With all plans in place, Yang Jishan then said in a deep voice:

“Tomorrow we will mobilize soldiers and gather cultivators. The day after tomorrow, at the Mao hour, we will divide and begin suppressing the Lu family and exterminating the corpse mine!”

The crowd’s expressions were solemn.

The day the war was to start was exactly the time a sudden storm would arrive.

In Nanyue City, the wind and rain swayed.

And they were to face the deeply rooted Lu family, a vast number of corpse mountains and seas of corpses…

As well as that corpse king who possessed the qualification of Dao sin!

The atmosphere in the field was, for a time, filled with killing intent…

And within the corpse mine, Lu Chengyun suddenly frowned.

For a moment, his heart was not at peace.

It seemed that something extremely dangerous had occurred, but he was completely unaware.

What danger could there be?

Lu Chengyun calmed his heart and thought slowly.

Zhang Quan was already dead, and his control over the corpse king had vanished.

In this world, only he remained as the one who could dominate the corpse king…

Moxiang was also treated as a sacrifice by him and fed to the Guanxiang Tu.

After his divine sense was eaten, only a physical shell would remain. He would then refine him into a small zombie and keep him by his side to do things for him.

After all, this child was clever and lovely, and he still quite liked him.

The only blame was that he was proficient in arrays and knew too much.

The matter of the corpse mine was too important, related to the fate of the Lu family and his future prospects on the great Dao. He had no choice but to eliminate all risk factors and cut off the roots of the problem.

A child who was too smart could not be kept.

One Zhang Quan, one Moxiang.

Both were crossed the river and demolished the bridge, used and then discarded by him.

Besides this, who else could threaten him? Who could make him feel uneasy?

Lu Chengyun’s fingers tapped woodenly on the table, his expression cold and stern.

A moment later, he again flipped open some intelligence.

These intelligences were all gathered by the Lu family’s cultivators and related to the recent movements and clues in Nanyue City and the corpse mine.

Lu Chengyun also relied on these intelligences to observe every subtle change in Nanyue City.

“More and more cultivators are coming and going…”

“Strange appearances, unable to detect their aura…”

“The Nanyue Sect is estranged from my Lu family, not receiving the spirit stones we send…”

“The Dao Court Division, on the other hand, is receiving the spirit stones without fail and always visiting the brothel.”

“The Palm Division is building and seeking pleasure, and has again humiliated a female cultivator to death…”

Lu Chengyun’s gaze condensed slightly, silently pondering.

“This is not particularly abnormal…”

“Am I overthinking?”

“Many cultivators are coming and going, which is a good thing. In the nearby several hundred li, only my Lu family’s Jinhua Street is the most luxurious and allows for unrestrained pleasure. When they play with female cultivators, they are also sending spirit stones to my Lu family…”

“The Dao Court Division is nothing abnormal.”

“If there were really movements from above, it would be impossible to hide from the local Dao Court Division.”

“Otherwise, even if they didn’t report it, they would more or less show some restraint.”

“Is the Nanyue Sect putting on a show for me? Do they want more spirit stones?”

Lu Chengyun snorted coldly, “I think this Palm Master is tired of his position!”

Lu Chengyun carefully read these intelligences again. Vaguely, he still felt something was fishy, but he couldn’t tell where it was…

“Perhaps… the corpse mine conspiracy has leaked?”

Lu Chengyun thought about it, then shook his head, “Impossible…”

The people who knew the inside story were one Zhang Quan, one Moxiang.

Zhang Quan was already dead, and Moxiang was taken by him to feed the diagram.

Besides this, what those corpse cultivators knew was only the surface. They knew nothing about the core Ten Thousand Corpse Array and Spirit Hub Array, as well as the corpse king within the altar.

Even if they reported it, it wouldn’t matter.

Just find someone to take the blame, and the Dao Court wouldn’t make a big fuss…

Lu Chengyun was full of suspicion and still felt uneasy.

“Or, should I go into the city personally and take a look?”

Lu Chengyun pondered for a moment, then shook his head again.

He still needed to worry about the Ten Thousand Corpse Array.

