Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

Lujia Village is a small village nestled against the mountains. It has a small population and is quite poor, but it is also very quiet. After all, warlords would not come to such a place. It is free from worldly strife, so although it is poor, it is peaceful.

However, things have been quite unsettled in Lujia Village recently. Zombies have attacked the village, and within just three days, several people have lost their lives at their hands.

When Lin Yaoxie arrived at the entrance of Lujia Village, he couldn't help but frown. A strong smell of blood entered his nose, making him feel nauseous.

The smell of blood was really strong, as if I were surrounded by mountains and seas of corpses.

Thinking of this, Lin Yaoxie's eyebrows twitched. He immediately stepped into Lu Family Village, taking out the Three Pure Emperor Bell and holding it in his hand. He cautiously looked around and was surprised to find that there was not a single person in the entire village, and many houses were collapsed, with bloodstains on the walls of those houses.

A bad feeling suddenly rose in Lin Yaoxie's heart. Could it be that the entire village had been slaughtered by zombies? Wasn't it said that there was only one zombie?

A village must have at least a hundred people. With the abilities of a zombie, it's impossible for it to kill hundreds of people in a single day. Even if it could, wouldn't the zombie burst itself?

To evolve into a hairy zombie, a zombie needs to absorb the blood of living people. After absorbing a certain amount of blood, it can evolve into a hairy zombie. However, there is a limit to the amount that can be absorbed at one time. It can absorb the blood of two or three people at most in a day. Any more than that and the zombie will burst.

In other words, if Lu Family Village was indeed massacred by zombies, there must have been more than one zombie. Unless the zombie was just killing people for fun and didn't drink blood, there wouldn't have been just one zombie.

Would a zombie be bored out of its mind? Obviously not.

Thinking of this, Lin Yaoxie's lips twitched. Without hesitation, he took out the Corpse-Suppressing Jade Coffin and released ten zombies to form a circle around him, protecting him in the middle.

Although these zombies are all wandering corpses, they have all been trained by Mao Fang using the Corpse-Raising Technique, so they are not afraid of the Corpse-Suppressing Talisman or the sun.

"Hopefully, there won't be any zombies at the level of hairy zombies," Lin Yaoxie thought to himself, leading ten zombies slowly into Lu Family Village.

However, after walking for a long time, Lin Yaoxie did not see a single person, corpse, or zombie in Lujia Village. It was as if the entire Lujia Village had vanished into thin air.

This is just too bizarre.

To be honest, Lin Yaoxie really wanted to turn around and leave right now, not caring about the fate of Lujia Village, but his curiosity was too strong, so he had no choice but to continue searching for clues.

Since they couldn't find Lu Family Village, Lin Yaoxie led the zombies towards the mountain behind Lu Family Village.

……

The mountain is not high, but the vegetation is lush, the trees are tall and thick, with abundant green leaves, yet it offers a bit of shade.

As soon as Lin Yaoxie led the zombies to the mountain, he felt a chill, as if someone was watching him, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.

The further they went in, the more eerie the feeling became. Lin Yaoxie frowned slightly, immediately drew his peach wood sword, and carefully led the zombies inside.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Lin Yaoxie suddenly discovered a cave ahead. Judging from the chisel marks on the cave, it was clearly a man-made cave.

The cave entrance was very spacious, with a diameter of five meters. Inside, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen.

Lin Yaoxie frowned and thought for a moment, then stretched out his right hand. Boom! A blazing fireball appeared in the air above his palm, floating and spinning. The fireball was about the size of a basketball.

"Go!" Lin Yaoxie waved his right hand, and the fireball shot rapidly through the air toward the cave.

When the fireball entered the cave, it did not explode or go out, but instead hovered inside the cave, serving as a light source.

Judging from the firelight emitted by the fireball, Lin Yaoxie discovered that the cave was very deep. Thinking of this, he manipulated three zombies to lead the way into the cave, while he led the remaining seven zombies to follow the lead zombies.

Don't say Lin Yaoxie is afraid of death; rather, this cave is truly eerie. Rushing in is not brave, but foolish.

As Lin Yaoxie stepped into the cave...

"Waaaaah... I died so unjustly..."

Chapter Eleven: Stealing the Treasure

"Aaaaaah, I won't let you get away with this..."

"Waaaaah...why..."

The mournful cries, like those of vengeful ghosts and demons, rang in Lin Yaoxie's ears, causing his head to throb with pain, as if countless evil spirits were crying and wailing around him.

"By order of the Supreme Lord Laozi, may all evil be banished!!" Lin Yaoxie, enduring his headache, waved his hand, and a talisman appeared in his hand and spontaneously combusted.

As the talisman burned, shockwaves rippled outwards like a pebble thrown into a lake, instantly silencing the screams of the vengeful spirits as if they had never happened.

