390: The ancestor of the Yin corpse, a zombie
In the City.
Inside an inn.
Jing Qiu glanced at Xie Weilou and the other two, and said indifferently, “This Yin Corpse Sect gives me a bad feeling. Something might happen, so be careful.”
“Mhm!”
Shen Tu nodded lightly.
Lu Jin sneered, “The Yin Corpse Sect might be considered a major sect in the Wu River area, but looking at the Great Xia, it’s just a third-rate force. Even if there’s trouble, it won’t be big trouble.”
Shen Tu said solemnly, “We still can’t underestimate them! I heard that the Yin Corpse Sect Master wasn’t too shocked when he heard that the Three Sects’ items were stolen. Instead, he was full of confidence in the Yin Corpse Sect. Where do you think he got that confidence?”
For an evil cultivator to steal things from the Three Sects, their methods must be extraordinary. Yet the Yin Corpse Sect Master was so confident. Could it be that he thinks the Yin Corpse Sect is stronger than the Three Sects?
“......”
Lu Jin raised his eyebrows slightly. Upon closer thought, it did seem a bit off.
Xie Weilou sat on a chair, legs crossed, looking completely nonchalant, as if none of this concerned him.
He seemed to have thought of something.
Xie Weilou looked at Shen Tu: “Senior Brother Shen Tu, do you know where the Evil God Lake is?”
Shen Tu said in a deep voice, “I don’t know the exact location of the Evil God Lake! I had a brief exchange with people from the Three Sects before. According to them, to go to the Evil God Lake, one needs to enter the Mist Forest. There is a mysterious Yin River inside, and by following it, one can reach the Evil God Lake.”
He further explained, “The Mist Forest is located in the western part of the Wu River, three hundred li from here, and there are many demonic beasts inside.”
“So that’s how it is!”
Xie Weilou smiled indifferently and asked no more questions.
Jing Qiu took out a jade talisman, then formed a hand seal, injecting a stream of power into the talisman…

Night.
Inside a huge plaza of the Yin Corpse Sect, tables and chairs were already prepared, laden with fine wine and delicacies. Hundreds of braziers were placed around, and numerous cultivators from the Wu River area gathered there.
The Yin Corpse Sect had sent out invitations for a banquet, and the various large and small forces in the Wu River naturally dared not refuse, so they had to send people to attend.
However, their impression of the Yin Corpse Sect was not good, so they naturally dared not eat the food here.
Xie Weilou and the others sat in a spot, waiting silently, also not touching their chopsticks or wine.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, on the platform at the very front of the plaza, the Yin Corpse Sect Master flew over.
“Greetings, Sect Master!”
The Yin Corpse Sect disciples all bowed.
“Greetings, Yin Corpse Sect Master!”
Many cultivators around stood up and quickly bowed.
The Yin Corpse Sect Master looked at the people around him, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. He waved his hand lightly, signaling everyone not to be overly polite.
“Today, I have invited all fellow Daoists to be guests at my Yin Corpse Sect for a major event… which is that my Yin Corpse Sect’s Old Ancestor has emerged from seclusion!”
A meaningful smile appeared on the Yin Corpse Sect Master’s face.
“......”
Everyone stared at the Yin Corpse Sect Master with solemn expressions.
It was rumored that the Yin Corpse Sect had an Old Ancestor with a Dao Repository Realm Peak cultivation, but that Old Ancestor was extremely mysterious, and few people had ever seen him.
Now that he had emerged from seclusion, had he perhaps advanced further?
“Please welcome the Old Ancestor!”
The Yin Corpse Sect Master respectfully bowed towards a certain direction.
“Please welcome the Old Ancestor!”
The people of the Yin Corpse Sect also bowed with full respect.
Boom!
A terrifying surge of cold power swept in, the yin wind howled incessantly, and a strange blood-red light appeared in the gloomy sky.
Four elders of the Yin Corpse Sect were seen carrying a four-meter-long decaying wooden coffin, flying over. The coffin was covered with mysterious patterns, and the two protectors followed on either side.
The four elders carried the coffin to the platform, then bowed and retreated.
