Awei, visibly frightened, quickly said to Ling Xiao.
"Go, go, go! Take the suspect and push my uncle's body. Escort me back to the Yamen!"
He hurriedly urged his subordinates to escort him away.
"Make sure to investigate thoroughly, Cousin! Don't wrong a good person!"
Ren Tingting quickly spoke up.
"Don't worry, Cousin will definitely avenge Uncle!"
Awei immediately stood tall, then smugly glanced at Ling Xiao.
However, he didn't notice a foot suddenly sticking out from under his wheelchair.
Crack!
As the wheelchair rolled over the foot, it instantly lost balance.
"Ah ah ah—!"
In the next moment, Awei, along with the chair, crashed straight to the ground with a loud cry.
"Captain, are you alright?!"
"Captain—"
The surrounding team members stifled their laughter and hurried over to help Awei up.
"Serves you right! Ptooey!"
Qiu Sheng, the culprit, despite the pain in his foot, proudly spat.
"What are you laughing at! Ugh, it hurts like hell. Move!"
Awei, helped up, glared fiercely at Qiu Sheng before angrily marching toward the Yamen with all his men.
"Alright, go back and get ready with your senior brother. We'll be counting on you tonight."
Uncle Nine, now shackled, gave a serious reminder to Ling Xiao and the others before leaving.
"No problem!!!"
Ling Xiao nodded in response.
Indeed, everything had gone according to Ling Xiao's plan.
Master Ren was, of course, not dead. Ling Xiao had used his powerful medical skills to simulate a state of false death.
He also knew that Uncle Nine would be captured—everything was part of the plan to lure that evil Taoist into lowering his guard.
With Ren Weiyong now significantly more powerful, there was no doubt the enemy would return tonight.
And that would be the moment he died.
"Let's go. Back to Potter's Field!"
Ling Xiao said calmly. After nodding toward Ren Tingting in the hall, he left with Qiu Sheng.
As for Ren Tingting's safety, there were now five Green Zombies hidden beneath The Ren Family grounds, and Old Master Ren had become his Zombie—there was absolutely no risk.
……
A few minutes later, Senior Brother Ling Xiao and the others returned to Potter's Field.
"Wen Cai, Qiu Sheng, get Master's gear ready. Tonight you'll go save him. I'll stay to protect Miss Ren!"
In the courtyard, Ling Xiao gave his orders.
"Huh? We go save Master? Senior Brother, maybe we should guard Miss Ren instead. You're stronger—you should save Master?"
"Yeah, Senior Brother, wouldn't that be much easier for you?"
Hearing Ling Xiao's plan, Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng both pulled long faces.
They weren't strong enough to rescue anyone. Plus, Awei's people had guns—one misstep and they'd be dead.
"Sure, sounds good. Tonight, Old Master Ren will probably come after Miss Ren. I'll leave him to you then."
Ling Xiao nodded approvingly.
"What?! A Zombie?!"
The word sent Wen Cai into a screaming panic.
"Ahem, Senior Brother, maybe we should go save Master instead."
Qiu Sheng shrank his neck and replied awkwardly. After all, Old Master Ren was a Hair Zombie—even Master couldn't beat him. They'd be dead before any rescue could happen.
"Then why are you still here?!"
Ling Xiao snorted coldly, sending the two of them scrambling to pack.
Ling Xiao, on the other hand, returned to his room and entered the Divine Tomb space with his consciousness.
"I wonder what I'll get from these four Green Zombies!"
Arriving in the mysterious space, Ling Xiao immediately saw four dismembered Zombies lying nearby.
These were the Green Zombies Uncle Nine had killed the night before.
"If I bury all these Green Zombies, they should at least yield two or three Hair Zombies. That would significantly boost my Zombie strength! In that case, bury them all!"
With that thought, Ling Xiao didn't hesitate and gave the burial command.
Buzz!
As his order was given, a surge of pitch-black energy materialized from thin air.
Four grave pits opened up in the Divine Tomb space.
Buzz!
Then, the four Zombies floated into the air and slowly descended into the graves.
Soon, the pits began to close.
Ding… Congratulations, you have buried an Early-Stage Green Zombie. Gained EXP: 1000, Silver Dollar: 1000!
Ding… Congratulations, you have buried a Mid-Stage Green Zombie. Gained EXP: 2000, Silver Dollar: 2000!
Ding… Congratulations, you have buried an Early-Stage Green Zombie. Gained EXP: 1000, Silver Dollar: 1000!
Ding… Congratulations, you have buried a Mid-Stage Green Zombie. Gained EXP: 2000, Silver Dollar: 2000!
……
A string of system notifications rang in Ling Xiao's mind.
Rumble—!!
Suddenly, a powerful wave of warmth surged through Ling Xiao's entire body like a flood.
In an instant, his cultivation rose from the Sixth Heaven of the Earth Master Realm to the Seventh Heaven.
Ding… Congratulations, your realm has advanced to Seventh Heaven of the Earth Master Realm!
Ding… The newly buried Zombies have received: +50 Years of Cultivation Support! Gained new Zombies: Low-Grade Hair Zombie ×2, Peak Green Zombie ×2!
Several more system notifications chimed in succession.
"Two Hair Zombies! What a harvest!!"
Feeling the strong aura from the four Zombies, Ling Xiao smiled in satisfaction.
Peak Green Zombies were just on the cusp of evolving into Hair Zombies. It was clear that if he buried them for a few more days, they would definitely become powerful Hair Zombies.
Rumble—!!
Just then, a sudden bolt of thunder erupted from the endless void.
In a flash, it struck directly onto one of the grave pits.
Roar!!!
A deafening Zombie roar burst forth from within.
Boom!!!
The grave pit exploded instantly.
Crackle!
A Zombie cloaked in lightning leapt out from the ruins and landed before Ling Xiao.
"It actually awakened the power of Thunder!!"
Ling Xiao was ecstatic at the sight.
The power of Thunder was one of the most advanced elemental forces in nature.
Ding… Special reward triggered. Gained High-Grade: Thunder Zombie! Zombie Corpse Qi +50 Years! Advanced to Mid-Stage Hair Zombie!
