You were made to take the blame and go to jail, but you weren't made a master of both medicine

Qin Ran was thrilled upon hearing this.

The Twin Dragon Jade Pendant actually conceals a pure Yang energy.

He had no idea before.

He simply felt that the Twin Dragon Jade Pendant was the key to unlocking the Cold-Level Mysterious Cave.

Hidden within the icy, mysterious cave are ancient artifacts needed by the demonic path.

Without time to think, Qin Ran asked, "Senior, how exactly can I absorb the pure Yang energy within this jade pendant?"

Zhou Shunda smiled and said, "Wait a moment, I have a plan."

After he finished speaking, he went to the backyard of the farmhouse.

Zhou Shunda found seven living pine and cypress buds.

Then I collected some morning dew.

This is a secret technique passed down through generations of corpse drivers.

He then presented the seven tender buds and morning dew to Qin Ran.

"This is?"

"These are tender pine and cypress buds, combined with rootless morning dew, and a special incantation, which can draw in a ray of dawn sunlight into the jade pendant. You arrived early enough to catch the morning sun."

After Zhou Shunda finished speaking, he began chanting incantations and casting spells.

When the morning dew mixed with the tender pine and cypress buds, along with a ray of morning sun, touched the double dragon jade pendant, the pendant instantly burst forth with a dazzling golden light.

The golden light quickly entered Qin Ran's body.

At the same time, the pure yang energy contained within the jade pendant also entered his body.

Qin Ran's first reaction was a burning sensation coming from his dantian.

Immediately afterwards, he clearly felt the pure Yang energy within his body rapidly surging.

This power quickly merged with the ancient divine power within his body.

That feeling was magical.

There is a feeling of being reborn.

Zhou Shunda looked at Qin Ran: "How are you feeling?"

"Incredibly wonderful."

"To fully integrate this pure yang energy, you need to find a pure yin body to unite with. I don't need to teach you that, do I?"

Qin Ran clasped his hands in a fist and bow again: "Junior understands, thank you for your help, senior. My name is Qin Ran. If you need any help in the future, please feel free to come to me, and I will do my best to help you."

"That's enough. Also, zombies are yin in nature, so you'd better deal with them during the day. That will make things much easier."

"Thank you for the reminder, senior."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Qin Ran and the Ma brothers left.

After getting in the car, Ma Jitao drove straight to the Martial Arts Association.

"I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. Now we're not afraid anymore," Ma Jitao said with a smile.

Qin Ran also sighed with emotion: "It really proves the saying that there are many hidden masters among ordinary people. I have truly experienced this firsthand."

After speaking, Qin Ran looked down at the double dragon jade pendant around his neck.

Upon closer inspection, the jade pendant appears dull and lackluster compared to before.

Qin Ran never imagined that this jade pendant contained a powerful energy.

That's good, the energy has been absorbed.

His cultivation level improved significantly.

"Let's go find Zhou Jingshen now. I wonder if he'll be willing to summon zombies to deal with us!" said Ma Jisong, who was sitting in the back row.

His concerns were not unfounded.

The zombie king under Zhou Jingshen's command could not be exposed to the light of day.

That was the Zhou family's secret weapon.

He dared not show himself in front of outsiders.

"I can't worry about that now. I'll force him when we get to the Martial Arts Association."

About an hour later, Ma Jitao drove to the Martial Arts Association.

Qin Ran and the other two got out of the car.

The martial artist at the entrance recognized Qin Ran at a glance.

"Mr. Qin, what brings you here?"

"I've come to see Zhou Jingshen."

"Uh... I'll go inform them."

"No need for that trouble, I'll go find him myself." Qin Ran said, leading the Ma brothers inside.

"Zhou Jingshen, get out here! I'm here to settle accounts with you!" Qin Ran shouted as he walked.

The commotion quickly alerted An Yongchen.

He hurried downstairs.

"President Qin, no! Mr. Qin, good morning."

"Good my ass, I'm not good at all. Go and call Zhou Jingshen out."

An Yongchen looked troubled: "Is Chairman Zhou not here?"

Where did he go?

"Still at the manor from last night."

"That's even better. I'll go find him now." Qin Ran turned to leave, but then suddenly remembered something and looked at An Yongchen: "Old man An, you come with me."

"I won't go," An Yongchen waved his hand repeatedly.

"What? You're with Zhou Jingshen now? Are you worried that if you lead the way for me, he'll misunderstand and think you're one of my people?"

"That's not what I meant. My stance has always been neutral; I don't take sides with anyone."

Judging from last night's events, Qin Ran was no match for the zombie king.

If he gets too close to Qin Ran, Zhou Jingshen will definitely take his anger out on him.

But today Qin Ran came to settle scores with Zhou Jingshen again.

This also shows that he was well prepared.

It's still uncertain who will win and who will lose next.

In this situation, the best stance is to remain neutral.

But An Yongchen secretly supports Qin Ran.

Zhou Jingshen, like his father, is a wicked man. The martial arts world will not be at peace until the Zhou family is eliminated.

Qin Ran also saw through An Yongchen's little scheme.

