Chapter 457: Hunting Jiangchen

Renjiazhen, night.

After Jiushu, Ye Wen, Ma Danna, and Tony had a brief chat, they prepared to part ways.

And because the matters in Renjiazhen had been dealt with, there was no longer any need to stay here.

At the moment of parting, Jiushu suddenly thought of something. He asked, "Miss Ma, this Taoist remembers that the Exorcist Clan only appears in the world when the world is in chaos and evil spirits emerge; the rest of the time, they live in seclusion. Why have you come to Renjiazhen?"

Hearing this, Ma Danna smiled slightly and asked in return:

"Daoist Master Lin, does the world not count as being in chaos right now?"

Jiushu was taken aback, shook his head, and said:

"It is chaotic, very chaotic. Nowadays, warlords are carving up the land, each acting as their own master; the common people live in misery, and the true mandate of the Son of Heaven has been lost. It is truly a time of turmoil for Shenzhou, sigh."

Regarding this, Ye Wen felt the deepest emotion.

If he had not intercepted the little Sakura at the coast, he feared the world would be even more chaotic now, and the common people would suffer even more.

Having joined the Chat Group, Ye Wen naturally knew what was about to happen in his own era.

In other parallel timelines, war raged, millions perished in this turmoil, bones piled up like snow, and snow fell in the sixth month.

"The trend of the world is that it must divide after long unity, and unite after long division," said the Bad Commander.

As an immortal who had witnessed the Great Tang go from prosperity to decline, he was accustomed to the sorrow of life and death.

Ma Danna nodded and said:

"Actually, I came out this time not just to exorcise zombies. You may not know, but my Ma Family of the Exorcist Clan actually has a very deep connection with the Jiangshi King Jiangchen, dating back thousands of years."

"Jiangshi King Jiangchen? Could it be that legendary Zombie Progenitor?" said Jiushu.

In the classics of the Daomen, there were quite a few records regarding the Jiangshi King Jiangchen.

This was an existence that was immortal and indestructible, with unfathomable strength; he was simply not comparable to these little zombies of later generations.

"Yes, because Jiangchen is immortal and indestructible, my Ma Family's duty is to seal the Jiangshi King Jiangchen. Now, time has passed and a thousand years have gone by. Jiangchen is about to awaken once more. After he awakens, the world will surely be plunged into a bloodbath," said Ma Danna.

"Could it be that Jiangchen has already awakened? I wonder if there is any way I can be of service," said Jiushu.

Ye Wen frowned; he had already received the latest news about Jiangchen from the Group Owner.

This was a very formidable existence; although not a true mythological being, his strength was already at the peak of Renjian.

Ma Danna shook her head again, looked up at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky, her gaze melancholy, and said:

"According to the predictions of the Ma Family elders, the Jiangshi King Jiangchen has not yet awakened. I only followed Jiangchen's aura to find Renjiazhen.

I imagine Jiangchen must be within a thousand miles of here."

"A newly awakened Jiangchen has less than half of his peak strength and needs to drink blood to increase his power."

"This moment is the best time to seal him."

As she finished speaking, the bell at Ma Danna's waist shook continuously, emitting a tinkling sound. At the same time, she took an ancient compass from her bosom; the needle on the compass swung back and forth, finally pointing to the northeast.

"What is this?" asked Jiushu.

"This is the Ma Family's magical artifact, the Yin-Yang Wuji Bagua Compass, specifically used to track the Jiangshi King Jiangchen. According to the compass, this Jiangchen is about to revive, and he is in the northeast direction," said Ma Danna.

"Miss Ma, that northeast direction is mostly mountains and hills, with few people. Looking for the Jiangshi King Jiangchen there is like looking for a needle in a haystack," said Jiushu.

"Ye can help," said Ye Wen.

"Ye Shifu? How will you help?" asked Jiushu curiously.

