Mentioning the Fengmen Zombie, Fatty and the others present had their eyes light up. The Fengmen Zombie was the core of the Senluo Division, and thus far, in their eyes, the person who understood the secrets of the Suolong Well the most, besides Senluo himself.
Although they had joined the Senluo Division for various reasons, they all knew that the Senluo Division was established with the Suolong Well in mind, and they were all working towards the Senluo Division's objectives for their own purposes.
Now, with the Fengmen Zombie returning to the Senluo Division after decades, how could they, the later high-ranking members of the Senluo Division, not be curious? Even the Tailor, who had brought him out, knew nothing about the Suolong Well.
At that time, her mind was filled with resurrecting her mother, and she hadn't paid much attention to the Suolong Well. But now, it was different.
Immediately.
Fatty said with interest:
"Then stop dawdling. Let's go quickly and see what kind of formidable villain this zombie is that our Senluo Division went to such great lengths to save."
"Ababa (Let's go, I want to see too)."
"Let's go, let's go."
Mute and the others also spoke up.
Soon.
They walked through the passage and arrived in the room with the long table. The first thing they saw were two figures seated there. One was wearing a large cloak, and a rustling sound of insects crawling could be faintly heard from within. That was the high-ranking member of the Senluo Division, Insect.
Everyone simply greeted Insect, and their gazes fell on the other figure.
It was a figure they had never seen before. Judging by the corpse-like skin and the zombie-like eyes, it was enough to confirm that this person was the legendary Fengmen Zombie.
It was at this moment.
The Tailor looked at the Fengmen Zombie. She was the only high-ranking member present who had seen the Fengmen Zombie before. After sizing him up, she said:
"It seems the Gardener went to great lengths this time. I thought it was just a random body to make do, but it turns out he crafted a zombie body that looks just like you."
As her words were spoken.
The crowd observed the Fengmen Zombie, and he, in turn, was observing them. He looked at the Tailor and raised his hand, saying:
"I didn't expect that, apart from being a little weaker in strength, not as strong as the body of an Iron Coffin Zombie without its本体 (original body), there aren't many discomforts. Tailor, it's been a long time. Are these guys the current high-ranking members of the Senluo Division?"
In his words.
The Fengmen Zombie's gaze swept over Mute, Stutter, and the others. There was surprise in the depths of his eyes. When his gaze fell on Old Man Willow, the surprise was even greater. It seemed that after decades, the Weidao Division hadn't managed to harm the Senluo Division, and the Senluo Division had improved considerably.
It seemed his idea of retaliating against the Senluo Division for harming his descendants would have to be planned carefully. With so many strong high-ranking members, his revenge would be no different from suicide.
Immediately after.
Fatty and the others sat down one after another and introduced themselves to the Fengmen Zombie. They chatted briefly to get acquainted.
"I heard from Insect that someone named Zhang Wei injured some of you. Which two were they?"
The Fengmen Zombie asked casually.
As his words were spoken.
It could be seen that both Mute and Stutter twitched at the corners of their mouths. To outsiders, it looked like they were embarrassed by their wounds being exposed. Fatty, on the other hand, chuckled beside them:
"You two usually like to bully others, and now you've been bullied. You're reaping what you sow, hehe."
Mute: "..."
Stutter: "..."
Yes, reaping what you sow to the point of becoming true partners with you.
At the same time.
The Fengmen Zombie, unaware of the truth, sneered inwardly... Hmph, it was you two who dared to mess with my descendants, wasn't it? But as expected of my descendants, haha, they could even counter-kill two on one. Zhang Wei, don't worry, Uncle Grandpa will find an opportunity to avenge you more.
Immediately after.
He looked at Fatty. The Fengmen Zombie found Fatty, who had indirectly spoken up for his descendants, quite pleasing to the eye... The Senluo Division had recruited an interesting fellow.
Just as the Fengmen Zombie was about to say something.
Tap, tap, tap.
Footsteps were heard approaching.
