IW: Chapter 154 - I'll Be a Saintess in the Future, Daoist Priest! The Zombie King's Secret!
"Awei, later you tell them to be careful, don't lose their lives."
Lin Jiu instructed Awei. The sound of hooves was getting closer and closer. Compared to the horse bandits, these people were still somewhat inferior, not to mention the other party also had the protection of witchcraft.
Although they could use this information gap to catch the other party off guard, the horse bandits would definitely not be careless once they reacted later. He also didn't want too many casualties.
"I understand, Master, don't worry."
Awei promised repeatedly, while his eyes unconsciously glanced in Bai Ye's direction, feeling that with Bai Ye around, there shouldn't be any accidents, right?
He just needed to ensure the safety of his cousin, Ren Tingting. Moreover, this was an opportunity; he might be able to use this chance to perform a hero's rescue.
He thought, even if she had cultivated with Bai Ye for a period of time, she wouldn't be too powerful, would she?
"Fellow Daoist, remember to leave a living person."
After Lin Jiu finished instructing Awei, he then reminded Bai Ye.
In the past, when Bai Ye made a move, it was either lightning strikes or fire.
He was truly afraid that the demoness wouldn't be able to withstand it and would be killed by Bai Ye, making it difficult for them to get information.
"Don't worry, Dao Brother, I'll pay attention!"
Bai Ye nodded in response. When had he ever been someone who didn't know the gravity of the situation in Lin Jiu's heart?
Bai Ye naturally understood the need to leave Wang Po alive. After all, he still needed to get some information from her later. But even if she died, it wasn't as if Bai Ye had no other way.
It would just mean exposing the Soul-Summoning Banner.
"They're here. Everyone, pay attention."
Everything was ready. Once the horse bandits were in the trap, everyone began to set off the traps they had prepared.
The horse bandits fell off their horses one after another, and then the people behind them blocked their escape route.
Seeing this, the horse bandits didn't try to run. Even though they knew they were ambushed, they weren't afraid. They weren't ordinary horse bandits.
They even had a desire to toy with them, as this group of people didn't know what kind of enemy they were facing!
But as the militiamen's knives fell on their necks and easily cut through them, they immediately realized that the other party seemed to know what kind of enemy they were facing, and had even prepared for it.
However, for them, there was no chance for regret.
"Go!"
Wang Po immediately shouted when she saw the situation. The horse bandit gang was the foundation she had painstakingly accumulated. These people had followed her for a long time, and most of them had cultivated with her.
It wasn't easy to cultivate such a group of people. Wang Po originally thought that her descent from the mountain this time would be like before, but she didn't expect the other party to be prepared.
But she had never heard of a Daoist priest coming here.
Generally speaking, once other Daoist priests came here, others would notify them to be careful, or whether they could find an opportunity to eliminate the other party.
"Don't let her run away!"
Snowflake released her Gu worms. After she confirmed that the person in front of her was the one she needed to catch, Snowflake wasn't going to hold back.
"Witch?"
Wang Po's sharp voice echoed throughout the forest. A witch actually came here today. Had Miao Jiang already discovered it?
Damn it!
Why didn't that guy notify her!
Or was she abandoned?
Wang Po's mind raced. In an instant, she was surrounded by insects. She didn't have time to think much and directly threw out various Gu worms. She could no longer save the other horse bandits.
For Wang Po now, it was about running if she could, and then seeing if there was a chance to return later.
"You can't escape!"
Snowflake shook her arm, and the sound of the bell gradually gained a rhythm as Snowflake's arm kept shaking.
Her Gu worms were much more powerful than Wang Po's. Wang Po's Gu worms had little resistance in front of Snowflake.
Seeing that she was about to catch Wang Po, Snowflake felt a surge of pride, and even her focus on controlling the bell relaxed a little.
It seems she's not that powerful after all!
Previously, Snowflake thought Wang Po would be very powerful, but it turns out she couldn't even block one of her moves!
Seeing this, Wang Po pressed her thumb on her abdomen, and then a stream of acidic water surged from her throat, spitting towards Snowflake.
The overwhelming brownish-green acidic water, accompanied by a putrid smell, made many people around nearly vomit upon smelling it.
And seeing this, Snowflake couldn't help but stand still, temporarily unable to dodge.
"So stinky!"
From Bai Ye's mouth and nose, a flame erupted. The Three True Samadhi Fire instantly burned away the acidic water in the air.
This was because Wang Po lived with poisonous creatures day and night, and ingested their poisons, which brewed in her body. Once touched, it was certainly fatal.
If it fell on the ground, it probably wouldn't dissipate for a long time, so Bai Ye decided to get rid of this thing first.
"When a lion hunts a rabbit, it uses its full strength. Don't relax until the opponent is completely dead."
Bai Ye stepped forward, looked at the dazed Snowflake, and reminded her.
Although Wang Po's strength was inferior to Snowflake's, her combat experience definitely surpassed Snowflake's. How could someone who hadn't fought much be an old hand's opponent?
"Mhm, actually, I'm not afraid of poison."
Snowflake weakly argued that she wasn't afraid of poison. She just froze for a moment because she didn't expect Wang Po to turn herself into a poisonous creature.
