54: I have to hold this thigh tightly

A moon-white figure suddenly stood in mid-air, looking indifferently at the drought zombie.

"Zhao Qingge!!!"

The madness on the black-clothed old man's face instantly froze, and his pupils behind the bronze mask contracted violently.

Zhao Qingge's cool gaze fell on him: "Hmph! Your Five Yin Sect has grown bolder, daring to raise corpses with living people on my territory?"

An invisible pressure, like Mount Tai pressing down, enveloped Xuan Yin.

Xuan Yin's body suddenly cowered, his black robe clinging to his back, as if held down by an invisible large hand.

"Fifth Realm!!!"

Didn't those people say she hadn't passed the Five Declines of Heaven and Man yet?

The flesh on Xuan Yin's face twitched, but at this moment, he still held a glimmer of hope.

Even if I, an early Fourth Realm cultivator, plus a peak Fourth Realm drought zombie, can't win, I can at least run, right?

His eyes narrowed, and he pushed the bell in his hand forward: "Tear this woman apart first!"

"Roar!"

The drought zombie's blood-red eyes opened, devoid of any emotion, only pure desire for slaughter.

"Noisy!" Zhao Qingge's eyes slightly narrowed, and with a wave of her fair hand, a jade plaque landed on the factory roof.

The moment the jade plaque touched the roof, it suddenly erupted with a golden light that reached ten thousand feet.

The golden light cascaded like a waterfall, countless runes swirling and flashing, emanating a majestic heavenly might.

"Crack — Boom!"

The thousand-square-meter factory building was ravaged by a violent spiritual energy, instantly twisting, deforming, and sinking.

A hint of unprecedented fear actually appeared in the drought zombie's blood-red eyes, which only held the desire for slaughter.

But facing the majestic heavenly might of the jade plaque, it didn't even have a chance to struggle, turning into dust in a blink of an eye.

That was a fierce creature even stronger than a Fourth Realm body cultivator! It couldn't even withstand a single blow from this woman!

Xuan Yin stared dumbfounded, the madness on his face instantly replaced by despair.

He didn't hesitate at all, turning around and fleeing.

But as soon as he took three steps, he felt a chill down his back.

A jade plaque suddenly pierced through his heart.

Without any surprise, he followed in the drought zombie's footsteps.

Lu Ming's eyelids twitched as he watched.

Fierce, truly too fierce.

Is this the strength of his convenient aunt?

Her clothes didn't even move, and with a raise of her hand, she suppressed and killed this person and this ghost.

I must hold onto this powerful backer firmly.

Zhao Qingge landed in front of Lu Ming, her charming peach blossom eyes glancing at him sideways.

Seeing Lu Ming's dumbfounded expression, she actually felt happier than successfully breaking through to the Fifth Realm this morning.

But she still had to maintain her facade.

Zhao Qingge glanced at Xuan Yin's corpse, her eyebrows furrowing: "What exactly happened?"

Lu Ming then came back to his senses: "I don't know, why didn't you leave a living person?"

The smile on Zhao Qingge's lips stiffened. She had just broken through to the Fifth Realm and wanted to show off in front of this kid, so she naturally hadn't thought about leaving anyone alive.

You little rascal Lu, after you hung up, I rushed here anxiously to save you, and you, on the other hand, immediately blamed me for not leaving a living person?

Seeing his old-fashioned appearance, Zhao Qingge suddenly leaned down and whispered in his ear, a hint of slyness flashing in her eyes: "You little rascal, are you blaming your aunt? That old ghost said he would pulverize you, so how could I let him live?"

The familiar scent of pine wood wafted from her nose, and a warm breath brushed his ear. Lu Ming's mouth twitched.

This woman is flirting with me again!

But is it really okay for you to do this in front of Zhao Li?

Sure enough, Zhao Li's cool voice came from behind, carrying a hint of imperceptible jealousy: "Aunt?"

Zhao Qingge subconsciously took half a step back, distancing herself from Lu Ming: "Xiao Li!!! Why are you here?"

Zhao Li's cool eyes stared at her: "Why can't I be here? Should I be under the car?"

