System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

Zhang Hao gave a brief instruction and then raised his fist, charging towards the Corpse King.

He did not use the ability to transport corpses.

He had previously heard those Gu Masters say that using forbidden techniques could revive and strengthen the Corpse King, so he wanted to see what kind of power a Corpse King strengthened tenfold would possess.

Once he got close, he leaped up and punched the Corpse King's newly grown head.

The Corpse King's head was covered with a layer of bumpy skin, just like a toad.

When I punched him, my hand felt slippery.

If the force had been weaker, this punch wouldn't have been able to harm the Corpse King.

However, Zhang Hao's strength had already exceeded 10,000 tons, so this little influence could not change the outcome at all.

The moment his fist made contact with the Corpse King's head, a loud "bang" rang out.

The newly grown head of the Corpse King instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist and disappeared.

The once ferocious Corpse King fell backward, crashing to the ground and remaining motionless, dying once more.

"Uh……"

Zhang Hao originally thought these Gu Masters were incredibly powerful, capable of using forbidden techniques to revive the Corpse King and strengthen it more than tenfold.

In the end, he was easily defeated with a single punch.

This even made him suspect that the Corpse King had merely been resurrected and had not been strengthened at all.

If even a tenfold increase only produces this much effect, then how weak was this zombie king originally?

Although Zhang Hao felt that the Corpse King was a bit weak and that he had defeated it with a single punch.

However, the dozen or so Gu Masters watching this scene from a short distance did not think so.

They knew all too well the power of the Xiangxi Corpse King; even if more than a dozen of them joined forces, they couldn't defeat him.

Not to mention the Corpse King who has been enhanced more than tenfold using forbidden techniques.

The Corpse King, enhanced tenfold, could easily crush them with a single finger.

However, this powerful Corpse King was easily defeated by Zhang Hao with a single punch.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that such a thing could actually happen.

At that moment, only they themselves knew the shock they felt.

They died from their natal Gu poison, and each of them vomited blood incessantly.

"He's too strong!"

"It seems we've messed with the wrong person!"

"What can we do? We have no other choice!"

……

After Zhang Hao finished dealing with the Corpse King, he turned to look at the group of Gu Masters. Just as he was about to ask a question, more than a dozen Gu Masters knelt down on the ground in unison.

"Sir, please don't kill us. We were forced into this situation. We'll tell you whatever you want to know."

Zhang Hao grinned. This group of people had been so aggressive just moments ago, but their attitude had changed drastically in such a short time.

"You have no right to negotiate with me. Why are you following us?"

"Our ancestors gave us instructions that we must ensure you can never go back."

"Our ancestor didn't want anyone to take out the mountain gall. She believed that the mountain spirit's greatest strength was its ability to restrain the water spirit. Once the mountain gall was taken out, it would push the water spirit to its limit, and then no one would benefit."

"No, that's not how it is. Actually, our ancestor wasn't like that before. She always hoped that someone could remove the mountain gall and destroy the water spirit, so that the mountain ghost wouldn't be threatened in any way."

About fifty years ago, her personality suddenly changed drastically, and ever since then she has consistently opposed the practice of breaking mountains to extract gallbladders.

……

In order to save their lives, the dozen or so Gu masters spilled everything they knew.

Zhang Hao listened silently without making a sound, and only began to think when no one else spoke.

According to the Gu masters of Xijiang Miao Village, the village's ancestor's personality only changed drastically fifty years ago.

Zhang Hao couldn't think of any other reason why someone's personality would suddenly change, except that the consciousness inside their body was no longer the same person.

In other words, the ancestor of Xijiang Miao Village has actually been controlled by the water spirit. She is the water spirit's traitor planted among the mountain spirits. As long as she is there, it is impossible for something like breaking through the mountain to extract gallbladders to happen.

According to the rules within the Mountain Spirits, all nine ancestors must agree to break through the mountain and extract the gallbladder. If there are fewer than nine ancestors, it will take several decades for a new Mountain Spirit King to take office before all nine ancestors can be gathered.

In other words, even if you know she is controlled by the mountain spirit, you cannot kill her directly.

In that case, because there weren't enough ancestors, we wouldn't be able to break through the mountain to extract gallbladders.

Zhang Hao frowned; this was truly a troublesome matter.

Although the Flying Blood Mirror has been found, the ancestor of Xijiang Miao Village will definitely use other excuses to avoid agreeing to break the mountain to extract the gallbladder.

For a moment, he couldn't think of any way to get the ancestor of Xijiang Miao Village to agree to break the mountain and extract his gallbladder.

Zhang Hao shook his head. There's always a way out. He'll definitely find a solution eventually. Let's deal with the current problem first.

With a thought, a dozen or so seeds resembling jujube pits appeared in his hand.

With a wave of his hand, the seeds flew towards more than a dozen Gu Masters.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

With each sound, a cloud of blood mist appeared in the air, and in the blink of an eye, all the dozen or so Gu Masters disappeared.

"Uncle, if you take care of them all, how are you going to explain this to the ancestors of Xijiang Miao Village?"

"Naive, don't you understand? That ancestor doesn't want us to break through the mountain to get our gallbladders at all. She already wants our lives, so why would she hold back?"

"Fatty is right. Now that we've crossed the line, there's not much to hold back. There's always a way to get her to agree."

Wu Tianzhen nodded upon hearing this: "I understand, Uncle. It was just that the way you launched the seed just now was so cool. Could you teach me?"

"That skill needs to be learned from a young age. You're too old for that. But I can teach you some feng shui techniques."

"Uncle, are you telling the truth?"

"of course."

"That's great. To be honest, I felt like a useless person when I came out with you, Uncle. I'm not good at anything except deciphering ancient texts. Once I learn feng shui, I can help you a lot more."

Zhang Hao obtained many ancient books from the tomb, and Wu Tianzhen learned the feng shui knowledge from them so that she could help him with more things in the future.

In addition, he already had a foundation in ancient writing, so learning it was less difficult for him.

"Alright, we can talk about studying when we get back. Let's go back to Xijiang Miao Village and report to our ancestor now."

"Da da da……"

As soon as Zhang Hao finished speaking, he heard footsteps.

He looked in the direction from which the sound came and saw hundreds of corpses moving toward them.

Some of the corpses were wearing armor, clearly soldiers buried with the general.

There were also some people wearing military uniforms, who were probably warlords who entered during the Republic of China era.

These corpses were covered with black lines like spider webs, and their eyes were also pitch black.

Their fingernails grow continuously, just like sharp little knives.

Corpses, baring their fangs and claws, lunged at the group.

"Roar……"
