Zhang Tianle's lips twitched slightly.

This Wheel King is strangely lively.

The ancient corpse howled and tried to jump out of the coffin, but Zhang Tianle forced it back in once again with the Purple Cloud Thunder.

King Yama clicked his tongue twice: "This corpse is strangely tough! It's been struck by so many bolts of Purple Cloud Thunder, yet it hasn't turned to dust."

Um?

Something's not right!

A thousand-year-old corpse could never withstand a single bolt of Purple Cloud Thunder.

Something's wrong with this ancient corpse!

King Yama squinted as he examined the coffin.

When his gaze fell on the coffin, his face turned extremely ugly: "These beasts deserve to die!"

Zhang Tianle also saw the patterns on the coffin.

The pattern was the same one they had encountered many times before—the sacrificial pattern of the extraterrestrial demon god.

This also means that this place is related to the twin trees in the cycle of reincarnation.

The combination of zombies and twin trees is somewhat bizarre.

Zhang Tianle threw out several more Purple Cloud Thunder cards.

This time, however, he threw the object not at the zombie, but at the patterns on the coffin.

It was the instant the talisman touched the pattern.

Suddenly, a very piercing "sizzle" sound rang in everyone's ears.

A blindingly bright purple light exploded before their eyes.

What followed was a tremendous, earth-shaking tremor.

When they were able to open their eyes again, the pit where the coffin had been was now much larger.

The original coffin disappeared, along with the ancient corpse inside.

Zhang Tianle: "..."

He had only wanted to test the reaction of the Purple Cloud Thunder to the pattern, but who knew that the Purple Cloud Thunder's reaction would be so strong.

What puzzled him was that when he first threw the Purple Cloud Thunder, he clearly touched the coffin. Logically, the Purple Cloud Thunder should have reacted at the beginning, so why didn't it react before?

It's impossible that the Purple Cloud Thunder was blocked.

Standing next to Zhang Tianle, King Yama looked at Zhang Tianle and was speechless for a moment.

It's really confirmed!

If Zhang Tianle had no connection with so-and-so, so-and-so certainly wouldn't have opened such a huge back door right from the start.

The Purple Cloud Thunder is enough for people of their level to undergo tribulation.

Most importantly, even with such a massive Purple Cloud Thunder, it didn't harm them in the slightest. Who can they reason with about this?

That's it?

Yu Liang'en ran to the edge of the deep pit and stared dumbfounded at the spot where the ancient corpse had been.

How is he supposed to explain this to him?

It's impossible for him to run up to his friend with a pile of yellow earth and say, "Look, this is the ancient corpse you wanted."

Seeing Yu Liang'en's despair, King Yama said, "Under the Purple Cloud Thunder, there is absolutely no way any foreign object could exist. Let alone a foreign object related to...

The Wheel King automatically omitted the words "extraterrestrial demon god".

Otherwise, he could say it, but Yu Liang'en wouldn't have the chance to listen.

“Perhaps you can use that to trade with them.” King Yama pointed to another coffin not far away: “There’s also a thousand-year-old zombie lying in there, but it’s a female zombie. Anyway, they’re both thousand-year-old zombies, so they’re pretty much the same.”

Yu Liang'en: "..."

What he said made perfect sense, and he was speechless.

However, what those people wanted was a thousand-year-old male zombie.

Seeing Yu Liang'en remain silent, King Yama patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be so rigid! The person who sent you to find this zombie didn't have good intentions to begin with, yet you're still clinging to your own ideas. If you ask me, you should really just take that female zombie back to them. It would be good to annoy them a bit!"

Moreover, since you haven't been invaded by the corpse poison yet, you can still live for another thirty or forty years. Isn't that enough time for you to find your own apprentice?

I'm telling you, you need to broaden your perspective!

Yu Liang'en shuddered.

When he came to his senses, he realized he had really been getting stuck on this one point.

If things had gone according to plan, given his abilities, he really would have been defeated here.

They were actually plotting against him from the very beginning.

Even if they do agree to help him pass on his legacy, as Zhang Tianle said, they will absolutely not sincerely pass it on.

Now that he has so much time, he has more than enough time to find another successor.

Moreover...

Yu Liang'en looked at Zhang Tianle beside him.

He could also ask Zhang Tianle to help him find out where his successor is.

Thinking this, he gritted his teeth: "Fine, I'll give them that female corpse as an explanation. I want to see what they have to say!"

Zhang Tianle, who was on the side, watched as King Zhuanlun gave Yu Liang'en advice, and was rendered silent by him.

Is this the Wheel King?

That's a really bad idea.

"Since you've listened to my advice, I'll help you transport the body to them! However, this matter will require the assistance of Fellow Daoist Zhang."

You must pass through the Yin Road.

Once this zombie reaches the Yin Road, its cultivation level will surge, and it might accidentally cultivate into a terrifying zombie. Therefore, when passing through the Yin Road, a seal is needed to temporarily isolate the zombie from the outside world.

As soon as King Yama spoke, Zhang Tianle immediately drew a sealing talisman on the coffin where the female zombie was, sealing her away.

After sealing the female zombie, Zhang Tianle wandered around.

Before he came, he saw from Yu Liang'en's face that his actions were related to his master's death, but so far he still hasn't found any clues.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Tianle took out his innate divination kit.

He immediately used the innate divination technique to cast a hexagram for himself, referring to the innate divination bucket and innate coins.

The resulting hexagram is Kan (坎).

According to the interpretation of the innate divination method: his master was murdered by someone who was born in the year of the Rat.

Zhang Tianle narrowed his eyes.

He looked at Yu Liang'en and asked, "Senior Yu, if I may ask, what is your friend's zodiac sign?"

"mouse."

So, after going around in circles, the thread ended up with Yu Liang'en's friend.

"Back then, your master and I were very good friends with him. Over the past ten years, he has risen through the ranks and is now the vice president of the Metaphysics Guild. His reputation has spread overseas. Now that I think about it, I'm probably the worst off. I almost lost my lineage."

He almost lost his life.

Zhang Tianle lowered his eyes: "This time, I'll accompany you to meet my master's 'good friend'."

He wanted to see who this person was and how he had managed to assassinate his master.

What Zhang Tianle found strange was that his master had never mentioned to him that the vice president of the metaphysics guild was his friend.

“Okay. Let’s go see him together then. I also have a lot of things I want to ask him.” Yu Liang’en smiled wryly.

He wanted to ask his friend what his intentions were in taking his life.

It's one thing for him to be willing to die, but it's quite another for him to be plotted against and killed.

"Then let's go take a look together." King Yama arrived in front of the coffin, kicked it into the gates of hell, and said to Zhang Tianle and the other man, "Let's go."
