Luo Baicheng wanted to go forward, but looking at the dead subordinate on the ground, his lips twitched fiercely twice, and he didn't dare to take half a step forward.
It wasn't just Luo Baicheng; even the other Luo Family members were completely frightened.
Too strange.
No one dared to risk their life to try.
Moreover, as time went by, the corpse on the ground started to decay visibly, and not long after, it seemed like it had been left out for days in midsummer, even starting to emit a stench of putrefaction.
"Take it away, remove the corpse first!" Luo Baicheng ordered, covering his nose.
Two people stepped forward, one grabbing an arm and the other grabbing an ankle, ready to lift it away.
However, just as they lifted the corpse, the two carrying the dead body suddenly shuddered and fell to the ground.
"What's going on?"
Everyone was terrified and backed away.
Luo Baicheng's pupils shrank as he stared at the two who had just carried the corpse.
The two followed the same pattern as the previously deceased person, twitching twice before they died, and within less than a minute, the exposed skin had already started showing signs of decay.
This scared Luo Baicheng and the Luo Family members silly.
They not only didn't dare to approach but retreated several steps in fear of dying mysteriously.
Ma Xiaoling just watched quietly, as if she were watching a drama.
Ma Weihe stood beside Ma Xiaoling, observing coldly.
Not long after, Luo Qianqi arrived.
She was utterly puzzled upon seeing three corpses at the Qin Family gate with no one approaching them.
"Uncle, why don't you go inside?" Luo Chang'an asked curiously as he prepared to go in, but Lou Yunbai grabbed him.
Lou Yunbai's eyes were fixed on the three corpses, his lips quivering slightly: "Corpse Chaser! This is the corpse poison of a Corpse Chaser!"
"Boom!"
This one sentence seemed to ignite an explosive.
Everyone avoided Ma Xiaoling as if she were the plague.
Luo Chang'an had no idea what a Corpse Chaser was and was puzzled: "What's a Corpse Chaser?"
"Corpse Chasers are said to rarely appear in ordinary people's sight, but they live in places heavy with yin energy and can kill invisibly. Even a first-rate master, without careful attention, might mysteriously die." Lou Yunbai, a second-rate master, seemed to know more about Corpse Chasers: "Moreover, if the dead aren't quickly cremated, they might be turned by Corpse Chasers into murder weapons."
"Whoosh!"
Lou Yunbai's words made the Luo Family members retreat several more steps, further away from Ma Xiaoling.
Luo Chang'an couldn't help but shiver: "Uncle Lou, you mean like zombies?"
"Almost." Lou Yunbai's expression turned solemn, barely retaining his composure as he raised his head to look at Ma Xiaoling and respectfully bowed: "Miss, we mean no offense; we just want to talk to Mr. Ye. We have no ill intentions."
Ma Xiaoling, seemingly unskilled at conversation, glanced at Lou Yunbai indifferently: "Without Ye Guichen's permission, whoever goes in will die."
"Err..." Lou Yunbai was speechless, but he didn't dare to move forward, though he was deeply shocked within.
It's said that Corpse Chasers don't mingle with ordinary people or submit to anyone; why would this Corpse Chaser follow Ye Guichen's orders?
What does Ye Guichen have that makes them obedient?
But he dared not ask, speak more, or take another step.
Luo Chang'an was also completely intimidated, not daring to approach.
Luo Qianqi bit her lip, her desire to become Ye Guichen's woman grew stronger.
To control Corpse Chasers, Ye Guichen is incredibly powerful!
If she could really have a relationship with Ye Guichen, not only would the entire Luo Family be under her thumb, but even Qinghe and the leading Leng Family couldn't lay a finger on her.
"Miss, could you tell Ye Guichen that Luo Qianqi needs to talk to him about something important?" Luo Qianqi respectfully asked.
Ma Xiaoling glanced at Luo Qianqi and didn't say a word.
The scene quickly became awkward.
Not just the Luo Family members, but shortly after, Qiao Chunhe arrived with a group of people.
Similarly, they couldn't enter the Qin Family gate.
The Qi Family were also investigating, though stealthily, and seeing the Luo Family and Qiao Family gathered at the Qin Family gate, they dared not move forward and were greatly shaken.
Not daring to delay, the Qi Family investigator hesitated for a moment before hurriedly returning.
"Something serious has happened, really serious!" The informant almost stumbled, rushing to Qi Baishan and falling to his knees: "Family Head, the Qin Family produced a dragon!"
"What?" Qi Baishan was bewildered: "What kind of nonsense, what exactly is going on?"
"I, I don't quite know, but there's a young woman and a middle-aged man at the Qin Family gate. I heard something about Corpse Chasers..."
"Corpse Chasers?" Qi Baishan shivered, evidently aware of their danger: "How could Corpse Chasers appear at the Qin Family's place?"
The informant shook his head frantically: "I don't clearly know, but it seems the Corpse Chaser obeys Ye Guichen's orders. Ye Guichen commanded not to let anyone in."
"Ah?" Qi Baishan's face turned pale.
He slumped into his chair, his eyes lost.
Initially thinking Ye Guichen's skills were formidable, now emerging these Corpse Chasers, would his plaque remain intact?
"No, I must seize the opportunity to form a good relationship with that lad surnamed Ye!" Qi Baishan's head whirled, realizing it.
Involving Corpse Chasers, Qi Baishan wasn't foolish; the situation was far beyond his imagination.
Moreover, their top master was currently at a critical stage of seclusion and couldn't be brought out.
Even if he could, testing his skills against the Corpse Chasers was uncertain.
Corpse Chasers, like the Witch Clan, were taboo in the eyes of ordinary people and some martial artists.
Because their methods were beyond ordinary comprehension.
The so-called fear of the unknown held true here.
Fear of Corpse Chasers mainly stemmed from the unknown.
"Let's go, I have to see too." Qi Baishan deliberated briefly but couldn't sit still.
He needed to form good relations with Ye Guichen, no matter the cost, to prevent Ye Guichen from removing his plaque.
Thus, Qi Baishan led a group to the Qin Family.
By the time Ye Guichen and Mi Lan returned, hundreds had gathered outside the Qin Family.
"Oh, are you having a meeting here?" Ye Guichen jumped out of the car, looking oddly at them.
Though he didn't know most of them, judging by the scene, he could guess.
They came to stir trouble!
