...

"Who did this?!?!" As people began to cry out madly, a look of horror appeared on Yan Xiaobao's face. He flew out of the corpse cave, leaving behind a mass of explosive green hair.

"Ye Xiao, what did you do!?" Xu Xiaoshan roared angrily, trembling with fury.

Without a word, everyone in the area turned to look at Yan Xiaobao.

Yan Xiaobao knew he had once again triggered a disaster. Filled with terror, he let out a mournful scream, then said: "What is this thing? Damn it! Who did this? My exquisite corpse! I've been working hard for half a year!"

Everyone around him stared at him in shock.

"How dare you try to deceive an old man like me! You're dead!" Xu Xiaoshan's eyes sparkled with rage. Waving his hand, he unleashed the power of his spiritual ocean into motion. The force of the flow erupted, accompanied by an aura of brutal killing intent. In the blink of an eye, the deadly wave surged towards Bai Xiaochun.

Not a single person did anything to stop what was happening. As for the elder of Corpse Peak, he merely frowned.

Yan Xiaobao's face turned pale. He couldn't easily reveal his true cultivation base, but if he didn't, then based on Nightcrypt's current power level, this attack would surely kill him beyond a shadow of a doubt.

However, just as Yan Xiaobao faced his moment of terror, countless howls began to rise from the corpse cave!

Something very strange happened! Green hair erupted from the corpse cave, the ground, plants and trees, and even from the rocks, swirling in the air to form a massive barrier in front of Yan Xiaobao, blocking Xu Xiaoshan's attack.

A huge boom resonated, countless green hairs were destroyed. Yet, Xu Xiaoshan's assault was clearly weakened.

Everyone in the area gasped, and then, before any cries of shock could be uttered...

Countless figures shot out from the rubble of the corpse cave, howling as they flew towards Yan Xiaobao.

One zombie after another appeared. They all looked different and possessed varying power levels and different types of aura. However, they shared one similarity: they all had green hair!

"Damn it! Those are my exquisite corpses!! Nightcrypt, I'm going to kill you!"

"Impossible! Why are my zombies protecting Nightcrypt?!?!"

"What's happening here?!?! Nightcrypt, do you want to die?!?!?" The crowd was utterly furious. Many of them even pulled out their jade artifacts to control the corpses, but they quickly discovered they couldn't control their own zombies.

Xu Xiaoshan was struck with a look of shock. The power of his attack was great, but now with over a hundred exquisite corpses standing in front of Yan Xiaobao, even if he attacked with more power, it would still be of no avail.

Dozens of corpses exploded with a rumbling sound. Then, the deadly wave gradually dissipated. Yan Xiaobao stood there motionless, looking around blankly.

More exquisite corpses crawled out from the ruins of the Corpse Refinery. Soon, over a thousand had gathered, surrounding Yan Xiaobao, glaring at Xu Xiaoshan, howling at the tops of their lungs.

Earlier, everyone in the area cried out in shock, but now, they didn't even utter a peep. As the disciples stared at the bizarre scene, they began slowly stepping back, their scalps tingling with fear. The fierce aura of killing intent that burst out from the zombie ranks left them utterly and thoroughly shocked.

Xu Xiaoshan could hardly believe what he was witnessing.

As for the Great Elder of Corpse Peak, he stared wide-eyed. After establishing the Foundation, he had strived and fought for years, eventually becoming an elder of Corpse Peak, and had presided for over a hundred years now. Considering how many exquisite corpses he had seen over the years, he believed he knew them better than some Core Formation cultivators.

However, what he saw now, over a thousand zombies protecting Yan Xiaobao, made his eyes glow intensely.

"How did he do that?!?!" he thought.

As for Bai Xiaochun, he stood there on the brink of tears.

"I'm finished," he thought. "I messed up. I destroyed the Corpse Refinery, and then for some reason, all these corpses decided to ignore their own masters and protect me. I've managed to offend over a thousand disciples at once. Is this going to force me to leave this sect? What do I do? What do I do…?"

Yan Xiaobao was well aware this wasn't the Spiritual Flow Sect. This was the Blood Flow Sect, and he could only imagine what punishment he'd face for this disaster. Perhaps they would beat him to death!

He could also feel the killing intent in the eyes of the surrounding disciples. And yet, at that moment, suddenly, the corpses behind him all howled, then cleared a path.

A tall green figure appeared from the depths of the ruined Corpse Refinery. As it stepped forward, sharp claws could be seen glinting like sharp blades. This strange figure had green skin and protruding fangs, a terrifying sight.

It had a mass of green hair so long it was impossible to tell its length. Much of its hair was actually connected to other corpses, while some of it simply floated within the area.

Yan Xiaobao stared in shock as the green zombie stepped forward, standing behind him, motionless, emanating a powerful and imposing aura of killing intent.
