Chapter 508: Father and Mother

The soul is the most mysterious part of a human, and there is not much recorded about it in the Heaven Gate.

However, Ye Bai has a portion of Soul Precious Liquid in his hand, and this precious liquid should be able to replace the efficacy of the Sun Moon Divine Pearl.

Moreover, the Heavenly Dew nurtured by the Sun Flower Immortal also has a certain benefit to the soul, and can make the physical body become more compact.

The greatest efficacy of the Sun Moon Divine Pearl, this heaven-sent treasure, is that it can allow a person or an Exotic Beast to break through a rank without any side effects.

Ye Bai then informed everyone of the location of Corpse City; it was only when they were very close to Corpse City that Paper Man Nan was able to sense its location, which could not help but make Paper Man Nan feel a trace of shame.

"There is a Yin Soul Heaven Lotus here; this is a seventh-rank heaven-sent treasure."

With the cooperation of the Sun Flower Immortal, Ye Bai carefully plucked the Yin Soul Heaven Lotus.

"Kuimulang, there is one thing I need to remind you of: the Barrier of Corpse City was set up personally by Mao Shiba, and once you go in, you cannot come back out."

"And if you sneak into Corpse City now, no matter how careful you are, you will be sensed by Mao Shiba."

"From the moment you enter Corpse City, you will be exposed."

"By the way, the former Kuimulang and Heart Moon Fox are looking for you."

"He stayed inside Corpse City for nearly eight years."

"He has a considerable understanding of Corpse City; if you want to deal with Mao Shiba, it is best to join forces."

Ye Bai nodded.

"Alright, is everyone ready?"

"We are preparing to rush into Corpse City."

Ye Bai looked at everyone; he really wanted to know what kind of sacred beings the former Kuimulang and Heart Moon Fox were, to actually make the Azure Dragon Marshal and Yellow Dragon Marshal never stop thinking of them.

"By the way, to prevent us from being separated after teleporting into Corpse City, after we enter, we will use the Sound Transmission Gu directly to locate each other; everyone find a prominent building."

"This is a Clone of the Sun Flower Immortal, which has a restraining effect on zombies; if you encounter an enemy, you can immediately deploy the Clone."

"The Clone can use Holy Light Illumination and Holy Light Protection to safeguard everyone's safety."

"I wish everyone all the best."

Ye Bai stepped into the entrance of Corpse City—a high-speed rotating vortex gate.

He felt a suction force attacking him, and his body was pulled through involuntarily.

Ten Thousand Corpse Cave.

This is the dojo established by Mao Shiba for numerous zombie fellow Daoists and powerful zombies.

Here, Mao Shiba set up the Yin Sha Great Array, which can gather the Yin Sha Qi of the entire Bei Mang Mountain Range to assist in his own cultivation.

At this moment, Mao Shiba suddenly opened his eyes and said to the zombie beside him: "A mouse has snuck into Corpse City."

"Hurry and find the trace of the mouse; do not affect the Zombie Moon Worship Ceremony, as this concerns our success or failure."

The zombie serving Mao Shiba was wearing a Daoist robe and seemed to be a contemporary of Mao Shiba.

"I understand; leave it to this old one."

"You can rest assured and prepare; the net we have laid has already been spread, and it is time to close the net."

"Mao Shiba, do not forget your promise, otherwise we will disregard everything to block your Dao."

"My power alone might not be able to defeat you, but what about all the fellow Daoists here?"

"Not all zombies have been planted with a servant mark by you and are driven by you."

Mao Shiba nodded: "Rest assured, fellow Daoist, I, Mao Shiba, keep my word."

The zombie walked out holding a horsetail whisk.

At this time, Ye Canghai was returning from the Ten Thousand Corpse Cave, and just as he was about to return to the bottom of the well, a commotion suddenly came from nearby.

Countless zombies were howling in a group.

Ordinary people, upon hearing the group howling of zombies, would think this was just the sound of zombies and had no deep meaning.

But for Ye Canghai, who had lived in Corpse City for as long as eight years and was level ten in zombie language, he naturally heard what the zombies were saying.

"Quick, that human ran over there; he wounded many of our brothers."

"Chase quickly, otherwise we cannot answer to the Daoist priest."

Ye Canghai originally did not want to meddle in other people's business, but after thinking of Paper Man Nan's instructions, he knew that this batch of people who entered were the elite of Yan Country, so he stomped his foot fiercely and rushed out.

Ye Bai was somewhat puzzled.

How did he land right in a zombie nest as soon as he came in?

Countless zombies were jumping up like grasshoppers.

The Nether Hell Wolf casually unleashed a burst of Hell Fire, causing countless zombies to howl in agony as they were burned.

