Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World - Chapter 123: The Evil Way Incoming

The door of the tomb had been broken by someone. There was a big hole that could let one person through. It was broken inside out by the ancient zombie when coming out of the coffin.

Qin Yi jumped in with Ming He.

This tomb was larger than all the stone houses seen before. The inside was filled with death energy due to the long-term breeding of a zombie, which further suppressed the spiritual force. The interior furnishings were also very simple. The ground was in the shape of a huge sixty-four hexagram. In the center were yin and yang fishes. A coffin was placed in the middle of the yin and yang fishes, but it was destroyed when the zombie awoke.

There were very few burial objects, except for a box on each of the yin and yang fishes. They were probably the belongings of the tomb master.

The reason for not burying the painting scroll was probably to avoid obsession at the last moment, and it was also a “lifeline” for people to gain control of the cave house.

There were no harmful designs even in the tomb. Everything was peaceful. There were probably only some enchantments on the burial items and coffin, which were to prevent others from robbing and destroying the tomb.

The master of this place was a very pure cultivator. He was the most standard cultivator in all aspects. He had no intention of hurting or fighting at all, which made him respectable.

Correspondingly, the evil cultivator who wanted to turn him into a zombie puppet was abhorrent.

Qin Yi ran to the northeast corner of the tomb, where there was something like a small crystal core. He placed the scroll next to it, and the crystal core shone soft light on the painting scroll. Slowly, two drops of water dripped from the crystal core, like tears.

The soft light converged.

Qin Yi touched the crystal core, and an aerial view strangely appeared in his mind.

It was the aerial view of the entire cave house.

Liu Su just taught him that. Generally, cave houses had such a core hub. It could control all the arrays in the cave house or change the doorways, change the orientation, and even self-destruct the cave house.

Unfortunately, this cave house had nothing.

Surprisingly, there was not only the front door in this tomb. There was also a passage at the bottom of the yin and yang fishes, leading to somewhere.

A sigh came from his arms, “This cave house has a rigorous layout. Every setup is connected. It has no intention of hurting the enemy. It only has the intention of seeking tao. He was a true immortal.”

Qin Yi blinked and looked down at his arms… He was still holding Ming He.

Ming He leaned in his arms and looked at the door to avoid his gaze. At this glance, she discovered a rat hole in the corner.

Qin Yi also saw it and complained, “There was a rat in this cave house, and this senior didn’t crush it to death?”

Ming He said, “This senior will not kill easily. He might be lonely in his later years, so this rat accompanied him through his last days. Its thunder mutation was probably done by this senior. It’s a pity that I wasn’t sensible at the Spirit Initiation Stage, so it chewed up the door and ran out…”

“He deserves a punch when I get out.”

After finishing speaking, there was nothing more to say, so the atmosphere became awkward.

They looked at each other for a long time before Ming He said helplessly, “How long are you going to hold me?”

“Ugh…” Qin Yi quickly put her down, “I thought you couldn’t move yet.”

“I can walk now.” Ming He took two tentative steps, then she stopped, “Are you disappointed?”

Qin Yi looked up without speaking.

Ming He laughed and sat down cross-legged, “I’m still unable to use the enchanted weapons, so I still have to rely on you to deal with the incoming enemy.”

Qin Yi seemed to hear a suggestive meaning in her words – “I still can’t resist you, do you want to change your mind?”

Then he thought again: The aloof Ming He won’t do this right? I must be getting the wrong idea

Ming He whispered, “Myriad Shinra Sect uses on all things. Even if they cannot exert their strength here, most of the things they control can be used. Even worse, this place has no offensive enchantment…”

Qin Yi also had a headache. The door has been broken. If the enemy charges in…

The crystal core had clearly shown a black dot on the map in his mind.

He could even detect the cultivation of incoming enemy through the cave house’s leyline.

Piano Heart Stage level nine.

Female.

