Chapter 18: One move away, the Corpse King is coming [Happy New Year to all Taoist friends]

"Not going back to Luoxia?"

Zhang Da was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand what Zhang Wei meant, and said to himself: "Oh, that's right, Mr. Li's family has moved to Luyang City, and there are no people of ours in Luoxia City, so we can just go back to our hometown."

However, his fantasy was ruthlessly broken by Zhang Wei, who shook his head and said, "No, I mean go back! Go back to the village!"

"Ah? Going back? But..."

Zhang Da was dumbfounded. His big eyes revealed full of confusion. He had no idea what Master Zhang Er was thinking.

You just said you were leaving, but you want to go back as soon as we leave the camp gate?
"Do as I say!"

Zhang Wei said seriously: "I suspect Luoxia City will be very dangerous tonight. It will be safer to stay in the village."

Zhang Da opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he chose to believe Zhang Wei.

After all, he is the master, not to mention that Zhang Wei’s martial arts are now better than his own, so he can only obey Master Zhang Er.

"Yes."

Zhang Da obediently turned the car around and drove back to the camp, shocking all the martial artists and independent practitioners who had not yet had time to leave.

What the hell are you doing, driving out in the middle of the night just to walk around the campground?
However, Zhang Wei ignored everyone's looks as if he was a fool. All he could think about was what Zhang Da had just said.

The mountain temple where he took shelter from the rain was at least a hundred miles away from here, but Zhang Da actually saw the tomb robber transformed into a corpse slave here!

The corpse chaos mainly occurred in the area on the west foothills of Luoxia Mountain, but there was rarely any noise in the east foothills where the mountain temple was located.

At first glance, one would subconsciously think that the location of the Corpse King's Tomb is at the western foot of the mountain.

But once you think about the tomb robber who turned into a corpse slave, it becomes extremely terrifying.

Excluding the possibility that this group of tomb robbers were stupid and ignored the main road, preferring to take a detour and climb hundreds of miles of mountain roads to find an ancient tomb hidden in the mountains, Zhang Wei couldn't help but think of a horrible result.

The Corpse King's base camp was actually not in the West Mountain but in the East Mountain! The corpse beasts and corpse slaves gathered at the foot of the West Mountain were just a smokescreen he had released to confuse the Wang family and the immortal cultivators who might come to help!

And its real purpose is probably the one closest to his lair...

Luoxia City!
Zhang Wei got out of the car with a grim look on his face. The only thing that made him feel relieved now was that his cousin Li Sheng and his family had moved out of Luoxia City early on. Even if something really happened in Luoxia City, his cousin Li Sheng would be safe.

But the hundreds of thousands of people in Luoxia City and the few passionate young men of the second generation he brought to Luoxia City...

After returning to the village, Zhang Wei stopped in front of the service point opened by Luoxia Wang’s family in the camp, gritted his teeth and walked in.

He said directly to the Wang family member who was working inside: "Daoyou, I have something important to report. Please inform your family's ancestor!"

Seeing Zhang Wei coming in, he thought that this was another member of the Wang family who wanted to use corpse beasts and slaves to make Wang family bleed, so he looked up with an unsightly expression. After hearing what Zhang Wei said, he showed a disdainful expression and sat lazily in his seat, cutting his nails.

"Ha, fellow Taoist, are you kidding? My ancestor is busy with all kinds of things, how could I possibly disturb his meditation?"

This Wang family disciple was not very capable, having only reached the initial stage of Qi Refining. However, his attitude was very arrogant, and he did not take Zhang Wei, who was in the middle stage of Qi Refining, seriously at all.

But Zhang Wei was in no mood to care about the other party's disrespect, and said directly: "The Corpse King's Tomb is most likely not in the West Mountain, but in the East Mountain.

I saw an old friend among the heads of the slave corpses I harvested two days ago. He has been active near Luoxia City and has never been to Xishan!

This shows that these corpse slaves did not appear in the West Mountain at the beginning, but were brought from the East Mountain by the Corpse King!
Now that the Blood Maple Treasure Boat has entered the mountain to suppress the monster, it is very likely that the Corpse King has set up a trap to lure the tiger away from the mountain! Please notify the noble ancestors to be more cautious! "

However, the Wang family member waved his hand and said something in a nonchalant tone that made Zhang Wei feel like he had seen something familiar before.

