Joining Tiandao Company: Starting by mending a zombie world

"Thump!" Old Master Ren was thrown face-first into the dirt, slapping the ground with both hands before leaping up again.

He turned around and glared fiercely at the Four-Eyes Taoist.

Lin Fengjiao's pupils contracted, and she immediately drew a blood talisman in mid-air, her fingers forming a sword shape as she bit her fingertip.

"Thunder rumbles from the heavens, thunder roars from the earth; the Six Ding and Six Jia, upon hearing the name of my pass, shall not linger, but welcome auspiciousness and bestow blessings, forever suppressing the Dragon God! So be it!"

The blood talisman flashed red light and transformed into a phantom talisman, which imprinted itself on Old Master Ren's forehead.

As if sensing something, Old Master Ren suddenly turned his head, his vertical pupils fixed on the flying blood talisman.

Instead of dodging or avoiding, it opened its mouth and spewed out a thick, turbid corpse gas!

The blood talisman collided with the corpse energy, producing a muffled thud, and both were annihilated.

Lin Fengjiao's heart sank; she sensed that things were getting serious.

Master Four Eyes also grew anxious and activated his magic again, shouting at Chu Sheng and Yu Chuda:

"You two, don't just stand there! Help!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Chuda immediately took out a Five Thunder Talisman and slapped it onto the peach wood sword, chanting urgently:

"Five thunders, five thunders, hasten to Huang Ning! The mists and clouds transform, roaring like lightning, swift as thunder! At the call, they shall arrive immediately! Quickly unleash the yang sound! So be it!"

The peach wood sword, crackling with faint lightning, pierced towards Old Master Ren's ribs.

Chu Sheng dared not be negligent. His mind raced, and he instantly connected with the sword-nurturing gourd at his waist.

"With the Northern Emperor's aid, my sword will sweep away the demonic aura!"

The gourd used for nurturing the sword shone with a brilliant purple-gold light, and a clear, resonant sword cry echoed throughout the cemetery.

It struck first, arriving late but arriving early, directly targeting the dark spot in Old Master Ren's heart.

clang!!!

A deafening clang of metal clashing!

The Northern Emperor's peach wood sword pierced Old Master Ren's crossed arms, sending up a trail of dazzling sparks!

The arm covered in bluish-black scales was harder than anyone could imagine!

Immediately afterwards, the evil-slaying thunder power contained in Yu Chuda's peach wood sword, which was imbued with thunder talismans, seeped into the gap between Old Master Ren's arms.

The blow caused Old Master Ren to roar in pain, as several scales on his arm were knocked off.

The massive body was also thrown backward by the force, knocking down a corner of the concrete mound behind it.

"It works!" Yu Chuda couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw that his attack had been effective.

Seeing this, Lin Fengjiao turned to look at Qiusheng and Wencai, each holding one end of the rope.

Qiu Sheng used the nearby tombstone as leverage to leap, while Wen Cai crouched low and quickly spun around, forming a rope loop in mid-air, which then ensnared Old Master Ren!

scoff-

The blood-stained hemp rope touched Old Master Ren's corpse and instantly burst into dense sparks, filling the air with a burnt and pungent stench.

"Ahhh..."

Grandpa Ren let out a painful roar and struggled even more violently.

"Father!"

Seeing that Old Master Ren was in so much pain, Ren Fa, who was standing to the side, forgot his fear and let out a scream.

Just then, Lin Fengjiao drew another blood talisman and recited:

"The essence of Yangming, with its divine power hidden in the heart, can subdue evil spirits and conceal them from human form. With a single talisman, it can subdue demons without leaving a trace. Anyone who dares to disobey will be met with the heavenly army."

"Imperial Edict!"

Immediately, the blood talisman shot like an arrow towards Old Master Ren's forehead.

With a "boom," a flower of blood exploded on his forehead.

"Ahhh!" Old Master Ren screamed in pain, his body emanating a strange black aura.

The power became incredibly terrifying, and it suddenly struggled outwards!

Crash! Crash! Crash!

