Necropolis Immortal

et she still cowers inside the abyss, too afraid to take half a step outside the tomb for the living,” Mo Yi whispered.
“The river god is merely an empyrean immortal, so how can she survive here?”

Diexi was the zombie king’s name, as Mo Yi had learned after striking up a conversation after Lu Yun and Qing Han’s departure from the tomb.

“I…” His cultivation too low to discern the situation, Lu Yun didn’t know what to make of the situation after this analysis.
“Well, what should we do then?” His face was grim.
They’d gone to no small trouble to lure this ‘River God’ out, only to discover there was no good way to deal with her.

Even if they were to capture her, she would die the moment she broke away from the monster.

“There’s still a way!” Yuying’s voice resonated in Lu Yun’s mind.
“Sir, you can take the previous river god as your envoy.
She’s qualified to be one!”

The previous god had cherished the common people.
She’d kept to herself so much that the populace hadn’t known of her, yet in times of trouble, she’d risked her life to save the province and ultimately died to a scheme within the abyss.

“We have no other option,” a tense Lu Yun responded.
“But her corpse is currently suppressing the creature under the palace.
If I take her, we’ll be setting it free.”

He’d already considered the possibility upon realizing the previous river god wasn’t a corpsefish, but other misgivings had come into play.

“Sir, don’t overthink it,” Yuying continued to advocate.
“Even dead, she can quell the monster.
Wouldn’t that task be a trifle once she comes back to life? Moreover, she gave you the talisman earlier.
She certainly has a way to escape this place.”

“Very well.
We’ll do as you suggest.” His mind made, Lu Yun no longer hesitated.

“What the bloody hell is that!” Qi Shenghui suddenly swore loudly.

Sword light flashed soon after, followed by a pale head flying high in the air.
A headless body spasmed forward a few times before dropping lifelessly to the ground, a strong fishy stench arising from it.

A ghoul.

One of these creatures had appeared from somewhere, only to be beheaded by a single slash of Qi Shenghui’s sword.

“Did you just kill a ghoul?!” Lu Yun shook uncontrollably, wrath plain on his face.

“It’s nothing but a trivial monster.
Why are you making a fuss?” The eunuch snorted coldly.

“Get away from him! Wait, prepare to fight!” yelled the governor.
Ghouls never attacked the living on their own, but they fought tooth and nail once provoked.
They also nursed grudges for an inordinately long period of time.

Sure enough, rustling soon reached their ears as a seemingly boundless sea of creatures emerged from the darkness, crawling in their direction.

“Bugs, one and all.
What’s there to fear!” Qi Shenghui screeched.
He’d accumulated quite the pent-up resentment ever since coming to this place, and now he’d found targets to vent on.
With a battle howl, he brandished his weapon and charged into their midst.
In the blink of an eye, a foul reek permeated the air.

“We’re done for,” Diexi lamented, her face wan.
