Even though Xie Ai had matured when it comes to his emotions, his fighting skills were still insanely terrible to the point that his hands would tremble if he were to lift a weapon without it being the beginner's knife. He couldn't even fight an ordinary ghost, what to speak of so many zombies who came out of nowhere?!
No, wait, there was no one in that corridor before! Where did these people come from?!
It couldn't be that they were all inside those rooms he couldn't open, could it?
Xie Ai didn't have enough time to think about it as he dashed outside of the palace. He didn't want to be caught and eaten by these people. Since they were zombies, intelligent ones at that, they followed after him with their weapons.
As he was about to escape the throne room, he heard Qi Xuan say, "Guards, make sure to stew him alive after you catch him! I'm hungry!"
