Chapter 039 Digging a Trap

Wang Bo did not mind Yan Shisan's tone of voice, instead saying, "Yan Nantian can indeed be called a great hero, but if you, Yan Shisan, are willing to help me, it would be an immeasurable merit. Not just a great hero, even a supreme hero would be worthy."

Yan Shisan said, "Why should I help you?"

Feng Siniang stepped forward and said, "Because you don't want to be a dead man either. Isn't that reason enough? Or do you intend to be a dead man for the rest of your life?"

Yan Shisan said coldly, "Everyone dies."

Feng Siniang smiled and said, "It's true that everyone dies, but as long as one can live, who wants to die? You must have forgotten, what fine wine and good food taste like."

Yan Shisan's face grew even colder.

Feng Siniang pulled out a wineskin, opened the stopper, and slowly savored it. "Top-grade daughter's wine, a hundred-year vintage. What do you think?"

Yan Shisan looked at Feng Siniang with shock. The dead have no sense of taste, but Feng Siniang's expression did not seem feigned; it was as if she truly could taste the wine.

At that moment, Feng Siniang suddenly reached out to grab Yan Shisan's eyeball.

Yan Shisan grabbed her wrist, but soon discovered with astonishment that her pulse was beating, stronger than ever.

Feng Siniang shook her hand, freed herself from Yan Shisan's grip, and withdrew.

"What do you think?"

"You've come back to life?" Yan Shisan grew even more suspicious. "How did you do it? How can a dead person come back to life? Impossible!"

Feng Siniang glanced at Wang Bo and said, "Since the Zombie King could turn us into the dead, naturally there is someone who can turn us back into the living. In such a person's eyes, what are life and death?"

Yan Shisan fell silent.

Wang Bo quietly watched the exchange between Feng Siniang and Yan Shisan. He had brought Feng Siniang here hoping she could persuade Yan Shisan.

So far, the effect was good; Yan Shisan was indeed moved.

It seemed not all of these people were loyal to the Zombie King. But thinking it over, they had all been forcibly taken by the Zombie King for live experiments and turned into zombies.

Wang Bo did not believe they were loyal to the Zombie King.

However, the Zombie King was cautious, using spells to bind them, forcing them to work for him.

After all, apart from Wang Bo, probably no one was willing to help them.

If they encountered the underworld's Yin gods, their fate would be death, their ashes scattered.

So, helpless, they could only work for the Zombie King.

They couldn't even commit suicide.

Wang Bo had learned this from Feng Siniang.

Recently, Yan Shisan had been frantically attacking other swordsmen, not because he had gone mad, but probably hoping to be killed by the martial world.

But he soon found he had underestimated the Zombie King and overestimated the martial artists; they couldn't kill him. So lately, after killing the Pine Sword Master, he stopped challenging other experts and hid in the funeral parlor, playing dead.

After a moment of silence, Yan Shisan turned to Wang Bo and said, "What do you want me to do?"

Wang Bo smiled and said, "Help me find the Zombie King, determine his location. If possible, I hope you can lure him here."

With no news from Hela yet, Wang Bo had to rely on Yan Shisan.

Yan Shisan said, "I will help you contact the Zombie King, but whether I can lure him here, I don't know if it will succeed."

"So we need to come up with a perfect excuse to trick the Zombie King."

Wang Bo already had an idea for this.

He decided to use White Impermanence. Only White Impermanence could make the Zombie King take the bait.

So he discussed his plan with Yan Shisan, who nodded and said, "Agreed."

Wang Bo then contacted Lady Gremory.

"I need White Impermanence to come to Luoyang City," Wang Bo said.

"No problem, leave it to me," Lady Gremory agreed readily.

The next day, Wang Bo entered Luoyang City and found a tavern to sit in. Before long, he saw White Impermanence enter the city.

Wang Bo sent a signal. White Impermanence saw it and came to the tavern, finding Wang Bo.

"What do you want from me?"

"I have a plan that needs your help," Wang Bo said slowly, explaining his plan to White Impermanence.

White Impermanence listened, pondered for a moment, and said, "The Zombie King is very cautious; he may not fall for it."

"Whether he falls for it or not, we won't know until we try," Wang Bo countered.

White Impermanence thought it over and said, "Alright."

Then Wang Bo left Luoyang City with White Impermanence. Since White Impermanence was a Yin god and only visible to those near death, few in Luoyang saw them leave together.

Soon, a thunderous roar came from outside Luoyang City.

Many martial artists, hearing the noise, rushed toward the direction outside the city. When they arrived, they saw a scene of devastation.

The ground was shattered, trees toppled, boulders turned to dust. The scene was utter chaos.

Many gasped.

Such destruction was beyond human power. Many knelt and prayed, believing it was the wrath of gods or spirits.

Then, Yan Shisan contacted the Zombie King through his essence blood, telling him he had seen a woman in white and a man fighting outside Luoyang City.

Their battle was earth-shattering.

He vaguely heard the man call the woman in white 'White Impermanence.'

After the fight, the man captured White Impermanence and hid in a valley outside Luoyang City.

This news was the trap Wang Bo had set for the Zombie King.

The Zombie King was undoubtedly the mortal enemy of the underworld. Now, a man who opposed the underworld's Yin god had appeared and even captured White Impermanence. Hearing this, the Zombie King would surely be tempted.

Putting himself in the Zombie King's shoes, if Wang Bo were the Zombie King, he would definitely come to verify the truth.

The Zombie King was not an idiot; he must know the saying 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend.' Since he was fighting alone, having a friend would make things much smoother.

That was also why he had gone to find Hela.

Even if the Zombie King suspected it was a trap, he would at least check it out.
