That Chang Fenglin, after killing someone, not only refused to pay for the funeral expenses, but also handed the corpse over to Zhang Pengju, a corpse refiner. He didn't even spend money to buy a set of burial clothes, and directly used the wedding dress that Luo Nian had made for a long time.

She never got to wear this wedding dress before she died, but now she's wearing it after she's gone. What an irony!

Chu Nian did not actually leave this mountain area directly, but went to the Witch Corpse Gate at the top of the mountain.

Seeing this, Zhang Pengju chased after them while shouting angrily, "How dare you, you poisonous zombie! Instead of fleeing, you want to go to my mountain gate. What do you intend to do?"

Chu Nian didn't answer, but just gave a cold laugh.

Although Zhang Pengju was chasing after her with all his might, strangely enough, even though the female corpse walked calmly and didn't seem to be walking very fast, he couldn't catch up with her no matter what he did.

Upon reaching the gates of the Witch Corpse Sect, Chu Nian sensed a powerful protective barrier. The Republic of China was nearing the end of its Dharma era, yet such a strong protective barrier still existed here, which surprised Chu Nian.

Zhang Pengju, who was behind him, felt that the female corpse moved as ethereally as the wind. Despite his best efforts to chase after her, he only arrived a few minutes after Chu Nian reached the mountain gate.

At this moment, Chu Nian was spreading his hands upwards, with green flames rising from his palms, instantly transforming into green fireballs that flew towards the mountain gate barrier.

Startled, Zhang Pengju shouted, "The mountain gate is in danger! The mountain gate is in danger!" He then threw out several signal flares to alert the elders inside the mountain gate.

Although he felt it was unlikely that his master and uncles would be instantly killed by the female corpse like his fellow disciples, he still felt he should inform them—this female corpse was too terrifying.

He was warned by his master from a young age that no matter how strong or talented a corpse refiner is, they must be cautious in everything they do. He has followed this instruction since he started refining corpses, but he still caused many of his fellow disciples to die in an instant.

It could be said that, apart from a few underage disciples who hadn't completed their apprenticeships, he had basically wiped out all the disciples of the Corpse Witch Sect in his generation with this one blow. He was already worried about how to explain this to his sect, but unexpectedly, this female corpse, instead of fleeing far away, came to the Corpse Witch Sect instead.

The female corpse clearly possessed a very clear sense of self. Moreover, she could even cast spells, making her quite different from ordinary zombies.

He had heard of the existence of corpse cultivators in ancient times. Zombies formed under natural conditions also had certain cultivation methods, and many corpse cultivators who cultivated to a high level could use magic. However, that was in ancient times, not in this era!

He couldn't understand why the Corpse-Refining Sect, which had been refining corpses for hundreds of years and whose practices only appeared in ancient books, would be happening to the zombie he had created. What kind of luck was this?

Many people inside the Corpse Witch Sect saw his signal flare, and some powerful elders had already sensed that the barrier was under attack. These elders knew at a glance that the person who came was no ordinary individual, and ordered the younger disciples not to leave the sect, but to come out and confront the powerful figure themselves.

However, a moment later, the Witch Corpse Sect was reduced to ruins, with countless dead and wounded, and only a few young disciples managed to escape.

Chu Nian used magic to erase the memories of corpse refining from the children's minds, hoping that this method of corpse refining, which traps the soul in a corpse and prevents reincarnation, would be eradicated forever.

Chu Nian ignored Zhang Pengju's repeated attempts to control her with spells, and was even internally injured by the backlash from his forced spellcasting. After burning the entire Witch Corpse Sect with corpse fire, she drifted away.

She's going to find Chang Fenglin.

Zhang Pengju probably finally accepted the tragedy of his failed corpse refining and the destruction of the Witch Corpse Sect. After being stunned for a long time, he quickly left.

To Chu Nian's surprise, he went straight to Maoshan. He guessed that only Maoshan's Taoist arts could subdue the female corpse. Their Witch Corpse Sect had always been at odds with Maoshan, but he couldn't care less about that now.

Low-level zombies are extremely afraid of sunlight and usually hide in the shadows during the day, preferring moonlight. However, zombie cultivators who cultivate their bodies and reach high levels become no different from humans, no longer afraid of sunlight, and can even consume human food like humans.

Chu Nian escaped Zhang Pengju's control by using these corpse cultivation techniques, and even used this to destroy the Corpse Witch Sect in one fell swoop. It's just a pity that she can't kill Zhang Pengju, who created this corpse, for the time being.

After getting away from the Witch Corpse Sect, she changed out of her red wedding dress. Wearing it out would attract too much attention.

Because she didn't expect Zhang Pengju to go directly to Maoshan, she also didn't expect that when she arrived at the Chen Mansion where Chang Fenglin lived in S City, she would find that the mansion was protected by a powerful Taoist barrier.

She examined the barrier closely and discovered that things were getting a bit complicated.

Her corpse definitely couldn't enter the barrier. And since she couldn't use her spiritual power externally, she could take out the talismans she collected in the ruins. However, if she actually used these talismans, because their destructive power and range were uncontrollable, the barrier would probably break, but the mansion and the people inside would likely be reduced to dust.

If those innocent people died at her hands, she really didn't know if it would create another dimension filled with resentment, requiring her to resolve that resentment separately. She didn't want to create trouble for herself; she wanted to avoid it if possible!

Therefore, she did not intend to use talismans.

After observing the area for a while, she discovered that ordinary people could enter and exit the barrier without any problem, and the people living in the mansion frequently came and went, and their lives were not affected in any way.

Meanwhile, the Maoshan Taoist priests were only keeping a close eye on the mansion from the shadows.

Chu Nian guessed that the people in the mansion did not know that she, the female corpse, was coming to seek revenge on their son-in-law.

Chang Fenglin and Chen Baiying remain as loving as ever.

Although Chen Boteng doesn't like Chang Fenglin now, this brother-in-law was chosen by his precious younger sister Chen Baiying, whom he cherishes every day. For the sake of his sister's happiness, he didn't mention Luo Nian to Chen Baiying.

Moreover, as we know from the plot, he only learned about Luo Nian's corpse being refined from Jiang Yuxuan at the very end of the story, after he had married the female lead Jiang Yuxuan, and how Chang Fenglin made Luo Nian disappear.

Later, fearing that Chang Fenglin would use the same methods on Chen Baiying in the future, he killed Chang Fenglin with a gangster's long knife while Chang Fenglin was away on a business trip.

Chang Fenglin's true identity and the truth behind his death remained a mystery even until the very end of the series.

Although Luo Nian had become a zombie, her soul had been trapped in the corpse for a long time. She noticed early on that Chen Baiying was well protected by Chen Boteng, which reminded her of her parents who also loved her in the same way.

But with her parents gone, she had no one to rely on, let alone with such an ending... How could she not be heartbroken?! Therefore, she envied Chen Baiying, not only because Chen Baiying was dignified and elegant in her words and deeds, but also because she had family to love her from beginning to end.
