“Mr. Xu? I’m afraid it’s not Mr. Xu, is it?”

Lying in the coffin, Lin Ran took in everything, including the so-called Mr. Xu.

“Old Seven, Xu Ranzhi, the first one who came to find out the truth was indeed you. However, aren’t you looking down on your master a little too much? You actually used the Zhou Tian Dou number that I taught you to calculate whether my fate was of life or death?”

From the moment these people entered the secret realm, Lin Ran had seen through his beloved disciple who was hidden among the crowd!

Xu Ranzhi, Lin Ran’s seventh disciple, had inherited Lin Ran’s way of divining fate. He was able to deduce all the secrets in the world, claiming that there was nothing that he did not know.

After Lin Ran passed away, Xu Ranzhi established the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets and even set up a heavenly secrets ranking board. He claimed to be able to gather all the experts in the world and rank the divine weapons.

After that, he became a saint and was revered by the world as a saint of fortune-telling.

However, Lin Ran did not know about this. After all, he had passed away for three thousand years.

However, there was one thing that he knew. This beloved disciple of his seemed to want to find out whether he was dead or alive, and he also wanted to find something.

“The Jade Disc of Destiny? Old Seven can’t possibly think that the Jade Disc of Destiny is in my hands, right?”

Lin Ran thought for a moment. It seemed like the only thing that could move Xu Ran’s heart was the Jade Disc of Destiny. It was said to be a peerless treasure that recorded all the information about Heaven’s will.

“It seems like my decision wasn’t wrong after all. Three thousand years have passed. It seems like my disciples aren’t that reliable anymore.”

Lin Ran sneered and opened the shop.

Since Xu Ranzhi was here, he had to treat him well.

At the very least, he had to keep this incarnation of his as a gift from his disciple to his master.

“This Mister Xu should be the incarnation that Old Seven used the infinite secrets technique to give life to the puppet. His strength should only be in the bone-altering realm. Although Old Seven’s combat ability is average, he still has to be careful.”

Lin Ran mumbled as he rummaged through the shopping mall. Soon, he found a good item.

“There’s actually such a damn thing. The shopping mall is quite well-stocked.”

There was a hint of excitement in Lin Ran’s tone. There was even a hint of anticipation.

“Let me see how strong your incarnation is. Have you made any progress over the years?”

After Lin Ran bought this thing, he immediately placed it in the depths of the Zombie Cave and waited expectantly for the result he wanted to see.

…

At this moment, in the Zombie Cave, the remaining ten or so people had already arrived in front of the ten coffins.

The iron-armored corpses had already returned to the corpse-raising coffins, and even the lids had been closed again.

“What dense Yin energy!”

“We can totally use this corpse-raising coffin. If we lie here and cultivate for a day, we can cultivate outside for three or four days!”

This time, the people who came in were all demonic cultivators. Most of them used Yin energy, corpse energy, and other improper spiritual energy to cultivate.

Therefore, quite a number of them actually had their sights set on this corpse-raising coffin.

They planned to take it back and use it as a bed for themselves.

Since zombies could be used, then demonic cultivators like them who had similar cultivation methods as zombies could also use it!

“Mr. Xu, what should we do now?”

Zhao Dahu asked, coming to Mr. Xu’s side and looking at him warily.

“Wake up all these armored corpses. We can only continue to move forward after we get rid of them all.”

Mr. Xu looked as if it was a matter of course. Everyone was stunned.

Especially Zhao Dahu. He finally understood why he had asked if he could get rid of the zombies in the cave.

It turned out that he had planned to alert all the zombies at that time.

“DAMN! Is he an idiot?”

“That’s the fire-repelling pearl, not the corpse-repelling pearl. If the zombies alert everyone, aren’t they courting death?”

“Maybe this person really has some ability. Let’s wait and see.”

The people outside who were watching the show seemed to be enjoying it.

In any case, in the end, these people were all going to die.

Only when these people died would they have a chance.

“That’s good. If this person can clear some obstacles for us, that’s also a good thing.”

The Envoy of Fire had planned Mr. Xu’s death in his heart, so if Mr. Xu was willing to put in more effort at this time, he would be happy to see it happen.

“Envoy of Fire, let’s take a look at the situation.”

White Bone Taoist was not sure whether Mr. Xu was a pawn of a certain saint.

But from the results of his interactions with the sect master, this Mr. Xu indeed had some similarities. Even if he was not, there must be some connections.

The saint’s plans were far-reaching and unpredictable.

White Bone Taoist was also worried that this unknown saint might disrupt his plans, so he spoke up to remind the Envoy of Fire.

If this person really wanted to die, there was nothing he could do.

He could only hope that when this guy died, his blood would not splatter all over his body.

As expected, in the face of White Bone Taoist’s advice, the Envoy of Fire only nodded and did not even respond.

White Bone Taoist did not care. Why was he so anxious when someone was determined to die?

“Zhao Dahu, you promised me before that you would take care of these armored corpses.”

Mr. Xu turned around and looked at Zhao Dahu. Their eyes met.

Zhao Dahu’s body suddenly trembled. Why did this Mr. Xu… why didn’t he look like a living person?

Those eyes didn’t have any signs of life. They were like dead things.

“Don’t worry, sir. Since I, Zhao Dahu, have promised, I will definitely do it.”

Zhao Dahu wasn’t sure what was going on with this Mr. Xu, so he could only endure for a while and do as he said.

“Big brother, let us help you.”

Zhao Erhu and Zhao Xiaohu also rushed forward and stood together with Zhao Dahu.

As for the others, they didn’t move. Instead, they looked at the three of them coldly.

They were all devil cultivators, so they didn’t have any thoughts of working together for a win-win situation.

One person down meant one less person to share the benefits. If the three Zhao brothers could perish together with these armored corpses, that would naturally be the best outcome.

Even if they were to take care of these armored corpses, they would definitely be at the end of their rope and would no longer pose a threat to them.

Therefore, these people were all prepared to stand on the spot and watch the show. The three Zhao brothers did not say anything and only continued to carry out their actions.

The three of them slowly walked to the center of the ten coffins and didn’t wait for them to make any moves.

Suddenly, they felt a gust of cold wind blowing, and the Yin energy in the cave suddenly increased several times.

“Creak, creak, creak!!”

The corpse-raising coffins kept shaking and moving restlessly.

“It’s coming!”

Whether it was the people in the secret realm or the people watching the show outside the secret realm, they all felt a chill in their hearts.

“The corpse has risen!”
