Chapter 325 Yangyang Village Reduced to Ruins
"The supreme ruler?" the woman in black stockings asked疑惑地.
Despite being a foreigner, the woman in black stockings knows just as much about the Ancient Capital Undead Empire as the short man and his companions. To avoid unnecessary trouble, she pretends to know nothing about the Ancient Capital Undead.
It's not easy for a short man to have a chance to show off his knowledge in front of a beautiful woman, so he's not going to let it slip by easily.
"No one has ever truly seen the supreme ruler of the Undead Empire, but most people living in the ancient capital know that it exists. However, they call it the Undead Emperor, who is said to be the reincarnation of a Tang Dynasty emperor after his death," the short man said with a smile.
"So, how many years ago was your Tang Dynasty?" the woman in black stockings continued to ask.
"us?"
The short man was stunned for a moment, then he realized that the beautiful woman in black stockings in front of him was a foreigner.
However, the short man didn't care. He didn't know how many years ago the Tang Dynasty was, so he only gave an approximate time.
"A millennium-long ruler?" the woman in black murmured to herself.
Although the woman in black stockings didn't ask anything else, the short man didn't want to miss the opportunity to chat with her, so he continued, "Undead are all about age. The older they are, the more terrifying they become. Who knows what kind of terrifying creatures will be born from an undead nurtured by a thousand years of yin energy?"
"Damn, these ancient rulers really did a lot of harm! They've been dead for who knows how many years, yet they still want to become ghosts and rule the underworld!" Mo Fan cursed indignantly after hearing this.
"Which monarch would want to relinquish their power? Which ancient monarch didn't pursue the path to immortality? Therefore, there's nothing wrong with becoming the ruler of the underworld after death," Jiang Han said calmly.
"Moreover, the places where ancient kings died were often auspicious locations, and it is normal for their bodies to absorb the energy of heaven and earth over the years and eventually transform into powerful undead creatures."
"This young master is indeed quite knowledgeable. Lately, many people in the ancient capital have been saying that the ruler of the Undead Kingdom has changed, as if they know the previous ruler of the Undead Empire. Isn't that a bit amusing?" the short man said with a smile.
"Has no one really seen this undead ruler?" Liu Ru asked softly as she massaged Jiang Han's shoulders.
The short man shook his head and continued, "Even the strongest super-level mages have never seen it. In the past, some foreigners who claimed to be from the Holy Tribunal came seeking answers, and they even boasted about how strong they were."
"And what happened? Not a single one of them came back. The most ridiculous thing is that they turned into undead creatures after they died."
"These foreigners are not only not very strong, but they also keep causing trouble for China."
Upon realizing that the woman in black stockings was also a foreigner, the short man immediately apologized, saying, "Miss, I wasn't talking about you."
"It's alright, I'm happy to hear the people from the Holy Tribunal doing stupid things." A hint of a smile flashed in the bright eyes of the woman in black stockings.
As they talked, they arrived at the Xianchi area, where fine gravel was everywhere. It was said that after being nourished by death energy for a long time, this gravel could become nourishment for the dead.
Along the way, Jiang Han and his companions saw many undead creatures picking up the fine white sand that absorbed the moonlight and death energy.
Led by the short man, everyone finally arrived near Yangyang Village. He pointed to the small hill in front of them and said, "Yangyang Village is not far ahead. The night is long, so let's rest there for the night."
"There are rules in the village, and you'd better follow them if you want to go in," the burly man reminded him.
Then everyone went down the hillside, but when he got to the bottom of the hillside, he didn’t see a village where people lived. Instead, he saw a pile of abandoned and messy wood.
Looking elsewhere, all that could be seen was a patch of black mud, with nothing but a few pitted burrows!
"Are you playing us?" A bearded follower behind the woman in black stockings said angrily.
"I...I don't know what's going on either?" The short man turned to look at his muscular companion, now he was starting to wonder if he had wandered off to the wrong place.
"Impossible, impossible, absolutely not!!" The burly man's eyes were filled with disbelief.
He then clutched his head and frantically rushed towards the abandoned woodpile below. Yangyang Village was where he had grown up; how could he have gone to the wrong place? He couldn't believe that the village had been destroyed by the undead.
But nowadays, there are no thatched huts left in the village; all that remains are abandoned logs scattered everywhere, and a few wandering spirits.
"According to the map, Yangyang Village is indeed located here. Its current state must be due to..." Liu Ru said, checking the electronic map on her phone.
"Hmm, the village might be experiencing an undead riot. Aren't villages supposed to have special methods to avoid undead attacks?" Jiang Han said.
"Do you think it's possible that the new undead ruler is disrespecting these native inhabitants?" Mo Fan said.
The village is now a ruin, with traces of burning everywhere, and piles of charcoal scattered all over the place.
Under the instructions of the woman in black stockings, the bearded man under her command immediately ran towards the abandoned village to check the situation.
A moment later, he returned and shook his head. The village, now a ruin, had no bodies left, only burned-out abandoned houses.