Zhao Qingge was momentarily speechless.

Lu Ming stood to the side, looking at Zhao Qingge's embarrassed expression, barely holding back a laugh.

Zhao Qingge noticed Lu Ming's gaze and glared at him fiercely, as if blaming him for not reminding her.

Lu Ming felt a chill down his spine from her glare, looking up at the sky, then down at the sea.

I don't know, I don't know anything.

I thought you, a mighty Fifth Realm expert, would have already discovered them.

And Wang Yaowen and Lin Haowen were trembling even more, staring intently at the ants under their feet.

At this moment, their hearts were undergoing nothing less than a magnitude nine earthquake.

This was even more shocking than Lu Ming slaying the Fourth Realm Daoist Jingling.

That incredibly beautiful woman is Director Zhao of the Night Watch Division, right?

The woman who was so serious on TV actually showed such a girlish demeanor in front of Team Leader Lu.

It seems she's also the Big Sister's aunt, right?

Hiss, Team Leader Lu is truly a role model for us!!!

I dare not think about it, wouldn't even dare to.

Unfortunately, it relies too much on appearance; even if I wanted to learn, I couldn't.

Zhao Qingge, being an experienced official, quickly adjusted, her face once again showing authority.

Looking at the surging waters of the Jiangyin River, Zhao Qingge seemed to have thought of something, and her expression became very solemn.

She first glanced at Xuan Yin's corpse, a sneer suddenly appearing at the corner of her mouth:

"So that's it. These Five Yin Sect fools, not knowing their place, hid here to raise corpses, probably intending to use the drought zombie's special ability to cut off the river and divert its flow, to scheme for what's at the bottom of the river."

"Something at the bottom of the river?" Lu Ming was startled by the words, looking curiously in the direction of the Jiangyin River.

The muddy river water surged endlessly, showing no abnormalities.

Zhao Li also frowned: "Isn't that stone coffin just a legend?"

"Not a legend, it's real!" Zhao Qingge walked to the riverbank, gazing at the churning waves. She suddenly turned back and looked at Lu Ming, asking: "Have you heard of 'Slaying the Three Corpses'?"

"Slaying the Three Corpses?"

Lu Ming was stunned, fragmented memories rapidly flashing through his mind.

The concept of 'Slaying the Three Corpses' wasn't obscure even in his previous life.

As early as the Han Dynasty, Taoist scriptures recorded, "There are three corpses within a human body. The three corpses are truly spirits, ghosts, and gods. Therefore, those who seek immortality must first remove the three corpses."

And the so-called three corpses, also known as the Three Peng, initially referred to a person's greed, anger, and carnal desires.

According to the Taoist scriptures, if one wished to become an immortal, they had to eliminate these harmful emotions. But over many years of evolution, it gradually transformed into the idea that to become an immortal, one must slay the evil corpse, the good corpse, and the ego.

There were even rumors that Daoist Ancestor Hongjun and the Three Pure Ones all achieved sainthood by 'Slaying the Three Corpses' to attain the Great Dao.

Could it be that someone in this world cultivated 'Slaying the Three Corpses' and succeeded?

Does that mean... there are 'Immortals' in this world!

Lu Ming's heart tensed. It seemed the waters of Great Xia were much deeper than they appeared on the surface.

Never mind the Reincarnators, now there are even Immortals.

No wonder the overall strength of the myriad alien races was significantly stronger than Great Xia, yet they only dared to probe outside the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races.

Who knows if there are still ancient old monsters alive within Great Xia.

And how do the current Transcendent beings compare to Immortals?

Zhao Qingge seemed to have read his thoughts, suddenly turning around and smiling.

"It's not as serious as you think."

"There is indeed an ancient corpse at the bottom of the river. It once caused trouble for a while, but was later suppressed at the bottom of the river by a master. I don't know which old fool spread the rumor that it was the evil corpse of an ancient great power."

"Let's go. The Jiangyin River is filled with surging Yin evil energy, and it's not easy to cut off the river and divert its flow, unless..."

"Unless those old immortals personally make a move..."
