273: Chapter 269: Onmyoji 273: Chapter 269: Onmyoji The green-haired zombie had completely disintegrated into bones, turning into a puddle of water that seeped into the ground, leaving only two pieces of clothing still lying in their original place.
This scene was not only witnessed by Ye Cheng with his own eyes, but many nearby soldiers also witnessed the event unfold.
Fang and others would probably have quite a discussion after they arrived here.
After all, they had always stayed in the safety zone, far from the battlefield, and had not seen the event occur.
The saying goes, “Alive, you must see the person; dead, you must see the body.”
The green-haired zombie, which had previously displayed fierce power and slaughtered many of their soldiers, was reduced to a puddle of water by Chen Hai in just a mont of confrontation and thus died.
This event was beyond comprehension.
Those who did not witness it for themselves would find it extrely hard to believe in its veracity.
Chen Hai left directly as he found it botherso and did not want to explain repeatedly to those people.
To speak frankly, if it were not for Ye Cheng, his brother-in-law by marriage, he would probably never have had any association with Fang and the others for his whole life.
As such, he certainly did not want to ingratiate himself or play the grandson in front of them!
Because the green-haired zombie’s body had disappeared, Fang and others taking over the matter led to considerable delays.
By the ti Chen Hai returned to his West Mountain Villa in the Capital City, it was already past ten o’clock at night.
You should know that when the Corpse Transformation Talisman completely dissolved the green-haired zombie, it was not even half past eleven in the morning.
The follow-up processing of the matter, plus so issues with the distribution of rits…
Ye Cheng and Fang and others discussed back and forth and could not co to an agreent for quite a while.
Though these issues were not related to Chen Hai, he needed soone to take him back to the Capital City.
On his way here, he had ridden in Ye Cheng’s military vehicle, which took two to three hours.
Given this distance, it was quite unrealistic to walk back without a car for Chen Hai.
To have Tian Mingjian and Bai Xiaohang drive over to pick him up?
Without thinking, Chen Hai knew that the two of them probably could not even find the place.
After Ye Cheng and the others finished their discussions and found the ti to send Chen Hai back, several hours had already been lost.
His girlfriend, Ye Qingqing, should have arrived in the Capital City yesterday.
There were traces of her in the living room.
And in the bathroom, there were clothes she had changed out of.
However, upon leaving that patch of woodland and returning to his own villa, Chen Hai did not see Ye Qingqing.
After giving her a call, he got an earful of complaints from her.
Knowing that his girlfriend had already gone back to her place in the Capital City, which was more than ten miles away, Chen Hai felt relieved after hanging up the phone.
Although he had not tasted the pleasures of the flesh for one or two months, considering the late hour, he did not ask Ye Qingqing to hurry over to his place.
After taking a hot shower and changing into a bathrobe, Chen Hai settled onto the sofa.
He picked up the TV remote and casually turned on the large color TV facing the sofa.
“Judging from the clothes on the green-haired zombie, he should not have been dead for very long.”
“He beca a zombie not because lingering resentnt did not disperse and then slowly transford after being fostered in the Corpse Nourishing Land.”
“Utilizing divination, when I divined his whereabouts, I once again saw that Fierce Blade.”
“Perhaps, he was influenced by the blade, eroded by the evil qi contained within, leading him to swiftly grow green hair and beco a zombie in such a short ti!”
“Yet why, when I divined Dong Dahai’s swindlers who drove him to near bankruptcy, was I also interfered with and saw the blade?”
…
On the TV, the drama series “The Fictional Qianlong” starring Qiu Guan was playing.
Chen Hai usually enjoyed watching this show very much.
But today, his mind was not on the TV at all.
His eyes fixed on the screen, he was thinking about entirely different matters.
Half of the TV episode had played, but Chen Hai had not followed any of it; he had absolutely no idea what was happening in the show!
“Could it be that the guy who turned into the green-haired zombie was one of the people who deceived Dong Dahai?”
“Perhaps, because of so issues, there was infighting among them, leading to this person’s death.”
“Then, his body was discarded in the wilderness, and he eventually transford into the green-haired zombie, hiding in that patch of woodland.”
…
Chen Hai’s brow remained furrowed as thoughts whirled rapidly in his mind.
The group that nearly bankrupted Dong Dahai were likely tomb robbers.
This was the speculation that Dong Dahai and Zhong Fang had when they first encountered the group.
It was entirely possible for these people of their unique profession to have discovered an ancient tomb, entered it, and co into contact with that Fierce Blade.
The person who had turned into a green-haired zombie, if they were truly corrupted by the evil qi of the Fierce Blade, had undergone such a transformation in such a short period of ti, then what about their companions?
