Zombie World: Starting as an apprentice of the Thunder King

Master Hui walked in, knelt down with a thud, and respectfully kowtowed nine times.

"Grandpa Hu, Hui Qi of the Hui family, we beg you to do us justice!"

Grandpa Hu looked at it and frowned slightly.

"I already know about Grey Nine."

Seventh Master Gray raised his head, his eyes filled with grief and indignation. "Third Grandfather Hu, our ancestor died so tragically! He was pierced through the chest by that Madana with the Nine True Words, and we couldn't even bring back his body!"

"Hui Jiu didn't listen to me and went to his death. Who can he blame?" Old Master Hu's voice was calm, but with a hint of coldness.

"What did I tell it last time? I told it to rest and recover properly and not cause any more trouble. But instead, before its injuries had even healed, it led its men to kill Lin Bei, and this time it ran into the Ma family!"

"Does it think Shi Jian is someone to be trifled with? Or that the Ma family is someone to be trifled with?"

Master Grey lay on the ground, not daring to utter a sound.

Grandpa Hu sighed and shook his head.

"Grey Nine is dead. The Grey family has lost its leader. What will you do now?"

"Please, Master Hu, give me some guidance!" Master Hui kowtowed three more times.

"I can't interfere in the Hui family's affairs." Old Master Hu stood up, took a few steps with his hands behind his back, "But since you're here, I won't ignore it."

"After you go back, keep your Hui family members in check and prevent them from causing trouble again, especially that Lin Bei. Don't go looking for trouble with him."

"But it's the ancestor's revenge..."

"What grudge?" Old Master Hu turned around, a fierce glint in his eyes. "Hui Jiu asked for his own death, he has no one to blame but himself. If you also want to die, I'll grant your wish right now."

Master Grey was so frightened that he trembled all over and lay on the ground, too scared to move.

"Remember, don't mess with Lin Bei again." Old Master Hu's tone softened a bit. "That kid has a pure Yang Dao body, is Shi Jian's personal disciple, and Ma Danna is very close to him."

"If you touch him, it's equivalent to offending both Maoshan and the Ma family at the same time. Can your Hui family afford that?"

Master Hui was sweating profusely and nodded repeatedly. "I've got it, I've got it. Thank you for your guidance, Third Master Hu."

"Get lost."

Grey Seven got up and ran out in a panic.

Grandpa Hu San stood in the cave, watching Master Hui Qi's retreating figure, a trace of melancholy flashing in his eyes.

The five immortal families—Fox, Weasel, White Fox, Willow, and Gray Fox—have been passed down for over a thousand years.

In his generation, the Hui family produced Hui Jiu, a brainless idiot, who led the Hui family into a dead end.

Now that Hui Jiu is dead, the Hui family has suffered a severe blow and it will take hundreds of years to recover.

Grandpa Hu sat back down on the stone chair, tapping his fingers on the armrest as he pondered another matter.

That's Huang San Niang...

Now that Hui Jiu is dead, will Huang San Niang also go looking for trouble with Lin Bei?

Like Gray Nine, it harbors a deep hatred for Shi Jian. If it were to follow Gray Nine's example and lead its men to kill Lin Bei, then...

Grandpa Hu became increasingly uneasy, so he raised his hand and waved it, sending a beam of white light shooting out from his fingertip and disappearing outside the cave.

Not long after, the other three heads of the five great immortal families arrived at Qingqiu Mountain through a secret method.

The old lady walked at the front. After transforming into human form, she was an old woman with white hair, leaning on a cane.

Chang Tianlong followed beside him. He was a tall, thin middle-aged man with a bluish face and a pair of vertical pupils that made people feel scared.

Huang San Niang transformed into the appearance of a middle-aged woman, wearing a yellow robe, walking at the very back, her expression shifting between light and dark.

The three family heads entered the cave and bowed to Third Master Hu.

"Grandpa Hu, you were looking for us?" Old Mrs. Bai asked.

Grandpa Hu pointed to the stone chair, "Sit!"

The three sat down, looked at Grandpa Hu, and waited for him to speak.

Grandpa Hu picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said slowly, "Hui Jiu is dead!"

