At night.
The moon was dark and the wind was strong.
Outside Ren Town, on a barren mountain.
Many Taoist masters were gathered here.
Not far in front of them stood their disciples.
Ninth Uncle was dressed in an earthen yellow Daoist robe and a Daoist crown on his head. He looked righteous and awe-inspiring.
He cupped his hands at the disciples and said,"Martial Nephew, now that the wild ghosts have escaped, in order to protect more people from harm, I need you to act tonight and capture all the wild ghosts that have escaped.”
"Of course, this is also to train your own abilities. Therefore, we will treat this capture operation as an assessment. According to the number of wild ghosts captured, the Martial Uncles and I will prepare some rewards.”
"Remember, we will activate the Innate Eight Trigrams Formation to help you. If you encounter any evil ghosts that you can't deal with, lure them to this barren mountain.”
When the disciples of the Taoist masters heard that there was a reward for this operation, they were all extremely excited.
These Mao Mountain disciples usually lived a relatively poor life with their master.
Not only could this operation train his abilities, but he could also get rewards. It was simply too good.
"That's great. I heard that there's a magic tool among the rewards this time!”
"It's said that even the tenth place and below are worth a lot of money!”
"Tsk tsk, this time, the masters are really generous.”
"Hahaha, I've been in the martial arts world with my master for so many years. I'm best at catching ghosts.”
At this moment.
Even Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai were slightly excited.
"Senior Brother, did you hear that? Even if they were ranked a little lower, they would still get money. That was great!”
Wen Cai had a money-grubber look on his face. When he heard the word 'dayang', his eyes lit up.
Qiu Sheng pursed his lips and patted Wen Cai's head. He said shrewdly,"
"What do you know? The most valuable thing among these rewards is a magical weapon. With a magical weapon, it will be much easier to deal with demons and ghosts. In the future, we can catch ghosts privately and earn more extra money. Money begets money, understand?”
"Oh!" Wen Cai suddenly realized. So that's how it is. Senior Brother, you're still the smartest!”
In the crowd, Jiale and Qingqing were also in the group this time.
Jia Le silently looked at Qingqing's back view, muttering in his heart,""Qingqing, don't worry. I'll definitely stay by your side and protect you well."
As he thought of this, he suddenly realized that Qingqing's gaze had been focused on a certain spot.
Jia Le followed her gaze and fixed it on Su Ze, who was standing tall and straight in a purple robe in front of the crowd.
Wu wu wu!
Jiale felt like crying." Qingqing, I'll definitely protect you and Senior Brother Su Ze well. Sob, sob, sob!"! Woof woof!"
......
Su Ze stood in front of the crowd and listened carefully to Ninth Uncle's words.
The main goal of this operation was to capture and eliminate those fleeing ghosts.
After the Ghost King escaped, he killed the ghost officer who was guarding the Ghost Gate.
This allowed many ownerless souls to escape. Of course, there were also some evil ghosts mixed in!
This operation had to exterminate some evil spirits.
Just like the group of withered ghosts that Su Ze met when he came to Ren Town.
Su Ze also wanted to take advantage of this capture operation to eliminate some evil spirits to replenish his almost empty merit points.
As for the rewards mentioned by Ninth Uncle, he was not interested.
To be honest, with his current strength, mortal items were no longer of much use to him.
The magic weapon rewarded this time was also very ordinary. It was not a high-grade magic weapon like the thousand-year-old peach wood sword.
This wasn't strange. The main reason was that the Maoshan Sect was poor.
The disciples of the Maoshan Sect rarely fought for wealth.
It was mainly because the large orders of the nobles were mostly taken by more famous Daoist sects like the Celestial Master's Palace and the Divine Firmament Sect.
The Maoshan Sect could only take on the work of ordinary people.
For example, Taoist Master Thousand Crane had accepted a corpse transportation order from the border royal family. That was rare in the entire Mao Mountain business.
Of course, this was also because this was a conspiracy.
The person behind the scenes had no intention of letting Taoist Master Thousand Crane and the others live.
Therefore, the other party did not dare to ask the Taoist priest of the Celestial Master's Residence to deliver it. Otherwise, if they touched the people of the Celestial Master's Residence, it would not be so easy to get away.
On the other hand, even if the Maoshan Taoist masters took in disciples, they were all children of poor people.
In order to make a living, their aptitudes were naturally mixed.
Therefore, many of his fellow disciples were envious of Taoist Master Thousand Crane's luck.
She was able to meet such a heaven-defying talent like Su Ze when she was helping an orphan.
It was like winning a 100 million yuan lottery ticket.
Among the disciples of Mao Mountain, Ninth Uncle was the wealthiest.
After all, Ninth Uncle was the owner of the Yin Money Division. He owned the World Bank and could print as many as he wanted.
Therefore, the only magic weapon among the rewards this time was also contributed by Ninth Uncle.
"Wait!"
At this moment, a voice sounded from outside the arena.
