After death, family cultivators are buried in the ancestral grave.

Within the ancestral grave are the tombs of past generations of family heads, elders, and cultivators with profound cultivation.

The Lu family is no exception.

Within the Lu family’s tombs, there are certainly not a few corpses of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Could this Lu Chengyun have truly dug up the Lu family’s ancestral grave and used the corpses of the Lu family’s past generations of family heads and elders to refine Iron Corpses?

Mo Hua slightly inhaled a breath of cold air.

This Lu Chengyun, he truly dares to think and dares to act…

For the sake of refining corpses, he dug up the entire Lu family’s ancestral grave.

Even if the Lu family’s old ancestor were not dead, he would probably be angered to death…

Mo Hua frowned a bit again.

But like this, it’s troublesome.

More than forty Iron Corpses, tens of thousands of Walking Corpses.

If they were to truly face Lu Chengyun as an enemy, there would fundamentally be no chance of winning.

If he were to “call for help”…

The Si Tu family has a foundation, but they definitely wouldn’t be able to mobilize cultivators who could rival these zombies.

The Nan Yue City Dao Court Division is in cahoots with the Lu family.

It would already be good if they didn’t help in reverse.

The largest sect in Nan Yue City, the Nan Yue Sect, also has close ties with the Lu family.

Even if the Nan Yue Sect had no collusion with the Lu family, and were willing to act against the Lu family, they would be completely no match for these zombies.

Furthermore, one can only rely on the Dao Court to allocate Dao soldiers to suppress the Corpse Mine…

But the mobilization of Dao soldiers is not that simple.

The procedures are numerous, applying for allocation is not easy, and the cost of marching Dao soldiers is also not cheap.

And a few are not useful; if they want to suppress the Corpse Mine, the needed military force and financial resources are definitely not a small number.

The Dao Court has this strength, but they may not be willing to pay this cost.

For a second-grade state boundary, a poor, remote small immortal city, to spend large amounts of spirit stones and mobilize numerous Dao soldiers, the military expenses will definitely not cover the costs…

And the opponent is zombies.

Iron Corpses have copper heads and iron arms, Walking Corpses are fierce and not afraid of death, they devour flesh endlessly, and can transmit corpse poison…

If a war truly erupts, the casualties of the Dao soldiers will necessarily be extremely heavy.

The Dao soldiers Division is truly not necessarily willing.

And once defeated, not only will the Dao soldiers suffer heavy casualties, Nan Yue City will also instantly be engulfed by the corpse tide, becoming a dead city…

Being engulfed by the corpse tide…

Thinking of that scene, Mo Hua sighed.

Mine cultivators originally have a bitter fate; if they still have to become Walking Corpses, parents and children harming each other, flesh and blood mutually harming, it’s worse than death, not being able to close one’s eyes even in death is just too pitiful…

What can he do?

Mo Hua silently pondered.

Collapsing the array…

He considered it before, but it was not too suitable.

It’s easy to explode the mine and affect the mine cultivators.

If he were to collapse the “Corpse King”, causing the corpse group to lose control, the harm would probably be even greater.

At the same time, Master also said not to collapse the array method unless it’s a last resort, and even if he does collapse it, not to let others see.

Collapsing the Corpse Mine would cause too much movement, it would definitely expose his details and bring trouble to Master.

Mo Hua turned his thoughts and thought again:

“If I can’t collapse it, then I can only start from the ‘Corpse King’.”

Capture the thief by first capturing the king.

Lu Chengyun will use the Spirit Hub Array, wanting to borrow the array method to control the Corpse King.

And he also knows the Spirit Hub Array; if he can control it, he can also control it.

If he can truly control the “Corpse King”, then he can solve the Corpse Mine crisis without bloodshed, and can even use the “corpse” to kill people and slaughter Lu Chengyun.

“But how to control the Corpse King?”

Mo Hua carefully pondered:

To control the Corpse King, he needs to draw an array method, and to draw an array method, he needs to open the bronze coffin…

But even if he drew the array method, how could he not be discovered by Lu Chengyun?

Lu Chengyun might not be Zhang Quan.

Zhang Quan is completely ignorant of array methods, but Lu Chengyun understands them very well.

He is a Foundation Establishment cultivator, a genuine first-grade array master, and his array method strength far exceeds that of an ordinary first-grade.

He is just a bit weaker than himself.

He should be able to surpass him in array methods.

But wanting to deceive heaven and cross the sea, making moves on his currently drawing array method under Lu Chengyun’s eyes, is just wishful thinking.

Unless he is not only blind but also a fool.

Lu Chengyun obviously is not.

A blind fool couldn’t possibly marry into the Lu family, become the family head, and still be able to dig up the Lu family’s ancestral grave…

Mo Hua pondered for half a day, not thinking of any good method, feeling helpless in his heart.

“Whatever, let’s first think of a way to open the bronze coffin…”

He’ll see what’s inside the bronze coffin then decide.

However, doing things requires attending to both sides.

He is busy on this side, and preparations are needed outside as well.

Mo Hua first wrote a letter and asked Little Tiger to deliver it to little senior sister.

The letter detailed the Corpse Mine, marked the Corpse Mine map, the structure of the stone hall, the corpse cultivator’s cultivation methods, and the shocking number of at least forty more Iron Corpses and tens of thousands of Walking Corpses.

