A strange movement came from inside the square-cornered purple-gold coffin, and then the upper body of a purple figure suddenly emerged from the coffin.

This person had a full head of white hair, with very few strands remaining. His purplish, dry skin hung limply on his frame, like cured meat that had been dehydrated for many years.

No one knows how many years it had been buried in the square-cornered purple-gold coffin, but the mummified corpse still had eyeballs in its eye sockets, and at this moment it was looking at everyone present with cloudy eyes.

Its eyes didn't look human at all; they looked more like those of a wild beast poised to pounce, observing its prey.

"Why has this person turned purple?" Wu Changyong asked in surprise.

"Master, this is really bad. This is the legendary purple-haired zombie."

"The purple-haired zombie signifies that it was a wealthy and powerful individual in life, and its power after death is immense. If no one can subdue it, Jinbian City will likely become a dead city."

"Hurry up, sir, we've released a monster."

The four Taoist priests could no longer stand. The oppressive feeling emanating from the zombie inside the square-cornered purple-gold coffin was too great, making them want to escape from this place as quickly as possible and get as far away from that purple-haired zombie as possible.

Ning Xiu's expression was solemn. Although he did not know as much as the four Taoists, judging from the aura emanating from the purple-haired zombie, it was probably more than a third-rank expert.

Such a ferocious creature was buried beneath Jinbian City. If I hadn't arrived today and this purple-haired zombie had escaped, the entire Jinbian City would have become a wasteland of corpses.

As the purple-haired zombie slowly rose from the square-cornered purple-gold coffin, a triumphant smile appeared on Zhao Wanwan's face, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.

Those Wu Changyong's men who had been sent flying by Ning Xiu's palm strike suddenly seemed to be possessed, quickly getting up from the ground and rushing towards the purple-haired zombie in a suicidal manner.

The purple-haired zombie sensed a living person approaching, immediately grabbed one of them, opened its mouth wide, and bit down on the person's throat, beginning to devour them.

After absorbing the blood of living people, the purple-haired zombie's body surface luster underwent a significant change.

"what's the situation?"

"What happened?"

"It feels like they're being manipulated."

The purple-haired zombie had just awakened and wasn't very strong yet, but Wu Changyong's men launched such a suicidal attack, directly feeding themselves into the purple-haired zombie's mouth.

In this way, the purple-haired zombie will become stronger and stronger, something a normal person would never do.

One of the Taoist priests seemed to have thought of something and immediately turned to look at Zhao Wanwan, hesitatingly asking, "Could it be you?"

In fact, ever since Zhao Wanwan appeared by Wu Changyong's side as a courtesan, Wu Changyong's retainers have all begun to sense some changes in Wu Changyong and the mysterious nature of Zhao Wanwan.

Why did she know that there was a tomb of Grandfather Yin beneath the Blue River Gold Mine? Why did Wu Changyong sometimes change his mind and change his mind immediately after Zhao Wanwan said something, even after he had already made a decision?

Previously, people only had suspicions and didn't take it to heart, but now it seems that Zhao Wanwan is definitely hiding too many secrets.

She could even subtly control Wu Changyong's men to commit suicidal acts.

Facing the Taoist priest, Zhao Wanwan smiled quietly, her eyes slowly brightening, instantly making the Taoist priest's expression confused.

The situation went completely unnoticed by others. Ning Xiu's body had already moved when the purple-haired zombie grabbed a living person and began to drink their blood.

With a powerful stomp, he instantly shot forward and arrived in front of the purple-haired zombie.

Ning Xiu's entire body turned crimson red at this moment, and his bright red fist slammed directly into the face of the purple-haired zombie.

The most powerful aspect of the Qi and Blood Furnace technique is that it can unleash all the Qi and blood in the human body, making it extremely useful for attacking evil spirits.

Even though the purple-haired zombie looked formidable, it couldn't withstand a single punch from Ning Xiu.

Bang!

The purple-haired zombie was instantly sent flying backward, directly punched by Ning Xiu and crashed into a distant rock wall.

Looking at the people surrounding the square-cornered purple-gold coffin, Ning Xiu saw that their eyes were blank and they seemed to have no self-awareness at all. He could tell that things were not simple.