"Got it, go back, I'll let you know if there's any news."

The corner of Zhang Wei's eyes twitched, and he wanted to grab the collar of this Wang family member and make him listen to him carefully, but in the end he just sighed, turned around and left.

Looking at the dark night outside and the shadowy mountains and forests, Zhang Wei thought, "I hope my guess is wrong."

He had tried his best, and he could not think of a better solution than to notify the Luoxia royal family.

After all, he is only in the middle stage of Qi Refining and is unable to face the Corpse King. He can only place his hopes on the Wang family's ancestor and the Blood Maple Valley.

However, judging from the attitude of that Wang family member, his words would hardly reach the ears of the Wang family ancestor. As for the fate of hundreds of thousands of people in Luoxia City, it all depends on God's will.

"Alas...the power..." Zhang Wei sighed, and his figure gradually merged into the darkness.

On the other side, the Blood Maple Treasure Boat also followed the guidance of the Wang family ancestor and came to a canyon where the Corpse King was likely hiding.

The ancestor of the Wang family pointed to the valley and said, "Daoyou, according to the exploration we have done in the past few days, we found that there are the most corpses and slaves here. That evil beast is likely hiding among them."

After saying that, Zhao Tiejiu strode to the side of the boat. His eyes instantly turned red, and a thick blood-red flame burst out of his pupils.

Then Zhao Tiejiu sneered and pointed to a cliff in the valley and said, "Over there! I smell the stench of that beast's corpse."

"It's hidden on the cliff. No wonder it's so hard to find." A member of the Wang family said in surprise.

Then the ancestor of the Wang family flew out of the Blood Maple Treasure Boat, stood in the air and said, "If that's the case, then I'll throw out some ideas to inspire others!"

After saying that, the Wang family ancestor stretched out his hand and in an instant, thousands of flaming meteors gathered around him, turning half of the sky into a fiery red.

"go with!"

The Wang family ancestor gave a low shout, and thousands of flaming meteors poured down like a rain curtain, forming a saturation bombardment on the valley from the outside to the inside!

Boom boom boom————

Deafening roars rang out, and in an instant the entire valley was shrouded in smoke. The continuous explosions even caused tinnitus in the ears of the Blood Maple Valley disciples and Wang family members on the treasure boat.

"This is the foundation building. Just a spell cast casually possesses such power." Liang Junqiu on the boat exclaimed.

No wonder even the emperor who controls a country has to treat a master of foundation building as an honored guest, and that he can establish a family and secretly split a county to become the king behind the scenes.

At this time, the debris and dust produced by the explosion gradually filled the entire valley. Then, several soul-stirring roars were heard from the smoke.

"Roar----"

Several figures in armor rushed out from the smoke and rushed towards the Wang ancestor in the sky like cannonballs.

The Wang family ancestor's eyes flashed, he stretched out his hand and swung it, several milky white streams of light flew out from his wide sleeves and collided violently with the corpse that was rushing over.

clang clang clang———

As if the sound of metal colliding was heard, the rushing corpses flew backwards at a faster speed and fell heavily to the ground.

But soon these corpses crawled up from the ground. Although the armor on their chests was cracked, they survived.

And the milky white light also returned to the side of the Wang ancestor, revealing its true form, which was actually five milky white gems.

The second-level magic weapon, Baiquan Jade.

"What a beast."

Seeing that his attack did not kill the corpse general directly, the Wang family ancestor gave him a lukewarm compliment.

These bronze-armored corpses not only have the cultivation base of the late stage of Qi Refining, but also have bronze skin and iron bones comparable to those of the Foundation Establishment Dharma Body.

Ordinary cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining were no match for them at all, so much so that the seventh son of the Wang family ancestor was bewitched by these corpse generals and died.

But for the real foundation building, it is still not good enough!

On the contrary, since these corpses are here, it means they have found the right one!

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, I'll leave the Corpse King in your care."

The ancestor of the Wang family shouted to the Blood Maple Treasure Boat, "Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, follow me to finish off these beasts!"

"Yes!"

