He couldn't continue speaking. The top ten disciples of the Tianxuan Sect in the current era had suddenly died silently here. Yue Qi simply didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Looking up at the winding stone steps of the mountain path, Yue Qi's eyes turned red. There, he didn't know how many of his fellow disciples were still there.
Yan Qing cautiously glanced at his expression. "Yue Qi, shall we continue going up?"
After tidying up his senior sister's body, Yue Qi steeled his resolve and gritted his teeth, saying...
"Go! I want to see just who these people are that make them kill each other like this!"
The implication of his words sent chills down Yan Qing's spine. Could it be that all of these people died in infighting?
The man in the yellow robe who killed Senior Sister Yue Qi must also be a disciple of some Xuanmen sect?
Yue Qi was in a terrible mood. Yan Qing was very sensible and followed him silently uphill. The higher they went, the more corpses they saw.
The narrow steps were almost too narrow to hold everything; the entire mountainside was littered with the corpses of various Xuanmen disciples who had met tragic ends. But this time, she finally saw corpses other than those of Xuanmen disciples.
However, these corpses could hardly be called "corpses" at all. They were almost all broken limbs, not a single one was intact.
What's even more horrifying is that some of the severed limbs were still wriggling, seemingly not quite dead yet.
These severed limbs were all grayish-white, looking extremely emaciated, with extremely long fingernails and toenails, and the color of the fingernails was a dark green, as dark as ink.
As Yan Qing passed by a severed arm, the arm, which had been completely dead, suddenly struggled and leaped into the air, reaching out to grab her.
Yue Qi reacted quickly; a flash of lightning struck, and the severed arm was cleaved into a lump of charcoal.
"Be careful, those dismembered bodies are parts of high-level zombies—" Yue Qi reminded her.
“I’ve encountered high-level zombies in dungeons. These zombies, like the superhumans, are almost all mutated from ordinary zombies. Even if they are killed, they can still revive as long as their bodies are intact. Therefore, they must be completely dismembered to truly kill them.”
"I see!" Yan Qing said, still shaken. "No wonder the zombies here are all in pieces. It must be very difficult to kill them."
Looking at the corpses on the ground, it was clear that it took several disciples of the Xuanmen sect working together to kill those high-level zombies.
Moreover, judging from the numbers, the number of high-level zombies is significantly less. It seems that these zombies are also extremely rare, even more so than ordinary superhumans.
Yue Qi, still worried, tossed her a stack of talismans and instructed her.
"This can be used for self-defense and as a warning, so don't be stingy with it. I have many more here, but you must ensure your own safety first."
Yan Qing nodded. The situation above was unclear; who knew if there were anything even more terrifying? So, she immediately activated the Heaven and Earth Dice for protection, and with these talismans, she could hold out for at least a long time.
As they continued up the mountain, nearing the small temple, they found countless corpses lying on the ground.
"My God, how many people is that!"
The square in front of the small temple was very small, but at this moment it was densely packed with several layers of corpses, almost completely covering the temple's entrance.
These corpses were still Xuanmen disciples dressed in various sect costumes, and one could imagine that the battle must have been extremely fierce.
Each corpse had multiple injuries, mostly caused by advanced zombies, but a few died from killing each other.
Yan Qing was puzzled. What could possibly be causing so many Xuanmen disciples to arrive at this completely unknown little temple at the same time?
She had always wondered why the nameless temple on Mount Qingcheng was one of the three hellish ultimate dungeons.
Instinctively, she felt it was related to the eighteen Asura Netherworld Tokens she had acquired. After all, even a single one of these tokens was priceless, not to mention she had just witnessed the true power of this set of Asura Netherworld Tokens—power that could even suppress god-level beings.
Yue Qi seemed lost in thought, remaining silent the entire way except for collecting the bodies of his fellow disciples. This made her very uneasy.
There were so many corpses in front of the small temple that it took the two of them a long time to clear the path leading to the temple gate, revealing the red temple entrance.
Yue Qi was about to step inside when Yan Qing grabbed him.
"Wait a minute, don't you think it's a little too quiet here?"
It wasn't that she was being paranoid, but the fact that they had walked for so long without receiving any notification to enter the instance made her very uneasy.
The nameless little temple on Mount Qingcheng is the ultimate dungeon! How could we have reached the top of the mountain without even a hint?
Moreover, no matter how she looked at it, it didn't seem like there were any living people here.
Yan Qing's words successfully pulled Yue Qi out of his extreme grief, and his rationality finally returned.
Yue Qi also realized that there really was no living thing left in this temple, not just people, but also the high-level zombies, all of them were dead beyond any doubt.
He hesitated, his raised hand only centimeters away from the temple door, but he couldn't bring himself to pat it down.
Just as the two were struggling with their decision, the dilapidated temple door suddenly creaked open and a large crack appeared on its own.
Through the crack, the two could see the mountain of corpses piled up in the courtyard. Xuanmen disciples and an astonishing number of high-level zombies had all died here without exception.
Strangely, none of the corpses here had any injuries. Yan Qing finally saw the true faces of those high-level zombies.
So this is what advanced zombies look like? This is completely different from what she imagined.
The advanced zombies on the ground, apart from their pale complexion and grayish-white skin, and ignoring their long black fingernails, looked almost exactly like ordinary people, not at all as terrifying as ordinary zombies or the supernatural ones.
"These people seem to have died suddenly during the French fighting."
After observing for a long time, Yue Qi finally came to this conclusion.
“Yes,” Yan Qing agreed wholeheartedly. “By the way, Yue Qi, I’ve been here before, and there were young monks in the small temple then. However, I haven’t seen a single monk’s body yet, which is rather strange.”
As they were talking, the temple gate kept shaking in the wind, and eventually it couldn't withstand the pressure and collapsed completely.
Yan Qing was standing at an angle facing a corner of the small temple, where a peach tree was in full bloom, as beautiful as springtime in March.
Yan Qing hesitated for a moment, then looked at Yue Qi, "Shall we still go in?"
Yue Qi had been on high alert and hadn't sensed any danger. Now that he was already here, it would be unreasonable not to go and check.
So he made a quick decision: "Go!"
