Zhu Changyang half-hugged Jun Shu, feeling his breathing gradually subside, and was thinking about how to survive this crisis.
Suddenly, Tan Tai Bu Qi shouted in surprise: "Yan Yan, be careful!"
The wind howled in the valley, and the ground beneath his feet shook violently. The talisman formation set up by Tan Tai Buqi was crumbling, and a strange corpse aura seeped in.
Zhu Changyang had no choice but to hold Jun Shu tightly. He turned his head to look, his breathing stagnated and his heart was in his throat.
Dong Yaoyan looks young and beautiful, but she is actually two hundred years old. As the Demon Lord of Hui Sect, her strength is unrivaled in the Demon Realm and she is slightly stronger than Hu Daogui.
Seeing that it had gained the upper hand, the evil energy like seaweed in the sky wrapped around Hu Daogui, crushing the strength he had driven, and was about to stab him in the face.
Hu Daogui's face turned purple, and an evil aura instantly emanated from his body, dispersing Dong Yaoyan's evil spirit.
Dong Yaoyan stood under the moon, her long hair flying like a ghost, forcing Hu Daogui to be almost unable to move. Her voice was still delicate, "Hu Daogui, tell me the truth, what are you doing with these bastards in my cliff tomb?"
Hu Daogui's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he said with a grim smile: "Since you want to know, I'll let you take a look."
With a wave of his long sleeves, a bright red pill exploded. He inhaled it, shouted loudly, and waved his hands rapidly.
The hollow was suddenly filled with the aura of corpses. The cliff tomb trembled, and the tombstones piled up in the four corners rolled to the ground. With a rumbling sound, three coffins broke out of the ground from three corners.
Those coffins were very similar to the coffin that Hu Daogui had lain in before. They were all made of black wood, and strange runes were painted on the coffins with a red liquid.
As soon as the coffin emerged from the ground, the lid flew open and three corpses jumped out of the coffin.
The moonlight was hazy, and the demonic energy was too strong, so the valley was dark and unclear, but one could feel the captivating cold wind, and the sound of clothes fluttering in the wind.
Tan Tai Buqi felt something was wrong, so he flew several talismans towards the places where the corpse energy was strongest. The talisman fire lit up, reflecting the scenes in those places.
In the dim firelight, three corpses could be vaguely seen, all of whom had white hair and beards and looked very old.
Two of the bodies were as dry as rotten wood, but one was still shiny and plump, like a living person.
The state of a cultivator after his death is related to the skills he practiced during his lifetime. This shows that these three corpses are not from the same sect.
But no matter whether they were dead or alive, the three of them exuded a terrifying corpse aura and had been transformed into living corpses.
Zhu Changyang's heart shuddered. These three zombies were completely different from ordinary corpses. They clearly had no consciousness at all, but as soon as they appeared, they exuded a terrifying oppressive force.
In addition, the robe worn by one of the zombies looked very familiar; it was the robe of Yaoyin Pavilion.
The theft of the tomb of the predecessor of Yaoyin Pavilion was indeed done by the Yuxu Sect.
And in the last corner, the puppet that trapped Xia Jue's soul also began to move, its limbs turning with a "creaking" sound, and its facial features painted with red liquid flowing slowly, looking particularly strange in the dim firelight.
Recalling what Zi Jiuwen had said before, Zhu Changyang suddenly had an idea.
The Yuxu Sect stole the bodies of fallen masters from various sects to make zombies. It seemed like this was a long-planned and deliberate plan.
However, he acted carefully and was never discovered.
Until Xia Jue fell into the five stages of aging, Si Kou Luo, in order to fulfill his mentor's wish, sought an elixir to prolong Xia Jue's life.
It is not easy to steal the body of a master, because the death of great men is often due to failure in overcoming tribulations, and it is difficult to keep the physical body.
Only a very small number of them die of decline.
The Yuxu Sect tried their best but only managed to steal a few of them. So knowing that Xia Jue was about to die, they must have had some ideas. So they used the same old trick and gave the Jijin Sect the problematic pills.
Originally, given Xia Jue's condition that day, her death was almost inevitable. After her death, her consciousness disappeared and her breath was gone.
The Yuxu Sect then cast a spell to summon her body away from thousands of miles away, making it extremely difficult for the Jijin Sect to discover.
Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened during the process. Zhu Changyang actually helped Jijin Sect find the giant turtle scale armor. Xia Jue survived and did not die.
However, those pills eventually took effect, and as a result, Xia Jue's weak soul left his body and was captured by the Yuxu Sect, trapped in the Xuannv Cauldron for refining, and then made into a doll using non-ash wood, trapping the refined Xia Jue's soul inside, turning it into this wooden zombie.
