Chapter 564: Chapter 321: The Demon Corpse in the Tomb_2

Everyone looked on with fear in their eyes.

"A bunch of trash!"

Elder Ge Lai, furious at the sight, stepped forward personally, removing all the coffin nails and the red rope, and then lowered his body, crawling into the hole.

The few barbarians from Jiangxia craned their necks in anticipation, eyes full of hope.

But the experts from Tusi City exchanged a glance with each other and slowly began to retreat.

The cave was damp and dark with many tree roots protruding. Because it had been raining, water had seeped in, making everything muddy.

Although this cave was much larger than other robbers’ tunnels, one still had to crawl to advance.

Elder Ge Lai quickly became as muddy as a monkey.

But he didn’t care at all, holding a dark-colored amulet in his mouth, his eyes filled with fanaticism as he continued crawling down the passage.

Suddenly, his hand touched something.

Oddly enough, Elder Ge Lai’s eyes, which seemed blind outside, now emitted a faint green light, allowing him to see clearly everything around him inside the cave.

In his hand, was a human skull, the flesh dried and shrunken, the bone gnawed and jagged.

Elder Ge Lai didn’t mind at all, throwing the skull aside, and continued to crawl deeper, far deeper than the other Barbarian King tombs.

With a clatter!

With a tumble of soil and rocks, he suddenly rolled onto the floor.

Before him lay a huge tomb chamber, surrounded by green stones piled up to form a square, with a round stone platform in the center.

Some tombs are particular about the pattern of the heaven being round and the earth being square, but this chamber was the opposite: the heaven on the inside, the earth on the outside.

Moreover, the ground was covered in a layer of black soil, exuding an astonishing chill, with even patches of white frost visible within the soil layer.

Black soil of nine Yin, where the old cat lies in wait.

This was indeed one of the legendary Corpse Nourishing Lands.

What was even more ruthless was that the tomb chamber had black obsidian inlaid and polished on all four sides—Xun, Li, Kun, and Dui—forming mirrors.

This is an artificially created "Four Yin Land," also a Corpse Nourishing Land.

Even Buddha would turn into a zombie if buried here!

Elder Ge Lai, visiting for the first time, didn’t even have time to look around and was trembling all over, covering his nose tightly.

On the round stone platform lay a large stone coffin, carved with a fierce tiger in the middle, surrounded by all sorts of evil monsters.

The coffin lid on top of the stone coffin was shattered.

On that stone platform, there were piles of severed limbs and body parts, and lying on top was a monster with a human form but no hair, white and smooth skin, blood-red nails, a mouth full of sharp teeth, and a fierce countenance like an evil ghost.

It still hadn’t fully formed!

The old man covered his mouth, not daring to breathe even slightly.

Whatever "White Tiger Holy King" was utterly fabricated by him, a lie to fool those big idiots.

His real name was Chong Ge Lai. Although he was also from the Miao ethnicity of Xiangxi, he had mixed into the pugilistic world at an early age, and for him, there was no difference between Miao and Han.

His true identity was that of a Hidden Treasure Man from the Mystical Sect, digging through tombs everywhere in search of various Longevity Techniques, cultivation methods, and Heavenly Spirit Earth Treasure.

At the same time, he had been recruited by Zhao Changsheng to join the Ghost Sect.

This Fengshui setup, which disrupted the Four Symbols Formation of earth’s veins, was all arranged by Zhao Changsheng. While Lady Liu was lurking in Wuchang City, he lured the barbarians from Jiangxia to jointly assist in the destruction of Han Balin’s six avoiding strategies.

The plan had seemed flawless, yet Han Balin had unexpectedly betrayed them, causing a hitch in the plan.

Indeed, the people hidden in the underground palace were from the Tu Clan, but they had nothing to do with the barbarians of Jiangxia. Instead, he was a Tusi from a Miao Village during the Song Dynasty, named Peng Sanli.

Although a member of the Miao, he was obsessed with the Taoist Mystical Sect.

During the reign of Song Huizong, the Ghost Sect’s influence had already penetrated the court. The Fengshui master Lai Buyi offended the powerful and left office to retreat. He was almost killed on the road but was saved by Tusi Peng Sanli.

While healing his wounds, Peng Sanli followed Lai Buyi and learned quite a few Fengshui secret techniques. After Lai Buyi left, he ventured into the surrounding mountains and discovered this Corpse Nourishing Land under the Barbarian King tomb.

It wouldn’t have been an issue, but the Tusi encountered the same dilemma many from the Mystical Sect faced: with his life nearing its end and his cultivation incomplete.

Dissatisfied, he happened to encounter Zhao Changsheng, the Sect Leader from a former life, Zhang Huaisu, who pursued Lai Buyi here. After being persuaded, he began practicing the "Yin Corpse Longevity Method."

The "Yin Corpse Longevity Method" was the same Evil Technique practiced by the demon found by Li Yan in Zigui County, in the bronze coffin in the river.

