What do you mean by saying that the corpses I sew are all ominous creatures?

"Since Master Zhang is so confident, let's eliminate any future troubles."

Let's leave this scourge here completely, so the Bureau of Folklore won't have to worry about it anymore.

I echoed in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanqing nodded, a resolute killing intent flashing in his eyes.

He didn't linger on the altar, but instead gestured to me:

"The yin energy here is too heavy; it is not advisable to stay here for long."

"Let's go down first and gather the whole team together to come up with a foolproof plan."

I responded and followed Zhang Xuanqing quickly down the obsidian steps.

The people from Shanyan below the altar immediately surrounded him, but Zhang Xuanqing did not speak immediately. Instead, he pressed the tactical communicator on his ear:

"Compass, Spirit Pivot, how's the situation on your end?"

The communicator carried a slightly somber voice from the compass:

"Master, we are still at the gap in the bronze gate."

The Yin-repelling array was functioning normally, but the stench of corpses in the air was growing stronger, and the black Yin energy was slowly spreading outwards.

"Alright, you stay put and maintain the formation. We'll retreat and regroup here."

Zhang Xuanqing issued the order.

Considering that the concentration of yin energy in the center of the altar was still rising, for safety reasons, Zhang Xuanqing led us back to the vicinity of the gap in the bronze gate for the time being.

At the gap, the small yin-avoiding array set up by the compass emitted a faint yellow light, keeping out the wisps of black cold air.

The group gathered in a circle, and Zhang Xuanqing briefly recounted the information they had gathered at the altar, as well as the deduction that the senior had been severely injured and sealed the evil corpse.

After hearing these words, the morale of the team, which had been somewhat subdued, visibly improved.

"Damn it, it turns out to be a crippled zongzi that has been sealed away for hundreds of years."

Shan Yan grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.

"I thought it was some kind of three-headed, six-armed demon god."

"Master, Consultant Chen, what's your plan? The brothers will fight without hesitation!"

"A direct confrontation is definitely not going to work."

I looked at the rocky cliffs and offered a reminder.

"That thing was, after all, an evil artifact that was created hundreds of years ago."

Even when weakened, its blue scales still possess formidable defensive power, and the corpse poison it spews out is impossible to defend against.

We must confine it to a fixed area and strike it dead with the most ruthless means possible.

Zhang Xuanqing nodded in agreement: "Brother Chen is right. So, we'll have to use our trump card this time."

He turned to look at the rocks and gunpowder: "Take everything out of the equipment box."

Upon hearing this, Shan Yan and Huo Yao immediately took off the several heavy waterproof backpacks they had been carrying.

These backpacks contain the supplies from the military green equipment boxes I saw on the plane.

The zipper was opened, revealing a dazzling array of special equipment neatly arranged inside.

The backpack on the left is full of things used in our line of work:

Bundles of bright yellow talismans covered with intricate incantations in dark red cinnabar, and a dozen or so lightning-struck wooden stakes, each about the thickness of a forearm and covered with charred black patterns.

A large clump of specially made ink line soaked in black dog blood and rooster blood, and palm-sized apricot-yellow banners embroidered with Bagua patterns.

The backpack on the right, on the other hand, is full of the violent aesthetics of modern warfare:

C4 plastic explosives resembling putty, various types of electronic detonators and time fuses.

As well as several special incendiary bombs and high-explosive grenades marked with danger labels.

Zhang Xuanqing took a deep breath and began to systematically assign tactical tasks:

"This evil corpse is of the Yin nature and carries extremely heavy corpse poison."

I plan to set up the Celestial Master's Mansion's Nine Palaces Demon-Subduing Array in this tomb chamber, with the obsidian altar as the center.

This formation can suppress the yin energy of this place to the greatest extent. At the same time, by using lightning-struck wood and pure yang talismans, it can greatly weaken the mobility and defense of the evil creatures within the formation.

He looked at the compass worn by the glasses:

"Compass, you'll assist me."

Use your compass to calculate the direction of the earth's veins in this underground tomb and help me accurately locate the key points of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams formation.

This formation allows for no mistakes. The rest of the people assisted the compass, following his instructions to bury the lightning-struck wood and lay the chalk line.

"Understood! Leave it to me."

Upon hearing this, Luo Pan nodded solemnly and immediately took out his specially made compass.

Immediately, Zhang Xuanqing turned his gaze to Ling Shu in the group:

"Ling Shu, once the evil corpse breaks out of its coffin, it will inevitably spew out a large amount of Gu poison and corpse gas."

You need to distribute poison-avoiding pills to everyone in advance, and prepare air-purifying agents around the formation.

If someone is poisoned, you must intervene immediately.

Upon hearing this, Ling Shu adjusted his goggles and calmly replied, "No problem."

I have prepared a compound antidote for Miao snake venom and corpse poison; one vial for each person, ready to be injected at any time.

Finally, Zhang Xuanqing looked at me and the gunpowder.

"Gunpowder, Brother Chen."

Zhang Xuanqing's tone became extremely serious.

"You two have the most dangerous mission."

If the evil corpse hides in the stone coffin and doesn't come out, then no matter how many arrangements we make, it will be useless.

I need you to bring the explosives and climb back onto the altar.

Gunpowder is responsible for setting up directional blasting points on the stone coffin. Brother Chen, use your malevolent energy to protect Gunpowder and prevent him from being corrupted by the yin energy.

"Once the formation is complete, heed my command: destroy the stone coffin and forcibly awaken the evil entity!"

"After we blow up the stone coffin, if it dares to show its face, we'll make sure it never comes back!"

"Okay, leave it to us."

I nodded in agreement and then turned to look at the gunpowder that was being inspected by the detonator.

"Brother Gunpowder, you just focus on setting up the explosives up there."

"I'll shield you from the surrounding yin energy and any toxins that might seep out."

Upon hearing this, Huoyao nodded at me.

He quickly stuffed several pieces of C4 explosive and a detonator into his tactical vest, patted his chest, and said, "Let's go, Advisor Chen. I'm a professional at blowing up rocks."

After the tactics were assigned, the entire squad immediately began to operate like a precise machine.

Carrying the gunpowder, I crossed that oppressive square once more and climbed the steps to the obsidian altar.

As we approached the massive, greyish-white stone coffin, the surrounding temperature plummeted.

The dark, gloomy energy seemed to have a life of its own, trying to climb up our trouser legs.

I took a deep breath, and my thoughts stirred slightly.

Within my dantian, the evil pill immediately accelerated its rotation, and a burst of evil energy instantly emanated from my body, forming an invisible barrier around me.

Immediately afterwards, I continued to activate the evil pill, increasing the output effect of the evil energy and expanding the barrier outward by half a meter.

Then the gunpowder enveloped him completely.

The moment the black yin energy came into contact with the jade-colored evil energy, it was like snow meeting boiling water, making a slight hissing sound as it quickly melted and dissipated.
