108: Queen of the Blue Sky

"How is it?" the Xiao Family's Great Elder asked.

Xiao Sheng shook his head: "When I went, he was already in seclusion."

"In seclusion? That's a bit of a shame," the Xiao Family's Great Elder lamented, "Let's quickly take our things and head back."

The three members of the Xiao Family, carrying a pile of healing medicines, as well as various other enhancement potions, extraordinary weapons, and items, quickly hurried in the direction of the Xiao Family.

As time passed, the Corpse Tide's offensive began to slow.

The Blood-Fallen Corpse King and Yuguang Heavenly Queen fought several times, but each encounter ended quickly. Even though the Yuguang Heavenly Queen greatly restrained the Blood-Fallen Corpse King, the powerful and deeply entrenched Blood-Fallen Corpse King was still able to retreat unscathed, with neither side able to decisively defeat the other.

As for why other Heavenly King and Heavenly Queen-level Experts from Xingyao Safe Zone didn't come, it was, of course, to guard against other potential sudden appearances of Heavenly King and Heavenly Queen-level Experts.

Moreover, even if the Molten Flame Heavenly King and Celestial Empress of Azure Heaven had come, it would only result in the Blood-Fallen Corpse King escaping, then returning, in a repeated cycle of attrition. It is extremely difficult to truly kill a Heavenly King or Heavenly Queen.

Therefore, Xingyao Safe Zone's strategy was to ensure that the Blood-Fallen Corpse King could not affect others.

As for killing the Blood-Fallen Corpse King, Xingyao Safe Zone's high-ranking officials wished they could tear him to shreds. Decades ago, Xingyao Safe Zone even launched a full-scale assault, ambushing the Blood-Fallen Corpse King. After paying a huge price and using many of its hidden resources, they tore him to shreds, burned him to ashes, ground his bones to dust, and scattered his soul. They thought he was dead, but who would have thought he could shape a second body from flesh and blood, and with this second body, recover in just a few years.

From then on, Xingyao Safe Zone completely abandoned the idea of killing him, as no one knew if he had a second, or even a third or fourth body.

Instead of expending immense resources to kill him, it was better to cultivate a few more level seven Experts, even if they were only A-Rank Talent level seven Experts, they would be enough to guard a region.

Many leaders of small and medium-sized Safe Zones were only Experts of this level.

The Infected in the Corpse Tide grew fewer and fewer, eventually becoming scarce! They even had to compete to kill them.

This is the foundation of a large Safe Zone, the foundation of a Safe Zone with Heavenly King and Heavenly Queen-level Experts!

Facing the Corpse Tide directly, blocking it outside the Safe Zone, and Xingyao Safe Zone was even more powerful, even intercepting the Corpse Tide outside the Post Station.

"Blood-Fallen Corpse King, what exactly did the Old Days Society give you that you would sacrifice hundreds of thousands of Infected?" Yuguang Heavenly Queen stood in the void, her entire body enveloped in dazzling light, like a blazing sun.

"Heh, want to know? Just give me a hundred thousand blood meals, and I'll tell you," the Blood-Fallen Corpse King's childlike voice carried a hint of mischief, but if one were truly deceived by this innocent voice, they would definitely be eaten until not even bone fragments remained.

"If you dare to step beyond the Post Station, I don't mind letting you be enveloped in my radiance for the next few years," Yuguang Heavenly Queen said indifferently.

The Blood-Fallen Corpse King seemed to recall something, feeling his skin burn again, and instinctively rubbed himself, baring his fangs at Yuguang Heavenly Queen: "Hmph hmph, who cares about your Xingyao Safe Zone's blood meals."

It's impossible not to care. Although the Infected are extremely afraid of sunlight, humans raised under sunlight are a great tonic for them. Eating enough can even lead to direct evolution!

And sunlight, in this current apocalypse, is a rare commodity. People who can be raised under sunlight are hard to find. This is also why the Blood-Fallen Corpse King, after being chased and beaten several times, eventually ran back. For him, at his level, eating ordinary humans could no longer lead to evolution or advancement, but the people in Xingyao Safe Zone, those raised under sunlight, were incredibly delicious, especially their brain matter.

Seemingly thinking of something delicious, the Blood-Fallen Corpse King's mouth watered, revealing a fierce expression. A cold gaze swept over, and the Blood-Fallen Corpse King's eyes instantly cleared, shyly revealing a smile: "Hehe, sorry, Big Sister, I was thinking of delicious brain matter. How about Big Sister lets me eat a few?"

The Blood-Fallen Corpse King's gaze swept towards the ground.

The next second, thousands of light-rain swords burst forth!

"Ouch ouch ouch! Hey, old hag! I was just joking! Just a joke, why are you so serious!"

The two Experts started fighting again.

Boom!

Boom!

The earth suddenly trembled, as if a great earthquake had occurred.

The Blood-Fallen Corpse King immediately withdrew, laughing loudly: "Hahahaha, he's here! Yuguang old hag, you're in for it now!"

Yuguang Heavenly Queen's gaze instantly became solemn, her heart shaking: "Forbidden Zone Beast King! How did the Forbidden Zone Beast King of North Ridge also come!"

She saw a mountain range moving in the distance.

It wasn't a mountain, it was a snake!

The Forbidden Zone Beast King, Beast!

Beast raised its head, its upper half rising like a pillar supporting the heavens.

The Talent Users of Xingyao Safe Zone, who were originally preparing to retreat after eliminating the Corpse Tide, instantly stiffened, looking up in disbelief.

An uncontrollable fear rose in their hearts!

"What, what is that!"

"Oh my god, is that a snake, a snake!"

"But how does it have a cat's head!"

"Is it... coming towards our Safe Zone?"

"What kind of giant Beast is this? It probably could crush tens of thousands of people just by its entire body pressing down!"

"Gulp! I, I remember now, this seems to be the Forbidden Zone Beast King of North Ridge, Beast!"

"Beast?"

"Yes, yes! It's him! Back then, a medium-sized Safe Zone a thousand miles south of North Ridge was completely massacred by this Forbidden Zone Beast King! Overnight, a medium-sized Safe Zone with nearly a million people turned into a dead zone covered in poisonous miasma!"

"Wh-what? You're kidding, right? Massacred an entire medium-sized Safe Zone! That's a medium-sized Safe Zone, with at least several level seven Experts and hundreds of thousands of people!"

"How could it be fake? This happened thirty years ago, and that Safe Zone is still covered by a poisonous miasma that never dissipates."

"I say, what are you afraid of? Is being big that impressive? It's just a cat-headed snake, what's there to be afraid of? The destruction of that medium-sized Safe Zone was because they didn't have Heavenly King or Heavenly Queen-level Experts, but we are Xingyao Safe Zone here! Four Heavenly King and Heavenly Queen-level Experts! Even if the Forbidden Zone Beast King comes, it has to kneel before me!"

"Exactly! Maybe we'll even have a feast today. When they start fighting, there might be Forbidden Zone Beast King flesh everywhere. That's Forbidden Zone Beast King flesh, a great tonic!"

"I heard that the flesh of the Forbidden Zone Beast King Li Hui not only nourishes yin and kidney, but also strengthens yang."

"Strengthens yang? Really?" Speaking of strengthening yang, the men became excited, and the women were no longer tired, thinking about how to pick some up to bring home for their husbands.

Suddenly, a towering green vine shot up from Xingyao Safe Zone!

The Wasteland Hunters, Star Army, and disciples of various great families outside instantly became excited, their faces flushed with emotion.

"It's the Celestial Empress of Azure Heaven!"

"Celestial Empress of Azure Heaven!"
