When Xu Xiaoshan heard what was happening, his scalp began to tingle so hard it felt like it might explode.
“Thirty percent?!?!” he asked, eyes turning bloodshot. He immediately raced out to check the blood serum altar. As for the grand elder, he looked completely taken aback. Even at a critical point in the corpse-refining process, there would never be such a drastic loss in blood serum, not unless an incredibly powerful zombie were being produced.
“A thirty percent loss?” he thought. Without hesitation, he burst into motion.
Soon, Xu Xiaoshan was at the blood serum altar. There, a huge blood cistern could be seen with over a thousand channels leading out into different corpse caves. As soon as Xu Xiaoshan appeared, the disciples in charge of the altar looked over. Ashen-faced, they clasped hands in greeting.
Xu Xiaoshan didn’t even hear them talking. He stared down into the huge cistern, thinking back to the day before, when it had been mostly full. But now, half of that amount was gone….
“How is this possible?!?!” he thought, beginning to tremble. The blood serum had to be purchased at significant cost, and what he was seeing in front of his own eyes caused his vision to begin to fade. But then, he watched as almost all of the remaining serum drained away, revealing the bottom of the cistern and leaving it completely empty….
All of the blood serum could be seen flowing into one particular channel….
“That leads to Nightcrypt’s corpse cave!!” Bursting with a murderous aura, he let out a howl of rage and sped away from the blood serum altar and toward Bai Xiaochun’s corpse cave.
In that very corpse cave, Bai Xiaochun was watching as the white smoke began to clear. Heart bursting with joy, he was just about to take a step forward when suddenly, his face fell, and his eyes went wide with disbelief.
“What’s going on!?!?” he said. He rubbed his eyes, not daring to believe what he was seeing. There within the white smoke were numerous green hairs, twisting and turning as they floated in the air.
Some of them were actually boring into the walls of the cave.
Bai Xiaochun felt his scalp tingling. He quickly opened his third eye and looked into the smoke. As of this moment, the cistern wasn’t even visible any more, nor was the corpse. All he saw was a huge, green hairball!
The hair wasn’t just spreading out to fill the corpse cave; some of it had pierced into the walls, and was spreading out to who-knew-where.
“Is that hair?” Bai Xiaochun thought, backing up as fast as possible, his mind spinning.
In that very moment, cries of shock and alarm began to ring out from the more than one thousand other corpse caves.
“What’s going on!?!?”
“Heavens! What happened? What are these green strands!?!?”
“Dammit! What are these green strands doing in my corpse cave!?!?”
It was then that a massive rumbling sound rose up that could shake heaven and earth, filling the entire corpse refinery.
The corpse caves began to collapse as green strands of hair raced in. Next, the green hair pierced into the bodies of the zombies that were still in the middle of being produced. Then, the hair on those zombies’ heads began to turn green, even the ones that already had white hair.
But that was nothing. Some of the hair stabbed into the ground. It couldn’t go very deep though, so it would pop out of the ground some distance away before stabbing back in.
Xu Xiaoshan watched in shock as the corpse refinery began to fall to pieces. Furthermore, the trees in the area were all starting to grow green hair as well, as were the rocks, plants, flowers, and other buildings. Everything was turning green.
As the corpse refinery collapsed, more green hair appeared and spread out in all directions. Countless disciples appeared, fleeing with looks of shock and terror on their faces.
“What is this stuff?! My refined corpse! I worked for two years on that thing! Now those green strands showed up and turned it green!!”
“Who did this!?!?” As people began to cry out in madness, a look of terror appeared on Bai Xiaochun face. He flew out of the corpse cave, leaving behind an exploding mass of green hair.
“Nightcrypt, what did you do!?” Xu Xiaoshan bellowed, shaking in anger.
As soon as the words left his mouth, everyone in the area turned to look at Bai Xiaochun.
Bai Xiaochun knew that, yet again, he had provoked a catastrophe. Heart pounding with fear, he let out a miserable shriek and then said, “What is that stuff? Dammit! Who did this? My refined corpse! I’ve been working hard on it for half a year!”
Everyone around him stared at him in shock.
“How dare you try to trick an elder like me! You’re dead!” Xu Xiaoshan’s eyes flickered with killing intent as he cackled in rage. Waving his hand, he sent the power of his Earthstring spiritual seas into motion. Tideflow power erupted out, along with a raging murderous aura. In the blink of an eye, deadly fluctuations were racing toward Bai Xiaochun.
Not a single person did anything to prevent what was happening. As for the grand elder of Corpse Peak, he merely frowned.
Bai Xiaochun’s face fell. He couldn’t simply reveal his true cultivation base, but if he didn’t, then based on Nightcrypt’s current level of power, this attack should kill him beyond the shadow of a doubt.
However, even in Bai Xiaochun’s moment of terror, countless howls began to rise up from the corpse caves!
Something very strange was happening!

Important note: Hey everyone, I made a mistake in a past chapter, by missing a single Chinese character that significantly changed the meaning of certain passage. You might remember back in chapter 116 that the Master of Sect Leader Zheng Yuandong was described as being the “founding patriarch.” Long story short, that was incorrect. His master was “a patriarch from the previous generation.” I apologize for any confusion the mistake caused.
1. Quick note that this is not the original chapter title. The original chapter title is actually a spoiler of something that doesn’t even happen until the following chapter. I slightly modified the chapter title to make more sense

Chapter
191: Rewards from Corpse Peak
Green hair burst out from the corpse caves, from the ground, from the plants and trees, even from the rocks, swirling through the air to form a huge barrier in front of Bai Xiaochun, which blocked Xu Xiaoshan’s attack.
A huge boom echoed out, and countless green hairs were destroyed. However, Xu Xiaoshan’s attack was weakened significantly.
Everyone in the area gasped, but then, before any cries of shock could ring out….
Numerous figures shot out from the rubble of the corpse caves, howling as they flew to stand in front of Bai Xiaochun.
One zombie after another appeared. They all looked different, and had different levels of power and different types of auras. However, there was one similarity between all of them, and that was that they had green hair!
“Dammit! That’s my refined corpse!! Nightcrypt, I’m gonna kill you!”
“Impossible! Why is my zombie protecting Nightcrypt?!?!”
“What’s going on here!?!? Nightcrypt, are you looking to die?!?!” The crowd was in a complete rage. Many of them even pulled out their corpse-controlling jade slips, but they quickly found that they couldn’t exert any control over their corpses whatsoever.
Xu Xiaoshan’s face was a mass of shock. His attack had been powerful, but there were now over a hundred refined corpses standing in front of Bai Xiaochun. Even if he had attacked with more power than he did, it still wouldn’t have done any good.
