Gou Zai Liang Jie as a Human Gu

On the corner tower of Qingshui Town.

Wu Tiande, the general who was welcoming the bride, held an iron spear in his hand, and his body was filled with a strong aura of death.

If you look closely, you'll notice that his pupils are deathly white.

He is no longer alive.

He is now the leader of these zombies.

It was under his control that the zombies attacked the Liu family's villa.

"Princess Consort of Li!" Wu Tiande keenly spotted Li Muqing among the fleeing civilians.

"Kill her! Kill her! Killing her will complete the task assigned by the prince." A mad voice roared in Wu Tiande's mind.

Wu Tiande trembled all over. With a clang, the iron spear in his hand struck the ground, and he took off the black iron slingshot from his body.

The dragon tendon bowstring gathered power at his fingertips, gradually drawing it into a full moon arc.

An invisible arrow condenses on the bow.

hum!

As the bowstring was released, the arrow tip instantly unleashed a shockwave, creating a massive gust of air that tore through the air and hurtled towards the crowd at an invisible speed.

A smug smile curled at the corners of Wu Tiande's mouth; he was determined to win this arrow.

The next moment, the smile on his lips froze.

With ghostly speed, Lin Mo suddenly appeared beside Li Muqing, wrapping one arm around her slender waist while sweeping out his sword with the other.

boom!

The shockwave arrow was shattered by a single strike.

"what!"

Wu Tiande, standing on the corner tower, let out an inhuman roar of rage, grabbed his iron spear, and hurled it at Lin Mo's chest.

"hold head high……!"

The spear shattered the sound barrier, unleashing a terrifying wave of energy, resembling a black dragon with clearly defined and lifelike scales, as it charged towards Lin Mo.

Lin Mo released Li Muqing and leaped up.

The person is in mid-air, holding a knife above their head with both hands.

Man and knife become one.

The blade's edge pierced the heavens and earth, like a thunderclap, striking back at the black dragon in the sky.

The black dragon and the blade of light collided.

Ding!

It sounded like a fine needle falling to the ground; the sound was crisp and seemingly very subtle.

However, the next moment, a huge aftershock swept across the air.

Everyone's eardrums were throbbing painfully, and they instinctively covered their ears.

Those who are physically weak will collapse to the ground, writhing in pain, bleeding from all seven orifices.

The black dragon's mouth was slashed open by the blade in the sky, and its ten-zhang-long body was pierced through by a single strike.

The blade's momentum remained undiminished, heading straight for the corner tower.

Seeing that things were going badly, Wu Tiande leaped to escape.

However, it was too late.

The blade pierced straight through his chest.

boom!

Wu Tiande's body, along with the corner tower, was blown to pieces.

Lin Mo appeared atop the dilapidated corner tower, his brows furrowed as he looked at Wu Tiande's mind, which had been blown apart, leaving only his legs.

Something's not right.

Wu Tiande's body did not have a soul fly out.

The zombies around him were also unusual; he had killed no fewer than ten million zombies, and none of them had their souls fly away.

What's even more suspicious is that the zombies below didn't recede; instead, they gathered like a tide, becoming more and more numerous.

The entire town of Qingshui was practically bursting at the seams.

There are at least 100,000 people, and the number is still increasing.

"There are too many. The number far exceeds the population of Qingshui Town. Even if you dug up all the ancestral graves for eighteen generations, there still wouldn't be this many zombies."

The exit that Lin Mo had just created was once again blocked by the surging tide of corpses.

If the source of the zombie horde isn't found, it will be very difficult to leave Qingshui Town.

Lin Mo raised his eyes to look at the top of Yunxia Mountain, where the medicinal energy continued to pour out endlessly.

"Wait a minute, I ransacked the alchemy room, how could they still be refining pills?"

The spiritual sense probed towards the mountaintop.

boom!

Just as we were about to reach the summit, we crashed into an invisible barrier.

There's a barrier!

"Just as I thought."

Lin Mo's face darkened.

Now we're just one step away from being completely certain.

"kill!"

Leaping down, Lin Mo slashed at the town entrance with his sword.

The horde of corpses was instantly cleared, creating an opening.

