In a hotel in Ningcheng, Wang Kun was sweetly dreaming, meeting the King of Dreams. Ever since he lost contact with the Taotie Ghost, the backlash from his spells had left him severely weakened. Tonight, he was finally enjoying a good night's sleep when another mental connection jolted him awake, leaving him wide awake.
Wang Kun rubbed his throbbing temples and pulled out an old clay bowl and a yellow talisman from his bag. The bowl was filled with clear water, and he took out a packet of cinnabar, rubbing a bit into the water. Instantly, the clear water turned red, resembling a bowl of fresh blood. He then placed a strand of dry hair into the bowl. With both hands, he slowly formed several Hand Seals and placed the talisman over the bowl's opening.
"Cosmic Unity, insight into entry and exit, limitless Borrowing Method... Urgent Command!" The red water in the bowl dried up at a visible speed, seemingly absorbed by the strand of hair. Wang Kun's eyes suddenly glowed red.
At the same time, Bai Zhuo faced a Jumping Corpse whose eyes also glowed with an eerie blood-red light. Zombies only possess two souls, so they rely on hearing and smell. This Jumping Corpse suddenly halted its movements, its eyes shining with blood light, alerting Bai Zhuo to step back several paces.
"Damn! Why is it you again?" Wang Kun saw Bai Zhuo's face through the Jumping Corpse's eyes and was instantly furious. After finally taking on a job to infiltrate Ningcheng's Yin Yang Realm, he was thwarted by this inexperienced fool, losing a hard-cultivated Taotie Ghost in the process due to spell backlash. It would be an injustice not to take revenge!
However, after calming down, Wang Kun realized that his own Jumping Corpse was well-hidden; even if this novice turned South City High School upside down, it would be impossible for him to discover it. Even if he did find it, he wouldn't be able to disturb the Jumping Corpse. Yet Wang Kun couldn't fathom how this Jumping Corpse had awakened.
He racked his brain but couldn't think of the existence of Su Meiniang, the Millennium Ghost! It turned out that Su Meiniang had released a surge of malevolent energy to repel the Snow Woman, inadvertently awakening the Jumping Corpse.
Raising corpses requires a place of four yin energies and a decayed environment. South City High School perfectly met these two conditions, and there was even a Cedar Tree planted in the school's backyard—this type of tree harbored heavy Yin Qi and was one of the best materials for raising corpses. The thought of such an excellent location being discovered made Wang Kun furious again. He issued an order to the Jumping Corpse—kill without mercy!
Bai Zhuo cautiously stepped back and said to the few girls behind him, "You all go first; saving Ning Lan is our priority!"
"Huh? This..." Yang Liu hesitated while Ge Shui Lian worried about Ning Lan's injuries. She glanced at Bai Zhuo with complex emotions before nodding: "Alright, Bai Zhuo, take care!"
Yang Liu and Ge Shui Lian supported Ning Lan as they slowly left. What Bai Zhuo didn't anticipate was that Yang Liu was a Nine Yin Profound Body—a great tonic for evil spirits. Despite her protective talismans, the Jumping Corpse could still sense the dense Yin Qi emanating from Yang Liu. Her movement provoked the Jumping Corpse's wrath.
With a light leap, the Jumping Corpse sprang over Bai Zhuo's head. In a moment of desperation, Bai Zhuo jumped as well, grabbing the Jumping Corpse's leg. The creature lost its balance, and seizing the opportunity, Bai Zhuo let go. The Jumping Corpse crashed to the ground with a loud thud, its straight arms striking the earth, producing a sound like metal clashing. It immediately bounced back up, leaving onlookers astonished. Although the Jumping Corpse's attack methods were quite simple, it was impervious to blades and possessed immense strength, easily leaping five or six meters in a single bound—far beyond what an ordinary person could match, leaving them as mere prey.
"Warriors of the battlefield, advance!" Bai Zhuo shouted as he thrust the Sword in Hand into the back of the Jumping Corpse's skull. The creature recoiled, its head sizzling and emitting wisps of blue smoke as a gash opened up, exposing bone.
