Chapter 62

In an instant, the malevolent aura within Bai Chen completely dissipated.

Bai Chen began to emit a golden radiance, and everyone instantly felt that something had changed about him.

Everyone’s eyes were filled with surprise and confusion.

The corners of Bai Chen’s mouth twitched slightly, as if he were muttering something.

Bai Chen clasped his hands together and took a step forward.

This step seemed to span an eternal time, causing everything to come to a halt.

Everyone’s minds went blank.

No one understood what had happened; at that moment, even the sun in the sky could not match the radiance of this young man.

That figure, which should have been ordinary, exuded an aura that could not be desecrated.

The giant zombie’s body trembled slightly and, with a thud, it knelt behind Bai Chen.

With a devout expression, it prostrated itself on the ground.

"This... This is the Holy Sound of Brahma?" Mei Jiangxue’s face suddenly changed, her tone filled with disbelief.

The Medicine Venerable and Poison Venerable’s faces changed even more drastically. Long Xing and Gongsun Chenxing did not understand what the Holy Sound of Brahma was, but the two Venerables did.

Ten years ago, during the zombie disaster, the Tianyi Sect and the Wudu Sect clashed, involving various martial arts sects.

As the turmoil was about to begin, a mysterious person appeared, and with a single recitation of a cryptic and eerie chant, countless zombies from the two sects lost control and knelt before this person.

The war that was supposed to devastate the world was halted by the appearance of the mysterious person.

In the end, the flags were lowered, and both sides retreated, bringing ten more years of peace to the martial arts world.

However, the mysterious person came and went silently, and no one knew his identity.

Only the cryptic chant that left everyone guessing was known as the Holy Sound of Brahma in the martial arts world.

The looks on the faces of the Poison Venerable and Medicine Venerable as they looked at Bai Chen became even more astonished and doubtful.

"Could he be the disciple of that mysterious person?"

"There is a possibility... The mysterious person came and went without a trace, his identity a mystery, and Bai brother’s identity is also quite intriguing. Coupled with his incomprehensible martial arts techniques, he might truly be the disciple of that mysterious person."

The Holy Sound of Brahma arises, and all evil retreats.

The sacred words end, and the world is purified.

This was how the martial arts world described the mysterious person, but Mei Jiangxue and the others never imagined that they would hear the Holy Sound of Brahma again after ten years.

Although this scene was far from the battle between the two sects ten years ago, Bai Chen was not as profound and unfathomable as the mysterious person.

At least in their eyes, Bai Chen was still a junior.

However, this junior was shrouded in mystery.

Like the mysterious person, he gave people a sense of being inscrutable.

The crowd of zombies, which had been surging forward, suddenly stopped.

The zombies, which should have been mindless, all looked at Bai Chen with a strange gaze.

They seemed to sense Bai Chen’s presence, but it was not a look; it was a feeling.

Everyone present found this scene both familiar and strange.

"It really is the Holy Sound of Brahma!!"

Suddenly, the crowd of zombies burst into a howl, and countless zombies raised their heads and howled to the sky.

Then, like stalks of wheat, they fell one after another and began to burn.

Some zombies had not even fallen when their remains started to burn.

However, none of the zombies struggled; instead, they seemed to be experiencing a form of liberation.

With each step Bai Chen took, more zombies fell.

Everyone drew a sharp breath. In their memory, the Holy Sound of Brahma of the mysterious person only subdued the zombies.

But Bai Chen’s Holy Sound of Brahma directly eliminated the zombies.

Was it because the mysterious person deliberately held back, or was Bai Chen’s Holy Sound of Brahma stronger?

Of course, Mei Jiangxue and the two Venerables leaned towards the former.

After all, the mysterious person’s profound and unfathomable nature was far beyond that of the current Bai Chen.

The purpose of the mysterious person’s appearance was to resolve the conflict, not to create more trouble.

However, Bai Chen’s identity as the disciple of the mysterious person was now confirmed.

No one had any doubt, especially seeing the giant zombie kneeling behind Bai Chen.

If this zombie had any evil intentions, it would have been purified by Bai Chen.

Gradually—

No one knew how many zombies had been purified, but the number of zombies emerging from the insect tomb began to decrease.

They no longer came in large groups.

However, Bai Chen seemed to have reached his limit. His body swayed in front of the insect tomb, looking extremely exhausted.

At this moment, a roar came from inside the cave.

Another giant zombie rushed out of the insect tomb, but this one was not there to submit to Bai Chen.

Its murderous aura was overwhelming, and the giant blade it wielded unleashed a destructive force that no one could withstand.

Seeing the situation, Mei Jiangxue knew it was bad. At this moment, Bai Chen had no way to defend against such an attack and immediately wanted to rush forward to help.

However, a figure moved even faster. The giant zombie behind Bai Chen suddenly pounced forward, knocking the second giant zombie to the ground. With a ruthless move, it snapped the second giant zombie’s head from its neck.

At this moment, the giant zombie stood like a guardian, firmly protecting Bai Chen.

Everyone was stunned. A zombie actually protecting a human, and one with no connection to it.

