Chapter 1535: Not Fooled

"Absorb your souls, true essence, and flesh and blood, to restore my condition."

"Then use your Buddha Light Power to fight our way out of here!"

"The zombie said without hesitation."

"Buddha Light Power?"

"We don't have any!"

"Meng Zhangxing couldn't help but retort."

"Hehe," the zombie laughed again and continued, "You don't have any."

"But someone will eventually come looking for you!"

"After saying that, the zombie closed his eyes and rested beside them."

"They immediately realized the zombie wanted to use them as hostages, waiting for Ye Liyun and Ya to take the bait."

"Otherwise, he could have simply absorbed their power directly."

"They could feel that the zombie's soul and true essence were unaffected."

"It seems the formation here was set up by this zombie."

"Otherwise, it wouldn't be that only he is unaffected."

"Guo Da speculated in his mind."

"Are you so confident you can lure others in?"

"Meng Zhangxing continued to ask."

"They have no choice."

"If they want to live, this is the only path they can take!"

"The zombie said casually."

"Where does this road lead?"

"Meng Zhangxing asked again."

"The zombie suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Meng Zhangxing, hesitated a moment, then told him: 'Telling you makes no difference.'"

"The end of this road leads to that tombstone shaped like a mountain!"

"Anyone who enters has only a dead end."

"You are no exception!"

"Upon hearing that, Meng Zhangxing thought for a moment and snorted."

"You don't believe me?"

"The zombie countered."

"Of course I don't."

"If there's no way out, how do you plan to break through?"

"Meng Zhangxing laughed and retorted."

"The zombie said indifferently: 'As long as I have the Buddha Light Power, I have a way to get out.'"

"Meng Zhangxing originally wanted to pry some information out of him to learn how to leave this place."

"He didn't expect the zombie to not fall for it, not revealing any related information at all."

"Suddenly, the zombie gazed into the distance and said softly, 'Your companions have arrived quite quickly!'"

"Hearing his words, Meng Zhangxing and the others felt their hearts sink."

"They all thought at once: 'It's over; if Ye Liuyun comes in, he'll likely be restricted just like us!'"

"But they now have no way to send a message to Ye Liuyun."

"At this moment, Meng Zhangxing said to the zombie: 'We've found quite a few treasures in this Secret Realm; would you like to take a look?'"

"The zombie glanced at him and smiled: 'You want to use a Transmission Talisman to notify your companions?'"

"Meng Zhangxing's scheme was seen through; knowing it wouldn't work, he thought of another plan."

"The zombie laughed triumphantly: 'Even if you gathered all the treasures of the Sunset Mountain Range, they still wouldn't match mine!'"

"Meng Zhangxing looked around, saw no treasures, and stopped asking further."

"He now must devote all his effort to finding a way to warn Ye Liuyun not to come."

"When the zombie's Divine Sense detected Ye Liuyun, Ye Liuyun had already seen them."

"His Divine Sense only saw a few people chatting, with no sign of anything unusual."

"He also wondered why these people weren't contacting him, instead chatting with a zombie."

"At that moment, he suddenly saw Luo Yun's hand reach behind her, quietly writing on the ground."

"But since Luo Yun couldn't move and feared being discovered by the zombie, she could only write two characters, erase them, then write again."

"Yet Ye Liuyun still understood, and slowed his speed."

"The characters he saw were 'Formation restricts soul and true essence'—those eight characters."

"Ye Liuyun didn't see any formation around, so he stopped immediately."

"When the zombie saw Ye Liuyun stop, he also became nervous."

"The two stared at each other from afar, neither having decided how to deal with the other."

"What's wrong?"

"Ya's Divine Sense couldn't yet detect the zombie, so she asked Ye Liuyun."

"Ye Liuyun immediately used Divine Sense Transmission Voice to tell her the message Luo Yun had conveyed."

"What should we do?"

"Ya asked Ye Liuyun."

Can your Buddha Light Power deal with zombies?

Ye Liuyun asked A Ya.

The reason that person is said to be a zombie is because he has no breath, no heartbeat, cannot feel his body temperature, and his physical body is rotting.

His Soul and True Essence both exist within his body, and they can still be used.

"I'm not sure either whether my Buddha Light Power works on him."

"But I have a ferocious beast; blocking him for a moment shouldn't be too hard!"

Ye Liuyun, upon hearing that, also began to think of ways to deal with that zombie.

Afterwards, he gave A Ya a Defense Array Plate, taught her how to use it, and had her return to the entrance of the Secret Realm.

"Ride the ferocious beast back to the entrance of the Secret Realm."

"You don't need to leave the Secret Realm; just set up the Defense Array Plate there and wait for me—I'll think of a way to save them."

Ye Liuyun arranged for A Ya.

"I'd rather stay and fight that zombie with you—I'm not afraid of danger!"

A Ya said proactively.

"No, my method for dealing with that zombie is special and too powerful; if you're near me, I can't unleash it."

Ye Liuyun intended to use the power of heavenly thunder to directly blast open the formation set up by that zombie.

Since he couldn't find the formation, he would instead use heavenly thunder's power to cover everything comprehensively.

Therefore, the farther A Ya is from him, the safer she is.

Upon hearing that, A Ya knew staying would affect Ye Liuyun's performance, so she immediately left as he requested.

Seeing A Ya turn and leave, the zombie became restless, ignored Meng Zhangxing and the others, and flew straight at Ye Liuyun.

But after flying a distance, he stopped, not continuing forward, as if he had reached the boundary of the formation.

He shouted directly at Ye Liuyun: "Kid, are you ready to abandon these friends of yours?"

"Could this be the edge of that formation?"

Ye Liuyun guessed as much in his heart, but did not move closer.

In fact, the zombie was indeed deceiving him; he was still far from the formation's edge.

He deliberately made Ye Liuyun think he had stopped at the formation's edge to lure Ye Liuyun forward.

Unexpectedly, Ye Liuyun didn't fall for it; instead, he released a ferocious beast to lead the way from afar.

He walked until the ferocious beast felt its soul and true essence were restricted, then it stopped.

At that point, he also roughly figured out the formation's coverage.

"You kid, you're quite clever!"

The zombie praised him in a sentence.

Afterwards, he walked forward a distance, pointing at Meng Zhangxing and the others running over, and asked: "But what about those few people—are you just going to ignore them?"

Ye Liyun watched the few people running over, secretly delighted in his heart.

"If you get a bit closer, I can use Space Translocation to move you out."

"Stand still!"

But at that moment, the zombie casually slapped a palm toward the ground in front of the several people.

The strong True Essence impact sent the several people rolling over and over, spitting blood.
