“The red light is a secret technique, and it’s extremely poisonous. Let me deal with it,” Qin Renyue said as he leisurely walked forward. He raised his hand and pushed it out. His astrolabe appeared, glowing with a green light that kept the red light at bay.

Soon after, the red light vanished.

Lu Zhou swooped down. When he was about land, he saw Jian Zhen getting up and sitting in a cross-legged position. Then, he joined his palms together and began to chant Sanskrit scriptures.

Seals began to appear in the air. The soil on the ground loosened as hands broke out of the surface.

“I didn’t know Buddhists had such a disgusting technique,” Mingshi Yin said.

Yu Zhenghai could no longer endure it. He hated this kind of technique the most. He launched energy sabers at the ground.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

“Senior brother, I still think it’s better to leave,” Little Yuan’er said, rubbing her arms that had erupted with goosebumps.

Yu Shangrong chuckled. “Don’t worry. They’re all dead. Junior sister, you have to remember that sometimes the living are even more terrifying than the dead.”

“Oh.” Little Yuan’er seemed to understand and not understand Yu Shangrong’s words.

Yu Zhenghai laughed and said, “Second Junior Brother, you have a point. However, I still hate them.”

Meanwhile, Lu Zhou looked at Jian Zhen and shook his head expressionlessly. Then, he raised his hand before bringing it down.

The Expansive Heavenly Energy seal fell on Jian Zhen. With just one move, he lost two Birth Charts and his physical body.

The sounds of the chanting stopped abruptly, and the movements in the ground ceased.

Lu Zhou returned to stand in front of everyone.

“Pavilion Master, what should we do with the two of them?” Kong Wen asked.

Wei Jiangnan and Wei Jingye’s faces were as pale as a sheet of paper. Their bodies’ were also emitting a faint stench.

Lu Zhou sighed as he shook his head. “Using this method to obtain eternal life is the greatest insult to the living…”

Then, Lu Zhou waved his hand.

A ball of flames shot out, engulfing Wei Jiangnan and Wei Jingye. Soon enough, the duo was reduced to ashes that scattered in the mausoleum.

Everyone sighed.

“I think if they were alive, they would be very grateful to Pavilion Master,” Kong Wen said, “I would rather be reduced to ashes than be controlled by others.”

Mingshi Yin said, “You seem quite affected by them.”

Kong Wen smiled bitterly. “My brothers and I were born into lowly lives. We worked for people who enjoy a luxurious life and have high status, respect, and power that can shake the sky. It’s said that people are born equal, but the truth is no one is equal.”

Seeing Wei Jiangnan and Wei Jingye, Kong Wen and his brothers felt like they were looking into a mirror.

Mingshi Yin patted Kong Wen’s shoulder. “Don’t be sad. Isn’t everything fine now?”

“Thank you for your words, Mr. Fourth,” Kong Wen said.

Kong Wen and his brothers’ loyalty increased by another 10 points each.

The loyalty won from sincerity and kindness was better than the obedience obtained from force and power.

When ashes scattered completely, Lu Zhou said, “Follow me.”

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Everyone flew toward the depths of the mausoleum.

Zhao Yu turned his head and looked at the ground. It took him a long time to recover before he hurriedly chased after the others. He thought that the most ruthless was truly the royal family. If he ascended the throne, he wondered if he would one day become as ruthless as them.

…

After crossing a long passage, they finally landed next to an abyss. There was a wooden bridge on the abyss that was covered in spiderwebs.

The surroundings were dim, and the moat looked like a bottomless abyss.

“The stone door on the other side of the moat lies the tomb of the later Emperor Emeritus. If we forcefully break it down, we’ll all be buried here. To open it, we need the White Tiger Coiling Dragon Jade,” Ji Shi said.

“White Tiger Coiling Dragon Jade?”

“One was with Meng Mingshi, and the other one is with Ying Gou,” Ji Shi said.

“Where’s Ying Gou?” Mingshi Yin looked around. “Where’s the zombie king?”

Ji Shi pointed at the abyss.

“…” Mingshi Yin shrank back.

At this time, Yan Zhenluo brought a talisman out and ignited it.

The talisman was like a lantern as it fell down, illuminated the abyss under the wooden bridge.

When the talisman was about 100 meters down, everyone saw a horrifying sight.

A bald man with a fierce and twisted expression was suspended in midair by four hooked chains on each of his limbs. His fangs were long, and his face that was white looked like the bark of a tree. He wore clothes that were made from metal.

“…”

Little Yuan’er said, “Fourth Senior Brother, stop retreating. If you retreat anymore, you’re going to step on me.”

“Uh… Junior sister, don’t be afraid. I’ll protect you,” Mingshi Yin said.

Conch covered her mouth and laughed silently.

Qin Renyue shook his head. “I didn’t expect to see one of the ten zombie kings…”

Qin Renyue’s knowledge had increased a lot, but the knowledge was too frightening.

When the talisman burned out, Yan Zhenluo ignited another talisman. Sometimes light did not just drive the darkness away, but it could also drive away the fear in one’s heart.

Lu Zhou turned to look at the four elders of Mount Li and asked, “The White Tiger Coiling Dragon Jade is with him?”

“That’s right,” Cui Mingguang said.

Mingshi Yin flashed and appeared before the four elders. He held the Separation Hook that glinted coldly in his hand before he said with a threatening smile, “You better not play tricks. Are you trying to use Ying Gou to deal with us?”

The four elders of Mount Li were stunned. Then, Ji Shi said, “If I really wanted to do so, wouldn’t it be better if I didn’t mention Ying Gou and let all of you fall into a trap?”

Mingshi Yin nodded. “You have a point. Then, how do we get the White Tiger Coiling Dragon Jade?”

“With your hands,” Ji Shi replied.

“Hey, hey, are you joking with me?” Mingshi Yin said with a frown.

Zhou Chongshu said, “There are two ways: one, defeat Ying Gou; two, find a way to get it from him. However, the difficulty of both methods is high. Once he completely wakes up, even Venerable Masters might not be a match for him.”

Lu Zhou clasped his hands on his back and pondered on the matter. This was indeed a difficult problem to solve.

Put Ying Gou’s strength aside, just a slight misstep in here could cause everyone to die.

No one dared to speak their minds carelessly at this moment.

Even the experienced and knowledgeable Qin Renyue only shook his head. He did not have a solution either.

At this moment, Ji Shi said, “I’ve said it before. The mausoleum of the late Emperor Emeritus is extraordinary. Not everyone can enter his tomb.”

Lu Zhou thought about it for a moment longer before he said, “I’ll go down and have a look. If there are any strange movements, leave immediately.”

“Alright.” Qin Renyue nodded.

“Be careful, master,” Little Yuan’er said.

Lu Zhou stepped forward and descended down the abyss. His movements were as light as a swallow and silent.

When he drew close to the chains, he could clearly sense the death aura from Ying Gou.

Ying Gou was clearly different from the corpses animated through witchcraft.

The death aura eroded the surrounding Primal Qi, distracting those who drew close and making it difficult for them to mobilize their Primal Qi.

Ying Gou’s eyes were tightly shut, and he was as still as a statue.

Then, Lu Zhou saw the White Tiger Coiling Dragon Jade hanging on Ying Gou’s metal clothes. He unleashed a palm seal, grabbing the White Tiger Coiling Dragon Jade.

The White Tiger Coiling Dragon Jade had barely moved when Ying Gou suddenly opened his eyes.
