Zombie World: Starting as an apprentice of the Thunder King

Upon seeing that Master Kong had agreed, the sect leaders quickly expressed their support!

"Longhu Mountain is also willing to help."

"Mount Emei is also willing."

"Qingcheng Mountain is also willing."

Several major sects have expressed their opinions, and the smaller sects have followed suit.

Master Liu's face turned somewhat grim, but he dared not say anything more.

Master Qingxu bowed to everyone and said, "Thank you all. The seal can hold for another five days. After five days, we will reinforce the seal."

"For the next five days, you may rest on the mountain or wander around, but please do not approach the forbidden area at the back of the mountain."

The experts from all the different factions nodded in agreement. After the meeting adjourned, Lin Bei followed Shi Jian out of the main hall.

"Master, who is that Taoist priest Liu? Why is he speaking in such a strange and sarcastic way?"

Shi Jian snorted coldly: "This man is Liu Chengzhi, a traitor of the Quanzhen Sect. He was expelled from the sect for violating the sect rules and later joined the Laoshan Sect."

"He's narrow-minded and vindictive; ignore him!"

Lin Bei nodded, secretly memorizing the name.

Over the next few days, masters from various schools stayed at the Quanzhen Sect.

Lin Bei and Shi Shaojian would often wander around the mountain, enjoying the scenery and occasionally chatting with disciples from other sects.

"You're Lin Bei?" A young man in a white Taoist robe walked over and looked him up and down.

Lin Bei bowed and said, "Indeed, and who are you?"

"Longhu Mountain, Zhang Zhiling!" The young man smiled. "I've long admired your name."

Lin Bei was taken aback: "You've heard of me?"

"Of course, who in the cultivation world hasn't heard of you now?" Zhang Zhiling laughed. "Pure Yang Dao Body, a top disciple of Daoist Shi Jian, even Master Hui Jiu died at your hands."

Lin Bei smiled and shook his head, saying, "I didn't kill Master Hui Jiu; it was Madana who did."

"But it all started because of you." Zhang Zhiling patted his shoulder. "For Master Hui Jiu to personally intervene, you must be someone important."

Lin Bei scratched his head, a little embarrassed. Why did he feel a strange sense of pride when he was being chased?

Zhang Zhiling was only a few years older than him, but his cultivation level was at the late stage of the Mage realm, two major realms higher than his. He truly deserved to be a high-ranking disciple of the Celestial Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain.

The two chatted for a while and found they got along quite well.

Zhang Zhiling is an outgoing and humorous person who gets along well with Lin Bei.

"Brother Lin, are you free tonight? I'd like to treat you to a drink."

"Sure!" Lin Bei agreed without hesitation.

That evening, Zhang Zhiling set up a table of food and drinks in the room and invited Lin Bei and Shi Shaojian over for drinks.

The three of them drank and chatted, from cultivation to the general trend of the world, and then from the general trend of the world to demons and monsters.

Zhang Zhiling drank quite a bit and became more talkative.

"Brother Lin, do you know what? I always feel there's something wrong with the seal on the Ten Thousand Ghosts Cave."

Lin Bei paused, put down his wine glass, and asked, "What's the problem?"

"I can't quite put my finger on it, but something just feels off." Zhang Zhiling frowned. "A seal that's been intact for three hundred years, never had a problem before, how could it suddenly be about to shatter?"

"Moreover, the Quanzhen Sect just reinforced the seal recently, so it shouldn't have run into problems so soon."

Lin Bei recalled what Shi Jian had said and exchanged a silent glance with Shi Shaojian.

"You mean, someone tampered with it?"

Zhang Zhiling didn't say anything, but picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"I hope I'm just overthinking it."

Five days later, masters from various factions gathered at the back mountain.

The entrance to the Ten Thousand Ghosts Cave is deep in the back mountain, in a huge cave whose entrance is sealed by a stone door.

The stone gate was covered with incantation runes, emitting a faint glow.

But now, some of those runes have dimmed, and some have even developed cracks.

A strong, eerie aura seeped out from the cracks in the stone door, permeating the air.

Lin Bei stood at a distance, looking at the eerie aura, feeling a chill run through his body.

"Such heavy yin energy." Shi Shaojian shuddered.

Shi Jian stood at the front, looking at the runes on the stone gate with a furrowed brow.

Master Qingxu walked over with a solemn expression.

"The seal is worse than expected; it can only hold for three more days at most."

Master Liaokong clasped his hands together. "Amitabha, let's begin now."

Master Qingxu nodded and looked at the experts from various sects.

"Gentlemen, reinforcing the seal requires five masters at the Earth Master level to cast spells simultaneously."

"This humble Taoist, Master Liaokong, Daoist Qingfeng, Abbess Jingyi, and Daoist Qingsong, the five of us will perform the spell."

"Others stood guard on the perimeter to prevent anyone from causing trouble."

The experts from all schools nodded in agreement.

The five geomancers walked to the stone gate and sat down cross-legged.

Master Qingxu pulled a blue talisman from his sleeve and held it between his fingers.

Master Liaokong took out a string of prayer beads, Daoist Qingfeng took out a peach wood sword, Abbess Jingyi took out a bronze mirror, and Daoist Qingsong took out a whisk.

The five people cast spells simultaneously, injecting five streams of magical power into the stone gate.

The runes on the stone gate suddenly shone brightly!

Strangely, the yin energy inside the seal did not weaken but instead became even stronger.

Master Qingxu's expression changed. "Something's wrong! Someone inside the seal is casting a spell; they're preventing us from reinforcing it!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the stone door trembled violently, and a terrifying force burst forth from within.

The five geomancers were simultaneously forced back, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.

Immediately afterward, a crack appeared on the stone door, and then more and more appeared.

"Oh no! The seal is about to break!" Master Qingxu shouted.

Just then, a dark figure rushed out from behind the stone door and headed straight for the five geomancers.

The dark figure moved with incredible speed, arriving in front of Master Qingxu in the blink of an eye.

"presumptuous!"

Shi Jian stepped forward, blocking Qingxu Zhenren's path.

"Lightning Thunder Fist, Thunder!"

A punch was thrown, and a bolt of lightning as thick as a wrist struck the shadowy figure.

The dark figure screamed as it was blasted away by the lightning, crashing into the stone wall and sending shards of rock flying.

As the dust settled, a middle-aged man dressed in a black Taoist robe was revealed.

"It's you!" Master Qingxu recognized him. "Liu Chengzhi!"

Liu Chengzhi gave a bitter laugh, clutched his chest, and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Master Li, how's this surprise?"

"You bastard, why did you do this?" Master Qingxu glared at him angrily.

"Why?" Liu Chengzhi laughed loudly, "Back then, you expelled me from your sect, making me unable to hold my head up in the cultivation world. I've waited for over a decade, just for this day!"

"Once the Cave of Ten Thousand Ghosts is breached, tens of thousands of vengeful ghosts will pour out, and the entire Quanzhen Sect will be wiped out!"

"Ha ha ha ha....."

Master Qingxu trembled with rage: "You beast! For personal revenge, you disregard the well-being of all people?"

"What do I care about the fate of the people?" Liu Chengzhi sneered. "I only care about the demise of the Quanzhen Sect."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the stone gate exploded open with a deafening roar.

Countless dark figures rushed out of the cave, densely packed and overwhelming.

Tens of thousands of fierce ghosts roared madly and rushed towards the experts from various factions.

Lin Bei looked at the densely packed black shadows and his scalp tingled instantly.

"Holy crap, so many!"

Shi Shaojian's legs went weak: "Junior brother... how are we supposed to fight this?"
