Chapter 222: Bloodline Decree: Expelled!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“A venerable?”
“May I know which venerable has graced us?”
The faces of Jiang Chen and the other zombie kings were ashen.
If a zombie king was considered a border minister who guarded a territory, then a venerable was an emissary who represented the Zombie Divine Palace to roam the underworld.
Throughout history, there were a total of 72 venerables.
The weakest of venerables was a top-notch zombie king. Some could even evolve to become a Divine Blood Zombie King.
Their combat power was comparable to a Perfected Immortal Venerable of the cultivation system.
“In the Ninth Venerable Decree, it’s stated that there must be no infighting between the zombie kings. Hurry up and return to your own territory. If you say another word or ask another question, take it as a violation of the Ninth Venerable Decree. You will all be taken to the path of exile for ten thousand years to gain some experience.”
Ninth Venerable?
This person was actually someone representing the Ninth Venerable?
The few zombie kings present cursed wildly.
The so-called Ninth Venerable was the ninth strongest venerable among the zombie kings, a king among the zombie kings.
One of them was enough to fight dozens of them. If they went one on one against him, he could easily kill them and even devour their blood.
If not for the Zombie Divine Palace’s suppression, they might not even have been able to leave alive today.
After all, the Ninth Venerable could be said to be a great devil who killed zombies without batting an eye.
With that, even Jiang Chen didn’t dare to be rash and could only return to his own mansion aggrievedly.
Yang Tianyou was also leaving quickly when he heard a whisper in his heart, “Someone is targeting you. Tell the human kid to put up an act… and retreat for the sake of advancing. I have other tasks for you.”
“As for your little brother, I will make a statement in the name of the Ninth Venerable later and expel him as a zombie. Tell him to be careful in the future and not come to Hell if he can.”
The person passed on several instructions at once.
“Alright.” Yang Tianyou’s expression did not change. He replied in his heart and left quickly.
On the other side, at the Haunted House on the surface.
Lin Ye studied the livid-faced Jiang Chen opposite him with interest. A few minutes ago, this guy was still strutting around.
But now, the other party was so obedient and he didn’t even need to count to three before the other party came down.
“Yang Fusheng, how dare you! How dare you collude with humans! Aren’t you afraid of being executed and dragged to the path of exile for ten thousand years?”
Jiang Chen looked at Yang Fusheng and sneered.
Upon hearing this, Yang Fusheng shivered, as if he was afraid of the path of exile mentioned by Jiang Chen.
However, in the blink of an eye, he seemed to have thought of something and smiled. “I’m afraid you won’t be able to see that day. In another year or two, I will be able to transform into a human. Even Hell can’t control me then.”
“Hehe, as for you, don’t even think about getting back on your feet in this life. As a lackey of the Zombie God, you will be possessed sooner or later.”
“How pitiful, hehehe.”
“Yang Fusheng, don’t force me to kill you!” Killing intent surged in Jiang Chen’s eyes.
“Uh-uh-uh-”
Yang Fusheng laid behind Lin Ye and stuck out his tongue like a dog taking advantage of its superior position. He provoked, “You have to keep your word. Jiang Chen, don’t make me look down on you. If you have the guts, cross the teleportation array and bite me! You are capable if you can even do so. If you don’t, you deserve to be used by Zombie God as a tool.”
“You!!!” Jiang Chen was about to explode.
Ever since he regained consciousness, he hated it when people said that he was someone’s lackey or replacement.
This was simply an insult to him, the great zombie king Jiang Chen.
Just as he was raging, a bloodline decree came from the depths of his heart.
“Zombie Yang Fusheng has been resurrected. He has colluded with humans and has been expelled from the ranks of zombies. Any zombie that sees him can kill him! Those who kill the traitor will be rewarded with 100 units of divine blood.”
Almost all the zombies with intelligence heard this.
In the blink of an eye, the zombies and zombie kings at the bottom were all excited, each of them desperately trying to find information in the zombie chat groups.
“What? Yang Fusheng is that zombie king who entered the Zombie Divine Palace and obtained the Transcendence Contract?”
“Impressive. I remember that in order to become a human, he even stripped himself of the zombie king’s bloodline.”
“What a big fool. Humans are not as good as zombies. That little fellow is only a Level 4 small zombie now. We can kill hundreds or thousands of him with a wave of our hands.”
