Joining Tiandao Company: Starting by mending a zombie world

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Sister Xia arranged rooms for the three of them in the villa.

She seemed worried that Chu Sheng might have some ulterior motives, so she deliberately arranged for both ladies to stay on the third floor, but left Chu Sheng on the second floor, and even let him stay in the innermost room.

"I am a man of integrity; how could I possibly harbor such despicable thoughts?"

Chu Sheng believed he had seen through Xia Jie's thoughts, and to avoid suspicion, he went back to his room to cultivate early.

Just after nine o'clock, there was a knock on the door.

It was Sister Xia's voice coming from outside the door: "Master Chu, are you asleep?"

Chu Sheng didn't think much of it and opened the door. He saw Sister Xia walking in wearing a cool lace dress.

"Sister Xia?" Chu Sheng raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is something the matter?"

"Hehe..." Sister Xia laughed awkwardly, "Are you settling in alright?"

"It's just for one night, there's nothing to get used to or not," Chu Sheng replied.

"Oh..." Sister Xia drawled, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

Chu Sheng was straightforward and couldn't stand her hesitant look:

"Sister Xia, just say what's on your mind. It's nothing serious."

Sister Xia gave an awkward smile, and then she let her guard down:

"I heard from Fatty Yu that some highly skilled sorcerers in your line of work can use their own vital essence to improve the fortunes of believers. I wonder... is that true or not?"

Chu Sheng was taken aback, not expecting that Sister Xia would come over in the middle of the night to ask this question.

He nodded and readily admitted, "Strengthening the foundation and nourishing the source has existed since ancient times."

But then the tone shifted immediately:

"However, my skill level is still too low, and I cannot do it yet."

"Ah..." A hint of disappointment flashed across Sister Xia's eyes, but it was only fleeting, and she quickly sighed.

"Sigh, I was thinking that once Bai Xue recovered, I would ask a master to help her change her luck as well."

Chu Sheng curled his lip—Bai Xue wasn't his type, and there was no need to waste his vital energy on her. Besides, she hadn't developed any dependence on him, so dual cultivation wasn't suitable for them.

"What a pity."

"My Snow White is so beautiful."

Sister Xia shook her head; she came full of enthusiasm but left disappointed.

As I left, I kept thinking to myself:

"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have gone to all that trouble to arrange for him to be here..."

After Sister Xia left, nothing else happened that night.

The following day, after lunch.

Chu Sheng has made all the necessary preparations.

He set up an offering table in the center of the living room, on which were placed ritual implements such as incense burners, command flags, a divination ruler, and copper coin swords. The most eye-catching items were three bowls of chicken blood mixed with cinnabar.

He lit three incense sticks, bowed in all four directions, and inserted them into the incense burner.

"Today, your disciple Chu Sheng, acting on the decrees of Maoshan, is here to exorcise evil spirits and protect the faithful. I humbly request the assistance of the Ancestral Master!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the smoke from the incense burner rose straight up, condensing and not dissipating.

Just then, the red thread and copper coin array he had set up in advance suddenly reacted, emitting a "buzzing" sound.

Immediately, a gust of evil wind swept in from the outside, stretching the red thread like a bowstring.

With a "snap," the red thread broke.

"Master Chu Sheng!"

The red thread broke suddenly, startling the girls who screamed.

Fatty Yu, who had come to watch the spectacle, seemed much calmer. He pressed his hand to the stamp on his chest and quietly took a few steps back.

"Don't panic!" Chu Sheng raised his hand and threw out a talisman to suppress evil spirits.

The talisman ignited in the air, instantly suppressing the evil spirits and malice within the house.

"A pine tree stands before the Sanqing Hall, its branches trembling in the cold wind, the disciples of Maoshan resolute and meticulous!"

Chu Sheng did not take action directly, but instead followed Mao Xiaofang's rule in "The Ghost Catcher's Notes" and gave a warning first.

