Uncle Nine: I became Master Qianhe, and my fame resounded throughout the Daoist sect.

As the group set off, everyone was incredibly excited, like wild horses let loose.

Their excitement stemmed from the fact that they were about to meet the emperor.

However, they were overthinking it; they went there but couldn't find anything.

Only Vice Minister Wu and the Seventy-first Prince could see them.

However, Chizuru didn't care about this. He secretly planned that once he arrived in the capital, he would turn around and leave, and from then on have nothing to do with the Manchus.

Of course, he also had to submit a written statement of refusal to participate to the imperial court; otherwise, it wouldn't work.

As for what he will do after resigning, it's simple: find a place similar to Renjia Town to take charge, and then try to catch ghosts to exchange for performance in the underworld in order to get a good job there.

The saying "money can make the devil turn the millstone" perfectly illustrates this point.

Just like Lin Fengjiao, even though he is still alive, he is the bank manager of the underworld.

Even if he were to pass away in the future, it would only bring him benefits, not harm.

Living now is earning ghost money, which is also accumulating merit.

Of course, although he has a system, he can also accumulate achievements in the underworld, which can only benefit him and not harm him.

.....................

"Hmm... I wonder where those hordes of evil spirits are? I want to capture them all in one fell swoop." Chizuru stroked her chin, pondering to herself.

However, at that moment, the voice of the Peak Tournament System exploded like thunder.

[Ding! The Peak Match System has detected a Peak Match. The mission is to help Zhong Fabai in the Ghostly Coffin dungeon world by defeating Issey Miyake. The mission reward is the third form of the Seven Killings Order of Gods and Demons: Soul Chasing Order.]

Upon hearing this voice, Chizuru's lips twitched slightly.

He was just thinking about catching ghosts when the system appeared as if it could read his mind.

Yes, what he was thinking about was that world of ghosts, those cherry blossom ghosts in the police station.

Those little cherry blossom Japanese soldiers all committed seppuku during the War of Resistance against Japan and have been following Issey Miyake ever since.

"I wonder if capturing them all and throwing them into this underworld would earn me some credit?" Chizuru wondered to herself.

After all, ghosts from two different worlds don't have household registration.

[Ding! Host, do you wish to accept the mission?]

"System, after accepting the mission, could you delay it for a few days? At least until I can transport this mission back to the capital?"

He was genuinely worried that the old man might suddenly rise from the dead and wipe them all out as he left, which would be a huge problem.

At that time, he would really be in deep trouble, and his business would be ruined. Not to mention the Qing court, Maoshan would definitely come after him.

......................

【Can. 】

"Then accept it."

Upon hearing that it was possible, Chizuru agreed without hesitation.

Since the task is already in hand, we can just complete it slowly.

As for whether or not Zhong Fabai can be saved, of course we will! How can we complete the mission if we don't?

Anyway, the instance will give him the power to control the time there.

That way, there won't be any problem if he goes there later.

After figuring it out, Chizuru closed her eyes and began to cultivate.

Anyway, he was in the carriage.

He couldn't just wait for the system to grant him cultivation points; he had to cultivate himself too.

At least you have an innate Dao body, right?

For the next period of time, the team set off during the day and camped for rest at night.

They were all traveling on national highways.

And so they continued on for three days and three nights.

At this moment, Qianhe is focusing on his cultivation, and there are signs that his late-stage Earth Master realm is beginning to weaken.

However, he was not in a hurry. He knew that he was just one step away from reaching the peak of the Earth Master realm.

Awakening from her cultivation, Chizuru looked around.

At this moment, they were in the middle of nowhere, but in reality, they were surrounded by dense forests.

Night fell like a giant black curtain, enveloping the ancient forest in utter silence.

The moonlight, like a silver veil, filtered through the dense foliage, casting dappled shadows, yet it could not penetrate this dark world.

At that moment, another group of people approached, their voices growing louder as they drew nearer.

..........................

“Oh dear, you tell me, if a dead person goes into a sulfur pool, are we really not going to retrieve him? The village chief’s words are still ringing in our ears.”

Ah Ying's voice came from afar. They were corpse drivers, or rather, imposters.

He, Fat Cat, and a few brothers were involved in smuggling opium by pretending to be dead.

When they entered the city, the village chief lied to them, saying that his younger brother had died of syphilis and that he had asked a corpse-transporting team to take the performer's body out of the city during the festival.

Although they were skeptical, they still took the money. However, after leaving, they passed a sulfur pool and accidentally submerged the dead body in it, which really caused a huge problem.

Of course, they didn't know they were about to be doomed.

Chizuru and the others also heard the sound at this moment. They looked up and gazed into the distance.

At that moment, the sounds from afar continued to come.

"Hey, it's okay. Anyway, once that sulfur pool is sunk in there, no one will know about it."

“Yes, we don’t need to worry about it,” another male voice chimed in.

Hearing their conversation, Chizuru felt that they were being extremely dishonest.

They actually sank the dead into sulfur pools.

"Master, they've gone too far!"

"Exactly, to sink dead people into sulfur pools is utterly heinous."

At this moment, people from all directions spoke indignantly.

It is important to know that the dead should be respected and many people hope that the deceased can be laid to rest. However, these people who transport corpses actually sink the bodies into sulfur pools. What are their intentions?

“If they don’t retrieve the bodies, their actions will cause them to turn into zombies,” Chizuru smiled.

What world is this?

Zombie world.

The corpse could turn into a zombie just like that.

Don't you dare to insult a corpse; it might turn into a zombie and bite you at any time.

However, he never expected that his competitors would act so recklessly.

Chizuru doesn't know yet that they're from the Seven Heroes of the Demon-Chasing Sect, otherwise she wouldn't consider them colleagues.
