Zombie World: Starting as an apprentice of the Thunder King

Liu Daba stood to the side, silent, his face grim.

Just then, footsteps came from the backyard, and Ye Liangchen, the third son of the Ye family, ran out.

He was wearing a silk nightgown, his hair was messy, and his eyes were not fully open.

"Dad, what's going on? What's all the noise about so early in the morning?"

Old Master Ye pointed tremblingly at the two corpses on the door panel, unable to speak.

Ye Liangchen walked over and took a look. He was stunned for a moment, then knelt down with a thud, hugged his elder brother's body, and cried.

"Big brother! Second brother! How did you die! Who killed you?!"

He cried his heart out, his face covered in tears and snot.

But if someone looked closely into his eyes, they would find that there was no sadness in them at all; instead, there was a hint of excitement.

His two older brothers are dead, and the Ye family's assets will now belong to him alone.

Ye Liangchen was overjoyed inside, but his face showed a more pitiful expression of crying than anyone else's.

After crying for a while, Old Master Ye suddenly stood up, wiped away his tears, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

"Liangchen, come with me."

He turned and walked towards the backyard. Ye Liangchen was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed.

Old Master Ye knew very well that the deaths of his two sons must be related to those two Taoist priests, but now that his sons were dead, he was determined to go to the immortals to find out the truth!

The father and son walked through several corridors and arrived at the main hall in the backyard.

The offering table in the main hall is still there, but the incense in the incense burner has long since burned out, leaving only three pieces of incense ash. There are also peanut and melon shells scattered all over the ground!

Grandpa Ye walked to the offering table, picked up three incense sticks, lit them, and respectfully placed them into the incense burner.

Then he took three steps back, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times.

"Immortal, the Ye family has served the Hui family for many years without ever daring to neglect them. Today, my two sons have been brutally murdered in the street. I beg you, Immortal, to grant us justice!"

Ye Liangchen stood to the side, knelt down, and respectfully kowtowed several times!

The hall was very quiet. Old Master Ye waited for a quarter of an hour, but there was no movement on the offering table.

Even after all the incense in the incense burner had burned out, the three gray spirits did not appear at all.

Old Master Ye's face grew paler and paler, and sweat began to bead on his forehead.

In the past, whenever he offered incense, the spirit of the gray family would appear, or at least give him some kind of response.

Nothing today!

"Father, why didn't the immortal come?" Ye Liangchen asked in a low voice.

Grandpa Ye didn't answer. He stood up, walked to the offering table, picked up three incense sticks, lit them, and inserted them into the incense burner.

Another half hour passed, but still nothing happened.

Now Old Master Ye understood that these three gray spirits must know something!

Those two Taoist priests were so powerful that even the Gray Immortal dared not provoke them.

But he was unwilling to accept it; his two sons could not have died in vain.

Old Master Ye's face hardened, and he turned and walked out of the hall.

"Liangchen, go and call Liu Qiang here."

Ye Liangchen ran out and soon led Liu Daba to the backyard.

Liu Daba stood at the entrance of the hall, looking at Old Master Ye.

"Mr. Ye, you wanted to see me?"

Old Master Ye walked up to him, took out a handful of silver dollars from his sleeve, and stuffed them into his hand.

"Captain Liu, go to the Yuelai Inn and bring those two Taoist priests here."

Liu Daba weighed the silver dollars in his hand; there were at least fifty of them.

"Master Ye, what did those two Taoist priests... do wrong?"

"You killed my two sons, tell me what crime you committed?"

Liu Daba's heart skipped a beat. How did Old Master Ye know that the two Taoist priests were the ones who killed the person?

But Old Master Ye was a major benefactor, and he couldn't afford to offend him, much less ask about these things!

"Okay, I'll go."

Liu Daba put the money in his pocket and turned to leave. Just as he looked up, he noticed the situation in the lobby.

Is Grandpa Ye making offerings to the immortals?