This demon was Luo Xing, a disciple of Tongtian San.

The "Yin Corpse Longevity Method" could transform one into undead, allowing longevity as an old Yin man, with the method of cultivation varying with each of the Five Elements.

Zigui County’s practitioner specialized in Water Skill,

While this Peng Sanli practiced Earth Skill, and furthermore, Zhao Changsheng had tampered with it, integrating the Taoist "Taiyin Refining Form Skill" into it.

Zhao Changsheng deceived Peng Sanli, telling him that he could cultivate into an Earth Immortal, but at most, he could only become a Corpse Immortal, no different from a demon.

Simply put, he was just an experiment for Zhao Changsheng.

The hairless creature before them, far from being a Corpse Immortal, had another resounding name: Undecomposed Bone!

Its body was as tough as refined iron, its strength far surpassing that of ordinary zombies, and within it flowed a full supply of Yin Evil Qi, enabling it to use spells.

Now that the Four Symbols Formation meant to disturb the earth’s veins had failed, if they couldn’t even accomplish what was before them now, Zhao Changsheng would certainly not let it go.

Thinking of this, the elder named Geli Chong held his breath tightly, then drew a white bead from his bosom and tossed it out.

Roar!

The Undecomposed Bone, upon catching the scent, immediately went mad, and with a flash, it leaped into the air, swallowing the white bead into its mouth.

Afterward, the breath of the Undecomposed Bone seemed suppressed. Its body stiffened and fell rigidly to the ground.

Elder Geli Chong suddenly sprang forward, drew a copper charm from his bosom, stuffed it into the Undecomposed Bone’s mouth, lit the incense, and following the Secret Technique taught by Zhao Changsheng, he shook the Scripture Banner, chanting under his breath.

Whoosh~

Within the tomb, a gust of cold wind suddenly arose.

The ground turned bone-chillingly cold, and then a rolling black mist rose, surging continuously, vaguely forming into the fierce face of an old man, which ultimately attached itself to the Undecomposed Bone.

After that, the body of the Undecomposed Bone began to tremble violently, its head swaying unnaturally back and forth, now emitting a low roar, now uttering a strange incantation.

For a good half incense stick’s time, the Undecomposed Bone finally calmed down.

It suddenly opened its eyes, standing upright with blood-red eyes that showed no more of the previous bloodthirsty frenzy, but rather a cold indifference that seemed to have experienced the vicissitudes of life.

"It" looked at its own hands, which now bore blood-red sharp claws, with some confusion in its gaze, turning to look at the elder opposite.

The elder’s eyes brightened with joy, and he hurriedly bowed deeply, saying,

"Subordinate Geli Chong greets Commander Huang!"

The rejuvenator before them was none other than the former Ezhou Ghost Sect Commander, Master Huang.

Zhao Changsheng traveled far and wide, whether it be Liu Gang and his wife’s body intended for becoming an Earth Immortal, or the Undead Zombie before them now, all for preparing vessels for important members of the sect!

Originally, this body was not yet shaped into a Corpse Immortal, but after Tongtian San’s failure on the Yelang Ancient Road, Zhao Changsheng immediately sent a message to awaken the body ahead of time to assist Master Huang’s return to life.

To defeat Han Balin was simply to cultivate Zhao Changsheng’s chosen candidate, but the true confidante and arm upon whom he relied in Ezhou was only the illustrious Master Huang.

They were in dire need of manpower – even if the Four Symbols Formation had failed, they still needed Master Huang’s return to life to go smoothly!

Although Master Huang now possessed a zombie’s body, his Divine Soul had returned to its place. After listening to the elder recount the current situation, there was no surprise on his face; instead, he looked into the distance, his voice aged and hoarse, murmuring,

"The Sect Leader is finally making a move?"

Geli Chong didn’t understand the implication, but he dared not ask more. He quickly drew a red charm from his bosom and presented it respectfully, "My lord, your current body will attract lightning strikes upon leaving, please take this with you."

"Moreover, the monks from the Zen sect have already surrounded the Barbarian King’s tomb; we must break through swiftly and leave!"

...

Rumble rumble!

The sky flashed with lightning, and rain was unrelenting.

It was nearing dusk by this time; the sky was densely covered by dark clouds and was even gloomier.

Below the Barbarian King’s tomb, several elderly monks looked up at the sky.

The clouds rolling in from the Turtle and Snake mountains were about to disperse the White Tiger Sha, and the fog in the distance was also thinning.

One monk held a spell in his hand, his eyes flickering with brilliance.

"Over there!"

As the White Tiger Sha dispersed, his Divine Skills were no longer hindered.

And behind them, the garrison army was already in position, with over a dozen Franco Cannons arranged.

"Fire!"

As he pointed out the location, the garrison Commander immediately issued the order.

Boom boom boom!

In an instant, the cannons roared, mud and debris flying on the opposite hillside, trees and tents hidden within them torn to shreds...
