“The Six Royals?” Lu Yun’s eyes widened. There were also stories of the Six Royals on Earth. By now, he could no longer tell where the legends and myths of Earth came from. Did they originate from the world of immortals, or this dead mythological realm?

“Since we’ve sworn friendship and become true fellow daoists, then we should always help each other. If the final opportunity isn’t ours, we’ll take it for ourselves! If it belongs to one of us, then the other five will protect and guard it with our lives!” Lu Yun asserted.

“Right!”

“As things should be!”

……

They were all here for treasures and opportunities. They would take it if it wasn’t theirs, and they would guard it if it was!

Now as the “Six Royals”, the six made their moves in unison, no trace of worry or concern to be found. Lu Yun suddenly found himself understanding the six prodigals more. They advanced and retreated as one, always supporting each other. Even if one of them offended a dao immortal, the rest would fling themselves forward without a beat of hesitation.

“So this is that corpse…” They abruptly came to a halt.

There was a body the size of a mountain in front of them, still five hundred thousand kilometers away but fully visible to their eyes because…

It was huge.

At least tens of thousands of kilometers tall, she sat cross-legged with her head drooped down, as if she’d fallen asleep. However, there was no ripple of life to be found anywhere on her body.
