Joining Tiandao Company: Starting by mending a zombie world

On the other side, the formation was briefly disrupted.

The offensive of Kujira and the ghost soldiers was instantly thrown into disarray.

It's now!

A fierce glint flashed in Chu Sheng's eyes.

This is the opportunity he's been waiting for!

"Senior brother, help me!"

Chu Sheng roared and stopped blocking. Instead, he hurled the Northern Emperor Peach Wood Sword at Jiu Jing's blade barrage!

The sword transformed into a streak of crimson light, shooting straight at Jiujing's face, forcing him to parry with his own blade.

"when!"

Swords clashed again, sparks flying.

Chu Sheng himself, using the force of the recoil, suddenly rolled backward.

At the same time, he had something else in his hand—a charm coin brimming with dragon energy!

"Lord Laozi, hasten your command! May the dragon's power subdue evil!"

Chu Sheng bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of pure, hot blood onto the amulet coin.

The dragon pattern on the coin seemed to come alive, emitting a deep dragon roar!

Then, he leaped high into the air, just like Jiujing, and slammed the amulet money hard onto Jiujing's forehead from top to bottom.

The next moment, Jiujing's arrogant, domineering, and malicious face appeared.

His expression revealed fear and resentment.

"ah--"

"No...no...Your Majesty the Emperor..."

Kujiri let out an unprecedentedly shrill scream.

The black aura on his body melted away like ice and snow.

"The Emperor is nothing but a dog; he has a bastard father surnamed Tetsu!"

Chu Sheng stared at the dissolving Nine Wells, a sneer appearing on his lips.

"We won!" Yu Chuda exclaimed joyfully, staring blankly at everything before him.

Chu Sheng nodded and quickly went with Yu Chuda to help Mao Xiaofang.

"Master, are you alright?" Chu Sheng asked, noticing that Mao Xiaofang's face was pale and unwell.

"Senior Brother Mao just used the sect's most powerful artifact, which may have damaged his foundation," Ma Dana explained.

"Foundation?" Chu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and said happily, "That's alright. After it's over, I'll buy you some tonics to make sure you stay strong and healthy in your old age."

Mao Xiaofang rolled her eyes at him, annoyed, "Hmph, if only a strong foundation were so easy to improve."

Yu Chuda chuckled, "That's easy. My junior brother and I will take Weasel back with us to catch some chicken essence for you, so you can eat your fill."

Mao Xiaofang looked at his two lively apprentices and shook his head helplessly.

He stood up and said, "Let's go! We'll talk about it when we get back."

The group nodded and were about to turn and leave when Mao Xiaofang and Ma Danna glanced at the lingering black mist.

At the same time, he frowned and exclaimed, "That's not right!"

Before the words were even finished, a sudden change occurred!

In the center of the altar, Hui Ji, who should have been severely injured due to the destruction of the array's nodes, suddenly changed the tone of her shrill screams.

The pain transformed into a chilling, ecstatic, and satisfying groan-like sound.

"Hehe... Hahaha..."

Everyone turned around and looked.

Her withered body suddenly solidified.

"not good!"

Mao Xiaofang was the first to notice something was wrong, and his expression changed drastically.

Hui Ji suddenly opened her eyes and slapped Mao Xiaofang with her palm.

Fortunately, Madana reacted quickly, using her hand seals to block him and creating a shockwave.

Instead of being happy, Madonna exclaimed in surprise:

"Strange, her ghostly aura seems to fit even better?"

"Hahaha..." Hui Ji slowly straightened up.

His pale skin was covered with dark red veins.

These patterns intertwine to form an eerie chrysanthemum design.

"Thank you all... for helping me on my final journey."

Her voice became hollow and layered, as if countless sounds were overlapping:

"Could it be that you have exhausted all of Master Shanghe's resentment, so I am unable to devour the purest magic power in his heart?"

She stretched out her withered hand from beneath the altar, and once again produced a thumping heart, her eyes filled with fascination.

