Under One Person, Golden Light Transforms into God

The old man with the white zombie stared wide-eyed, as if he had witnessed something utterly terrifying. There were still faint traces of blood in his seven orifices, and his whole body was as withered as a piece of dead wood.

Lin Zheng stared into those eyes, a complex mix of emotions washing over him. He could hardly believe that the old man with the white zombie had died so easily.

Liu Ping felt relieved. With the death of the White Zombie Elder, both the Liu family and the Corpse-Driving Clan had gotten rid of a major threat.

Black Pipe asked in confusion, "All the blood on his body was drained. Was it done by that demon zombie? But why are there no teeth marks on him?"

The old man's death was a mixture of misery and horror, but the cause of death puzzled him.

Liu Ping and Lin Zheng exchanged a glance and patiently explained to this layman's statement: "You don't know this, but when demon zombies suck blood, they don't need to bite or even have direct physical contact."

Pointing at the old man's head, he said, "These extremely ferocious monsters, the Demonic Zombies, use evil power to draw blood directly from a person's seven orifices. If one's cultivation is insufficient, they will instantly become a dried-up corpse!"

Upon hearing this, Hei Guan'er couldn't help but chuckle dryly, a chill creeping into his heart.

This method of bloodsucking is rather bizarre.

And what constitutes insufficient cultivation?

What, then, is the cultivation of skill and ability?
Based solely on its bizarre blood-sucking ability, Hei Guan'er suddenly understood why the demonic zombies were the calamity of the corpse-driving lineage.

Lin Zheng and Liu Ping also sighed with regret.

Besides its unparalleled earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magical escape technique) ability, the ability to suck blood from the seven orifices from a distance is also a terrifying and vividly described aspect of the demonic zombie.

If such a monster were to break into a group of disciples with weak cultivation, it would turn the place into a living hell in the blink of an eye!

Lin Zheng sighed, "Bloodsucking is one of the instincts of zombies. The corpse demons recorded in myths can even drain a person's blood from their pores!"

A chill ran down the spine of the clarinet-wielder.

Ma Youcai and Liu Yanyan also felt a chill run down their spines.

The demonic zombie, capable of sucking blood from its seven orifices from a distance, is already an extremely ferocious and evil monster.

Sucking blood from pores is simply unbelievable; what kind of demon would that be?
As the group grew alarmed, Zhang Huaidan walked to a spot, and Lin Zheng whispered, "Has the Master discovered anything?"

Zhang Huaidan said, "There's something hidden down there."

Lin Zheng dared not delay and directed Ma Youcai to dig. After two or three shovelfuls, they indeed hit a hard object. When they took it out, it turned out to be a ceramic jar the size of a human head.

Upon opening the seal, an extremely foul, bloody stench wafted out.

Black Pipe frowned: "It's human blood."

Ma Youcai said with a mournful face, "Master, the Corpse-Suppressing Compass."

Lin Zheng's eyes widened, and his heart began to pound uncontrollably. The Corpse-Suppressing Compass was a treasured heirloom of the Corpse-Driving lineage. Now that it had been lost and found again, there was nothing that could make him happier. He quickly took the porcelain jar and looked at the Corpse-Suppressing Compass floating in the black and red human blood. He was on the verge of tears again.

Liu Ping also noticed this and patted him on the shoulder, comforting him: "Senior Brother Lin Zheng, it's not easy to get it back after losing it. With your talent, you can be used again after a few years of nurturing."

But he also knew in his heart that this jar of human blood was not just ordinary human blood, but the blood of a woman's menstrual blood.

Before the old man with the white zombie died, he probably wanted to defile the corpse-suppressing compass and turn it into an evil magic weapon.

Although it is not completely filthy at this point, it is already quite serious.

Even if Ma Youcai spared no expense with his pure Yang blood and nurtured it for several years, it would not regain its original power and would no longer be qualified as a treasured heirloom of the Corpse-Driving lineage.

"I understand that it's already lucky to have it back."

Lin Zheng felt a pang of heartache and carefully retrieved the compass, wiping it clean.

Looking at the mottled compass, it's impossible to use it until it's purified.

He sighed inwardly. Having the compass in hand would have given him a better chance of dealing with the demonic zombies.

Overwhelmed with emotion, he finally bowed respectfully: "The annihilation of the White Zombie Elder and the retrieval of the Corpse-Suppressing Compass are thanks to your kindness, Master Lin Zheng will forever remember it."

Liu Ping and the two of them quickly bowed as well.

Zhang Huaidan said, "No need for formalities, it's just a small favor."

Looking at the smiling young man, Liu Yanyan felt a lump in her throat. No matter how you looked at him, he seemed so unapproachable.

Ma Youcai lowered his head in dismay, forced to admit that he and this young man were incomparable.

Lin Zheng handed the filthy corpse-suppressing compass to Ma Youcai and whispered, "Youcai, you must keep this compass close to your body. With your bloodline, you can nourish it day and night, and one day you will be able to make the compass shine again."

