Xue Boru was completely subdued. He now understood that the person before him was a lunatic!
When he said he could stab him hundreds of times, he was likely serious. A wise man knows when to retreat, so he quickly said, "Yes, there was a young man whose death was related to me. I used a drone to stop his escape, but it was Zu Shouchun who did it. Zu Shouchun's zombies killed that young man."
"Who is Zu Shouchun? And who are you?"
"Zu Shouchun is the person you were just chasing. He belongs to the Corpse-Driving sect and specializes in controlling zombies. My name is Xue Boru. I am just a mechanic, I haven't done anything wrong..."
"What is your relationship with the Heavenly Demon Sect!"
As soon as Ling Tian asked this, Xue Boru's mind raced. It was clear that this person had a grudge against the Heavenly Demon Sect. If he knew he was a protector of the Heavenly Demon Sect, he probably wouldn't let him go today.
However, before he could speak, Ling Tian raised his hand and thrust his sword fiercely into his thigh again!
"Ouch..."
"You're still not being honest, daring to play tricks and have ulterior motives in front of me!"
"I didn't, by heaven and earth, I really didn't say anything..." This time, as Xue Boru said this, his voice grew weaker and weaker, losing all confidence.
"If you don't want to suffer physical pain, then confess quickly!"
"I'll tell you, Zu Shouchun and I are both newly appointed protectors of the Heavenly Demon Sect's thirteen protectors..."
Then, Xue Boru, like a bamboo tube pouring out beans, confessed everything related to the Heavenly Demon Sect. This included the new rules and KPI assessments set by the Heavenly Demon Sect for these protectors, as well as the reason why he was hiding here to avoid being challenged by others.
After asking for a long time, Ling Tian felt that he could not get anything more from him. Satisfied, he nodded. He stood up and directly thrust his sword into Xue Boru's heart.
"You... you lied to me..."
Xue Boru's eyes were wide open, his death filled with regret! He naively thought that Ling Tian would really let him go, but he didn't know that Ling Tian was a righteous and vengeful person!
Ling Tian walked forward, searched him, and took out several mobile phones. Then, he used the corpse's right hand to try them one by one.
Then Ling Tian took out a lump of clay, pressed it onto Xue Boru's right index finger, obtained the fingerprint, and put these things away. Ling Tian then walked towards the depths of the mountain.
He had already learned from Xue Boru that deep within this mountain, there was an ancient tomb. This ancient tomb was very deep, with a history of hundreds or even thousands of years. It was worth mentioning that this ancient tomb was connected to an underground cave, which contained natural Yin Sha. This was a place with extremely heavy Yin energy, very suitable for raising corpses. Therefore, that old fellow Zu Shouchun chose to cause trouble here!
Soon, Ling Tian arrived at the cave where the ancient tomb was located. The cave was hidden among the bushes in the mountain, very concealed. If no one told him, it would be difficult to discover this ancient tomb!
Ling Tian did not see Zu Shouchun, but he did see footprints on the ground.
"Zu Shouchun, get out here, your grandfather has come to take your life!"
Ling Tian channeled his true qi and roared towards the mountain cave.
At this moment, Zu Shouchun, who was meditating and practicing in the cave, was startled by this thunderous voice and almost went into qi deviation. He recognized Ling Tian's voice, and his face immediately turned very ugly. He knew very well that Ling Tian could find this place, which meant that Xue Boru might have been captured or killed! Although Xue Boru was skilled in mechanics and could make many small gadgets of various functions, his close-combat ability was very poor. Being approached by a terrifying opponent like Ling Tian meant a grim fate.
However, he immediately thought of a very serious problem: how did Ling Tian appear here? Hadn't he been blown to pieces?!
However, Zu Shouchun already had some confidence in his heart, because in this mountain cave, he had his trump card!
"Heh heh, if you have the guts, come in. I'm in this cave, what can you do to me!"
Zu Shouchun shouted to the outside, then hurriedly got up and walked towards the depths of the underground tomb. He walked dozens of meters inward, and a relatively spacious area appeared before him. In this area, the ground was covered with piles of Xuan Yin stones. These Yin-infused stones formed a large Yin Gathering formation here. The function of such a formation was actually to refine zombies.
Ling Tian never expected that this guy would dare to provoke him.
"You're not coming out, are you? Fine, let's see how long you can hide in there!"
Ling Tian came to the edge of the cave and observed. The cave was located on the mountainside, sloping downwards. The entrance was covered by a large amount of bushes, and gusts of Yin wind blew out from the cave. Seeing this, Ling Tian had a plan.
In the warehouse of Ling Tian's spiritual realm space, there were dozens of barrels of gasoline and alcohol. As Ling Tian's thoughts flickered, barrels of gasoline were moved out one by one. The lids of the barrels were opened, and they were turned upside down, pouring gasoline into the underground tomb. After pouring enough gasoline, Ling Tian threw a few more barrels of alcohol into the underground tomb, followed by several industrial compressed oxygen cylinders!
In the underground tomb, Zu Shouchun hurried to the Yin Gathering formation. In the center of the Yin Gathering formation, a human-shaped figure lay there, continuously absorbing the Yin energy that poured in from all directions. This was Zu Shouchun's greatest reliance, and it was something passed down through generations of their Corpse-Driving sect: a Golden Corpse!
It was not easy to preserve such a thing. Zombies were consumables. Not only in combat, but also improper maintenance in daily life could cause damage. It took generations of continuous catalysis from ordinary corpses using secret methods to eventually turn into a Golden Corpse, which took more than half a century to achieve!
Originally, Zu Shouchun discovered this mountain cave, which was an excellent place for raising corpses. Therefore, he specifically came here to let his Golden Corpse absorb the Yin energy of this place with all its might, and finally evolve into the ultimate form of a zombie – a Corpse King.
Coincidentally, he colluded with that Ah Liang, tricked villagers from the surrounding mountain villages, killed them, and turned them into zombies to strengthen his forces. As a result, he overdid it, attracting people from the righteous alliance, and today he attracted a killing star like Ling Tian! Now, to escape the pursuit of this killing star, he could only use the Golden Corpse. But the problem was that the Golden Corpse was currently in a critical stage of evolution. If the evolutionary process was interrupted at this time, it might lead to him paying a greater price to cultivate the Golden Corpse into a Corpse King in the future.
