"Shen Xingye, do you still remember me?"
Faced with Ye Chen's question.
The Bronze-Armored Corpse looked at Ye Chen with a blank expression.
For some reason, it felt that the person in front of it was vaguely familiar. It was a mysterious feeling.
That face was really … really asking for a beating!
"Roar!"
It roared angrily, and two sharp fangs appeared at the corner of its mouth. Wisps of black gas spewed out from its mouth, and then it fearlessly attacked Ye Chen.
The fingernails in its hand expanded, wrapped in extreme black gas.
"Looks like you really don't remember me!"
Ye Chen shook his head slightly, a little disappointed. Zombies were an anomaly in the Three Realms and Six Paths. They were abandoned by everything and wandered around with no one to rely on.
It could be said that no one was willing to become a zombie. If Shen Xingye was still alive, he probably wouldn't be willing either.
"Fine, let me free you!"
Ye Chen seemed to sigh softly with pity. His face returned to its previous indifference. He slapped a Five Thunder Talisman into the sky and shouted, "Thunder!"
"Boom!"
A bolt of lightning with terrifying power descended from the sky and struck the Bronze-Armored Corpse. The Bronze-Armored Corpse's face immediately revealed a look of fear, and it subconsciously wanted to escape.
This was the might of heaven!
It specialized in restraining evil beings!
Even zombies that had no intelligence were no exception!
Boom!
Under the lock of lightning, where could it run to? Therefore, almost in an instant, the bolt of lightning that was as thick as a baby's arm immediately bombarded its body.
"Roar!"
A roar mixed with endless pain rang out, shocking Qi Qingfeng, Tang Ning, and the others in the distance. When they looked again, the place where the Bronze-Armored Corpse was located was engulfed in flames.
After the flames dissipated, there was a pit on the ground that had been struck by lightning. Other than that, there was nothing else.
At this moment, Tang Ning and the others stared blankly at the figure in front of them. The awe in their eyes was extremely strong.
"Is this the lightning technique of the Celestial Master Sect?"
Qi Qingfeng muttered to himself, "No, even the people of Mount Longhu, the most orthodox holy land of the Celestial Master Sect, can't do this, right?"
He was a member of the spell world, so he naturally understood the ability of the Celestial Master Sect to summon lightning. It required setting up an altar, placing offerings, burning sacrificial rites, and even chanting scriptures to achieve this step.
Moreover, the power was not so terrifying.
"Fortunately, Master didn't use this move on me earlier!" Yinshi was shocked, but he also felt an uncontrollable sense of relief in his heart.
If Ye Chen had used the Thunder Method against him earlier, he would have died under the thunder. After all, no matter how strong his body was, it could not be stronger than a Bronze-armored Corpse, right?
Almost at the same moment the Bronze Armored Corpse died, the black gas that was swirling around the entire Pure Yang Peak dissipated. Not long after, it returned to a clear and bright state.
"Alright, you guys can come over now!" Ye Chen turned around and said.
Only then did Tang Ning and the rest walk over. Tang Yuanshan looked around and could not help but ask, "Mr. Ye, is there anything wrong with our Tang family's ancestral grave?"
At his age, wealth and power were just fleeting clouds. Only his ancestors mattered. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the face to see his ancestors after he died.
"The zombies are all dead. It should be fine, right?" Tang Ning was full of lingering fear.
"No!"
However, Ye Chen shook his head, "Old Master Tang, the feng shui layout here has been destroyed. If you want to ensure that your Tang family remains standing, you have to move your ancestral grave!"
"That's right!"
Qi Qingfeng also nodded and said, "Old Master Tang, Master Ye is right. The only thing we can do now is to move the grave, and we have to do it as soon as possible. There has been a drought here for a few days, and I estimate that there will be a torrential downpour tonight. I suggest that we take out the bones first."
Only then did Tang Yuanshan realize the seriousness of the matter. He immediately asked Tang Guodong to make a call. Not long after, more than a dozen members of the Tang family rushed over with tools.
After pushing the tombstones and digging the graves for more than half an hour, they took out a severely decayed corpse from the Tang family's ancestral grave. It was probably the ancestor of the Tang family.
However, when they opened the other coffin, they could not help but exclaim, "Master, there's no one in the coffin!"
As soon as this was said.
Tang Yuanshan immediately walked over. As he walked, he said, "Impossible. This is Master Xiao's tomb. How can there be no one? Could it have been stolen?"
When everyone got closer to take a look, they saw a wooden figure lying in the purple coffin. The wooden figure was made of gold-threaded nanmu and there were many yellow talismans pasted on it.
Even so, the wooden figure and the coffin showed no signs of decay. It looked as if they had just been placed in there.
"How could this be?"
Tang Yuanshan was in disbelief, "This is clearly Master Xiao's tomb. Why is there a wooden figure lying inside?"
In reality, he was not the only one. Even the rest were shocked. Tang Ning could not help but ask, "Grandpa, are you sure it's Master Xiao lying inside?"
"100% sure!" Tang Yuanshan nodded.
Xiao Buyi had passed away 30 years ago. At that time, he followed Xiao Buyi's last wish and did not hold a funeral. Instead, he buried him in the Tang family's ancestral grave in an extremely low-key manner.
It could be said that he had seen Xiao Buyi's body being placed into the coffin with his own eyes, and he had been watching the coffin being buried.
"Then, why did Master Xiao turn into a wooden figure?" Tang Guodong was confused.
Ye Chen walked to the coffin and looked at the wooden figure lying inside as well as the yellow talismans on it. From the corner of his eye, he accidentally noticed something that looked like a wooden tablet in the wooden figure's left hand.
He could not help but pick it up and take a look. He realized that the wooden tablet was only the size of a palm. It was a little similar to a tortoise shell. However, the material it was made of was neither gold nor jade, nor was it made of wood, copper, or iron.
Tang Yuanshan asked curiously, "What is this?"
Ye Chen shook his head slightly. With a thoughtful look on his face, he asked, "Old Master, I think this Master Xiao has been lying to you from the very beginning. In fact, he's not dead at all!"
"What? He's not dead? "
Tang Yuanshan was shocked. "That's impossible, right?"
"Nothing's impossible. If I'm not wrong, this wooden figure's body is engraved with substitute incantations."
Ye Chen chuckled and said confidently, "I think this wooden figure is Xiao Buyi's substitute. If you don't believe me, you can ask Qi Qingfeng and Yinshi."
Qi Qingfeng and Yinshi could not help but take a step forward when they heard this. They carefully sized up the wooden figure in the coffin, as if they were thinking about something.
A moment later, Qi Qingfeng took a deep breath and said, "Old Master Tang, Master Ye's judgment is correct. This wooden figure's body is engraved with substitute incantations. I think it's really Master Xiao's substitute."
Yinshi nodded as well.
"I saw Master Xiao's corpse with my own eyes that day. This … this …" Even now, Tang Yuanshan still could not accept it.
Ye Chen shook his head slightly and said, "It's very simple. If Xiao Buyi is really as magical as you say, and his spells are divine, then he can casually use a camouflage spell to confuse your eyes."
At this point, he continued, "Sometimes, what the eyes see may not be true."