This kind of complex and multiple array that requires long-term operation cannot be left alone once it’s built. It still needs to be checked, maintained, and surveyed to ensure the array eyes are perfect, the array hub is smooth, and the array patterns are correct.

Furthermore, the array eyes of this Ten Thousand Corpse Array were constructed by Moxiang.

In some places, the ideas were wonderful, the spiritual power flowed, and the style was unique, fundamentally not as simple as he had previously thought.

Lu Chengyun himself had some difficulty maintaining it. Checking, correcting errors, and repairing required quite some time.

Not to mention the other array masters in the corpse mine, they could barely understand it.

Lu Chengyun sighed, saying with some regret:

“This little master was killed too early ah…”

Now he could only handle these matters personally and had no time for other things. But he was always somewhat uneasy, so he instructed:

“These few days, strictly increase the defense, patrol day and night. Once there is any abnormality, report back immediately.”

The corpse cultivator said yes and passed the order down.

For a time, the entire corpse mine was on high alert…

The Dao Court was thoroughly prepared, and the corpse mine was strictly guarded.

A great war was imminent…

And in Moxiang’s consciousness sea in the white coffin, he was also about to face the final enemy:

The Zhang family Corpse Dao ancestor master!

During this period, Moxiang had been fishing without stopping.

By now, he had led all the Zhang family ancestors, elders, and disciples in the sects into his consciousness sea.

Moxiang waited patiently, first commanding the iron corpses to surround and attack. After they fought each other, exhausted their means, and suffered heavy injuries, he would personally finish them off.

The elders were kept and controlled with the Spirit Hub Array.

The disciples were refined and used to restore the elders’ strength.

Among them, the strongest was the Zhang family’s great elder.

Moxiang spent a great deal of effort, finally subduing him at the cost of damaging two iron corpse elders.

The control of the iron corpses had reached its upper limit.

Moxiang then learned from Lu Chengyun, drawing the same Spirit Hub Array as the corpse king on the great elder’s body, and giving it a high-authority sequence array pattern. On the bodies of the other iron corpse elders, he drew secondary-authority sequence array patterns.

By controlling the great elder, he could unify the ordinary elders.

In this way, he indeed felt much more relaxed in his divine sense, and his control over the iron corpses was also more precise.

And Moxiang had a total of eleven iron corpses in his hand!

This was the number of all existing elders in the Zhang family.

They were originally all Zhang family elders, listening to the command of the Zhang family ancestor master, but now they all became puppets of Moxiang’s divine thought, dominated by Moxiang.

Using few against many turned into using many against few.

Using their way, they returned to their bodies.

Using the Zhang family elders to attack the Zhang family old ancestor!

Moxiang squinted his eyes and nodded with a smile, expressing great satisfaction with his cleverness:

“As expected of me!”

Next, Moxiang lined up the eleven Zhang family iron corpses in a line, setting up a formation, respectfully waiting for the Zhang family ancestor master.

And he himself hid to the side, waiting patiently, preparing to watch the Zhang family ancestors and sects kill each other, and reap the benefits himself…

Zhang Quan, who was watching all this, regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.

He should not, absolutely should not, have provoked this little ancestor in the first place!

No, or rather, it would have been better if he had been angered to death by him earlier.

If he had been angered to death earlier, he wouldn’t have been used by him to threaten his Zhang family ancestors and sects.

They were now all in the situation of “helping the tyrant”.

Moxiang was exactly that little evil tiger.

It wasn’t enough to eat them, he still wanted to turn them into chang ghosts and harm his Zhang family ancestors again.

Now the Zhang family elders all became the “chang ghosts” of this “little evil tiger”, imminent to harm, exactly their Zhang family old ancestor sect!

The old ancestor was indeed in more danger than good fortune!

This little ghost Moxiang was much more terrifying than Lu Chengyun!

Zhang Quan’s heart was both anxious and fearful.

But he was now only a puppet, dominated by Moxiang, listening to Moxiang’s commands, fundamentally powerless…

He didn’t know how long passed. Moxiang, who had been closing his eyes and cultivating his spirit, suddenly opened his eyes.

