I'm modifying myself into the ultimate demon.

Chapter 209 Corpse Child, Advances to Flying Zombie!!!

"The fusion progress is finally 100%. It seems the time has come to advance to the Azure Demon King."

Chen Mo glanced around the dense forest. It was large enough and close to the edge of the village, plus tonight was a stormy night. As long as he didn't create too much ghostly aura, they shouldn't be able to find him.

It's just that my second brother isn't here, and he didn't bring the two kids with him. Otherwise, it would be much safer to have someone on guard duty.

Given the current difficult conditions, we have no choice but to make do.

Just then——

hum!
A peculiar vibration, similar to a concussion, resonated in Chen Mo's mind, causing a moment of dizziness. Immediately afterward, Chen Mo felt a transformation occurring within his spirit.

A splitting headache.

Even with Chen Mo's fierce nature, he had to cover his head and open his mouth wide to endure it.

Click!

The wisp of red life energy within the natal incense burner in the sea of ​​consciousness began to surge wildly, gradually covering the golden natal incense burner.

This natal incense burner represents the foundation of Chen Mo's vengeful ghost soul. As the covering continues, Chen Mo's ghostly life energy gradually changes from gold to red.

With each step forward, Chen Mo felt as if his spirit was being torn apart.

It hurt so much.

To avoid making a sound, Chen Mo had to bite down on the root of a large tree, grimacing as he endured the pain. At the same time, he internally observed the changes within his sea of ​​consciousness, watching the red life energy gradually cover it…

When only half of it was covered, Chen Mo's consciousness became somewhat hazy, as if he would fall asleep if he wasn't careful.

He told himself he couldn't fall asleep...

We are at a critical juncture in this breakthrough, and this place is inherently unsafe. If I lose consciousness, the consequences will be unimaginable.

After a long back-and-forth struggle, the splitting headache finally subsided.

call!
Chen Mo let out a long sigh of relief, then lay exhausted on the ground, letting the heavy rain pour down.

Although he was completely exhausted, Chen Mo had a smile on his lips.

"Finally, I've advanced to the Blue Demon level."

Having regained some of his strength, Chen Mo sat cross-legged and examined his inner sea of ​​consciousness.

The natal incense burner had grown considerably, transforming into a bright red one. A single red incense stick was inserted inside. Although the incense stick had only just begun to emerge, it was undeniably red.

Between the opening and closing of consciousness, there is an extremely strong spiritual power.

This spiritual power can directly obliterate the golden demon.

Chen Mo skillfully circulated his spiritual power, allowing him to separate his soul from his body at any time. His spiritual form was no longer afraid of wind and sun, and could even manifest in broad daylight, appearing visually identical to his physical form.

"The Green Ghost is indeed powerful. When I was still a golden ghost, my ability to leave my body was still quite immature. I was somewhat afraid of sunlight and fire, and I was also not used to storms. Now that my spirit has left my body, it is almost like a physical entity. It can withstand all storms. It can also leave its physical body for a long time. It can even exist independently."

"No wonder Zhuang Xiaoyue's vengeful spirit and her original body could exist separately back then; this is the unique ability of the Qing Ghost."

You could even... open a ghost town.

“I remember that the supernatural powers of the Ghost Field are extremely profound, capable of constructing near-physical entities. Similar to my godmother’s dream world, but not quite as realistic. I’ll give it a try.”

Chen Mo's soul returned to his body, and he stood up, slightly raising his hand to circulate the power of the Azure Demon. He opened a ghost field with a diameter of three meters.

Being in the Ghost Field, Chen Mo felt that he could be in charge of this area.

He could manipulate the ants and insects within the area at will, making them operate according to his own will. His mental power could alter the living beings within the ghost field. If anyone was in the ghost field, he could also control them at will.

This kind of control is not a one-on-one appeal, but a higher level of collective control and transformation.

Extremely mysterious.

"It seems I'm just the master of this place, like a farm owner. I can't completely change the existing rules of this place. I can only influence sentient beings and make them have perceptual illusions."

After repeated testing, Chen Mo gained a more profound understanding of the effects of the ghost field.

The purpose of a ghost field is ultimately to create an illusion for people, making them believe it to be real.

It's sufficient for dealing with conscious beings.

"Unfortunately, it's useless against flying zombies of the same level. In other words... although I am a Ghost of the Azure Dragon, if I encounter that flying zombie in the temple, my Ghost Field will be useless. But my Other Shore Flower Curse has also changed. As long as this flying zombie is a one-marked one, I can kill it directly with a Blood Curse."

