“Father!”
Seeing the zombie flung away with a slap, Ren Ting Ting froze for a moment before reacting.
She rushed over and grabbed Ren Lao Ye, checking if he was injured.
Only when his daughter pressed his neck to examine him did Ren Lao Ye recover from the terror of being almost bitten to death by the zombie.
“I, I’m not dead?”
He subconsciously raised his hand and touched his neck.
Finding no bite marks where the zombie should have bitten him, he turned to the person who had suddenly appeared and saved him from the zombie’s mouth.
“You are… Master Jiu?”
This person looked much younger than the Master Jiu he remembered, he would even believe it if this was Master Jiu’s son.
But as the major landlord of Renjia Town, Ren Lao Ye naturally knew that Master Jiu had only two apprentices.
So after a moment of stunned silence, Ren Lao Ye guessed that the person who had saved him must be Master Jiu himself.
He just didn't know why he seemed to have suddenly become decades younger.
Hearing Ren Lao Ye’s doubtful voice, Master Jiu paused slightly.
He subconsciously glanced at the live stream on the chat group.
Seeing his own reflection in the ‘mirror’, the image of him regaining his youthful appearance after his internal organs had been refined to the point of reversing the innate, he finally realized:
That the disguise he had originally used to avoid unnecessary trouble had lost its effect during the process of slapping the zombie away just now, due to the erosion of the zombie’s evil aura.
He didn’t pay too much attention to this minor matter.
Master Jiu nodded to Ren Lao Ye and his daughter.
Seeing that the zombie which had been slapped away was shaking on the ground a few times before standing up again.
In the face of the temptation of consuming the blood of a close relative to complete its evolution, it overcame its fear of this sudden powerful enemy and charged at them again.
Master Jiu used a single hand to form a hand seal, and the Subduing Demon Body Refinement Technique's accompanying Subduing Demon Hand Seal manifested.
The blood-red hand seal descended from the sky and slammed into the zombie with a loud bang, burying it in the ground, leaving only its head exposed, roaring and struggling.
However, the Subduing Demon Hand Seal’s subduing demon power had already dispersed most of the zombie’s evil energy with a single blow, preventing it from gathering its strength in a short period of time.
No matter how it struggled on the ground, it was futile; it couldn’t pull itself out of the ground.
Seeing Master Jiu’s such divine power, everyone in the Ren Family felt a deep sense of security from the bottom of their hearts.
Ren Lao Ye led Ren Ting Ting over.
He looked at the zombie that seemed to have an unusual obsession with biting him, that was still struggling to take a bite even though it was nailed into the ground with only its head left exposed.
Ren Lao Ye frowned before asking,
“Master Jiu, this zombie is…?”
He had been inexplicably invaded by a zombie in his own home and had almost died under the zombie’s fangs.
Although he had some guesses about the zombie's identity from the time it appeared and the familiar clothes it was wearing.
But Ren Lao Ye was still unwilling to believe that his father, who had been so loving to him in life,
Would turn into a zombie after death and then try to kill him.
However, Master Jiu’s words shattered the last hope in his heart.
“This zombie is your old master, who has broken out of his coffin.”
Ren Lao Ye: “…”
Ren Ting Ting: “…”
They were both speechless by Master Jiu’s blunt words.
Ren Lao Ye opened and closed his mouth several times before saying in a dry voice,
“My, my father?
“But I haven’t done anything wrong to my father, why did he become a zombie and try to kill me?”
Master Jiu glanced at him, flipped his hand and took out a few talisman papers, sticking them one by one onto the struggling zombie.
Watching a cloud of black energy instantly disperse from the zombie’s body, followed by the zombie becoming motionless as if it had lost all its strength, stuck in the ground, no longer moving.
He then said,
“You said that your old master has become a zombie.
“Zombies are cursed by heaven, and they can evolve quickly by absorbing the blood of their close relatives.
“For zombies that only have animalistic instincts.
“From the moment they become zombies, you are no longer their son or granddaughter, but the most tempting, most delicious blood food that allows them to evolve.
“Moreover, this zombie has been tampered with, it was specifically sent to kill you and your entire family.”
Hearing that this zombie had been tampered with, Ren Lao Ye’s face changed again.
Just as he was about to ask something, three figures appeared at the entrance of the Ren Family Mansion.