“......”
Everyone gazed at the decaying wooden coffin. Perhaps today they would finally see what this Yin Corpse Old Ancestor looked like.
The Yin Corpse Sect Master bowed to the decaying wooden coffin: “Old Ancestor, please emerge from the coffin!”
Crack!
The coffin lid suddenly opened, and a dense blood-red mist emanated from inside. The yin wind became even more biting, and the flames in the surrounding braziers flickered wildly.
“Roar!”
From inside the coffin, a roar sounded. A three-meter-tall old man in blood-red battle armor stood up.
His face was dark, his eyes blood-red, sharp fangs grew from the corners of his mouth, his skin was festering, pus flowed, and his entire body was filled with death qi and poisonous qi. At a glance, he did not look like a normal human, but rather a gigantic zombie!
“This… This is a zombie?”
“The Yin Corpse Old Ancestor is a zombie? How is this possible?”
“A Profound Manifestation Realm aura. The Yin Corpse Old Ancestor has entered the Profound Manifestation Realm.”
Upon seeing the Yin Corpse Old Ancestor, the people around revealed looks of horror.
It was well-known that the Yin Corpse Sect liked to refine and raise corpses, but no one had expected that the Yin Corpse Old Ancestor was actually a zombie.
“Hoo!”
The Yin Corpse Old Ancestor opened his mouth wide, and a mouthful of blood-red mist diffused out. Then he looked at everyone present, the blood-red light in his eyes growing even denser, as if he had seen delicious food, and a murderous intent.
“......”
The cultivators present changed their expressions slightly and immediately retreated.
The Yin Corpse Sect Master’s smile was sinister. He instantly took out a blood-red token and crushed it forcefully.
Buzz!
The moment the blood-red token shattered, a blood-red pillar of light shot into the sky. The light spread, forming a huge formation that surrounded the entire Yin Corpse Sect.
Xuan Bei’s gaze narrowed, and he immediately looked at the Yin Corpse Sect Master: “Yin Corpse Sect Master, what is the meaning of this?”
The Yin Corpse Sect Master said with a bloodthirsty smile, “My Old Ancestor’s entry into the Mystic Form Realm this time consumed a lot, and he urgently needs to feed! I hope all fellow Daoists will oblige.”
The Yin Corpse Sect’s Old Ancestor was indeed a zombie that had developed intelligence, but even with intelligence, he found it difficult to change his habit of drinking blood.
The invitation to numerous cultivators today was precisely to allow the Old Ancestor to have a full meal.
Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces immediately became incredibly grim.
Yun Lan said with a sullen face, “Yin Corpse Sect Master, do you really intend to harm the people of the Three Sects? Aren’t you afraid of your sect being annihilated?”
The Yin Corpse Sect Master said with a playful expression, “Your destruction will all be the work of evil cultivators. What does it have to do with my Yin Corpse Sect?”
Xuan Bei stared coldly at the Yin Corpse Sect Master: “You don’t seriously think that one Mystic Form Realm expert can suppress everyone present, do you?”
The Yin Corpse Sect Master smiled faintly, “The people of the Three Sects naturally have trump cards, but who told you there’s only one Mystic Form Realm expert here?”
He looked towards a direction and cupped his fists, “Three fellow Daoists, please come out!”
Whoosh!
A whooshing sound echoed as three Mysterious Persons, dressed in black robes and wearing masks, appeared. Demonic energy emanated from them, and all of them were at the early Mystic Form Realm cultivation.
“Three Mystic Form Realm evil cultivators!”
Shen Tu summoned a battle halberd, his expression incredibly solemn. Perhaps these three evil cultivators were their true targets.
The Yin Corpse Sect Master looked at Xuan Bei and said with a smile, “The evil cultivators you are looking for are these three fellow Daoists. My Yin Corpse Sect has already partnered with them in advance.”
These three evil cultivators used a special method to help the Yin Corpse Old Ancestor advance further, entering the early Mystic Form Realm.
And in return, his Yin Corpse Sect would give the yin ghost clock to the three, and incidentally entrap and kill the people of the Three Sects…