With his improved skills, Chen Mo gained confidence.

"As my cultivation level increases, my cheat ability also improves. Next time I see that flying zombie, I should be able to deconstruct it directly."

Thinking of this, Chen Mo stopped practicing and then picked up the bottles and jars on the ground to leave. When he saw the red jade bottle, he picked it up again to examine it.

"What's inside? It's so heavy!"

Click.

Chen Mo uncorked the bottle and looked closer. He saw that it was filled with a sticky, red liquid. It also had a peculiar fragrance that made him feel very comfortable.

"Hmm, this aura is very similar to the Crimson Moon Drop. Could this be the Crimson Moon Drop?"

Chen Mo has a deep understanding of the Red Moon Drops, and is very familiar with their taste and aroma.

However, these liquids had undergone some kind of modification, seemingly mixed with other liquids, resulting in a different taste. This was why Chen Mo was unsure.

But that's okay……

Chen Mo opened the control panel.

[A deconstructable object detected?]

[Should we deconstruct it?]

Chen Mo immediately had an idea:

Deconstruction.

Deconstruction does not require consuming the essence of the original solution.

Moreover, Chen Mo has a large amount of original essence stored in his collection, so it doesn't matter if he consumes a portion of it.

However, each deconstruction causes significant pain to the brain, and it is currently unknown whether there are any other side effects besides pain.

As pain swept through his brain, lines of text appeared.

【Name: Pregnancy Nourishing Liquid】

【Category: Red Moonlight】

[Function: To stabilize and nourish the fetus.]

[Note: This product incorporates the red moon drop formula, which has been diluted to reduce its potency and make it suitable for infants and pregnant women. It contains no other harmful ingredients.]

[Tip: You can use this as a monthly supplement.]

After reading all the information, Chen Mo was stunned.

"Red Moon Drops are extremely rare. Previously, only my godmother had them, and even that Rakshasa mother's red moon essence was stolen from my godmother. There are actually Red Moon Drops here... Moon Worship Cult."

"It seems that the Red Moon Mirror, the family's protective artifact, is related to the Moon Worship Cult. Perhaps the Red Moon Mirror itself came from the Moon Worship Cult. In that case, it's not surprising that the Moon Worship Cult's outpost produced some red moon drops."

"That's quite a lot. Even if it's diluted, it's at least equivalent to dozens or even hundreds of drops of Red Moon Drops. This Manager Zhou... is really efficient."

Chen Mo didn't hesitate and immediately opened the jade bottle, drinking it in large gulps.

This red moon drop is a really good thing.

It can greatly enhance the zombie's cultivation level.

This is a theory developed by Grand Tutor Pang, which Chen Mo proved when he was in Nanzhou... This method is very effective.

Gurgling.

As Chen Mo finished drinking the nourishing elixir from the jade bottle, he clearly felt a significant improvement in his zombie cultivation. His entire body was rapidly ascending.

"My zombie cultivation seems to be about to evolve into the ninth golden zombie pattern."

Chen Mo immediately sat down cross-legged and began to activate the stiffness pattern to accelerate the absorption of the red moon droplets in the pregnancy nourishing liquid.

Logically, ordinary zombies shouldn't be able to absorb the red moon drops so violently, but Chen Mo has no problem. After all, his spirit has reached the level of the Azure Ghost, allowing him to easily control the changes in his physical body.

More than an hour later, the ninth stiff mark appeared.

He's only one step away from breaking through the flying zombie barrier.

Just then, Jiangwen sensed a massive barrier.

That must be the barrier to breaking through the flying zombies.

The zombie barrier was extremely sturdy; even with Chen Mo's spiritual power reaching the level of the Azure Demon, he couldn't break through it. After several failed attempts to break through, Chen Mo gave up.

He dug a hole and buried the other bottles and jars. He also buried a discolored, corpse-like infant not far away.

"If we can successfully get Manager Li to take the blame tonight, then we can have Manager Zhou steal a few more red jade bottles. There are just too many treasures in this temple."

Chen Mo patted the mud off his body and then walked out of the dense forest.

As soon as I returned to Workshop No. 4, I saw a lot of workers gathered in the workshop hall, all of them looking nervous.

The other three sculptors, in particular, were in a state of panic.

Bald Liu Wei said, "The Attendant is angry tonight. He said someone stole a treasure from the Temple. He's searching each workshop right now. Our workshop number four will be next soon."