“Master, we’ve caught the person.”
Ren Lao Ye and the others looked in the direction of the voice and saw Master Jiu’s disciples Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai walking in from outside.
Each of them was holding an arm, supporting an old man with white hair and beard, withered and haggard, who looked as if he was about to die at any moment.
Seeing this scene, how could Ren Lao Ye not guess what was going on.
Thinking back to what Master Jiu had said earlier about his father turning into a zombie because someone had tampered with him, trying to use his father to kill his entire family.
Ren Lao Ye rushed forward, looking like he wanted to tear the scoundrel who wanted to harm his entire family to pieces.
When he got closer and saw the old man being held by Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, who was having difficulty moving.
He was slightly stunned, then filled with anger:
“It’s you! It’s actually you!”
“Cough, cough!” The old man coughed weakly, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.
Looking at Ren Lao Ye who was right in front of him, his eyes were filled with hatred as he said,
“I regret that I made a wrong move and seriously underestimated this Lin Daochang's strength.
“If not for this, I would have surely made the Ren Family flow with blood today!”
“You… Good for you! You, you, you Daoist are so vicious.
“I just forcibly bought a Feng Shui grave from you, yet you plotted for twenty years to kill my whole family?
“Come on! Beat him up! Beat him up hard! I’m going to beat this black-hearted, rotten old man to death today!”
Upon hearing this, the servants immediately picked up their clubs and were about to attack the old man.
Seeing the old man closing his eyes in resignation, ready to face his death.
Master Jiu hurriedly said, “Wait.”
Seeing everyone looking at him, he said to Ren Lao Ye,
“Ren Lao Ye, as the saying goes, cause and effect.
“The reason why this Daoist harbored such hatred and did such an unrighteous act is because you forcibly seized someone else’s Feng Shui grave.
“Fortunately, we discovered it in time today and haven't caused any irreparable harm.
“Would you give me some face, Ren Lao Ye, and let me handle this person?”
If it had been before today, as the richest man in Renjia Town and the one with a hundred or so guns at his disposal, Ren Lao Ye probably wouldn’t give Master Jiu face.
But times have changed.
Not to mention that Master Jiu had just saved their lives, just Master Jiu's strength alone that he had displayed today…
He subconsciously glanced at his own father, who was trapped in the ground and couldn’t even be pulled out with a tug.
Ren Lao Ye nodded decisively, “Since Master Jiu is willing to step in, I’ll leave it all to you.”
“Then thank you, Ren Lao Ye.”
Master Jiu nodded in thanks to Ren Lao Ye.
He stretched out his hand, once again capturing the zombie, Ren Lao Ye’s transformed body, from a distance.
Looking at the zombie that had lost its ability to act due to the talisman’s control.
He asked, “Ren Lao Ye, do you have any thoughts on how to deal with your late father who has become a zombie?”
What other choice did Ren Lao Ye have?
“I’ll leave it all to Master Jiu.”
After hearing Ren Lao Ye’s answer, Master Jiu asked in the group,
“Group Leader, are you satisfied with this zombie?
“If you’re not, I’ll go catch another one.
Li Yi: “This one will do.”
He was joking, this was the main zombie from “Mr. Vampire”, how could he be dissatisfied?
Lin Fengjiao: “Good, please wait a moment, sir.”
After asking Li Yi’s opinion, he turned to Ren Lao Ye and said,
“I have two ways of dealing with this.
“First, your late father has become a zombie, and if he escapes control, he will definitely harm others.
“To prevent future disasters, I’ll cremate him now with a fire talisman.
“Second, there is a supreme being outside the three realms who wants to collect a zombie.
“I have been blessed by a chance encounter with a fairy, and I can offer your late father to this supreme being…”
“Two! Two! I choose two!”
Before Master Jiu could finish his sentence, Ren Lao Ye had made his choice.
Although his father had almost bitten him to death after becoming a zombie.
But if he could avoid his father being burned to ashes, he still wanted to do so if possible.
Moreover… a supreme being outside the three realms?
Just listening to Master Jiu’s description of him, one could tell that this was definitely an incredible fairy blessing.
His father could be related to such a being.
Even if their Ren Family couldn't gain any benefits from this, it was still ten thousand times better than being burned to ashes with a fire talisman!