Lin Mo used his lightness skill, moving like a wisp of smoke, and slipped out through the gap with ghostly movements.

The townspeople, who thought they had found their pillar of support, froze when they saw the young master run away alone. Their hopeful faces gradually turned into fear, despair, and resentment.

"Damn the Crown Prince, he actually ran away all by himself."

"I'm going to kill him, kill him!"

"Mommy, I'm scared, boohoo!"

Li Muqing, who had just been rescued by Lin Mo, was filled with astonishment. She couldn't believe that Lin Mo was someone who was afraid of death and had run away alone.

She tried her best to shout, wanting to prove Lin Mo, but her shouts were too weak and were quickly swallowed up by the angry crowd.

Even worse, some pushed and shoved her and cursed at her.

Fortunately, Liu Yingying and her men stopped her, thus saving her from disaster.

"Liu Yingying, I don't believe he's that kind of person. Do you believe me?" Li Muqing, held in Liu Yingying's arms, shed tears of grievance, expressing her disbelief with a desolate expression.

Liu Yingying gritted her teeth, her gaze resolute, and said, "I don't believe it either. I believe in him; he will come back!"

Lin Mo, having left Qingshui Town, has entered a whole new world.

Here, the sky and earth stretch endlessly, with no end in sight.

The earth was scorched red by the furnace, cracked like a tortoise shell, and flames poured out from the huge fissures.

These flames seem strangely familiar.

Inferno!

As the earth cracked under the scorching flames, one zombie after another emerged from the ground, unconsciously surging towards Qingshui Town.

Qian Shou!

However, unlike the Blessed Land of Dreams, the souls are of humble origin, but the physical bodies are too coarse, merely temporarily pieced together by yin earth energy, and are not afraid of too much independent consciousness.

It should be related to the cultivation level of the one controlling this cauldron; they are unable to revive the common people as they did in the Dream Ruins Blessed Land.

"Fuck your mother!"

Lin Mo instantly understood everything.

No wonder the zombie horde is impossible to kill; the more you kill, the more it grows.

That's because the entire town of Qingshui had already been magically incorporated into the [Rakshasa Demon-Forging Cauldron].

This time, when I reopened it, I actually returned to the cauldron.

Apart from the surviving residents, everyone else in Qingshui Town had long been harvested, their souls refined into commoners.

The souls of the common people are endlessly reincarnated within this cauldron, constantly being reborn as zombies.

In addition, there were the unrefined souls of the common people that were originally inside the cauldron.

With these two factors combined, the zombie horde will only grow larger and larger, and will never be eradicated.

Wu Tiande's figure emerged from the dark earth.

"Kill! Kill! Kill the real Crown Princess, and the fake will become real! Kill! Kill...!"

Wu Tiande charged into the town with his iron spear.

Although he died, his soul was different from others, still retaining a trace of his obsession from his life.

The unexpected events brought about by the wedding procession forced him to take a risk and devise a scheme to switch the prince with a cat.

He never expected that the true Crown Princess would actually appear in Qingshui Town.

In order to protect himself, he had the evil idea of ​​killing someone to cover it up.

Unfortunately, before he could act on his evil thoughts, he turned into a zombie. His momentary evil thoughts became his obsession.

The real Crown Princess must be killed, and a fake one must be used to impersonate her!

"I guessed right. This cauldron isn't powerful enough to control countless souls through endless reincarnation like the Eight Treasures Lotus Platform Glazed Lamp, while still maintaining a complete personality."

Lin Mo didn't give Wu Tiande a second chance to break into the town, and dismembered him with a single strike.

But this is only temporary; he will be reborn again, driven by his obsession to continue assassinating Li Muqing.

"call……!"

Lin Mo took a deep breath and calmly analyzed the current situation.

The true disciples of the Three Immortals Sect colluded with Prince Jing, attempting to use unkillable zombies to assassinate Li Muqing and prevent the alliance between Prince Li and the Li family.

Lin Mo shook his head. It was unrealistic. As a true disciple of the Three Immortals Sect, he had no need to get involved in worldly power struggles.

If it's not a mundane struggle, then it's about harvesting talent.

The other party set up such a huge scheme in Qingshui Town just to take over Qingshui Town and refine everyone's souls into commoners.