The old woman, Zhou Xia, spoke up: "The masters and workers in our No. 4 workshop are always diligent and honest. There is absolutely no way they would steal anything from the temple. I'm not afraid of being searched, but I'm afraid that the Attendant might get angry and kill all of us innocent people with a single blow."

Fatty Li Daliang chimed in, "This kind of thing has happened before. The Attendant can indeed implicate innocent people. Damn it, I really don't know which blind fool had to steal something from the temple. They're trying to kill us."

Chen Mo ignored everyone's comments and went straight to the back room.

Xu Liang was under control and naturally had nothing to say; he was like a transparent person at the moment.

Yang Yan, on the other hand, was very nervous. Upon seeing Chen Mo return, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Did things go smoothly?"

Chen Mo said, "It went smoothly. Manager Zhou did not disappoint."

Yang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Chen Mo's hands.

Chen Mo understood what the other party meant, so he said, "The waiters will be searching soon, and I didn't bring it with me. I buried it outside. I'll dig it up for you when things calm down."

"Young Master Mo is very thoughtful; I was too hasty. Thank you very much," Yang Yan quickly said, bowing with his hands clasped in thanks.

Chen Mo waved his hand dismissively: "It's nothing serious. Before that waiter even comes to search our place, someone will probably step in and take the blame."

Yang Yan: "Young Master, you've even found someone to take the blame?"

Chen Mo: "Otherwise, how could I dare to let Manager Zhou steal so many things at once?"

……

Outside the workshop courtyard, a woman dressed in a gray ruqun (a traditional Chinese dress) and wearing a veil went from workshop to workshop to search.

After searching several workshops without finding the missing item, the woman in gray grew angry. "Damn it! That bastard is so audacious as to steal even my belongings! These people are dishonest; they should all be killed!"

This is the second time.

Just then, a manager rushed over to report: "Sir, there's a situation in our courtyard."

brush.

The woman in gray glared at the fat shopkeeper: "What's going on?"

The fat shopkeeper said, "I just received orders from the waiter to go to each room and wake up the shopkeepers. But I found that Shopkeeper Li had run away."

The woman in gray was taken aback: "Manager Li, you've run away?"

"Yes, it's the manager of Workshop No. 7 who didn't deliver enough puppets last time. The waiter ate his leg. Most likely, it was out of jealousy that he stole the things and ran away."

"He stole it! Very well!" The woman in gray flew into a rage, an extremely chilling aura emanating from her. "You must bring him back. I, this servant, will personally tear him to pieces."

"Yes."

……

Overnight, the whole village was talking about Manager Li.

"I never expected that the thief was Manager Li."

"This guy has lost both his legs, yet he's become so wicked. I never would have guessed."

"He fitted himself with two wooden prosthetics. I even saw him walking very fast."

"Old Li is finished."

"..."

……

Three days later, all the managers who had gone out to search for Manager Li returned, but they hadn't found him. They gathered in the courtyard to rest, but their hearts were filled with unease. They feared that the Master would blame them for their incompetence and have them beaten to death.

"That old Li is a real scoundrel. It's one thing if he doesn't want to live, but he even dragged us down with him."

"Why don't these beasts just die?"

"They're not just beasts, they're worse than beasts."

"..."

Standing in the crowd, Manager Zhou secretly wiped the cold sweat from his brow, thinking to himself: Chen Mo really did arrange for someone to take the blame. Old Li was probably also under his control. Forced to flee in the dead of night, he ended up taking the fall. That Chen Mo is ruthless. I need to get him to release me from this control as soon as possible, otherwise I feel too insecure.

During everyone's break, Manager Zhou pretended to go to the workshop to urge the work to be completed. After arriving at Workshop No. 4 and finding Chen Mo, he went to a secluded corner.

"Sir, it's been three days. Shouldn't you release the control over me now?"

Chen Mo coldly replied, "What's the rush? What if I release you from my control and you go to the waiter to report me?"

Manager Zhou's face immediately fell: "Then what do you want to do?"

Chen Mo said, "I will release you from control when I leave here."

Manager Zhou almost cried, "Sir, that's not what you said before."

Chen Mo's expression turned cold. "Plans can't keep up with changes. I'm just adapting to the times. Either you die now, or you wait until I leave. The choice is yours."

