Upon hearing the good idea of Maoshan disciple Qiu Sheng, all the masters of Shenzhou Taoism were amazed.

Yup!

Zombies are not good things, and neither is life.

Then we give zombies to our daily lives and give bad things to bad people, and that way negatives equal positives!

After everyone was amazed, another disciple of Maoshan Sect, Wencai, suggested:

Since we are going to send a zombie, we should send a stronger one. I heard that the First Emperor in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor has been sealed for more than 2,000 years, and he has deep resentment. If this thing is resurrected as a zombie, its magical power is simply unimaginable. If this can be given to Xiao Ri, I am afraid that it can kill all the people on those islands.

After hearing Wencai's suggestion, the Taoist masters present were amazed again. They all sighed that the Maoshan Sect was really lucky to have produced two outstanding talents like Qiu Sheng and Wencai!

However, after being amazed at Wencai's suggestion, everyone felt hesitant.

After all, he is the emperor, the legendary Zulong, the greatest emperor of all time!

Not to mention how powerful the First Emperor would be after he turned into a zombie, even the First Emperor's Mausoleum was buried deep underground, and the mausoleum was full of mercury poison after the mercury evaporated. Many tomb-robbing masters who knew where the First Emperor's Mausoleum was located knew, but none of them dared to go down to the tomb. These Taoist masters were good at fighting zombies, but asking them to rob tombs was somewhat unprofessional.

So while everyone was hesitating, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, a pair of brothers, came up with a good idea.

Why don't we deliberately spread the news and lure the Demon Slayer Corps over here?

Aren't the Demon Slayer Corps and Shinobu Kocho all research madmen? Since they are all research madmen, they must be interested in the First Emperor who has turned into a zombie, right? I might as well spread all kinds of news on a daily basis, saying that the First Emperor is about to be resurrected! Then I can lead the Demon Slayer Corps into the First Emperor's Mausoleum, let the two groups fight to the point of both being defeated, and our Shenzhou Dao Sect can reap the benefits!

Soon after, the Shenzhou Dao Sect used the moves that Prince Arisugawa had used on Xiao Rizi again. Suddenly, all the newspapers in Xiao Rizi began to report the news that the First Emperor might be resurrected as a zombie, and the headlines of the newspapers all read:

《Shocked! This kind of thing actually happened in the Qin Dynasty 2,000 years ago! 》

"Hello everyone, I am Qin Shi Huang, but I am not dead!"

"A 90-year-old woman in Qishan came back to life, hundreds of sows in Lantian screamed in the middle of the night, the truth behind all this is actually..."

"Zombies, abandoned by all living things outside the Three Realms and Six Paths, are immortal and indestructible..."

……

With the deliberate spread of the Shenzhou Dao Sect, all kinds of outrageous news quickly swept across most of Xiaori. In less than a month, at least 50 million of the 70 million people in Xiaori knew about the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang and the news that the First Emperor was about to be resurrected as a zombie.

Under the catalysis of various rumors, the news began to spread more and more outrageous. What about the First Emperor, who was eight feet tall, looked like a Kui Niu, had a green face and fangs, and was a demon that appeared once in a thousand years, who liked to drink human blood and eat human flesh. It was also said that the reason why Xu Fu took 3,000 boys and girls on a boat to the east was actually to find a deserted island to conduct an experiment on immortality, with the goal of becoming an immortal!

And with the stigmatization of the First Emperor, the zombies, who were originally unknown in their daily lives, now became famous.

Many people even boasted that the zombies in Shenzhou were extremely evil creatures, excluded from the three realms and six paths by all living beings, immortal and indestructible, and much more powerful than the ghosts in our daily legends. If the First Emperor was really resurrected, he would be invulnerable to swords and guns, water and fire, able to fly and hide, and omnipotent. The world might be about to end!

For these outrageous reports and rumors, people with a discerning eye will naturally not completely believe them. Just because they don't completely believe them doesn't mean they don't believe them at all. The news about Qin Shihuang and zombies eventually attracted the attention of some people. For example, after seeing the news, the members of the Demon Slayer Corps, although they didn't believe that zombies were really that powerful, felt alert.

After all, he was the first emperor who ruled the world more than two thousand years ago. If he was really resurrected as a zombie, he should be much more powerful than Muzan Kibutsuji.

In addition to the Demon Slayer Corps, there is another person who also reacted strongly to the news that the First Emperor was about to be resurrected. This person was Xu Fu, who split into countless clones and secretly influenced the situation of his daily life.

Prince Arisugawa, the strongest of all Xu Fu's clones, saw the report in the newspaper. He was furious at first, and then a fear that penetrated his soul continued to spread from his heart. Recalling the back figure that once dominated the world, Prince Arisugawa's wretched face was full of trembling, and his mouth said intermittently:

"He's alive? How is he alive?!"

