Chapter 218 Plan
It was clear that not long ago, the Eastern Defense Zone of Guang'an Prefecture had been suppressing the enemy.
However, in the blink of an eye, the situation had taken a sharp turn for the worse—something no one could accept.
"But why did the enemy choose Cangzhou Immortal City?" asked the red-haired monk, Zhang Xu, who had remained silent until now, his tone filled with confusion.
"It's the population!" Luis replied, his eyes deep with concern.
"The population of Cangzhou is more than ten times the total population of Guang'an Prefecture—billions of people. If all of those people were transformed into zombies..."
Everyone shuddered at the thought. Although the strength of a single zombie is insignificant—a Qi Refining cultivator could easily defeat one with a flying sword—the sheer number matters. When you reach billions, even evil creatures like zombies have varying levels of power.
Low-level zombies are not as formidable as Qi Refining monks, but high-level zombies can even rival Foundation Building monks.
In other words, zombies may be weak individually, and on their own they're no match for Foundation Building monks, but what happens when you have two or three together?
It's obvious that the zombie horde on Lotus Island has the means to quickly upgrade its level.
No one could imagine what kind of "treasure" would allow such a sinister creature as a zombie to advance so rapidly. Logically speaking, although zombies can advance more easily than monks, it still isn't simple.
In just a few weeks, a group of cultivator corpses, originally at most at the Qi Refining level, were transformed into Foundation Building-level corpse servants. This is clearly against common sense.
If the practice of evil spirits were truly that simple, the world of immortal cultivation would be in chaos, overrun by demons.
In the current world of immortal cultivation, whether they are monsters, evil creatures, or demonic cultivators, they are all considered inferior. The monsters have long been reduced to a state of mere survival ever since they failed in their ancient battle for dominance with humans.
As for evil creatures and demonic cultivators, their greatest enemy isn't the cultivators at all—it's the heavenly tribulation.
Once these dark beings reach the Golden Core realm, they will face thunder tribulations that are ten or even a hundred times more terrifying than those encountered by human cultivators.
Under the attack of this thunder tribulation, no matter what kind of horrible evil creature or demon you are, you will be reduced to ashes.
There is no chance of overcoming the tribulation at all. Even if one were to survive—a one in a trillion chance—human cultivators would still jointly strangle any survivors.
Human cultivators are well aware of the dangers posed by high-level evil creatures and demonic cultivators.
In fact, it is the consensus among almost all human cultivators to eliminate these beings. After all, such creatures and human monks are two species that simply cannot coexist.
Evil creatures and demonic cultivators rely on the corrupt energy of the Yin meridians for their practices, while human cultivators depend on pure spiritual energy. How can these two sources of energy coexist?
Remember, so far, the only ones fighting the zombies on Lotus Island have been the monks from Guang'an Prefecture.
No other prefectures in Cangzhou have participated. If the situation hadn't suddenly worsened, cultivators from other palaces might not have even known that such a calamity had struck in Cangzhou—just as the monks in Guang'an Prefecture were unaware of the major events in neighboring Jin'an Prefecture.
This world is far vaster than the previous one, and information now travels much more slowly. It wasn't a major event that shook Cangzhou, and ordinary cultivators rarely paid attention to the outer palaces.
But now, things are different. Once the fairy city of Cangzhou is besieged, all the prefectures in Cangzhou will receive the news.
If nothing unexpected happens, someone—either a cultivator from the Ye family or from another major family in a different palace—will soon contact the Zhou family in Guang'an Prefecture.
This combat meeting was less of a formal conference and more a gathering of consensus. Everyone agreed once again: we must help Cangzhou!
Although deep down no one really wants to help Cangzhou—and many secretly wish for the death of all the Ye family members—they also fear that if the Ye family is wiped out, the corpses might rise as zombies and attack them again.
Compared to the Ye family, those hordes of zombies are the most terrifying: they show no fear, make no compromises, and fight to the death with the monks. This is a war with no retreat.
"Since everyone agrees to help Cangzhou Immortal City, let's form an alliance to unite all the cultivators in Cangzhou,"
Zhou Minghao declared, standing up suddenly.
Hearing this, everyone nodded, rose to their feet, and responded, "As you command!"
Cangzhou Fairy City, with its population of hundreds of millions, is the largest fairy city in all of Cangzhou—and fortunately, it is also the ancestral home of the Ye family. With the strength of the Ye family, this fairy city is not likely to fall easily.

Moreover, the Ye family boasts Ye Wudao, a Golden Core cultivator, and they maintain a fourth-level formation that protects the entire city.
Although the Ye family cannot match the zombie swarm in terms of Golden Core combat power, their formation allows them to defend themselves completely while awaiting rescue from other mansions.
After the meeting, before Zhou Minghao could reach out to the other prefectures, someone began contacting the Zhou family. Just as Luis had expected, among these callers were members of the Ye family and representatives from other major families in the prefectures. They all shared one goal:
Suppress the corpse chaos in Cangzhou!
At that moment, every cultivator in Cangzhou understood that they must not let Cangzhou Immortal City fall. Zhou Mubai's earlier thoughts of revenge against the Ye family were cast aside in favor of ensuring the safety of all of Guang'an Prefecture and Cangzhou.
The safety of Cangzhou is paramount—any hatred must be set aside for now.
The same was true for Luis. He understood this simple truth better than anyone else: when the nest is overturned, no eggs can remain intact.