"Old man An, I spent two days at the Martial Arts Association before, and you were the one I liked the most. You're not a bad person at heart; you're a qualified martial artist and a qualified elder. Your only flaw is that you're too cunning, a fence-sitter, and always swaying with the wind," Qin Ran teased.

An Yongchen smiled and said, "You're joking. My heart has always been with the Martial Arts Association."

"Alright, stop dawdling and take me to Zhou Jingshen right now."

"I wouldn't dare take you with me. If Zhou Jingshen sees us, he'll think I'm colluding with you."

Qin Ran said with his hands behind his back, "You saw what happened last night. Zhou Jingshen is essentially a member of the Black Martial Arts Association. Such a person is not qualified to serve as the president of the Xijing Martial Arts Association. His fate can be summed up in one word: death."

"That being said, but..."

"No buts, come with me. I need you to be my witness, and bring a few more people with you."

After Qin Ran finished speaking, she pulled An Yongchen away.

Several martial artists followed.

They drove to Red Tiger Manor.

This is Zhou Jingshen's lodging in Xi'an.

The car was stopped by the Zhou family as soon as it arrived at the manor gate.

Qin Ran got out of the car.

"It's you again! You dare to come here!"

"Get out of here if you don't want to die." Qin Ran said with a look of disdain.

"I should be saying that to you."

Qin Ran did not respond.

He raised his hand slightly.

The true energy struck the Zhou family's henchmen like a storm.

The group of people were instantly sent flying.

After Qin Ran got into the car, he told Ma Jitao to continue driving.

An Yongchen was feeling very uneasy.

Soon, the car drove onto a circular plaza.

Across the street is a magnificent villa.

Qin Ran and the others got out of the car.

"Zhou Jingshen, get out here."

Qin Ran's voice was deep and resonant.

Internal energy spread rapidly through the void.

Zhou Jingshen sensed something was wrong and immediately led his men outside.

He originally intended to kill Qin Ran tonight.

I didn't expect this kid to come over on his own initiative.

Zhou Jingshen stood with his hands behind his back: "You defeated opponent, who gave you the courage to act so presumptuously?"

"A defeated opponent? Did you even fight me? Just say I'm a defeated opponent. You're not that zombie; you'd be dead by now." Qin Ran said sinisterly.

"The zombie is a secret treasure of the Zhou family. It represents the Zhou family. If you lose to it, you lose to the Zhou family."

"I'm not going to waste my breath on you. Go and bring out the zombie. I'm definitely going to kill him this time."

"Hahaha, Qin Ran, you don't actually think that because it's daytime, the zombies' combat power will be greatly reduced, do you? It's true that the yang energy is stronger during the day than at night, but compared to your pure yang power, it's nothing. Even your pure yang power can't kill him, let alone this insignificant yang energy during the day." Zhou Jingshen said with a face full of disdain.

"Enough talk, bring out the zombies. I don't want to hear your nonsense."

"You're asking for death, so I'll grant your wish and kill you sooner rather than later, saving you the trouble of going to Bureau 749 for help."

Qin Ran smiled and said, "You probably don't know this, but I'm actually from Bureau 749."

"What did you say?" Zhou Jingshen asked in surprise.

"If I weren't a member of 749, why would they have joined forces with me to deal with your father and those gangsters? Brains are a good thing, but you don't know how to use them!"

Zhou Jingshen's expression changed drastically.

Qin Ran is actually from Bureau 749.

Killing him would probably cause trouble!

Zhou Jingshen clenched his fist, looking somewhat conflicted.

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to get rid of Qin Ran.

Anyway, the truth has already been revealed.

Only by killing these people can we ensure that there are no witnesses left to testify.

"No matter who you are, you will die today. And An Yongchen, you traitors, you actually colluded with Qin Ran, you just wait."

After saying that, Zhou Jingshen turned and left.

Qin Ran and the others waited quietly.

An Yongchen was extremely flustered.

He didn't want to get involved at all, but Qin Ran insisted on dragging him along.

Now look what's happened, he's gotten himself into trouble.

Before long, the weather changed.

A huge dark cloud suddenly appeared in the sky, which had been shining brightly.

Dark clouds loomed over Qin Ran and the others.

At the same time, they felt the aura of death surging in from all directions.

Suddenly, a figure descended from the sky and landed opposite Qin Ran.

The moment the Zombie King landed, the ground beneath his feet caved in, creating a huge crater.

The Zombie King emerged from the deep pit.

Qin Ran stared at him.

After seeing his face clearly, I felt he was even more terrifying than last night.

Qin Ran released the pure Yang energy within his body, causing it to form a barrier.

This way, corpse poison and corpse gas cannot get close.

At the same time, Qin Ran took out the Demon-Slaying Blade from the demiplane.

"You wretched creature, I've come to take your dog's life."

Qin Ran charged forward, wielding the Demon-Slaying Blade.

The Zombie King remained calm and composed.

His body was incredibly tough, and he was not afraid of any weapon.

Qin Ran, however, was full of confidence.

The Demon Slayer Blade struck the Zombie King, but it couldn't break through his thick armor.

However, the pure Yang energy will continue to burn his Yin-evil body.

The Zombie King suddenly felt pain in his body...
