Super Divine Daoist Skill-Chapter 62 Snake Head (Seeking Recommendation Votes)
Chapter 62: Chapter 62 Snake Head (Seeking Recommendation Votes)
"Finally dead."
Bai Ziyue murmured to himself, his gaze immediately shifting to see Wu Hao not far away, with a face full of disbelief and shock.
The zombie he refined had been a Martial Artist of Inner Cultivation Level in life. Although it didn’t preserve its pre-death combat power, its refined physique was completely retained. Together with the washing of Yin Qi, its defense was so strong that even Martial Artists specialized in External Forging of Tendons and Bones found it difficult to slash through.
*Never imagined Bai Ziyue could kill it with just three strikes.*
Suddenly, Wu Hao met Bai Ziyue’s cold, murderous gaze, and his heart skipped a beat. He quickly said, "You... you’re crazy? You can’t kill me, I’m Daoist Wutong’s disciple. If you kill me, you will surely die too."
"As long as he doesn’t find out, it’ll be fine."
Bai Ziyue sneered, power surged underfoot, and with the Light Body Talisman’s effect, he moved as swift as lightning, his blade shimmering horizontally.
"Isn’t this what you planned to do earlier?"
Having said that, Bai Ziyue stopped in his tracks.
At this moment, Wu Hao’s body suddenly collapsed behind him. A long slash on his neck gushed blood continuously.
"Huff... huff..."
Confirming Wu Hao was dead, Bai Ziyue exhaled a long breath.
This time, honestly, even Bai Ziyue felt a bit reckless.
*Yet his character dictated he was unwilling to submit.*
*The other side was prepared to use his parents as leverage, even compromising this time would certainly lead to another.*
*Not to mention, their target, the Yin Yang Jade Pendant, was already shattered. Even if he wanted to return it, it was impossible, so a decisive move seemed best.*
Fortunately, the result wasn’t poor, even considered quite successful.
"However, this place is no longer safe to linger in. I need to take care of some aftermath."
Looking at the corpses on the ground, Bai Ziyue felt little discomfort and directly reached out to gather all things on Wu Hao, including the Ghost-Nurturing Gourd, that bell, and a purse.
Then he looked around and spotted the abandoned well in the distance.
Resolute, Bai Ziyue dragged Wu Hao’s body and the dead zombie, tossing them all into the abandoned well.
Finally, he thought for a moment and moved a massive stone to block the well.
*Just to be safe, even if no one had fetched water from this contaminated well for a long time.*
Next, he returned to the edges of the bloodstains, took out several Cleaning Talismans, and activated them sequentially.
The bloodstains on the ground were swiftly cleaned away. Even skilled arresting officers would find little evidence to trace on the ground.
"Hm?"
Just as Bai Ziyue was about to leave, he felt a sudden urge and glanced at the opened courtyard.
Considering for a moment, Bai Ziyue promptly walked inside.
First, a pit appeared before him in the courtyard, faintly, he could sense the dense Yin Qi emanating from it.
"Corpse Nurturing Cave? This really is one of Wu Hao’s residences."
Confirming this, Bai Ziyue moved directly into the courtyard.
A master bedroom, a kitchen, and several guest rooms.
From the dust on the ground, Bai Ziyue easily discerned the master bedroom as Wu Hao’s frequented spot, and without hesitation, he entered.
The room’s furnishings were simple, just a wooden bed, a desk, and a chair.
Suddenly, Bai Ziyue’s eyes focused.
"Wu Hao’s cultivation journal?"
A thick book was placed on the desk.
Bai Ziyue hadn’t expected Wu Hao to have the habit of writing cultivation journals.
Nearing the desk, he opened the book and found it recorded Wu Hao’s cultivation insights. They included experiences in nurturing ghosts, records of nurturing corpses, and even methods for employing magic.
*Upon brief inspection, Bai Ziyue felt there might be some gains, so he quickly put it away.*
Then, he searched the room again. Seeing no further yields, he left.
Shortly after Bai Ziyue left, the water in the abandoned well at Liugang Temple’s entrance suddenly began to stir.
Soon, a giant snakehead emerged from it.
The blood-red eyes of the snakehead flicked its tongue, making soft hissing sounds.
Suddenly, it opened its large mouth and swallowed Wu Hao’s flesh.
Moving closer to the zombie’s corpse, it showed some disdain but quickly swallowed it whole nonetheless.
After a long silence, its blood-red eyes glanced overhead, before slowly re-submerging into the dry well.
The gradually calming well water became crystal clear as if nothing had ever occurred.
...
Bai Ziyue returned smoothly to the Sunburst Gang Branch headquarters.
Shortly after returning and storing his belongings, Senior Brother Liu Heng visited, saying, "Junior Brother Bai, the Sect Leader has returned and wants to see you."
"Yes, thank you, Senior Brother."
Bai Ziyue paused, surprised his master had returned so quickly from Wolf Horn Mine. He quickly answered and went to change before heading with Liu Heng to the forecourt of the headquarters.
Entering the forecourt, besides the Sect Leader, there were also two tall figures sitting in chairs to the side. frёewebηovel.cѳm
"Disciple Bai Ziyue, greeting Master."
Bai Ziyue promptly bowed.
"These two are Right Guardian Liu Yang and Mine Manager Qin Yu, greet them as well."
Liu Dong smiled slightly and spoke.
"Greetings, Guardian Liu and Manager Qin."
Bai Ziyue quickly bowed again.
"This is the talent who achieved Small Success in the Zen Meditation Posture in forty days? Seems quite reserved and instinctive, indeed impressive, too bad I missed the chance to mentor him."
Liu Yang smiled helplessly, saying.
When Bai Ziyue’s talent was spread, he was also inclined to take Bai Ziyue as a disciple.
However, Sect Leader Liu Dong intervened, forcing him to abandon the thought.
"Whether he can become great depends on himself."
Liu Dong said lightly.
"I noticed your shoulder is swelling, what’s the matter?"
Qin Yu suddenly interjected from the side, asking curiously.
"I got kicked by the Golden Mountain Pig."
Bai Ziyue’s heart throbbed slightly, surprised that his arm’s minor discomfort was noticed. He mentally praised Qin Yu’s outstanding vision while replying calmly without showing anything on his face.
"This lad likes sword techniques, so I sent him to Old Li for some real encounters."
Liu Dong explained with a smile, then continued, "I heard from Liu Heng you were looking for me earlier?"
"Yes, Master, with New Year approaching, I wish to visit my hometown."
Bai Ziyue naturally wouldn’t mention the matter of inviting his master to intervene. With a quick turn of thoughts, he found a reason.
Indeed, with the year’s end only half a month away, he truly wished to make a trip.
Upon returning to Ming Pearl Restaurant today, he heard a villager specifically came to inform him that his mother was pregnant again.
*Now with the crisis involving Wu Hao resolved, he felt inclined to bring his parents to town.*
*After all, the town is far more comfortable than living in the mountain village.*
"You may." Liu Dong nodded and said, "By the way, we’ve just hunted an Exotic Beast at the mine this time, ask Liu Heng to get you some to supplement yourself."