Ma Youcai solemnly accepted it. Now he understood that he was the last descendant of the Ma family, the exorcist family.

He inherited the direct bloodline of the exorcist Ma family, which is pure yang blood, naturally restraining some yin entities.

His blood will undoubtedly play a crucial role in this pursuit of the demonic zombie.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but tremble. He glanced at Zhang Huaidan without leaving a trace. His master Lin Zheng's words were still ringing in his ears, but he was unwilling to believe them.

If they are truly related by blood, why is there such a huge difference between them?

They're practically not the same species.

Ma Youcai was filled with mixed feelings. He glanced at Liu Yanyan, who seemed both disappointed and hopeful, and gritted his teeth!
In this pursuit of the demonic zombie, he will surely achieve results no less than, and perhaps even better than, those of Master Huai Dan!

Ma Youcai grabbed the Corpse-Suppressing Compass with one hand, and brought the other hand to his mouth, biting his middle finger until blood flowed out and dripped onto the black and red Corpse-Suppressing Compass.

Lin Zheng was slightly surprised: "Talented? Stop!"

The blood from the middle finger has extremely strong yang energy, second only to the hot blood from the tip of the tongue.

The Corpse-Suppressing Compass was heavily tainted, and even if it were irrigated with pure yang blood, it would be impossible to use it for a short period of time.

If they really encounter a demonic zombie, Ma Youcai's bloodline will have other great uses, so why waste it here?
Ma Youcai ignored him and instead forced his middle finger, causing more blood to flow out: "Master, Uncle Liu Ping, True Man Huai Dan, if we really face the Demon Zombie, the Corpse-Suppressing Compass will undoubtedly increase our chances of winning!"

Ma Youcai, looking completely reckless, declared: "What's a little bloodshed? I don't care!"

As the pure yang blood was poured on it, the black and red color on the Corpse Suppression Compass was slowly fading away. Seeing this, Lin Zheng hesitated to speak.

If Ma Youcai spares no expense, he can indeed quickly cleanse the corpse-suppressing compass of its defilement, but that would certainly damage Ma Youcai's foundation.

If given the choice, one can proceed gradually.

However, with the risk of confronting the demonic zombies, where would we find the time?

Even a fraction of the recovery of the Corpse-Suppressing Compass is an extremely important asset.

You know, often, many things are just a matter of a tiny difference.

Lin Zheng's eyes flickered, his heart filled with hesitation.

As Ma Youcai made up his mind, pure yang blood flowed continuously from the small wound on his middle finger, slowly dispelling the filth that had been tainted by the Corpse-Suppressing Compass.

Seeing that his face was showing signs of paleness, Liu Ping couldn't help but want to speak, but seeing Lin Zheng hesitate, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The demon within the corpse is a calamity for the corpse-driving lineage. What ordinary zombies fear has no effect on the demonic zombie.

Ma Youcai possesses pure Yang blood, yet he can still exert a certain degree of restraint on demonic zombies.

From a tactical perspective, every drop of his blood is precious and cannot be wasted.

However, the Corpse-Suppressing Compass is a treasured heirloom of the Corpse-Driving lineage. If it can be quickly purified of its filth and is controlled by Lin Zheng, even if only one or two parts of it is restored, it will surely unleash tremendous power.

Balancing the two is truly a difficult problem.

Regardless, glancing at Ma Youcai, who was single-mindedly focused on expelling the blood from his body, Liu Ping sensed his determination and felt a pang of admiration.

Liu Yanyan said softly, "Youcai, stop now, you'll lose too much blood like this."

Ma Youcai's heart skipped a beat. Had Yan Yan finally taken her gaze away from Master Huai Dan?

Ma Youcai gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "It doesn't matter. As long as the Corpse-Suppressing Compass can be restored, what does it matter if a little more blood is shed?"

When the middle finger was pressed again, blood flowed out like a tap.

Staring at the corpse-suppressing compass, Ma Youcai's mind went blank for a moment. At this moment, he couldn't even tell why he was doing this.

Perhaps it was to restore the recovered Corpse-Suppressing Compass as soon as possible, perhaps it was to give the group a greater chance of dealing with the demonic zombies, perhaps it was to make Liu Yanyan take him seriously, or perhaps it was because he still couldn't accept defeat towards that man!

Ma Youcai couldn't figure out the specific reason for a while; it might be a combination of all of them.

All these reasons have been forged into an unwavering belief: that the Corpse-Suppressing Compass must be restored at all costs!
Looking at his profile, Liu Yanyan noticed a hint of charm reminiscent of Master Huaidan, which made her take notice.

However, Ma Youcai no longer cared at this point.

In his eyes and heart, there was only one thing: purifying the Corpse-Suppressing Compass!

suddenly!

My hands are empty!
Ma Youcai's eyes widened as his master, Lin Zheng, had taken away the Corpse-Suppressing Compass.

Lin Zheng said softly, "That's enough, that's more than enough."

