All kidding aside, Rocks really asked me to be the captain!

"Clang~" "Clang~" "Clang~"

The clear sound of the bells faded into the distance.

Master Simu and Master Yixiu silently watched Master Qianhe depart into the distance.

"The weather is unpredictable, and fortune can change in an instant. If Junior Brother can overcome this tribulation, he may truly have a chance to successfully establish his foundation!"

Four Eyes sighed, then patted Master Ikkyu's bald head. "Like a hard-boiled egg~"

"Amitabha Buddha, monks do not lie. The Four-Eyed Taoist's mouth is the most like a swallow's mouth I've ever seen!"

Master Ikkyu remained calm and unperturbed, simply continuing to berate the Taoist priest who had been his partner for decades.

"Master Qianhe, why are you frowning so much? Is there something you're unhappy about regarding the Seventy-First Prince's orders?"

The effeminate man pinched his orchid-like fingers and called out to Daoist Qianhe with a hint of reproach.

"Sir, the weather is changing erratically with frequent thunder. I am truly worried that something might go wrong. We can still return to my senior brother's temple in time..."

As the aura of the royal zombie inside the bronze horn and golden coffin grew increasingly intense, Daoist Qianhe couldn't help but feel his heart race.

"Hmph! With our Seventy-First Prince here, what's there to be afraid of in a zombie? Our Seventy-First Prince's dragon aura can completely crush it! There's no way it could turn into a zombie!"

"If you're scared, leave now and get out! Our Qing Dynasty has plenty of feng shui masters who can subdue zombies!"

While trying to please the seventy-first prince, the effeminate man tossed a pink handkerchief to Daoist Qianhe.

"Speed ​​up and leave immediately!"

The effeminate words fell

The four apprentices, from east to west and north to south, looked at their master.

Only after Master Qianhe nodded with a dark expression did they continue to ring the bell and set off.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck from the sky!

The whole world seemed to have been instantly illuminated!

Thick bolts of lightning swept down from the horizon!

Before Daoist Qianhe's shocked eyes, the lightning bolt struck the bronze horn coffin directly!

The four terracotta warriors pushing the coffin were instantly jolted violently by the powerful voltage, and after a muffled groan, they fell straight to the ground, lifeless.

The surrounding people, the other guards of the Qing Dynasty, and the four Taoist disciples from the east, west, south, and north were all stunned by this scene.

As Master Qianhe gazed upon the bronze horn and golden coffin, a sense of foreboding washed over him.

He saw it very clearly just now.

The coffin was bound by a black dog's blood rope net, and the creatures inside were all restless and moving around. Now, the lightning strike had dispersed the power of the lightning among the four soldiers, which just allowed the royal zombie to gain momentum!

A battlefield general! A member of the frontier royal family! Possessing innate dragon aura! And he even successfully transcended tribulation!

The zombies that came out were not even green zombies; they were at least terrifying white zombies capable of tearing apart Foundation Establishment cultivators with their bare hands!

As is well known, zombies are classified according to the level of human cultivators into rotten zombies, white zombies, green zombies, black zombies, blood zombies, flying zombies, and so on.

And the royal family members from the frontier are already at the White Zombie level as soon as they appear!

That's enough to show how terrifying it is!

This seems to confirm Master Qianhe's guess.

The black dog-blood rope net binding the bronze horn and golden coffin suddenly emitted a ghostly red, bloody light!

The thing inside was shaking incessantly, as if trying to break free of the coffin!

"Oh no! North, south, east, west! Quick, get a rope!"

When Master Qianhe saw the strange change in the coffin, he was startled and cried out in surprise.

His four apprentices quickly moved in all directions to fetch a thick rope!

This rope, as thick as a cup, is stained with rooster's blood; its yang energy is ridiculously strong!

Once he got the rope, Master Qianhe jumped right onto the coffin!

But in that instant! The coffin lid arched up, tearing the rope net, and then with a loud bang, Master Qianhe was sent flying out along with the coffin lid!

"what!"

A scream came.

Master Qianhe, who was pressed tightly under the coffin lid, turned his head and saw a scene that made his heart stop!

His apprentice, Adong, had been drained of blood by the zombie and was now lying on the ground convulsing uncontrollably!

Meanwhile, the white zombie that had sucked the Taoist's blood began to grow patches of green fur on its body!

Their strength is even more terrifying!

"South, West, North! Form a formation immediately to control it!"

"The profound origin of Heaven and Earth, the root of all Qi, through countless eons of cultivation, I have attained divine powers; within and beyond the Three Realms, only the Dao is supreme."

"There is a golden light covering my body!"

As soon as the incantation was uttered, Daoist Qianhe was immediately enveloped in golden light, which shone brightly in the dim night.

He kicked the golden coffin lid off, raised his peach wood sword, and slashed at the heart of the royal zombie!

With a foot landing on the ground for leverage, Daoist Qianhe leaped into the air, his peach wood sword piercing fiercely towards the royal silver-armored corpse!

However, the zombie, which was tightly restrained by the rope, suddenly leaned backward!

It just so happened that it avoided the vital spot where Master Qianhe's sword blade pierced!

puff!

The peach wood sword pierced straight into the zombie's abdomen.

Master Qianhe's heart pounded wildly, realizing he hadn't been killed in one blow!

But the zombie turned around!

The century-old peach wood sword that Master Qianhe had gone to great lengths to acquire was broken instantly!

The zombie's arm slammed into Master Qianhe!

Immediately, Master Qianhe was sent flying like a rag doll by that immense force! Bloody ribs protruded and pressed against his Taoist robe.

"Master!"

The three disciples from the south, west, and north cried out in worry and ran towards Master Qianhe.

In contrast, Uncle Nine's two useless disciples, faced with this situation, would be lucky not to run away, let alone react.

"Hey, what are you all standing there for? Protect the Emperor! Protect the Emperor! Protect the Seventy-First Prince! Otherwise, when we get back to the capital, we'll make you pay!"

"South, North, and West! Don't worry about her! You all need to run back to your Uncle Four Eyes and ask for help!"

"This zombie is now in your care, Master!"

Master Qianhe clutched his chest, forced down a mouthful of blood, and slowly stood up.

"Come on!"

Master Qianhe looked at his three unmoved disciples and shouted angrily.

He knew that these disciples would definitely die if they stayed here!

Although he could run away and get treatment after being stabbed by a zombie, no one here would survive once he left!

At this moment, his faith suppressed his instinct to survive, and he forced Chizuru to raise the broken sword to block the royal zombie!

Upon hearing this, the apprentices hardened their hearts and took one last look at their trembling master.

He then escorted the soldiers and the so-called Seventy-First Prince into the dense forest.

All that remained at the scene were a few unfortunate souls being sucked blood by zombies and Ah Dong's still-warm corpse.

"Grandmaster, I am utterly incompetent... Today... I have failed to live up to your expectations..."

Master Qianhe looked at the sky and murmured to himself.

The royal zombie seemed to have smelled the delicious taste of Master Qianhe's blood and jumped straight over.

But at this moment.

Luo Hou's figure slowly emerged from the space behind Daoist Qianhe.

"Stop shouting, your ancestor can't save you, but I should be able to."