Everyone present looked towards the door and saw Senluo, leading Embroidered Shoes and Paper Man, wearing a mask. Everyone raised their eyebrows, their casual conversation and playful demeanor changed. Was it an illusion, or did Senluo seem a bit angry? The aura of being unapproachable, which he always had, was even stronger.
"What happened? Why do you look so grumpy, Senluo?"
Fatty, who was always outspoken, asked without reservation.
In response.
The others didn't say much. They understood Fatty's personality. In normal times, they might have been speechless, but now they were eager for Fatty to ask, wanting to know why the usually calm Senluo had gotten angry.
Senluo glanced at Fatty. He also knew Fatty's temperament and wasn't angry. He waved his hand and said:
"It's nothing. It's just that things have been going smoothly lately. Gardener isn't attending meetings, Sheng Xuan is watching too closely and almost got Paper Man killed, and the Suolong Well contact plan failed."
As his words were spoken.
Paper Man, who was also sitting down as a high-ranking member of the Senluo Division, coughed violently. It was then that everyone noticed that Paper Man was injured. His face looked as pale as withered skin, sickly, and he seemed to be on the verge of death.
Upon seeing this.
Everyone was openly surprised. The high-ranking members of the Senluo Division each had their own unique characteristics. If anyone in the Senluo Division was the least likely to die, or had the strongest survival ability, Paper Man would definitely rank in the top three, simply because he was a paper craftsman, or rather, a paper effigy maker!
Yet, such a Paper Man with strong survival abilities had almost died. How could they not be surprised?
Then.
Paper Man said weakly:
"Senluo sent me to get the Soul Summoning Banner to attract the attention of the Weidao Division. After all, the Weidao Division sent Sheng Xuan. Although that guy has a strange personality, his strength is undeniable. If he found us, it would definitely affect the plan."
"So I planned to use my paper crafting skills to replicate some fake Soul Summoning Banners and use my paper man clones to spread them out to confuse the Weidao Division. But before I could act, Sheng Xuan found my paper man clones first. Not only did he kill all my paper man clones."
"Cough... cough..."
Paper Man coughed violently as he spoke, took a breath, and continued:
"He even destroyed the fake Soul Summoning Banners. My fakes had some of the power of the Soul Summoning Banner, but he blocked them all. He couldn't hurt him at all. If it weren't for my paper crafting skills, any other ghost exorcist profession would have definitely died there."
"Now, it's impossible to spread the fake Soul Summoning Banners. Sheng Xuan already knows."
At this time.
Senluo took over the conversation, his eyes gleaming.
"Regarding Sheng Xuan, Paper Man, you don't need to take responsibility. I'll handle this. It won't affect the Suolong Well matters too much. The Soul Summoning Banner is still in my hands, so there's no need to worry about these things. The main thing now is the Suolong Well contact."
"I think everyone knows that the Suolong Well contact plan failed. This will affect the subsequent plans, so we must find an opportunity to contact the Suolong Well again as soon as possible."
"In addition."
"What do you all think about Zhang Wei, who disrupted our plans? I remember you, Tailor, had reported that this Zhang Wei affected your plans in the Northeast. Now he has also affected the Suolong Well contact. He has disrupted us time and time again. With his growth rate, he might even affect future plans."
In his words.
Senluo seemed to have calmed down a bit, returning to his usual calm and unruffable demeanor. But everyone who knew Senluo knew that Senluo was most dangerous at this time.
The Fengmen Zombie also understood this.
Although Senluo didn't explicitly state how Zhang Wei would be dealt with, based on Senluo's words, he clearly had killing intent. To prevent Zhang Wei from affecting future opportunities, he wanted to eliminate this 'danger'.
Thinking of this.
The Fengmen Zombie's heart skipped a beat, and he thought, "This is bad." Based on his understanding of the Senluo Division, the Senluo Division's motto had always been to retaliate for every grievance. Now that Senluo agreed, the other high-ranking members would definitely support him.
"No! I have to find a way to stop them from making a move on my Zhang Wei!"
The Fengmen Zombie declared firmly in his heart.