The corpse-suppressing compass returned to its original color, with only a small area of ​​filth stubbornly remaining.

Lin Zheng activated his true qi, and with Ma Youcai's pure yang blood flowing freely, the Corpse-Suppressing Compass was able to unleash some of its power.

If this continued, it would damage Ma Youcai's foundation, which is why Lin Zheng stopped it in time.

"That's good."

Upon hearing this, Ma Youcai's pale face broke into a relieved smile.

Another wave of dizziness struck, and the loss of a large amount of blood made his limbs feel weak. He stood still with his strong willpower.

Liu Ping praised, "Talented, like a real man!"

Liu Yanyan also said softly, "You've worked hard, Brother Cai. Sit down and rest for a while."

Black Pipe shook his head: "You little brat, aren't you afraid of dying?"

The aura that Ma Youcai had just exuded gave Hei Guan'er a sense of déjà vu; it was the kind of aura that truly indicated a willingness to sacrifice everything to achieve something.

He glanced at Ma Youcai and looked at him with newfound respect.

Ma Youcai had mixed feelings. At first, he didn't think too much about it; he was just a little unwilling to admit defeat and wanted to show off in front of Liu Yanyan.

Take a deep breath and sit down slowly.

Liu Yanyan was surprised. In an instant, Youcai seemed to have matured a lot, as if he had found himself again.

Seeing that Ma Youcai had only lost too much blood and was not seriously injured, Lin Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. He then smiled and said to Zhang Huaidan, "Master, the Corpse-Suppressing Compass can be used. If we really catch up with the Demon Zombie, our chances of winning will increase by at least half a percent!"

Liu Ping's expression relaxed, and he nodded repeatedly.

Zhang Huaidan was somewhat curious: "Does this compass really have such a great effect?"

Based on Ma Youcai's act of watering it with blood, and considering the actions of Lin Zheng and others, we can conclude that this thing is not simple.

Lin Zheng explained, "Master, you may not know this, but this Corpse-Suppressing Compass is the most precious treasure passed down through my Corpse-Driving lineage. It is forged from copper essence that is constantly bathed in sunlight atop the mountain. It is an extremely yang and strong object, and it is most effective at suppressing evil spirits and zombies!"

Liu Ping also sighed, "More than a hundred years ago, the demon zombie appeared in the world. First, the Ma family, who exorcised demons, had their pure yang blood drained. Second, the Lin family ancestor held the Corpse-Suppressing Compass. Thus, the demon zombie was forced to surrender."

Although things are not the same as before, we have gathered the direct lineage of the Ma family and the Corpse-Suppressing Compass. With the help of Master Huai Dan, we will surely be able to successfully subdue the demonic corpse!

"Oh?"

Zhang Huaidan was slightly surprised: "May I take a look?"

Lin Zheng would never refuse and immediately handed the Corpse-Suppressing Compass to him.

Upon first touch, Zhang Huaidan sensed that it was indeed a masculine object, but it appeared quite weak.

It also contains a small amount of malevolent energy, like a stubborn disease that is difficult to eradicate.

Zhang Huaidan nodded slightly: "This item can indeed suppress evil spirits, but it's a pity it's damaged. I'll try to see if I can restore it."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.

Liu Ping's heart pounded like a drum, and he inexplicably thought of Lin Zheng's previous words.

It's simply unbelievable that Master Huaidan could turn the white zombie into blood.

Even with superior cultivation, the best one could do was extinguish the Yin energy within the white zombie's body and turn it into blood—that was pure fantasy.

Could it be that the pure Yang bloodline is playing a role in this?
Could it be that Master Huai Dan is truly a descendant of the Ma family who exorcised demons back then?
"A real person, no!"

Lin Zheng was shocked: "Although the Corpse-Suppressing Compass is the most precious treasure of my Corpse-Driving lineage, how can it make a real person bleed?"

Zhang Huaidan actually spared no expense, using his pure Yang blood to help him purify the Corpse-Suppressing Compass. This was something Lin Zheng had never even considered!
In his mind, he had long regarded Zhang Huaidan as the bloodline of the exorcist Ma family that had been lost to the outside world, only that their statuses had been completely reversed.

Lin Zheng was well aware that he would never have the chance to be recognized as a member of his family in this lifetime.

Lin Zhengzhen finds it hard to accept Zhang Huaidan's current plan to purify the compass with pure Yang blood.

It's not for any other reason than that this kindness is too great!
Zhang Huaidan helped him retrieve the Corpse-Suppressing Compass and also helped the Corpse-Driving Clan eliminate the Demon Zombie. He owes him such a great debt of gratitude that he can never repay it in this lifetime. How can he be allowed to shed blood?
"Real person?"

Seeing his calm expression, Black Pipe was taken aback.

Master Huai Dan, do you really intend to do the same as Ma Youcai and irrigate this compass with your own blood?

Zhang Huaidan looked around at everyone and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Who said I needed to water it with blood?" (End of Chapter)
