Yang Yitian affixed a concealment talisman to the flying spirit boat, and the entire boat disappeared into thin air.

None of the people on the flying spirit ship noticed anything unusual.

Yang Yitian waved his hand: "Let's go!"

The flying spirit boat took flight under his control.

The people sitting on the flying spirit boat were surprised as their feet swayed.

"Flying, flying!?" Zhang Hong opened his mouth in disbelief! He felt that Yang Yitian's ability was too great!

The others had never experienced such treatment before, and they were all pleasantly surprised.

The flying artifact took off rapidly. Some people raised their hands and waved them, but didn't feel any gust of wind on their faces. Everyone found it incredibly amazing.

Of course, Yang Yitian used his spiritual energy to isolate the airflow, leaving only a few bumpkins who had never seen cultivation lamenting that the wind couldn't reach them.

After hearing Yang Yitian's explanation, they were no longer afraid of being exposed to Pei Xiong Yi.

Yang Yitian thought they were really spineless. He could beat even ten Pei Xiongyis, let alone one! But the most important thing right now was to ensure the safety of his family. Going back quietly was the most important thing.

Guided by Yang Yijie, Yang Yitian flew directly through the base gate and into the base.

After stopping in the residential area, Yang Yitian cast a spell to make everyone around them ignore them, and then everyone went up to the building where they lived.

Yang Yijie knocked on his own door.

"Who is it?" came a middle-aged woman's voice from inside.

Yang Yitian replied, "Mom, it's me, A-Jie."

The door opened, and a well-maintained middle-aged woman appeared: "Ah Jie, you're back from your mission?"

"Let's go inside first," Yang Yijie said, leading a group of people into the living room. (Yu Xi reads Jia.)

In the living room were Yang Yitian and Yang Yijie's father. The space was fairly spacious, and everyone sat down.

When Yang's mother saw Yang Yitian, she was somewhat surprised. This person looked so much like her youngest son. She wanted to ask about Yang Yitian's identity, but there were too many people present, so it was not convenient to ask now.

Yang Yijie said, "Something has come up, and we'll have to go out again in a bit."

After confirming that Yang's parents were still safe, Yang Yijie and Yang Yitian were relieved.

After looking around, Yang Yijie asked, "Where's Xiao Cen?"

Yang Yicen is the youngest sister in the family. When Yang Yitian heard Yang Yijie's question, he also scanned the room with his divine sense and confirmed that the person was not in this suite. He couldn't help but frown.

Yang's mother said, "Xiao Cen went out on a mission yesterday and should not be back for another two days."

Yang Yijie thought to himself, "This is bad! It's not safe for Xiao Cen to be out alone! I'll go look for him in a bit!"

"Brother Hong, you guys go back first and bring your families to my house. It'll be safer that way," Yang Yijie said to Zhang Hong and the others.

This was indeed the best solution for their current situation, and the group immediately agreed and returned home.

After everyone had left, Yang Yitian immediately called out, "Dad! Mom! I'm home!"

Yang Yitian's appearance is about 80-90% similar to his original appearance. His shout caught his parents completely off guard.

Yang Yitian explained his experience again. When Yang's mother learned that her son had been found, she was so excited that her eyes reddened. However, before the two could have a proper conversation, Yang Yitian had to go out to look for his sister.

Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yijie planned to kidnap Pei Xiongyi to prevent him from causing any more trouble.

Yang Yitian acted quickly. He used Yang Yijie's blood to find his own Yang Yicen, who was already tied up, along with his two friends.

Yang Yitian arrived just in time. After rescuing the person, he contacted Qi Zhiheng.

Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian had a communication jade slip. After learning that Yang Yicen was safe, Qi Zhiheng immediately took action and tied up Pei Xiongyi and his men who were still in the base.

This move was quite significant and attracted a lot of attention. Qiu Ping went there immediately, feeling somewhat uneasy and wondering if Yang Yijie had found outside help and was planning to take over the base.

However, he quickly came to terms with it. He was originally the one with the lowest superpower level among the three leaders. If he had fallen into Yang Yijie's hands, he might have been able to save his life. But if he had fallen into Pei Xiongyi's hands, he would have been killed since he didn't have the ability to heal people.

Once he understood the key point, he felt much more at ease.

When Yang Yitian returned with his sister, Qi Zhiheng had already imprisoned Pei Xiongyi and his group of men.

Next, they discussed how to deal with Pei Xiong Yi and the others.

This put Yang Yijie in a dilemma. If he killed Pei Xiong Yi and his subordinates, the base's combat power would be greatly reduced. If the next zombie siege occurred, the remaining ability users might not be able to withstand so many zombies. However, if he kept Pei Xiong Yi, he would not be a peaceful person. He had contributed to the base for so long, but he only wanted to obtain the highest power in the base and enslave ordinary people.

If Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian could stay at the base, these problems would naturally be solved. However, the problem is that Yang Yitian and Qi Zhiheng are both returning from the cultivation world, and they won't stay on Earth for very long.

Yang Yitian was actually thinking that since he was going to take his family away anyway, it didn't seem to matter to them what happened at this base.

But Yang Yijie was originally the heir of the Yang family, and he was extremely steady and responsible. It was impossible for him to just abandon this base.

This has created a bit of a dilemma.

Qi Zhiheng said, "Since they are afraid of zombies, why not find a way to solve the zombie problem? Although there are still many strange beasts outside, these beasts should all have their own territories and will not easily cross them. As long as humans do not disturb them, there will be no more danger."

Yang Yitian was somewhat surprised: "You have a way to deal with zombies?"

Qi Zhiheng said, "Not for now."

Yang Yitian was speechless: "You made it sound so easy for me, I thought you could handle it right away! You made me happy for nothing."

Qi Zhiheng said, "There is indeed no solution yet, because I haven't had much contact with zombies. I'll go out and take a look in a bit to find out the reason why these zombies are formed. Once we find the reason, it will be much easier to solve."

"Then I'll go out with you? When are we leaving?" Yang Yitian was a little impatient. They had been out for several days, and they wanted to finish their business as soon as possible and go back.

Qi Zhiheng said, "We can leave now, but you'd better set up a defensive formation for the base to prevent zombies from besieging the city while we're away. If it's destroyed when we come back, that would be a huge joke."

"Okay! I'll go now." Yang Yitian didn't have to do much. He already had a defensive array plate, and setting up a simple array was no problem as long as he used the array plate.

After finishing these tasks, they explained the purpose of their trip to Yang Yijie and then left.

As for whether someone would come to rescue Pei Xiong Yi after they left, they weren't worried at all; the Immortal Binding Ropes binding them weren't so easy to break free of.

Qi Zhiheng led Yang Yitian away and entered the town closest to the base.

There were still quite a few zombies roaming the town. Qi Zhiheng went straight up and used his spiritual power to subdue several of them.

His divine sense probed the body structure of these zombies, and he tested about a dozen of them.

Yang Yitian leaned forward and asked, "How did it go? What were the results?"

Qi Zhiheng nodded: "I have some ideas."

Yang Yitian asked impatiently, "What are your thoughts?"

"I think I understand why these zombies can still move even though they're dead," Qi Zhiheng continued to explain. "These so-called zombies, after death, their souls failed to leave their bodies, and due to various factors, they became somewhat frenzied, leading to their cannibalistic behavior."

What's the reason?

"The spiritual energy of this world is reviving, but this burst of spiritual energy is also mixed with something else. I can feel this thing in the air. If I'm not mistaken, it should be a kind of turbid energy that has undergone a certain mutation. The existence of this mutation has caused the souls of these worlds to go mad, affecting the gate connecting this world to the underworld, causing the souls of Earth to be unable to reach the underworld."

"Is there a solution?" Yang Yitian's eyes darted around a few times.

Qi Zhiheng said, "There are naturally ways. The passage to the underworld should only be temporarily closed. Once the matter on this earth dissipates, the underworld will probably reopen."

"Is this some kind of quarantine?" Yang Yitian couldn't help but think of the various lockdowns and quarantines that had occurred during previous viral infections. Now, it seemed like the underworld had even closed the gates of the netherworld.

It is estimated that if this kind of turbid air on Earth, which can aggravate the resentment of wandering souls, were to flow into the underworld, it would probably infect many ghosts and drive them insane.

"Wait, you said we have to wait for the turbid energy from the mutation to dissipate before we can open the Underworld? Does that mean we'll waste a lot of time here?" Yang Yitian frowned involuntarily.

Qi Zhiheng said, "We can purify the souls of the dead on Earth first. Leave that to me; I'll perform the rituals to help them pass on. Once the souls leave their bodies, we can temporarily collect them and send them to the underworld in another small world."

"Where would you put it? Are you planning to put all the souls into your spatial storage? I refuse! Such disgusting things shouldn't be put into your spatial storage." Yang Yitian said with a look of disgust.

Qi Zhiheng: "I'm not putting it into my spatial storage. I have a magical artifact, have you forgotten?"

"What kind of magical artifact?" Yang Yitian was completely confused by the question. He didn't seem to have ever seen Qi Zhiheng actually use any powerful magical artifact.

Qi Zhiheng took out a small round disc and said, "The Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc."

Yang Yitian focused his attention on the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc: "This? Didn't you say it was half-crippled? What can it be used for?"

Qi Zhiheng nodded in agreement: "This is indeed a flawed spiritual artifact, and after I purified it with Buddhist light, even the attack skills of this Six Paths Reincarnation Disc were washed away."

Yang Yitian stared blankly at Qi Zhiheng: "Then why did you take it out?"