Chapter 136 Exploring the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor

As it turned out, Prince Arisugawa's plan failed.

The reason for this is actually due to the negligence of Xu Fu as a ghost.

Xu Fu, as a ghost, has survived for more than two thousand years. During these two thousand years, Shenzhou has always been a giant standing beside Xiao Rizi. For a long time, the strengths of the two countries were not proportional. Even so, Xiao Rizi had the upper hand for a while, but the ideological imprint shaped by two thousand years still existed firmly in Xu Fu's mind.

Also influenced by Xu Fu's original body, all of Xu Fu's clones, including Prince Arisugawa, a member of the royal family, have views on Shenzhou that are completely different from the mainstream society.

On the one hand, they covet Shenzhou, dreaming of conquering the whole Shenzhou one day, and then dominating the world and becoming the second first emperor. But on the other hand, they are full of fear of Shenzhou. They always feel that although Shenzhou is weak, it must be a place of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. Even if they are rampant now, their foundation is still far less than Shenzhou's thousands of years of profound heritage.

This attitude towards the contradictions in Shenzhou is the reason why Xu Fu made the strategy of diverting the trouble to the east. Because Xu Fu felt that there were many masters in Shenzhou, and these masters would definitely rely on their own strength to run rampant in other countries, just like in the two thousand years of Shenzhou history. So as long as he provoked a little, he could provoke the Shenzhou Daomen and the Demon Slayer Corps to fight each other to a defeat.

From an objective point of view, Xu Fu's views on the two countries were not wrong, and could even be regarded as mature and prudent. However, Xu Fu ignored the great changes that had not happened in 3,000 years, and the huge impact on all aspects of China.

Indeed, with thousands of years of civilization in China, there are many masters who can rival Shinobu Kocho. But the problem is that these masters also know that they can't compete with foreign guns and cannons. It's not that there are no masters in China who want to rely on their personal strength to reverse the country's situation, but the facts have proved that no matter how powerful traditional kung fu is, it can only kill zombies and is meaningless in front of steel behemoths.

Therefore, Xu Fu's actions in Shenzhou were purely a waste of effort. Instead, it led to the Taoist sect in Shenzhou resorting to extreme means, trying to open the Mausoleum of the First Emperor and awaken the First Emperor!

It is true that at this time, the Shenzhou Dao Sect only wanted to lure out the snakes and use the Mausoleum of the First Emperor to deal with the Ghost Slayer Corps who were rumored to like human experiments. But if the future Xiaori really invades Shenzhou, the masters of the Shenzhou Dao Sect will inevitably reveal this trump card after despair. And once the First Emperor of two thousand years ago is resurrected, the situation of the whole world will change dramatically.

After all, he was the First Emperor, the First Emperor known as the Zulong!

Even without the terrifying power of the thousand-year-old zombies, the prestige of the First Emperor alone was enough to make Xu Fu feel fearful.

Don't look at the Confucian scholars who have denied Qin Shi Huang in various ways and thrown all kinds of dirty water on him for two thousand years. But Xu Fu knew that these Confucian scholars were always more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish things. They seemed to have a loud voice in the history of China, but in fact, their influence on the history of China was minimal. They were purely tools for those in power to maintain their rule, and were never the people in power themselves.

Not to mention that with the great changes that only happen once in three thousand years, the Confucian scholars who traditionally held the right to speak have become stinking shit in China. What China needs now is not a good man, nor a gentle and compromising Liu Xiu and Zhao Kuangyin. What China needs now is absolute power and absolute authority.

China needs an iron-fisted figure who can eliminate all differences with decisiveness, unite all forces with absolute tyranny, develop the military industry with an iron-fisted approach, and establish a tiger and wolf army with generous rewards and severe punishments!

And the First Emperor fully meets all the needs of China!

The current Shenzhou does not care about the cruelty of the First Emperor, nor does it care that the First Emperor is a zombie. They only need the First Emperor to lead them to re-establish the dignity of this nation. As long as all this can be done, all the cruelty and bloodthirstiness of the First Emperor are just a trivial price!

Because China is now at a critical juncture of life and death, despair and madness are enough to make this country sacrifice everything!

Therefore, once the First Emperor is resurrected, it won’t take long for him to become the king who unifies China again.

Just because he is the First Emperor, just because he is the First Emperor!

This reason is enough to rekindle hope in the desperate Shenzhou. This reason can also make everyone in Shenzhou crazy.

And with the First Emperor ruling China, all of his ambitions for a happy life would surely be completely shattered.

……

"He must not live!"

Thinking about the huge impact of the resurrection of the First Emperor, Prince Arisugawa said hysterically with fear and anger:

"He must die and be buried in the earth forever, with no chance of rebirth!"