He discovered that the consciousness wall was shaking, as if something powerful was coming…

A moment later, smoke lingered.

An old man with an aura of immortality, stepped on clouds and descended.

This person had white beard and hair, looked like an immortal with a Daoist bearing, solemn and serious. It was exactly Zhang Quan’s old ancestor sect, and also exactly the zombie ancestor master in the Zushi Tu.

Moxiang’s eyes brightened, and the corner of his mouth outlined a hint of a wicked smile…

The Zhang family ancestor master had come.

He had to come.

Because there was no one left in the Zhang family.

One or two, all had gone and not returned.

Though only a short half-day had passed, his disciples and grandchildren had all disappeared.

Originally in the Zushi Tu with descendants filling the hall, now only this one bare old ancestor master remained.

If he didn’t come again, the Zhang family, which inherited the Corpse Dao, would be truly exterminated!

This must be someone’s deliberate trap.

The matter involved the bloodline of the sect, involving the inheritance of the Corpse Dao.

He wanted to see who it was, or rather, what evil thing it was, that dared to scheme against his Zhang family?

As soon as the Zhang family ancestor master came in, he was first startled.

What pure and thick divine sense!

Like the legendary blessed land with dense spiritual energy, the divine sense here was also pure and thick to a terrifying degree.

Perhaps his Zhang family disciples were unwilling to go back because they were greedy and happy without thinking of their home?

The Zhang family ancestor master wrinkled his eyebrows, looked around, his expression confused.

There were no outsiders around, nor were there other evil spirits or divine thought bodies.

Only his Zhang family’s ten or so elders, lined up in a row, standing there like wooden stakes.

The Zhang family ancestor master frowned and said:

“What do you mean by this?”

A crowd of elders had obscure breaths, dull gazes, and remained silent.

The Zhang family ancestor master sensed a hint of something not good.

Just as he was about to step forward and carefully check, a sudden yin wind rose.

The Zhang family’s great elder was the first to attack, his sharp claws violently extended, quenched with corpse poison, and attacked the Zhang family ancestor master’s back.

“Sneak attack?”

The Zhang family ancestor master’s face suddenly changed, and he grabbed the great elder’s wrist, blocking his attack.

At the same time, the other elders also swarmed forward, attacking either the heart, or the eyes, or the heavenly spirit, or the lower yin, or the joints…

Every move was vicious, intending to kill their old ancestor!

The Zhang family ancestor master was greatly enraged.

He had not expected that in a short time, these disciples and grandchildren of his would not only disappear but also rebel, even bullying their master and extinguishing their ancestor, wanting to take his life as an old ancestor!

“A group of evil obstacles!”

The Zhang family ancestor master attacked and parried, dismantling and blocking several moves, but two fists were no match for many hands. His Daoist robe was torn, his arm was injured, and several tufts of his white beard were pulled off…

The Zhang family ancestor master’s gaze sank.

In the fight, he discovered the abnormality of these elders.

“Are they being controlled?”

The Zhang family ancestor master’s mind quickly turned.

Controlled by what?

A spell? An illusion? Are they being bewitched or brainwashed?

The Zhang family ancestor master’s mind moved slightly, and he immediately chanted a spell loudly, then sternly rebuked:

“The ancestor master has personally arrived, why are you not quickly converting?”

“Convert to my door, seek eternal life…”

“Convert to my door…”

“Seek eternal life…”

These words were sometimes high and sometimes distant, listening in the ear, ringing in the heart, having the power to bewitch the heart and make people convert.

Moxiang’s divine sense was also bewildered for an instant.

However, a moment later, his heart was like a clear spring flowing over, and he instantly sobered up.

On the other side, the gazes of the group of iron corpses also showed yearning and longing.

But they were controlled by the Spirit Hub Array, their behavior dominated by spiritual threads, they were just puppets, and what they thought in their hearts was not important.

Even if the Zhang family ancestor master bewitched their hearts, their bodies were still very honest and only listened to Moxiang.

