381 Turning into a Corpse Devil
The two Daoist groups were just short of making a big move for the gold.
Luckily, they suggested that they should ask Shi Jian, the Eldest Senior Brother, so they didn’t start a conflict.
When the Daoists came to you and Shi Jian, you knew that the plan was already half complete.
“The gold was originally obtained by the people of our Mao Mountain. Why should we share it with others?”
Shi Jian’s words set the tone for this matter.
In an instant, the Daoists were overjoyed.
Shi Jian continued.
“After we kill the zombies, we’ll split five golden coffins among ourselves. Four of them will be transported back to the Mao Mountain. We’ll use them to repair the sect and the patriarch’s statue.”
Such an arrangement naturally caused some dissatisfaction among the Daoists.
However, they all agreed with Shi Jian’s idea.
It was impossible to keep it all to themselves.
Only Shi Jian’s suggestion was the fairest for everyone, and all the Daoists’ impression of Shi Jian increased greatly.
Only Ninth Uncle, who looked at his comrades who were blinded by wealth, sighed silently.
Soon, Shi Jian finished his recovery and did the same thing again. He threw out a Thunder Fist and kicked the coffin open in the air.
The second zombie guardian fell to the ground and was quickly killed by a group of Daoists.
This time, Shi Jian didn’t try to control his breathing. Instead, he smashed two golden coffins into the air.
He then released the other two zombie guardians.
Although the zombie guardians were powerful, it was still daytime and under the siege of many Daoists, it did not take long to destroy three coffins.
The last coffin belonged to the Zombie King.
All the Daoists gathered around the coffin.
However, their hearts were no longer in the same place.
All they could see were the four empty golden coffins.
That was a huge amount of wealth. After today, they would all be able to live a life of superiority.
“Eldest Senior Brother?”
Ninth Uncle saw Shi Jian sitting there for a long time without any intention of moving, so he called out to him.
However, Shi Jian still showed no reaction.
The Daoists also found it strange and immediately came to Shi Jian’s side.
Daoist Thousand Cranes’ face was as dark as water as he patted Shi Jian lightly.
Shi Jian, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly fell to the ground.
His seven orifices were bleeding, and his face was ashen. Clearly, he was already dead.
“Eldest Senior Brother!”
The Daoists immediately stepped forward to check on Shi Jian’s condition.
“Who is it? Eldest Senior Brother was still fine just now! How did he suddenly die?”
“F*ck!” snarled Mommi.
Just now, he was on the same side as his Senior Brother Shi Jian. Without Shi Jian, he couldn’t guarantee that the gold would not belong to him.
Mommi’s numbed reaction soon resonated with the crowd.
If the Eldest Senior Brother was dead, Ninth Uncle would naturally be the one that would have to deal with the gold.
One of the Daoists pointed at Ninth Uncle and roared, “Lin Fengjiao, was it you who took advantage of Eldest Senior Brother’s overexertion and killed him when he was recovering his power?”
“Lin Fengjiao, you’re really something. We knew that you and Eldest Senior Brother did not get along, but we never thought that you would do such a vicious thing.”
“Eldest Senior Brother’s efforts were in vain. When you asked for help, you even sent a message to us that we must come to your aid.”
“Today, I must kill you to appease Senior Brother’s spirit in heaven.”
…
The Daoists looked at each other and immediately decided to get rid of the biggest obstacle in their way of dividing the treasure.
Ninth Uncle had never expected his previously peaceful fellow disciples would want to kill him for the sake of gold.
However, he didn’t have the time to say much.
That was because the Daoists had already started to use their skills. One after another, talismans and hand seals were cast on Ninth Uncle’s body.
Ninth Uncle didn’t even fight back.
The Daoists who were standing with Ninth Uncle attacked at the same time, and the two sides immediately clashed.
Although Daoist Thousand Cranes did not care about money, he had a position in the imperial court. He had been thinking that if he handed this sum of money to the imperial court, he would definitely receive a great reward.
As such, Daoist Thousand Cranes did not make a move even after his fellow disciples started fighting. Instead, he flew up to a big tree and watched the fight.
Daoist Thousand Cranes’s brows furrowed.
He noticed something very strange. Shi Shaojian, the disciple of his Eldest Senior Brother, who was also known as the Celestial Master of the Mao Mountain, had disappeared.
Under normal circumstances, his apprentice would have the strongest reaction to the death of Shi Jian.
As for Shi Shaojian, the reason he was known as the Mao Mountain Little Celestial Master wasn’t just his extraordinary talent.
His profound cultivation base was already comparable to the older generation.
“That’s strange. Why is he gone?”
Daoist Thousand Cranes searched the valley carefully, but he did not see Shi Shaojian.
The battle below had already reached its climax.
There were already a few Daoists who had died in the hands of their fellow disciples.
Even someone as strong as Ninth Uncle had a sword wound on his body.
Suddenly, the sky was filled with dark clouds, and bolts of lightning appeared.
After a while, it started to rain heavily.
In the sound of the thunderstorm, Shi Jian’s body slowly sank into the ground.
“Stop fighting! You guys stop fighting!”
Daoist Thousand Cranes had already sensed danger approaching. He quickly flew down from the tree and tried to stop the battle below.
However, the Daoists who were already really angry didn’t care about this.
The scene was chaotic.
As for you and Shi Jian, you were standing at the top of the canyon, watching the battle below.
“Your method is really not bad. You’ve disintegrated everyone without any effort.”
Shi Jian looked at you, his face full of relief. The present Shi Jian was different from the past.
In order to become an immortal, Shi Jian had chosen the most insane method—that was to transform into a Corpse Devil.
Shi Jian’s death was real, but the place was full of Yin Qi, and with the spell he had drawn, it didn’t take long for Shi Jian to turn into a Corpse Devil.
The next step was to let Shi Jian devour the blood essence of all the Daoists below as planned.
At last, after the Zombie King’s power was absorbed into Shi Jian’s body, Shi Jian would definitely become the most powerful entity in the world, and it would be possible for him to ascend to the immortal world.
“haha, just wait and see. In a while, it’ll be time for us to make a move.”
You looked at Shi Jian, who had turned into a Corpse Devil and a mocking look flashed through your eyes.
