Chapter 1404: Chapter 1406: Honglian’s Crazy Revenge_1

Yuefeng, why did you...” The second elder was shocked. The man before him was none other than the captain of the Divine Guardian Team, Yuefeng!

Yuefeng didn’t reply, as if he couldn’t see anyone in his eyes, only deep hatred.

”Not good, this is an evil technique! She has turned Yuefeng and the other two into ghost corpses!” the third elder exclaimed. ”Ghost corpses are several times more formidable than when they were alive and their bodies are tough, immune to pain. Quickly initiate the alert, we must not let them escape!”

The Holy Hall had a different name for them than Bai Ruozhu, roughly meaning Jiangshi.

Honglian stepped out of the room unhurriedly, giving the crowd a wicked smile. That instant of beauty was breathtaking, and the elders of the Holy Hall, being old men, were nearly soul-snatched despite themselves.

”Don’t worry, I have no intention of escaping. You’ve made me suffer so much, I must wreak havoc today.” Honglian’s tone was remarkably light, as if she wasn’t talking about the bloody act of killing, but something as mundane as eating and drinking.

The seventh elder suddenly pointed at Honglian with red eyes, accusing her: ”Yuefeng loved you so much, always thinking about making you his wife, and yet you killed him!”

Nobody else knew about this, but the seventh elder was especially close to Yuefeng. After having a few drinks, Yuefeng opened up about his true feelings.

Back then, the seventh elder even encouraged Yuefeng to interact more with the Saintess. Even if she seemed out of reach, she would still need to marry someone, and Yuefeng, being the captain of the Divine Guardian Team with impressive martial skills and good looks, was perfectly matched with the Saintess.

But now... The seventh elder, with tearful eyes, wished he could slap himself. Why had he encouraged Yuefeng? If Yuefeng hadn’t been worried about checking on Honglian, he wouldn’t have fallen for her trap.

”He liked me so much, wouldn’t it have been nice for him to be my most loyal guard? If he had been obedient, I might not have refused to marry him.” Honglian said this, and then broke into a fit of giggles.

Excitement suddenly appeared on Yuefeng’s face as he looked at Honglian deeply and asked, ”Would you really agree to marry me?”

Honglian smiled sweetly, ”Of course, it depends on your performance.”

The elders were shocked, and the seventh elder pointed at Yuefeng and said, ”You still have your own will—look at me, I’m the seventh elder! Shake off the control of this demon woman quickly!”

Yuefeng, however, looked coldly at the seventh elder and said, ”Anyone who wants to harm her is my enemy! I am willing to be her servant, to stand by her side forever, no matter what I become!”

The seventh elder stamped his foot in anger, ”Foolish! Is this demon woman worthy of your love? If she truly loved you, would she have turned you into this?”

Honglian let out another giggle. Her crimson lips, resembling blood, were eerie yet somehow deeply alluring.

All the elders present were formidable individuals. Although their minds wavered a bit at the sight, they quickly recovered. However, the younger Holy Guardians and Divine Guardians were not so resilient. Many were so entranced that they gazed at Honglian with vacant fascination, as if they were looking at the goddess of their hearts.

The second elder inwardly cursed the situation, gathering his Qi in his elixir field, and bellowed, ”Don’t be seduced by her charm technique!”

This roar woke many from their stupor, shocking them awake. What use was beauty? You must be alive to enjoy it. If even Yuefeng had become a ghost corpse, did they wish to share the same fate?

Honglian, seeing her Charm Technique broken, a flash of hatred flickered in her eyes as she said to Yuefeng, ”Go kill that old fart!”

Yuefeng’s eyes reddened again, and with a whoosh, he charged towards the direction of the second elder.

The Divine Guardians rushed forward to block him, and some, unable to bear the thought of fighting their own Team Leader, called out Yuefeng’s name, urging him to wake up quickly and not be controlled by the Demon Woman. Unfortunately, the words ”Demon Woman” only made Yuefeng angrier, and his attacks became even more vicious, wounding two Divine Guardians in the blink of an eye.

But with their superior numbers, the Divine Guardians soon landed blows on Yuefeng. To everyone’s surprise, they found they couldn’t make a dent on him, and he was much stronger than before!

Now everyone had to come to grips with the fact that Yuefeng had turned into a monster, and they dared not hold back in their combat.

Yuefeng, however, grew increasingly ferocious as he fought. Honglian had two other zombie guards protect her without joining the fray, revealing her own lack of strength.

As Yuefeng was about to reach the second elder, everyone couldn’t help but worry for him, but the second elder showed no sign of panic. He suddenly reached out his hand and threw a handful of powder at Yuefeng.

”Ah...” Yuefeng screamed in agony, covered his eyes, and fell to the ground, writhing in pain.

Honglian’s face paled dramatically. She didn’t know how the second elder had come by the drug that subdued flesh corpses. She quickly chanted a spell, and Yuefeng, enduring the pain, swiftly retreated to her side. He wrapped his arm around her slender waist and rushed out with her.

The other two zombie Holy Guards charged forward, blocking the pursuers with a fierce determination to fight to the death.

Soon another figure also fled with Honglian and her companion, none other than Jin Jing, the daughter of Lady Diao Mo.

”Everyone says the great elder is using Evil Techniques to produce flesh corpses, but I never expected Honglian to know how, too. And Jin Jing, the daughter of Lady Diao Mo, who has been missing, turns out to have been hidden by her, transformed into a flesh corpse,” said the second elder.

Although they failed to stop Honglian, everyone breathed a huge sigh of relief—for Yuefeng had been frighteningly unstoppable, like a humanoid weapon that couldn’t be killed. If the second elder hadn’t thrown that powder, they might have suffered a terrible fate.

”Second elder, what was that you just threw? It seemed very effective against Yuefeng,” asked the fourth elder, curious.

”It’s Anti-corpse Powder given to me by a great master. I never believed in such things, but after using it today, I realized that the master spoke the truth. Later I will share some with all of you for added protection,” said the second elder. The master he referred to was none other than Bai Ruozhu. Some days ago, he had had a secret meeting with the sovereign of the country, who gave him the powder, claiming it was a gift from the Lady Bai as Anti-corpse Powder.

At that moment, the second elder was both impressed with and grateful to Bai Ruozhu. If it weren’t for Lady Bai’s foresightedness in providing him with this, he feared he might have been seriously injured or worse today.

Meanwhile, Honglian and her two companions rushed out of Gaochang City, injuring many guards along the way, and eventually, no one knew where they had gone.

In the depth of the mountains, Honglian’s eyes seemed as if they were dyed red with blood, looking eerily strange. Clenching a dagger in her hand, she said, ”Lin Zhu, Holy Hall, I want you all dead!”

She gasped for air, and it took a while before she could calm down. Suddenly, she used the dagger to slice open her wrist, blood gushing out. She showed no signs of pain; instead, excitement appeared on her face. She let her arm hang down and began pacing on the ground, using the flowing blood to draw strange patterns.

”Honglian, have you lost your mind? Do you have a death wish?” Yuefeng returned with food, and upon seeing the scene, he suddenly exclaimed aloud.
