The Winds and Clouds Change Abruptly

Time passed in a flash, and soon it was the day for Old Master Ren's grave relocation.

On this day, Uncle Jiu brought Zhang Chulan, Ling Lianhua—who had fully recovered—Jiang Zhen, and his two disciples to the front of Old Master Ren's grave.

As soon as they arrived, Jiang Zhen sensed an overwhelming concentration of Yin Sha energy filling the area.

In Jiang Zhen's eyes, the tomb of Old Master Ren before him was the very source of this Yin energy.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhen raised an eyebrow and said:

"Interesting, very interesting! This Old Master Ren really does have a big problem!

With this level of Yin Sha energy, heh, I wonder what kind of thing is lying underneath!"

Thinking this, Jiang Zhen took a deep breath, then a playful smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Heh, hope it doesn't disappoint me!"

What Jiang Zhen didn't notice was that not far away, Ren Tingting was watching them curiously.

Especially when she saw Ling Lianhua and Jiang Zhen, her eyes lit up.

After all, the two of them were dressed very differently from the others.

Jiang Zhen and Ling Lianhua were both dressed like ancients—Ling Lianhua's outfit couldn't be pinned to any specific dynasty.

But Jiang Zhen looked like he was wearing Tang Dynasty clothing, which was pleasing to the eye at first glance.

Just then, Captain Ah Wei spotted the situation and immediately ran over, blocking Ren Tingting from view.

Then, with a swaggering air, he stared at the three of them. But Jiang Zhen just looked at him with utter speechlessness.

Instead, he turned to the other two and said:

"Ling Lianhua, Zhang Chulan, can you feel it? This terrifying Yin Sha energy?"

Hearing this, Zhang Chulan and Ling Lianhua—one was young and hadn't systematically studied these things, so he didn't understand.

As for Ling Lianhua, she came from a martial arts background. Though she had started cultivating Qi, she didn't recognize Yin Sha energy either.

Still, even if they didn't fully grasp it, there was one thing they understood clearly.

That was that ever since they arrived, they could feel a faint, bone-chilling cold seeping through their bodies.

"Brother Jiang Zhen, is this Yin Sha energy you're talking about that biting, icy cold?"

Hearing Zhang Chulan's question, Jiang Zhen nodded and said in a low voice:

"That's right, that coldness is exactly the Yin Sha energy.

Later, when you've seen more, you'll understand. I've felt this sensation for over a thousand years, even absorbed it for that long.

Back then, I fell into the place where Bai Qi slaughtered four hundred thousand troops of the Zhao State.

And that bastard Bai Qi actually used the pit I had made when I fell as his burial pit.

To save trouble, he directly buried those four hundred thousand soldiers alive in the same pit I was in.

That filled my place with dense Yin energy—what a rotten trick!"

Hearing this, Zhang Chulan, who knew who Bai Qi was, immediately gave Jiang Zhen a thumbs-up and said:

"You're insane! No wonder you're from the same clan as the Zombie King Jiang Chen. You could still sleep through that—with corpses all above you, you slept for a thousand years!"

Jiang Zhen: "Heh, this is nothing. When you reach my level later, you'll understand."

While the three were talking, the digging on the other side had already begun.

Soon, the entire grave was fully excavated.

"Boom... crash..."

But just then, the clear, windless sky suddenly erupted with fierce winds, followed by a torrential downpour.

"Damn! It's raining! Run!!"

Seeing this, the workers immediately looked for shelter, and Master Ren did the same.

Only Uncle Jiu stared at the scene with a grave expression.

"Not good. The thing inside hasn't even come out yet, and it's already causing this—thunder and rain together.

This clearly means Heaven's Dao wants to strike at what's below! Could it be that thing has truly become a threat?"

Just as everyone was about to take cover, Jiang Zhen let out a cold snort.

"Hmph!"

That sound rang out like a thunderclap in the air, and instantly, the dark clouds in the sky were shaken apart, followed by the wind dying down.

But the others, blinded by the gale and rain, couldn't see any of this.

They only heard a sound, and then the wind stopped, the rain ceased, and the clouds scattered.