Their attacks did not stop.

These iron corpses had yearning gazes, obviously their hearts and intelligence were shaken.

But their attacks were still vicious, not at all polite.

The Zhang family ancestor master’s heart felt a little cold.

What kind of control method was this? He had never seen it before.

The Zhang family ancestor master said loudly:

“Which esteemed person has set up this trap?”

To be able to simultaneously control eleven iron corpses and not be interfered with by his Dao sound, this kind of means could only be achieved by an esteemed person.

Moxiang did not make a sound, nor did he plan to show his face.

The most ideal situation was that he didn’t need to take action himself.

Let their zombie family kill each other.

After both sides were injured, he would go out and pick up the spoils.

Relying on the large number of “corpses”, let this Zhang family ancestor master be consumed to death by his own disciples and grandchildren. It would be best to let him die without knowing how he died, becoming a confused ghost.

This could save a lot of trouble.

And the risk would also be small.

Even if he had to take action in the end, he would want to force out all the means of the Zhang family ancestor master, exhaust his trump cards, so that he could be prepared and have a target when he took action…

Moxiang’s mind moved, controlling the iron corpses, and their attacks became more urgent.

The Zhang family ancestor master was suppressed to the extreme.

He was surrounded and attacked by his own disciples and grandchildren, and he didn’t even know who the opponent behind the scenes was.

In the beginning, he still considered the affection between ancestor and grandchild and didn’t use heavy hands, but gradually, his body was getting more and more injured. He then knew that continuing like this wouldn’t work.

Continuing like this, he could only die here!

The Zhang family ancestor master’s expression sank, and his aura suddenly changed.

That aura of immortality completely disappeared, replaced by thick corpse qi.

His pupils turned into vertical pupils, from pitch black to a rusty copper color, his gaze cold.

His Daoist robe also burst inch by inch, revealing skin the color of ancient copper. On the skin, green veins were ferocious, twisted and ugly, incomparably tough.

His figure also suddenly pulled high, swelling like copper and iron.

His sharp claws were sharp and long, like fine swords, their tips showing a copper red color.

His appearance was terrifying, his aura violent and savage.

Moxiang slightly sucked in a cold breath:

Copper corpse!

Although somewhat expected, he was still very shocked.

He hadn’t thought that the Zhang family ancestor master’s manifest divine thought would actually be a copper corpse!

A second-grade zombie could only be refined into a copper corpse.

The strength of a copper corpse was at least at the Foundation Building mid-stage, and could reach the late stage with deep cultivation.

In Moxiang’s estimation, the Zhang family ancestor master was only a line away from the Foundation Building late stage.

But because it was the ancestor master, who received the family’s incense and the belief of the Zhang family disciples and grandchildren, this also had an influence on its strength.

Now the Zhang family disciples and grandchildren were either killed and fed by Moxiang, or refined and eaten by Moxiang. The remaining ones had become Moxiang’s puppets, engaged in “bullying their master and extinguishing their ancestor”.

So the strength of the Zhang family ancestor master was greatly damaged. Currently, it seemed to be in the middle of the Foundation Building mid-stage.

But even so, it was still very strong.

Moxiang estimated in his heart that in a head-on fight, he was very likely, highly probable, not the opponent of the Zhang family ancestor master.

Fifty-fifty chance of winning or losing.

His chances of winning were probably still a little smaller.

A copper corpse ah…

Such a large thing with copper skin and iron bones, thick skin and flesh, fast body movements, and deep corpse qi, how to fight ah…

Even if he could win, it would probably be a miserable victory.

Moxiang sighed in his heart, then felt fortunate, and muttered in a low voice:

“It’s a good thing I don’t need to fight myself…”

Moxiang manipulated the Zhang family iron corpses and began a righteous surround attack…

Moxiang cheered them on in his heart:

“Go!”

“Take down your old ancestor!”

“Take it down, and you will be the old ancestor!”

Eleven iron corpses fought head-on with one copper corpse, fighting desperately, flesh against flesh.

Fist to flesh, claw to blood.

The scene was extremely intense for a time.