“There’s news. Yang Fusheng is in the territory of his brother, Yang Tianyou!”
“No, this should have happened a few days ago. The latest news is that the little zombie has followed a human lord. That’s why he’s wanted throughout the entire realm.”
“F*ck, then what are you hesitating for? Hurry up and go to Yang Tianyou’s territory. I want to split the benefits. 100 units of divine blood is enough for me to evolve to the next level. When I advance, I’ll kill that bastard Xuan Kui!”
….
As an intelligent zombie, Yang Fusheng naturally heard this news as well.
In an instant, his face turned pale.
At the same time, he also felt that a large number of zombie chat groups had kicked him out and many had blocked him.
He was like a rat that was being beaten by zombies.
“Hahaha, the Ninth Venerable is indeed wise. I haven’t reported it yet, but he has already dealt with a little traitor like you now.”
Jiang Chen laughed heartily. His originally bad mood suddenly brightened up.
“What’s wrong?” Lin Ye asked curiously.
He had no idea how much trouble his actions had caused the little zombie.
“Sobs—Lin Ye, I was killed by you. I’ve become a traitor to the Zombie Kingdom. All the zombies now want to kill me. F*ck, the Ninth Venerable even issued a wanted order on me. Anyone that kills me will be rewarded with 100 units of divine blood!”
Yang Fusheng wailed continuously. His voice was mournful, as if he had lost his parents.
“Serves you right! A traitor like you should be wanted by zombies.” Jiang Chen laughed at Yang Fusheng’s suffering.
“Wait a moment. If I may be so bold as to ask, what is divine blood? What is its value?” Lin Ye asked curiously.
Perhaps it was because he was in a good mood, Jiang Chen explained, “Divine blood is the blood of those zombies who cultivate the divine path. It’s the old blood that a Zombie King expels from himself when he transforms into a Zombie God. It’s useless to those great experts.”
“But for the intelligent zombies and ordinary zombie kings at the bottom, this is a priceless treasure.”
“Let me describe it to you like this. Whether it’s me or Yang Tianyou, if we were to devour and absorb 100 units of divine blood, we might be able to advance by a small level.”
“Only a small level?” Lin Ye frowned, feeling like the divine blood was pretty useless.
“What do you know, brat? Yang Tianyou and I have been stuck at the advanced level for countless years. If we can take a step forward, we might be able to break through the barrier and directly become top-level zombie kings.”
“When my realm stabilizes, I might be able to become one of the 72 venerables in the next round of selection.”
At this point, Jiang Chen revealed a fanatical expression. “A venerable. Do you know how difficult it is to become one of these 72 venerables? There are countless zombies. How many epochs has it taken for these great 72 top-notch zombie kings to be born?”
“Moreover, only by entering the venerable seat can one be considered to have stepped into the upper levels of the zombie world. This is the supreme glory of those who are zombies.”
As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Ye and said with a bewitching smile, “Kid, although you were disrespectful to me previously, as long as you hand Yang Fusheng to me, the enmity between us will be written off.”
“In addition, I will also bestow you three treasure maps and a ruin map as a reward.”
“Think about it carefully. Exchanging an insignificant zombie for so many treasures at once, this is a deal that you will definitely profit from!”
“Moreover, I promise you that when humanity is defeated in the future, if you don’t want to die, I can convert you into a zombie subordinate of mine for free and let you retain your memories, turning you into a noble zombie that will live forever.”
“Lin Ye! Don’t listen to him. I’m not worth anything!”
Yang Fusheng was scared stiff. He hugged Lin Ye’s thigh and said pitifully, “Alright, I still have some value. As long as you don’t sell me, I promise to listen to you in the future and not mess around anymore.”
“Also, let me tell you. I’m good at fighting zombies. Haven’t you always wanted the ability to control zombies? This is something only I, a traitor zombie king, know. You humans can’t learn it.”
“I’m not lying to you. I’ve really grasped it. It’s the skill you saw previously. It can control disobedient humans and also sweep across zombies whose levels are lower than mine.”
“From now on, let me go first when killing zombies. These bastards deserve to be beaten to death!”
“…” Jiang Chen was speechless. Yang Fusheng was speaking as if he wasn’t a f*cking zombie.
Indeed, traitors deserved to die!
As for Lin Ye, his focus was not on selling Yang Fusheng.. Instead, he stared at Jiang Chen with a sharp gaze.