Swish swish————

The four most powerful second-generation Wang disciples descended with their magic weapons and killed the other corpse beasts and slaves in the valley, while the Wang ancestor personally dealt with the corpse generals.

All of a sudden, all kinds of dazzling spells broke out in the small valley.

But the disciples of the Blood Maple Valley sneered, "Humph, you asked us to deal with the Corpse King, but you picked up a few Corpse Generals to kill time. It seems that you want to take advantage of the conflict between the two."

“But he miscalculated one thing. He miscalculated the strength of my Blood Maple Valley!” another person laughed with a bloodthirsty smile.

Then Zhao Tiejiu was seen walking up to the bow of the Blood Maple Treasure Boat and looking coldly at the fierce battle in the valley below.

Then he relaxed his whole body, jumped off the treasure boat in a free fall, and fell straight towards the valley!

boom---

It seemed as if a bolt of thunder exploded in the sky, attracting the attention of the Wang family members and the corpse generals in the valley.

Zhao Tiejiu's body quickly expanded to more than ten feet away, blood-red tiger-like stripes began to appear on his body, and a pair of sharp horns like buffalo horns emerged from his head!

At this moment, Zhao Tiejiu seemed to show his true form. He seemed not to be a human being, but a legendary monster!

boom---

The monster fell to the ground, splashing a cloud of dust, and directly smashed to death a corpse beast in the late stage of Qi Refining.

"Roar!!!!"

A roar like that of a lion or tiger sounded from Zhao Tiejiu's throat, and the materialized sound waves directly dispersed the dust in front of him.

Then he took a big step forward and flew out like a cannonball, crashing into a corpse general who was unable to dodge.

With a snap, the corpse, which was comparable to a foundation-building body, was instantly covered with countless cracks. Then it was knocked back by Zhao Tiejiu and embedded into the cliff of the valley like a statue.

Then Zhao Tiejiu roared, the muscles on his arms bulged, and red blood flames coiled up from his wrists, and then.

Zhao Tiejiu extended his iron fist, and the blood flame turned into a blood-red tiger that roared and rushed out, directly crashing into the cliff.

boom!
A roar even more violent than the previous attack by the Wang ancestor was heard, and the entire cliff wall was cracked with hideous cracks.

When the smoke cleared, only a fist mark with a diameter of more than five meters was revealed on the cliff wall, and the corpse had turned into a pile of minced meat mixed with the rubble. At the same time, Zhao Tiejiu's fist force directly punched a hole in the entrance to the Corpse King's Tomb.

"Is this the way of the demon warriors of the Blood Maple Valley? It is indeed fierce after seeing it today!" The Wang family ancestor's eyelids trembled after seeing Zhao Tiejiu's divine power. "Let's go too!"

"Let this Wang family see the strength of my Blood Maple Valley!"

Seeing Zhao Tiejiu's great power, the disciples of the Blood Maple Valley seemed to be excited. They rushed to jump off the boat, completely ignoring the height of hundreds of meters.

"Junqiu, wait for me here." Chang Hongzhuang instructed Liang Junqiu, and then she jumped down with the main group.

Empty, empty, empty——

A series of explosions sounded, and when the disciples of the Blood Maple Valley landed, all of them changed their appearance greatly, becoming the same as Zhao Tiejiu, only smaller in size.

But such a group of little monsters standing at the entrance of the valley are more terrifying than the corpse beasts and corpse slaves in the valley!
"kill!!!!"

Chang Hongzhuang roared, then rushed out first and tore a beast corpse apart with her bare hands.

The others were not to be outdone and rushed into the valley like sharp knives.

Although they were only a team of a dozen people, they gave them the feeling of being an army of thousands.

Zhao Tiejiu leaped into the entrance of the ancient tomb, looked coldly at the huge bronze door in front of him, and kicked it out.

boom!
The bronze door sank inwards, then slowly fell down, splashing up a cloud of dust. Zhao Tiejiu strode into the ancient tomb.

On the other side, the independent cultivators who were trekking through the mountains and forests and clearing out the corpses of slaves and beasts along the way also heard the noise coming from the direction of the valley, and they immediately became alert.

"There! They've found the tomb!"

"Go quickly! Don't let those people from the Wang family and the Blood Maple Valley take away all the good stuff!"

"Come on!"