At that moment, Zhang Chulan and Li Lianhua, standing beside Jiang Zhen, both gave him a thumbs-up. Zhang Chulan, especially, said excitedly:

"Damn, Brother Jiang Zhen, that's incredible! One snort and the clouds scatter, the rain stops—your skill is amazing!"

Jiang Zhen, hearing this, turned his gaze to Old Master Ren's coffin, now washed clean by the rain, and said:

"Come on, that's nothing. The real trouble is just about to arrive.

Just you wait—what comes next will be interesting. If I'm not mistaken, the thing down below has already become a Flying Zombie.

In a bit, you can try fighting it. I'll suppress its strength.

Li Lianhua, you'll be fine. But Chulan, you don't have much combat experience, so this Flying Zombie will be good practice.

These things are a terrifying existence among zombies.

Not only can they suck blood from a distance, they can devour souls and even fly through the air and burrow through the ground.

In a moment, I'll seal its long-range bloodsucking ability, leaving only its flight and burrowing, so you two can gain some experience.

Then, the three of you—you, Uncle Jiu—will work together to fight this Flying Zombie. Don't worry, with me here, nothing will go wrong."

Hearing this, the two of them immediately felt an unprecedented sense of security.

They nodded firmly and said, "We understand!"

At that moment, Jiang Zhen also began communicating with his Little Sprite:

"Little Sprite, you should be able to sense the thing inside that Flying Zombie, right? Can you catch it?

I can feel its presence, but I'm not confident I can stop it."

Little Sprite: "Host, rest assured. With me here, it won't escape. This is one of those nasty things those guys created to absorb the origin energy of all worlds.

As soon as I detect it, I can draw on a portion of my main body's power and easily deal with it.

But that requires the Host to defeat the host creature first!"

Jiang Zhen: "Heh, no need for such trouble. I can sense that thing isn't particularly powerful.

The moment I make a move, it will be terrified. It will definitely try to flee.

You just prepare to intercept it. As for the rest, don't worry.

This Flying Zombie—let the three of them handle it. Uncle Jiu's current strength is decent. He might not be able to wrestle a zombie barehanded, but he can suppress a Flying Zombie.

And Zhang Chulan's Lightning Technique and Golden Light Spell are extremely effective against that kind of thing. Plus, that guy has been studying Li Lianhua's techniques lately, so his strength has improved considerably.

As for Li Lianhua, he's already recovered. His overall power has reached unprecedented heights. 'Destruction leads to rebirth'—that describes him perfectly.

His strength is now comparable to a Grandmaster of Martial Arts. With the Lightning Technique he just learned, I reckon one sword strike from him could break through the Flying Zombie's defenses."

Hearing this, Little Sprite nodded and said:

"Alright. In that case, I'll communicate with my main body and prepare to intercept that thing!"

Jiang Zhen nodded in response and said no more.

On the other side, Li Lianhua and Zhang Chulan had already arrived beside Uncle Jiu.

At this moment, Uncle Jiu's expression was extremely grave.

"Trouble. This time, it's real trouble. With such terrifying Yin Sha energy, Old Master Ren down there is absolutely unprecedented in his horror!"

Hearing this, Li Lianhua patted Uncle Jiu on the shoulder and said, "Uncle Jiu, don't worry. Aren't we here too? As for what happens next, and those people over there—you'll need to say something to them first. Otherwise, they..."

At that, Uncle Jiu said, "Let them bring the coffin up first. I'll go talk to Master Ren about this."

Hearing this, Zhang Chulan seemed to think of something and immediately said, "Uncle Jiu, I'll go with you!"

Though Uncle Jiu didn't understand why, he still agreed.

Then, Uncle Jiu instructed the men above to hurry up and lift the coffin, before making his way over to Master Ren.

"Master Ren."

Master Ren: "Uncle Jiu, has something happened?"

Uncle Jiu nodded, his voice heavy with gravity as he said, "Master Ren, what comes next is very troublesome. Could we speak privately?"

Hearing this, Master Ren frowned and said, "What exactly is it that requires a private conversation?"
