“Okay!” Liu Xiling nodded, and then followed Ye Feng away from this strange place.

As for why it's described as eerie.

Because Ye Feng keenly observed that although there was sunlight-like radiance here, the villagers didn't even have shadows under this light. If no one was there, it could be understood that there was something special about this place.

However, the fact that both he and Liu Xiling have shadows speaks volumes.

If Ye Feng's guess is correct, those people were probably already dead, and the human forms they manifested were likely just vengeful spirits.

However, it seems that Liu Xiling did not notice this, and in order not to affect her mood, Ye Feng did not say anything.

We passed through the third cave from the left, as the old man had mentioned.

Ye Feng and Liu Xiling continued deeper into the narrow passage, where they encountered some zombies. Ye Feng used Lei Ji to blast them all into charred remains.

Then, the two entered a small cave, which was densely filled with many things wrapped with white silk threads!

"This is evolution!" Liu Xiling exclaimed. "These are the process of ordinary zombies evolving into white zombies! If they are allowed to hatch, they will all turn into white zombies!"

These words were spoken.

Night Wind acted decisively, delivering a devastating blow. The terrifying lightning descended like the end of the world, wantonly destroying everything here. In just three seconds, it blasted the evolved zombies into dust.

"Phew!" Liu Xiling looked at the terrifying lightning, patted her chest with lingering fear, and said, "What terrifying power! Could it be that you have already refined this flying sword?"

"Not yet, I've only refined about 30%." Ye Feng shook his head, then looked at the thunder in his hand and said.

"Thirty percent!" Liu Xiling's eyes widened in disbelief. "You've already refined thirty percent in such a short time?"

"Is this speed fast?" Ye Feng asked, puzzled.

Liu Xiling sighed and said, "You're simply a genius in swordsmanship! Back then, after the Azure Sword Immortal obtained the flying sword, it took him a full three years to fully refine it. Yet you refined 30% of it in just two or three days? That's terrifying!"

"It's alright." Ye Feng didn't think anything of it; on the contrary, he felt that things were a bit slow.

If he can find a quiet place to recuperate, the process will only be faster.

Liu Xiling was so angry at Ye Feng that she gritted her teeth. How could there be such a big difference between people?

Continue along the road.

Not long after.

The two then saw a strange building.

It is like a tower, towering high, and entirely black. The bricks and stones used to build it seem to be swirling around it, making it look extremely impactful.

It's less of a tower and more of a nest pieced together from various materials.

"This must be where the ancestor lived, right?" Ye Feng stepped forward, looked up at the top, and said.

“Definitely!” Liu Xiling looked around and said, “There are no other passages, so it’s obvious that this is the last place, unless we take a different passage.”

Ye Feng then pointed to a building that looked like a shrine next to them and asked, "What's that for?"

"Why don't we go take a look?" Liu Xiling asked.

The two quickly arrived at the ancestral hall and opened the ancient gate. Immediately, a mournful roar rang out.

A zombie covered in hair lunged at Liu Xiling in an instant.

Ye Feng reacted swiftly, immediately drawing his Thunder Blade and slashing it down!

"Sizzle!" The lightning bolt pierced through the zombie's left shoulder, severing a large chunk of flesh.

The zombie cried out in pain and then ran away in a panic.

Liu Xiling hurriedly reminded, "This is a hairy zombie! Its strength is at least at the Separation and Union Realm!"

"Kill him the same way." Ye Feng replied simply, then used his spiritual power to control Lei Ji and thrust it towards Mao Jiang's back!

How could a mere zombie at the Separation and Union Realm possibly outrun a flying sword?

In an instant, Lei Ji cleaved Mao Jiang's body in two, followed by a terrifying burst of lightning, which sent blood and flesh flying everywhere.

Liu Xiling covered her nose, not wanting to smell the pungent odor, while also looking around to see if there were any more hairy zombies hiding in the shadows.

As a result, the two turned the ancestral hall upside down, but found no second hairy zombie or other zombies.

Seeing this, Ye Feng said to Liu Xiling, "You can stay here from now on. I'll go to the Black Nest to find the Primordial Ancestor. I'll come back for you after I kill it."

"No!" Liu Xiling shook her head. "What if the situation inside is terrible? And what if there are hidden zombies nearby?"

Night Wind shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I've already scouted the area. There are no zombies nearby, and the Black Nest isn't as bad as you think. With me here, nothing will go wrong."

"Alright, alright." Ye Feng then waved his hand, stood up, and said to Liu Xiling, "Since you haven't made up your mind yet, just wait here patiently. I'll go investigate the situation at Black Nest."

"No, I have to go too!" Liu Xiling immediately ran to Ye Feng's side and grabbed his sleeve.

Night Wind refused, saying, "No, I can sense a terrifying presence inside that Black Nest. You'd better just stay here and wait!"

"I want to go, I want to go!" Liu Xiling said coquettishly.

Night Breeze patted her shoulder and said, "I will inform you immediately if anything happens. Also, I am missing someone to help me from the inside. In case there is no teleportation array inside, I can escape on my own. If you are in danger, just call me through the jade token that Danggui gave me."

"Oh, okay then!" Liu Xiling reluctantly let go of Ye Feng's sleeve, then walked to the side in a very dejected manner and fell silent.

Ye Feng sighed helplessly as he looked at Liu Xiling, but the current situation was indeed quite troublesome to bring her along. The main problem was that her strength at the Separation and Union Realm was completely useless in this situation!

The impact of psychological problems is something that cultivators should also face.

Otherwise, the slightest mistake would mean certain death!

Ye Feng left the ancestral hall and then turned his gaze to the Black Nest not far away.

"Once we kill Yuanzu, it should be over, right?"

Night Breeze took a deep breath, then his figure flashed and he quickly left the spot. His speed began to increase so much that even ordinary people could only see a blurry afterimage with the naked eye, just like a gentle breeze brushing past him.