……

A quarter of an hour later, the Wang family ancestor, who had eliminated the last corpse general, looked towards the direction of the ancient tomb impatiently, but the strange thing was that after so much time had passed, no movement was heard from the ancient tomb.

After all, he is a corpse king in the foundation-building stage. It is impossible for him to be killed so easily by Zhao Tiejiu, right?
After thinking about it, the ancestor of the Wang family decided to go into the ancient tomb to take a look.

After all, he had contributed. Even if the essence of heaven and earth did not belong to his Wang family, he had to get some of the wealth in the ancient tomb to replenish the family's blood.

Seeing him walk into the ancient tomb, other disciples of the Blood Maple Valley and the Wang family followed.

Passing through the bronze door and entering the tomb chamber, what caught my eye was not the mountains of treasure, but the ground that had been scraped three feet deep.

Well, in the physical sense, the ground was scraped three feet deep. All the floor tiles in the tomb were lifted up, and the soil underneath was turned over.

There were all kinds of funerary objects scattered on the ground. Unfortunately, they were all ordinary stuff. If they were in the mortal world, they might be sold as antiques for some silver, but for people like them, it was not as real as gold and silver.

No way, so cruel?
Everyone, including the Wang family's ancestor, was shocked by Zhao Tiejiu's integrity. Then they scattered and looked for their target.

No no no…

All the tombs were empty, and not a single valuable item was left after the ground was scraped clean! This made the people in the Blood Maple Valley feel embarrassed.

Senior Brother Zhao, this is too shameless.

"Where is Zhao Tiejiu?"

The Wang family ancestor had a very unhappy expression on his face, but fortunately they finally found Zhao Tiejiu who was using the soil-turning technique to pry the floor tiles in front of the innermost tomb chamber.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao..."

The Wang family ancestor suppressed his anger and asked, "Fellow Daoist Zhao, why are you..."

Zhao Tiejiu stopped and said in a muffled voice: "I didn't find the corpse king."

The Wang family patriarch choked, his face became a little stiff, and then he asked in disbelief, "Where is the spiritual essence of heaven and earth?"

Zhao Tiejiu shook his head and said, "Of course I didn't find it either."

The Wang family ancestor's expression turned a little ugly, and he frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhao, are you joking?"

"Believe it or not, I searched the ground here and found nothing. This is an empty tomb."

Zhao Tiejiu shrugged his shoulders, and his look of disdain for further explanation made Wang very angry.

Obviously, he didn't believe Zhao Tiejiu's explanation. He believed even more that Zhao Tiejiu was a Pixiu and didn't leave them anything.

Greedy, so greedy!
The ancestor of the Wang family gritted his teeth and said, "Daoyou, you, Blood Maple Valley, are you too overbearing?"

A disciple from the Blood Maple Valley shouted, "What did you say, old man?"

Seeing that the disciples of the Blood Maple Valley did not give him, who was building his foundation, face, the Wang family ancestor also became angry.

Do you really think I'm afraid of you? You're just a little Qi Refiner. Even if you're from the Blood Maple Valley, you can't be rude to me!
Don’t take my tolerance towards you as a basis for arrogance!
The pressure from the foundation-building stage was released without mercy, pressing down like a heavy mountain towards the Blood Maple Valley disciple who had spoken rudely to him.

But before he reached the disciple, Zhao Tiejiu waved his hand and dispersed the pressure from the Wang ancestor.

Then he took the initiative to apologize to the ancestor of the Wang family and said, "My junior brother is young and ignorant, please don't blame me, fellow Daoist Wang. Tie Jiu apologizes to you on behalf of my junior brother."

"Senior Brother." The Blood Maple Valley disciple was still a little unconvinced, but Zhao Tiejiu glared at him fiercely.

"Shut up! I think you bastards have been spoiled in the valley and have lost your dignity. I'll deal with you later!"

All the Blood Maple Valley disciples immediately shut up and remained silent.

Then Zhao Tiejiu said to the Wang family ancestor: "I am not lying, and I don't want to lie. I just didn't find anything. At least that's the case for now."

"Humph!"

The Wang family ancestor snorted coldly, as if he was still angry. Seeing this, Zhao Tiejiu softened his attitude and said, "This is the last tomb chamber. Fellow Daoist Wang, let's work together to see if we can find anything."