Ultimately, although everyone played with Gu, playing like this was rare.
Even if the poison fell on her, Snowflake wasn't too worried.
However, after being lectured by Bai Ye, she felt a strange sensation in her heart, always feeling as if it were her grandmother, who always liked to lecture her first whenever something happened.
Damn it!
She was already grown up!
"So you want these disgusting things to fall on you? Then I shouldn't have acted just now."
Bai Ye's words made Snowflake somewhat at a loss for how to respond.
It seemed to be true.
Thinking of the brownish-green venom falling on her, accompanied by a foul stench, it made Snowflake shiver.
If it really fell on her, she would probably want to scrub off that layer of skin on her body, right?
"Daoist Priest, I didn't mean that. I just feel that you shouldn't lecture me like this. I'm already grown up!"
"Did your family educate you like this before?"
"My grandmother often says..."
Damn it!
She had heard of mama's girls, but never this kind of thing.
Always saying 'my grandmother says' with every other word.
A black line flashed in Bai Ye's eyes, and then he waved his hand, no longer wanting to continue talking to Snowflake.
Turning his head to look at Wang Po, as the horse bandits were continuously killed, Wang Po gradually felt that the tide had turned.
"You all will die a horrible death! I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"
Saying that, Wang Po stared intently at the few people, drew her knife, and prepared to commit suicide.
That fire just now was the Three True Samadhi Fire. She knew who the person was.
She also knew that there were people from Miao Jiang here, and her various methods were useless in their eyes.
Drawing her knife, she prepared to commit suicide. She had a way to turn into a vengeful spirit after death, which could increase her chances of winning, or at least allow her to escape.
"Want to die? It's not that simple."
Bai Ye rubbed several lightning swords with his hands, then threw them at Wang Po's limbs. The lightning swords instantly pinned her down, and then the numbing effect of the lightning spread throughout Wang Po's body, leaving her powerless to commit suicide.
"Is it that simple?"
A hint of joy flashed in Lin Jiu's eyes. He didn't expect Bai Ye to be able to use lightning like this?
He originally thought that all sorts of methods would have to be used, and they might not even be very effective.
Now it seems he thought too much!
"Hey, what exactly are you evil cultivators doing?"
"Stinky Daoist Priest, do you think I'll tell you!?"
Wang Po glared at Ma Ma Di resentfully, then stared at Bai Ye with venomous eyes and said, "You have repeatedly disrupted our plans. One day, you will pay the price!"
"Repeatedly?"
Bai Ye muttered to himself. It seemed he had only done a few things.
"Ren Master once, Royal Zombie once, Ren Tiantang once?"
Only three times. Could it be that they did all of them?
Listening to Bai Ye's words, Wang Po didn't deny it, which left Bai Ye a bit speechless. So, all the zombies that appeared in this movie were created by you, huh?
"Why did you turn my grandpa into a zombie?"
"And my grandpa too!"
Ren Tingting and Ren Zhuzhu clenched their fists. They couldn't calm their hearts about their grandfathers turning into zombies.
It would have been fine if they hadn't cultivated, but ever since they entered the Dao, they knew what zombies were. Once one became a zombie, there would be no possibility of reincarnation.
"Heh heh, if your grandpa wasn't greedy, why would he have been refined into a zombie?"
A cold sneer flashed across Wang Po's face. The reason Ren Weiyong was turned into a zombie back then was because Ren Weiyong was too greedy.
Originally, the Feng Shui Master had planned to be buried there himself.
The person was already prepared to die, but you snatched away his good burial plot. Since that was the case, he could only refine the other party into a zombie and make them fall into the Demonic Path.
The Feng Shui Master had lived most of his life, constantly saving money and striving to survive, but Ren Weiyong used his power to snatch away the burial plot he had prepared. How could that person not harbor resentment in his heart?
As for Ren Zhuzhu's grandpa, that had nothing to do with them.
After all, that was done by a foreigner. They just saw the effect and wanted to try it, but after Bai Ye dealt with it, they no longer had that idea.
"It's impossible to get information about the organization from me."
"No, actually, some things don't need you to say them."
Bai Ye shook his head, then placed his hand on Wang Po's head. He saw many of Wang Po's memories.
This was deep within Wang Po's mind, containing some of the evil cult's plans and upcoming events.
Just as Bai Ye was about to continue exploring, a restriction in Wang Po's mind seemed to be triggered. Before Bai Ye could react, Wang Po's soul was instantly shattered into dust.
"Incredible, incredible! These evil cult members don't seem to be easy to deal with!"
Bai Ye had always thought these guys shouldn't be very strong, since they were hiding behind the scenes.
But this method made Bai Ye realize that he really seemed to have underestimated these guys!
"Fellow Daoist, she seems to be dead."
Her soul is gone.
Lin Jiu was a bit surprised. Bai Ye's method just now seemed to be a soul-searching technique?
"En, there's a restriction in her head. It seems to have touched a certain switch, but now I also roughly know their plan."
Bai Ye nodded. Perhaps there were some more hidden secrets he didn't know, but Bai Ye had also learned a lot of the evil cult's secrets.
