Cultivation: I have an omnipotent land

Chapter 30 Demon Corpse

Ring ring~

Seeing that the female corpse had become extremely ferocious after biting people, the corpse driver immediately shook the bell vigorously.

"Open the Heavenly Court, grant immortality, restore the three souls and seven spirits, return the spirit to its original state, the three souls reside on the left, and the seven spirits reside on the right, awaiting divine commands!"

As the corpse-driver chanted incantations, the female corpse gradually calmed down. Only then did the corpse-driver walk over, take out a silk handkerchief from his sleeve, and gently wipe the bloodstains from the female corpse's mouth and hands before helping her put on a black cloth hat.

Watching this scene from inside the carriage, Xiao Ming became somewhat interested in the corpse-driving technique. He could sense the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from the female corpse, roughly equivalent to a cultivator at the second level of Qi Refining. However, the corpse-driving master was just a mortal, and it was only through this corpse-driving technique that he was able to control the female corpse.

The bandits were all scared away, but the caravan members were also quite frightened.

"The female corpse bit the man to death."

"It's a zombie..."

A group of people whispered among themselves, their faces filled with fear, but Lü Xiucai remained calm and took the initiative to walk up to the corpse driver.

"I am Lu Qinghou, the leader of the caravan. I am grateful for your help, Immortal Master. I will never forget your great kindness. Please accept my humble bow."

"My name is Jiang Tianshou. My friend, there's no need for that. I'm not some kind of immortal master; I've only practiced some minor Taoist arts passed down in my family," the corpse-driver said, waving his hand.

"Master, there's no need for modesty. You are skilled in the art of Qimen Dunjia, a remarkable person whom we mortals can only look up to," said Lu Xiucai respectfully.

The corpse-driver just smiled when he heard this, clearly pleased with the compliment.

"Where are you going, Venerable Master?"

"Shiyang Village".

"What a coincidence! I am also heading to Shiyang Village. There is a wealthy family in Shiyang Village surnamed Shi. I wonder if the Venerable Master knows of them?"

"Of course I know. I'm also going to the Shi family to deliver these..." The corpse driver glanced at the corpses behind him and then stopped talking.

"In that case, why don't we travel together?" Lü Xiucai quickly suggested.

"It is possible, but as a corpse driver, I'm afraid your companions..." The corpse driver glanced at the terrified men behind Lü Xiucai.

"It's alright, I'll persuade them." Lü Xiucai hurriedly went back and gathered the men together.

"Master, if you really want to drag him along, he's a zombie."

"Yes, yes, that robber was bitten to death in one bite."

"I know there are zombies, but this sorcerer is here. You're afraid of zombies, but aren't you afraid of robbers?"

"In this world, even ghosts are cleaner than people."

Hearing Lü Xiucai's words, the other men, though still reluctant, stopped voicing their objections.

"Please rest assured, everyone, this is my wife. She is indeed a zombie, but as long as you stay away from her and prevent her from coming into contact with the scent of living people, she won't hurt anyone," the corpse driver explained to the caravan, pulling the female corpse dressed in a bright red wedding gown along with him.

"As for the corpses behind me, they are just corpses that I control using the corpse-driving technique. Once they are out of my control, they become ordinary corpses."

Hearing this, the caravan members' expressions softened; no normal person would dare touch a corpse.

And so the corpse-driver joined the caravan. Knowing the fear that mortals had of evil spirits, he deliberately kept a distance of several dozen meters and followed behind.

Lu Xiucai ran back and forth, delivering food and water to the corpse driver, while Xiao Ming deliberately lagged behind and walked with the corpse driver.

"Brother Jiang, this corpse-driving technique is truly amazing." Xiao Ming's gaze swept over the corpses. He could feel that the bells in the corpse-driving master's hands resonated with the corpses, drawing spiritual energy to move them.

"Young man, although these are just ordinary corpses, they are still considered unlucky, so it's best not to get too close." Seeing that the boy in front of him was a few years younger than himself and was not afraid of him, Jiang Tianshou felt a sense of goodwill towards him and started chatting with him.

"This bell is what's driving these corpses, right? Can I take a look?" Xiao Ming leaned closer.

"This is a family heirloom, we can't just give it away easily," Jiang Tianshou said, gripping the bell tightly.

"It's nothing, I was just asking." Xiao Ming laughed. Although he hadn't gotten his hands on it, he had already gotten a general idea of ​​what it was like from such a close distance.

This bell can be considered a magical artifact, although it doesn't even meet the threshold of a low-grade magical artifact, but it can indeed harness a trace of spiritual energy.

This corpse-driving technique is somewhat wondrous, but it is far inferior to true corpse-controlling techniques. It is probably a fragmented method passed down from the cultivation world to the mortal world.

Having figured this out, Xiao Ming didn't ask any more questions and just chatted casually with Jiang Tianshou.

It wasn't until after dark that the caravan found an open area to rest. Jiang Tianshou also drove the corpses into the nearby woods and set up the so-called corpse-controlling array before walking to the campfire.

Because of Jiang Tianshou's presence, Lü Xiucai specially brought out precious beef jerky and wine to entertain them. The merchants' companions, tired from a long day, gradually became more lively as they ate the jerky and drank the wine, and were no longer afraid of the corpse-driver in front of them.

As night deepened, everyone rolled up their bedding and went to sleep, soon filling the air with loud snoring. Unusually, Xiao Ming didn't meditate, but instead leaned against a carriage, preparing to fall asleep, because he didn't want to reveal his identity.

However, at that moment, the sound of bells rang in their ears, and the faint sound of rapid wind could be heard.

Xiao Ming frowned, immediately stood up, and looked towards the grove of trees.

At that moment, in the grove, Jiang Tianshou was about to rest against his wife when suddenly the female corpse's hand began to tremble violently, as if she was afraid of something.

Immediately, a gust of demonic wind swept in, and the bells of the corpse-controlling array began to ring wildly.

"What is it?" Jiang Tianshou stood up, holding the bell in his hand.

However, there was nothing around except the corpses; the air suddenly turned cold, and some white mist rose from the ground for no apparent reason.

"Is this corpse energy?" Jiang Tianshou was shocked. He quickly took out a black mask with copper coins hanging on it and put it on his face. Then he vigorously shook the bell.

"Open the Heavenly Court, grant immortality, restore the three souls and seven spirits, return the spirit to its original state, the three souls reside on the left, and the seven spirits reside on the right, awaiting divine commands!"

As Jiang Tianshou chanted the incantation, the corpses immediately reacted and gradually moved closer to him.

However, at that moment, a strong wind arose, and a strange figure easily tore apart the red thread bells of the corpse control array and quickly snatched away a corpse.

"Leave the body behind." Jiang Tianshou panicked and chased after them, taking the female corpse with him.

Just then, the eerie figure suddenly hurled a corpse at them. Jiang Tianshou quickly manipulated the female corpse to shield them and catch the body.

However, when Jiang Tianshou went over to take a look, he found that it was not the corpse that had just been kidnapped, but a long-haired man. Jiang Tianshou recognized him as the bandit leader he had met during the day.

However, his face was deathly pale and his body was emaciated, as the mysterious zombie had drained his blood.
