Su Mo once again felt that strange atmosphere, she walked beside Lu Chen and turned her head to look at the faces of the three people. Although their expressions were very normal, why was the atmosphere so weird?
She was holding Lu Chen’s hand, and they arrived at the house they had stayed in before.
By now, there were many people inside shouting loudly, each expression seemed possessed as they uniformly cried out "Demon Cage."
When Jianxiong and the others entered, someone at the railing made room for them.
The group stood by it, and below was the deep pit Su Mo had been in before. The burly man who had killed his own people with a rocket launcher was lying on the damp, cold cement floor. It took him a long time to slowly get up.
When he lifted his head, Su Mo saw his face, swollen like a pig’s head.
He started to speak to them, attempting to explain something, but the merciless punches from Jianxiong earlier had left him only able to make a few whimpering sounds, and the increasingly loud shouting quickly drowned out his voice.
The familiar old man appeared, Jianxiong gripped the railing with a somewhat oppressed expression, and said, "It’s starting."
Su Mo pursed her lips. Speaking of which, this man was quite innocent. The sudden redirection of the rocket had definitely been Li Qian’s doing, but if it hadn’t changed direction, the rocket would have likely hit her.
Lu Chen stroked the back of her hand, his gaze deep as he stared at the now panicked burly man below.
Soon, a series of alarms sounded next to the iron gate inside the deep pit.
The iron gate slowly opened, and the shouting above grew louder.
Su Mo held her breath to watch. Unlike the day they were tested, a female zombie rushed out directly from the iron gate on all fours, climbing towards the burly man like Spiderman, who was frantically running.
"This form, is it a level 3 Spiritual Zombie?" Su Mo focused on its attack movements.
"Probably more than that," Li Qian habitually touched his nose ridge, then said, "Look closely at its eyes."
Su Mo leaned forward, looking towards its eyes. The zombie, originally leaping on the walls in mad pursuit of the burly man, turned its head 90 degrees as its pale pupils flickered past Su Mo’s face.
It abruptly stopped chasing and jumped onto the high wall, rapidly heading in Su Mo’s direction, its throat emitting a terrifying sound, followed by a sharp cry like a female ghost, "Sister, sister!"
Because of its actions, Lu Chen immediately pulled Su Mo back a few steps, and a huge Ice Shield appeared in front of them, ready to block its attacking momentum.
The electrical grid embedded in the wall was activated by the old man, and the Spiritual Zombie running midway was immediately electrified and fell down, its eyeballs still dead set on the delicate figure behind the Ice Shield.
It roared angrily, its spiritual power continuously diffusing.
Since Su Mo had disappeared for a few days, Yang Yichu had controlled the zombies and zombie dogs to search for several days.
Following the scent and traces, Yang Yichu entered the borders of Hua City and had a vague connection with the zombies inside the city.
After spotting that familiar figure, the one crawling on the ground feasting on human flesh decisively stopped and was carried away by a giant zombie, disappearing into the night.
The man in the pit saw the Spiritual Zombie being electrified and falling down, his body suddenly grew several times larger as he charged at it, displaying a do-or-die attitude.
The near eardrum-piercing zombie roar made the burly man unable to even touch it before he was directly strangled by invisible spiritual power threads.
While Su Mo was still in shock, she also realized this was a level 4 zombie!
His death did not catch the attention of the people above.
All their gazes were locked on Su Mo and the others, their eyes filled with shock and fear.
"You all are actually followers of the demon!"
"A demon actually called you sister!"
"My God, we must report this to the Empress immediately!"
The hostile gazes and voices around her almost drowned Su Mo.
Jianxiong had not expected that watching a Demon Cage would turn things into such a mess.
Lu Chen even went so far as to form ice shields all around him to protect Su Mo tightly.
Su Mo’s hand hurt from how tightly Lu Chen was holding it, but she endured the pain and whispered, "It’s Yang Yichu."
She couldn’t believe how fast it had moved. How on Earth had it found her through those zombies!?
How strong could it possibly be!?
A half-grown child had become the Zombie King, which baffled Su Mo.
Zhao Changsheng and Li Qian both stood outside the Ice Shield, constantly on alert.
Jianxiong wanted to come over too, but Su Mo stopped him with a look. He couldn’t expose himself yet.
The situation was escalating quickly, and soon, an elder pushed back the Spiritual Zombie and went to report to the Empress.
In the luxurious room of the Empress, Jiang Yulian, who had been watching over Jiang Zhuoyang while under the supervision of servants, also heard the noise outside. Soon, someone came in to report to her, and she slightly raised her head to observe the expression on the Empress’s face. Her heart skipped a beat, fearing that trouble was brewing.
Indeed, she stood up from her chair, her robe embroidered with gold swirling around her as she quickly walked out.
Su Mo and their group were driven into the great hall. The looks they received from those around them were no longer kind. The expressions on everyone’s faces seemed as if they wanted to kill them.
The Empress, understanding the cause and effect, sat with a dark expression in the seat of honor, "Who did the demon just call out?"
Immediately, someone stepped forward, pointing at Su Mo, "I was not far from them when that demon called this woman sister."
"Empress! She is a follower of the demon, she must not remain!"
The voices calling for Su Mo’s punishment rose one after another, causing the Empress’s gaze to linger on Su Mo’s face, though she also noticed the unmistakable intent to kill emanating from Lu Chen.
As the man released all his oppressive might without reservation, the hall gradually quieted down.
The intangible pressure filled the entire hall, making it hard for people to breathe.
The Empress sat on the high seat, her tone carrying a warning, "If she is just a follower of the demon, the rest of you, how should you decide?"
This question was directed at everyone other than Su Mo.
Of course, Zhao Changsheng and Li Qian did not even move a step away from Su Mo’s side.
Su Mo thought for a moment. With the large number of people around them and despite Lu Chen’s formidable superpower, the four of them were unable to take on so many cultists, especially with Jiang Yulian and Ling Ye in the enemy’s hands.
For now, it seemed they only had one option: to compromise.
Lu Chen met the Empress’s gaze, his look heavy with the intent to kill, "What will you do?"
The look he gave her, as if he was staring at a dead person, made the Empress’s heart jolt fiercely.
She relied on beliefs to control these people, and she, being merely a mediocre Wood Element superpower, knew smartly that if she did anything unfavorable to the girl, the intensely murderous Angel Envoy in front of her might not hesitate to rush over and twist off her head.
Such an awareness made the Empress exceptionally uncomfortable. She adjusted her sleeve, "The divine do not kill the innocent indiscriminately. Prove to me that you are not a follower of the