"They will directly detonate the zombies in Teng Teng Town later. It seems that zombie town needs to be dealt with sooner rather than later."
Teng Teng Town was originally a town with many inhabitants, but overnight, everyone in the town died, and then the dead bodies inside turned into zombies not long after.
There was even the existence of a Zombie King there.
This kind of strangeness naturally attracted the attention of the evil cult.
"There's a formation down there. It seems someone deliberately nurtured it!"
Lin Jiu said in a deep voice.
How could a town instantly turn into zombies overnight, and even brew a Zombie King?
Later, after Lin Jiu's investigation, he realized that there was a formation present beneath, which was why it happened, but Lin Jiu didn't dare to investigate what kind of formation it was specifically.
After all, there was a Zombie King there. Their Maoshan Sect hadn't discussed how to deal with Teng Teng Town.
But later, they couldn't even think of a solution. There were simply too many zombies, and they couldn't deal with them at all.
Perhaps they would need to rely on cooperation with others to kill these zombies later.
Moreover, Teng Teng Town was different. The zombies in Teng Teng Town were stronger in combat. They were easier to deal with outside, but how do you make the zombies leave?
It had basically become the zombies' base camp!
Furthermore, there was a Zombie King among them. Going inside might really lead to death.
"I know everything from her memories."
Bai Ye pointed at Wang Po, then flicked his hand, burning her away with a flame. Then he waved his hand: "Bring all those corpses over, and I'll burn them all with one fire!"
These ignorant people were very likely to turn into ghosts later.
Wasn't there an unlucky person possessed by a ghost in the movie?
He would directly deal with all the corpses here, burning them all with a mouthful of Three True Samadhi Fire.
The moment they were burned by the fire, the bodies seemed to be wailing, and then, to the horror of those around, the souls of the deceased began to struggle frantically, but they could not escape from the Three True Samadhi Fire.
The corpses, along with their souls, were all burned away by Bai Ye. Lin Jiu, who was beside him, also asked with a hint of reluctance: "Fellow Daoist, isn't this a bit too ruthless?"
No matter what, they were of the righteous path. To directly burn away the other party's soul as well, they wouldn't even have a chance at reincarnation.
"These people won't go to the Underworld after death; they'll only turn into ghosts and cause harm to the human world."
Bai Ye shook his head. Generally speaking, Daoists wouldn't be so absolute in their actions. No matter what, they would allow the other party to enter reincarnation.
But Bai Ye knew very well that the ultimate fate of these people was to turn into fierce ghosts and harm people. It was better to just kill them directly.
"That's right, Lin Jiu, save your kindness. I, Ma Ma Di, have traveled north and south for so many years and have seen too many extremely evil people like this. After they die, they will only turn into vengeful spirits and harm people!"
Ma Ma Di echoed from the side. He thought Lin Jiu's kindness was a bit redundant.
"I understand. By the way, Fellow Daoist, what exactly was everything you mentioned knowing from her memories earlier?"
Lin Jiu was silent for a moment, then realized that he indeed seemed to have been a bit too soft-hearted.
Ultimately, leaving them alive would only harm people. Bai Ye hadn't done anything wrong.
"Let's find another place to talk."
This place wasn't suitable for discussion. Just as the group was about to leave, Snowflake eagerly tugged at Bai Ye's sleeve and asked weakly: "You burned her, how am I supposed to go back?"
She had been too engrossed in listening to Bai Ye's words, wanting to know what was going on, so she had temporarily forgotten Bai Ye's later words.
By the time she reacted, Bai Ye had already burned Wang Po away with a single fire.
Since there was no corpse, and not even a token, how was she supposed to explain herself when she went back?
"How about you take the ashes back?"
Bai Ye was a bit troubled. You didn't want it when I was burning her, but now you're getting excited?
"No, no, Grandma definitely won't believe it. Daoist Master, you don't want me to fail to become the Saintess, do you?"
Snowflake looked at Bai Ye pitifully, feeling a surge of bitterness in her heart.
She had clearly completed her mission, but if she couldn't bring back a token, she would truly be unable to defend herself.
"What do you want to do?"
What did her becoming a Saintess have to do with him?
"I want Daoist Master to come back with me and prove it, okay?"
He was the Sect Master of the Shenxiao Sect, and his strength was formidable. With Bai Ye accompanying her to prove it, she believed Grandma would believe her.
"Me? Prove it?"
Was this little girl overly naive?
Bai Ye muttered to himself. Wasn't it a simple matter to go back and ask them if Wang Po was dead or not?
However, Bai Ye always felt that the little girl seemed to have some other hidden intentions.
"Tell me honestly."
Clearly, Snowflake definitely had other hidden intentions.
Moreover, this kind of little girl's expression simply didn't know how to be controlled.
She clearly had something more to say.
"I… I just…" Snowflake hesitated, then looked at everyone and said: "I just feel that you are my friends, and I want you to attend my Saintess initiation ceremony."
She had been cultivating to become a Saintess since she was a child and had no friends. She thought that if she had a group of friends when she became a Saintess, she would probably be very happy, right?
Although they had only known each other for a short time, Snowflake already considered them her friends.
