I Am Overlord Chapter 1788: Ge Yi Has Accepted A Good Disciple

Chapter 1788: Ge Yi Has Accepted A Good Disciple

The forbidden grounds known as the Wumo Pass was zombie territory. Money might be strong, but when powerful God Realm zombies appeared, they gave him quite a hard time.
Sure, Money's combat prowess was incredible, but the zombies seemed impervious to damage, fighting in a suicidal manner, making things difficult for Money. Furthermore, the zombies had the advantage in number. Money could face these opponents alone, but it was not really possible for him to obtain the absolute upper hand against so many of them.
One could see just how strong the zombies were. The Wumo Pass was truly a good place to produce zombies. From a different direction, a group of people had sensed the battle in the zombie territory. They were all astonished.
These people were from a Guardians Guild branch. They had gathered a decent number of people to make a stand against the zombies. Unfortunately, after the lord guardian Huang Tian was injured, they could no longer stop the zombies' advance.
They had wanted to join forces with other organizations to fight the zombies, but the various organizations had only perfunctorily sent them a small number of cultivators. None of them actually used their true strength against the zombies.
It was understandable why the human race was known as selfish. When they saw someone else take the initiative to attack the zombies, everyone was shocked.
"Those don't seem to be our people. A demonic beast is fighting against the zombies."
"Who cares? So long as someone is fighting the zombies, it will help us. If things remain the same, it will only be a matter of time before the Western Desert belongs to the zombies."
"Too bad Lord Huang Tian is injured and no other lord guardian is coming to face the Zombie God. How are we supposed to face the Zombie God?"
"The dominion is facing enemies internally and externally. The guild has used all its strength. Too bad there still isn't enough unity among us."
"I really wish they would appoint the young guild master soon. That will allow the guild to consolidate everyone under a single command channel during war. We can then end this disaster once and for all."
...
Money was unable to withstand the attacks of so many God Realm zombies. He was ultimately forced to flee the cloud of corpse energy. At this time, the Guardians Guild's group was focusing on the battle. When they saw that the person who had escaped the cloud was a demonic beast, they were hit with a sense of disappointment. They were hoping they would see a human.
Right this moment, a figure appeared before Money and punched the pursuing zombies to pulp. The Guardians Guild members were all stunned when they witnessed the brutish yet simple punch. Next, Xiang Shaoyun spat a clump of primal chaos flame toward the corpse energy clouds, aiming to erase the source of the corpse energy pervading the area.
Today, he would have a good talk with the Zombie God. The terrifying primal chaos flame was far more destructive than a regular flame. Instantly, the corpse energy clouds were burned to nothingness, forcing many of the zombies to hide underground. The zombies would not dare to try anything for a while.
A voice rang out, "Whoever you are, withdraw your disgusting flame, or I'll turn you into my first divine general!"
The voice was hoarse and unpleasant to the ear. It belonged to none other than the Zombie God. The Zombie God was evidently aware of Xiang Shaoyun's powerful combat strength, as he did not attack immediately.
"You should stay in your Wumo Pass instead of spreading calamity everywhere. Agree or die," demanded Xiang Shaoyun with a nonchalant tone.
"Tsk, tsk, how arrogant. Not even Yuan Shi from back then dared to speak like this with me. Do you think you're Yuan Shi reincarnated? Get over here!" said the Zombie God with a sneer as he formed a palm out of corpse energy and grabbed at Xiang Shaoyun.
The Guardians Guild members hurriedly distanced themselves from the battlefield, not daring to get anywhere near the attack. Some of them managed to recognize the person conversing with the Zombie God. That person was none other than Xiang Shaoyun, one of the young guild master candidates.
They were confused as to why he was there. He should be outside the dominion fighting the aliens.
Xiang Shaoyun did not do anything. Instead, Ming Shi appeared before him and stopped the terrifying palm.
"This fellow is a formidable opponent," said Ming Shi solemnly.
"Can you beat some obedience into him?" asked Xiang Shaoyun.
"That shouldn't be a problem," replied Ming Shi before diving into the thick mist of corpse energy and attacking the Zombie God, who was buried deep under the ground.
Ming Shi's attack was world-shaking, threatening to flatten the entirety of the Wumo Pass. Even a blind person could see that an attack this powerful was from someone beyond the God Realm, which was also known as the Rebirth Realm.
Huang Tian, who had been recuperating not far from the Wumo Pass, opened his eyes and instantly appeared beside the Guardians Guild members. They all hurriedly saluted him. He ignored them. Instead, he focused on Xiang Shaoyun with shock in his eyes. When his gaze landed on Ming Shi, doubt appeared.
"Young friend, can I invite you over for a bit?" transmitted Huang Tian.
Huang Tian wasn't summoning Xiang Shaoyun because he was putting on airs. Rather, he had been infected by corpse poison and couldn't afford to get too close to the Zombie God or things would become very troublesome for him. Xiang Shaoyun did not refuse the invitation; Huang Tian was a senior worthy of respect.
Xiang Shaoyun arrived before Huang Tian with Money and saluted. "Greetings, Senior Huang."
Huang Tian was an unassuming old man. His hair was yellow, and so were his teeth. He was also bare-footed. Nobody would have expected that this sloppy old man would actually be one of the dominion's few lord guardians.
Huang Tian was a Five Revolutions expert and wasn't much weaker than Ge Yi. Furthermore, he wasn't an ordinary cultivator whose strength could be judged solely from his cultivation level.
"Ge Yi has accepted a good disciple," lamented Huang Tian.
He could confirm that Xiang Shaoyun had reached the One Revolution Realm. With his age, he had surpassed not only his peers but also many ancient legends.
"Senior Huang is too generous," said Xiang Shaoyun in a humble manner. "Senior Huang, are you poisoned?"
"You can see it, right?" Huang Tian sighed. "This corpse poison is very domineering. I need more time to deal with it. For now, it won't be a smart idea to provoke that Zombie God, as this old man won't be able to stop it."
"Don't worry, Senior Huang. That thing will be much more obedient before long," said Xiang Shaoyun. "If you trust me, why don't I help you remove the poison?"
"This poison is very difficult to deal with. I should deal with it myself," said Huang Tian, who did not want to trouble Xiang Shaoyun. If he, as a Five Revolutions expert, was having difficulty with the poison, he did not think that Xiang Shaoyun could do anything to it either.
But when a plume of primal chaos flame appeared in Xiang Shaoyun's palm, Huang Tian grew excited. He said, "Looks like this old man still underestimated you, young friend. The primal chaos flame is the bane of all poisons. It is enough to help me."
