Master of the Xuanyin Sect of Mount Shu

Chapter 39 Zombie Uncle
Hua Yaosong had only calculated that the demon corpse would be born ahead of schedule and made some preparations in advance. She had no intention of actively charging in and fighting the demon corpse to the death.

Lu Rongbo had heard that a demonic corpse was about to be born and that a great battle was about to take place. She wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to avenge her father.

Both sides intended to wait, but Sanfeng and Dongxiu didn't take the demon corpse seriously. They had encountered immortals since childhood and had been cultivating the "Golden Chapter of the Earthly Palace" in seclusion at the bottom of the sea for more than four hundred years.

Because the former master of Ziyun Palace, Tianyi Jinmu, foresaw that their early departure would bring them calamity, she instructed them to wait until five hundred years later, when they had cultivated into Earth Immortals, before they could leave.

Although the three sisters did not strictly adhere to the rules, they rarely went out. They were very curious about the people and things outside. They had long heard from the wandering immortals overseas that the land was vast and rich in resources, and the people were outstanding. They wanted to kill the demon corpse as soon as possible so they could travel around.

Lu Rongbo recounted how much the Blissful Immortal and the Fairy of the Green Bag valued the demon corpse, and expressed her own concerns.

Sanfeng was displeased: "As the two seniors said, no matter how powerful that demon corpse was in life, it has now died once. How much of its former power can it still have? We have Master Lianshan's demon-subduing treasure in our hands, so what are we afraid of?"

Dongxiu also said, "Sister Lu, don't you want to avenge Uncle anymore? Uncle's soul is still in the hands of the demon corpse, how can you delay any longer?"

Sanfeng took out the Myriad Manifestations Light Ruler and waved it gently. Many colorful halos floated like soap bubbles under the sunlight. "Sister, you are too worried and follow the elders' advice. That's fine. Just tell us the location of the demon corpse, and the three of us will go and kill the demon corpse to save Uncle's primordial spirit for you, how about that?"

After hearing this, Lu Rongbo felt ashamed. Even outsiders were so concerned about her father's affairs, yet she hesitated. She really shouldn't have been like this.

So she left her son Shisheng in the cave to wait for her return, took all her magical treasures, and left Rabbit Cliff with Sanfeng, Dongxiu, and Erfeng to rush to Lingyu Cliff to kill the demon corpse.

Guan Minghui had anticipated that the four women would break in within the next two days.

But he had no choice; he had to fully cultivate his Golden Core before the actual battle, otherwise he wouldn't be able to deal with Hua Yaosong at full power.

To deal with three loose immortals and one earth immortal during cultivation, even though he was the worst earth immortal, was still quite a challenge, as he possessed two of the four treasures of the Lianshan Demon Refining Cultivation ...

Fortunately, over the past twenty years, he has created several ingenious methods based on his existing knowledge, which are now ready to be applied.

He first sent Ku Tie and the others back to their respective caves to cultivate, and sternly warned them that they were not allowed to come out until two days and nights later.

After the four returned to the cave, Guan Minghui sat cross-legged on the stone bed and first set up the Xuan Yin Refining Soul Array. A total of eighty-one divine banners fluttered, and thick black evil energy filled the cave.

Seeing this, the black dragon recalled the dream it had when it was captured. It became even more frightened and circled the stone bed more closely. It nuzzled Guan Minghui's arm with its nose and stared innocently upwards with its big, bright eyes, thinking to itself, "I haven't done anything wrong, and I haven't seen any enemies. Could it be that the immortal has changed his mind and wants me to take the banner again?"
Guan Minghui stroked his nose to comfort him and told him to lie down by the bed. Then he continued to cast the spell, and many green blood beads seeped from between his ten fingers. He then slashed them out and shot them into the surrounding black mist.

Within the malevolent aura, a beast spirit roared and came forward, swallowing the blood beads. Guan Minghui then unleashed his true energy, performing his modified Xuan Yin Three Corpse Divine Transformation Technique.

Once everything was arranged, the Xuan Yin Gathering Beast Banners disappeared, the Black Fiend vanished, and the stone bed was left empty.

Guan Minghui and the black dragon beside the bed also disappeared, and the entire cave returned to its empty state, falling into an eerie silence. Only at noon, the gale that crashed down from the top of the cliff kept blowing, and the wind grew stronger and stronger.

