Chapter 70

After Uncle Kiu and his two apprentices returned from the Ten Thousand Worlds Tower, they naturally planned to trade the ghosts and zombies from the mortuary there. However, upon returning, they discovered that the body of Old Master Ren, which had been placed in the mortuary, had disappeared. At the same time, Master Ren was found dead in his own residence.

Under Ah Sheng's persuasion, Uncle Kiu took Ah Sheng and Wen Cai to actively search for Old Master Ren. They encountered Old Master Ren, who had turned into a zombie, in a forest. After a fierce battle, although they severely injured the zombie, it managed to escape.

Not long after the three returned to the mortuary, news of people being killed in the town began to spread. The victims had several blood holes on their necks, similar in size to fingers. Uncle Kiu and his companions went to stop the zombie from harming more people, but by then, they were no match for the zombie, which had already drunk the blood of over a dozen people.

To prevent more deaths in the town, Uncle Kiu had to seek help at the Ten Thousand Worlds Tower.

Zhou Yang, along with Uncle Kiu and his two apprentices, instantly arrived at the mortuary. The mortuary was similar to a modern crematorium, where bodies of the deceased were kept.

"The zombie will likely go to Master Ren's house tonight. We'll go there and wait for it," Zhou Yang said after looking around the mortuary, finding it rather uninteresting.

He wasn't predicting the future; he knew from the movie "Mr. Vampire" that the zombie of Old Master Ren would go to Master Ren's house tonight to kill Ren Tingting.

"Shop owner, you are right. This zombie is a wealthy local gentleman who, in the past, coerced a feng shui master to give him a piece of feng shui land. The feng shui master then destroyed the feng shui, causing his body to turn into a blood-sucking zombie. This zombie will surely kill all the members of the Ren family," Uncle Kiu said, nodding with a look of reverence in his eyes.

The shop owner was indeed powerful, able to deduce that the zombie of Old Master Ren would go to Master Ren's house tonight without any prior information.

The Ren family's villa was not far from the mortuary. Zhou Yang and his group walked for about ten minutes and arrived at the Ren residence. Master Ren, being a wealthy gentleman of Tianfeng County, had a very luxurious villa. The interior was lavishly decorated, with a Western influence.

"Miss Ren."

Led by Uncle Kiu, Zhou Yang and his group entered Master Ren's memorial hall. Inside, Master Ren's daughter, Ren Tingting, was dressed in mourning clothes, kneeling before the altar, her eyes filled with sorrow.

"Uncle Kiu, is there something wrong?" Ren Tingting's voice was somewhat hoarse as she looked at Zhou Yang and his group with tearful eyes.

"There might be a zombie coming tonight. We are here to catch it," Zhou Yang stepped forward and explained.

"A zombie?" Ren Tingting's large eyes were filled with disbelief. Having received Western education, she naturally did not believe in ghosts and spirits.

"Alright, just consider us here to pay respects to Master Ren," Zhou Yang said, not bothering to explain further.

He then moved to the side, sat down, and quietly waited while holding the Taoist techniques of Mount Mao that Uncle Kiu had traded at the Ten Thousand Worlds Tower. These techniques mostly involved talismans and ghost-catching tools.

Zhou Yang was not interested in the art of drawing talismans; what truly intrigued him were the techniques for opening the Heavenly Eye and some strange stories in the Mount Mao Taoist techniques.

Compared to zombies, ghosts had the advantage of stealth and powerful soul energy. Once invisible, they were hard to detect with the naked eye, and their powerful soul energy could create illusions.

Zhou Yang's willpower was such that ordinary ghosts could not affect him at all.

For Zhou Yang, once he could detect the form of a ghost, he would no longer be so passive in dealing with ghosts.

As for comforting Ren Tingting, Wen Cai and Ah Sheng were already trying to win her favor, standing close to her and thinking of ways to please her.

Uncle Kiu, on the other hand, was setting up various tools to combat the zombie in the memorial hall.

"Bang!"

Zhou Yang was engrossed in reading some interesting Mount Mao Taoist techniques when a loud noise came from outside. The group quickly ran to the door and saw the main gate of the Ren villa being violently smashed open.

