Uncle Nine's expression changed, and he quickly shouted toward Ling Xiao in the distance.
"Got it!!"
Ling Xiao nodded slightly, then stepped forward and instantly appeared beneath the coffin.
"Bang!!!!"
With just one hand, he forcefully lifted the entire coffin—along with the corpse inside—which weighed at least several hundred kilograms.
"What incredible strength!!"
"Yeah, it took five or six of us to lift it together, but Ling Xiao, the Little Taoist Master, just raised it with one hand like it was nothing."
"Amazing! He truly deserves to be Uncle Nine's top disciple!"
Everyone around exclaimed in amazement.
"Four Directions Mysterious Essence Talisman! Activate!!"
At that moment, Ling Xiao shouted in a low voice and used his left hand to form a Taoist seal toward the ground.
"Buzz!!!"
Suddenly, the four corners of the cemetery lit up with a bright glow.
A wave of invisible energy instantly enveloped the ruptured grave.
In an instant, the surging Yin energy emanating from the grave and the coffin was forcibly suppressed.
The previously dark and stormy sky began to clear and gradually returned to daylight.
Everyone around was stunned once again.
"Evil-Suppressing Talisman!!!"
After activating the Four Directions Mysterious Essence Talisman, Ling Xiao didn't stop. His left hand quickly sketched in the air, drawing the same Evil-Suppressing Talisman he had used before.
"Activate!!!!!"
With another low shout, the profound Evil-Suppressing Talisman instantly imprinted onto Old Master Ren's coffin.
The talisman began to spread.
The coffin was instantly covered with glowing red runes, and the Yin energy was sealed within it.
"Bang!!!"
Only at this point did Ling Xiao gently place the coffin on the ground.
"Hahaha, excellent, truly excellent! Your technique has already surpassed mine!"
Uncle Nine was thrilled to see Ling Xiao perform such textbook-perfect moves. At that moment, he even saw a vision of Mount Mao rising once again.
"Master, no matter how good I get, I'll always be your disciple!"
Ling Xiao smiled in response.
"That's right!!"
Hearing this, Uncle Nine straightened up with pride, hands behind his back, beaming with satisfaction.
"Uncle Nine, Little Taoist Master, what was that just now? My father… he hasn't really turned into a Zombie, has he?"
Master Ren quickly approached, looking anxious.
"Indeed. Earlier, my master and I were only 80% certain—now we're sure. Your father has not only turned into a Zombie, but he's also extremely powerful. Much stronger than the Zombie in Lotus Village."
Ling Xiao explained calmly.
"What?! Taoist Priest Ling Xiao, then what should we do?!"
Ren Tingting immediately panicked.
She knew how terrifying the Lotus Village Zombie was.
It was said the ground would cave in wherever it jumped.
Even bullets couldn't kill it.
"Yeah, Uncle Nine, what do we do now?!"
Ren Fa also looked worried.
"What are you afraid of? No matter how strong it is, my master can handle it, right, Wen Cai?"
"Of course! Leave it to my master and our senior brother!"
Before Uncle Nine or Ling Xiao could reply, Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng jumped in confidently and guaranteed the solution.
Ling Xiao was speechless.
Now he finally understood why Uncle Nine had it so rough in the original story—with these two blockheads as disciples, it was a miracle he hadn't died already. They were always biting off more than they could chew.
"The solution is simple. The best option is to cremate the body right here and now—cut off the danger at the root!"
Uncle Nine spoke firmly and seriously.
This was at least a Zombie in the late Green Zombie stage, equivalent to the Fourth Heaven of the Earth Master Realm.
On par with his own strength.
Of course, his abilities were solid, and he could win. But if they really fought, Renjia Town would likely suffer casualties.
That wasn't something he wanted to see.
"What?! Cremation? No, no, absolutely not! My father feared fire the most in his lifetime—no way! Anything else is fine, but not that!
Uncle Nine, Little Taoist Master Ling Xiao, please think of another way!"
Ren Fa immediately panicked and firmly refused Uncle Nine's suggestion.
Uncle Nine frowned upon hearing that.
He had intended to persuade him further, but after seeing how effective Ling Xiao's Evil-Suppressing Talisman was, he changed his mind and let it go.
"In that case, let's carry your father's body to Potter's Field for now. In a few days, I'll find a suitable Feng Shui spot and rebury him."
Uncle Nine could only offer this compromise.
"Alright, alright, thank you, Uncle Nine! You guys, hurry up and carry my father back as Uncle Nine said!"
Master Ren was overjoyed and immediately instructed the workers.
Meanwhile, Ling Xiao had walked over to the side of the grave, gazing into the several-meters-deep vertical burial pit and falling into deep thought.
"With my current level of Mount Mao Taoist techniques, I still can't figure out what's wrong. Luckily, I have enough money—might as well level up my Mount Mao Taoist skill first."
Ling Xiao's eyes lit up, then he immediately opened his attributes panel.
"System, upgrade my Mount Mao Taoist techniques!!"
Without hesitation, he issued the command in his mind.
"Ding… Command accepted. Consuming 1,000 Silver Dollar. Upgrading Mount Mao Taoist Techniques now!"
Soon, a system notification chimed in response.