Sensing that Chen Mo was angry, Manager Zhou cursed Chen Mo's ancestors in his heart, but put on a smiling face: "Don't be angry, sir. I'll do whatever you say. But the envoy is in a bad mood right now, so please don't make me steal anything. That would be too stressful, not something a human being would do. At least let this storm pass before we talk about it."

Chen Mo felt it was inappropriate to force the issue, so he said, "Now that Manager Li has run away, Workshop No. 7 is short of a manager. Go and tell that waiter to let me take his place."

Manager Zhou could only agree, "I can only try my best to put in a good word for you, but I can't guarantee whether it will work out. After all, you're new here and haven't made any contributions yet. It would be much easier if you had made some contributions."

Chen Mo considered for a moment, "That's easy. Everyone's looking for Manager Li, right? I'll just bring him here later."

Manager Zhou was taken aback. "Is Old Li dead or alive?"

“He’s alive now, but I’ll die if I go there. Just wait until I bring Manager Li here, then introduce me to that waiter.”

"Yes, yes!" Manager Zhou was terrified and didn't dare to breathe.

……

Dusk the next day.

Manager Zhou led Chen Mo back to the village and headed towards the temple courtyard. Chen Mo carried Manager Li's corpse in one hand and a bundle in the other, containing bottles and jars that Chen Mo had dug up from the forest.

Shopkeeper Zhou looked at the pitiful corpse and felt a chill run down his spine. He thought to himself: If I don't obey, I'm afraid Old Li will end up like me. I really don't know where this guy named Chen Mo came from, this monster, to be so bold as to even dare to set his sights on the waiter.

A month ago, Chen Mo really wouldn't have dared to go to that temple.

After all, there's a flying zombie inside.

That flying zombie could kill Chen Mo with just a little effort.

But things are different now.

Chen Mo has entered the realm of the Azure Ghost, and with the addition of the golden hairy zombie at the Great Perfection of Nine Sticks, his chances of victory are extremely high as long as he avoids direct confrontation with the flying zombie. If the flying zombie is only at the first level of cultivation, Chen Mo will not be afraid of a direct confrontation.

Moreover, Chen Mo came here to uncover the location of the Moon Worship Cult's headquarters and find that piece of incorruptible bone.

Some risks are still necessary to take.

Otherwise, they can only wait for the demonic fetus to kill them.

Before long, the two arrived at the temple gate.

call.

Manager Zhou took a deep breath: "Sir, it's not too late for you to regret it now. Once you enter this temple, you'll be facing the Attendant directly."

Chen Mo said, "Stop talking nonsense and lead the way. Remember what you just said. If you say the wrong thing, you'll die."

"I remember, I remember." Manager Zhou nodded repeatedly, then led the way into the courtyard.

The gate to the courtyard wasn't locked, so there was no problem getting inside.

As soon as Chen Mo crossed the threshold, he felt a chilling aura rush towards him.

There were hundreds of wooden puppets in the courtyard, varying in size, some only the size of an adult's fist, and others as tall as three feet.

The puppets were densely packed, forming a large square. Each puppet was covered in eerie runes and exuded a thick aura of death and ghosts. Some of the puppets even spoke, emitting a "hehehe" laugh.

Everywhere, ghosts howled and wolves howled, and a chilling wind blew.

Even Chen Mo felt a bad feeling and couldn't help but think to himself: Xu Liang had said before that the puppets outside were only half-finished products, and that they hadn't sealed away any zombies or ghosts. It seemed that the puppets here were finished products, and that they contained zombies or ghosts.

But... where did all these zombies and ghosts come from to be sealed by the waiter?
He recalled the flying zombie in official robes he had seen the first time he came here. At that time, the flying zombie in official robes hovered in the air, releasing a dense aura of death downwards, and displaying a pained expression. Could it be that... back then, zombies were sealing away ghostly zombies? Also, why are these wooden puppets placed directly in the courtyard?
Wouldn't that make theft very convenient?

Countless thoughts flashed through Chen Mo's mind.

"Master... Brother Chen, this way."

Manager Zhou's words interrupted Chen Mo's thoughts. He came to his senses and followed Manager Zhou along the corridor that ran along the wall. Before long, they arrived at the main entrance of the hall.

The hall was filled with the dim light of numerous oil lamps, and red paper figures were piled up on both sides. A red coffin stood directly in front of it. A woman dressed in a grey ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) knelt before the coffin, carving a wooden puppet in her hands. The carving knife made a "snap-snap" sound as it cut through the wood.

