Necropolis Immortal

s that?” Qing Han yelped.

“Ghost Yanking Feet,” Lu Yun said in a steely voice.
It was a vicious feng shui layout aimed to kill.
Back on Earth, many good swimmers still ended up drowning for no apparent reason.
They were all victims of the Ghost Yanking Feet.

He hadn’t expected such a terrible feng shui layout to lay hidden in this small lake.
The layout he knew could only create currents in water to drown people.
Here, however, it had physically manifested.

With his knowledge of formations, he could tell that the feng shui layout corresponded to a trapping formation.
The pale arms had formed a trapping formation before they’d approached the city lords, immobilizing them.
Otherwise they wouldn’t have been caught so easily.

“Ghost Yanking Feet?” the immortal in red asked nervously.
“Do those heads in the lake belong to ghosts?”

“Heads?” After a pause, Lu Yun took a closer look at the lake.
Every hair on his body bristled with horror.

Hundreds of bleached white human heads were floating in the rippling lake.
Their crimson eyes stared unblinkingly at the intruders ashore.
The arms dragging the city lords down were their hair!

“Corpsefish!” Lu Yun cried out.
“Those who die an untimely death in water never resolve their grievances, so their bodies never decompose.
Once they’re eaten by fish, the fish grow a human face, inheriting the grievances of the dead and seeking living souls as a replacement.”

It was said that such fish were responsible for the first instance of Ghost Yanking Feet.

“There are at least hundreds of them.
How many people have died prematurely in this lake?!”

There had to be immense unresolved grievances for a body to not rot, and the body had to be untouched by light of the greatest yang—the sun.
No matter how vicious the spirits were, as long as there was sunlight, the bodies would rot.

Every single one of the fish had devoured the resentful injustices of a corpse for it to grow a human face.

Splash!

One of them swam ashore, its pale arms reaching out for Lu Yun and the others from the top of its head.
Terrified, they hurriedly moved away from the lakeside.

“Sir, young master!” The zombies had gotten close, grabbing at Qing Han.

“What should we do?!” yelled an immortal.
He was at his breaking point.

Qing Han gnashed his teeth and growled, “Throw the zombies into the lake!”

“That’s right! The zombies are creepy, but they aren’t that strong.
We’ll throw them into the water!” The immortal suffering a mental breakdown rushed a zombie and hurled it toward the lake.
However, he screamed as soon as he touched it.
His body quickly rotted and assimilated into a zombie himself, falling to the ground.

Hearts sank.

All the color had drained from Qing Han’s face, and Lu Yun felt a knot in his stomach.
Anyone who touched one of the zombies would become one of them.
What manner of monsters were these?!

“Allow me.” A cool voice came out of nowhere.
A scenic panorama slowly unfolded, allowing a beauty to stride onto the scene.
Dressed in white, her long hair framed a frosty expression on her face.

Whoosh!

Emerald fire blazed, instantly reducing the zombies coming their way to ashes.

Yuying landed beside Lu Yun and bowed slightly.
“Sir.”

Lu Yun sighed in relief.
“Turns out fire is the zombies’ bane.
You did well.”

“Thank you for the compliment, sir.” Yuying’s lips curved into a joyful smile, driving away the heavy atmosphere of the terrible burial mound.

“That’s Emerald Mistfire,” muttered Qing Han.
