You, a living person, are telling me I've served in the underworld for ten years?

Chapter 186 A Master from the Qingwei Sect!

The black mist, about the size of a child's fist, hovered in the air, emanating an evil, filthy, and repulsive aura!

"This...what is this?"

Huang Qiwa stared intently at the cloud of black mist, a hint of greed flashing in his eerie zombie eyes. The corpse poison and malevolent energy within him involuntarily erupted as he murmured, "What a peculiar feeling..."

His most primal bloodlust was stirred, and he couldn't resist the urge to go forward and devour that cloud of black mist!
Chen Yang flipped his hand and took out a talisman to ward off evil spirits. He slapped it onto Huang Qiwa's forehead, immobilizing him and suppressing the uncontrollable corpse poison and evil energy within his body.

"Xiao Wang!"

Chen Yang beckoned: "Come here!"

"I?"

Wang Lin pointed to himself in confusion. Seeing Chen Yang nod, he hesitated for a moment before walking over and cautiously asking, "Master Chen, is there anything I can help you with?"

Chen Yang raised his hand, cradling the ball of black mist in his palm, and said, "This is the heretical path I extracted from the blood of that zombie. I named it the [Zombie Heretical Path]. This is the origin of zombies. Would you like to refine it?"

"what?"

Wang Lin's face turned green: "Master Chen, if I refine this thing, I won't die, will I?"

If I refine this, won't I turn into a zombie?

brush!
Marin rushed forward, grabbed the cloud of black mist, and swallowed it whole.

He let out a burp, glared at Wang Lin, and cursed, "Master Chen is right in front of you, and you're still so timid... What are you afraid of? Even if something really happens and you die, do you think Master Chen will mistreat you?"

"........."

Wang Lin stared at Ma Lin with a look of utter disbelief.

Not bro...

Are you that brave?

That cloud of black mist was "extracted" from the blood of zombies!

I'm not afraid of dying, I'm afraid of getting dirty, bro!
Before the thought could even settle in his mind, his eyes twitched as he stared at Marin, and he involuntarily took a few steps back!
Lin Miao, Cao Zepan, and Wei Rufeng all looked at them with surprise.

"what?"

Marin: "Why are you all looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

He touched his face with his hand...

Cool and refreshing to the touch...

Your body temperature seems a bit abnormal?

Marin was shocked and quickly took out his phone to check his current situation with the front camera. However, before he could even turn on the camera, he let out a cry of pain!
He felt as if his blood was boiling!
My hand gripping the phone tightened involuntarily...

boom!
A brand new phone was crushed to pieces.

A series of crackling sounds erupted from Marin's body, and his figure began to grow... He was a Daoist cultivator, and his physical body was relatively weak, but at this moment his muscles were bulging and bursting out of his clothes!

Zheng!
Zheng!
Marin's hands grew sharp black fingernails!
Fangs sprouted from his mouth, and his skin turned ashen, making him look exactly like a zombie!

His cries of pain had turned into a low growl!
"Roar!"

Marin roared, "It hurts... Master Chen, what happened to me?"

Chen Yang took out his phone, took a picture, and then handed it over.

Marin's eyes widened in disbelief. "A...zombie?"

"I...I...I've turned into a zombie?"

"wrong!"

"Legend has it that zombies are bloodthirsty and mindless, but I don't feel that way at all. On the contrary, I feel... completely relaxed, as if I have inexhaustible energy!"

He slammed his fist into the ground!

boom!
The earth trembled and crashed into the ground, creating a crater!
Marin tried jumping again, leaping more than ten feet high. He asked Wang Lin to bring him a short sword and stabbed himself in the abdomen nine times in a row, causing black blood to splatter everywhere. But the bleeding stopped quickly, and the nine bloody holes were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

He not only turned into a zombie in appearance, but also gained the abilities of a zombie—immense strength and extremely strong self-healing ability!
This zombie was three meters tall, tall and robust. Most importantly, becoming a zombie greatly increased his strength, but it did not affect his mind!
Marin's heart stirred, and he controlled and calmed his blood, which seemed to be "burning." As the blood flow subsided, the more than three-meter-tall zombie body quickly returned to normal.

Then they controlled the blood...

They quickly turned into zombies!

He switched between his physical forms repeatedly, overjoyed, and exclaimed, "Master Chen, this is amazing... I can now transform into a zombie at will!"

Chen Yang had long anticipated the possibility that refining that "black cloud" might turn it into a zombie, but...

The ability to freely control and transform at will was something he hadn't anticipated.

"This cloud of black mist is something I extracted and separated from Huang Qiwa's blood. In a sense, I've tamed it, which is why it's changed like this now?"

