Chapter 286: Chapter 196: Friends Meet

"The ghosts within the Walking Corpses are not capable of resisting Earth’s energy pollution but can temporarily withstand it after certain weather conditions arise. However, once they are injured by my Hanging Man Spear, their ability to resist erosion declines, so they dissipate quickly..."

Li Yi, holding the Hanging Man Spear, watched as the ghost vanished and then made some conclusions, "So, Cultivators should not approach a defeated Walking Corpse right away to avoid possession by a fierce ghost. The best method is to keep a distance, or resist for a while, dragging it out until the ghost’s limit is reached, letting it dissipate into the world on its own."

"But not everyone has a weapon like yours that can harm ghosts," Zheng Gong said.

"Eye witness is a kind of soul attack that can be used to suppress. If one person can’t handle it, then two, or three can join forces, and together they can easily deal with Walking Corpses," Li Yi said.

"Eye witness?"

Everyone had a realization upon hearing this and immediately knew what to do.

If a ghost attacked them after killing a Walking Corpse, they would use eye witness to repel it. As long as they avoided possession and delayed for a little while, they could survive.

With this method in mind, everyone felt more confident and less passive.

"However, if Walking Corpses are already appearing here, the situation in other places must also be grim," Lin Yue came over, her brow furrowed with worry, "The Sky Tipping event hasn’t even started yet, and Tianchang City is already like this. No wonder everyone is thinking of crossing borders to leave. A city full of crises is indeed no longer suitable for ordinary people to live."

"The situation is deteriorating too fast, and Cultivators don’t have time to grow... But even with growth, they can’t keep up with the Cultivation speed of these monsters. The future is destined to be difficult, which is why so many people are thinking of crossing borders," Li Yi said.

Now, not just others, even he himself wanted to escape to the Four Seas and Eight Continents.

Though there were ghosts that harvested lives, at least it wasn’t an immediate death sentence.

"Li Yi, what should we do next? It’s going to be dark soon," Lv Jue asked at this time.

Li Yi thought for a moment, then turned to ask, "Zheng Gong, what does the Bureau have planned?"

"The Bureau’s arrangement is out. They’ve decided to gather Cultivators from all over the city at four points—east, west, south, and north—and enter the old city area. The closest gathering point for us is to the west. We need to get there before seven o’clock, and at seven thirty sharp, we’ll start the exorcism operation..." Zheng Gong immediately said.

"Is that such a rush?" Li Yi was somewhat surprised.

"There’s no way around it," Zheng Gong replied a bit helplessly. "By eight o’clock, it’ll be fully night, and Walking Corpses will definitely be rampant throughout the city. Plus, the pressure in the Ruined District is high; managing to spare an entire night to deal with this incident is already not easy. If we delay any longer, there’s a chance Extraordinary Creatures will enter Tianchang City."

"It seems we have no time to waste. It’s less than half an hour to seven now; we need to get moving immediately," Lin Yue checked the time and said.

"Then let’s start moving now. But we can’t just leave the Peace Finance Building unattended. Lv Jue, Zhao Xiaoxiao, you Spirit Medium Realm Cultivators stay behind; don’t join this mission. Going with your level of strength would be very dangerous. As for the other inspiration realm Cultivators, just one of you needs to stay; the rest will come with me," Li Yi instructed.

"Isn’t leaving just one inspiration realm Cultivator a bit risky?" Lin Yue asked.

"We don’t have a choice; we’re shorthanded right now. A few people on watch should be enough. If a Walking Corpse of the Spiritual Sense Level shows up, no amount of people could stop it. If it’s just ordinary Walking Corpses, they can handle them. After all, the two of us can’t stay here all night," Li Yi said.

"That’s true."

Lin Yue thought about it but then realized something else, her gaze turning toward the first floor of the building.

Li Yi’s mother had a significant issue. If any real danger approached, she would probably intervene, after all, even Lin Yue felt fear in the presence of Li Yi’s mother, and to this day she had no clear idea what she really was.

Perhaps.

The most dangerous thing in Tianchang City wasn’t the Walking Corpses or the Extraordinary Creatures but the woman lying in the medical pod.

But it seemed that Li Yi hadn’t noticed this problem yet.

"Now’s not the time to think about this. Li Yi’s issue is severe, but it hasn’t occurred yet. The urgent matter of the Walking Corpses is at hand," Lin Yue thought to herself.

Since everyone agreed with Li Yi’s arrangements, they immediately began preparing.

In a short while, the squad for this mission was assembled.

Li Yi, Lin Yue, Zheng Gong, Yuan Mingjin, and the two inspiration realm Cultivators, Fang Hang and Cheng Pingfang.

A total of six people.

The remaining Lv Jue, Kong Sheng, Zhao Xiaoxiao, and a Cultivator named Wang Feng were left at the Peace Finance Building to look after the security inside and outside the building, ensuring no Walking Corpses could enter during this time and cause unnecessary damage.

After the arrangements were made, the six people didn’t hesitate and immediately set off.

They took two cars, heading straight for the western gathering point.

During this time, at least five or six helicopters were constantly flying over the old city district of Tianchang City, circling around, turning on various spotlights to gradually illuminate the city as it started to darken. Besides, in some areas with densely packed buildings, there were sounds of explosions.