"A wailing ghost? There are many wronged souls here." Lin Yaoxie thought to himself, and without further hesitation, led the zombies quickly into the cave.

When Lin Yaoxie reached the deepest part of the cave, he was shocked. Hundreds of corpses were scattered haphazardly inside, including the old and the young, men and women. These corpses emitted a nauseating stench, and corpse beetles slithered around them. Some of the corpses had even begun to rot. Most terrifyingly, the blood from these corpses flowed out and pooled together, forming a pool of blood that emitted a bloody smell that made people almost faint.

Lin Yaoxie's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he stepped forward. Suppressing his discomfort, he casually examined several corpses and found that they indeed had traces of zombie bloodsucking on their necks.

"After the zombies sucked blood, they certainly wouldn't have moved all these corpses into the cave, especially since this cave is man-made. It's obvious that they were prepared in advance. This is clearly a man-made disaster, not the zombies' fault at all," Lin Yaoxie muttered to himself.

Now, the doubts only grew stronger. Who on earth would team up with zombies to slaughter an entire village, and even spare infants in their swaddling clothes?

Just as Lin Yaoxie was pondering, footsteps and conversations suddenly came from outside the cave.

Lin Yaoxie raised an eyebrow, immediately put away the ten zombies, looked around, and when he couldn't find a place to hide, he took out an invisibility talisman and used it to enter an invisible state.

The invisibility talisman and other talismans were given to him by Mao Fang for protection. There were quite a few of them, so Lin Yaoxie didn't stand on ceremony and started using them directly.

This invisibility talisman lasts for one hour. After using it, you can enter an invisible state, but there is a drawback: you cannot move, otherwise you will expose yourself.

The footsteps grew clearer, and the conversation abruptly stopped. Two figures entered the area, ignoring the hundreds of corpses, and instead casually approached the blood pool to examine it.

When Lin Yaoxie saw the two people, his eyes narrowed. They were the two Taoist priests he had met at the inn.

"Master, how long will that thing be soaked in this pool of blood?" At this moment, the young Taoist asked the middle-aged Taoist next to him.

The middle-aged Taoist priest glanced at the blood pool and couldn't help but laugh loudly, "It will only be successful if you soak in the blood pool for seventy-seventy-nine days. At that time, my Hundred Ghosts Sect will once again regain its former glory, hahaha."

"At that time, there will be no place in the world that you, Master, cannot go," the young Taoist priest flattered.

The middle-aged Taoist priest nodded, quite pleased, and said, "When the time comes, I will lead you to conquer the world. Anyone who dares to disrespect me will be wiped out!"

Lin Yaoxie listened from the side without reacting, but wondered what the two Taoists were talking about, and how they dared to speak so arrogantly.

Thinking of this, Lin Yaoxie narrowed his eyes slightly and opened the personal templates of the middle-aged Taoist and the young Taoist.

Character: Xu Changqing.

"Identity: Leader of the Hundred Ghosts Sect".

“Cultivation level: Qi Refining Level 3”

Skills: Ghost King Scripture, Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts, Soul Devouring of a Hundred Ghosts, Siege of a Hundred Ghosts, Impact of a Hundred Ghosts, Slash of a Hundred Ghosts, Exorcism Technique, Ghost Training Technique, Ghost Summoning Technique, Corpse Driving Technique.

"Treasures: [Hundred Ghosts Banner] (B-grade item, under construction) [White Bone Cage] (C-grade item) [White Bone Sword] (D-grade item)"

Upon seeing this, Lin Yaoxie's lips curled up slightly, and his eyes gleamed with a sharp light. Good heavens, he had so many skills, and there was even a B-grade item among the treasures.

The reward for the quest in the previous chapters, the Ten Ghost Banner, has been changed to the Ghost-Raising Box.

Then Lin Yaoxie opened the young Taoist's profile again.

"Person: Zhu Yongsheng"

"Identity: Disciple of the Hundred Ghosts Sect".

Cultivation Level: Beginner Cultivator [Lower than Qi Refining Level 1]

Skills: Ghost King Sutra, Exorcism Technique, Corpse Driving Technique.

Treasure: Common Peach Wood Sword (No Level Required)

Compared to the middle-aged Taoist priest, the young Taoist priest Zhu Yongsheng was pitifully weak, so Lin Yaoxie simply ignored him.

"A B-grade item, the Hundred Ghost Banner? It seems to be the thing from the Blood Pool? Seeing such a treasure, it's obviously not something to be missed. However, this middle-aged Taoist priest, Xu Changqing, is only at the third level of Qi Refining, which is really troublesome." Lin Yaoxie muttered to himself. That's right, he had his eye on the Hundred Ghost Banner and Xu Changqing's Taoist skills, so he had the idea of ​​snatching it.