Everyone looked over and saw Shi Jian slowly walking over from afar.
"Eldest Senior Brother!"
"Hello, Eldest Senior Brother!"
"Eldest Senior Brother, why are you here for such a small matter?”
The rest of the disciples from Mao Mountain greeted Shi Jian as well.
No matter what happened in the Shing Wong Main Hall during the day.
However, Shi Jian was still the Eldest Senior Brother, and this could not be changed.
Taoist Master Thousand Crane and Taoist Master Four Eyes also cupped their hands politely.
"Eldest Senior Brother!"
Ninth Uncle also cupped his hands in greeting.
A rare smile appeared on Shi Jian's face as he cupped his hands.
"It's like this. I would like to ask everyone to help me find a material in this arrest operation.”
Many of his fellow disciples were puzzled.
They didn't understand what Shi Jian meant.
"Eldest Senior Brother, if you have something to say, just say it!”
Ninth Uncle frowned and went straight to the point.
Shi Jian didn't beat around the bush and said,
"I want everyone to help me pay attention to whether there are any coffin fungi nearby. Because the bad disciple's body is injured, I want to find coffin fungi to nourish him.”
Coffin Fungus?
When everyone heard this, they subconsciously looked at Su Ze.
Speaking of which, wasn't the reason why Shi Jian brought this up because Su Ze had injured his disciple?
Shi Jian smiled.
"I didn't mean to blame Martial Nephew Su Ze. In fact, my disciple brought this upon himself. Therefore, to express my sincerity, I'm willing to offer a 500-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus as a reward.”
The Taoist masters of Mao Mountain were shocked by Shi Jian's generous offer.
Speaking of which, the coffin fungus was a special material.
This was because the conditions to form it were extremely harsh. It required at least one hairy zombie, and it had to cultivate for more than a hundred years. After inhaling and exhaling the essence of the moon day and night, a special Yin Qi formed in its mouth.
This Yin Qi was called Coffin Fungus!
No one expected Shi Jian to offer a 500-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus as a reward.
Speaking of value, this 500-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus could be worth several portions of coffin fungus!
The Taoist masters of Mao Mountain didn't care.
The temptation of the 500-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus was too great.
Not only could it replenish Profound Qi, but it could also be used with alchemy materials to increase one's cultivation.
Moreover, it could also be used as a material to break through to the Heavenly Teacher Realm.
It could be said that it had many wonderful uses.
Therefore, the Tianshan Snow Lotus was very beneficial to the Taoist masters of Mao Mountain.
"Eldest Senior Brother, don't worry. Even if I search the entire area, I will find the coffin fungus!”
"Yeah, no problem. Believe in our strength!”
"Although the hairy zombie is difficult to deal with, with us brothers around, there will definitely be no problem!”
Many of the disciples of Mao Mountain were making their promises.
They were ready to help Shi Jian find the coffin fungus.
Only Taoist Master Thousand Crane, Taoist Master Four Eyes, and the others felt that something was wrong.
"This stingy guy is actually so generous. I don't believe his motive is so simple.”
Daoist Priest Four-Eyed whispered into Qian He's ear.
Ninth Uncle also walked over and said indifferently,
"Be careful that the other party is targeting Ze. I have a feeling that there's something wrong with Shi Jian.”
When Si Mu and Qian He heard this, they nodded in unison.
" We'll deal with whatever comes our way," Taoist Master Qian He said in a deep voice." We'll stay here and watch him!"”
Uncle Nine and Daoist Priest Four-Eyed nodded in agreement.
No matter what tricks Shi Jian played, he was alone. As long as they stayed here to keep an eye on Shi Jian and prevent him from finding trouble with Su Ze, he wouldn't be able to do anything.
On the surface, Shi Jian was chatting and laughing with his fellow disciples.
However, he had already sneered a few times in his heart.
"You bunch of idiots, speaking up for Qian He and the others in the City God's Main Hall during the day. Don't think that I can't tell. Since that's the case, hand all of you over to that Ghastly Puppet!”
Actually, it was a conspiracy for Shi Jian to ask everyone to find Coffin Fungus.
This was a deal with the Ghastly Puppet.
This time, he had sent everyone to find Coffin Fungus because he wanted to use the Ghastly Puppet to kill all of them.
Including Su Ze.
Furthermore, Qian He and the rest were not afraid to watch from here. At most, he would wait for the Ghastly Puppet to finish off this group of people before he would reunite with them to deal with Qian He and the rest.
Hence, Shi Jian's plan was to sell out the people of Mao Mountain.
In order to exchange for Qian He and Su Ze's heads, he had already resorted to unscrupulous means.
So what if he took out this 500-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus?
It was just a tool to lure these people into falling for it.
"Hmph, the Tianshan Snow Lotus is the material I need to break through to the Heavenly Teacher Realm. You idiots want it?!”
Shi Jian sneered in his heart.
However, on the surface, he still pretended to be sanctimonious.
