Zombie World: Starting as an apprentice of the Thunder King

Lin Bei barely opened his eyes and saw a woman in a black Taoist robe land in the courtyard.

The woman looked to be in her thirties, tall and with delicate features. Her black hair was tied back with a silver hairpin.

A short sword hung at her waist, and she held a compass in her hand, which was engraved with intricate runes and emitted a faint light.

What startled him most was her aura, so powerful and overwhelming, like a mountain pressing down on him.

Lin Bei felt a jolt in his heart as he sensed that aura.

This woman is actually a master of the True Person realm!

The white-clad ghost also sensed that aura, its expression changed drastically, and it took several steps back, its eyes filled with fear!

"Who...who are you?"

The woman put away the compass, put her hands behind her back, and coldly stared at the white-clad ghost.

"Hmph! The Ma family of the Exorcist Dragon Clan, Madana!"

The white-clad ghost's pupils constricted sharply upon hearing the name.

"The Ma family of the Exorcist Dragon Clan? Impossible! How could members of the Ma family be here?"

Ma Danna sneered: "The Ma family has slain demons and monsters, traversing the world. What is impossible for them?"

The white-clad ghost's expression shifted between light and shadow, his eyes filled with apprehension.

The Ma family of the Exorcist Dragon Clan is a renowned exorcist family in the North, with a history spanning over a thousand years. Legend has it that each generation has a terrifyingly powerful expert at the Celestial Master level in charge of their family.

It was a 400-year-old vengeful ghost that could walk sideways in front of ordinary people, but in front of the Ma family, it was no different from an ant.

But it had cultivated for four hundred years and finally achieved its current level of cultivation; it was unwilling to give up just like that.

"Madanna, I have no grudge against you, why bother with my business?" the white-robed ghost's voice was sinister. "What does this little Taoist priest have to do with you?"

Madana glanced at Lin Bei lying on the ground and shook her head.

"I don't know him."

"Then just pretend you didn't see it. I'll leave after I've dealt with this little Taoist priest and won't bother you at all."

Ma Danna scoffed, "My Ma family slays demons and monsters; do you think we need to negotiate with ghosts?"

She flipped her right hand and pulled a talisman from her sleeve, holding it between her fingers.

The blue talisman paper was covered with intricate runes and exuded a faint aura of power!

Lin Bei lay on the ground and his eyes lit up when he saw the blue talisman.

As expected of the Ma family of the exorcist dragon clan, they are very generous. His master also has blue talismans, but he collects each one as a treasure!

The white-clad ghost's face immediately showed fear when it saw the blue talisman!

Without saying a word, it turned and ran.

Madana remained calm, tossed the blue talisman into the air, and made a hand seal.

"Heaven and earth are boundless, and the universe borrows their laws. The divine dragon commands, and even ghosts and spirits tremble!"

The blue talisman exploded in the air, transforming into a blinding blue light that shot straight into the sky.

A dragon's roar came from the sky, shaking the earth.

A golden dragon emerged from the blue light. It was over ten zhang long, its scales shimmering with gold, its claws flashing with a sharp, cold light, and its enormous dragon eyes were extremely intimidating.

hold head high!!!

The dragon circled once in the air before lunging at the white-clad ghost.

"No, Madonna, I have no grudge against you, please spare me this time!"

The white-clad ghost let out a mournful scream and ran forward desperately, but the dragon was too fast and caught up with it in the blink of an eye.

"Hmph, you vengeful ghost, your resentment is overwhelming, you deserve to die!"

The dragon opened its mouth and swallowed the white-clad ghost whole.

The white-clad ghost didn't even have time to struggle before it was swallowed whole by the dragon.

The dragon circled once more in the air, then transformed into a golden light and disappeared into the sky.

The courtyard fell silent.

Madana withdrew her hand, patted her sleeves, and turned to look at Lin Bei.

Lin Bei lay on the ground, covered in blood, his face bruised and battered, but his eyes were wide open as he stared at Ma Dana.

