Chapter 81 The Journey to Wangshan (Part 10)

"But why don't the gods just destroy those things outside?"

A group of burly men: "."

Su Yixuan, always quick to pour cold water on things, followed up with another sarcastic remark: "The gods are like clay bodhisattvas crossing the river; they can't protect us for much longer!"

Upon arriving at the back of the mountain, sure enough, all those ghostly things had retreated back into their caves.

Su Yixuan looked up at the sun. Time was running out; she needed to finish quickly.

The group approached the cave in a surrounding manner, but there was no reaction from underground, probably because they dared not come out easily under the scorching sun.

Su Yixuan told the four of them to stay put, while she went forward alone to set up the formation.

There weren't many other things in the backpack, but there were a lot of jade scraps, all of which were scraps I'd taken from my second nephew, which I'd originally intended to use for practice.

Arranged in a certain position, the small bronze mirror was hung on the locust tree next to it. When the sunlight shone down vertically, a colorful cone was revealed upside down on the ground.

Zhang Wenbing stared wide-eyed. Was this a reflection of light? Or a refraction?
After setting up the formation, Su Yixuan swaggered towards the cave entrance and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Dinner's ready!"

Sure enough, the zombies inside the cave became restless due to the stimulating smell of human presence.

The first to jump out was a mummy wrapped in thick bandages, staring with scarlet eyes without eyelids and baring buck teeth without lips, lunging at Su Yixuan.

Just as Gao Dayong was about to rush forward, he saw Su Yixuan wave her hand behind her back.

He was acutely aware that he was being disliked again.

Sure enough, just as the mummy was halfway to pounce, a golden light pierced straight down from above.

With a piercing scream, a wisp of black energy was drawn from the top of the head and disappeared into the bronze mirror, which then shook merrily.

The mummy vanguard was destroyed, and no news was received inside the cave. Two more were sent out to scout the situation, but they never returned and were refined by the evil energy.

Later, even the zombies braved the scorching sun to rush out.

Su Yixuan applied two Swiftness Talismans in succession, managing to dart around the formation, and casually tossed the useless rotting corpses and bones out of the formation.

The four police officers exchanged glances and silently carried the body, suppressing their nausea.

That taste, that feel—unforgettable!

It must be said that this method is dangerous but effective; in no time, no zombies were willing to come out anymore.

There probably aren't many left, but we still haven't seen any bronze zombies.

Su Yixuan felt that she needed to take a risk.

Just as she was about to enter the cave, a large hand grabbed her shoulder. Su Yixuan turned around in surprise and saw that it was Mo Lijiu.

"How did you get in?"

"Walked in."

"Impossible!" Su Yixuan pointed to the bronze mirror above her head: "I made it. No one can come in without my permission!"

Mo Lijiu chuckled and ruffled Su Yixuan's hair: "Silly girl!"

"???!!!"

He habitually pulled out a talisman: "Bold fiend, retreat at once!"

Mo Lijiu casually pulled the talisman from her fingertip: "Alright, I was just kidding! Although I'm not entirely satisfied with my current physical body, a soul form is inconvenient after all, so I'll just have to make do! You can't destroy it for me!"

"You, you are Ghost King Li Jiu?" Su Yixuan asked incredulously.

"It is indeed the one!"

Good heavens, how could that letter have such power? It actually summoned the Ghost King?

She remembers writing only a few big characters: "If you keep making trouble, you're finished!"

"Don't worry, I won't interfere in human affairs. I just want to see you!"

Su Yixuan blushed: "Why are you looking at me? Do I look like a flower? Besides, are you really alright in this state?"

"As long as I don't use demonic power."

"Fine, I can't understand what you big shots are thinking. But don't bother me while I'm doing my work!" Su Yixuan emphasized, while Li Jiu merely raised an eyebrow.

Seeing that he really didn't intend to interfere in her affairs, Su Yixuan turned around: "Mo Lijiu, is he still there?"

Li Jiu's thin lips were tightly pressed together, indicating he was not happy.

"Never mind, it's just a wisp of your divine consciousness anyway."

"As long as you know!"

I knew that the boss had an unpredictable temper and wasn't easy to get along with.

They entered the cave as if they knew the way well, and sure enough, most of the cave was already empty.

He affixed another speed talisman and cautiously approached the place where he had been attacked before. Suddenly, a cold wind carrying a putrid smell rushed towards him.

Su Yixuan dodged to the side and ran away.

The bronze zombie knew it wasn't safe outside and was about to give up if it couldn't catch up, but Su Yixuan wouldn't let it retreat.

A lightning-attracting talisman struck it, leaving it charred on the outside and tender on the inside.

Enraged, the bronze zombie disregarded its own bloodied and mangled body and roared as it gave chase.

It was thick-skinned and tough, and could still chase after them to seek revenge. Poor two of its henchmen had been completely charred and were spitting black smoke.

Su Yixuan breathed a sigh of relief after barely escaping the cave entrance.

Seeing that Su Yixuan had stopped running, the bronze zombie assumed she couldn't escape and lunged at her back.

"Hey!"

White smoke rose from the bronze zombie's arm. It quickly looked up at the bronze mirror, realized its power, and turned to flee.

How could Su Yixuan let it go back into the cave? She took out the venom and threw it out, which pierced the bronze zombie's right leg. She pulled it back with all her might, and the rotting flesh liquefied and flowed all over the ground.

The bronze zombie let out a mournful cry and collapsed to the ground, while the bronze mirror relentlessly drew out the evil energy from its body.

He soon stopped breathing.

Su Yixuan plopped down on the ground: "A thing that doesn't even have three souls and seven spirits is so strong, I almost killed it!"

"Snapped!"

Li Jiu's toes, clad in leather shoes, seemed to have stepped on something, and he rubbed them hard a few times.

Seeing Su Yixuan looking over, he said gently, "Just stepping on a little ant."

How can stepping on a tiny ant make such a loud noise?
However, since the big shot said it was a small ant, she had no choice but to assume that he had stepped on a small ant.

The owner behind the little ant was furious. She had painstakingly searched for such a blessed place, and it seemed she could cultivate more bronze or even white-haired creatures, but it was all gone.

Her blood-red fingernails dug fiercely into her palm: That brat, she must die!

After moving all the remains, Gao Dayong and the other three found a place to vomit.

When they returned, they were deathly pale and looked no better than zombies.

Upon first glance, she noticed the tall man following behind Su Yixuan. Whether it was her imagination or not, Mo Lijiu seemed to have an even stronger aura than before.

"Mr. Mo, what are you doing here?"

Mo Lijiu responded with an "Mmm".

Su Yixuan waved her hand: "You don't need to worry about him. I have some things to take care of now. Have the villagers come and identify the bodies. If no one claims them, burn them on the spot. It would be best to persuade the villagers to burn them all. After all, they are just missing limbs and can't protect them. Instead, they might be used by the cult again!"

Having witnessed Su Yixuan's prowess, Gao Dayong was completely convinced and nodded repeatedly.

Su Yixuan didn't say anything more and turned to walk up the mountain. She wondered if the old tortoise counted as merit points.
Just as I reached the top of the mountain, I couldn't help but shout angrily, "Who's so blind as to step on the memorial tablet and flatten it!"

"I stepped on it by accident, and it wasn't placed in the right spot!" Mo Lijiu confessed frankly without any remorse.

"..."