Several hemp ropes snapped instantly!

Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai both lost their strength and fell backward.

He fell flat on his backside.

"You damned Taoist priest, you just wait!"

Knowing he was no match for him, Old Master Ren left behind a harsh remark, then suddenly squatted down and jumped up.

He jumped a full ten meters away.

They actually... escaped!

"Chase!" Master Four Eyes made a move to give chase.

Lin Fengjiao immediately stopped them in a deep voice, her expression extremely solemn.

"Although it is injured, we have no way to kill it. If we chase after it rashly, we may encounter unforeseen circumstances."

He looked in the direction where Old Master Ren had disappeared, then glanced at the rapidly decaying corpse on the ground.

He gave the order to Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai:

"Go quickly and buy glutinous rice and scatter it on the ground near the coffin."

"Otherwise, after the rain, the corpse's aura will rise with the water vapor, and everyone in the town will be affected."

Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai glanced at Chu Sheng and Yu Chuda, and then said "Oh".

He moved closer to Lin Fengjiao and opened his palm.

Lin Fengjiao pouted, glared at the two of them, and looked at Ren Fa:

"Go ask Master Ren for it."

Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai suddenly realized what was going on, and went to Ren Fa Mian and spread out their palms as well.

"what!"

Ren Fa awkwardly took out six silver dollars from his pocket and counted them out one by one for the two men.

"Master, is this enough?" Wencai asked, glancing at the coffin pit.

"Let's mix in some sand." Lin Fengjiao knew Ren Fa was stingy, so she didn't dwell on it anymore.

He added four more silver dollars and instructed them:

"Remember, it must be all glutinous rice."

Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai grunted in agreement and hurriedly left.

Ren Fa awkwardly forced a smile and said, "Master Lin has always been compassionate and admirable!"

Master Four Eyes chuckled and walked up to the two of them, saying:

Whether my junior brother is compassionate or not is no longer important.

"I advise you to spend it as much as you can, and use it as you can."

Ren Fa was taken aback and asked, puzzled, "What does this mean?"

Master Four Eyes continued with a laugh: "Once a zombie takes shape, it only has the instinct to suck blood left."

"And the blood of one's closest relatives is a great tonic."

"So, that zombie from earlier was your dad."

"Sooner or later we'll drain your blood."

"Ah!" Ren Fa's already bloodless face paled upon hearing this.

Her skin was even paler, like a sheet of paper, and she grabbed Lin Fengjiao's arm anxiously.

"Master Lin, please save me!"

"I'm willing to spend any amount of money."

Lin Fengjiao slowly pushed Ren Fa's hand away:

"Mr. Ren, it's no longer a matter of how much money we have."

"Old Master Ren became a zombie for some unknown reason."

"With the methods of myself and my senior brother, it wouldn't be easy to kill him."

He paused, then added, "For now, we can only wait!"

Ren Fa asked in surprise, "Wait? Wait for what?"

Lin Fengjiao said, "It's all about the right timing, the right location, and the right people!"

Ren Fa was both amused and exasperated. "Master Lin, could you explain it in simpler terms?"

The Taoist priest with four eyes, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it any longer and said directly:

"We're just waiting for our senior brother to arrive!"

"With the combined strength of a few of us, we killed your father."

"Also... this price might not be low!"

Ren Fa felt something was amiss and muttered, "Taking my money...and killing my father...is that appropriate?"

Master Four Eyes shrugged: "Then you can just wait for your dad to kill your whole family."

Speaking of his family, Ren Fa slapped his forehead: "Besides my nephew A-Qiang, my daughter will be back tomorrow."

"Should we...send her away?"

Lin Fengjiao shook her head: "Between blood relatives, there is a bond of blood."

"Even at the ends of the earth, it can be sensed."

"Why don't we work together? We can protect them too."

Hearing that Lin Fengjiao hadn't given up on him, Ren Fa gritted his teeth and said:

"Okay, as long as it protects me, my daughter, and A-Qiang."

"I'll pay whatever it costs!"
