Stumbled into a Zombie Nest?

Facing Master Ren's warm invitation, Fei Luo felt somewhat helpless.

Since Master Ren had spoken to this extent, it would seem improper to refuse again, so Fei Luo had no choice but to stay at Ren Mansion and await Master Ren's lavish hospitality.

At this moment, not far from Ren Family Town, a man arrived. He stood on a hillside, gazing at Ren Family Town from afar, looking extremely sinister.

The man had a gloomy appearance, and his triangular eyes inadvertently emitted a chilling, divine light.

"Maoshan Sect, what a fine Maoshan Sect Lin Jiu. You actually ruined my meticulous layout in one fell swoop. Since that is the case, don't blame me for being heartless."

A sinister voice drifted on the wind, and the man turned and vanished into the wilderness.

In the blink of an eye, night fell.

Inside Justice Manor, Uncle Nine was taking a hot bath, while Qiusheng and Wencai waited anxiously outside the courtyard.

"Senior brother, you, hahaha." Wencai looked at Qiusheng, who was covered in filth as if he had crawled out of a mud pit, and covered his mouth to laugh.

"You're laughing? You're laughing your head off! Look at yourself!" Qiusheng glared at Wencai and gave him a knock on the head.

At this moment, both Qiusheng and Wencai were covered in scabs and emitting a foul, fishy odor; anyone who didn't know better would have thought the zombies had come back to life.

After Uncle Nine brought Qiusheng and Wencai back to Justice Manor, the three of them had consumed the Marrow Cleansing Pill gifted by Fei Luo.

Today, the three of them had finally emerged from seclusion one after another.

At this time, whether it was Uncle Nine, Qiusheng, or Wencai, they had all undergone a qualitative change after the transformation of the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

At the very least, on the road ahead, they would not grow as slowly as they did in the original story, but would instead enter a period of rapid growth.

Before long, Uncle Nine appeared in the courtyard wearing a brand-new robe. The most obvious change was that although his hair was a mix of black and white, the black strands were several times darker than before, and even his complexion was unusually ruddy.

"You two, go wash up quickly. Remember to come out and practice your skills once you're done," Uncle Nine said, looking at the two.

"Yes, Master."

Qiusheng and Wencai took towels and other items and headed toward the bathhouse.

"I wonder if Fei Luo has come out of seclusion yet. I have a premonition that this kid will definitely give us a huge surprise. I'm afraid that within two years, he will surpass my senior brother," Uncle Nine muttered, glancing in the direction of Fei Luo's small courtyard.

Shi Jian, a formidable existence, was hailed as the number one person of the contemporary Maoshan Sect.

His strength was unfathomable, and he had created his own set of lightning-attribute fist techniques that possessed a power that could baffle both ghosts and gods.

It was just that Shi Jian's personality was a bit violent, which was completely different from Uncle Nine.

Casting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, Uncle Nine picked up the Supreme Clarity Great Cavern Scripture and began to read.

At this time, on the wilderness outside Ren Family Town, a group of black shadows was leaping forward continuously.

"Ding-ling~~"

In the silent night sky and the desolate fields, the sound of a bell rang out.

Every time the bell rang, those black shadows would jump forward in unison.

"Ding-ling~"

"Ding-ling~"

The bell-ringer in the lead was none other than the middle-aged man who had arrived outside Ren Family Town during the day.

The bright, clear moon hung like a round plate in the sky, casting its light upon the surface of the earth.

Suddenly, as the moonlight shone over them, those black shadows were revealed to be actual zombies.

This eerie scene appeared extremely sinister in the quiet night, making one's scalp tingle and hair stand on end.

"Maoshan Sect, Lin Jiu, Ren Family Town, you destroyed my Iron Corpse. Today, I will ensure that not even a chicken or dog remains in Ren Family Town," a sinister voice drifted through the night sky.

The middle-aged man with triangular eyes stopped when he was five hundred meters away from Ren Family Town.