A zombie in tattered Qing dynasty official attire quickly leaped toward the memorial hall.

Zhou Yang quickly put away the Mount Mao Taoist techniques and observed the rapidly approaching zombie. The zombie's skin was black and wrinkled like old tree bark, looking extremely disgusting.

"Roar!"

The zombie, which was heading straight for Ren Tingting, suddenly stopped, sniffed the air, and let out a wild roar. It then quickly leaped toward Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang watched the zombie with interest as it pounced on him. Although the zombie was powerful, its speed was relatively slow compared to Zhou Yang. In terms of speed, it wouldn't even touch the hem of Zhou Yang's clothes. Zhou Yang was already invincible at the innate level.

Just as the zombie was three steps away from Zhou Yang, he suddenly lunged forward, appearing in front of the zombie in one step and delivering a powerful punch to its body.

Clang!

Like two pieces of metal colliding, a clanging sound echoed. Zhou Yang stood firm, while the zombie was sent reeling back several steps, leaving a long trail on the ground.

"Master, what kind of zombie-catching method is this? Why didn't you teach us?" Ah Sheng looked at the imposing Zhou Yang with envy. This method of physical combat was much cooler than using tools.

They had tried to win Ren Tingting's favor for a long time, but she only politely chatted with them for a few minutes. Zhou Yang, who had ignored her, now had her eyes fixed on him with admiration.

"Hmph, you can't even use basic talismans properly, and you want to learn other things?" Uncle Kiu said sternly, secretly wondering, "Is this a new secret technique?"

"Roar!"

The zombie let out a roar, its eyes filled with intense desire as it pounced on Zhou Yang again.

As the zombie's powerful, fierce hands came at him, Zhou Yang did not dodge. He raised his left hand, gathering a massive amount of true qi, and crouched slightly to avoid the incoming hands. He then delivered a powerful punch to the zombie's abdomen.

"Spit!"

A mouthful of blood spewed from the zombie's mouth, sending it flying.

Uncle Kiu's eyes nearly popped out. He had never seen a zombie, whose body was as hard as steel, be punched to the point of spitting blood. Only special items like glutinous rice, ink lines, and fire could damage a zombie's body.

"Roar!"

The zombie let out a mournful cry, its body trembling from the powerful punch. It turned to flee.

But how could Zhou Yang let it go? This was a free punching bag, and he didn't have to worry about breaking it.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the courtyard, the zombie was being thrown around by Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang felt invigorated, his true qi flowing faster and his spirit becoming more excited.

"Roar!"

A continuous, powerful roar erupted from Zhou Yang's mouth, shaking the surroundings and even causing cracks to appear on the nearby windows.

A strong wind centered around Zhou Yang, lifting dust and mist into the air.

"Master, is the shop owner crazy?" Wen Cai, covering his ears, which were ringing, asked in shock. The shop owner's power was too great; just a roar had left him numb and weak.

"Don't you know? This is sound wave power. Didn't you see the zombie being shaken to the point of holding its head in pain?" Uncle Kiu hadn't replied, but Ah Sheng, wanting to show off his knowledge to Ren Tingting, confidently explained.

"Indeed, it is sound wave power," Uncle Kiu rubbed his temples, which were still ringing from the shock, and nodded.

"Great!"

Zhou Yang said with joy, having just broken through to the peak of the innate realm. It was now time to send the zombie on its way.

"The people inside..."

Ren Tingting's cousin, the security captain Ah Wei, led a group of people in anger, but before he could finish his sentence, his eyes widened in shock.

He saw several massive hands, each about four to five meters wide, coming down on him.

Boom!

A loud explosion, like a thunderclap, echoed, and the ground shook. The security captain Ah Wei, twisting his somewhat stiff neck, looked back and saw that the three-meter-high wall of the villa had been completely destroyed, with a large handprint visible.

Zhou Yang retracted his true qi and walked toward the security captain Ah Wei, saying calmly, "What do you want?"

"I just... wanted to ask... if the master has eaten. I... have set up a banquet at Chunman Tower and would like to invite you for a meal," the security captain Ah Wei, his left hand trembling, pulled out a white handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, stuttering.