Upon seeing the woman in gray, Manager Zhou looked as if he had seen a demon and hurriedly knelt at the door, saying, "My lord, my brother Chen Mo, acting on your orders, led me in searching for several days and finally found that scoundrel Manager Li."

brush!
The woman in gray immediately stopped carving and turned around.

Chen Mo then saw the gray-clad woman's face. Although she wore a veil, he could roughly judge that she was quite beautiful with fair skin. However, her eyes emitted a scarlet light, indicating that she was quite powerful. He estimated that she might have reached the initial stage of the Azure Demon realm.

The next moment, the woman in gray put down the puppet in her hand and appeared at the door of the living room, where she saw Manager Li being carried by Chen Mo.

He reached out and checked Manager Li's breathing; he was dead.

The woman in gray immediately flew into a rage: "Damn thing, it's dead now. Did you get the item back?"

Chen Mo took out a bundle and handed it to the woman in gray.

The woman in gray took the bundle and opened it immediately, rummaging through it and ignoring the ordinary bottles and jars. She was clearly looking for the red jade bottle.

After searching through all her belongings without finding the jade bottle, the woman in gray glared at Chen Mo and asked, "Have you seen a red jade bottle?"

Chen Mo shook his head: "No."

The woman in gray flashed a cold light in her eyes: "Tell me what happened."

Chen Mo said, "The shopkeepers searched the entire Feihua Town before but couldn't find it. I figured that since Shopkeeper Li stole such an important item, he must be eager to sell it for a good price. And the best place nearby to sell it is naturally the Ghost Market. Plus, Shopkeeper Li lost both legs, and even with prosthetics, walking is still inconvenient. His appearance is quite distinctive, though. So I asked a few friends in the Ghost Market, and after some inquiries, we found such a person. When Shopkeeper Zhou and I arrived at the Ghost Market, Shopkeeper Li had already been killed. He left behind these items."

Manager Zhou hurriedly said, "Sir, this Brother Chen is the son of a friend of mine. He has been studying under Xu Liang for a long time and his carving skills are quite remarkable. He has done his best to help you, and has finally found Manager Li."

The woman in gray let out a long sigh, crushed Manager Li's head with one hand, then opened her blood-red maw and devoured him whole. With a few crunching sounds, he was eaten, leaving not even bones behind.

Having done all this, the woman in gray licked her lips and gave Chen Mo a sidelong glance: "You're quite capable of getting things done. What's your name?"

Chen Mo had no intention of staying here long, and since he wasn't particularly famous in the capital, he didn't hide anything: "My name is Chen Mo."

The woman in gray nodded: "Since Manager Zhou thinks so highly of you, I also find you pleasing to the eye. You can take over Manager Li's job and manage Workshop No. 7."

Chen Mo exclaimed, "Thank you for your kind words, Attendant. Please rest assured, Attendant, in addition to managing Workshop No. 7 and delivering the puppets in full, I will also inquire more at the Ghost Market and try to find the red jade bottle you mentioned."

Seeing that Chen Mo was so cooperative, the woman in gray was even more pleased. "You're quite sensible. Go now. If you find the Jade Bottle, come find me immediately."

"Yes."

Chen Mo cupped his hands in farewell and left with Manager Zhou.

As I walked through the corridor, I couldn't help but look back at the countless wooden puppets in the courtyard, listening to their wailing and chattering.

After leaving the temple, Manager Zhou expressed his admiration for Chen Mo, saying, "You're really something, sir. You actually managed to become the manager of Workshop No. 7."

Chen Mo was not happy. "I have to go out for a while. You take Xu Liang and the others to Workshop No. 7 to check in immediately."

"Yes."

……

Workshop No. 7.

In a room in the backyard.

Xu Liang, Chen Qian, and Yang Yan have moved here.

I was quite surprised to hear that Chen Mo had become the manager here.

Yang Yan murmured, "I really don't know what Young Master Mo did. He became the manager here in such a short time. His promotion speed is too fast. Could it be that Young Master Mo plans to stay here for a long time?"

Chen Qian also had this concern, "Recently, Young Master Mo has been getting closer and closer to Manager Zhou, and has even befriended the Attendant. Who knows if Young Master Mo has some bigger schemes? Husband, I also feel that Young Master Mo's ambition is growing. It's better to speak frankly about some things."

Yang Yan: "Is my wife worried that Young Master Mo won't cooperate with us?"