Chen Yang carefully sensed and found that when Marin transformed into human form, he could hardly detect the "external" power within him.

That power seemed to lurk deep within his blood.

He then transformed Marin. In the transformed state, the power of the "Zombie Heretic" became extremely clear but extremely stable. Unless Marin deliberately spread it, he could bite people and suck their blood without spreading it.

Chen Yang laughed and said, "It seems that after refining the [Zombie Heretic], it can be used by us. We only need a wisp of black mist to create a zombie, which will greatly enhance our strength!"

"Moreover, this transformation is controllable, so there's no need to worry about it spreading!"

"Heretical sect, heretical sect..."

"It is both a disaster and a blessing. If used properly, it can be used to enhance one's strength."

Chen Yang looked at Huang Qiwa, peeled off the "evil-suppressing talisman" from its forehead, and said, "You should have seen what happened just now, but your body has been in a zombie state for too long. Even if I help you suppress the [heretical] forces hidden in your blood, this body will probably be difficult to recover!"

The key is……

Even if it's restored, it's useless!
Huang Qiwa's soul is not compatible with this body. His spirit is locked in the "zombie body", which means he has no chance of progressing in this life!
He was confident of reaching the Ghost Immortal realm before his death, and after experiencing this life-or-death situation, he has a deeper understanding of the "barrier between life and death." If his Yin spirit can break free from this zombie body, Huang Qiwa could become a Ghost Immortal at any time, as long as he recovers his divine soul power!

"Lord Yin, I beg you!!!"

Huang Qiwa didn't say it directly, but the meaning he conveyed was quite clear.

"it is good!"

Chen Yang said, "I will refine and separate all the [Zombie Heretic] in your blood. Whether your Yin Spirit can break free then will depend on your fate!"

"Thank you, Lord Yin!" *Pfft!*
Huang Qiwa plunged his fingernail into his own chest, causing black blood to splatter everywhere.

Chen Yang: What are you doing?

Huang Qiwa: "Bleed them out!"

"........."

Chen Yang said calmly, "The previous bloodletting was just an experiment; there's no need to go through that trouble now."

Huang Qiwa: "..."

Brother, why didn't you say so sooner!
Chen Yang began to extract the [Zombie Heretic] from Huang Qiwa's blood. Strands of black mist were removed by Chen Yang, and as more and more black mist was removed, Huang Qiwa's physical appearance began to change gradually!

finally……

His zombie body has completely transformed into the appearance of a normal person.

However, this body had been dead for too long, and the flesh and blood had become a dried corpse. Huang Qiwa's Yin spirit transformed into a mighty Yin wind that blew out from between the dried corpse's eyebrows and shot into the sky with a whoosh!

Immediately afterwards, his Yin spirit began to materialize, and in just a moment, it condensed into a thought the size of a grain of rice!

The realm of ghosts and immortals is complete!
As each thought coalesced, Huang Qiwa's thirty-three thoughts finally descended from the sky, manifesting upon landing as the appearance of a middle-aged Taoist priest. He clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your help, Lord Yin Shuai."

In Chen Yang's palm, he was playing with a black "sphere".

This "sphere" is about the size of a child's fist. It was formed by compressing the black mist extracted from Huang Qiwa's body, which was the "zombie heretic". In terms of "quantity", it is nine times larger than the black mist that Marin had previously refined!
Seeing Huang Qiwa bow, Chen Yang immediately put away the "black ball," waved his hand, and said, "You and I are practically fellow disciples, no need for such formalities."

"Oh?"

This time it was Huang Qiwa's turn to be surprised: "Lord Yin Shuai is also a disciple of my Qingwei Dao?"

Chen Yang handed over a "talisman to ward off evil spirits".

Although he had been suppressed twice before by the "Exorcising Talisman," Huang Qiwa hadn't paid attention. But now, after a careful examination, he suddenly realized, "This is a talisman drawn using the techniques of our Qingwei Dao..."

Although the talisman for warding off evil spirits is not a common item, it is mastered by various Taoist sects, although the techniques used to draw it differ.

"Does the Qingwei Dao still have its lineage in the Great Xia Dynasty?"

Huang Qiwa got excited... I'm actually a fellow disciple of Lord Yin Shuai!
"The Qingwei Daoist school of the Great Xia is weak and cannot compare with other major Daoist schools."

Chen Yang said, "I am different from you. You learned your skills from a master, while the Qingwei Yuanjiang Great Law that I cultivate is a family tradition... If we trace the origin, I can be considered half a disciple of the Qingwei Sect Master."

"Back then, when the Qingwei Sect Master came to the Northwest to suppress the evil spirits that were causing trouble, he left behind a book called the Qingwei Yuanjiang Great Method. This method has survived for over a thousand years and eventually fell into the hands of my grandfather."

