Ghosts are categorized into minor ghosts and major ghosts, and zombies are classified into purple zombies, white zombies, black zombies, green zombies, hairy zombies, flying zombies, and so on.

The Yin creatures captured by Rong Tianding are formless and intangible, only able to manifest their form at night, in shadows, and in places heavy with Yin Qi, thus exerting their normal power.

Zombies are a kind of yin creature with a physical body. Ordinary purple zombies only know the ability to absorb corpse energy. They need to lure living beings close to them in order to devour their opponent's life force. These types of zombies are very weak.

As the zombies evolve, their strength will continue to increase.

Flying zombies can be considered the pinnacle of zombies. These zombies can fly by using corpse energy, and their bodies are as tough as copper and iron. Even top-tier cultivators would turn away when they see them.

Rong Tianding's eyes lit up, sensing that his chance to change his fate was about to arrive.

He was far too weak to subdue a flying zombie, but he had the Suihou Pearl protecting him.

Within Rong Tianding's knowledge, he had never encountered an inanimate object that Sui Houzhu could not control.

For Rong Tianding, who had been enlightened by Divine Ability powers to control the Yin creatures, this was like a martial artist seeing an unparalleled great sword.

Zombies have physical bodies that are inconvenient to carry, but their strength makes up for all their shortcomings.

Once the flying zombie is subdued, it's fine to keep it in Yangling; you can summon it whenever you want to use it.

"Arrest them! They absolutely must be arrested!"

After Rong Tianding methodically completed his breakthrough to the Divine Ability Realm, he explained the various techniques of Corpse-like beings and flying zombies. Zhang Xuezhou nodded repeatedly.

"Yangling is where the Empress Dowager will use it in the future; absolutely no outsiders will be allowed to cause trouble there," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Wait until I get the token... You actually took my Red Empyrean Sword? You've gone too far!"

Zhang Xuezhou's use of official jargon was a way of doing official business; it not only provided him with scapegoats but also helped him avoid future trouble.

When he saw the Red Empyrean Sword being picked up by that pale hand, he couldn't hold back and began to use his immense strength to push against the stone door.

With the activation of the Body Technique, the power he could utilize within his body greatly increased.

The heavy, sealed stone door creaked as it moved, making Rong Tianding's eyelids twitch.

A gap large enough for someone to squeeze through sideways was created, Rong Tianding quickly squeezed through the door with the Suihou Pearl in his hand.

Wherever Suihou Pearl went, it absorbed and transformed a great deal of evil Sha Qi, which also allowed Rong Tianding, who was using the spirit of the fox demon, to see this zombie.

This zombie is not an upright human figure, but rather a prone figure with its hands and feet touching the ground.

The rotting, foul-smelling mourning clothes made it difficult to discern the person's identity, and the blurred face made it impossible to identify them. However, the person was surrounded by the aura of death, and their smooth, jade-like skin occasionally flashed with a gray light, which meant that the person was the flying zombie that Rong Tianding had previously thought of.

"That's incredibly powerful!"

If it weren't for the Suihou Pearl absorbing the corpse's Sha Qi, causing the flying zombie to seem to have encountered its natural enemy, Rong Tianding had no doubt that the other party would have pounced on him in a flash, thus grabbing him and causing him to bleed from all five orifices to avoid being killed.

"What are you, a zombie, doing with a sword? Put it down right now!"

After Rong Tianding entered Yangling, Zhang Xuezhou followed him in.

He looked at the zombie lying on the ground, barely recognizable as human, and then at the pale right hand.

The physical body technique was still surging within him, and Zhang Xuezhou also cast Incantation Avoidance Formula to prevent his body from being tainted by the zombie curse.

Slowly extending his hand, Zhang Xuezhou approached the flying zombie step by step, preparing to pounce on it and then have Rong Tianding cast a spell to control it.

"Hey!"

After exhaling and making a sound, Zhang Xuezhou, who was not good at using techniques to fight head-on, finally charged to the front.

Like two fierce yaks, he and the flying zombie collided directly, followed by a close-quarters attack with both hands and feet.

The ear-piercing sound of sharp objects scraping glass continued, punctuated by the muffled sounds of Zhang Xuezhou's punches and kicks.

Zhang Xuezhou felt as if his fists and feet were hitting a drumhead, the highly elastic force constantly rebounding, while the smooth skin made it difficult for his hands to grip tightly.

After a fierce close-quarters battle, Zhang Xuezhou had only managed to tear his opponent's tattered and rotten clothes bare.

"Cousin, see if we can seize an opportunity. This thing is too slippery; I really can't hold onto it!"

Zhang Xuezhou is a professional at taking a beating, and his level of close-quarters combat is also quite good, but he can't compare to a master who specializes in martial arts.

