Fortunately, Lin Zhitong's hand was broken, not her leg, so her basic mobility was intact.
After Yan Shouyi had simply treated her wounds, Lin Zhitong summoned Hei Chuan Lu and, under his escort, quickly left the mountain forest.
This place was not far from the Heavenly Master's Mansion. Yan Shouyi was confident that there would be no more danger on the way back, so he let Lin Zhitong leave with peace of mind.
After Lin Zhitong left, Yan Shouyi took out San Yuan and said to it: "San Yuan, I really relied on you just now. You should go to sleep first. After we deal with that coffin carrier, I'll find superior Yin wood to make you a new body!"
San Yuan was very sensible. After nodding its little head, it lay down and fell asleep.
Yan Shouyi put San Yuan away and ran back without hesitation.
The coffin carrier's strength was too terrifying. Fighting him, any technique would probably be useless.
No matter how he changed, I would break it with sheer force!
As for Longhu Mountain, most of its disciples practiced spells. Their spells might not be able to deal with the coffin carrier. Even if Zhang Shanli took action, it would be very uncertain.
That's why Yan Shouyi insisted on going back to help.
Not long after running back, Yan Shouyi heard a huge commotion. It was likely that Zhang Shanli and the coffin carrier had already clashed.
When he ran closer, Yan Shouyi was slightly surprised.
The place where Lin Zhitong and the coffin carrier had encountered each other was already a mess. Now, the ground was even more devastated, as if it had been bombarded by artillery shells, with pits everywhere.
The disciples of Longhu Mountain on the ground lay scattered like fallen trees, all with broken limbs, moaning and struggling in pain.
Even the elder leading the team from Wuzhen Sect was among them!
Of the large group of people brought by Zhang Shanli, only he and Zhang Wuma were still standing. All the others had failed to escape from the coffin carrier!
At this moment, Zhang Shanli and Zhang Wuma each held a sword and kept taking out talismans to cast spells. Although the commotion they created was already frightening, they still couldn't do anything about the coffin carrier!
The coffin carrier's coffin-carrying staff was too sinister. Not only was it incredibly hard, but it could also block all kinds of spells.
And once the coffin carrier found an opportunity, even Zhang Shanli could have his skull smashed with one blow!
Zhang Shanli and Zhang Wuma clearly did not expect that dealing with the coffin carrier would be so difficult.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Shanli immediately shouted: "Wuma, I'll deal with this person. You quickly return to the Heavenly Master's Mansion and ask for reinforcements!"
Zhang Wuma hesitated: "Hall Master Shanli, you're going to deal with this coffin carrier alone..."
"Stop talking nonsense. Although I can't kill him, delaying him is not a problem!"
"Alright, I'm going now!"
Zhang Wuma gritted his teeth, feigned a move, and then headed towards the Heavenly Master's Mansion!
However, the coffin carrier seemed to have been prepared. He repelled Zhang Shanli with a blow and, in the blink of an eye, chased after Zhang Wuma!
Sensing someone behind him, Zhang Wuma's hair stood on end in fear.
He had witnessed the coffin carrier's methods. Exposing his back to him now was equivalent to handing over his life and death.
He was certain that he could not withstand the coffin carrier's blow aimed at his skull...
Zhang Wuma felt a chill, regretting his hastiness and that he was about to die at the hands of the coffin carrier at such a young age!
The coffin carrier behind him did not hesitate at all. Seizing the opportunity, he raised his coffin-carrying staff.
Zhang Shanli's eyes were about to split: "Wuma, be careful!"
Zhang Wuma had already expected this outcome, but he simply had no time to turn around.
"Five Thunders True Dharma!"
Boom!!
Just as the coffin carrier was about to smash Zhang Wuma's skull, a thunderous spell suddenly struck from a corner, hitting the coffin carrier's body directly!
The coffin carrier was caught off guard and his body stiffened from the lightning spell. Zhang Wuma also seized this opportunity to escape ten meters away.
He looked at the origin of the lightning spell in surprise and saw Yan Shouyi rushing out from the mountain forest: "Brother Wuma, quickly go and ask for help. Leave this place to me and Uncle Xiao!"
Zhang Wuma glanced gratefully at Yan Shouyi: "Yan Shouyi, I owe you a favor!"
"Hurry!"
"Okay!"
Zhang Wuma ran madly. After narrowly escaping death, he understood the terror of the coffin carrier even more.
The coffin carrier no longer pursued Zhang Wuma. He fixed his gaze on Yan Shouyi, and a strange expression appeared on his mask-like face: "It's you again."
Yan Shouyi held his Zanpakuto, as if facing a great enemy: "You are a subordinate of the Actor."
The coffin carrier sneered: "We are only cooperating."
"So you are indeed from the New Xuan Mountain Sect, and the New Xuan Mountain Sect has already infiltrated Longhu Mountain?!" Yan Shouyi gritted his teeth.
"The Xuan Mountain Sect is the Xuan Mountain Sect, why divide it into new and old," the coffin carrier smiled faintly. "Young Master."
Yan Shouyi was stunned: "Young Master? Who are you talking about?"
"Naturally, it's you."
"It seems you know my identity."
"Yan Shouyi, descendant of Lu Ban, son of Yan Qiu, the founder of our Xuan Mountain Sect. How could I not recognize you?" the coffin carrier said with a smile.
For a moment, Yan Shouyi couldn't tell which faction this guy belonged to.
But he quickly regained his senses. If this coffin carrier were his father's subordinate, why would he have attacked Lin Zhitong?
This person must be an enemy!
Yan Shouyi's expression turned grim: "Don't call me Young Master. I have nothing to do with your New Xuan Mountain Sect."
"No matter how you deny it, history will not change," the coffin carrier said. "When our New Xuan Mountain Sect unifies the Xuanmen, history will remember your Yan family."
"You are trying to push our Yan family onto the pillar of shame."
"Something like that."
"I won't let you succeed."
"You can certainly try."
Only then did the coffin carrier finally reveal his stance.
Yan Shouyi understood in his heart that this guy likely had grudges with his father as well. He called him Young Master verbally, but in fact, he wanted to push the Yan family into the fire pit.
Zhang Shanli came to Yan Shouyi's side, frowning: "You shouldn't have come back."
"I have a way to deal with him," Yan Shouyi whispered.
"What way?"
Traditional sects looked down upon folk cults and naturally wouldn't spend time understanding them. Therefore, even Zhang Shanli knew nothing about the coffin carrier.
But Yan Shouyi knew the coffin carrier inside and out.
He knew in his heart that the coffin carrier had immense strength, and his coffin-carrying staff was unreasonable.
There was only one way to defeat him.
To break force with force!
To crush him!
A sharp glint flashed in Yan Shouyi's eyes.
Before he could explain, the coffin carrier had already raised his staff and charged!
Seeing the coffin carrier's reaction, Zhang Shanli was overjoyed.
He's anxious!
It seemed Yan Shouyi indeed knew how to deal with the coffin carrier!
Bang!
With one blow from the coffin carrier, Yan Shouyi and Zhang Shanli were forced apart. The spot where they were standing was smashed into a large pit, showing that the power of the coffin carrier's blow was no weaker than a bomb!
Zhang Shanli shouted: "Shouyi, from now on, I'll listen to you. I'll do whatever you say!"
Yan Shouyi replied: "Help me create an opportunity!"
"What opportunity?"
"Let me step on his shoulders!"
This strange request did not cause Zhang Shanli's actions to hesitate in the slightest.
Instead, the coffin carrier's expression began to darken upon hearing Yan Shouyi's answer...