However, the net of heaven is vast and long, and nothing can escape it. Xia Jue is, after all, a powerful man of the time, and he still left a clue even though he was extremely weak.
He even left a breath for the distraught Tu Chaofeng outside Kuduhe Town.
It seems that the forest outside the town may have been caused by the activities of the zombies of the Yuxu Sect, which left too much evil spirit and created a maze, so that even someone who was familiar with the road conditions like Tu Chaofeng was blinded and unable to get out.
At this point, all the clues were connected together and the truth was clear.
Dong Yaoyan looked at the zombies, her smile faded slightly, and her tone became more mocking: "Oh, it turns out that the famous and upright sects are also practicing evil ways like us. Why are they so hypocritical on weekdays?"
Hu Daogui said with a chuckle: "This is the magic of our sect. How can you rats compare to it?"
"As expected of a famous and upright sect. Even their farts are exceptionally loud." Dong Yaoyan gave a light scold and her demonic energy enveloped the four zombies.
Then he was shocked.
The four zombies were all masters of their respective sects when they were alive. They had strong bodies and vast but now exhausted seas of consciousness.
As soon as Dong Yaoyan's evil spirit approached, it was swallowed up by the zombies' sea of consciousness and was unable to do anything to them.
Not only that, the zombies were refined by Hu Daogui using evil methods, and they exhibited an extremely terrifying corpse aura.
Hu Daogui laughed loudly, "The gods and demons of heaven and earth are all at my disposal."
He raised his hands and made a gesture as if lifting a puppet, and four zombies flew into the air, occupying the four corners and trapping Dong Yaoyan.
The four-cornered black mountains, corresponding to the zombies, instantly burst out with extremely terrifying power, like huge waves pressing towards Dong Yaoyan.
Dong Yaoyan was horrified and tried to fly upwards, but she didn't know that a strong corpse energy pressed down from above, trying to penetrate into her sea of consciousness.
Dong Yaoyan's beautiful eyes glowed red, and she let out a loud shout. The demonic energy in the sky almost condensed into a solid entity, and the rocks were shattered wherever it passed.
The Black Mountain rumbled and shook, as if it was about to collapse at any moment.
But the next moment, the evil spirit was madly absorbed by the vast sea of consciousness of the four zombies.
At the same time, the four zombies disappeared, changed their positions, and pressed towards Dong Yaoyan with even more majestic power.
The corpse qi broke through Dong Yaoyan's defense and seeped into her sea of consciousness bit by bit, forcing her to howl, "Ah—"
The battle between the two mighty men shook the mountains and the earth, and immediately shattered Tan Tai Buqi's already precarious talisman formation.
The corpse qi and demonic qi invaded together, Zhu Changyang felt dizzy and quickly took out the gas mask and put it on himself and Jun Shu.
Don’t forget to give the developers one too.
Of course, the more likely possibility is that he was crushed to death by Hu Daogui before being poisoned to death.
Tan Tai Buqi hurriedly put on the mask, rushed out regardless of the flying sand and rocks, and shouted anxiously, "Yan Yan!"
The talismans were lit at the four corners, cinnabar lit up, and the powerful power of the talisman pressed towards Hu Daogui.
Hu Daogui chuckled, waved his right hand, and the corpse qi tore the talisman into pieces and attacked Tan Tai Buqi.
But the next moment, two talismans suddenly appeared in front of Hu Daogui, taking advantage of the extremely brief moment when the corpse qi broke through the formation and gained a tiny gap.
A loud thunderclap sounded immediately, with flashes of lightning. It was the best quality lightning-inducing talisman, and its power was comparable to that of a small thunderstorm.
Hu Daogui could withstand most of the thunder, but he was fighting with Dong Yaoyan and could not afford to lose, so he could only fly back several feet in a hurry to avoid the thunder.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his attention was distracted, two more talismans were attached to the two zombies, and thunder struck again.
These zombies were so strong that lightning could not break them, but the lightning fire containing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth suddenly rose up and burned a large amount of corpse gas. The power that suppressed Dong Yaoyan weakened, and she immediately stood up, and her eyes turned red, like two pools of blood.
The evil spirit spread out, shocking Hu Daogui's blood and energy so much that he almost couldn't control the four zombies.
Hu Daogui was greatly surprised, his eyes were like cold rays, shooting at Tan Tai Buqi, "I underestimated you."
Bend two fingers and the technique will come out.
The wooden zombie that had been refined with Xia Jue's soul suddenly appeared in front of Tan Tai Buqi. The wooden hand raised up to grab his throat and twisted it hard.
Tan Tai Buqi’s eyes bulged out and he felt like his neck vertebrae were about to be broken.
Suddenly, a silver light flashed beside him, and a powerful sword intent came from the side and hit the wooden man's wrist, making a sound.
