88 Ties that Bind P3Final Volume 1 END (1/2)

//Back at the Silent Valley Sect~//

Of what used to be Wusheng Mountain, numerous scavenges picked amongst the remains of the destroyed sect like a bunch of vultures.

At the center of the large crater, a lone scavenger was slowly inching his was towards the dead body of Zuo Ning using various protective talismans to protect himself from the remnant power radiating from the corpse.

”Just a little closer..” The scavenger gulped as he eyed the bag on Zuo Ning's waist. [I'm gonna be filthy rich!]

When he finally reached the corpse and was seconds away from grabbing the precious spatial bag, Zuo Ning's remaining arm grabbed at the scavenger's throat.

”Ah!”

Zuo Ning opened his eyes, they were cloudy with the aura of death.

[That's odd... I thought I died.. ]

[No.. I did die..]

[I.. I feel..]

Zuo Ning looked at the scavenger struggling to free himself from his grip, his cloudy eyes began to glow red as his mouth slowly opened.

[So hungry..]

Bringing the scavenger's head towards his mouth opened wider causing his jaw to tear, sharp black teeth sprouted from his bleeding gums.

[Just a bite..]

*Crunch!*

The scavenger's head completely disappeared into the mouth of Zuo Ning and with a loud gulp, it disapeared down his throat. Zuo Ning closed his eyes as he felt a euphoric feeling as the scavenger's lifeforce dispersed into his dead body.

In the next moment something happened. The horrified face of the scavenger appeared on Zuo Ning's charred chest, squirming like it wanted to escape from his skin.

[More.. I.. am.. still.. HUNGRY!]

Zuo Ning's eyes gleamed as he stared at the scavengers at the edges of the crater, with a leap he had already began a massacre.

In the distance, on top of a large broken piece of Mount Wusheng was an old beggar with missing teeth.

In his hand was a gourd filled with the sweet scent of alcohol.

After taking a swig, he muttered with sharp eyes. ”Something has happened to the underworld. The dead are no longer staying dead.. do they have nowhere to go? How could that be possible?”

The beggar chuckled. ”Well, things are about to get interesting..”

//Qin Manor, two days later~//

It was noon as the sun had reached it's zenith. It's bright light shone down on Qin Manor revealing the numerous festive decorations that covered it.

In front of the Manor, there was a long red carpet which went from the front gate all the way to the main door.

On each side of the carpet their were a vast group of people. A vast majority of them were disciples of the Martial Fist sect, even the martial fist Headmaster Lu Meng was in attendance. His rosy face had been covered in bandages and he was sitting in a wheel chair with a splint on his leg.

Behind Lu Meng was Sun Xi who had his hands on the wheelchair. He had been one of the lucky few to escape the terrifying Mistress of the Qin Manor unscathed. Beside him was the quivering hermit Bat Manlou whose gaze seemed to be constantly shifting as if he were afraid of being discovered.

Lu Meng looked at Bat Manlou and snorted hatefully. ”You owe me this after running away like that..”

”I already told you to haul ass and get out of there Headmaster Lu! Why do you have to drag me here!?” Bat Manlou defended himself as he hid behind Sun Xi trying to make himself as small as possible.

”You should have tried harder to convince me! How was I supposed to know that some crazy woman would come along and destroy everything? I even got blamed!”

Lu Meng replied in a bitter voice. ”And now we have to wish her son a happy marriage under threat of death! Ah.. there's no justice in the world.”

”Shhh, the bride is coming.” Sun Xi quickly said as he signaled to a few disciples in the crowd.
