Immortal in The Apocalypse

The man chased Shu Ling and the others for more than an hour. When Shu Ling and the other zombies appeared again, she fell to the ground motionless.

Seeing that she was lying motionless on the ground, Chen Jianhong quickly picked her up and shouted anxiously: "Shu Ling! Wake up!"

Sensing the cold murderous aura on the mysterious man’s body approaching at fast speed, Shu Ling wanted to use her teleportation ability again, but she had exhausted all her energy.

Since she couldn’t run away, she grabbed Chen Jianhong’s clothes and said weakly: "Elder Brother, he is here. Run, hurry up."

As soon as she finished speaking, all high-ranked zombies felt heavy pressure pressing on them. The next second, a tall man in a cloak appeared ten meters away in front of them.

Chen Jianhong held Shu Ling in his arms, stood up, and asked, "Who are you? Why are you chasing us? Are you working for the secret organization?"

The man didn’t speak for a long time. He raised his hands and pulled down his hood, revealing a handsome but pale face. He looked at Chen Jianhong and the other zombies for a long time before saying, "Interesting."

Although he couldn’t understand what the man said, that one word made Chen Jianhong’s heart tremble. He felt that at this moment, his long-lost fear was back. Looking at his almost transparent body, Chen Jianhong said calmly: "You are not a human being. What are you?"

The man raised his eyebrows and said, "Mhm... How can a mere puppet have a demon core and divine energy in his body at the same time?"

When Chen Jianhong saw this man wearing ancient clothes similar to Zhu Lin’s clothes, he suddenly had a very bad premonition. Hugging Shu Ling tighter in his arms, Chen Jianhong stared at the man vigilantly before suddenly shouted: "Run!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the zombies fled in all directions. Seeing this, the man smiled slightly and said, "Want to run away? How could I let a bunch of interesting puppets run away?"

After saying that, the man waved his hand, and the Yin energy from his body gushed out. As Yin energy rushed towards all the zombies, the man floated to the air. He flicked his hand and controlled the Yin energy to catch all the zombies.

Soon, all the zombies were caught, including Chen Jianhong and Shu Ling. Struggling to free himself from the cold Yin energy that bound his body, Chen Jianhong looked at the man and asked with a hint of fear in his voice: "Who are you?!"

The man tilted his head slightly and said, "The language of this world is indeed different from other small worlds. Mhm... There is actually a language that this king does not understand. Very interesting."

This time, Chen Jianhong heard his words clearly. The language he spoke was the same as the one Zhu Lin used when she was activating the Defensive Sword Formation. Although he didn’t understand the meaning, the strange thing was that every time he heard this kind of language, he would feel the fear deep in his soul.

Since this man could speak the same language as Zhu Lin, Chen Jianhong knew that this man must be from the same place as her. Based on this fact alone, he knew they were in big trouble at this moment.

While the man was still talking to himself, Chen Jianghong secretly pressed the communication device inside the back pocket of his pants. Two seconds later, he heard a beeping sound coming from the communication device.

He looked at the man and said, "Now that you have caught us all, what do you want to do?"

After he said that, the man turned his palm over, and a small black pearl appeared on his palm. He put the black pearl under his tongue and said, "Repeat what you just said."

Chen Jianhong’s eyes flashed in surprise when he heard the man speaking in their language. He looked at the man vigilantly and asked, "Who are you? Where are you from? What do you want from us?"

Hearing Chen Jianhong’s questions, the man frowned slightly. He touched his chin with his long fingers and said, "Before asking this king who I am, shouldn’t you introduce yourself? Do mortals in this world even lack this basic etiquette?"

After a few seconds of silence, Chen Jianhong replied calmly: "My name is Chen Jianhong."

Looking at his calm expression, the man raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "This king likes your calm attitude. Since you are a very interesting puppet, then let this king answer your questions and fulfill your curiosity. This king is the ruler of the Ghost Realm, and all living beings in the Six Realms call this king the Ghost King."

After speaking, he moved his fingers, and the Yin energy pulled Chen Jianhong toward him. Chen Jianhong was restrained by Yin energy and couldn’t even move his fingers. He lowered his eyes and could only wait for the opportunity to escape.

The Ghost King seemed to have read through Chen Jianhong’s mind and chuckled, "I advise you to stop struggling. If you are obedient, you will die painlessly."

He paused for a moment before adding: "Ah, this king forgot that you are a puppet and cannot feel pain"

After speaking, he looked up at the sky and said, "There isn’t much time left."

Looking at Chen Jianhong again, the Ghost King raised Chen Jianhong’s chin with his cold fingers and said, "It’s a pity that such an interesting puppet can only be used as a sacrifice."

He sighed regretfully, then waved his hand and disappeared from there together with Chen Jianhong and other zombies. When the communication between him and Chen Jianhong was cut off, Xiu Wu tightened his grip on the communication device.

He looked at Zhu Lin and said, "Chen Jianhong, Shu Ling, and the other zombies were caught by the Ghost King."
