Refining Oneself Into A Corpse

At the North City gate, flames soared into the sky as a group of people rode in on tall horses.

"Quick! Quick!" One person, taking the lead, spurred their horse and was the first to cross the city gate.

This was a robust woman with ordinary features and delicate skin. Her long hair fluttered in the wind, and she wore a black spirit master's uniform, which further accentuated her bravery.

Behind her were the constables of White Willow Town, following her towards the North City government office.

She was Bai Xu, the chief constable of White Willow Town.

She had known Feng Liuchen for a long time, and from the moment she met him, she secretly pledged her heart to him, vowing to marry none but Feng Liuchen.

However, Feng Liuchen at that time was only focused on developing Black Stone Town, and he felt quite helpless about this matter. All he could do was to minimize contact with her and avoid her whenever possible.

Bai Xu usually had to guard White Willow Town and couldn't frequently run to Black Stone Town. This time, she had finally waited for an opportunity.

Thinking that she would soon see Feng Liuchen again, Bai Xu couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.

The dozens of constables quickly entered the North City area and gradually disappeared at the end of the street.

"Heh heh, the one leading is Bai Xu, right? I didn't expect it to be her personally leading the team. I've heard Feng Liuchen mention her before. It seems she still has feelings for Feng Liuchen."

"However, Feng Liuchen is already dead. She is destined not to see him."

Chen Xing's figure emerged from a small alley, watching the direction in which the constables disappeared, and muttered to himself.

"It's time for me to leave. What a mess this Black Stone Town has become is no longer my concern. My purpose has been achieved." Chen Xing murmured, lightly tapped his toes, and then darted out of the North City gate of Black Stone Town, shooting towards White Willow Town.

He had to pass through White Willow Town on this trip.

Because there was a river between South River County and North River County, called Tide River.

It ran through the entire Great Wu Dynasty and was the mother river of the Great Wu Dynasty, which relied on this river for development.

The Tide River flowed through here, separating South River County and North River County. The river surface from White Willow Town to North River County was about a hundred miles wide, and one had to go to the ferry in White Willow Town to take a boat to reach the other side.

With Chen Xing's current strength, although he could swim across, there were too many unknown dangers in the river. He would not do so unless absolutely necessary.

Chen Xing hurried along the way, the corpse energy acting on his feet combined with the power of his physical body, making his speed even faster.

Now that he had the Nether Tri-Colored Lotus, he didn't care about this little bit of consumption at all.

This consumption was not as fast as the Yin energy produced by the Nether Tri-Colored Lotus for the Corpse Pearl to absorb.

In short, this consumption could be completely kept up with by the Corpse Pearl's replenishment, and he could always be in peak condition.

Black Stone Town was about twenty miles away from White Willow Town. With Chen Xing's speed, he would definitely be able to reach the White Willow Town ferry before dawn. Then, he would directly take a boat and leave. He had no intention of staying in White Willow Town.

At this moment, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the moon had disappeared.

The North City government office was surrounded by zombies.

When Bai Xu arrived here, the zombies were devouring the people here.

The people were in chaos, screaming, complaining, and resisting the zombies' attacks.

There were very few left. They could not see any hope, and living seemed to be an ordeal.

Bai Xu dismounted, flipped her hands, and each held a red-brown giant axe. Then, raging flames ignited on the axe bodies, and a gleam of light flashed on the axe blades. This was her killing move based on her own spiritual treasures - Raging Flame Wave-Breaking Axe.

She held the giant axes and swung them at the zombies at the entrance of the North City government office.

"Hoo..."

"Hoo..."

Two streams of flames instantly shot out from the axes, rushing towards the zombies at the entrance of the government office.

After this strike, the zombies at the entrance of the North City government office were instantly cleared, and Bai Xu also put away her killing move at this moment, summoning two flaming iron blades.

This figure was deeply imprinted in the hearts of the surviving people of the South City of Black Stone Town.

At this moment, Bai Xu descended like a savior, rekindling the spark of life in them.

"Quick battle, quick resolution!" Bai Xu's face sank and she said.

She took the lead and rushed into the middle of the corpse群.

The Raging Flame Blades rotated around her, and any zombies hit by the Raging Flame Blades would instantly ignite raging flames, engulfing them and burning them into charred corpses.

The constables of White Willow Town were not idle either, and followed Bai Xu to join the battlefield.

With Bai Xu, a three-turn spirit master, sitting in town, plus the large number of constables in White Willow Town, clearing these unformed zombies was only a matter of time.

At this moment, Bai Xu's face froze, and she saw an unusual zombie.

The hair on this zombie's body was much longer than those of the other zombies. Although his face had changed greatly, Bai Xu could still vaguely recognize his identity.

"Du Jiangliu!?" Bai Xu whispered.

Then, Du Jiangliu, no, it should be Long-Haired Zombie now.

The Long-Haired Zombie leaped up and jumped towards Bai Xu.