That's a rather narrow perspective.

Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?

"No, that's not right. The common people are only needed by Buddhist cultivators. The [Rakshasa Demon-Forging Cauldron] was taken away by the true disciples of the Three Immortals Sect. The true disciples must have had ulterior motives for using this cauldron."

Lin Mo sensed something was wrong.

The karmic fire beneath their feet seemed to have little power.

The power of this karmic fire is greatly reduced.

A new force is emerging.

This newly born flame possesses a chilling power, carrying a sinister aura, yet it also contains a vital force, completely different from the domineering and destructive nature of karmic fire.

"Get rid of the old and bring in the new!"

Lin Mofu suddenly understood the other party's intention.

The [Rakshasa Demon-Forging Cauldron] was, after all, used by the Buddhist monk Yixiu to forge the incense and golden body, and it contained karmic fire.

This karmic fire is too domineering and cannot be controlled by its new master.

Therefore, some people refine karmic fire here and replace it with other fire.

To refine the karmic fire, one must exhaust one's source.

How to exhaust, endlessly cycle, to revive the soul as a zombie. After the zombie dies, its soul enters the earth, is refined and reorganized by karmic fire, and then reshaped into a new zombie by yin energy earth.

Each time the soul of the common people is reorganized to create a zombie, it is a drain on the karmic fire.

Without the support of any spiritual power, the karmic fire will only grow weaker and weaker, eventually being replaced.

"What a clever scheme! But why choose Qingshui Town of all places to perform the ritual?"

Lin Mo felt a sense of doubt. His nostrils twitched as the refreshing fragrance of the pill entered his nose. Suddenly realizing something, he abruptly raised his head.

Dan Qi!

The key is the elixir energy within the Zhi Shou Guan!

Why would the other party create the scene of Danqi Waterfall and the fragrance spreading throughout Qingshui Town just to cover up the truth?

impossible.

There's no need to go to such lengths.

There's only one explanation.

The elixir must have special effects.

Lin Mo had previously suspected that the commotion at Zhi Shou Guan's alchemy practice was too great and too unusual.

It was merely a longevity elixir made for emperors, yet it resulted in the entire mountainside being filled with the aroma of pills, creating a scene comparable to a pill-refining ceremony in the world of immortal cultivation.

The commotion was astonishing.

In retrospect, it must have been from that time that the other party began to make their move.

And he himself had long since fallen into the game.

When did it start?

Become a corpse puppet [Medicine Gourd]?

No.

Even earlier than that.

His story begins with his first return to the Great Zhou Dynasty, where he becomes Li Muqing's protector. He then meets Liu Yingying, comes to the Liu family mansion in Qingshui Town to eliminate evil, and impersonates the heir of the Prince of Li.

Every step of this journey has been propelled by an invisible hand.

The goal is to help the true disciple obtain the [Rakshasa Demon-Forging Cauldron].

Thinking of this, Lin Mo broke out in a cold sweat. The person who manipulated Wang Chong's [Destiny Plate] that day was a true disciple of the Immortal Sect.

This wedding procession, seemingly a power struggle in the mortal realm, actually involves a much larger scheme orchestrated by the immortal sects, all for the sake of refining the cauldron today.

This alchemical process requires the guidance of elixir energy!

Choose the method from Qingshui Town.

It must be closely related to Qingshui Town.

There is a great secret hidden in Qingshui Town, a secret that is enough to attract the true disciples of the immortal sects to make plans and schemes.

The true master deliberately released the elixir energy, triggering the secret to appear in the world, and then set up a barrier to bring the entire Qingshui Town into the cauldron.

In a normal world, if the elixir energy were to continuously cover the entire town, the alchemy room of Zhi Shou Temple would need to be reopened.

But if it's in the world inside the cauldron, then it's not necessary.

To the outside world, the Sumeru Realm is as insignificant as a grain of sand; the aura emitted by a single elixir is enough to cover the entire interior of the cauldron.

"Found you! Watch me break through your demonic cauldron barrier!"

Lin Mo's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he leaped into the air, drawing his sword and pointing it towards the sky.

[One slash splits the heavens!]