Upon seeing this, the Wang family ancestor did not argue anymore, but waited until Zhao Tiejiu opened the door of the tomb before walking in.

There was nothing special about the tomb chamber. There was just a black wooden coffin in the middle and pieces of dusty colored porcelain placed around the chamber.

Combining the specifications of the ancient tombs previously explored, they concluded that this was the tomb of a high-ranking official of a secular dynasty.

At this time, the coffin lid of the wooden coffin was opened, and the corpse inside disappeared.

There was only a jade-carved dagger and a set of gold-thread jade clothes inside.

When Wang's ancestor saw the short sword, his eyes lit up.

"magic weapon?!"

However, after taking the jade sword out of the coffin, the Wang family ancestor was disappointed again and said, "It's a pity that time has passed quickly. It has been left in this dark place without any care. Most of its spirituality has been lost."

Magical weapons also need to be maintained, otherwise they will lose their spirituality and slowly become ordinary objects, or even decay. After all, no matter how powerful a being is, it cannot withstand the erosion of time unless it is transcendent.

At this time, the spiritual power of this second-level jade sword has been mostly exhausted. Strictly speaking, it can no longer be considered a second-level magic weapon, but it is still stronger than an ordinary first-level magic weapon.

The Wang family ancestor looked at Zhao Tiejiu, but Zhao Tiejiu didn't look at him. His eyes were fixed on the coffin, as if he was not interested in the jade sword at all.

The Wang ancestor smiled slightly upon seeing this, and threw the jade sword to his child amid the depressed gazes of the Blood Maple Valley disciples.

Then Zhao Tiejiu put the golden jade clothes aside and gently knocked on the bottom of the coffin, which immediately made a strange sound.

"Empty?" The Wang family ancestor said in surprise: "It seems that the real tomb is inside, and the tomb outside is the legendary fake tomb!"

Zhao Tiejiu said to the disciples of Blood Maple Valley, "You go out first. The Corpse King is likely hiding inside. When the fight starts, I won't have time to take care of you."

"Yes!"

The disciples of the Blood Maple Valley and the Wang family obediently left the tomb. When only the Wang family ancestor and Zhao Tiejiu were left in the tomb, the two looked at each other and nodded to each other.

Then the next moment, the two of them jumped up at the same time and launched their attacks on the coffin at the same time.

Boom boom——

Baiquanyu and the bloody tiger came out one after another, directly breaking through the entire tomb! Exposing a larger tomb below to the air.

A burst of spiritual energy came over them, and they were surprised to find that the bottom of the tomb was paved with spiritual stones. Although the quality was not high, a rough estimate was that it was worth about 2,000 taels.

And this is just one of the tombs!
"You bastard, get out of here!"

The Wang family ancestor roared, and the red flame in his hand surged, transforming into a giant flaming python that rushed into the corridor below the tomb and illuminated the way ahead.

However, when they saw the scene in the corridor, their faces suddenly changed. They saw that the corridor was full of khaki array patterns!

This is a magic circle!

A bad feeling came over them, and the two foundation-building cultivators subconsciously rushed out of the door, but the formation patterns in the tomb chamber behind them lit up at the same time.

Rumble————

The Blood Maple Valley disciples and Wang family members who had just returned to the Blood Maple Treasure Boat were horrified to find that the valley below suddenly began to shake.

Then the entire valley began to collapse inwards, and in the blink of an eye the entire valley was razed to the ground! The Wang family ancestor and Zhao Tiejiu were buried inside.

"Brother!"

"Father!"

On the other side, Luoxia City.

The soldier on night duty suddenly spotted a figure stumbling towards the city gate. He immediately shouted, "Stop, what are you doing?"

As soon as the words fell, the soldier was shocked to find that the figure that was originally staggering began to run in a strange posture. In the blink of an eye, it came to the bottom of the city wall and suddenly jumped up! It actually jumped directly over the height of the city gate!
Through the firelight, the soldiers were horrified to find that the figure was actually a highly decayed zombie face!

"Enemy attack!!!!!"

A scream resounded through the night sky of Luoxia City, and then quickly turned into a series of screams.
