"I'm... I'm fine, thank you!!"
The girl blushed and reached out her hand. With Ling Xiao's help, she slowly stood up.
"It's good that you're okay."
Ling Xiao gave a slight smile as he let go of her soft hand, then turned his gaze toward the Zombie not far away.
"Black One, bury him in the coffin!!"
Suddenly, Ling Xiao's voice turned cold and sharp.
As soon as his words fell, the two-meter-tall giant's eyes flashed with a heart-chilling green glow.
"Boom!!!"
The next moment, the giant stomped down, instantly leaving a deep pit in the ground, and shot forward like a streak of black light.
In the blink of an eye, the giant appeared before the Zombie and reached out with a massive hand.
"Boom!!!!"
With another loud crash, the Zombie's neck—and the wall around it—was forcibly grabbed by the giant's hand.
"Roar!!!"
The Zombie let out a painful, terrified howl.
The next instant, its body was yanked from the wall by the giant Black One.
Then, the giant opened the peachwood coffin and stuffed the White Zombie inside.
"Bang!!!!"
With a heavy thud, the coffin lid slammed shut, sealing the White Zombie completely inside.
"Bang bang bang!!!"
The trapped White Zombie frantically slammed against the coffin lid, making the nearby villagers stagger back in fear, terrified it might break free.
"Evil-Suppressing Talisman!!"
Ling Xiao raised his right hand and swiftly began drawing in mid-air.
In an instant, a series of glowing red runes appeared, sketched from thin air, forming into an Evil-Suppressing Talisman.
"Strike!!"
With another sharp shout, the talisman turned into a streak of red light and struck the coffin.
"Buzz!!!"
Flaming red lines spread across the coffin like a spiderweb, radiating outward from the talisman until they covered the entire surface.
The coffin, which had been shaking moments before, fell completely silent.
Such a miraculous scene left all the nearby villagers dumbfounded.
To them—ordinary people—this was nothing short of a divine miracle.
They had seen Taoists before, but someone with actual spiritual skill? That was a rarity.
"Wait a second... Isn't this Little Taoist Master the top disciple of Taoist Priest Yi Mei, the one who came to perform rituals in Lotus Village a month ago!?"
Someone finally recognized Ling Xiao.
"Ah! I thought he looked familiar—so he's Taoist Priest Yi Mei's disciple! No wonder he's so powerful!"
"That's right, I remember now! A month ago, Taoist Priest Yi Mei mentioned that there was evil energy in the graveyard near our village and that it would take three days of ritual to purge it. But because the ritual required breaking the stone stele at the village entrance, the village chief refused—even when Taoist Priest Yi Mei offered to do it for free!"
"Exactly! Now I remember! Sigh... That foolish village chief not only doomed himself but also caused Old Li's death!"
...
...
One after another, the villagers began recalling the events and soon figured out where the Zombie had come from.
"It's over. I didn't expect that after just one year of acquiring the Divine Tomb System, I'd already be strong enough to solo a White Zombie," Ling Xiao sighed, looking at the sealed coffin.
Fifteen years ago, he had transmigrated to this world overrun by Zombies. Thankfully, he was adopted by Uncle Nine, who had just come down from Mount Mao. That's what saved his life and led him to become Uncle Nine's first disciple.
After wandering for a few years, they settled in Renjia Town, later taking in Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng as disciples.
Ling Xiao's talent was impressive—he reached the Third Heaven of the Human Master Realm by the age of fifteen, making him one of the most gifted of his generation.
Just one year ago, Ling Xiao had awakened the Divine Tomb System—a system that allowed him to bury any corpse, Zombie, or Soul and gain rewards in return.
The giant by his side, Black One, was the first Zombie he had ever buried.
It had now evolved into a powerful Green Zombie. In addition to Black One, Ling Xiao had also buried and controlled seven or eight other Zombies at the Black and White levels.
In this world, Zombies were classified as: Black Zombie, White Zombie, Green Zombie, and Hair Zombie.
Black Zombies had strength equivalent to First to Fifth Heaven of the Human Master Realm, White Zombies were equal to Sixth to Ninth Heaven, and Green Zombies reached the Earth Master Realm—a level strong enough to graduate from Mount Mao.
Even Uncle Nine was only at the peak of Fourth Heaven of the Earth Master Realm.
"Thank you, Little Taoist Master Ling Xiao. If not for you, Lotus Village would've been done for tonight."
"That's right, thank goodness you arrived in time! Otherwise, we'd all be dead!"
"Thank you, Little Taoist Master! As expected of Uncle Nine's top disciple!"
...
...
The villagers gathered around, voices full of gratitude.
"There's no need for thanks. It's our duty to subdue demons and banish evil. By the way—the chief and that uncle's bodies have been infected with Zombie poison. I'll take them and cremate them right away. Otherwise, they could reanimate and turn into Zombies."
"And if that happens, the first to die might just be their own families."