"This is my heart."

Yu Chuda blinked and exclaimed in surprise:

"My God, how can she have two hearts? Whose was that just now?"

Chu Sheng's expression stiffened, instantly realizing Hui Ji's scheme, and he whispered:

"That's the heart of his teacher, Ue-Tsuru."

He said with disdain:

"These remnants of the Manchu Qing dynasty planned this from the very beginning, having Master and Uncle-Master help her refine the resentment in Shanghe's heart."

Hui Ji tilted her head slightly, a gesture that carried a touch of girlish charm.

This forms a bizarre contrast with her terrifying appearance at this moment:

"Sasaki, do you think you're so smart? So lucky?"

"They discovered the location of the underground altar so quickly?"

"You think you're smart, but you're actually quite stupid."

Chu Sheng blinked and immediately realized that something was wrong:

"Is it you?"

"Intentional?"

Hui Ji seemed to have everything under her control, and laughed loudly.

Immediately, his face darkened.

"Your stupidest thing... was not touching me!"

"Sending your wife away is the highest form of etiquette in Japan. If you refuse, it means you are morally upright."

"And the Japanese are immoral."

"They often take pleasure in playing tricks."

Chu Sheng felt utterly speechless and asked with absolute candor:

Is it possible that I simply find you ugly?

"Shut up!" Hui Ji roared, and terrifying ghostly energy formed a sound wave that materialized and rushed towards everyone.

"Cover your ears!"

Mao Xiaofang shouted a reminder and quickly took out two yellow talismans and stuffed them into his ears.

"Lin!" Madana then spread her index fingers and thumbs in front of her, creating a protective shield.

Chu Sheng and Yu Chuda were a step behind.

Only by circulating true qi and reciting the "Shangqing Dadong True Scripture" can one achieve this.

The terrifying demonic energy became increasingly solid.

It seemed that everyone was about to be reduced to nothingness.

Madonna suddenly removed the necklace from her neck and shouted:

"Senior Brother Ma, you all go now. I'll seal it with the Purifying Dragon Pearl!"

"If she breaks through to the Ghost King level, none of us will survive."

Mao Xiaofang gritted his teeth and said:

"If you and I stay here, we can hold out for three more days. Then we'll have Chu Da and Chu Sheng go and invite my senior brother and Lin Jiu."

Madana was pale and said nothing more than "Okay".

Mao Xiaofang glanced at his two apprentices, his eyes revealing a near-despairing solemnity for the first time.

A desperate situation.

A true dead end.

He said he was going to invite his senior brother and Lin Jiu, but in reality, it was impossible.

Putting everything else aside, the distance alone is impossible.

He took a deep breath and spoke again.

"Chu Sheng."

"Disciple is here!" Chu Sheng replied.

"Although you have only been a beginner for a short time, your talent and opportunities are both exceptional. Today, I may not be able to help you leave unscathed."

As he spoke, Mao Xiaofang reached into his robes and took out an old-fashioned, palm-sized wooden token.

The token is dark brown with smoothed edges, and two large characters are engraved in ancient seal script on the front—

【Maoshan】.

"This is the 'Demon Subduing Order' for my inner disciples of Maoshan to travel the world."

"With this token, one can see the sect leader, enter the scripture pavilion, and seek help from fellow righteous sects throughout the land."

He handed the token to Chu Sheng, his eyes filled with utmost solemnity:

"If things cannot be done today... you must live on."

"In the future, you will travel the world in my stead, slaying demons and monsters."

Chu Sheng took the token; it felt slightly heavy in his hand, and he could faintly sense a gentle and peaceful Daoist aura contained within it.

"Master..." He choked up, looked at Hui Ji, and suddenly remembered something.

"Master, it says in your notes."

"Simply bury three ounces each of dog blood, black dog heart, and black dog tail, along with a thunder talisman, at the head of this Ghost Mother Soul Refining Array, and activate the Five Thunder Spell to break it."

"Really?"