Chen Qian, being a member of the Moon Worship Cult, remained remarkably calm: "I trust Young Master Mo's character. I am worried that Young Master Mo may have ulterior motives. Getting too close to the Moon Worship Cult is probably not a good thing. A slight misstep could bring disaster."

Xu Liang was under control; although he had his own thoughts, he couldn't make decisions. He thought to himself: This Chen Mo is truly remarkable. In just two months, he's risen to the position of manager. He's already above me. If I lose my value to Chen Mo… I might be in mortal danger.

Thinking about this, Xu Liang felt uneasy and insecure.

Just then, a crisp "tap tap tap" sound came from outside.

But it was Chen Mo who walked in.

"Young Master Mo."

"Congratulations, Young Master Mo, on becoming the manager."

Chen Mo waved his hand dismissively: "We're all friends, no need to be so formal."

After saying that, Chen Mo took out a wooden puppet from his pocket and handed it to Chen Qian: "This is the color-changing corpse infant I brought earlier. I didn't give it to you before because things were tense. Now that the waiter has made me the manager, I suppose the heat has died down. So I brought it to you."

Chen Qian was shocked when she saw the discolored puppet of the corpse infant. Tears welled up in her eyes as she took it with trembling hands. She knelt down in front of Chen Mo and sobbed softly, "Thank you so much for your help, young master. You have given me a chance to recover. I will never forget this great kindness."

Yang Yan also knelt down, saying, "Thank you, young master, for saving my wife's life."

Chen Mo quickly helped the two up: "It's nothing, no need for that. Go to the bedroom and use this corpse infant. See if your condition has fully improved. If it hasn't, I'll find a way to get another corpse infant."

With tears in her eyes, Chen Qian agreed, then excitedly took the puppet to the bedroom. Yang Yan happily followed her in.

Chen Mo sat down in the living room, rubbing his temples as he pondered:

Inside the temple were hundreds of wooden puppets, each containing a sealed ghost. Some of these ghosts weren't fully sealed and could still talk and chat. The attendant was very interested in the nourishing elixir in the jade bottle, and also a flying zombie…

I really don't know what they're doing.

Now that I'm the manager, I can freely enter and leave the temple, which is convenient. I still need to go a few more times to figure out the situation. If only I could find out the location of the Moon Worship Cult's headquarters, then the Undying Bone should be there.

Besides, that flying zombie is a good thing.

If I can get my hands on the flying zombie, I'll be able to break through to the flying zombie realm very quickly.

However, the flying zombie was not seen in the temple just now. Could it be that the flying zombie is lying in the red coffin?
The temple didn't have a backyard or anything, just a main hall and bedrooms on either side. The flying zombie is most likely in the coffin.

'Judging from my Ghost Field power, that waiter's cultivation level should be at the initial stage of the Azure Ghost realm. The only hidden danger is that flying zombie; I need to see him and analyze him. If the flying zombie is also at the initial stage of the Red Life Aura realm, then it doesn't matter; I can directly take action and subdue the waiter first.'

"Chen Qian is a member of the Moon Worship Cult. If she comes with me to the Holy Temple, she should be able to discern some clues. Let's first check if Chen Qian's illness has fully recovered. Don't let my good intentions go to waste."

Chen Mo went to such lengths to find the discolored corpse baby for Chen Qian because he had a plan.

More than two hours passed without us realizing it.

Squeak.

The bedroom door opened.

But it was Chen Qian who came out.

Chen Mo turned around and saw that Chen Qian's complexion was much better than last time. She was no longer so haggard, but radiant and full of energy.

"Has Madam fully recovered?"

Chen Qian took the opportunity to bow to Chen Mo, saying, "I'm fully recovered. Thank you for your help, young master."

Yang Yan also bowed and thanked him.

Chen Mo smiled and said, "It's good that you've recovered, Madam. No need to be so polite."

Chen Qian and Yang Yan exchanged a glance. Then Chen Qian walked over and poured tea for Chen Mo, asking, "I have accomplished my purpose in coming here. But it seems that you have other plans, young master?"

Chen Mo took the teacup without saying a word.

Yang Yan then said, "Young master, please don't misunderstand. My wife and I have discussed it. You have helped us a great deal this time, and we really have no way to repay you. We would feel at ease if we could do something for you."

Chen Mo was waiting for these words...

He said, "We're all friends, so there's no need for such formalities. You've achieved your goal, so please leave another day. The things I need to do are quite dangerous, so I can't trouble you two any further."