Suddenly, Bai Chen’s eyes widened, and a golden light shot out from them, piercing into the dark insect tomb.

The once dark and deep insect tomb was instantly illuminated, and every corner was covered in golden light.

The zombies that had not yet emerged were exposed under this golden light.

The golden light did not harm the giant zombie in front of Bai Chen.

It seemed to distinguish between good and evil. The zombies inside the insect tomb instinctively used their hands to block the golden light.

However, this golden light was a divine light that punished evil. No matter how deeply the zombies hid, they could not escape purification.

Everyone standing outside the cave heard the cries of agony from inside the insect tomb.

Then there was absolute silence, so quiet that a pin dropping could be heard.

Everyone was dazed, and no one knew how long it had been before Long Xing, as if waking from a dream, asked, "Is it over?"

Only then did everyone realize and their gazes returned to Bai Chen.

Bai Chen’s body suddenly went limp, and he fell backward.

The giant zombie quickly caught him, and Qin Kelan rushed to Bai Chen’s side.

When Bai Chen woke up, he did not know how long it had been, but he felt as if his entire body was about to fall apart, and he was extremely uncomfortable.

Qin Kelan and Gongsun Chenxing had been by his bedside the whole time. The slightest movement from Bai Chen woke them up.

"You’re awake."

"How do you feel now?"

"Is there any place that still hurts?"

"Should we call the Medicine Venerable?"

Qin Kelan and Gongsun Chenxing’s caring questions warmed Bai Chen’s heart.

Having someone care for him felt incredibly comforting.

Bai Chen felt that all his efforts had been worth it.

"Miss Gongsun, I’m fine now. I think you’re tired. Why don’t you go rest? I have some things to talk about with Kelan." Bai Chen licked his dry lips and looked at the now recovered Qin Kelan, feeling a surge of emotion.

Qin Kelan’s bashful appearance made Bai Chen even more unable to control himself.

Her expression seemed to say, "Take me."

However, Gongsun Chenxing’s face turned cold, her eyes filled with resentment.

"The Medicine Venerable said that your injuries are not fully healed, and you should not indulge in lust, as it could hinder your future cultivation."

Bai Chen pouted and gently hugged Qin Kelan’s arm, pulling her to the bed. He said casually, "You’re thinking too much. I just want to talk to my Kelan. Why are you thinking so much?"

Gongsun Chenxing was so angry that she felt like her seven orifices were on fire. She knew this scoundrel would say something like this, yet she still had to face him.

"Take care of yourself!" With that, Gongsun Chenxing angrily left.

Qin Kelan gave Bai Chen a slightly reproachful look, but her soft gaze made Bai Chen’s heart race.

"Miss Gongsun has been by your bedside for the past two days. Can’t you be a bit gentler with her?"

"I’m not her man. What does it matter if I’m gentle or not?" Bai Chen said indifferently.

"How do you think she feels about you?"

"Even if there are thousands of rivers, I only drink from one. In this life, having you is enough."

Hearing this, Qin Kelan collapsed into Bai Chen’s arms, feeling that there was no one in the world gentler than him.

Bai Chen’s thoughts were simple, and his requirements were low.

Although Mei Jiangxue had once made his heart flutter, she was like a phoenix on a high branch, beautiful to look at but unapproachable.

Now, with Qin Kelan, who was devoted to him, what more could he ask for?

"Before, I never realized you were so smooth-talking."

"If you had known earlier, you might have fallen for me long ago." Bai Chen chuckled, looking at Qin Kelan’s graceful figure, feeling immensely satisfied.

"Three thousand rivers, but I only drink from one!"

Outside the door, Gongsun Chenxing felt a sharp pain in her heart.

Her vision blurred, and tears streamed down her face.

The two people inside, lost in their own world, did not consider the feelings of others.

"Don’t..."

Qin Kelan softly called out, grabbing the hand that was about to advance.

At this moment, her face was flushed, her eyes misty, her breath sweet and slightly disordered.

Bai Chen thought that with Qin Kelan’s compliance, he could take things further.

But to his surprise, just as his desire was ignited, Qin Kelan pushed him away, her face a mix of amusement and frustration.

"Kelan’s great vengeance has not been avenged. Yin Jueqing killed my loved ones and destroyed my sect. When the day comes for Yin Jueqing to pay, Kelan will surely comply with you."

Although Bai Chen was consumed by desire, hearing Qin Kelan’s words, he could not bring himself to act.

"Your enemy is my enemy. The debt of the Danqi Sect will be avenged by me."

As Bai Chen said these words, he could not help but reflect on how things had changed. He had come to Qingzhou City to deal with the Danqi Sect, but now he was tasked with avenging them. The world was truly unpredictable.

Qin Kelan nodded slightly, forcing a smile, and gently leaned into Bai Chen’s embrace.

Bai Chen did not see the tears in Qin Kelan’s eyes, the hopelessness in her gaze.

At this moment, the door opened, and the two Venerables and Mei Jiangxue entered one after another.

Bai Chen looked at the three of them with dissatisfaction. Sometimes, communication between people was so difficult. Couldn’t they have chosen a better time to enter?
