Yin Qing hid to the side, manipulating Elder Song to fight the newly arrived zombie elder.

Elder Song’s strength should have been greater, but being manipulated by Yin Qing with the Lingxuan Array, his body wasn’t his own. It seemed he could only use seven or eight tenths of his strength, so after fighting for dozens of rounds, he gradually fell into a disadvantage.

One wasn’t enough, so he added another.

Yin Qing didn’t play fair and also manipulated Zhang Quan, and the two of them attacked together.

With this, the newly arrived zombie elder was caught in a pincer attack.

Yin Qing then observed his moves.

The zombie elders of the Zhang family inherited a single lineage; they all focused on divine sense corporealization and close-quarters combat.

If they couldn’t win, they would further corporealize their divine sense, their bodies would violently grow, becoming copper-skinned and iron-boned, with green faces and fangs.

At this time, their bodies were faster, their power greater, and their fangs much sharper.

But this didn’t mean much.

Yin Qing was seeing it for the first time, so he still found it novel. After seeing it many times, he found it boring.

Except for Elder Song, who could use the shrinking skin and bones technique to escape, the other zombies were all more or less the same.

He didn’t know if they hadn’t learned any techniques, or if their ancestor had kept them to himself and hadn’t taught them other methods.

This zombie elder also had no new tricks.

Yin Qing was a little disappointed.

Time was limited, and he didn’t want to drag things out. He fully manipulated Zhang Quan and Elder Song, and the two of them surrounded and attacked, pushing the zombie elder back step by step.

The zombie elder was greatly angered and fought with all his might, but he couldn’t win.

After corporealizing, he still couldn’t win.

Not only that, but his injuries were getting worse little by little. If this continued, he would undoubtedly die.

The zombie elder’s gaze flickered gloomily, and he swallowed a mouthful of blood. His aura violently rose, and he punched Zhang Quan back, then struck Elder Song back again, thinking of retreating and leaving.

But Yin Qing wouldn’t let him run.

Yin Qing’s finger gently pointed, and a water prison quickly condensed.

The zombie elder, who was just trying to leave, was instantly shackled by spiritual power and bound in place.

The zombie elder was greatly shocked.

Yin Qing, hidden in the corner, also slowly revealed himself.

Although young, his divine sense gaze was thick, and his aura was unfathomable.

The zombie elder stared with wide eyes, saying in shock:

“Who are you?”

For such an ordinary elder, Yin Qing was too lazy to waste words and directly used a fireball technique.

A fireball technique whistled out and stuck to his face.

The zombie elder fell with a cry.

Yin Qing still wasn’t reassured and added several more fireball techniques. Boom boom, directly blasting him until his form and spirit were scattered, lying on the ground on the verge of death, unable to move.

Zhang Quan and Elder Song on the side watched until their eyelids twitched.

Before they could sympathize with each other, an even more horrifying scene occurred.

In front of Zhang Quan and the two others, Yin Qing began to cast the Lingxuan Array.

He concentrated his spirit, pointing his finger at the heart meridian of the zombie elder, whose consciousness was on the verge of scattering and who couldn’t move.

With the heart meridian as the array eye, light blue array patterns, like beautiful Youlan, bloomed on the zombie elder’s chest, then extended outwards, taking the body as soil, growing roots, dense and layered, until they completely fit…

This elder at the Tie Shi realm was just like this, alive, turned into a puppet.

Zhang Quan and Elder Song’s gazes were horrified.

What kind of array was this?

Could this little ghost have controlled his divine sense body with just this array?

Could they also have been implanted with this kind of array?

Exactly what kind of array?

The array was profound, its skill close to the Dao, and the Dao close to the strange.

It was absurd to the extreme; they couldn’t understand it at all.

Zhang Quan suddenly started.

This array, it seemed… similar to the corpse control array that Lu Chengyun regarded as a treasure…

Only it wasn’t as evil, and it looked more complex, more profound, and deeper.

But didn’t Lu Chengyun say that array was very difficult? Didn’t he say the threshold was very high? Didn’t he say the array principles were very complex?

Zhang Quan still remembered Lu Chengyun’s words:

“…He hasn’t painstakingly and single-mindedly researched for decades, he hasn’t understood evil arrays, he hasn’t melted evil thoughts into knowledge, he hasn’t used bone as a pen, blood as ink, and corpses as a medium, how can he learn it?”

Then when did this little ghost learn it?

Zhang Quan wanted to ask, but he couldn’t open his mouth at all.

He was now already a puppet controlled by a divine sense that wasn’t his own…

After Yin Qing finished drawing the Lingxuan Array on the zombie elder’s body, he refined the two zombie disciples he had just killed into green smoke and fed it to him again, letting him recover some strength.

A moment later, the zombie elder’s illusory body gradually stabilized, and he slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were completely confused.

What remained in his memory was Yin Qing’s ruthless fireball technique.

Soon he discovered that his body was not under his control.

