106: Chicken Head Village, where no one survived

Just as Chen Heng was pondering where to bury Inspector Zou, a bloody aura surged from Jitou Village.

Qi Longhu's iron fists had just repelled a Hairy Zombie when a Flying Zombie circling in the sky clawed him.

“Is this the method of the Ghost Corpse Temple?”

These three zombies weren't a big threat to Qi Longhu.

He could deal with them alone with plenty to spare.

But the targets of these zombies were not him at all, but the defenseless villagers.

While the Hairy Zombie and Flying Zombie entangled Qi Longhu, another Hairy Zombie rushed into Jitou Village and began a massacre.

The villagers' screams were incessant, but Qi Longhu was powerless.

He had to focus on dealing with the Hairy Zombie and Flying Zombie in front of him, otherwise he would follow in their footsteps.

He still had a mission from the gang leader, so he had to make a choice.

“Damn things...”

Qi Longhu's eyes were bloodshot, his entire body surged with Qi and blood, and his fourfold Dragon Tiger Strength fiercely slammed into the Hairy Zombie's chest.

The Hairy Zombie's chest visibly caved in, but such an injury was minor to a Hairy Zombie.

It only needed a little essence blood to recover.

With a muffled thud, the clothing around Qi Longhu's waist was torn into strips, revealing his sturdy muscles underneath.

Although Qi Longhu's hard Qi skill was not as good as Chen Heng's and Wu Tianba's, he was still one of the best among martial artists.

The attacks of the Hairy Zombie and Flying Zombie couldn't break through his defense for a while.

“Hall Master Qi! Save us!”

The honest man, his face covered in snot and tears, rushed out of the village with his son in his arms.

“Find a place to hide! Quickly!”

Qi Longhu's rhythm was disrupted by the honest man, and the two zombies seized the opportunity for a fierce assault.

Seeing this, the honest man stopped shouting and hid with his son in a pile of firewood.

Time slowly passed, and the panting Qi Longhu finally killed one Hairy Zombie.

But the other Flying Zombie, missing half its body, continued to harass him in mid-air.

At the same time, the screams from the village also stopped.

Qi Longhu's heart turned cold.

He knew that everyone in the village was dead.

From deep within the village, a Hairy Zombie emerged, carrying a blood gourd that was still dripping blood.

Qi Longhu felt his rationality about to be replaced by rage, and he roared, charging forward.

But the Hairy Zombie completely ignored him, leaped into the sky, and grabbed the Flying Zombie's ankle.

Just like that, it flew away right in front of Qi Longhu.

“Ah ah ah ah ah ah!”

Qi Longhu was so enraged that he roared to the sky, his eyes blood red, his fists clenching with a grinding sound.

“Ghost Corpse Temple! I, Qi Longhu, will surely kill you all!”

“Ah ah ah!!”

Suddenly, Qi Longhu's knees buckled, and he fell to the ground, all his strength seemingly vanishing.

“Heh heh, is this the difference between a martial artist and a Cultivator?”

“Just two zombies under their command held me up for so long.”

“No, if this continues, Qiyang City will be in danger.”

Soon, Qi Longhu adjusted his state.

He quickly got up and found his horse.

“Hall… Hall Master Qi.”

Just then, the honest man walked up to Qi Longhu with his son in his arms.

With a thud, the honest man knelt on the ground.

“Thank you, Hall Master Qi, for saving our lives.”

“Please do one last favor for this humble one.”

“Speak,” Qi Longhu still felt guilty facing the honest man.

He couldn't even protect a small Jitou Village.

“Please, Hall Master Qi, take my son with you; he is still young.”

The honest man held his young son in both hands and handed him to Qi Longhu.

“What about you?”

Qi Longhu frowned, looking at the honest man in front of him, feeling that his complexion wasn't quite right.

“I'm done for; I definitely won't live.”

The honest man lifted his clothes, revealing his deeply sunken chest.

“Please, Hall Master Qi, help this humble one one last time, save this child...”

After saying this, the honest man breathed his last.

Instantly, the anger Qi Longhu had suppressed surged up again.

He only wanted to do one thing now: kill all the beasts of the Ghost Corpse Temple!

But when he looked at the sleeping child in his arms, he temporarily abandoned that idea.

“Kid, your father risked his life to save you; I can't let you die.”

“Then you'll accompany this old man on a journey.”

“If I weren't so pressed for time, I would have definitely sent you back to Qiyang City first.”

“But the calamity of the Ghost Corpse Temple is imminent, so I have no choice but to take you with me.”

Grabbing a large sheet of cloth, Qi Longhu tied the child to his chest.

He mounted his black horse and galloped towards Wuwu Mountain.

Qiyang City, Tianfu Inn.

Inspector Zou, who had just woken up, was enjoying his breakfast of four dishes and one soup.

The chef at Tianfu Inn was surprisingly good, and Inspector Zou was very satisfied with the meal.

“Alas...”

Putting down his chopsticks, Inspector Zou began to sigh again.

“The Emperor's command cannot be defied; I'll just have to grit my teeth and do it.”

Dressing in his official uniform, Inspector Zou got into the carriage prepared for him by the Five Spirits Gang.

“Go, to Vice Gang Leader Chen's house.”

The coachman nodded silently, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

The carriage was quite comfortable, with all the seats being soft.

Even the walls of the carriage were covered with a layer of luxurious brocade.

“These bumpkins certainly know how to enjoy themselves.”

With a chuckle, Inspector Zou picked up his tea and took a sip.

“It's just that this tea is too poor, like grass clippings.”

In fact, the cup of tea Chen Fugui had brewed for him yesterday was also quite bad, but he couldn't show it because Chen Heng was present.

He could only force himself to praise it.

“Small places are just small places; everyone is a bumpkin.”

“They get the worst tea from the Imperial Capital and treat it like some treasure.”

Inspector Zou shook his head and took another sip of the tea in his cup.

Suddenly, the carriage shook violently, and hot tea spilled all over Inspector Zou.

“You servant, how do you drive this carriage?”

“Don't you know I am an Honored Guest of your Vice Gang Leader Chen?”

“Are you tired of living?!”

Suddenly, a voice sounded in Inspector Zou's ear.

“Oh ho, Inspector Zou, your temper is quite fiery this early in the morning.”

This nearly scared him to death, and he quickly shrank back.

Looking up, he saw it was Chen Heng, smiling broadly.

“Heh heh, when did Vice Gang Leader Chen arrive?”

Inspector Zou forced a smile.

He dared not offend the person in front of him.

Inspector Zou had inquired around; this Chen Heng was a ruthless individual who would resort to violence at the slightest disagreement.

“Just arrived.” Chen Heng sat opposite Inspector Zou, picked up a teacup, and took a sip.

“The tea is good, wouldn't you say, Inspector Zou?”

Chen Heng had naturally heard what the old man had just said; now he was asking knowingly.

“It is indeed good tea, good tea!”

Inspector Zou dared not utter a single negative word and quickly followed the conversation.

“By the way, Inspector Zou.” Chen Heng put down his teacup, his smile turning somewhat sinister.

“Do you know that the two people you brought yesterday are already dead?”
