Chapter 147 - Blood Castle
The woman let out a sigh as she uttered it.
The girl's name happened to be Chen Yichan, a woman in her thirties and an esteemed member of the Dragon God Temple. She belonged to the team dispatched to investigate Glaze Old Town a few days earlier.
Upon reaching Glaze Old Town, they discovered that the entire town's populace had transformed into zombies.
These zombies harbored a fear of sunlight, confining themselves to their homes during the day and only venturing out at night.
Initially, their group had planned to eliminate all the zombies in Glaze Old Town. However, shortly after, a formidable group of zombies emerged.
A dozen or so zombies with green eyes appeared.
There were also Silver-eyed Zombies, even more potent than their green-eyed counterparts. Their strength even reached the pinnacle of King Level.
“Yet, the Silver-eyed Zombies aren't the most terrifying. Among them, there's a zombie known as the Emperor. His eyes glow red, and his power undoubtedly surpasses even the King Level pinnacle!”
When she mentioned the zombie, Chen Yichan couldn't help but widen her eyes, her body trembling involuntarily.
Clearly, this particular zombie had instilled great fear in her.
If he had exceeded the King Level, had he ascended to the Emperor Level?
This was a tier occupied by superpowers.
“When that zombie attacked, we stood no chance. Eventually, we were taken to a place known as the Bloody Castle by those zombies. It appeared as though they regarded us as their sustenance, intending to drain our blood.”
“In the end, I barely managed to escape while they were preoccupied.”
Bloody Castle?
Loong Chen narrowed his eyes. Despite scouring the entire town, he hadn't come across any sign of the Bloody Castle.
Chen Yichan seemed to have discerned Loong Chen's thoughts and volunteered an explanation.
“That Bloody Castle isn't situated within Glaze Old Town. It must exist within a separate, otherworldly space.”
Otherworldly space?
Loong Chen hadn't considered this possibility previously, which is why he hadn't investigated the presence of such a space.
“Guide me to that Bloody Castle.”
Loong Chen promptly requested. Chen Yichan had just mentioned that these zombies viewed them as potential prey.
If that were the case, Dugu Lengyue could be in grave danger.
“We should return to Dragon God Temple and request assistance. That zombie is extremely formidable; we stand no chance against it.”
“Perhaps our only option is to seek aid from the Palace Master.”
Chen Yichan shook her head and stated. After all she had been through, she couldn't muster the courage to go back.
Loong Chen furrowed his brow. Returning for reinforcements would consume too much time. Moreover, Loong Ling appeared to have a vital task at hand.
So he had no choice but to rely on himself.
“Hurry and lead the way.”
Loong Chen reiterated. Chen Yichan still harbored reservations, but she suddenly sensed a murderous intent emanating from Loong Chen.
She had no doubt that if she refused once more, Loong Chen might kill her on the spot.
“Fine.”
Helplessly, Chen Yichan could only acquiesce.
Loong Chen wasted no time. He pulled Chen Yichan up and instructed her to guide him.
A few minutes later, they reached Glaze Old Town's central square.
“I recall the entrance to the dimensional zone being here, but it seems to have vanished.”
Chen Yichan remarked, assuming Loong Chen wouldn't be able to enter in this manner.
However, in the next moment, she was filled with despair. Loong Chen closed his eyes. Moments later, a spatial portal materialized before her.
“You possess spatial talents?”
Chen Yichan exclaimed, but Loong Chen paid her no heed.
A dense aura of death emanated from the space gate, palpable to him.
This had to be a place even quieter than Glaze Old Town.
“Let's proceed.”
Loong Chen was about to tug Chen Yichan inside when she shook her head.
“I'd rather not enter. I don't want to meet my end here. Once you're inside, you'll easily spot Bloody Castle without my guidance.”
Observing Chen Yichan's teary eyes, Loong Chen let out a sigh.
She was exceptionally timid. How had she become an elite member of the Dragon God Temple?
Nevertheless, he didn't insist. He released Chen Yichan's hand and stepped into the otherworldly realm.
As the scenery transformed, a colossal Bloody Castle loomed before Loong Chen.
A strong aura of death and the scent of blood emanated from the castle, causing Loong Chen to furrow his brow.
Inhaling deeply, Loong Chen entered the castle.
“Who goes there?”
Upon approaching the castle, two yellow-eyed zombies spotted Loong Chen.
They had been stationed at the entrance, but Loong Chen made no effort to conceal himself. He boldly walked towards them.
That was why they discovered him.
Chen Yichan had previously informed Loong Chen that the zombies' strength seemed to correlate with the color of their pupils.
The green-eyed zombies were akin to King Level Early Stage human Evolvers.
Silver-eyed zombies matched King Level Late Stage and Peak human Evolvers.
As for the yellow-eyed zombie, it ranked one level below the green-eyed ones, possessing the strength of a Grandmaster.
Loong Chen, currently, confronted a Level 6 Grandmaster opponent without any difficulty.
He dispatched their heads with just two punches.
Following that, Loong Chen proceeded directly into the Bloody Castle.
“An intruder of human origin!”
As Loong Chen entered the castle, an alarm was triggered.
Dozens of zombies, with yellow and blue eyes, rushed toward Loong Chen.
“Earth Domain!”
Loong Chen bellowed in fury and unleashed the power of the Earth Domain.
In an instant, the gravitational force of the Earth Domain pinned down the dozens of zombies, and Loong Chen proceeded to eliminate them one by one.
Loong Chen spared only the last remaining yellow-eyed zombie. He seized its neck and questioned with a cold tone.
“Tell me the whereabouts of the humans you've captured.”
“I won't tell you.”
Before it could complete its sentence, Loong Chen crushed the zombie's head.
Loong Chen didn't have much time to extract information from them. He ascended to the second floor and encountered over a dozen yellow-eyed zombies and one green-eyed zombie.
Loong Chen drew his trident and activated the One Halberd Annihilation.
The dozen yellow-eyed zombies were swiftly dispatched, while the green-eyed zombie suffered severe injuries.
“Where have you imprisoned the humans you captured earlier?”
Loong Chen positioned the trident against the green-eyed zombie's throat and inquired sternly.
“On the top floor.”
The zombie provided Loong Chen with a direct answer.
Nevertheless, it met the same fate and perished.
“The top floor?”
Once he learned the location, Loong Chen didn't hesitate to make a move.
He invoked the Law of Space and in an instant, found himself on the top floor of the Bloody Castle.
The moment Loong Chen materialized, he found himself encircled by about a dozen green-eyed and silver-eyed zombies.
Loong Chen found himself hemmed in by a dozen King Level warriors, and he couldn't help but feel the weight of the situation.
Right then, his attention was abruptly drawn to the front, where five crosses stood tall.
Each cross held a person in restraint, with Dugu Lengyue positioned in the center!