Some weaker zombies were directly burned to ashes by the Hell Fire.

This completely enraged the zombies; like a poked hornet's nest, countless zombies swarmed toward Ye Bai like a tide.

"Heaven-Swallowing Pelican, Teleportation."

The Heaven-Swallowing Pelican directly took Ye Bai and fled from there.

It was just that Corpse City was only so big, and quite a few zombies could fly themselves.

So his trail was quickly exposed.

"Phew, Ye Bai, I see you; why are there so many baring-fanged and brandishing-claw zombies chasing you?" Yun Luo was relatively lucky.

She appeared directly in an empty coffin, and the surrounding zombies were attracted away by Ye Bai.

"I entered a zombie nest as soon as I teleported; I didn't want to either."

"There is no other way."

"However, while I attract the zombies' attention, you all quickly rendezvous."

"Lan Fa, you are responsible for splitting off Mirror Clones, and let the zombies capture your Clones."

"Zhang Yuelu, you use the Breath-Concealing Gu to protect everyone's safety."

"Lady Bat, be ready to teleport at any moment."

Ye Bai arranged everyone directly and secretly had the Myriad Change Butterfly create six Clones to distract everyone's attention.

He then quietly hid in a corner, avoiding the Pursuit of the zombies.

At this moment, something was thrown over.

"Kid, I am the former Kuimulang, this is a mask stripped from the skin of a zombie's face."

"After putting it on, the zombies will no longer be able to sense your existence."

A very familiar voice rang out in Ye Bai's ears; Ye Bai simply could not believe his own eyes.

Ah, isn't this Dad's voice?

Could it be?

A thought arose in Ye Bai's mind.

At this time, Ye Bai suddenly remembered the words Zhang Tian'an had said to him.

Her older sister was the former Heart Moon Fox; after she experienced Rebirth, she heard that her sister once had a child.

My dad is the former Kuimulang, my mom is the former Heart Moon Fox, and Zhang Tian'an is my aunt.

And I am that child of the Heart Moon Fox.

So that's how it is.

Why had Dad and Mom been missing for so long?

It was because Mom nearly perished together with the Blood Saint back then, leaving behind sequelae.

"Hey, what are you standing there stupidly for? Hurry up and put on the zombie mask."

Ye Canghai practically roared.

This generation of the Twenty-Eight Mansions is truly too difficult to lead.

Ye Bai seized the time to hand over the mask; this mask seemed to have been treated by Dad, as it was completely devoid of any fishy stench.

"Follow me quickly."

Ye Bai followed behind Ye Canghai, scurrying everywhere in the alleys, and finally arrived at the bottom of a well.

"How are you serving as one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions? How can you space out in front of the enemy?"

Ye Canghai nagged and criticized.

Ye Bai did not refute him, but instead silently took off the mask, revealing his true face.

The moment he saw Ye Bai's face, Ye Canghai was also stunned.

His throat choked up: "Are you Xiaobai?"

"You've grown so big."

Ever since Ye Bai was born, Ye Canghai had never cried.

But at this moment, he could no longer hold it back; tears fell onto the ground drop by drop, quickly accumulating into a small puddle.

"Sorry, Dad thought I would be able to go back soon."

"But I ended up being trapped in Corpse City for a full eight years."

"Child, you lived alone for so long, do you blame me?"

Watching his own dad crying uncontrollably.

Ye Bai said indifferently: "Originally I would have, but I made myself get used to it."

"I have a group of very good Pet Beasts; they accompany me as I grow up just like family."

"Dad, seeing that you are safe and sound, I am truly so happy."

"I have never blamed Dad and Mom."

"Our family being able to be safe and sound is my greatest dream."

"What is Mom's situation now?"

Ye Bai asked Ye Canghai.

"She is currently in a state of soul-loss; she doesn't remember any memories regarding you."

"The only person she remembers now is your aunt."

"I heard she also followed into Corpse City this time; we must find her quickly."

"Mao Shiba is about to come out of seclusion; once he comes out, all the zombies in Corpse City will be controlled by him."

Ye Canghai said with an anxious look.

"By the way, who is the Kuimulang of your generation?"

"Do you have my style from back then? Have you gathered the Sun Moon Sky Wolf Blade?"

"At that time, I was too heavily injured; I could only watch helplessly as the lower half of the Sun Moon Sky Wolf Blade was taken away by agents from the Beautiful Country."

"Your mom also used a forbidden technique again because of that time to save me, which caused even greater harm."

"It is I who have failed your mom, and failed the Yan Country."

Ye Canghai said with immense shame.

"I have already retrieved the Sun Moon Sky Wolf Blade."