After all, it is best for the caster to break free from evil spells themselves; otherwise, breaking them is not only troublesome, but may also harm the person under the spell.

After saying this, he picked up a bowl of water and poured it on the ground.

The water evaporates on its own without heat, turning into a misty vapor.

The water vapor gradually condensed into a bright mirror, slowly reflecting a dark room—in the room were several fist-sized skulls, and behind the skulls sat an old man dressed in a gray robe with a sinister gaze.

Chu Sheng was taken aback and blurted out, "A sorcerer from Southeast Asia?"

"I am Nai Peng, a disciple of the Black-Clad Ajarn." The old man nodded slightly. "Young friend, would you do me the honor?"

"Face?" Chu Sheng scoffed. "When you harmed people, did you ever think about saving them face?"

Nai Peng gave a sinister smile: "The feuds of the martial world are settled by each person's own means."

"Young friend, it's truly remarkable that you possess such cultivation at such a young age. Why make an enemy of this old man for the sake of someone unrelated?"

"Make an enemy?" Chu Sheng's lips curled into a slight smile as he coldly said, "You think you're worthy?"

Having said that, he didn't bother to say anything more.

Whether it's Southeast Asia or Japan, anyone who dares to commit evil in China deserves to die!

Chu Sheng slammed his hand on the table, shaking up the amulet coins that had been placed there earlier, and shouted in a low voice, "Imperial decree!"

This amulet coin was personally blessed by Madana and contains divine dragon magic, making it extremely effective against demons and ghosts.

Suddenly, the ancient dragon pattern on it came to life, and every engraving seemed to be filled with molten gold, overflowing with brilliance.

It condensed into a spiral-shaped blade, accompanied by a deep, dragon-like roar, and pierced straight into Nai Peng's chest.

"Hmph, how arrogant!"

Nai Peng was caught off guard by Chu Sheng's preemptive strike. His eyes flashed with a fierce light as he slapped the five skulls in front of him with both palms.

"Five ghosts, heed my command! Devour souls and steal spirits, go!"

The five skulls spun around and transformed into a wisp of black mist, which condensed into a baby-sized evil spirit that pierced through the water vapor mirror and rushed straight towards Chu Sheng inside the villa!

"A ghost!" the girls screamed in fright. Dai Ran, remaining somewhat calm, reminded Chu Sheng, "Be careful!"

As for Fatty Yu, he remained on the sidelines, neither offering any help nor showing any fear.

Chu Sheng stared blankly at the five menacing demon cubs, then said speechlessly:

"This is the first time I've seen such a weak demon since I became an apprentice!"

He gave a soft hum and chanted, "Open!"

The next moment, several golden and sharp dragon scales materialized around the amulet coin, easily piercing through the evil spirit's body.

Puff puff……

Wherever the amulet money passes, the screams of evil spirits vanish, leaving no trace.

"No--!"

Nai Peng never expected that Chu Sheng's amulet coins would be so powerful.

He let out a half-scream of heart-wrenching agony—the echo of which was shattered in his throat.

The grim skull in front of me was cracking with a chilling rhythm.

The cracks moved as fast as if they were alive, and spiderwebs instantly covered the entire twisted skeletal face, with thousands of dazzling crimson-gold rays bursting out from the eye sockets, between the teeth, and the top of the head.

"Die!"

Take advantage of his illness and kill him!

Chu Sheng pointed with both fingers, showing no mercy, and recited rapidly:

"With my blood, I unleash the evil that shatters the boundaries! Heaven and earth reverse, the evil magic backfires! By decree!"

The amulet coin immediately pierced the water mirror, shot in swiftly, and disappeared into Nai Peng's brow.

"Forgive me..." A red mark appeared between Nai Peng's eyebrows, his body went limp, his neck tilted to one side, and he breathed no more.

"Return!" Chu Sheng gestured with his fingers, and the amulet coins flew back from the water vapor mirror, landing back on the altar as if they had never left.

The water mirror cleared, and Sister Xia, still shaken, asked, "Is...it over?"