Female? Qin Yi couldn’t help but ask Ming He, “Hey, could this be your nemesis? You know, the grudges between the righteous saintess and the evil saintess?”

Ming He was stunned for a moment, “What are you talking about? Where do cultivators get the free time to fight every day? It’s just friction caused by disagreements. How are there nemesis? What’s the point of cultivating with such obsession… We don’t have any saints or saintesses too. There are just junior and senior apprentices. Who dares to self-claim saint?”

In fact, Qin Yi heard some subtext in the second half of the sentence. Ming He is probably the most powerful among her peers. She is being modest.

In addition, the information in this sentence also proves that Myriad Shinra Sect is at the same level as Ming He’s Celestial Pivot Heaven Palace. This person is most likely experiencing the mortal world to seek a breakthrough, then she happened to encounter the ancient zombie here and want to seize it. But because she was not strong enough, she was doing all the little moves behind the scenes. Qing Xu was just her chess piece.

Because of Ming He’s interference, she had to release the ancient zombie early. Her purpose was to let Ming He and the ancient zombie perish together so that she could take all the benefits.

A very typical way of thinking of an evil way disciple.

The cause and effect are finally clear.

On the map, the black dot was the corridor and stone room where Ming He fought the ancient zombie. She wandered back and forth for a while, seeming to be studying the situation of the battle and tracking down the traces.

Qin Yi touched his chin, thinking about how to kill her.

There is no need to reason with this kind of evil cultivator. It is impossible to expect her to find her conscience. She will never pity me and Ming He’s current injured state. She will kill us for sure, and the worst possible outcome is that she may turn us into zombie puppets.

Even not to mention us, it is unforgivable that she refines the ancient zombie.

Therefore, it is not a good thing to not deploy any offensive enchantment in the cave house. If I have my cave houses later, I can’t be so kind. I must guard against others.

He thought for a while, then he whispered into Ming He’s ear.

This kind of whispering was just a subconscious behavior, which was enough to prove that Qin Yi did not regard himself as a transcended person.

Ming He resisted the urge to escape and nodded gently as she listened to Qin Yi’s words. Her crystal earlobes had already turned red.

…

The woman in black over there finally arrived at the place where the ancient zombie died. Looking at the ancient zombie leaning cross-legged in the corner, her vigilant and cold face finally showed a hint of joy.

Although the ancient zombie was battered, its foundation was still there. If it was repaired, it would become another Cloud Riding Stage zombie puppet. Under the sect’s secret art, it might be able to restore its cultivation level. That would be extraordinary. Its battered state let her collect it easily.

The woman touched the ring and wanted to put the ancient zombie in it.

But at this moment, a strange voice suddenly sounded in her mindsea.

It didn’t count as a voice, but rather a sentence that formed directly in her mindsea.

“You… want to take me?”

The woman subconsciously took a step back and looked at the ancient zombie warily.

The ancient zombie remained motionless, but the voice still sounded, “You’re too weak to erase my true spirit.”

With the words, the woman had a blast in her mindsea. Her expression became more solemn.

This was at least the soul power of Cloud Riding Stage. It was indeed not a zombie puppet that she could conquer now. Especially if the soul power resisted, she couldn’t put it into the ring.

It’s really strange. It stands to reason that its soul must have dissipated before it turns into a zombie. Could it be that its true spirit recovered on its own and formed such a strong soul power?

There is still something I don’t know about its Radiant Yang Stage during its lifetime. Maybe it is due to some kind of mystic art.

The voice then said, “A man and a woman broke into my cave house, damaged my body, and wanted to get their hands on my burial objects… If you kill them for me, I can give you the treasures in my tomb.”

The woman asked, “How do you give them to me?”

“No one can open my enchantment. I can tell you the secret code to unlock the enchantment.” The voice issued a vicious curse, “If you take my secret code and do nothing, I will doom you for the rest of your life!”

TL: This woman should at least be at the similar stage as Ming He, will she be deceived by such little trick?