Chen Qian cupped her hands in greeting, "Young master, you're too kind. Please tell me, I was also a member of the Moon Worship Cult, and even a core member. Perhaps I can be of help to you."

Yang Yan then expressed his opinion.

Chen Mo said, "Since that's the case, then I'll just say it directly. If Madam can help me, it will indeed save me a lot of trouble."

Hearing this, Chen Qian breathed a sigh of relief. "Please speak, young master."

Chen Mo: "I contracted a strange illness in my early years, which can only be cured by the Undying Bone. I previously used the discolored corpse infant to trade with Feng Si Niang to inquire about the Undying Bone. Feng Si Niang told me that a previous leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult had obtained a piece of the Undying Bone. The reason the Moon Worshiping Cult had kept it hidden for so many years was to forge this piece of the Undying Bone. I came here to find the headquarters of the Moon Worshiping Cult and to pursue that Undying Bone."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qian was greatly surprised and remained stunned for a while before saying, "So, young master, you also suffer from the same strange illness as me, and are a person with a tragic fate. The location of the Moon Worship Cult's headquarters... I don't know either. Although I was a core disciple before, my rank was not high enough to have access to the headquarters. However, I have heard a bit about the legend of the Undying Bone. Now that Feng Si Niang has also spoken of it, the news must be true."

"Does the young master intend to find out the location of the main altar through the servants here?"

Chen Mo: "I've been to the temple's courtyard and met that attendant. He's most likely a novice in the Qing Gui cultivation. Madam, do you think it's possible for someone of this attendant's level to know the location of the main altar?"

Chen Qian frowned and pondered for a while, then said, "If the other party is a Qing-She ghost, then it's possible. Besides, the Baiyue Sect has many outposts, each with different intentions. If we can figure out the purpose of this outpost, things should become clearer."

"How would you like me to help you, young master?"

Chen Mo didn't mince words, "If Madam is willing, I would like to take you with me to the temple when I hand over the puppet at the end of this month. There are many strange symbols and runes there. Madam is a member of the Moon Worship Cult, so I think she can see some clues."

Chen Qian thought it wasn't anything dangerous, so she agreed: "Young master saved my life, I will not hesitate to do this small favor."

"Thank you for your help, Madam."

"Young master, you are too kind."

In the following days, peace returned again.

Chen Mo took over Manager Li's position, so he no longer needed to personally assist with the carving every day. He only needed to inspect the work and urge the progress to be completed. He also needed to spend time visiting the villa where the managers lived, spending time with them, and chatting with them.

I also learned a lot about the situation through this.

This was a great thing for Chen Mo, but it was a disaster for the shopkeepers.

Chen Mo had only been gone a few days when all the other shopkeepers were afflicted by the Other Shore Flower Curse. They addressed Chen Mo as "Master" without a word.

Without him.

Chen Mo mainly disliked unexpected situations, so he simply took them all under control.

In this way, everything in the entire village, except for the temple, was under Chen Mo's control.

Although the situation was generally under control, Chen Mo noticed that the attendant almost never left the temple. He stayed inside the temple the whole time. Normally, the managers didn't go to the temple unless they had something to do.

Moreover, Chen Mo had never seen the flying zombie.

Until that night.

The flying zombie reappeared.

Hovering above the temple courtyard, it emitted a dense aura of death and tilted downwards. The flying zombie also showed an expression of pain.

Chen Mo knew that his opportunity had arrived.

We absolutely cannot miss this opportunity again.

So Chen Mo took the empty jade bottle and hurriedly approached the holy temple.

As Chen Mo approached the courtyard gate, he clearly saw the flying zombie.

It's a man.

He opened the panel and disassembled it.

A red, stiff line.

This relieved Chen Mo.

Without stopping, he walked through the temple gate with the jade bottle in his hand.

Chen Mo was greatly surprised when he saw the scene inside.

Beneath the zombie's body emerged numerous vengeful spirits and smaller zombies, which then poured into the puppet figures.

A male zombie?

Can you have a son?

The legendary corpse giving birth to a child?
Chen Mo pretended to deliver a jade bottle to the waiter, then walked around the corridor towards the living room, keeping an eye on the zombie. He didn't notice the zombie paying attention to him; the zombie was only focused on making painful expressions, giving birth to smaller zombies and vengeful spirits.

Even more amazing things happened:

The puppets actually moved. They all ran into the bedroom on the side of the living room, from which came a woman's piercing scream.

what happened?

