Two disciples grabbed Liu Liuhai's arms and took away his weapons. Then, they searched his pockets.
"Pang!"
Suddenly, Liu Fan's spirit tablet dropped to the floor.
"Wahhhh—! How dare you throw away my ancestor, you damn women!"
Liu Liuhai was enraged. His aura exploded into a gust of strong wind, hurling the two disciples backward. Then, he hurriedly picked up Liu Fan's tablet with a sorry look on his face.
"Ancestor, I am so sorry! I will burn more incense for you once I reach home!" Liu Liuhai mumbled as he hugged the spirit tablet tightly. His eyes turned cold when he looked up.
"I wanted to have a peaceful talk with you. But it appears to me that only bloodshed can resolve this issue!"
Liu Erquan waved his hand. In the next instant, the Liu members fanned out behind him, ready to fight anytime.
The Liu Elders and the rest of the clan members activated their internal energy. Suddenly, their muscles swelled and bulged, ripping their shirts apart. They stood topless in front of the thousands of Living Dead girls, flexing their eight packs.
That was the true form of physical cultivators.
A few steps away, Liu Dongdong let out a loud roar. His powerful internal energy instantly shattered his shirt and the chains around him, revealing his perfect body shape.
Liu Dongdong was born with a handsome face. Many Liu clan members had commented that his looks were one of the prettiest of all time, only second to the founding ancestor's. His charm was further strengthened by his untamable vibe.
At this moment, the bloody wounds on his body became the most fitting tattoos on his tanned skin, making him look even more masculine!
"Ahh—"
The two disciples beside Liu Dongdong screamed and blushed.
It was as though the scream was infectious. Every other girl in the palace started screaming too.
The girls stared at the muscular men in the center of the palace. Their breathing was getting heavy and their cheeks were flushing bright-red.
Their clan rules forbid any Living Dead disciples from getting familiar with men. Some of them had never touched a man's finger in their decades of life.
But now, they had seen it all!
They were shocked!
The wild horse in their mind was going out of control.
Ye Qing shook her head. She forcefully drove away her innate desires and regained her composure. She murmured, "Now I understand why our founding ancestor had made it a rule thousands of years ago that we must kill descendants of the Liu clan the second we saw them, and that we should never give them the chance to use their cultivation skills."
"Now I know, our Living Dead ladies can't even function properly in the face of physical cultivators from the Liu clan!"
"Hey—!" Ye Qing shouted sternly.
Her voice had the spirit of a martial arts master.
Her voice finally woke up the Living Dead disciples from their daze.
"Swoosh!"
All of them drew their swords. Suddenly, flashes of cold blades shone through the palace. They closed in towards Liu Dongdong, Liu Erquan, and the others.
However, their grip was unsteady with their shaking wrists and uneven breaths.
On the elevated platform, Ye Qing led seven other martial arts masters forward. They trained their cold eyes on the Liu men's eyes, ignoring their bodies.
Even so, what fell within their peripheral vision still stirred warm and foreign emotions in the depths of their hearts. Their eyelashes were trembling uneasily.
Liu Erquan's sharp eyes saw it all. His initial astonishment was soon replaced by a sly grin.
He whispered to his men under his breath, "Let your internal energy flow along your muscles! Make your muscles move!"
"Why?" Liu Dongdong asked in confusion.
"That's the way!" The married men laughed softly.
Only they understood Liu Erquan's logic. They told Liu Dongdong, "You'll know it when you have a wife."
The next moment, they imbued their muscles with internal energy. Beads of sweat rolled over their tanned skin and their scars, intensifying the air of masculinity!
The most attractive men are found in gyms, basketball courts, and swimming pools. There's no shortage of pretty girls who use doing workout or yoga at the gym as an excuse to meet buff guys.
Nowadays, slim and fair-skinned oppas are no longer popular. The hottest guys are those with abs and distinct muscles!
Moreover, physical cultivators of the Liu clan had much better bodies than muscular men at the gyms. The battles they had fought had left many scars, but they were actually a bonus touch to their dazzling bodies.
"Gulp!"
"Gulp!"
…
A girl couldn't help swallowing her saliva at the sight of hot guys. It was loud enough to be heard in the quiet palace.
In the next instant, many others lost it and the sound of saliva-swallowing and heavy panting filled the underground space.
"Hmph!" The Grand Elder snorted and released the aura of a grand martial arts master.
The energy wave brought all of the disciples back from the daze. They looked at the Liu men with embarrassment and anger on their faces.
They had actually fallen for their bodies!
How shameless those men were to tempt them this way!
"How brazen!"
Hatred flashed across Ye Qing's and the martial arts masters' eyes. They glared at the Liu men fiercely.
This bunch had ripped their clothes and exhibited their muscles before the fight had even begun.
The Grand Elder let out a heavy sigh and shook her head in disappointment.
To her dismay, the entire Living Dead Clan had been successfully seduced by the physical cultivators of the Liu clan, except for herself and a few male disciples who had been trained for special purposes.
"Now I understand why the founding ancestor wrote that the physical cultivators of the Liu clan will always be our greatest foes. Indeed, we have no other choice but to keep the peace with them if we can't kill them the second we meet. I didn't believe it at first. But now I've seen it with my own eyes, and I have to admit that the physical cultivators of the Liu clan know instinctively how to seduce our disciples without warning!"
The Grand Elder sighed again. She waved her hands, gesturing all of her people to put away their weapons.
The Grand Elder said, "The hydra is wreaking havoc in the White Sun Mountain, and I'm afraid that my Living Dead Clan will never make it out!" Then, she turned to look at Liu Erquan and asked, "Gentlemen, you are descendants of the First Physical Cultivator. I would like to hear your thoughts on this matter."
Liu Erquan and the rest shook their heads. They still shuddered in fear as they thought of the hydra. They knew that the monster could not be defeated with mere martial arts.
The palace plunged into silence.
Liu Liuhai glanced at Liu Erquan as if he wanted to speak. But something was holding him back.
Ye Qing and the Grand Elder both noticed that.
They exchanged a look of confirmation with each other and immediately knew that Liu Liuhai had a way to beat the monster.
The Grand Elder nodded. Having gained her approval, Ye Qing strode towards Liu Liuhai elegantly, bringing with her a fragrant breeze.
She smiled softly and called, "Brother!"
Liu Liuhai looked around and realized that everyone had locked their eyes on him. The head of the Living Dead Clan was only one meter away. Astounded, he asked, "Are you… calling me?!"
Ye Qing let out a charming smile and said, "Yes, Brother, I'm calling you!" Her breath smelled sweet.
"Ah hahahaha, there must have been a mistake!" Liu Liuhai rubbed his hands in excitement. His face turned red.
A glitter flashed across Ye Qing's beautiful eyes. She put her slender hands gently on Liu Liuhai's hands and led him to the open area behind the palace.
"Brother, I want to ask you something…" Ye Qing said with pleading eyes. "I know you must know a way to save our Living Dead Clan. Please teach me!"
Liu Liuhai went quiet.
The hydra was hundreds of meters long and as thick as a barrel. Swords and knives couldn't even scratch its scales, and its violent temper made it almost invincible.
'There's only one way out — bring over our ancestor!' Liu Liuhai thought.
He touched Liu Fan's spirit tablet which he had kept dearly in his chest pocket.
But he wasn't so sure either. Although the Ancestor was able to slay any humans with his protective aura, the hydra was not like any enemies they had encountered before. Blades were useless to its tough scales.
"If we throw the Ancestor out and he didn't manage to kill the hydra in one go, the hydra could easily swallow him with that big mouth of its…"
Liu Liuhai's eyebrows knitted tightly.