Liu Daba La stroked his chin, his eyes gleaming. He hadn't expected the Ye family to have such connections; this matter was probably related to the immortals!

This also made Liu Daba very troublesome. These people had strange methods, and he usually avoided them whenever he saw them!

"Fine, I've already taken the money. I'll just let someone else do it!" Liu the Scarface grinned sinisterly and strode away.

Ye Liangchen stood at the entrance of the lobby, watching Liu Daba's back. His lips twitched slightly, but he quickly regained his sorrowful expression.

"Dad, is Captain Liu capable? Those two Taoist priests..."

"We have to try, whether it works or not," Old Master Ye said bitterly. "We can't let your eldest and second brothers die in vain."

At Yuelai Inn, Lin Bei had been cultivating for a whole day. The magic power in his dantian was slowly circulating, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth outside the dantian was drawn into his dantian and refined into strands of magic power!

After this period of cultivation, although I am still far from the middle stage of Daoist mastery, I am at least making progress.

Lin Bei was preparing to circulate his Qi through another small cycle when he suddenly heard a commotion outside the inn.

Lin Bei opened his eyes and frowned. Who was causing trouble outside?

The noise grew closer and closer, finally stopping at the entrance of the inn.

"Get your boss out here, the security team is investigating!"

Hearing the commotion, the innkeeper hurried out and saw a group of soldiers carrying rifles rushing in, their guns pointed at his head!

"Captain Liu, what... what are you doing?" The boss stared in horror at the dark gun barrel in front of him, cold sweat pouring down his back!

Liu Daba was at the very back, holding a pistol in his hand.

"Where do those two Taoist priests live?" Liu Daba asked the boss.

The boss was taken aback. A Taoist priest? Then his eyes darted around, and he quickly pointed to the second floor.

"Upstairs, the second and third rooms on the left."

Liu Daba waved his hand, and a dozen soldiers rushed up the stairs!

The door to Lin Bei's room was kicked open, and several soldiers rushed in, pointing their rifles at Lin Bei.

"Don't move! Come with us!"

Lin Bei looked at the soldiers and sneered.

"Who are you? What right do you have to arrest me?"

"Security guards! You're suspected of murder. Come with us for questioning!"

Lin Bei laughed heartily, "Murder? Daoist Master killed rats last night, when did he kill anyone?"

The soldiers exchanged glances, wondering what he was saying.

"Enough talk! Let's go!"

A soldier reached out and grabbed Lin Bei's shoulder.

Lin Bei's eyes turned cold. He raised his hand, grabbed the man's wrist, and twisted it gently.

Click!

The soldier dislocated his wrist, let out a scream, and knelt on the ground.

Seeing this, the other soldiers raised their rifles and were about to fire.

Lin Bei stepped on the Yu Step, his figure flickered, and he disappeared from the spot.

"Tai Chi Chuan, Ban Lan Chui!"

He punched the soldier in front of him in the chest, sending him flying. The soldier crashed into the corridor wall and coughed up blood.

"Elbow strike!"

He punched another soldier in the stomach, and the soldier fell to the ground, unable to get up.

"Spinning punch!"

With the third punch, all three soldiers were sent flying and tumbled down the stairs, their screams echoing throughout the inn.

The remaining soldiers turned pale with fright, aiming their rifles wildly, trying to fire, but Lin Bei was too fast, and they couldn't aim accurately at all.

Lin Bei pulled a talisman from his bundle with his left hand and held it between his fingers.

"Lord Laozi, may your command be fulfilled immediately!"

The talisman exploded, and a burst of golden light erupted in the corridor, leaving several soldiers dizzy and disoriented, causing them to fall to the ground.

In less than a minute, more than a dozen soldiers were all lying on the ground groaning in pain!

Liu Daba La stood at the top of the stairs and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he saw this scene.

He raised his pistol and aimed it at Lin Bei.

"You evil Taoist priest, touch me again and I'll shoot!"

Lin Bei turned his head, looked at him, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"Fire? You dare try!"