He was manipulated by Yin Qing and stood together with Zhang Quan and Elder Song. His mouth was also sewn shut with spiritual power threads, so he couldn’t speak either. He could only exchange a simple glance with Elder Song.

The emotions in this glance were very complex.

He also finally understood Elder Song’s suffering.

Their fate was no longer in their own hands.

But in the hands of that little cultivator beside them, who looked cute but was very fearful…

Yin Qing held three Tie Shi in his hand, continuing to guard the tree and wait for the rabbit.

He remembered Elder Song saying that the Zhang family’s zombie ancestor relied on the divine sense supply of later generations’ bloodline and would not personally swallow supplements.

Although Yin Qing was not clear how this supply was supplied, according to reason, the Zhang family ancestor should not enter his sea of consciousness.

Unless he caught all the Zhang family elders…

Not long after, two more Zhang family Tie Shi elders entered Yin Qing’s sea of consciousness.

Yin Qing used the same method as before.

This time it was three against two, a chaotic fight.

When they were almost out of tricks and had fought enough, Yin Qing showed his head again, using fireball technique, water prison technique, and earth fire array together, quickly eliminating the two elders.

Then he repeated the old trick.

Arranging the Lingxuan Array to control the Zhang family elders.

With this, the Zhang family had two fewer elders, and Yin Qing had two more Tie Shi in his hands.

Yin Qing was like fishing.

Fishing one by one.

Every time he fished one, he would have one more in his fish basket, and the river would have one less fish.

All the Tie Shi realm elders in the Zhang family ancestor portrait were caught by Yin Qing…

While Yin Qing was “fishing,” the undercurrents were also surging in Nanyue City.

Cultivation forces from all sides gathered in the city.

There were also more strange faces on the streets.

Ordinary Qi Refining cultivators knew nothing, still working hard for their daily livelihood, exhausting themselves for a single spirit stone.

Cultivators in the game, however, had solemn expressions.

The wind precedes the coming rain.

But they only perceived the wind, and didn’t know the details of what kind of mountain rain was coming.

Si Tu Family.

In a low-key, elegant, but secret hall.

Forces from all sides gathered.

There were Dao Soldier commanders allocated by the Dao Court, belonging to the Dao Soldier Division;

There were Foundation Establishment elders from various nearby cultivation forces commanded by the Dao Court;

There were also various families and sects related to Tianshu Pavilion who had followed Mister Zhuang, including the skinny old man, the white-clothed youth, and the middle-aged cultivator.

These families and forces had arrived secretly. The Dao Soldiers were also stationed outside the city in an abandoned mine to cover their tracks and avoid the Lu family.

At the same time, they bypassed the Nanyue City Dao Court Office.

The Dao Court Office officials present were all from nearby immortal cities or directly under the Dao Court.

Only the person from the Nanyue City Dao Court Office was Si Tu Fang.

But she was able to participate in this discussion because of her identity as a Si Tu family disciple and her knowledge of many inside stories.

The main reason for this gathering was a Dao Soldier commander surnamed Yang, who was in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment realm. He had a square face, serious eyebrows and eyes, and a steady demeanor.

Commander Yang got straight to the point:

“My name is Yang Jishan, and I humbly hold the position of a second-grade Dao Soldier commander.”

“I have received the decree from the Dao Court. This action aims to suppress the corpse mine, arrest Lu Chengyun, seal the corpse king, burn and destroy the group of corpses, prevent a corpse tide, prevent a corpse disaster, and not cause suffering to the living beings of Nanyue City…”

Commander Yang’s gaze was serious as he looked around, and he said in a deep voice:

“In Nanyue City, the Lu family’s power is great, and there are many zombies in the corpse mine.”

“So this action needs to be cautious, otherwise it will brew a great disaster!”

“Please all listen to orders and act accordingly, otherwise if a flaw occurs and a disaster is brewed, the Dao Court’s blame will come down, and none of us can bear it.”

After Commander Yang finished speaking, seeing that no one was dissatisfied, he nodded and continued:

“For this action, we will divide into two routes:”

“One route will suppress the Lu family;”

“Seal the Lu family mansion, capture the Lu family’s Foundation Establishment cultivators, and seal their cultivation with a second-grade spirit-binding lock. The ordinary Qi Refining disciples will be softly imprisoned and guarded, and will be dealt with together after the matter of the corpse mine is settled.”

“Do not kill indiscriminately.”

“But among the Lu family disciples, if there is resistance, kill without mercy!”

“Another route will be a gathering of cultivators who will rendezvous with the Dao Soldiers outside the city and sneak attack the corpse mine.”

“Advance covertly, strive for a quick battle and a quick victory, suppress the corpse mine, arrest Lu Chengyun, and strangle the corpse trouble before it arises…”

“Next, is the specific tactical arrangement…”

There were delays, so the update is late, sorry.

There is still one chapter, but it will be a bit late.