"What?!" Old Mrs. Bai stood up abruptly. "How is this possible? Which force did this?"

Chang Tianlong was also shocked; his vertical pupils contracted sharply. "Hui Jiu is dead? How did she die?"

Only Huang San Niang remained silent, but her eyes were filled with shock.

How long have we been apart? In the blink of an eye, we're separated by life and death?

Grandpa Hu put down his teacup and looked straight at Huang San Niang.

This glance left Old Lady Bai and Chang Tianlong looking at each other in bewilderment.

What does that look from Grandpa Hu mean? Could it be that Huang San Niang killed Hui Jiu?

That's impossible! Huang San Niang and Hui Jiu are in cahoots, how could she kill him?

Huang San Niang felt a chill run down her spine under that gaze. What did that mean?

Old Mrs. Bai couldn't help but ask, "Third Master Hu, how exactly did Hui Jiu die?"

Grandpa Hu withdrew his gaze and slowly said, "Hui Jiu ignored my advice and led his men to kill Lin Bei, only to run into the Ma family."

"The Ma family? Which Ma family?" Chang Tianlong didn't react for a moment and hurriedly asked.

"The Exorcist Dragon Clan, the Ma family." Grandpa Hu's voice was calm. "Ma Danna, with her Nine True Words, pierced through Gray Nine's chest, and even its primordial spirit couldn't escape."

Grandma Bai and Chang Tianlong exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock.

The Ma family, the exorcist dragon clan, is a force to be reckoned with, on par with Maoshan. The Ma family's Nine True Words are incredibly powerful, specifically designed to subdue these demons.

Hui Jiu's death at the hands of the Ma family was no unjust; he was just unlucky!

Huang San Niang's expression changed when she heard the name Lin Bei.

She had indeed considered seeking revenge against Lin Bei, but Hu San Taiye's gaze was clearly a warning to her.

Now that Master Hui is dead, she dares not reveal these thoughts even more.

Grandma Bai also noticed Hu San Taiye's gaze and understood about 70-80% of what was going on. She glanced at Huang San Niang but didn't say anything.

Chang Tianlong understood, a thoughtful look flashing in his vertical pupils.

Grandpa Hu picked up his teacup again, took a sip, and said slowly, "Hui Jiu is dead, and the Hui family is severely weakened. I don't want to see the Huang family follow in the same footsteps as the Hui family."

Huang San Niang's face turned pale, and she quickly stood up and bowed.

"Don't worry, Grandpa Hu. I, Huang San Niang, am not a brainless wretch like Hui Jiu. I will not cause trouble for Lin Bei, and I have no reason to cause trouble for the Ma family."

"When I get back, I will definitely discipline my children and grandchildren strictly to prevent them from going out and causing trouble."

Grandpa Hu nodded, his expression softening somewhat.

"It's best if you think that way. Go back, recover from your injuries, and cultivate diligently. This world is not peaceful; having more strength means having more security."

"Yes." Huang San Niang bowed and turned to leave.

Old Mrs. Bai and Chang Tianlong also stood up and bid farewell to Third Master Hu.

"Grandpa Hu, we're going back too."

Grandpa Hu waved his hand, and the two turned and walked out of the cave.

After leaving Qingqiu Mountain, Old Madam Bai stopped Chang Tianlong and asked in a low voice, "Do you think Huang San Niang will really listen to Hu San Taiye?"

Chang Tianlong sneered: "You have to listen whether you want to or not. Didn't you see the look in Third Master Hu's eyes? That was a warning, and also an ultimatum."

"If Huang San Niang dares to imitate Hui Jiu, Hu San Tai Ye will be the first to not let her off the hook."

Old Mrs. Bai sighed. "If Gray Nine dies and Huang San Niang also gets into trouble, then only three of the Five Great Immortal Families will remain."

"Serves them right!" Chang Tianlong sneered. "They brought this on themselves, who else can they blame?"

"Of all people to mess with, why did they have to provoke those lunatics from Maoshan? They're all fiercely protective of their own!"

"It seems we need to go back and keep a closer eye on our people!"

The two shook their heads and went back to their respective places.