Don't say that Lin Yaoxie is bad or evil. This is normal. When you step into the world of cultivation, the laws of the world have already changed. The laws of cultivation are extremely cruel jungle laws. The strong are kings, and there is no right or wrong.

What made Lin Yaoxie hesitate was that the middle-aged Taoist Xu Changqing was a cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining. Although he was much weaker than Mao Fang, who was at the eighth level of Qi Refining, he was still difficult to deal with, since he was only at the first level of Qi Refining.

The only way now is to use our trump card to catch him off guard and deliver a fatal blow!

Chapter Twelve: The Art of Soul Searching!

Thinking of this, Lin Yaoxie took out a silver token. This was a silver talisman, one of the treasures of Maoshan. It originally belonged to Mao Fang, but he gave it to Lin Yaoxie.

According to Mao Fang, the Taoist magic stored in this silver token is very powerful; it is one of the advanced Taoist techniques of Maoshan, namely the [Tai Chi Exorcising Evil].

"But if I kill him now, who knows how the Hundred Ghost Banner will be produced, or what I need to do during these forty-nine days?" Just as he was about to make his move, Lin Yaoxie suddenly thought that if he killed this guy, what would he do if the Hundred Ghost Banner needed to be soaked in the blood pool for forty-nine days? Besides, he was very envious of the many Taoist techniques of the Hundred Ghost Sect.

Thinking of this, Lin Yaoxie stopped his attack and took out an ancient book to read it seriously.

"You have the skill book. Do you want to learn the Soul Searching Technique?" The system's voice rang in Lin Yaoxie's ears.

Lin Yaoxie certainly studied it. He had specifically taken out this Taoist manual to learn this technique so that he could forcibly search Xu Changqing using soul-searching methods. Although it would most likely cause Xu Changqing's soul to dissipate, so what? It didn't matter to him.

……

Three days have passed.

In recent days, Xu Changqing and his apprentice used corpse-driving techniques to move all the corpses out of the cave and throw them off the cliff. After that, they lived in the cave to prevent anyone from breaking in.

As for Lin Yaoxie, he left the cave while they were out that day and quietly found a secluded place on the mountain to hide.

By now, Lin Yaoxie had completely mastered the Soul Searching Technique and quietly headed towards the cave.

At this moment, Xu Changqing and his disciple were still meditating and cultivating inside the cave, unaware that anyone had entered, because Lin Yaoxie used a lightness technique and floated into the cave like a breeze.

Upon entering the innermost part of the cave, Xu Changqing, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes. He sensed Lin Yaoxie's breathing and aura.

"Go!" Lin Yaoxie released twenty zombies without hesitation as soon as Xu Changqing opened his eyes, ordering them to pounce on Xu Changqing.

"How dare you!!" Xu Changqing was shocked and furious as twenty blue-faced, fanged zombies rushed towards him. He hurriedly stood up, took out a square bone cage the size of a palm from his pocket, and threw it at the zombies.

The bone prison swelled in the wind, transforming into a massive white bone prison several meters in size, covered in runes, which crashed down and enveloped the twenty zombies. No matter how much these incredibly strong zombies pounded on it, they could not break free of the prison.

"Palm Thunder!" Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Yaoxie raised his right hand, palm facing outwards. A burst of lightning crackled across his palm, and with a snap, a Z-shaped bolt of lightning shot out from his palm.

In the critical moment, Xu Changqing rolled away to avoid the lightning bolt, but his apprentice Zhu Yongsheng was directly struck by the lightning and turned into a charred corpse, falling to the ground unconscious.

"Hundred Ghosts Slash!!" Xu Changqing roared, and suddenly, a gust of cold wind appeared, and the sounds of ghosts wailing and gods howling rang out. Countless black shadows condensed into a black blade and slashed fiercely at Lin Yaoxie.

The blade flashed, its sharpness fully revealed, and a gust of wind from it made Lin Yaoxie's skin sting painfully.

Seeing this, Lin Yaoxie finally made his move, taking out a Bagua mirror and tossing it above his head. With a quick hand seal, the Bagua mirror instantly emitted a golden light.

A golden beam of light, as thick as a thumb, shot out from the Bagua mirror, piercing through the black blade shadow and continuing its trajectory toward Xu Changqing.

puff!

Xu Changqing managed to dodge a fatal blow at the crucial moment, but his abdomen was still pierced by the golden beam of light. Blood gushed out of the wound, along with shattered internal organs!

Lin Yaoxie was only able to injure Xu Changqing instantly because of the advantage of his magical artifact. Well, he's rich and can do whatever he wants.

"Who exactly are you? We have no grudge against each other, why do you want to kill me?" Xu Changqing covered his abdominal wound with a pale face, and secretly made a hand seal with his other hand.
