Chapter 875: Zombie
Facing someone who had surpassed the bounds of mortal strength, how could Max dare to refuse? He quickly bowed, forcing a bitter smile onto his face. "Senior, please feel free to tell me what you need me to do. I will definitely give my utmost effort."
Max wasn’t foolish; he knew someone of this level could end his life in an instant if he so wished. The fact that this man even bothered speaking to him instead of acting directly meant there was something important, something specific only he could do.
The general seemed pleased with his quick acceptance, his eyes lighting up faintly with satisfaction. "Good. You have the bloodline of the Black Lotus Guild, do you not?"
Max’s heart skipped a beat. "Senior actually knew?" His voice carried a note of genuine surprise. Only a handful of people in the entire secret domain had identified his bloodline before, and most of them were elites from the seven overlord forces. For someone to know at just a glance... it was terrifying, yet unsurprising given the man’s apparent level.
He took a breath, his tone soft but respectful. "I wonder, Senior... what exactly is it you need me to do?"
The general’s smile deepened even further, as though Max had finally asked the question he had been waiting for all along.
Max froze, stunned by the man’s words. "Do you know who I am?" the handsome general asked suddenly, his calm voice carrying a weight that echoed in the thick yin energy around them.
Max instinctively shook his head, honesty flashing across his face. "I... I don’t, Senior." In truth, he had no idea who this man was. At first glance, he looked like a middle-aged man in his prime, handsome beyond reason, carrying an aura so noble and ancient it seemed to surpass the limits of the mortal world. But beyond that, Max knew nothing.
The general’s lips curved into a faint smile. "I am an undead... from the time ten thousand years ago."
Max’s eyes widened in disbelief. "Undead? You mean... like a zombie?" The words slipped out of his mouth almost involuntarily. He had encountered all manner of strange beasts and experts, but never had he imagined an undead of such a level still existed in the present day.