Sanfeng and the others rode the wind down on their swords until the sword light dispersed at the cave entrance, revealing four female immortals.

Facing the empty cave, Lu Rongbo's expression turned grave: "Something's not right! There's definitely an ambush here!"

"There was an ambush, but so what? Those are just child's play tricks; how could they fool us?" Sanfeng took out the Xuan Guang Ruler and brandished it. Master Lianshan was the senior uncle of Changmei Zhenren, one of the three elders of Emei in the past. He once made a grand vow to pave a celestial path for unorthodox sects, neglecting the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture of the Emei Sect and instead cultivating various evil magics, ultimately attracting heavenly and human tribulations, and being attacked by countless demons, all his efforts were in vain.

After his death, he sealed all the magical treasures he had used in his lifetime in a cave under the volcano on Moon Island. The six people from Ziyun Palace once followed the two elders of Songshan into the cave and retrieved many of the treasures.

The Lianshan Treasure Vault contains more than a dozen unorthodox magical treasures and four supreme treasures of the Xuanmen sect, known as the Four Treasures of Lianshan, which are specifically used to refine demons and slay evil.

The four treasures are: the Five Cloud Jade Tablet of Separation and Union, the Taiyi Qingning Fan, the Dragon and Sparrow Ring of Mother and Child, and the Myriad Manifestations Xuanguang Ruler.

What Sanfeng brought out today was the last of the Xuan Guang Rulers. With a gentle shake, countless colorful halos flew out, spinning continuously and swirling forward.

Wherever the light passed, plumes of black smoke suddenly erupted, condensing into various ferocious beasts such as mountain demons, wood demons, bears, and pythons, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced towards the four people.

Just as Lu Rongbo was about to release her flying sword, Sanfeng said with a hint of smugness, "No need for you to do anything, sister. Watch me break this evil spell!" She exhaled her essence, causing the ruler to fly out even more circles of light.

This treasure is especially effective at suppressing evil spirits. Wherever the aura reaches, the malevolent energy is instantly destroyed. Any wild beasts such as mountain goblins and wood demons that come into contact with it immediately shatter and disintegrate, dispersing into a sky full of black smoke.

In an instant, all the beast souls were destroyed. She waved her magic ruler and then used the light circle to sweep across the entire cave, clearing away the wisps of black smoke.

Lu Rongbo exclaimed, "The Third Palace Master truly has remarkable skills!"

They entered the cave, preparing to search for signs of the demon's corpse.

Suddenly, black smoke rose from the ground again, even thicker than before. With a thud, a zombie appeared out of thin air on the stone bed. It was covered in black hair, had a mouthful of fangs, and stood upright on the stone bed with its hands outstretched, its fingernails growing out of a foot long, reaching out to grab Lu Rongbo.

Lu Rongbo, Erfeng, and Dongxiu simultaneously released their flying swords, and three sword lights slashed across, cutting the zombie into four pieces.

The zombie's body broke apart, but it didn't fall to the ground. Its head flew off to bite Lu Rongbo, its chest and arms grabbed Erfeng, its intestines flew out of its abdomen and wrapped around Dongxiu, and its legs kicked Sanfeng.

Seeing that she had failed to completely break the enemy's ambush, Sanfeng felt a little embarrassed. She swung the Xuan Guang Ruler again, releasing many light rings that landed on the zombies, causing them to crackle and explode. A burst of lightning flashed, and the zombies' corpse energy was dispersed. They fell to the ground one after another with thuds.

Sanfeng hated the zombie for making her lose face, so she used four light rings to encircle the body parts and contract them inward, intending to squeeze and crush them.

The head, hovering within the halo, suddenly spoke, calling out, "Rongbo..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Rongbo's heart trembled. She hurriedly stopped Sanfeng and focused her gaze on the face of the zombie's head. She could vaguely make out her father's eyebrows and eyes. She was immediately struck dumb and cried out, "Father!" She rushed over.

Sanfeng and the others were surprised to find that the zombie was actually Lu Min, whom they were looking for. They exchanged glances and quickly dispersed the light.

The zombie head said, "Rongbo, you must leave! The demon corpse Gu Chen has turned me into a zombie and is controlling me to kill you... Just now, the Xuanmen treasure severed the evil spell he cast on me, and I regained my senses, but I'm afraid..."