The wooden man's hand was cut off at the wrist, and it released Tan Tai Buqi's neck and fell to the ground.
The sword intent was so astonishing that it even cut off the hand of a wooden corpse of Xia Jue's level.
Tai Buqi thought that Jun Shu had regained consciousness, but when he glanced at him, he saw that the person wielding the sword was actually Zhu Changyang.
It turned out that Zhu Changyang had been keeping an eye on the situation in the valley while taking care of Jun Shu. Seeing that Tan Tai Buqi was in danger, he was desperate and used his Gu Peng swordsmanship again.
Before Gu Peng's death, he was as famous as Xia Jue, but his sword skills were better. It was not surprising that his sword skills broke Xia Jue's wooden palm.
However, Zhu Changyang's swordsmanship relies entirely on luck, and the skill enters cooldown after one move. If Xia Jue attacks again, Tan Tai Buqi will still not escape death.
Sure enough, the wooden man immediately raised his left hand and waved towards Tan Tai Buqi.
Tan Tai Buqi was about to take out the talisman, but the wooden hand did not pinch him. Instead, it gently patted him, raising a gust of wind and sending him back to Zhu Changyang's side.
Tan Tai Buqi was stunned and looked up. A powerful cultivation power exploded in front of him, forming an invisible shield wall in front of them, separating them from the corpse magic that was destroying the valley with ease.
The facial features on the wooden man's face slowly moved, and he let out an inaudible sigh, "Go away."
It turned out that Zi Jiuwen sent Xia Jue into the wooden man in a hurry, but Xia Jue had not been completely refined by the Xuannv Ding, and a trace of consciousness still remained.
The fierce fight just now awakened her consciousness, and at the critical moment she spared Tan Tai's life.
He also used his remaining skills to build a narrow path for them to escape.
"Fairy, you..." Tan Tai Buqi's heart moved, his nose slightly sour, but he immediately showed a stern look, "I can't run away like this."
He was usually naughty and willful, and often caused trouble for the sect, but he always kept the sect's teachings in mind.
This time he came to find Xia Jue's soul. Xia Jue left them a chance to live, so he couldn't just leave like that.
What’s more, there is Yanyan.
Tan Tai Buqi gathered his mind, sat down cross-legged, and prepared to concentrate.
Zhu Changyang: "What are you going to do?"
Tan Tai Bu Qi: "The Yuxu Sect has set up a magic array on the cliff tomb, turning this place into a place to raise corpses. Only by breaking the array can we restrain Hu Daogui."
Just now when he set up the talisman formation to fight with Hu Daogui, the talisman magic was restrained by some kind of magic formation power.
Then several lightning talismans fell on the zombies. The thunder magic and the corpse qi were counteracting each other, but the zombies immediately produced new corpse qi.
He then knew that the magic circle had the effect of nurturing corpses.
This also explains why Hu Daogui traveled thousands of miles to the dangerous Demon Realm to do such a thing.
The cliffs and mountains are dangerous, sharp and broken, and are extremely ominous places. There are tens of thousands of demon corpses underground and the plague is even more terrifying.
However, these are exactly what Hu Daogui wants.
Set up a magic circle and feed the zombies with millions of corpse poisons. As long as the magic circle is not broken, the zombies can continuously obtain corpse qi.
All the tens of millions of demon corpses were used by Hu Daogui.
Zhu Changyang understood, thought for a moment, and handed him the piece of Kunshan jade, "Take this and try it."
When Tan Tai Bu Qi saw him take out the white jade just now, he felt that the white jade was full of spiritual power. Now that he had it in his hand, he realized that the spiritual power of the jade was not only abundant, but also surging. He looked at Zhu Chang Yang in surprise: "What is this jade?"
Zhu Changyang coughed lightly and said in a low voice: "A piece of jade from Kunshan."
"What Kunshan jade piece..." Tan Tai Buqi didn't react for a moment, and was shocked after a moment, "Wait, Kunshan jade piece! No, it can't be the piece on the Kunshan sword?"
Zhu Changyang nodded, "That's it."
Tan Tai Bu Qi: "...???"
Zhenren Gu Peng's Kunshan Sword is also very famous. Ever since the collapse of Gu Peng Secret Realm, the entire cultivation world has been looking forward to it, waiting for the Kunshan Sword to appear again.
Everyone guessed that the person who got the Kunshan Sword must be a master swordsman.
Tan Tai Buqi never expected that he would suddenly see the jade on the Kunshan sword under such circumstances.
What was even more unexpected was that the one who got this treasure of concentration was actually Master Zhu.
Masters, how many surprises do you have that the Nine Realms and Eighteen Continents don’t know about
