He Yishi said, “I haven’t lost my mind at all. You’re the same as him. Just because you're at the fifth and sixth layers, you scold and beat us however you want. All you have is better talent and a higher cultivation, so what’s so impressive about that?”
Hao Pingyang’s heart turned cold. Despite his higher cultivation, he only took a thirty percent share. If he wanted to, he could have embarked on this mission with much better companions. All he wanted to do was to take care of the juniors he was close with, but he never thought it would all end up like this.
The Zombie Daoist chucked like he was watching a show.
He Yishi tried to suck up to the Zombie Daoist. “Sir daoist, enlightened master, this one is willing to slave away for you. I’ll do anything you want, as long as you spare me.”
The Zombie Daoist said, “Alright. If you want to slave away for me, there’ll be plenty of opportunities.”
After pausing slightly, he said, “That is, once you become a zombie. Compared to living people, zombies are much more reliable. Tsktsk, you probably won’t be able to become an Iron Plate corpse with your talent.” Then he turned to Hao Pingyang. “You, on the other hand, are pretty good. It’s just a pity that the kid called Li Qingshan didn’t come with you. Otherwise, I’ll have three Iron Plate corpses. No one will be able to oppose me in Jiaping city anymore!”
As soon as He Yishi showed delight, he plunged into despair once again. He was ashen.
Even as a zombie, he was not as great as Hao Pingyang. That only added insult to injury.
There was a gentle sound, and a tiny figure quickly flew over.
“Who’s there?” The Zombie Daoist suddenly turned around and gazed into the pitch-black cave. He forced the restless Iron Plate corpse back under control before waving his right hand as he commanded four zombies to leap forth.
He had specially refined these four zombies. They were much more powerful than the zombies in the morgue. Although they were not as powerful as the Iron Plate zombie, they were equivalent to Qi Practitioners of the third or fourth layer. However, after they leapt over, he did not hear anything from them again.
The Zombie Daoist’s expression changed. His connection with the zombies was severed at the same time. “Who is it? Get out here!”
“Brother Hao, you really are bad at making friends!” Li Qingshan walked over from the entrance.
Zhang Lanqing said, “Qingshan!”
The Zombie Daoist became overjoyed instead of angry. “It’s you!” He studied Li Qingshan. “You really are a piece of great material. If you’re refined into an Iron Plate corpse, you might even be more powerful than him.”
Hao Pingyang said, “Be careful, that’s an Iron Plate corpse!”
“Too late!” Cold light flashed through the Zombie Daoist’s eyes. He rang the bronze bell in his hand, and the Iron Plate corpse lunged towards Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan retreated rapidly as he drew his Wind-entwining blade. He launched it as hard as he could, past the Zombie Daoist and directly towards the chains around Hao Pingyang’s limbs.

“Don’t even think about it!” The Zombie Daoist extended his hand and easily grabbed the Wind-entwining blade that had flown past him. He swung it heavily against the stone altar, and the ruined blade immediately shattered.
With a swish, the Iron Plate corpse swiped at him with its claws and left behind three gashes on the Black Wolf uniform that could even block crossbow bolts.
Li Qingshan was forced out of the dwelling in horrible shape. He called out, “Xiao An!”
Twang! A crossbow bolt pierced through the air with a shrill whistle.
The Zombie Daoist suddenly looked around. All he found was the same child who sat on the roof of the morgue under the moonlight standing there silently, holding a Thousand Mechanism crossbow in each hand.
She launched sixty Fire Crow bolts, which turned into sixty specks of light. From above, below, left, and right, they sealed off all the places where the Zombie Daoist could dodge.
“Trying to lure the Iron Plate corpse away?” The Zombie Daoist sneered. Since he could not dodge, he would not dodge. He was a sixth layer Qi Practitioner after all. Aside from being able to refine corpses, he possessed powerful true qi as well, so how could he be killed so easily?
True qi surged out from his sea of qi in his dantian, coating his body. The low grade spiritual artifact robes swept before him, and with the input of true qi, they turned into a steel screen.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The Fire Crow bolts landed on the robes and were immediately set off, exploding loudly.
Although the robes had been reduced to dust, the Zombie Daoist was completely unscathed. He pulled out the same Thousand Mechanism crossbow. “Let me try now!” He had just taken this from Zhang Lanqing. He planned on returning the favour.
Zhang Lanqing had never thought that a weapon he had created would instead become a tool for the enemy.
Xiao An did not try to take it on forcefully. She retreated behind a stone pillar. There were a few clinks, and a few Fire Crow arrows landed on the rock before exploding loudly. They blew apart the stone pillar, but Xiao An had vanished behind it.
The Zombie Daoist frowned. Suddenly, he turned the Thousand Mechanism crossbow towards Hao Pingyang. “What are you trying to do?” The Zombie Daoist fired away.
Hao Pingyang just happened to be lunging over with his broken chains in an attempt to launch a sneak attack.
Xiao An had not been trying to defeat the Zombie Daoist using the crossbows. Instead, she had saved Hao Pingyang, aiming a few Fire Crow bolts accurately at the chains. The Zombie Daoist was extremely alert, so he obviously noticed it.
Hao Pingyang did not try to dodge at all. He swung the chains heavily and blew up the crossbow bolts in the air. He roared out as he charged at the Zombie Daoist like he wanted to take him down with him. He wanted to unleash all the rage within his heart.
The Zombie Daoist stood exactly where he was as he faced the enraged Hao Pingyang. He constantly fired away with the Thousand Mechanism crossbow in an extremely controlled manner, pausing slightly after two or three bolts each time. He was not like Jin Bao and Jin Yuan, who fired all the bolts mindlessly.
The light from the explosions constantly illuminated his face, lighting up his sneer. How was it possible for him to be defeated by an enemy he had just caught?
Just when Hao Pingyang reached five steps away from the Zombie Daoist, the exploding crossbow bolts blew away the metal chains, creating an opening. In the end, a single crossbow bolt managed to cross through this opening, landing directly on his chest.
Hao Pingyang used his true qi desperately to block it, but he was still blown away. He slammed against the stone wall several meters away heavily, making all of his efforts go to waste. A Qi Practitioner without spiritual artifacts was like a tiger that had lost its fangs and claws. Moreover, he was a frail tiger right now.
The Zombie Daoist placed down the Thousand Mechanism crossbow as he looked down on him. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and he shielded his waist in a hurry, but it was already too late. A tiny figure rushed past him with unbelievable speed, stealing the bell from his waist.
The Zombie Daoist was startled, but he was not shaken up. He said coldly, “Do you really think you can control the Iron Plate corpse now that you have the bell?” The bell was only a tool for summoning and keeping the Iron Plate corpse under control. What actually controlled the corpse was his own will. Moreover, the bell was only useful if it were used by the master of the corpses.
