Of course, this method came with a huge risk. After all, the headless zombie was so powerful that even Lin Jin and Shu Xiaolou together couldn't defeat it. They could only use the power of the demon sealing sword to seal it inside the painting world. If something were to go wrong this time, it would be a big joke.
Hence, Lin Jin fell into deep thought as he pondered over the details of this plan. Either he didn't do it or he did it to perfection. He couldn't afford to make even the slightest mistake.
Seeing Lin Jin in deep thought, Taoist Hu assumed that his injury was too troublesome for Lin Jin to handle so he said nonchalantly, "Brother Lin, it's fine even if I can't cure it. Don't let this worry you. I've endured it for so many years so it doesn't matter if I keep enduring it. I can handle it."
Lin Jin shook his head with a smile. "Brother Tiger, you're mistaken. Your injury can be cured. I was just thinking about the details of the treatment."
Taoist Hu was stunned at this before jumping up in shock. "Brother Lin, do you really have a way to cure it?"
Lin Jin nodded.
This time, Taoist Hu was truly excited.
Others might not know, but he had been living a life worse than death for the past several hundred years. The wound on his back could not be healed no matter what he did, and the corpse aura on it was constantly corroding him. At this rate, he would die in a dozen years at most.
How could Taoist Hu not be anxious?
Hence, upon hearing that Lin Jin really had a way to cure him, Taoist Hu was the most excited and expectant.
Lin Jin had been thinking about this for the entire night.
After all, this was a serious matter and he couldn't afford to be careless. For example, could the headless zombie suppress the immortal-corroding corpse energy? If one side was defeated, the headless zombie might become stronger, or the immortal-corroding corpse energy might turn around and take control of the headless zombie. Either outcome wasn't a good thing for Lin Jin. It was best if these two factors reached a balance.
Of course, this was difficult. But even if there was an imbalance, Lin Jin hoped that the headless zombie could suppress the immortal-corroding corpse energy because he could use the demon sealing sword to seal the headless zombie.
After making up his mind, Lin Jin went to Shu Xiaolou for a discussion.
However, Liangzhou was too far away from Tianxuan Royal City. Even if he were to travel on a cloud, he wouldn't be able to make it in time. Fortunately, Lin Jin brought one of Shu Xiao Lou's paintings with him.
It was the Peach Blossom House.
This was personally drawn by Shu Xiaolou and it had already formed a boundary. With Cosmos Ink, Lin Jin could teleport inside.
He explained everything to Daoist Hu, and the latter had no objections. In one sentence, as long as he could cure his chronic illness, he would be willing to climb a mountain of blades or plunge into a sea of flames.
Lin Jin took out the painting and arranged it properly. Then, he used Universe Ink and pointed at Daoist Hu. The latter instantly turned into a stream of light and was sucked into the painting. Lin Jin also entered the painting world.
At the same time, far away in the Tianxuan Royal City, the Little Book Pavilion sensed something and immediately stood up.
"Bastard, you finally remembered me."
After mumbling to himself, Shu Xiao Lou smiled again. Then, he tidied up his clothes and hurriedly entered the Painting World.
There was also a Peach Blossom House in the Painting Realm, and it was exactly the same as the one in the Academy. However, the Painting Realm lacked a sense of realism. Lin Jin and Daoist Hu had been waiting for a while now. Suddenly, the door to the Peach Blossom House was pushed open and a woman in a red dress appeared.
Lin Jin quickly went up to her.
Shu Xiao Lou was all smiles at first, but when she saw Daoist Hu following behind Lin Jin, she was stunned. Then, she straightened her expression and looked at Lin Jin suspiciously.
She seemed to be asking, 'What's going on?'
Lin Jin explained the situation and explained the situation.
Shu Xiao Lou's expression turned grim. The last time she and Lin Jin teamed up against that zombie, they had to give it their all and only barely managed to seal its headless body. If there was even the slightest mishap in this plan, the headless zombie might be released and there would be no end of trouble.
However, Shu Xiao Lou knew that Lin Jin had always been a dependable person. If he wasn't confident, he wouldn't have made this decision. After all, Lin Jin knew how terrifying the headless zombie was.
After some discussion, Lin Jin and Shu Xiao Lou decided to give it a try.
There were many layers to the Painting Realm and the one that sealed the headless zombie was the most secretive one. Only Shu Xiao Lou could enter.
With a wave of Shu Xiao Lou's sleeve, Lin Jin and Daoist Hu only saw a flash of light before they were deep within the Painting Realm.
This place was completely different from the sunny day before. The light here was dim and dark clouds loomed overhead, making it hard to breathe. Below them, the mountains and rivers had been tainted by layers of death aura. It looked incredibly strange, as if someone had splashed a blob of ink on a painting.
At the center of the darkness was a headless corpse that had been pierced through by a sword, nailed to the ground. That headless corpse looked terrifying with a pair of eyes protruding from its breasts and its abdomen split open like a mouth. Its flesh was purplish-green in color and was incredibly tough.
"Isn't … isn't that the corpse?!" Daoist Hu stared at it for a moment before exclaiming in surprise.
Lin Jin was shocked. He asked for more details and Daoist Hu nodded in confirmation. "There's no mistake. The corpse has a Yin Gathering Talisman on it. Although it doesn't have a head, this alone is enough to confirm it."
Lin Jin pondered for a moment before realization dawned on him.
He got it.
It was no wonder the corpse bore such a grudge against him and even brought his men to Tianxuan Kingdom just to cause trouble. So it was a coincidence that Lin Jin and Shu Xiao Lou managed to seal the corpse's body.
This was why the corpse was so desperate.
However, it was fortunate that this was the case. Otherwise, if the corpse managed to reclaim the corpse that he had been refining for centuries, he would be invincible with the help of the zombie dragon.
In an instant, Lin Jin understood the cause and effect of this incident.
With this, the headless zombie couldn't be released. Lin Jin was also certain that the corpse wouldn't let this matter rest.
If it were Lin Jin, he would never let it go if his body was taken away.
Understandable!
However, the more this was the case, the more he couldn't let this headless zombie out.
Lin Jin suddenly said, "Brother Tiger, the immortal-corroding corpse refinement energy in your body is one of the evil supernatural powers of a corpse cultivator. Later, I will use the spirit refinement technique to force this immortal-corroding corpse refinement energy out of your body. This thing is extremely terrifying and we can't leave it in the outside world. Otherwise, it would surely poison everyone to death. When that happens, half of Liangzhou would become a wasteland. Even the inhabitants of Liangzhou can't afford to let this happen. That's why we have to use the painting realm to seal this immortal-corroding corpse refinement energy and headless zombie here."
Daoist Hu had heard about this from Lin Jin before.
"The only thing I'm worried about now is that the immortal-eroding corpse refining energy will neutralize the headless zombie. This will make this evil entity even more powerful, making it even more difficult to suppress it. But based on my calculations, although these two evil entities come from the same place, they might not neutralize each other. They will repel and suppress each other. With this, a balance can be formed. With the demon sealing sword's seal, we don't have to worry about it for the time being. "
Lin Jin continued.
This was the only solution he could think of.