Bai Xu's face remained unchanged, and she raised her right index finger, and a Raging Flame Blade slowly stopped on it.

The flames on the Raging Flame Blade could not cause her any harm.

Then, she flicked her finger lightly, and the Raging Flame Blade instantly shot out, piercing the Long-Haired Zombie's head. Raging flames ignited on the Long-Haired Zombie's wound and gradually covered his entire body.

The Long-Haired Zombie struggled desperately and eventually turned into a charred corpse.

"Even Du Jiangliu could not escape this disaster? I wonder what the situation is in the central government office."

"Brother Feng, you must hold on!"

Bai Xu muttered in her heart.

At this moment, she saw a black-brown stone on the ground.

"Recording Stone?" Bai Xu picked up the Recording Stone and put it into a small cloth bag on her body.

"This Recording Stone should have been left by Du Jiangliu before his death. It must contain the reason why this place has become like this. I will put it away first and give it to Brother Feng later." Bai Xu thought.

Then, she looked at the battlefield again.

She brought a large number of people, almost bringing nearly 80% of the constables from White Willow Town.

These constables were numerous and almost formed an overwhelming force, pushing forward horizontally.

The reason why Black Stone Town fell was because no one could have imagined that Black Stone Town could erupt in such a disaster, catching them off guard. Another reason was that the combat power was too scattered and the number of zombies was huge.

The constables of Black Stone Town were scattered in three areas, and these three areas broke out on a large scale at the same time, which was also the fundamental reason why Black Stone Town fell so quickly.

Of course, there was another point, no one would have thought that someone would be so bold as to dare to do such a heinous thing.

Bai Xu glanced around and then joined the battlefield again.

The Raging Flame Blades flew around her, and every time she shot, several zombies would be burned into charred corpses.

At this moment, this place seemed to have become her slaughterhouse.

Finally, the zombie disaster here subsided, but very few of the people who survived were left.

The North City area was the most severely affected because Du Jiangliu died in battle, almost reaching the point of nine out of ten houses being empty.

Bai Xu looked at this scene, blinked her eyes, and a sour feeling surged into her heart, but she suppressed it.

"Leave half of the people to clean up the battlefield, count the casualties, and appease the remaining people. The rest of you, follow me." After Bai Xu finished speaking, she left the North City government office and went towards the central government office.

The rest of the people heard the words, left half of the people, and the other half followed.

At this moment, the battle in the central government office was also over.

The central government office looked like it was the least affected, even the gate of the government office had not been breached, but the ground in front of the government office had long been riddled with holes, and there were charred corpses everywhere, with a foul smell in the air.

When Bai Xu arrived, she happened to see this scene.

"Since that's the case, then the next thing is up to you." An old man said, turned and walked into the central government office. This person was the old man guarding the treasure cave.

Bai Xu came to the gate of the government office and cupped her hands and said: "Lord Li, I don't know why you are here?"

Lord Li was obviously stunned when he saw Bai Xu's arrival, and then said: "I received a case to investigate Wen Shi Old Ghost some time ago and came to Black Stone Town. During this period, I encountered the disappearance of Chief Feng, so I stayed to continue investigating the case."

"What?! Brother Feng is missing? When did it happen?" Bai Xu asked.

"It has been about half a month, I'm afraid it has already..." Lord Li did not say much.

Then he looked at Bai Xu, who was a little dazed, and asked: "By the way, how did you know about the affairs of Black Stone Town?"

Bai Xu heard the words, recovered, and told the story of the North City government office of Black Stone Town being breached, Du Jiangliu dying in battle, and sending someone to ask for reinforcements.

"In this way, the North City area is now safe. Chief Bai should go back as soon as possible." Lord Li said.

"Oh? Why?" Bai Xu showed a trace of incomprehension.

"I suspect that the fundamental purpose of the person who created the turmoil is to use the danger of Black Stone Town to lure you out, and then take the opportunity to leave South River County through the ferry of White Willow Town. At that time, if you want to conduct a strict pursuit of him, you may have to wait until three days later." Lord Li replied.

"I have already sent the news here to the Lord Prefect of South River County. It will take about a day for the Lord Prefect to send the news back to the imperial city. It will take about three days for the news to spread."

"At that time, not only my South River County, but I am afraid that the entire Great Wu Dynasty will hold a corpse extermination operation. At that time, the corpse path spirit masters of the entire Great Wu Dynasty will never have peace." Lord Li continued, he said his analysis.

"Okay, I will go back first. Remember to notify me as soon as possible if you have news of Brother Feng."

Bai Xu was not an unreasonable person. After listening to Lord Li's words, she immediately felt that she had fallen into a trap, but this was a conspiracy, impeccable.

If she came, she would have complied with that person's wishes. If she did not come, the North City of Black Stone Town would have completely fallen, and she would have been labeled as not being united and helping each other. After all, Black Stone Town had sent people to ask for help.