"Old man, you don't know. Ye Shifu's eyes are the Thousand-Mile Eyes; everything within his sight has nowhere to hide," said Feng Baobao.

"Thousand-Mile Eyes??" Jiushu.

Ma Danna was also curious; Thousand-Mile Eyes, wasn't that the ability of an immortal?

"Ye Shifu's eyes are indeed powerful," said Tony.

"Miss Ma, point out a direction, and Ye will search for you," said Ye Wen.

Although shocked and doubtful, Ma Danna still locked onto an extremely precise direction and told him.

Ye Wen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked in that direction. At this moment, all things appeared in his eyes, extremely clear and profound; from large mountains and rivers to small mud and debris, everything was clear at a glance.

Possessing the purest Superman Bloodline, Thousand-Mile Eyes, Super Hearing, and X-Ray Vision were all basic abilities.

Ye Wen's gaze radiated outward, his pupils releasing golden light. Ten miles, twenty miles, fifty miles, one hundred miles, three hundred miles... until after eight hundred miles, he finally detected movement in a mountainous area.

Through X-Ray Vision, Ye Wen saw a humanoid object in the soil. It had no temperature, but the intensity of its heartbeat was extremely exaggerated, raging like a thunderclap. Dark clouds gathered in the sky, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, as if a great evil was being born.

In Ye Wen's sight, the clothing on the Jiangshi King Jiangchen had long since rotted away, but the body remained indestructible and covered in thick hair, with two fangs at the mouth that were extremely conspicuous.

Seeming to sense the prying, the originally closed-eyed Jiangchen suddenly opened his eyes, a pair of scarlet pupils emitting a soul-stirring mental pressure.

Even an existence like Ye Wen, upon seeing such scarlet eyes, could not help but retreat, feeling a lingering fear.

"What is it, Ye Shifu?" Ma Danna asked hurriedly.

Ye Wen said slowly, "He is worthy of being the Zombie King; this mental power is indeed profound."

For a Superman, mental power was indeed a weak point.

But back in the world of Xiao Shi, with Xuanzang's help, Ye Wen had devoured the Primordial Spirit of the Venerable Realm Devouring Sparrow, which had greatly enhanced his mental power.

Invisibly, the Superman's weakness had been compensated for.

But at this moment, Ye Wen still felt extremely powerful mental pressure from Jiangchen.

"Miss Ma, I have not failed the mission; Ye has found Jiangchen."

Ye Wen then told Ma Danna the situation.

"About eight hundred miles to the northeast, under a mountain, is where Jiangchen lies dormant.

However, looking at his state, he should have already awakened."

"Eight hundred miles." Ma Danna's expression was distressed.

At such a long distance, she would need at least a week of traveling day and night to reach it.

"I fear that by the time I arrive, Jiangchen will have long since vanished."

"Miss Ma, this is not a big problem, I can take you flying," Tony said.

After speaking, Tony took out another set of the standard Mark Steel Armor and introduced it:

"Put this on, and Feitian Didi, traveling ten thousand miles a day is easy and simple."

"If help is needed, I, Ye Wen, can also take Miss Ma flying," Ye Wen said.

"Ye Shifu, you are a married man after all," Zhang Sanfeng teased.

"Everyone, why not take this poor Daoist along? Although my Taoism is not as good as Miss Ma's, I can still contribute a meager effort," Jiushu said.

"Daoist Priest Lin, the strength of the Jiangshi King Jiangchen is no small matter," Ma Danna warned.

"I'm going to eat melon!" Feng Baobao said.

"Wherever Bao'er Jie goes, I go."

Xiao Shi said; he felt that by following Bao'er Jie, he could always learn some strange but useful knowledge.

"Sister didn't dote on you in vain! Eat melon!" Feng Baobao said.

"Commander, what is your take?" Zhang Sanfeng asked.

"Since we are already here, wouldn't it be a pity not to go and see?" the Bad Commander said.

"That makes sense," Zhang Sanfeng laughed.