Ye Bai snapped his fingers, and the Sun Moon Sky Wolf appeared one after another.

They prostrated on the ground, stretching their heads toward Ye Canghai.

"Good brothers."

Ye Canghai stroked their heads.

"Eighteen years, it has been eighteen years since we separated."

"I have never been able to forget you all."

"Fortunately, you were found by Ye Bai, otherwise I would have felt guilty for a lifetime."

"Moreover, I am now the former Kuimulang."

"Yellow Dragon Marshal has already successfully repaired Kuimulang's exclusive Soul Weapon, the Heavenly Wolf Claw."

"The Sun Moon Sky Wolf Blade was originally the Soul Weapon of the Big Dipper's Greedy Wolf, and my current position is Greedy Wolf."

"I have another identity, which is the next-generation successor of Heaven Gate."

After Ye Canghai heard Ye Bai's words, he felt a bit guilty, but more than that, he felt proud.

"Ye Bai has grown up, and your mother and I missed the most important experiences of your life."

"I am truly very guilty."

Just at this moment, Zhang Aiyu walked out.

"Old Ye, I just heard you muttering here, what exactly are you doing?"

"How did an outsider suddenly get in here?"

"Who is he?"

The moment Zhang Aiyu looked at Ye Bai, tears fell from her eyes uncontrollably and dripped onto the ground.

"So familiar, truly so familiar, but I just cannot remember who you are."

At this time, Ye Canghai walked over and grabbed Zhang Aiyu's hand.

"He is our son, Ye Bai."

After hearing this, Zhang Aiyu's pupils contracted violently.

Countless fragments emerged from her mind.

"I remember now, I remember everything."

Zhang Aiyu became extremely agitated at this moment.

"Ye Bai, your father and I both missed those years of your growth."

Zhang Aiyu cried and laughed at the same time, but Ye Bai knew she could not be emotionally agitated.

"Sun Flower Immortal, use Heavenly Dew."

Ye Bai directly summoned the Sun Flower Immortal and used the golden Heavenly Dew to drip onto the center of Zhang Aiyu's brows.

Her spirit recovered somewhat at this time.

"Why do I feel like I have lived in a daze for so many years?"

"What exactly happened to me?"

Zhang Aiyu beat her own head desperately; she felt like a complete stranger to herself.

"Yu'er, there is good news to tell you."

"Your younger sister has come back to life and has also arrived here at Corpse City."

"We will meet very soon."

"Your son's current position is even higher than both of ours."

"He is now the Greedy Wolf among the Big Dipper, an existence mentioned in the same breath as the Twelve Pillars of the Nation."

Ye Canghai said with incomparable excitement.

"However, no matter what achievements Ye Bai has attained, we as parents are still very much failures; we have been absent for too many years."

Zhang Aiyu could not help but cry again.

"Father, Mother, do not worry about me; I have always been doing very well."

"Do you remember that pot of sunflowers?"

"This Sun Flower Immortal is that very sunflower."

"Under the protection of it and another Pet Beast, I have lived until now."

"I must thank you for giving me life."

"I will never blame you."

"All I hope for is for the family to be safe and sound."

"The greatest joy I gained from entering Corpse City this time is seeing you."

"Knowing that you are still alive makes me very happy."

Just at this moment, two balls of light emerged from the mouth of the Sun Moon Sky Wolf Blade.

They submerged into the brows of Zhang Aiyu and Ye Canghai.

"This is?"

A primitive long spear suddenly appeared in Ye Canghai's hand.

He suddenly trembled all over, and a massive aura instantly erupted from his body.

However, he still remembered that this was Corpse City, so he hurriedly suppressed the aura that was about to break through.

"Ye Bai, I am about to break through to the eighth rank."

"The aura of my breakthrough just now must have been sensed by Mao Shiba."

"Take your mother and leave here."

"I will block for you first; after I break through, I will be right back."

Ye Canghai brandished the Broken Army Spear and directly smashed through the ground to rush out.

At this time, Mao Shiba slowly opened his eyes.

How could someone in Corpse City be breaking through to the eighth rank?

How could this be possible?

A perfectly fine Zombie Worshiping the Moon, how did so many variables appear?

Why is it so difficult for me to break through to the eighth rank?

"Hmph, since that is the case, I shall also begin my breakthrough; let us see who breaks through first."

"If I am first, then I will have no choice but to use you as a sacrifice."

In any case, if Mao Shiba fails his breakthrough, the entire Corpse City will cease to exist.

Then let us have a competition to see who breaks through first.

"Zombie Worshiping the Moon!!!"

A silvery-white ball of light instantly appeared high in the sky, and screams rang out from among the direct descendants of the Mao Family.

Ahhh!
