Chapter 127: Chapter 126
Uncle Nine has been quite troubled lately!
Mainly due to two things.
First, many people in the town have disappeared without a trace—neither alive nor dead bodies have been found!
Though none of these people were good, often oppressing the common folk and deserving their fate, Uncle Nine still felt something was wrong!
Second, Uncle Nine noticed that his eldest apprentice, Qiusheng, had been looking increasingly haggard, with severe dark circles under his eyes, as if his energy was being drained, indicating a severe depletion of his vital energy!
This condition clearly suggested that he had encountered something unclean, which had been siphoning off his vitality.
After some thought, Uncle Nine decided that his apprentice's situation was more pressing.
There's a difference between close and distant relations!
He decided to first deal with the unclean thing lurking around Qiusheng before investigating the town's disappearances.
That night, Uncle Nine stealthily followed his apprentice home and discovered that Qiusheng had been seduced by a female ghost, spending all his time with her.
Uncle Nine was furious and immediately wanted to destroy the ghost, but Qiusheng intervened.
Qiusheng pleaded for the female ghost, claiming she hadn't harmed him and that they were genuinely in love...
Uncle Nine sighed helplessly and eventually agreed to spare the female ghost, on the condition that they had no further contact.
Humans and ghosts are on different paths!
If Qiusheng continued to be with the ghost, he would soon lose all his vitality and die.
Before leaving, the female ghost revealed something to Uncle Nine...
"Daoist priest, you are so keen on exorcising demons and evil spirits, but there's someone using human lives to raise corpses. Why don't you intervene?"
"What did you say?"
Uncle Nine was shocked: "Stay and explain clearly, who is using human lives to raise corpses?"
The female ghost replied, "That person is very frightening. I dare not approach, but from their appearance and clothing, they must be someone prominent in the town!"
"What do they look like?" Uncle Nine pressed.
"Very young, quite handsome, tall, with sharp eyes..."
Qiusheng quickly added, "Master, could Xiao Yu (the female ghost) be referring to the tutor employed by the Ren family?"
Uncle Nine did not answer but asked the female ghost, "Are the lives used for raising corpses those of townsfolk?"
The female ghost nodded immediately, "Yes, they are all bad people from the town... Honestly, I don't know if that person is good or bad!"
"Using human lives to raise corpses makes them no better than those bad people!"
Uncle Nine snorted coldly, then asked, "Do you know where this person is raising corpses?"
"Yes!"
"Take me there!" Uncle Nine's expression was stern.
Uncle Nine ignored the wicked deeds of others.
But if someone was raising corpses, he had to intervene.
If a powerful monster were to be raised successfully, it would wreak havoc on the human world!
...
The full moon hung high in the sky.
Under the bright moonlight, a young man left Renjia Town alone and arrived at the entrance of a cave on the mountain. He moved the huge stone blocking the entrance and walked in without any fear.
As soon as he entered the cave, several dark shadows rushed towards him.
With swift movements, he chopped them down.
Instantly.
The dark shadows turned into pieces, falling to the ground.
Receiving a prompt from the system, the young man smiled with satisfaction and began cleaning up the remains.
It wasn't to destroy evidence.
He dug many deep pits beside the cave, burying the corpses of these little zombies in them.
While the young man was doing all this, a terrifying zombie covered in white hair watched him silently...
This zombie was none other than Old Master Ren!!
Old Master Ren was no longer an ordinary zombie!
Last time, this damn thing tried to escape, and the young man saw it take a step that was almost like flying...
By zombie rankings, Old Master Ren was at least at the "flying zombie" level now!
As Old Master Ren grew stronger, his intelligence also increased.
Although he didn't understand why the young man was messing around like this, he knew that this hateful human was up to no good!
He silently warned himself that he was not yet a match for this human and needed to develop quietly and accumulate strength.
Once strong enough, he believed that by drinking this human's blood, he would undergo a qualitative change...
A moment later.
After dealing with the corpses, the young man turned to the calm Old Master Ren.
"The pig is fat enough..."
Once the pig is fat, it can be slaughtered!
The young man knew that Old Master Ren's strength was increasing.
Although he could still overpower Old Master Ren, if he kept feeding him, Old Master Ren would eventually surpass him.
The young man wasn't foolish enough to nurture a threat.
To avoid being counterattacked, he planned to start raising a second zombie tomorrow and then eliminate Old Master Ren, continuing this cycle and reaping the benefits!
As long as the young man maintained absolute dominance over the zombies, he had no fear of rebellion!
Indeed!
In truth, the young man was the real big villain!!
Old Master Ren still couldn't understand human language, but the young man's predatory gaze instinctively scared him...
"Hmm?"
At this moment, the young man suddenly frowned and looked behind him.
In the distance, four figures were approaching.
To be precise, three men and one female ghost.
If he fled now, he could definitely leave before they arrived.
However, he did not move.
In this world, no one could make him retreat or hide, not even the president!
As the great villain, he had to maintain his dignity!!
A moment later.
Uncle Nine and his companions approached.
Wen Cai was startled upon seeing the white-haired zombie beside the young man.
"Master, there's really a zombie!"
Uncle Nine's expression was extremely grave.
His eyes were sharper than Wen Cai's, and he could tell at a glance that the white-haired zombie was terrifying and beyond his ability to control.
What puzzled Uncle Nine was why the zombie didn't attack the young man and seemed somewhat afraid of him??
"Mr. Chen, you're really raising corpses here!!"
Uncle Nine questioned sternly, "Do you realize how dangerous this is? That zombie has already become a menace. If it decides to wreak havoc, no one will be able to stop it!"
The young man ignored Uncle Nine's question, instead coldly staring at the female ghost:
"Didn't I warn you not to meddle in other people's business? Did you really think I couldn't deal with you?"
Terrified by the young man's fierce gaze, the female ghost trembled and hid behind Qiusheng.
"Chen Ye!!" Uncle Nine shouted, "Your actions are no different from those of evil spirits! Today, I must stop you from harming others!"
"Oh? Uncle Nine, you want to stop me?"
The young man brushed the dirt off his fingers and asked with a smile, "Do you think you can stop me?"