In pain, the Jumping Corpse quickly turned and leaped in front of Bai Zhuo. Before Bai Zhuo could react, it pinned him down by the shoulder. The creature opened its foul mouth wide, revealing four sharp fangs, ready to bite into Bai Zhuo's neck. Fortunately, Bai Zhuo's left hand still held the Curse Seal; he struck at the Jumping Corpse's forehead, leaving an imprint that looked as if it had been burned by fire.
Bai Zhuo successfully drew the Jumping Corpse's attention. Enraged, it yanked its hard hands away and sent Bai Zhuo flying. He tumbled across the ground several times. "Cough! Cough..." Bai Zhuo spat out blood and fell to the ground.
Damn, is it really that fierce? Bai Zhuo shook his head and struggled to stand up. The Jumping Corpse caught the scent of blood and became unusually excited, charging at him.
"Illumination Technique - Exorcism Arrow—Exorcism Arrow!" From a distance, Bai Zhuo heard an annoying voice—Kagura Keiha.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Three arrows shot through the night air with white light aimed at the Jumping Corpse. Thud! Thud! Thud! The sound of arrows piercing flesh echoed as the previously invulnerable Jumping Corpse was struck through by three wooden arrows, neatly lined up along its spine. It let out a roar like a lion's cry and began to jump away in panic.
Kagura Keiha approached while Bai Zhuo remained on high alert. Kagura Keiha smiled wryly and said, "Bai Zhuo, we can still be friends!"
Bai Zhuo pressed his hand against his fiery chest and stood tall with a cold sneer. "Hmph! A Japanese dog without any principles!"
Kagura Keiha didn't take offense and replied, "I understand that due to historical issues, you Huaxia People have great prejudice against us Japanese. However, that doesn't prevent us from forming true friendship. I believe we can become friends; that's why I'm here to help you!"
"Hah... just a lackey. Where is your master Leng Xuanhe?"
Upon hearing this, Kagura Keiha frowned and said, "I'm not his lackey; I'm merely a temporary ally due to family needs. Someone who abandons their companion to flee alone isn't worthy of being my friend—just an ally."
"He ran away by himself? No wonder..." Bai Zhuo recalled Yang Liu, who had already left with Ge Shui Lian, and asked, "Isn't Leng Xuanhe the Young Master of the Yin-Yang Family—Leng Family? He should be a powerful Onmyoji, so why did he run away in fear?"
Kagura Keiha sneered, "Hmph... just an unskilled coward who seeks to preserve his life and retaliates at the slightest provocation. If I could, I wouldn't want to know him... but my family requires it, and I have no choice but to obey."
Bai Zhuo sat on a flowerbed nearby, coughed lightly, and mocked, "I didn't expect your Chinese to be quite good; you even used three idioms to describe him." However, Kagura Keiha did not catch the sarcasm and proudly replied, "My elder sister has always revered Chinese civilization. From studying it, I've absorbed a bit myself. By the way, Bai Zhuo, we are friends now, right?"
"Friends? There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Isn't that your saying? I can't think of what benefits I could bring you. Moreover... seeing your face makes me want to kill you; how could we be friends?"
Kagura Keiha laughed, "Hahaha... Bai Zhuo, you can't kill me. I admit you're a very special person, but in terms of strength, you're still far from my match!"
Indeed, if it weren't for Su Meiniang's rescue at the school gate earlier, I would have been done for by now. Bai Zhuo sighed and said, "So, what do you need me to do? My... 'friend'!" The last two words were squeezed out through gritted teeth.
"That's more like it, Bai Zhuo. I need your help... to subdue that Zombie controlled by someone else!"
"Hiss... your Zombie is being controlled by someone?" Bai Zhuo gasped. How deep is the water in this Ningcheng's Yin-Yang Realm?
Kagura Keiha replied, "Yes, Bai Zhuo, this Zombie is being controlled by someone else. The connection isn't deep, but with my power, I can eliminate it; however, I can't subdue or control it. To obtain it, I still need your strength." His tone carried a hint of pleading as he continued, "Of course, before that, I will pay you a benefit. I see that your offensive secret techniques are quite limited; I can offer you one of my family's secret arts as an initial payment. Once the task is completed, I'll give you another secret art. If you agree to this deal, then it will take effect immediately. I swear this in the name of Zhao Da Shen!"
