The rhinoceros horn pendant hanging from Chen Hao's neck began to tremble violently.

"Thud, thud, thud!" The sound of knocking suddenly arose.

Ye Yuqiao glared at Chen Hao, her tone distinctly displeased, "Hmph, your senior sister is looking for you again!"

Seeing Ye Yuqiao's jealous and angry expression, Chen Hao couldn't help but laugh heartily. He kissed her cheek and placated, "Actually, you don't need to be jealous, because I am not Ye Heng."

After speaking, Chen Hao led Ye Yuqiao underground, then held her hand and walked to open the door.

Upon opening the door, he saw a frantic Man Qingting with a fierce glint in her eyes and a flicker of crimson bloodlight in her gaze.

"Senior sister! Why have you come?" Chen Hao asked in confusion, "It's so late now!"

Man Qingting first fixed her angry gaze on Ye Yuqiao and the tightly clasped hands of Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao, before she raised her eyes to Chen Hao and explained, "It's bad, I've already felt the call of a first-generation zombie's blood!"

"First-generation zombie? The call of blood?" Chen Hao looked puzzled.

At this moment, Chen Hao distinctly felt the force in Ye Yuqiao's hand suddenly increase several times. He looked at her in astonishment, only to find her complexion had also turned awkward and strange.

Just as Chen Hao was about to ask Ye Yuqiao, her voice suddenly echoed in his mind, "The first-generation zombie she is referring to might be... Qin Shang!"

Chen Hao's face darkened and he let out a heavy sigh. Watching Ye Yuqiao's unnatural reaction after the mention of Qin Shang, a wave of sourness washed over him!

"Jealous?" Ye Yuqiao sent a private message to Chen Hao.

Chen Hao did not respond to Ye Yuqiao but turned to Man Qingting and asked, "What does 'the call of blood' mean?"

"Do you know what a first-generation zombie is?"

"Hmm," Chen Hao nodded, "I've heard my grandfather mention it before. The so-called first-generation zombie is one that was turned into a zombie by the legendary Blood Demon tens of thousands of years ago. Unlike other zombies, first-generation zombies do not need to feed on blood to sustain their life!"

"The so-called call of blood is the sensing of the awakening and rage of a first-generation zombie's blood within one's body," Man Qingting explained. "Take, for example, that you are a first-generation zombie, and this girl was bitten by you and became a second-generation zombie, then I was bitten by this girl and became a third-generation. Although I wasn't directly bitten by you into a zombie, your zombie bloodline still flows in me!"

"So you are saying, the person who turned you into a zombie was once bitten by Qin Shang?" Chen Hao mused.

"Qin Shang?" Man Qingting looked confused, "The Qin Shang you're talking about, could it be that first-generation zombie?"

Chen Hao glanced at Ye Yuqiao beside him, then shifted his gaze back to Man Qingting and said, "It could be him, right?"

"Not good!" The red light in Man Qingting's eyes brightened, and her frown deepened. "Its blood has completely awakened; if we don't stop it, many people will die!"

"Ah!" Chen Hao panicked. After a moment, he asked urgently, "Senior sister, can you sense where it is?"

"Hmm!" Man Qingting nodded, "It's currently on Huangyin Mountain!"

"Then let's hurry over there now!" Chen Hao said, glancing at Ye Yuqiao, only to find her complexion had turned ashen.

Sensing something was off, Chen Hao said to Man Qingting with a silly smile, "You go ahead; I'll be right there!"

After a slight nod, Man Qingting disappeared in front of their eyes without a trace of a breeze.

"I feel like I'm completely superfluous here," Ye Yuqiao said coldly. The exchange between Chen Hao and Man Qingting had made her feel forgotten and neglected.

"Jealous?" Chen Hao asked with a smile, looking at Ye Yuqiao.

Ye Yuqiao shook off Chen Hao's hand and glared up at him.

"Alright," Chen Hao stepped forward and hugged Ye Yuqiao, "we both know how much we mean to each other, so stop making a fuss."

"But I don't know how much she means to you!" Ye Yuqiao retorted.

"And I don't know how much Qin Shang means to you either!" Chen Hao countered.

Ye Yuqiao huffed angrily, displeased, "Why did you ignore me just now and only talk to her?"

"Weren't we discussing business? When we're in front of other people, don't you always hide behind me like a quiet, pretty girl? It's you who cares too much about my senior sister. I told you, I am not Ye Heng!"

"If you're not Ye Heng, then why do you still call her senior sister!" Ye Yuqiao challenged. After pausing, she took a deep breath, her expression darkening, "You clearly have memories with her, how can I believe you're not Ye Heng! We'll settle this matter later, let's deal with the urgent issue at hand first!"

After saying that, Ye Yuqiao grabbed Chen Hao's hand and then transformed into a black shadow, disappearing from Chen Hao's home with him.

In an instant, Ye Yuqiao brought Chen Hao to the foot of Huangyin Mountain.

As soon as the two emerged from the shadow on the ground, they saw Man Qingting standing in front of them.

"Who exactly are you, miss?" Man Qingting asked, scrutinizing Ye Yuqiao.

Ye Yuqiao looked at Man Qingting, their eyes locked in rage.

Seeing this, Chen Hao quickly walked between Ye Yuqiao and Man Qingting to block their hostile gazes, then turned his head to ask Man Qingting, "Senior sister, how did you get here so fast?"

Man Qingting didn't reply to Chen Hao's question but looked up towards the mountain, and then pointed urgently up towards the summit, "It's up there on the mountaintop!"

Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao turned their heads towards the mountain, only to see a blood-red cloud suspended in the sky above the peak!

"Roar!" Suddenly, a resonating roar shook the entire Huangyin Mountain.

"Why is there a blood-red cloud?" Chen Hao wondered.

"Go up and you'll see what's going on!" Man Qingting whispered behind Chen Hao. Inaudibly, she had already moved behind him.

Man Qingting's right hand looped through Chen Hao's right arm.

Suddenly, the blood-red cloud in Chen Hao's view expanded several times over. Startled, Chen Hao glanced frantically to either side, only to realize that he, Ye Yuqiao, and Man Qingting were already on the mountaintop.

"What's going on?" Chen Hao exclaimed in surprise.

"She brought us up here," Ye Yuqiao's voice echoed in Chen Hao's mind.

Immediately after, Chen Hao turned to his right and asked Man Qingting, "Senior sister, how did you do this? I didn't feel any movement at all, not even the sound of the wind!"

Man Qingting didn't answer, but her gaze sharpened, fixed intently on something ahead.

Following Man Qingting's line of sight, Chen Hao saw that beneath the blood-red cloud stood Wang Chuan, Zhang Yushan, Corpse Driver Master, and Qin Shang!

All four were standing inside an Eight Trigrams Array glowing with golden light. Qin Shang was at the very center, his face twisted, eyes emitting a crimson bloodlust as he roared. His lower body was trapped in a mound of thick earth, with countless thick, tree trunk-sized vines tightly wrapped around him.

In Qin Shang's chest was a sword emitting a blood-like radiance. His crimson blood was slowly flowing along the blade and then being absorbed into the bodies of the other three in the Eight Trigrams Array.

"Are you exchanging blood with a zombie!" Chen Hao yelled out loud.