As someone who had betrayed the First Emperor, Xu Fu, as the original body of Prince Arisugawa, hated and feared the First Emperor more than anyone else. Because he knew that the First Emperor, who would reign over China again, would not only crush his two thousand years of plans and ambitions, but would also not let him, a traitor, go.

"I must make him die, I must..."

Amidst such resentment, Prince Arisugawa, oh no, it was Xu Fu who made a surprising decision.

He was ready to mobilize all his forces to push his country's masters to explore the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor together with the masters of the Shenzhou Taoism.

Of course, Xu Fu also knew that the Shenzhou Dao Sect had bad intentions and might even defect to the First Emperor on the spot. But Xu Fu was not afraid, because he was ready to gather his scattered clones again and hide in the masters who were going to Shenzhou.

In Xu Fu's opinion, with his two thousand years of cultivation, unless there was an abnormally powerful existence like Jiguo Yuanyi in the Shenzhou Dao Sect, he would definitely be able to defeat the Shenzhou Dao Sect. Then he used his two thousand years of cultivation to reseal the First Emperor, or even kill him completely.

Of course, Xu Fu's actions were not without cost. Taking back most of his clones meant that Xu Fu had to give up many of the forces he had built up for a long time. But facing the threat of the First Emperor, Xu Fu had no choice.

……

"What? Let's go explore the Mausoleum of the First Emperor?"

At the new meeting of the Pillars, when the Demon Slayer Corps leader, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya, said this, it immediately caused a huge reaction among the people present. Then Ubuyashiki Yoshiya continued:

"Not only our Demon Slayer Corps, but also the military and the royal family will send experts. This exploration of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor is a joint operation between our country and Shenzhou. However, since our country's officials lack powerful experts, this operation is mainly in the charge of our Demon Slayer Corps."

"According to the request from above, our Demon Slayer Corps needs to send three powerful swordsmen to Shenzhou to explore the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor together with the three masters of Shenzhou Taoism. In addition, the royal family and the military will each send a master to Shenzhou. The eight masters represent various forces, and their purpose is to explore the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor while sealing the First Qin Emperor who may have transformed into a corpse."

There are eight masters, three from Shenzhou Dao Sect, three from the Demon Slayer Corps, and two from the royal family and the military...

Hearing about the personnel configuration for this operation, Shinobu Kocho asked in confusion:

"Why are there so few masters from the Shenzhou Dao Sect in this operation? Wasn't Shenzhou the main victim after the First Emperor's corpse turned into a corpse? Why do they feel less active than us?"

In response, Ubuyashiki Yoya said:

"Although the number of people in the Shenzhou Dao Sect is small, they are all masters among masters. The one sent by Wudang Mountain this time is Liu Yuxuan, a sword wizard who appears once in a century. It is rumored that she once swept across the Western Regions and killed the thousand-year-old zombie Queen Loulan with her sword. The one sent by Longhu Mountain is Zhang Taihua, a genius girl who suppressed the thousand-year-old zombies at the age of twelve. It is said that if she were not a girl, she would be the next headmaster of the Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain."

"As for the most amazing master of the Shangqing Sect Maoshan Sect, his name is Zhao Shixia, and he is the strongest among the younger generation of the Shenzhou Taoist sect. It is said that he has never encountered an opponent since he left the sect at the age of 15. No matter whether he was a martial arts master or a zombie demon, none of them could get within three feet of him. Therefore, the Shenzhou martial arts world praised him as 'within three feet of him, he is invincible.'"

Three feet in front of you, invincible? Is this true?

However, judging from Ubuyashiki Yoshiya's description, the three masters of Shenzhou Daomen are indeed very powerful. Although we don't know how powerful the Shenzhou Millennium Zombie is, the strength of these three people should not be much worse than the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps. Especially Zhao Shixia, who is known as "three feet in front of him, invincible in the world", I am afraid that even the strongest Kocho Shinobu in the Demon Slayer Corps may not be his opponent.

Then I heard Ubuyashiki Yoya say:

"Of course, the above is all information provided by the Shenzhou Dao Sect. As for whether the strength of these three people is as rumored, swordsmen going to Shenzhou need to be careful."

Then, Fuzugawa Shiya asked again:

"What about the masters from the military and the royal family?"

"The military's expert is Nogizaka Bunzo. It is said that he is the descendant of the swordsman Tsukahara Bokuden, who was as famous as his predecessor Tsugokuni Yoshiichi in the past. His cultivation has reached 80% of the swordsman's strength. As for the royal family's expert, it is Prince Arisugawa's daughter, Arisugawa Shusui. She is only 18 years old and has been practicing the Yin-Yang technique left by Abe Haruaki since she was a child. She should not be underestimated either."

Tsukahara Buden, Abe Seimei?

