Chapter 235 Little Zombie's Black Moonlight Taoist Priest 33
During the fight between Yue Minglei and Chonggu, Shen Xinran's heartbeat was as rapid as a drumbeat, and her eyes were fixed on Yue Minglei.
Watching Chonggu approaching Yue Minglei step by step, Shen Xinran frowned and shouted with determination and strength: "Fire Dragon appears!"
At her call, a fire dragon rose into the sky from the darkness, its flames like hellfire, hot and fierce.
Chonggu was caught off guard and was engulfed by the sudden flames. He tried to use his evil spirit to extinguish the flames.
But the fire not only did not weaken, but became more intense.
Chonggu's face showed fear and confusion. He cursed, "What kind of fire is this? Why can't it be put out?"
Shen Xinran stood up and sneered, "This is magma borrowed from hell, specifically for zombies!"
The flames continued to burn, as if to purify all sins. But Chong Gu was not dead, he just turned into a dried corpse, and his fingers were still trembling slightly.
Kill you while you are sick!
A flicker of determination flashed in Shen Xinran's eyes. She quickly turned to Yue Minglei and said in a low and urgent voice, "Quick, drain all the energy from him now!"
Yue Minglei nodded slightly, slowly stood up, and walked towards Chonggu with firm steps.
However, just as he was about to touch Chonggu, a burst of uniform footsteps suddenly came from the distance, breaking the tense atmosphere.
A group of soldiers suddenly appeared and surrounded them.
Yue Minglei's sharp eyes instantly recognized these soldiers as the same ones who had betrayed and murdered him. Their aura, like a brand etched deep within his bones, was forever etched into his memory.
Yue Minglei's heart was filled with rage. Seeing this, Shen Xinran quickly stepped forward and held his hand tightly. This warm power temporarily calmed Yue Minglei's anger.
The soldiers quickly parted ways, and a middle-aged man in armor stepped out from the crowd. When Yue Minglei saw the face clearly, he was stunned for a moment, because it was his adoptive father, Yue Peiyuan.
Yue Peiyuan also saw Yue Minglei. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he blurted out: "You are not dead yet!"
An indescribable despair welled up in Yue Minglei's heart. He felt as if he were trapped in an invisible cage, surrounded by darkness without a single ray of light.
He wanted to call for help, but found that the sound was stuck in his throat and could not come out. He wanted to struggle, but found that his strength was insignificant and could not shake the shackles of fate.
Yue Peiyuan quickly turned his attention to Chonggu who was lying on the ground. An expression of excitement appeared on his face as he waved to the soldiers.
A group of fully armed soldiers slowly approached Chonggu, pushing an iron cage made of fine steel and extremely sturdy.
Seeing this, Mao Luying quickly shouted: "This is the Zombie King, stay away from him, don't let him hurt you!"
The soldiers responded in unison: "We know!"
Seeing the soldiers actually carrying Chonggu into the iron cage, Ma Mingzhu's face tightened and she rushed over, "What do you want to do! We finally managed to seriously injure him!"
But after taking a few steps, a group of soldiers surrounded her.
Yue Peiyuan responded coldly: "When the imperial court is handling a case, outsiders are not allowed to interfere."
Mao Luying patiently explained, "If we don't eliminate him on the night of the full moon, he will come out to hurt people and cause endless harm!"
Yue Peiyuan just gave Mao Luying a cold look, and a soldier stepped forward and put a knife on Mao Luying's neck. But he curled his lips and said, "I don't want to hurt anyone, so don't force me!"
The group of people were powerless and could only watch Chonggu being taken away by the soldiers and disappear into the night.
For a moment, everyone became depressed.
Mao Xianpeng clenched his fist and slammed it against the wall. "We almost wiped out Chonggu!"
Mao Luying sighed, "Everyone is tired today, let's go back and rest first, and then think of a solution tomorrow morning."
Shen Xinran glanced at Yue Minglei, only to see him staring blankly into the night sky, the direction Yue Peiyuan had left. She asked softly, "Are you okay?"
Yue Minglei shook his head and said in a low voice, "It's okay."
After saying this, he walked into the alley alone. The moonlight cast a long shadow on Yue Minglei's back, making him look particularly lonely.
Shen Xinran sighed softly, feeling powerless in her heart. The thing she was most worried about finally happened.
…
The next morning, just after dawn, the blue sky was like an unfolded ink painting, fresh and peaceful.
Shen Xinran got up and when she passed Cheng Zicheng's room, she looked inside. There was only Cheng Zicheng sleeping soundly on the bed, but Yue Minglei, who was supposed to be lying next to Cheng Zicheng, was gone.
It was over. Shen Xinran's heart skipped a beat. She ran straight to the backyard, quickly untied the horse's reins, jumped on the horse, and without hesitation, galloped out the door.
The sound of her horse's hooves was quick and powerful, breaking the tranquility of the early morning. Mao Luying and Mao Xianpeng were startled by the sudden sound. They looked at each other and hurried to catch up.
The open space on the outskirts of the city is desolate and silent.
The soldiers had expressionless faces and determined eyes. They were standing or sitting, some checking their weapons, some talking in low voices, but their attention was always focused on the cage in front of them.
The cages, made of indestructible steel and bounded by thick chains, were placed in the center of the clearing, surrounded by a circle of soldiers, forming an impassable defense.
Yue Peiyuan stood in front of the cage, his eyes penetrating the iron bars and fixed on Chonggu.
There was a hint of urgency and curiosity in his voice. "You've bitten so many people. Why do some people turn into zombies while others remain mindless walking corpses?"
Chong Gu rolled over in the cage, his movements clumsy. His cracked skin fell off like dead leaves, scattering on the ground. His voice was hoarse and low, "You want to become a zombie?"
Yue Peiyuan nodded without hesitation, his expression serious and his eyes determined. "As long as you help me, I will let you out!"
At this moment, Yue Minglei stepped out from the shadows. He stared at Yue Peiyuan, his brow furrowed. "You went to such great lengths to take Chonggu away, just to turn yourself into a zombie!"
Yue Peiyuan seemed a little displeased with Yue Minglei's sudden appearance. He frowned and said, "Zombies can live forever, what's wrong with that?"
Yue Peiyuan's answer angered Yue Minglei. He clenched his fists and asked, "How did those brothers die?"
Chong Gu stood aside, seemingly seeing through everything. He looked at Yue Minglei with a playful smile, "Don't you know? Twenty years ago, the Mao and Ma families joined forces to seal me in Shanhaiguan. It was your blood that broke the seal on me."
Yue Minglei looked at Yue Peiyuan, his voice filled with anger and grief, "Just for your delusion of immortality, you actually sacrificed nearly five thousand innocent lives!"
Yue Peiyuan's response was cold and arrogant, "It is their honor to contribute to my longevity."
Yue Minglei's voice was almost trembling. "Including me?"
Yue Peiyuan opened his arms, his voice filled with the arrogance of power, "Although you call me foster father, I have many adopted sons. They are all my godsons, and they all call me foster father!"
When he finished speaking, the soldiers shouted in unison: "Godfather!"
The cheers shook the sky, echoing throughout the empty field. At that moment, Yue Minglei's heart felt as if covered in ice, chilling him to the bone.