If those people had also been invaded by the evil qi contained in the Fierce Blade, would they too experience a transformation and beco green-haired zombies?
The more Chen Hai pondered, the more he doubted whether the green-haired zombies in the mountains had undergone transformation after death or if they had been directly converted into zombies while still alive.
Since the Fierce Blade was exceedingly sinister, was it still stored within that unknown ancient tomb?
Or had it already been taken out by that group of people?
The more he delved into it, the more Chen Hai felt that there was just too much about the entire situation that he did not understand!
Sitting on this sofa, he didn’t know how many brain cells had died, and at best he could only roughly determine that the green-haired zombie and the swindlers who had tricked Dong Dahai were probably part of the sa group!
Before the incident with the green-haired zombie, he never really thought about tracking down the swindlers who had deceived Dong Dahai to unearth their true identity.
But now, he had really taken an interest in that group of people, as well as in the Fierce Blade!
…
Within a hotel located nearly two kiloters away from the West Mountain Villa.
Dressed in a floral kimono, Ono Sari sat cross-legged on the floor.
As an ascetic, she spent any spare ti she had on cultivation.
If it hadn’t been for a great favor owed to Murakami Taro in her early years, and his beseeching for a long ti, persuading Ono Sari to make a trip to Yanhuang Country, she would probably still be on the Great Snow Mountain in Hokkaido toiling away at her ascetic practices, not appearing here.
As yin-yang masters, they devote their whole being to worshiping deities with piety.
When their sincerity truly touches the deities and they are granted power in return, these yin-yang masters utilize secret techniques to split a part of their own spirit.
Then they combine this fragnt of spirit with the power bestowed by the deities to ultimately transform into a special existence known as Shikigami.
Within Japan, there are actually quite a few Yin-Yang Master Sects.
However, most yin-yang masters are committed to secluded cultivation and seldom engage with the outside world, so ordinary people usually have no access to them.
More than 90% of Japanese people have heard of the legends of yin-yang masters and shikigami.
But only a small portion of them truly understand that these yin-yang masters and shikigami are not just legends but indeed still exist in this world.
Different Yin-Yang Master Sects possess varied shikigami heritages.
The sect that Ono Sari belonged to was hidden near a snow mountain in Hokkaido.
Their shikigami heritage consisted only of two types: the Snow Woman and the Dog.
Naturally, the shikigami owned by Ono Sari was undoubtedly the Snow Woman.
During the days, she had spent in Capital City, she had almost never left her hotel room.
Unfortunately, away from the Great Snow Mountain in Hokkaido, in the bustling Capital City, her cultivation was minuscule in effect.
After several hard days of cultivation, she even failed to feel any increase in power from her shikigami.
“Ding-dong… Ding-dong…” The doorbell suddenly rang.
Frowning, Ono Sari opened her eyes.
Aside from her junior, Murakami Taro, there was only Jiang Zhendong who knew she was staying here.
To avoid suspicion, Murakami Taro had generally refrained from actively contacting her these past few days.
After all, he was well aware of what she was going to do.
As a military officer at the embassy, getting too closely involved with Ono Sari, if anything were to happen, would certainly bring significant trouble his way.
As for Jiang Zhendong, in Ono Sari’s opinion, he was soone she had absolutely no respect for.
The first ti they t, he was frightened enough to roll under the table and cling to its legs, but now that the scars had healed, he seed to have forgotten the pain.
Perhaps, he was misled by the unique romance films of Japan.
Last night, after ten o’clock, he had actually called to ask if Ono Sari felt lonely that evening and if she needed him to co over and offer his services.
She was a yin-yang master, not an actress; Jiang Zhendong’s words, in Ono Sari’s view, were a great insult to her!
At that mont, she felt the urge to eradicate him on the spot!
But considering she was in Capital City and there was the matter of her junior, Murakami Taro’s face, no matter how angry she was, Ono Sari held back for the ti being!
“I’ve already unplugged the phone—does that Jiang punk think it’s ti to co knocking?”
“Could it be that he’s had so indecent thoughts again?
Does he want to try sothing with ?”
With her naturally cold deanor, Ono Sari walked to the room door with a frosty expression and opened it.
Had she been just an ordinary woman, she definitely would have hesitated and not opened the door so readily to soone with ill intentions showing up at this ti.
But as a genuine yin-yang master, she had enough confidence.
Jiang Zhendong, an ordinary person, couldn’t cause her any fear.
Even as she walked to the door, Ono Sari had already made a decision.
Should that man nad Jiang make any outrageous move, then she might just have to teach him a little lesson!