"Hehe, this coffin fungus is quite difficult to find. My energy alone is limited, so I'll have to trouble all of you.”
The rest of the Taoist masters from Mao Mountain did not think too much about it. They formed teams and set off to look for coffin fungus.
As for the disciples, they began to capture the wild ghosts.
Just as Su Ze was about to set off, Taoist Master Qian He came to Su Ze's side and said,"
"Ze, Shi Jian's mission might be a conspiracy. You just need to capture the fleeing ghosts. I think it's dangerous to find Coffin Fungus.”
Hearing this, Su Ze nodded.
In fact, he also wanted to see what other moves Shi Jian had.
Su Ze turned around and looked at Shi Jian, but he didn't do anything.
Then, he went alone to capture the evil ghost.
With his strength, he naturally did not need to team up with the other disciples.
Shi Jian looked at Su Ze's back and sneered in his heart.
He knew that since the other party had actually embarked on the journey, there was only death awaiting him.
Shi Jian himself was sitting cross-legged.
Taoist Master Qian He, Ninth Uncle, and the others did not understand what Shi Jian was up to.
Therefore, he decided to wait and see.
...
Su Ze didn't know about Shi Jian's scheme.
But even if he knew, he wouldn't care. With his current strength, he didn't need to be afraid of any schemes.
Walking alone in the forest, he began to release his magic power to capture any Yin Qi.
It was a small matter for these wandering ghosts to escape from the gateway between Ren Town and the Underworld.
It was mainly because of that Ghost King!
Ever since the last time this Ghost King fought with Ninth Uncle, it had injured him and then disappeared.
After so many days, there was no news at all.
However, with such a Ghost King outside, it was a huge threat to the entire human world.
Moreover, the aura of this newly promoted Ghost King was still unstable.
If the other party completely stabilized his realm, it would be another matter.
According to Su Ze's guess, the Ghost King should have just reached the Xudan Heavenly Master level.
After Su Ze advanced to the Sixth Heaven of the Earth Master Realm, he specifically asked Ninth Uncle about the division of the Heavenly Master Realm.
The Heavenly Master Realm was not divided into nine levels like the Human Master Realm and the Earth Master Realm.
Instead, it was divided into three stages-Void Core, Solid Core, and Golden Core!
Among them, it was divided into small success, large success, and perfection.
Advancing to the third level of the Celestial Master Realm was far more difficult than advancing to the Earthly Master Realm.
It was said that the amount of Spirit Qi needed to advance from the Void Core Realm to the Solid Core Realm was almost the sum of the First to Ninth Heavenly Layer of the Earth Master Realm.
However, with Su Ze's current strength, he really wanted to test if he could touch the Ghost King.
This was not brainless confidence.
After reaching the 6th Firmament of the Earth Master Realm, he had also obtained many skills.
Su Ze believed that even if he encountered a royal zombie again, he wouldn't need to use the Godly Sword Lightning-Controlling True Spell to have the strength to fight.
This was also the reason why Su Ze wasn't afraid of Shi Jian's schemes.
In the past, he had the ability to fight Shi Jian. Now, in terms of strength alone, Su Ze could even fight him without using his ultimate move.
Therefore, he was naturally even more fearless.
While Su Ze was searching for the evil ghost, on the other side of the forest, a Ghastly Puppet covered in a black robe sat on the ground. Around him were dozens of coffins.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The Ghastly Puppet stretched out its bony hand and held a strange bell in its hand, shaking it continuously.
In an instant, the dozens of coffin lids all soared into the sky.
The zombies lying inside all jumped out!
The aura of these zombies soared into the sky, forming a corpse aura that seemed to cover the sky and the moon!
The weakest zombie here was actually emitting the aura of a late-stage green zombie!
Some of the zombies had all kinds of short hair on their bodies, and the Yin Qi on their bodies seemed to have condensed into something corporeal.
These were all powerful hairy zombies!
The aura of each corpse far surpassed that of Old Master Ren who had just advanced to a hairy zombie!
With so many zombies gathered together, even if all the Taoist masters of Mao Mountain worked together, it would be difficult to deal with them!
"Hehe, this time, I've specially taken out the zombies that the Yinshan Sect has stored for nearly three hundred years. Coupled with the control of our sect's magic treasure, the Soul-Suppressing Bell, I'm not afraid that I won't be able to deal with these Mao Mountain Daoists!”
The Ghastly Puppet laughed sinisterly, and at the same time, its eyes emitted a strange green light.
"And that Su Ze, he was able to become an Earth Master at such a young age. If we can refine him into a zombie and bury him in the Nine Yin Cave, we can definitely create a unique flying zombie! It might even be cultivated into a demon!”
As he thought of this, the green light in the Ghastly Puppet's eyes grew even brighter!
At the same time, he shook the Requiem Bell, and the dozens of zombies immediately jumped into the distance like an army.
With a leap, his body, which was filled with Yin Qi, disappeared into the dense forest!
A bloodthirsty massacre began!