To prevent these people from doing anything to strengthen the purple-haired zombies, Ning Xiu took direct action and knocked them all unconscious.

After taking Ning Xiu's punch, the center of the purple-haired zombie's face caved in, leaving a clear fist mark.

At the same time, affected by Ning Xiu's qi and blood, even wisps of white smoke appeared on the face of the purple-haired zombie.

"Roar!" the purple-haired zombie roared angrily.

Despite taking such a heavy punch, it acted as if nothing had happened and struggled to crawl out of the rock wall.

At this moment, the purple-haired zombie's body began to swell at a visible speed, quickly becoming muscular and with bulging veins.

Ning Xiu remained expressionless and charged at the purple-haired zombie again. Although the zombie's face had been smashed by Ning Xiu's punch, it did not affect its fighting ability at all.

As Ning Xiu attacked, the purple-haired zombie also pounced out, intending to confront Ning Xiu head-on.

When it comes to head-on confrontations, Ning Xiu has never been afraid of anyone since becoming a Demon Subduer. He immediately threw a punch, which collided with the purple-haired zombie's palm.

Dengfeng Fivefold Strength!

At this moment, Ning Xiu used his supernatural power for the first time.

Five powerful forces erupted instantly, violently spreading towards the purple-haired zombie. The zombie's arm exploded with numerous strange noises, the arm bones cracking uncontrollably until the cracks spread to the zombie's shoulder, instantly crippling the entire arm.

In just a few moves, Ning Xiu had already suppressed the purple-haired zombie and put it at a disadvantage.

Just as he was fighting the purple-haired zombie, Zhao Wanwan grabbed Wu Changyong's arm and said, "Master, this is a good opportunity. We should make our move."

"Okay." Wu Changyong nodded and immediately led the few people left beside him toward the open square-cornered purple-gold coffin.

When they arrived at the coffin and looked inside, they saw that the entire square-cornered purple-gold coffin was filled with all sorts of treasures.

There were weapons, bowls, and jewels...

Wu Changyong's eyes burned with fervor: "It really is a treasure."

The reason he acted in secret was precisely for these things. Although unexpected things happened during the process, the result was exactly as expected.

Even if he were discovered by that Demon-Subduing Officer, as long as he took these treasures and left, Wu Changyong could abandon the gold mine and start a new life elsewhere.

And with these burial goods belonging to Eunuch Yin, his wealth would be far greater than it is now.

"Quickly, everyone take some. While that Demon-Subduing Officer is still fighting the zombies, let's grab our things and leave," Wu Changyong hurriedly ordered.

His subordinates immediately did as he was told. However, at that moment, Zhao Wanwan, who had always appeared gentle and graceful, suddenly became serious. She reached into the coffin and took out a treasure, which she then began to play with.

This is a helmet-shaped treasure, with a crystal-clear texture, and it looks like it was meant for soldiers.

Seeing this, Wu Changyong reached out to take the item, saying, "I'm done with the beauty. Take it with me and we'll talk about it after we leave this place."

But to his utter surprise, Zhao Wanwan smiled and forcefully put the helmet on Wu Changyong's head.

"No, stop messing around, take it off right now." Wu Changyong was stunned, and then he felt the helmet start to shrink automatically after it was put on his head, getting tighter and tighter around his head.

"Help me, please help me take this off quickly."

This filled Wu Changyong with immense fear. His men, hearing the cries, immediately rushed over to help, but Zhao Wanwan glanced at them and...

These men, who were originally Wu Changyong's loyal subordinates, all stopped what they were doing and completely ignored Wu Changyong's miserable cries.

As the helmet continued to shrink, it soon squeezed Wu Changyong's head, making a cracking sound. Finally, a large amount of blood flowed from the junction of his head and the helmet, dripping uncontrollably onto the ground, quickly leaving bloodstains all over the ground.

"what!!!!"

Under such intense pressure and pain, Wu Changyong could no longer endure it. After a scream, he died and fell to the ground motionless.

The four Taoist priests witnessed all of this, but their bodies were unable to react in any way.

"Witch, it's all your doing, you witch!"

"Does Master Wu have some deep-seated grudge against you that you would do such a thing to him?"

Facing the four Taoist priests' reprimands, Zhao Wanwan smiled calmly: "You'll find out soon enough."

