1 Before the Journey

Outside of a house on a field not too far away under the starlight. A young man woke up, covered in a smelly substance, pain course through his face. He had dark skin, rough small hands, almost 16 years old, average height and would be consider somewhat handsome if there was no bruises on his face. His name is Wen Feng. Earlier during the day, Wen Feng caught peeping by his neighbor's husband even though his goal was to only steal a chicken. It is because of that misunderstanding, he was bad beaten up and thrown into a pile of manure. After recounting the wonderful sight, a slight smile rose up on his face as Wen Feng stumble his way home.

Before going on home, Wen Feng made a detour to the small stream closest to his house, diving himself in to be cleanse of the filth. "That Mr. Cho truly an idiot, it is his wife that open the window trying to tempt me" speaking to himself as laid in the middle of the stream, feeling the gentle current washing away all the his troubles.

Looking up into the starry sky. Wen Feng thought to himself whether he should fianlly leave this town to journey and find his father. Growing up, Wen Feng only have his mother by his side, his mother succumb to illness and left him all by himself when he was 8. The only memento left for him by his late mother was a piece of white jade with the Yin symbol which he wore around his neck. Staying because of the fear of being eaten by fierce beast keep him from leaving already.

During noon, two villagers was crossing the stream when the old man trip on something. The young girl help the old man up until she caught sight of what he trip on, body shaking as she had seen something horrible "Grandpa, th..therrreesss a de deaaad body" as she screamed out before running away. Surprised by his granddaughter's word, the old man look behind him only to see a body slowly rising up from the stream. Shivering the old man run away as fast as he could mustering all his strength. "Zombie, Zombie, Zombie" echo out of him as he ran.

Wen Feng feeling pain and chill all over his body, it wasn't until a few moments later that he realized he had fallen asleep in the stream. Hearing the word of the old man as he screamed out, his body stiffen in fear a bit before laying back into the water pretending to be a dead body, hoping the zombie would just pass him by.

In town, the crowd gather when they heard the shouts of the grandpa and granddaughter. Hearing the commotion outside. A skinny man cultivator walk out to listen carefully of the fuss was about, upon realizing the seriousness of the situation, he quickly pull out a grey color jade from his storage pouch then a flash of white light could be seen flying through the air at an amazing speed. He know his current level being Gathering stage 3 is no match for a zombie in which is said to be at least in the Flowing Ocean stage.

Separating the stages apart: Gathering, Flowing Ocean, Core Forming, Soul Birth and the legendary Soul Utilization. The skinny man knew if he were to face such a creature, he would only die a dog's death. With fear growing in his heart, his only hope for salvation is that his elders would come to the rescue in time.

2 hours has past, Wen Feng still laying still in the stream reaching his limit, jump out of the water. Using all his strength as he running towards the direction of the town. Hair in a mess, water dripping down his cloths, a slight smell of stink spread from his body, the bruise Mr Cho gave him last night still there. When the crowd caught sight of this figure running towards them, they all panic hiding behind the skinny man cultivator. Seeing the crowd of people, he continue running towards them while yelling " everyone zombie, a zombie is coming!''. Hearing Wen Feng frantic screams of zombie left dumbfounded. It was until the skinny man cultivator cry out to Wen Feng " stop where you are, don't come any closer" trembling with his sword in hand.

Boom! Torrents of swords suddenly rain down on where Wen Feng is in a circle making a cage trapping him. Two beams of light soon follow, stopping only to reveal two figures. One was a man name Fong Shui, he's in his early 20s, wearing a long white robe with token of a purple sword hanging on his waist, long black hair, feminine round eyes, many people would have mistaken him for a woman if it weren't for his adam's apple. The other was a young girl appearing to be no less than 19 years old, skin as pure as jade, eyes as cold as water while still giving off a strange kind of warmth, wearing a white dress showing off her long silky legs, with the same purple sword token wrap around one of her leg, if it wasn't for fact that she has a flat plain. She would surely be desire of many men.

"Junior sister Xia Mu, this looks like a decent grade zombie. I'll refine it into a servant for you once we capture it." calmly clasping his hands behind his back, looking up into the sky with a proud and handsome expression. When the crowd of village girls caught sight of this. Some fainted with a smile on their face and some try to loosen their cloths revealing a bit of skin, hoping Fong Shui would take a glance in their direction. All the Villagers were happy kneeling down to their savior, this scene delighted Fong Shui a lot at least it was until he hear.....