He began to chant, tapping several acupoints on the bodies of these zombies, and then pulled several silver needles from his pouch, inserting them into the cranial acupoints behind the ears of the zombies.

"Go, my children. Kill Lin Jiu and raze Ren Family Town to the ground." His voice was ghostly, spreading in the wind as if blowing a horn of death.

As the voice fell, the ten zombies roared in unison.

"Ga~"

"Ga~"

The sound of this roaring startled the birds sleeping in the woods, causing them to flap their wings and fly away in a panic.

Substantial yin energy erupted from the seven orifices of the ten zombies, merging into the thick night.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

After being enchanted, the zombies bared their fangs, fierce light shooting from their eyes, and like agile leopards, they vanished into the night in a matter of seconds.

Ren Family Town, Justice Manor.

"I feel so relaxed, light as a swallow. Junior brother's pill is truly extraordinary, I feel..." Qiusheng and Wencai had just walked out of the courtyard wearing shirts, and before they could finish their exclamation, they looked up at the night sky.

What was that?

After the transformation of the Marrow Cleansing Pill, the five senses of Qiusheng and Wencai had also been enhanced, and even in the dark, they could vaguely perceive some movement.

In their line of sight, several black shadows were seen darting and leaping through the night, drifting toward Justice Manor.

That's right, drifting.

Because these berserk zombies moved like ghosts, it felt to them as if they were floating.

Hearing the commotion from Qiusheng and Wencai, Uncle Nine also looked over in the direction of their gaze with suspicion.

"Not good!" Uncle Nine sprang up instantly. "Quick, bring the ritual implements!"

But at that moment, a zombie had already vaulted over the courtyard wall and into Justice Manor.

"Roar~"

The zombie let out a hiss, locked onto its target, and lunged at Uncle Nine with pitch-black, razor-sharp claws. Immediately after, one zombie after another followed in quick succession, as terrifying as if a zombie nest had been poked.

"Holy crap! What the hell!"

Qiusheng and Wencai cried out, immediately turning tail and fleeing toward the room where the ritual implements were kept.

Facing the lunging zombies, Uncle Nine performed a somersault to dodge, but the subsequent zombies swarmed in like locusts.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sharp claws of these zombies were like steel, gouging hole after hole into the brick floor of Justice Manor.

Uncle Nine was at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and after being tempered by a Marrow Cleansing Pill, he had faintly touched the threshold of the middle stage.

He threw a punch at a zombie in front of him, only to feel as if he had struck solid steel.

An Iron Corpse?

No, this was just like Old Master Ren—it was the pinnacle of an Iron Corpse!

After a brief exchange, Uncle Nine instantly determined that four out of the ten zombies were at the pinnacle of the Iron Corpse stage.

How could this be?

"Master, the ritual implement!" Just then, Qiusheng and Wencai appeared and tossed a Guan Gong Blade toward Uncle Nine.

"Boom!" Without a second thought, Uncle Nine caught the heavy blade and swung it horizontally at the incoming zombies. However, it only forced back three of them; the remaining few at the pinnacle of the Iron Corpse stage didn't budge an inch.

"Master, what do we do with so many zombies?" Qiusheng rolled to dodge a zombie's pursuit and asked anxiously.

"Go quickly and fetch Fei Luo! Only he can subdue these zombies!" Uncle Nine shouted.

From the moment these zombies entered Ren Family Town to the moment they stormed Justice Manor, less than half an incense stick of time had passed.

At this moment, Fei Luo was clinking glasses with Master Ren.

"Master Fei Luo."

Before Master Ren could finish his sentence, Fei Luo set down his wine cup and looked toward the direction of Justice Manor.

Over there, several black shadows were rushing toward the manor.

"Such dense corpse aura. Has the mastermind behind this finally made a move?" Fei Luo's Dharma eyes opened wide, and he whispered as he watched the commotion inside Justice Manor.
