Yang Haoran completely ignored Master Zhou. Seeing the chain ford by his Yin spirit power being grabbed by the corpse fiend, his face darkened. With a fierce flick of his wrist, the chain imdiately turned into strands of Yin Qi, then bypassed the corpse fiend and directly attacked Master Zhou from behind!
Master Zhou's expression remained unchanged, calmly waving his hand, a grayish-white light flashed by, dispersing the oncoming Yin Qi.
At this mont, under Yang Haoran's ghost eye, not only was the corpse fiend shrouded in a layer of grayish-white Corpse Qi, but Master Zhou himself was also enveloped in a layer of grayish-white special power.
Compared to the corpse fiend, the fluctuations of this grayish-white power on Master Zhou's body were much stronger, they were simply not in the sa league. In other words, in terms of strength, Master Zhou was definitely much stronger than the corpse fiend.
Recalling yesterday when he only sensed a faint fluctuation of power from Master Zhou, Yang Haoran had thought that Master Zhou might have so power, but it was too weak. Now it seed that his thoughts at that ti were simply ironic.
It was precisely because the power fluctuation he sensed from Master Zhou was very weak at that ti, so Yang Haoran didn't pay much attention. If he had paid attention at that ti and carefully observed the power fluctuations emanating from Master Zhou with his ghost eye, he would have discovered that the power fluctuation on Master Zhou was related to Corpse Qi!
If he had realized that Master Zhou was acting strangely at that ti, would the tragedy of Yangjia Bay have happened?
At this mont, Yang Haoran's heart was not only filled with anger but also with self-bla.
In fact, it was his own strength and vision that couldn't keep up. If it were Xu ijing instead, the outco would definitely have been different.
Yesterday, it was because Yang Haoran had contact with Master Zhou that there was a layer of Corpse Qi entwined outside his Yin Qi. However, this Corpse Qi was very faint, and Yang Haoran himself did not notice it. On the contrary, when Xu ijing saw Yang Haoran for the first ti, she imdiately noticed that his aura was off. This was the difference in strength and vision between the two.
At this mont, seeing that Yang Haoran not only had no intention of letting him speak but was also manipulating Yin Qi to attack him frantically, Master Zhou chuckled and spoke.
"Taking action against Yangjia Bay was also a last resort for . You've all seen these giant stone gates in front of us. I've already opened the others, and now only this last one remains. Tell , can I just give up?"
With his hands behind his back, Master Zhou had a dignified deanor. As he spoke, he occasionally waved his hand to dispel the Yin Qi approaching him.
Most of Yang Haoran's attacks were blocked by the corpse fiend, and only a few cunning attacks managed to break through the corpse fiend's defenses, but still couldn't harm Master Zhou.
"I must open this stone gate, but there is a very powerful spell on it. Even I had no way to deal with this spell initially. It was only after a long study that I found a feasible solution. Although this thod is sowhat cruel, it won't cause any harm. What I ca up with is to use strong Corpse Qi to defile this spell, gradually eroding its power."
Casually dispersing an incoming wave of Yin Qi, Master Zhou chuckled and continued, "To obtain strong Corpse Qi, zombies are naturally the first choice. However, I won't waste the corpse fiend that I painstakingly crafted. So I thought of using a grade lower than the corpse fiend, the corpse puppet."
"These lowest-grade zombies, corpse puppets, don't need complicated processes to craft. As long as you have a corpse fiend in hand, obtaining a batch of corpse puppets in a short ti is too simple. As long as there are enough targets, I can have a large army of corpse puppets in a very short ti."
"Since both Yangjia Bay and Liu Family Village are relatively close to here, I initially targeted these two villages. After careful consideration, I decided to have Yangjia Bay contribute to my plan. The reason is simple: Yangjia Bay has nearly twice as many people as Liu Family Village. I need a large number of corpse puppets, the more the better, so compared to Liu Family Village, Yangjia Bay is more suitable for my plan."
"After targeting Yangjia Bay, I didn't act imdiately but chose to wait. I was waiting for the New Year because many people would return ho during that ti. If I acted then, I could get more corpse puppets."
"According to my plan, I was going to act on the night of New Year's Eve, because by then, most of the people who were supposed to return would have returned, and those who hadn't probably wouldn't co back anymore. But just yesterday, I saw that Yangjia Bay was becoming increasingly lively, and I was eager to open the last stone gate as soon as possible, so I decided to act ahead of schedule."
Pausing here, Master Zhou looked at Yang Haoran with a smile. At this mont, Yang Haoran's face was full of ferocity, his eyes bloodshot. He seed like he wanted to skin Master Zhou alive.