"It's a pity that spiritual energy hadn't recovered yet, so it was impossible to cultivate... Later, my father tried to comprehend the [Qingwei Yuanjiang Great Method] for a while, but unfortunately he didn't gain anything."

He spoke in a mix of truth and fiction, rambling on and on: "Later, I obtained the [Qingwei Yuanjiang Great Method], and that's how I entered the sect. Some time ago, I accidentally discovered the ghost realm left behind by the Qingwei Sect Master, and I helped her get rid of the demons and evil spirits in that ghost realm, which can be considered as gaining her recognition."

The Master of Qingwei was the most senior disciple of the Qingwei Dao.

Chen Yang is now forcibly establishing a relationship with her, which instantly elevates their seniority. As for anyone pointing it out?

Who exposed it?
Wei Rufeng? Huang Qiwa? Or someone else?

Huang Qiwa was unaware that Chen Yang was a "modern person." He believed that since Chen Yang could hold the position of "Yin Shuai," he must be a very ancient master, and he did not doubt Chen Yang's statement.

Instead, they showed great respect to Chen Yang, calling him their grandmaster!
With the matter settled, Chen Yang activated the Five Elements Fire Technique, igniting a ball of ghost fire that burned the corpse Huang Qiwa had previously used to ashes.

Huang Qiwa was even more puzzled when he saw this scene.

Grandmaster Chen Yang...

The Taoist incantation used to perform the Five Elements Fire Technique was clearly a method of our "Qingwei School," so why was the fire that was produced green, like will-o'-the-wisp?
After burning the corpses, Chen Yang used his thoughts to cut off three portions of "zombie heretics" from the "black sphere," the same amount that Ma Lin had refined earlier, and gave them to Wang Lin, Cao Zepan, and Lin Miao.

“I have already refined and subdued these three heretical forces. You only need to swallow them, and this power will seep into your blood, allowing you to master the power of transformation, just like Marin.”

The three were overjoyed and accepted the gifts.

Wei Rufeng then said, "Aren't you going to thank Commander Chen?"

The three quickly thanked him, and Chen Yang smiled and said, "It was nothing, not worth mentioning. Besides, you have to deal with all sorts of supernatural cases. If the zombie transformation can make you stronger, then all my efforts will have been in vain!"

The three of them were refined in turn, and each of them transformed into a zombie.

After investigating, Chen Yang confirmed that their condition was just like Ma Lin's and very stable, and he was not worried at all about them "spreading the infection." Only then did he take Huang Qiwa back to Wucheng.

Yang Shuai, Gu Jinghui, and Wang Xuan went to Yincheng and did not return that night.

But when Huang Qiwa saw Cat Master wearing an apron and cooking in the kitchen, he was almost scared to death.

"Grandmaster Chen Yang, how did you train your cat? Has it already reached a point of great power? Is it about to transform into a demon?"

The cat, who was tossing the wok to stir-fry the vegetables, glared at them and meowed, "Where did this brat come from? You dog-like thing, don't you have eyes?"

Cat Lord threw down the iron pot, put his hands on his hips and said, "I am the one who was personally appointed by Lord Luo Feng, the Demon Subduer, to the Underworld and be granted the title of [Nine Netherworld Patrol Envoy] by Lord Cui... Why do you not kneel before me?"

Huang Qiwa's eyes widened in surprise!
Not only can the cat belonging to Master Chen Yang's grand-uncle cook, it can also speak human language... and yet it says it's not a demon?

Oh!
Is he the "Nine Netherworld Patrol Envoy" appointed by Grandmaster Chen Yang?
That’s okay!
"Master Cat, don't bully Seventh Brother."

Chen Yang introduced with a smile: "This Huang Qiwa is also a disciple of my Qingwei Sect. On the eve of his breakthrough to the Ghost Immortal realm, he happened to encounter Liu Bowen severing the dragon vein and cutting off the Great Dao and spiritual energy of heaven and earth. In order to prolong his life, he had no choice but to enter the body of a zombie to survive."

"He was dug out by seven treasure-hunting villagers."

"Oh?"

Cat Master looked Huang Qiwa up and down, and asked in surprise, "So... he's not a ghost?"

"This is his soul manifesting in a body, so it is naturally not a ghost."

soon.

The meal is served.

After finishing our meal, it got dark a little while later.

At that moment, Chen Yang received a call from Yang Shuai.

Chen Yang wanted to ask about the reason for Wang Xuan's upcoming matches today, but Yang Shuai shouted anxiously, "Old Chen...come to Yincheng quickly!"

"A few old bastards came and claimed that Wang Xuan was a disciple of their Qingwei Sect. They wanted to forcibly take Wang Xuan away!"