"S-senpai..."

Madana walked over, looked down at him, and frowned slightly.

"From Maoshan?"

Lin Bei nodded quickly: "Lin Bei, disciple of Daoist Shi Jian of Qingzhu Mountain!"

"Shi Jian's disciple?" A hint of surprise flashed in Madana's eyes. "The Thunder King's disciple, how come he's so easily defeated?"

Lin Bei smiled wryly: "Senior, I've only been cultivating for three years..."

Madana was somewhat surprised. In just three years, he had already reached the cultivation level of a Daoist master. He was indeed a promising talent!

Then he bent down, grabbed Lin Bei by the back of the neck, and lifted him up like a chick.

Lin Bei's face turned bright red. What would he do if someone saw this?

"Senior, change positions, change positions!" Lin Bei struggled for a while, but the broken ribs were pulled, and he could only twitch in pain.

"Why change it? It's fine as is. Come on, let's find a place to treat your injuries."

She carried Lin Bei to the courtyard wall, pushed off with her feet, and leaped onto the wall.

The county magistrate and several soldiers hid in the alley. When they heard that there was no movement in the courtyard, they peeked inside.

A woman suddenly appeared on the courtyard wall, carrying Lin Bei, who was covered in blood, which startled them.

"This...this Taoist priest..." the county magistrate stammered.

Madana jumped down from the courtyard wall, then hoisted Lin Bei onto her shoulder and glanced at the county magistrate.

"The vengeful spirit has been exorcised. The silver dollar has been delivered to the Yuelai Inn in the city." With that, he carried Lin Bei and strode away.

The county magistrate stood there, stunned, unable to recover for a long time. This female Taoist priest was truly heroic and unconventional.

Yuelai Inn is the largest inn in the county town, a clean and tidy two-story wooden building.

Madana booked two superior rooms and threw Lin Bei onto the bed in one of them.

Lin Bei groaned as he was thrown, wincing in pain.

"Be gentle, senior!"

Madana glared at him, took out a porcelain bottle from her bundle, poured out a pill, and stuffed it into Lin Bei's mouth.

"Swallow it!"

As the pill entered the stomach, a warm current rose from the stomach and flowed to the limbs and bones.

The broken ribs were gently cared for and began to heal slowly.

Lin Bei immediately felt much better and let out a long breath.

"Thank you so much for saving my life, senior."

Madana sat at the table, poured herself a cup of tea, and took a sip.

"Don't call me 'senior,' just call me Sister Na."

Lin Bei paused for a moment, then smiled: "Sister Na."

Madana put down her teacup, looked at Lin Bei, and a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes.

"Are you really Shi Jian's apprentice?"

Lin Bei smiled wryly and said, "Absolutely true!"

"That old bastard Shi Jian has a terrible temper, how could he accept a disciple?" Madana shook her head. "And he's even got a pure Yang Dao body. He's really lucky."

Lin Bei scratched his head: "Sister Na, do you know my master?"

"I know him, we've crossed paths a few times." Madana curled her lips slightly. "That old bastard, just because he's the senior disciple of the Maoshan Sect, he thinks he's all that and doesn't respect anyone."

"Acting like the heavens are the greatest, I'm second, and the ancestors are third!"

Lin Bei chuckled and said, "Master does have a bad temper, but he's a good person."

Madana glanced at him but didn't reply. She walked to the window, opened it, and looked out at the street.

"You've come out to gain experience alone?"

"Yeah, to get out and see the world."

"Your master was comfortable letting you come out alone? With your early-stage cultivation, you'd be sending yourself to your death if you encountered any powerful demons or monsters."

Lin Bei blushed: "I thought the ghosts outside had at most a hundred years of cultivation, but who knew I'd run into one with four hundred years of cultivation right away..."

Madana shook her head and turned to look at him.

"You're badly injured and need to rest for a few days. You'll stay with me for the next few days; I also have some errands to run around here."

Lin Bei was overjoyed: "Thank you so much, Sister Na!"