What was that waitress screaming about?
wrong……

That's not the waiter's voice.

It belongs to another woman, not her.

Chen Mo had a vague feeling that he needed to find out what this Moon Worship Cult outpost was doing. Just as he was about to go to the bedroom to check, a gray-clad woman suddenly walked out of the bedroom.

Wearing a veil, he was indeed a waiter.

Chen Mo quickly stopped and bowed, saying, "Sir."

The waiter was furious: "Outsiders are not allowed in today, what are you doing here?"

Chen Mo cupped his hands and presented the jade bottle: "I just found this jade bottle in the Ghost Market, and I think it is extremely important to you, Attendant. So I brought it here in a hurry. You personally instructed me to bring it to you immediately if I found the jade bottle."

Seeing the jade bottle in Chen Mo's hand, the attendant breathed a sigh of relief, took the bottle, and asked, "Where's the liquid inside?"

"I was unaware that my friend from the ghost market brought it back empty. It was indeed sold at a high price by Manager Li."

The waiter fiddled with the jade bottle for a while, then said, "You've put in a lot of effort. Now, get out. Don't come in at this time again."

"Yes."

Chen Mo bowed and left.

The waiter, clutching the jade bottle, stared intently at Chen Mo's departing figure and whispered, "He's quite the conscientious one, but unfortunately you saw something you shouldn't have. Once this is over, you won't live any longer."

After saying this, the attendant took the jade bottle and hurriedly entered the room.

Chen Mo had just reached the courtyard gate when he felt a chill run down his spine.

After walking a few more steps, they suddenly heard the cry of a baby coming from inside the room. The woman's screams also stopped. The wooden puppets in the yard froze, all lifeless. The zombie landed on the ground, hopped into the living room, and then disappeared.

Such a sudden change, coupled with the loud cry of the baby, sent a chill down Chen Mo's spine.

It seems... everything that was set up tonight was for a woman to give birth?
Moreover, this woman gave birth to a child and absorbed hundreds of evil spirits?
A child born from a corpse?
Is there really such a saying?

The waiter had looked at me very fiercely just now, so I guessed he wasn't planning to keep me here.

Chen Mo shrugged and left immediately. Back in his room in the backyard of Workshop No. 7, Chen Mo closed the door and recounted what he had seen to Chen Qian, finally asking, "Does Madam know what this servant is doing?"

Chen Qian was also very surprised after hearing this, and it took her a while to recover: "This is a child born from a corpse. I know that the Moon Worshiping Church has some shady dealings. They specialize in helping high-ranking officials of the court to have children born from corpses. This is a big secret of the Moon Worshiping Church. I was almost beaten to death by the Moon Worshiping Church because I knew about this at one of their outposts. If it weren't for my husband's help, I wouldn't have been able to escape. Now that you know about this, I'm afraid that servant won't let you off the hook. Just now, the woman was giving birth, and the servant couldn't leave. My lord, I suggest we leave this place immediately."

I see……

Chen Mo's eyes gleamed brightly: "No need. I actually find it more interesting that way."

Chen Qian was shocked: "Young Master, that waiter is the Green Demon!"

Chen Mo chuckled coldly: "I am also a Qing Ghost. Besides, that waiter has already fallen for my spell and is no threat. Now it's that flying zombie that's troublesome..."

Just then...

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door.

Yang Yan spoke up: "Who?"

There was no answer from outside the door.

It was pitch black outside, but a figure could be vaguely seen standing outside the door, continuing to knock.

dong dong dong.

The crisp sound was particularly jarring in the silent night.

"She doesn't say a word, so annoying," Yang Yan muttered, then quickly went to open the door. With a creak, the door opened. Yang Yan suddenly gasped, as if struck by lightning, a chill running from head to toe.

What's standing outside the door? It's not a person at all.

It was clearly that flying zombie wearing a blue official robe and an official hat!
An extremely chilling aura swept over us, along with a pungent stench of decay.

"It's the flying zombie! Run!!" Yang Yan shouted desperately, his back pressed against the door.

"Jiejiejie~!"

A chilling scream came from outside the door.

Chen Qian glimpsed the zombie's face through the crack in the door and was immediately terrified, trembling all over and barely daring to breathe.

Chen Mo stood up at this moment, his eyes gleaming. "Hehehe... I've been waiting for you. Yang Yan, let him in! Once I kill that flying zombie, I will be... the flying zombie!"