Even though his body was impervious to the tearing of flying zombies and the entanglement of corpse Sha Qi, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't do anything to his opponent for the time being.

Unless the flying zombie runs out of energy, he might not be able to subdue the opponent through physical combat.

If it were an ancient tomb in the wild, that would be one thing, but the Yangling Mausoleum is a sacred place and not suitable for a noisy fight. Zhang Xuezhou clearly wanted to end everything as quickly as possible to avoid attracting the tomb guards, causing a stir in the investigation, and even finding out that he had tampered with the tomb door.

"You guys are too fast!"

Rong Tianding shouted.

In the time it took him to take a step forward, the sounds of intense combat reverberated at least ten times, and also shifted direction.

It wasn't that he hadn't given up the chase; rather, he had already chased it seven or eight times, but each time he failed to grasp the exact direction, making it difficult to cast spells on the flying zombie.

"Use the Suihou Pearl to absorb his corpse energy, and then use the direction of the absorbed energy to predict his movements. After a few tries, you should have a high probability of being able to pinpoint his hiding place in advance!"

I'll give it a try!

"This flying zombie's behavior pattern is very extreme; it's nothing more than forward, backward, up, down, up, forward, backward, forward, backward, and turning around, and the order of these movements is almost fixed!"

Zhang Xuezhou shouted repeatedly.

It's easy to say, but it's already rare for a magic practitioner to be able to predict the direction of a martial arts practitioner's attack.

If cultivators possessed such abilities, they wouldn't be killed in close combat by cultivators of the same or even lower realms.

Rong Tianding was no exception, especially since he lacked combat experience and preferred to hide in the back and secretly cast spells. Now that the intensity was high right from the start, how could he keep up with the pace in such a short time?

But everything revolves around Sui Houzhu, which was also the main factor that led him to decide to get involved.

If strength is insufficient, treasures can make up for it; a Suihou Pearl, which subdues countless evil spirits, is enough to suppress flying zombies.

As the Suihou Pearl continued to rotate and follow the movement, the rolling corpse Sha Qi was continuously purified by the Suihou Pearl. Rong Tianding felt that he had vaguely grasped the direction.

"The souls of the Yellow Springs are being summoned; all of you, return to your places!"

With his hands forming a spell, Rong Tianding bent down and pressed down, and a chilling, piercing pain immediately spread throughout his body.

Only when the Suihou Pearl in his left palm radiated warmth and his body felt warm did the deadly, bone-chilling sensation gradually subside.

"His corpse- Sha Qi is incredibly powerful!"

If it weren't for Sui Houzhu's help and Zhang Xuezhou's defense, Rong Tianding would have been killed in that instant.

But instead of being terrified of almost losing his life, Rong Tianding felt a sense of joy.

He pressed his right middle finger against the vital point at the throat of the flying zombie, and his gray-glowing Law Power surged downwards, aiming straight for the source of its life force.

The Corpse-Hair School's methods for controlling Yin entities are nothing special; they simply involve laying destructive measures at the life source of these Yin entities, thereby making these low-intelligence Yin entities obey commands due to life and death.

The strength of the methods used varies from sect to sect, but Rong Tianding felt that his current control was fine, since he had been enlightened with the power of commanding Divine Ability.

Although its cultivation level is still insufficient, causing some confusion and difficulty in obeying commands when controlled, the flying zombie's powerful strength is enough to make up for everything, and even using it occasionally has immeasurable value.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

A low roar came from a head whose features were almost indistinguishable. The flying zombie, which was struggling against Rong Tianding, was quickly restrained by Zhang Xuezhou, who pinned its hands behind its back and pressed its body firmly to the ground.

"I'll reward you with another Southern Fire!"

With his right hand he urged the Rong Tianding put down the Suihou Pearl with his left hand, and a flame appeared in his palm.

The flames were weak, but they Sha Qi and popped as if coated with oil, causing the howling, struggling flying zombie to retreat backward.

"Be good, and it won't hurt anymore!"

Rong Tianding chanted softly, his right hand releasing Law Power that continuously probed downwards and coiled around the target.

"You dare use my skills against me? Get out of my way!"

"You actually used my treasure against me! You deserve to die!"

When the entanglement continued and the source of the flying zombie's life force was finally revealed, Rong Tianding felt two voices almost simultaneously ringing in his mind, sharp roars filling his brain.

A flicker of terror crossed his eyes, followed by the sharp pain of his severed right hand that spread throughout his body.

"How could a flying zombie possibly use the Red Empyrean Sword!"

Zhang Xuezhou exclaimed in shock and quickly pulled Rong Tianding back.

Before the two could even turn out of the tomb, the contrasting auras of coldness and warmth erupted like a torrent, slamming them heavily against the massive stone door of the tomb passage.