She reached out and removed the helmet from Wu Changyong's head, revealing that his head had been squeezed into a twisted shape, his skull crushed by the immense force, with blood and white fluid spilling onto the ground.

Zhao Wanwan didn't care at all and continued to put the helmet on the head of one of Wu Changyong's men next to her.

Under Zhao Wanwan's control, the other party did not put up any resistance and let the helmet shrink on his head, just like Wu Changyong had done before.

Oh oh oh!

After crushing two people to death, the helmet soon emitted a strange low hum, and finally a dim male face appeared on the surface of the helmet.

"Who woke us up?" the man asked, opening his pale eyes and speaking in an extremely sharp and chilling voice.

"Zhao Wanwan, a descendant of Zhao Mianyi of the Golden Snake Party, greets Your Excellency!"

Upon seeing this face, Zhao Wanwan immediately smiled and quickly bowed to the helmet.

【085】Shocking Remnants of the Golden Snake Gang

When Grand Eunuch Yin was in power, this man led the establishment of a force called the "Golden Snake Party" in the court and among the people.

Taking the meaning of the golden snake protecting the golden dragon, the old emperor trusted Grand Eunuch Yin very much and directly tacitly approved the existence of this faction.

The emperor is likened to a dragon, and kings and nobles to pythons. This Grand Eunuch Yin's definition of eunuchs as snakes reveals his ambition. During Grand Eunuch Yin's reign, the Golden Snake Party grew exceptionally strong.

Many officials even went so far as to associate themselves with the Golden Snake Party, and for a time they enjoyed immense prestige.

However, after the Demon Subduing Division destroyed the eunuch system under Grand Eunuch Yin, the Golden Snake Party naturally collapsed instantly, and no one dared to mention its name in the Great Shang Dynasty anymore.

The fact that Zhao Wanwan uttered those three words now carries great significance.

So many years have passed, yet the remnants of the Golden Snake Party still lurk in the world.

"Zhao Mian..." Upon hearing this name, the face immediately fell into deep thought. Back then, the Golden Snake Party had countless members, among whom Zhao Mian was one of Eunuch Yin's most trusted subordinates.

However, as the Demon Subduing Division suddenly attacked the Golden Snake Party, Eunuch Yin and several trusted eunuchs escaped through a secret passage they had prepared beforehand, ultimately managing to save their lives.

Although Eunuch Yin managed to escape the encirclement of the Demon Subduing Division, he was secretly harmed by Emperor Wu Cheng, who was then the Crown Prince, using mysterious methods of the Qi Luck Dao. His health deteriorated rapidly, and within a few months, he was on the verge of death. In order to prolong his life, the remaining members of the Golden Snake Party had to use a secret technique they had learned from a demon to preserve Eunuch Yin's soul, so that it could be revived in the future.

Given that the Golden Snake Gang has fallen into a state of universal condemnation, the fact that these henchmen can still act in this way shows their considerable loyalty.

After Eunuch Yin died, they stored his soul in a soul-storing treasure, along with all the treasures he brought from Chaotian Capital, hoping that one day the Golden Snake Party could rise again.

However, decades have passed since then. Unexpectedly, today the descendants of Zhao Mian's adopted daughter have found this place and forcibly awakened the soul of Eunuch Yin.

"After the Golden Serpent Party left the Great Shang Dynasty, it allied with the demonic forces outside the borders and has now grown to a considerable size. Now is the time for us to return and lead the Golden Serpent Party back to its peak." Zhao Wanwan said, holding her helmet. "Your Excellency, there is no time to lose. You will be awakened again now."

After he finished speaking, the face on the helmet gradually became lifelike. He opened his mouth wide, and the souls of the miners who were in a daze, as well as Wu Changyong's subordinates who were controlled by Zhao Wanwan with secret techniques, all floated out of their bodies without being able to resist and were sucked into the body by Eunuch Yin.

Ning Xiu was fighting the purple-haired zombie. He had been steadily suppressing his opponent and had the upper hand, but at that moment, the purple-haired zombie's body suddenly underwent a huge change.

His body, which had been crippled by his own use of the fifth level of Dengfeng Force, began to swell up again. The broken bones healed themselves one by one, and even the fist mark on the purple-haired zombie's face was restored to its original state.