And hoped they would make preparations early.

It would be best if they could gather cultivators and end the Corpse Mine before the Corpse King is refined, to cut off future troubles.

Although Mo Hua feels this is not very possible, he still needs to say it in advance.

As for whether they can gather so many cultivators, that’s not something he can manage.

The next matter is opening the bronze coffin.

The secret to opening the coffin is hidden on Lu Chengyun’s body.

When Mo Hua has free time, he will still secretly sneak into the Wan Shi Altar and wait for Lu Chengyun within the altar, wanting to see exactly how he opens the coffin.

But Lu Chengyun is very guarded and his actions are obscure.

Mo Hua watched several times but couldn’t see clearly.

He could only roughly estimate that this bronze coffin has a key and an array method, and both combined can open the bronze coffin.

But he couldn’t steal the key, nor did he see the array method.

Just when Mo Hua was at a loss, unexpectedly, Zhang Quan and Lu Chengyun arrived together at the altar at midnight that day.

The two were still chatting in low voices.

Mo Hua’s spirit was invigorated, and he listened attentively.

“…The Wan Shi Array is about to be completed…”

“The array eye is built well…”

“Refining spirit stones to form spirit power, and then polluting the spirit power with evil and filthy blood qi into evil power… then the array method can be activated…”

“How long will it take?”

“Fast, just a few days.”

“It’s not for nothing that you’re Head Lu, your plan is proper.” Zhang Quan said with a fawning smile.

Lu Chengyun laughed: “Brother Zhang is too kind, without your refined coffin wood and the ancestral corpse refining method, how could I build this Wan Shi Array?”

Talking about the Wan Shi Array?

Mo Hua muttered in his heart, secretly sizing them up.

Lu Chengyun looked at the Wan Shi Array again and said with emotion:

“I still need to thank that little mister…”

“Building the array eye with righteous path array methods, and converting evil power with evil path array methods, I only conceived of it initially, but didn’t expect it to be truly feasible…”

“And this array eye, the pattern is very large, the structure is complex, I didn’t expect that little mister, stumbling upon it, could actually build this array eye. His talent is truly extraordinary…”

“This array eye is very difficult…” Lu Chengyun sighed.

Mo Hua was a little confused listening.

Difficult?

He was just hiding his clumsiness, deliberately drawing slower, but didn’t expect this Lu Chengyun to actually think this array eye is difficult…

What’s difficult about this array eye?

He felt it was quite simple…

Mo Hua shook his head.

Although Lu Chengyun was praising him, just duplicating an array eye and using this to praise made Mo Hua feel no sense of achievement at all…

Zhang Quan felt a bit displeased in his heart and said sarcastically:

“His talent is okay, but his personality is rather insidious…”

Lu Chengyun knew he harbored a grudge, shook his head slightly, and did not answer. Instead, he turned his gaze and looked at the array eye of the Wan Shi Duplicate Array again, feeling complex.

This duplicate array eye is almost the prototype of the great array eye…

The prototype of the great array…

This child’s talent is truly fearsome.

Lu Chengyun sighed in his heart, then his gaze sank slightly, the corners of his mouth held a smile, and he murmured in a low voice:

“What a pity…”

On the other side, Zhang Quan looked towards the bronze coffin, his eyes revealing covetousness, and couldn’t help but ask:

“Brother Luo, how much longer until this ‘Corpse King’ is born?”

Lu Chengyun snapped back to attention, his eyes also revealing a sharp light, “Soon…”

“Once the Wan Shi Array is formed, surging evil power will surge, nourishing the bronze coffin, and in less than a month, this ‘Corpse King’ can be refined and the coffin opened…”

Zhang Quan was so excited he trembled slightly, and couldn’t help but praise: “Good! Good!”

He circled around the bronze coffin, his gaze excited: “Without the Corpse King’s command, we corpse cultivators could only control one or two Walking Corpses at a time, and even with a refined Corpse Controlling Bell, at most three.”

“But once the Corpse King is refined, we can dominate all Iron Corpses!”

“Ten, or even dozens of Iron Corpses all out, supplemented by thousands of Walking Corpses, this Small Wasteland State Boundary can then rampage without obstruction, killing in all directions!”

“Below Golden Core, there are no opponents.”

“We can also cover the sky with one hand, no, we are the sky of this Small Wasteland State Boundary!”

Zhang Quan’s ambition greatly flourished, his expression excited, and he said with a trembling voice.

Lu Chengyun was much calmer, he shook his head and said indifferently:

“Brother Zhang, that’s wrong. This Corpse King will only stay in the Corpse Mine and will not go out unless it’s a last resort, much less kill in all directions…”

Zhang Quan frowned, “Stay here to do what?”

Lu Chengyun said indifferently: “This is a mine, staying here is naturally to dig the mine.”

Zhang Quan was somewhat incredulous, “Dig the mine?”

Lu Chengyun nodded slightly.

Zhang Quan was momentarily hard to believe and said indignantly:

“We have exhausted thousands of hardships, racked our brains, schemed for a hundred years, killed so many people, refined so many corpses, could it be just for them to dig the mine here?”
