Chapter 46: The Great Screening

Outside Luoyang, Wang Bo walked along the official road, accompanied by the enchanting Feng Siniang.

Since the Zombie King's death, Feng Siniang felt light and cheerful, her face beaming with smiles, stunningly beautiful, every glance and smile captivating. She looked at Wang Bo and asked with a smile, "Where are you planning to go now?"

Wang Bo said, "To find the last person."

Feng Siniang said, "Wu Ming."

"Exactly." Wang Bo nodded. Since the Zombie King was dead, he naturally wanted to seize this opportunity to eliminate the last person and clear the obstacle completely.

"Do you know where he is?" Feng Siniang asked.

Wang Bo said, "I don't know the exact location, but I know he should be on an overseas island."

Feng Siniang said, "There are many overseas islands. How will you find Wu Ming?"

Wang Bo wasn't worried about this and said with a smile, "Though there are many overseas islands, if I want to find someone, he can't escape."

With a single sweep of his gaze, he could scan countless islands. A mere Wu Ming couldn't escape Wang Bo's grasp.

Feng Siniang thought of Wang Bo's strength and said no more.

Wang Bo asked in return, "Where are you planning to go?"

Feng Siniang said, "To kill someone."

Wang Bo then remembered that when he intercepted Feng Siniang outside the pass, she had said she was going to kill someone, but at that time Wang Bo was concerned about the Zombie King and hadn't paid attention.

Now that the Zombie King was eliminated, Wang Bo couldn't help asking casually, "Who are you going to kill?"

"The Carefree Marquis!"

Wang Bo was startled and couldn't help asking, "You want to kill the Carefree Marquis? The one from the Puppet Manor?"

"That's right." Feng Siniang nodded.

"Why?" Wang Bo didn't understand how the Carefree Marquis had offended Feng Siniang.

But Feng Siniang was unwilling to say more, shaking her head without answering Wang Bo's question.

Seeing this, Wang Bo didn't press further and said, "In that case, let's part ways here. You go kill the Carefree Marquis, and I'll find Wu Ming."

Feng Siniang wasn't one to be sentimental; she cupped her hands and said, "Until we meet again in the jianghu."

Wang Bo grunted in acknowledgment, cupped his hands, and said, "Until we meet again in the jianghu."

With that, the two went their separate ways.

However, Wang Bo didn't head for the overseas islands but instead went to the Divine Sword Manor, because Wang Bo remembered that the Zombie King had once sent someone to contact Hela.

So Wang Bo wanted to ask who had contacted Hela, whether it was Wu Ming.

With a teleport, he arrived at the Divine Sword Manor.

By now, after Hela's tidying up, the Divine Sword Manor had been restored to its original appearance, looking majestic and magnificent, worthy of being a building over two hundred years old, full of ancient charm.

Wang Bo entered the Divine Sword Manor, found Hela, and stated his purpose directly. There was no need for excessive politeness between him and Hela.

Hela understood Wang Bo's intention and said slowly, "The puppet that came to me that day was indeed a little old man in human form."

Wang Bo used magic to conjure an image of Wu Ming.

Hela said calmly, "That's him."

Wang Bo asked, "Where is he now?"

Originally, Wang Bo had wanted to use Hela to lure out the Zombie King. To prevent the plan from failing, he had also taken a dual approach, finding Yan Shisan and setting a trap. If Yan Shisan didn't take the bait, he could only rely on Hela.

Unexpectedly, things went smoothly with Yan Shisan, so Hela's side was unnecessary. Wang Bo came to wrap up the loose ends.

Hela said, "When I told him your requirements, he left, saying he needed to report back, and hasn't appeared since."

Wang Bo said, "I killed the Zombie King. If nothing unexpected happens, this guy should be hiding."

Hela was visibly moved, looking at Wang Bo with some surprise. "You killed the Zombie King."

Wang Bo didn't hide it and recounted how he had set a trap and made the Zombie King fall into it.

After hearing this, Hela knew the Zombie King's death was not unjust. Even if he had escaped that calamity, there was still a trap waiting for him here. As long as he dared to show up, he would be dead.

"So, you plan to kill Wu Ming now."

"That's right. He's the last person. Once he's dead, this matter will be over." Wang Bo nodded.

But Hela had a different view. "How do you know the Zombie King only had three subordinates?"

Wang Bo was taken aback.

Hela continued, "Since he could create three subordinates, he could certainly create more. Perhaps there are still more people like Wu Ming hidden in the jianghu."

Wang Bo couldn't help thinking to himself, "That's true. Since the Zombie King could create Wu Ming and the other two, he might have created many more like them. If I were the Zombie King, I would definitely create more such people, have them go into hiding, so that even if some are exposed, there are still more who can remain hidden."

With this thought, Wang Bo's mood grew heavy.

If that were the case, who knew how many intelligent zombies the Zombie King had created? Maybe three, maybe thirty, or even three hundred.

After a moment of silence, Wang Bo made up his mind.

"It seems a great screening is necessary."

Hela asked, "What do you plan to do?"

Wang Bo said with a smile, "Naturally, I'll filter through the Earth."

He took out the Philosopher's Stone from his four-dimensional pocket, held it in his hands, and cast a spell.

Detect Evil!

This spell could easily distinguish the living from the dead. Any undead creature would find it hard to escape and would inevitably be marked by the spell.

The reason Wang Bo hadn't used this spell from the beginning was that it was ineffective against the Zombie King and the underworld deities.

First, although the underworld deities were undead beings, they were gods, and Detect Evil couldn't find them.

Second, although the Zombie King was an undead being, his power was profound; even if marked, he could easily erase the mark.

So using this spell would only alert the enemy without any other use.

But now, the Zombie King was dead, the underworld deities were mostly eliminated, and there were more stragglers than Wang Bo had imagined, so he decided to cast this spell.

The Zombie King's subordinates had no ability to erase this mark.

A layer of transparent red glow, centered on Wang Bo, swept out in all directions, instantly crossing thousands of mountains and rivers, sweeping through the entire Ming jianghu, and continuously spreading outward.

If someone were standing in outer space now, they could clearly see a ring of red light rapidly expanding outward from a point in the Eastern Hemisphere, with a tendency to sweep across the entire Asian continent.