Hearing these two names, which were very important in their daily lives, the Demon Slayer Corps did not doubt their strength. After all, Tsukahara Bokuden's reputation in the past was even greater than Tsugikuni Yoriichi. As for Abe Haruaki, everyone knows him. Apart from other things, his achievement of sealing Tamamonomae, one of the three great demons, is enough to show the strength of this strongest Onmyoji.

After the other masters finished their introductions, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya finally said:

"As for our Demon Slayer Corps, this time I plan to dispatch Rock Pillar, Gyoumei Hiramura, Wind Pillar, Fuzugawa Saneya, and Insect Pillar, Kocho Shinobu, to participate in this operation to explore the Mausoleum of the First Emperor."

Chapter 137 The So-called Devils

Although Ubuyashiki Yoya confirmed the candidates for the exploration of the First Emperor's Mausoleum, everyone present still had some doubts. Then, Fuzugawa Saneya, who was confirmed to go to Shenzhou, said:

"Are we really going to a foreign country like Shenzhou? This is a little weird. We in the Demon Slayer Corps have Ubuyashiki Kōya to deal with, yet we are meddling in other countries' affairs."

In response to this, Beimingyu Xingming, who was born in the Buddhist sect, folded his hands and sighed:

"Amitabha, good, good. If the First Emperor is resurrected as a zombie, then with his two thousand years of cultivation, he will definitely be a great threat to the world, far greater than Muzan Kibutsuji. For the sake of the people of the world, we, the Demon Slayer Corps, will naturally have no choice but to do it."

"That being said, I always feel that our Demon Slayer Corps is overstepping our authority," said Fuzugawa Saneya dissatisfiedly.

Obviously, Fushigawa Saneya didn't really want to be involved in the matter of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor.

Now that the Demon Slayer Corps' breathing method has evolved and they have powerful weapons like ultraviolet lamps, Fuzugawa Mitsuya is still thinking about finding Muzan Kibutsuji as soon as possible and getting rid of him!

In response to this, Ubuyashiki Yoya also sighed:

"To be honest, I don't really want the Demon Slayer Corps to be involved in the matter of the First Emperor's Mausoleum, but the top leaders specifically asked our Demon Slayer Corps to participate in this operation. Our Demon Slayer Corps is a gray organization that walks between black and white. The reason why we have not been suppressed so far is that the top leaders have turned a blind eye."

"So we must perfectly execute the will of the higher-ups. Otherwise, even the survival of our Demon Slayer Corps will become a problem. After all, many people in the higher-ups are worried that our Demon Slayer Corps will use the same methods they use to kill demons on them."

"They are not ghosts, why worry about this?" said Fuzugawa Miyako unhappily.

"In fact, they are ghosts, ghosts that eat people." Kocho Shinobu reminded:

"It's just that the way these ghosts eat people is not so blatant."

After these words were spoken, everyone present fell silent.

In fact, everyone knows some things, but Shinobu Kocho just pointed them out.

"In short, everyone must be careful when going to Shenzhou." Ubuyashiki Yoya reminded:

"The attitude of our country's top leaders is ambiguous. Because of the recent situation, the Taoist masters in Shenzhou will not have a good attitude towards you. The three of you are in a foreign country like this, so you must be cautious. What matters most is to protect yourself, and whether you can seal the First Emperor is secondary."

After hearing Ubuyashiki Yoya's instructions, Shinobu Kocho and the other two nodded in agreement.

Then, Ubuyashiki Yoya said:

"Oh, that's right. Shenzhou is a foreign country after all. Before you go to Shenzhou, you'd better listen to the advice of a senior in our Demon Slayer Corps who has been to Shenzhou before, and beg him to teach you some common sense and taboos about Shenzhou. I think with his guidance, your trip to Shenzhou will be more or less smooth."

"Senior who has ever been to Shenzhou?" Shinobu Kocho asked in confusion:

"Are there any other swordsmen like this among our Demon Slayer Corps?"

"Yes." Ubuyashiki Kazuya nodded.

"I think you have heard of this man's name. He is the former Flame Pillar of our Demon Slayer Corps, Rengoku Shinjuro!"

What, it's him?

"My lord, you are not talking about the senior Shinjuro who became depressed because of his wife's death, right? Has he actually been to Shenzhou?" Fushigawa Minoru asked in surprise.

In this regard, Ubuyashiki Yoya explained:

"When he was young, Shinjuro-senpai was not as decadent as he is now. There is actually a reason why he became like this. I remember it was 20 years ago, when we were on the verge of a war with Qing. At that time, the young and passionate Shinjuro-senpai believed the propaganda of the top leaders, so he temporarily left the Demon Slayer Corps and joined the army."

After hearing this, Fushigawa Minoru and Beimingyu Xingmei, who were just ordinary people, did not realize the seriousness of the matter. But Kocho Shinobu, who inherited the memories of the time traveler, already understood the truth of the matter.

Then Ubuyashiki Yoya continued:

"In that war, Shinjuro-senpai saw hell!"
