The one they were chasing was none other than Feng Jiu Ge.
He had disguised himself as an Immortal Zombie, attempting to infiltrate the Northern Plains Zombie Alliance. But at the last moment, he was blocked by the Gate of Dao Marks in the meeting hall.
Thus, the secret that he wasn't a Northern Plains Gu Immortal was exposed, causing Yaksha Dragon General, one of the three giants of Yin Liu Giant City, to personally lead the pursuit.
Suddenly, Feng Jiu Ge stopped. He turned to face the four pursuers, a faint smile on his face. "You all have worked hard in the chase. How about stopping for a moment? Let Feng ask a few questions. If your answers are truthful, Feng will spare your lives."
"What?" The Immortal Zombies were furious.
"Villain, you can't escape, yet you dare to play tricks in front of your grandpa!" one burly Immortal Zombie said harshly.
"Be careful, it might be a trap." A female Immortal Zombie immediately activated her investigative methods, scanning the surroundings.
Almost immediately, her face became as pale as paper, and she let out a startled cry.
Three Central Continent Gu Immortals revealed themselves. Together with Feng Jiu Ge, they formed an encirclement, trapping the pursuing Immortal Zombies perfectly in the middle.
Feng Jiu Ge chuckled softly. He completely dropped his disguise and reverted to his true appearance. The aura of a Seventh Rank Gu Immortal was fully exposed.
The Immortal Zombies became restless and uneasy.
"A Seventh Rank Gu Immortal!" Yaksha Dragon General's face was ashen. He immediately rallied his troops. "So what if it's an ambush? It's four against four. We have the same numbers. You're a Seventh Rank Gu Immortal, and I am a Seventh Rank too. Don't think Immortal Zombies are weak in battle, we just don't seek pointless fights. You foreign domain Gu Immortals are truly audacious, trying to scheme against our Northern Plains Zombie Alliance! Hmph!"
"That's right, don't think I'm afraid of you!"
"If it's a fight, then fight."
"Do you think you can provoke our Zombie Alliance without consequences?"
The Immortal Zombies spoke one after another, their morale solidified.
Feng Jiu Ge clapped his hands and laughed. "Your distress signals have probably already been sent through your Blessed Lands to Yin Liu Giant City by now, right?"
This hit the mark. The expressions of the three Immortal Zombies changed slightly. Even Yaksha Dragon General's gaze flickered.
The Immortal Zombies were in an awkward position. If they could avoid battle, they would do their best to avoid it. The distance from here to Yin Liu Giant City wasn't very far. The moment the Central Continent Gu Immortals appeared, the four Immortal Zombies had all sent word back. It wasn't that they were afraid of death. If they could use reinforcements, why not make full use of them?
The more people, the greater the advantage. Even if a fierce battle broke out, their losses would be fewer, and the post-battle gains would be greater.
Those who become Gu Immortals are all shrewd individuals.
Even battle maniacs don't fight blindly. If they did, even if they became Gu Immortals, they wouldn't live long.
Feng Jiu Ge observed their expressions. He suddenly cupped his hands and praised, "Your Alliance's Gate of Dao Marks is truly formidable. Feng is full of admiration. Although I had heard rumors of it before, I always wanted to test my skills against it. However, the Gate of Dao Marks is just a relic of a previous sage. Since we have revealed ourselves, we naturally have the confidence to take your lives before your reinforcements arrive. You must have noticed by now that this area of the world seems normal, but is actually a battlefield killer move, cutting off the inside from the outside. I'm afraid your messages cannot be sent out."
The four Immortal Zombies' expressions changed again.
Feng Jiu Ge sighed. His tone was low and gentle, exuding a sincerity that forced one to believe him. "Feng has his own soul-searching methods, but has no intention of killing. If you can cooperate and speak the truth, Feng will surely let you leave safely."
"Hmph, arrogant words. Let's test each other's skills first." Yaksha Dragon General hurriedly interrupted Feng Jiu Ge's words. If he continued, the morale he had barely managed to boost would all be gone.
Other Immortal Zombies might cave in, but Yaksha Dragon General was in a high position and had scruples. If he admitted defeat without even fighting, his reputation would be utterly ruined. How could he command respect in the future? How could he keep his position as one of the three giants of Yin Liu Giant City?
Yaksha Dragon General charged forward first. The other three Immortal Zombies spread out to form the left, right, and rear flanks, instantly creating a simple formation where the head and tail could support each other.
Feng Jiu Ge's smile didn't fade, but he lightly retreated.
The opponent was too weak; he had no interest in fighting!
On the left and right, the two Central Continent Gu Immortals laughed heartily and pincered in.
A fierce battle began, two against four. From the very start, the Central Continent Gu Immortals overwhelmingly held the upper hand, and their advantage continued to grow. Although Yaksha Dragon General roared again and again, desperately fighting back to try and turn the tables.
But from beginning to end, the two participating Central Continent Gu Immortals never lost their grip on the situation.
After fighting for over a quarter of an hour, Yaksha Dragon General's face turned ashen. He was the first to stop fighting. The other three Immortal Zombies also had nearly depleted fighting will, their expressions faintly panicked.
"What is it you want to ask? As long as it doesn't violate the core interests of my Zombie Alliance, go ahead and ask." Yaksha Dragon General said coldly.
"A wise man submits to circumstances. Your open-mindedness is for the best." Feng Jiu Ge smiled even more broadly. He directly asked, "I need to know about Immortal Zombie Sha Huang."
"Sha Huang?" Yaksha Dragon General was stunned.
"It's the one who just joined," the female Immortal Zombie behind him blurted out.
"Oh?" A glint of joy flashed in Feng Jiu Ge's eyes. He said sincerely, "Feng would like to hear the details."
Almost at the same time, another fierce battle quietly ended.