"So, so you took action against my second uncle!" Yang Haoran said through gritted teeth, while manipulating Yin Qi to attack frantically.
Master Zhou nodded with a smile at Yang Haoran's words and said, "Exactly. I had just co out of this cave when I happened to encounter your second uncle. Since I had already decided to take action, I naturally didn't miss this opportunity. So, the corpse fiend I had crafted took a bite out of him."
Seeing Yang Haoran becoming even more agitated after hearing this, and the incoming Yin Qi becoming fiercer, Master Zhou quickly spoke with a smile, trying to calm him down. "Don't get excited. I just let my precious one take a gentle bite. Apart from a bit of fright, his body didn't suffer any damage. Compared to the miserable state of the others in Yangjia Bay, your second uncle can be considered relatively lucky, don't you think so?"
Master Zhou's tone and attitude made Yang Haoran tremble with anger. If looks could kill, Master Zhou would have been shredded to pieces by now.
However, Master Zhou didn't mind. On the contrary, Yang Haoran's reaction seed to be quite enjoyable for him.
"I was actually planning to take action last night, so that all the people in Yangjia Bay would beco mbers of my army of corpse puppets overnight. However, your appearance forced to change my plans at the last minute."
"I felt strong Yin Qi from you. I found it strange at the ti, but when I approached you and sensed the Yin spirit power inside you, I knew you must be from the Yin Division's Night Watch."
"Although the Yin spirit power inside you isn't too strong, dealing with your Yin Division is not easy. I didn't want any unexpected trouble, so I generously let the people of Yangjia Bay live for one more night. Speaking of which, I have to thank your mother. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have known that you were going on a blind date today. Knowing that you were going on a blind date today, I decided to act after you left."
"However, I didn't expect you to return to Yangjia Bay so quickly and even follow all the way here. This is good too. The flesh and blood of you Night Watchers are great nourishnt for my precious one. Devouring you all completely, my precious one's strength will definitely make a breakthrough."
"Moreover, from the current situation, I underestimated the power of the spell on the stone gate. It seems that the prepared corpse puppets may not be enough. By then, I may need the blood of you two to achieve my goal and complete the final plan."
Master Zhou looked at Yang Haoran, then glanced at Xu ijing, who hadn't spoken or made any movents. He smiled happily, seeming to feel that the appearance of Yang Haoran and Xu ijing not only didn't cause him trouble but also seed like a good thing.
The continuous rumbling that had never stopped finally ceased after Master Zhou finished speaking. The gazes of the three were all directed towards the tightly closed stone gate.
On the huge stone gate, the intricate spell still existed, but the released golden light was no longer as dazzling as before. The golden light was still there, but it had dimd quite a bit.
In front of the stone gate, there was a large area of foul-slling grayish-white liquid, and those terrifying corpse puppets were nowhere to be seen.
Without the corpse puppets crashing into the stone gate, the entire cave naturally ceased the continuous rumbling caused by the impacts.
"Hehe, the spell is still there. It seems it's ti to use the blood of you two," Master Zhou withdrew his gaze from the stone gate and looked at Yang Haoran and Xu ijing, smiling as he spoke.
Xu ijing, who had been silent and inactive, also smiled when she heard Master Zhou's words. Her hands were in her pockets, and her gaze towards Master Zhou was full of mockery.
"Oh, you seem quite confident?" Xu ijing's tone was lofty as she asked with a smile.
Master Zhou remained unchanged, nodding with a smile, and said, "Of course. If I didn't have this confidence, I wouldn't have been able to co this far today. Although you are much stronger than Haoran and a bit troubleso to deal with, I'm not without any preparations. I had already considered this yesterday, so I made so preparations in advance."
Speaking here, Master Zhou looked at Yang Haoran, who had a fierce expression, and asked with a smile, "Haoran, do you rember the talisman I lent you?"
As soon as Master Zhou said this, Yang Haoran's face suddenly changed drastically, and he inwardly cursed!
He just rembered the talisman that Master Zhou had lent him yesterday, the talisman that Master Zhou repeatedly urged him to return in the future!
Originally, he thought that this talisman should have been Master Zhou's life-saving treasure. Master Zhou had been practicing as a Yin Yang Master for so many years without any accidents. It was very likely that it was related to this talisman. But now, everything seed to be completely different!
Just as a bad premonition arose in his heart, Yang Haoran hadn't had ti to react, and a powerful wave of energy suddenly erupted from his body. However, this powerful wave of energy did not belong to him.
