Chapter 325: Chapter 327: Huang Xuan’s Return! Fury!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~
A series of howling sounds emanated from the sky above Cangyue Mountain.
At this moment, Huang Xuan, whose face was pale, rode on the fierce bird and slowly descended to the foot of the mountain.
However, he was not met with the expected welcoming ceremony along the path, which caused Huang Xuan to frown.
“What’s going on? Didn’t anyone realize that their sect leader has returned?”
Unexpectedly, as soon as he jumped off the fierce bird’s back, the scene before him left Huang Xuan stunned.
Instantly, a mix of rage and shock twisted Huang Xuan’s face, and he roared out loud.
“Damn it, who did this? Who dared to kill the people of my Beast King Sect!”
He saw a heap of human and fierce beast corpses piled together at the foot of the mountain, already starting to decay and emitting a dense stench of rot. Among them were many faces familiar to Huang Xuan, all of them followers of his Beast King Sect!
At the same time, the mountain path showed signs of extensive damage with the surroundings stained with dried dark-red blood, densely packed, indicating that a fierce battle had erupted here before.
At this moment, Huang Xuan’s face was ashen. He had never imagined that such a drastic change would occur in the sect during his brief outing.
Thinking about how no followers had come to greet him upon his return, Huang Xuan felt an ominous foreboding in his heart.
Clearly, the Beast King Sect must have been invaded by enemies, and their strength must have been terribly strong, causing heavy casualties among the sect members.
Summoning the mutated pangolin and fierce bird to guard himself, Huang Xuan walked cautiously and warily towards the mountain.
The further he walked up the mountain, the darker his face became, and the worse his mood turned. The reason was simple: the bodies of the Beast King Sect’s followers were rotting all around him, making it impossible for him to feel any joy.
He walked all the way to the cave, not seeing a single survivor, only the bodies of his followers, which fueled his wrath and anger.
Needless to guess, the Beast King Sect had been annihilated!
He had previously been smug over the successful scheme against Shanchuan Base City, only to find that his own Beast King Sect had been wiped out without him even realizing it.
“Damn bastards, don’t let me find out who you are!”
Huang Xuan gritted his teeth, speaking viciously.
Just then, Huang Xuan suddenly felt a prying gaze.
“Who’s there! Get out here!”
Huang Xuan instantly turned his head, his eyes sharp as electricity, looking towards the distant forest.
Screech!
At the same time, the fierce bird circling above screeched and shot towards the forest, its sharp claws slashing forward viciously.
“Sect Leader! Sect Leader, it’s me, don’t kill me!”
At this moment, a trembling plea for mercy came from the forest, as a ragged figure, resembling a beggar, cautiously stepped out.
“It’s you, you’re still alive. What about the others in the sect? Are they all dead?”
Huang Xuan somewhat remembered the person who emerged, as one of the few flying Evolvers, his impression of him was deeper compared to the other followers.
The Evolver, relieved of the crisis, exhaled deeply, looking at the returning Sect Leader with great excitement, and walked over energetically.
“Sect Leader! I’ve finally waited for your return, it’s our Beast King Sect, Beast King Sect…”
The Evolver, emotionally agitated, greeted Huang Xuan haltingly.
“Quick, tell me! Who exactly did this?”
Finally finding a survivor, Huang Xuan hurriedly urged, seeking the truth.
“It was evolved zombies, powerful evolved zombies! Four of them! A total of four fourth-tier evolved zombies quickly breached our Beast King Sect, and Dharma Protector Jiang died in battle, and our brothers were mercilessly slaughtered.
If I hadn’t left quickly after realizing the situation, I would have ended up like those brothers…”
The previously calm Evolver hurriedly revealed the culprit, his eyes filled with fear.
“What? Fourth-tier evolved zombies? How’s that possible?”
Hearing this, Huang Xuan was utterly shocked, looking at him in disbelief.
The zombies in Shanchuan City had mostly been cleared out, so where did these fourth-tier zombies come from?
Even in the countryside, having a few first or second-tier evolved zombies was already something significant. Fourth-tier evolved zombies were impossible, not to mention four of them — it was utterly ludicrous.
“It’s true, Sect Leader, everything I said is what I saw with my own eyes, every word is true!”
Seeing the Sect Leader’s disbelief, the Evolver panicked and hurriedly said.
“Don’t be anxious, I definitely believe you. It’s just that there are too many suspicious points in this matter, like, for instance, where did all the vegetables from these plots of land go?”
Huang Xuan’s face was somber. He raised his hand to halt the Evolver, casting his gaze towards the barren vegetable plots.
Upon hearing this, the Evolver looked over in puzzlement and was instantly stunned by the sight of the bare plots.
“This… this, Sect Leader, I don’t know either. I fled in such haste, and then I secretly returned to Cangyue Mountain, only daring to linger on the outskirts. So I’m not familiar with what happened to these plots!”
“These plots, it’s clear that they were harvested by people…”
Huang Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze shifting subtly.
“Let’s go in and take a look!”
A sharp gleam flashed in his eyes as he walked briskly into the cave, leaving the Evolver, at a loss, quickly following up.
In a short time, Huang Xuan had traversed the entire cave, finding the warehouse almost emptied and many resources lost. Even his own sect leader’s cave was ransacked, and the documents about Thunderous Roar on the table were missing.
Sitting within the cave, Huang Xuan’s eyes flickered with coolness, and a chilliness crept into his heart. This matter was clearly much more complicated than a mere act by evolved zombies.
What use could evolved zombies have for these supplies? Could they even eat them?
In the next moment, Huang Xuan’s gaze once again fell on the Evolver standing by, frowning as he asked: “During my absence from the sect, did we offend any enemies?”
“Enemies, there shouldn’t be any… oh right, I overheard in their casual chats that there was a third-tier Evolver who came to Shanchuan City. The Dharma Protector sent people to recruit him, but there’s been no news for several days, seemingly, the brothers sent met with some accident…”
The Evolver thought for a moment, speaking hesitantly.
A third-tier Evolver?
Huang Xuan’s frown deepened, then his expression turned dark again as he spoke coldly: “No matter who it is, daring to wipe out my Beast King Sect will cost them dearly!”
The Beast King Sect was essentially his life’s work since the apocalypse; it couldn’t be inexplicably destroyed!
Whoever believes they can run and relax, it’s wishful thinking!
In the next moment, the mutated pangolin under Huang Xuan’s command emerged from the ground outside the cave, walked into the cave, sniffed around, and remembered the zombie aura left in the warehouse.
Afterward, the mutated pangolin exited the cave once more, burrowed into the ground, and followed the zombies’ trail to pursue them.
