The corpse stiffened almost the instant it was hit by the Spirit Fiend Arrow, and its body stopped moving.

Its limited intelligence left it feeling dazed and confused after being shot.

He subconsciously touched the arrow stuck in his forehead and felt a sense of threat coming over him.

The corpse stood still, letting out angry roars.

It turned out that these seemingly weak humans had inflicted almost fatal damage on it?

It suddenly turned its head and stared intently at the direction of the arrow tower!

Just as it was about to take action, Ye Shubai and the others rushed forward and threw out the Demon-Binding Rope, which firmly bound the zombie!

They temporarily held the line for a moment.

But it was quickly corroded and broken again by the terrifying corpse demon.

However, it was only within that one breath.

Zhao Manjun completed a complex incantation, shaking a bell with her left hand. With the infusion of magical power, the bell finally produced a sound.

bite-

The calming and soothing bell rang, and the rigor mortis, which was about to retaliate, suddenly fell silent.

However, the next second it showed signs of restlessness.

Zhao Manjun didn't give it a chance to breathe. She raised her hand and cast out several talismans, which truly activated extremely intense talisman fire. Even in the rainy night, the temperature did not decrease in the slightest.

The talisman fire burned towards the corpse, crackling and popping, instantly incinerating a portion of the corpse's evil energy.

Then he took out a purple talisman and flew over to stick it on the zombie's forehead.

Despite the numerous methods employed, the rigor mortis continued to struggle violently, with the movements becoming increasingly intense.

However, it is now trapped.

Zhao Manjun stared indifferently at the corpse, took out five crimson gold coins, and suddenly threw them out!

The five crimson gold coins immediately formed a Yin-trapping magic array, firmly suppressing the struggles of the corpse.

"Auntie, the only Thunderwood Spirit Coffin has been destroyed. Should we still send this zombie back to town?"

Ye Shubai walked up to her and said.

Even though rigor mortis is currently being suppressed, it is only temporary.

Without the seal of the Thunderwood Spirit Coffin, it will eventually break free from the suppression of these Taoist temple artifacts, and it will still be a big problem.

"Put him in my jade carriage."

Zhao Manjun spoke in a calm tone.

"what?"

Ye Shubai was taken aback, and said cautiously, "That's your precious car, Auntie. Are you really willing to let a rigor mortis defile it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Manjun rolled her eyes and said, "The town mayor and the others specifically instructed me to send it back, saying that this rigor mortis is very important, and this is the only way now."

"They paid me such a high price, how could I possibly mess this up? Stop talking nonsense and get going."

Upon hearing this...

Without saying a word, Ye Shubai immediately prepared to pick up the corpse and put it into the carriage.

However, Shen Yi had already rushed over with his men at this moment.

"etc."

He looked at the spirit arrow stuck in the corpse's forehead and said, "Sir, I need to retrieve my arrow. Thank you for your trouble."

Upon hearing his words, Ye Shubai subconsciously stopped what he was doing and saw Shen Yi struggling to pull the Spirit Fiend Arrow out of the corpse's head.

"Hiss—this monster is truly made of bronze and iron; it's so hard to pull out."

Shen Yi complained as he held the arrow in his hand as if he had obtained a priceless treasure.

This is the first item he's ever upgraded to level 10!

However, level 9 is not level 10, but rather a promotion to another stage.

Shen Yi immediately saw the attributes of the Deep Black Arrow at this moment.

This arrow is no longer called the Deep Black Arrow, but the Spirit Fiend Arrow!

Its characteristic is "Shattered Spiritual Fiend", and its quality is green and rare.

Shen Yi's eyes lit up when he saw the description "probability to trigger a finishing move" after the attribute.

It can still be used to kill?

"We were able to bring this zombie back under control thanks to your arrow, young man."

Ye Shubai then quickly integrated the corpse into the carriage, turned around and praised him.

His gaze fell upon the Spirit Arrow, noticing its intricate and profound spiritual runes. He couldn't help but ask, "This arrow is quite extraordinary. Where did you obtain it?"

Shen Yi remained calm and smiled, "It's a family heirloom, and there's only one of its kind."

"If the situation hadn't been so urgent, I wouldn't have been willing to use this arrow to help."

"I see."

Having learned about the Spirit Fiend Arrow, Ye Shubai did not inquire further.

Not far away.

Zhao Manjun remained standing in the rain, arms crossed over her chest. She watched as the zombies entered the jade carriage, and all the corpse demons were immediately suppressed by the spiritual runes. Only then did she feel relieved and turn away without a word.

The rain started to lessen.

"Young man, I am Ye Shubai, a member of the Ye family of Jiangchuan Town."

"Shen Yi."

Hearing Ye Shubai finally speak his name, Shen Yi was surprised for a moment before replying.

I will compensate you for the damage caused to your territory today.

As he spoke, Ye Shubai looked at the various destructions caused in the territory by the escape of the zombies.

Two houses in the residential area were affected, and another house collapsed.

In addition, most of the pheasants that were originally kept in enclosures on one side also died due to the effects of rigor mortis, leaving a large area lying on the ground.

These pheasants were found in other people's homes in the village.

Although most of the pheasants died during the last wave of monsters, more than 800 pheasants still survived.

Wang Shaohui and the others were sent back to their territory.

Since Shen Yi's two chicken coops were full, he temporarily let these people take care of the chickens in this area.

Now, of the nearly one thousand pheasants, only seven or eight remain.

Moreover, they were all in a state of near death, and it seemed they wouldn't live much longer.

"Give."

Ye Shubai took off a cloth bag from his waist and threw it over.

Shen Yi caught it, opened it, and found it full of gold coins.

There are probably over a hundred of them.

"Don't be shy, it's all yours, take it." Ye Shubai said generously.

Shen Yi remained silent for a moment.

He doesn't need gold coins here!

However, he didn't say much, put away the gold coins, cupped his hands and said, "Then I, Shen, thank Brother Ye for his generosity."

Although we don't need it now, it will come in handy when we have the opportunity to do business with other villages and towns in the future.

After exchanging a few pleasantries...

Shen Yi then took his leave.

Upon learning that the rigor mortis had been subdued, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and hurried back to wipe themselves down and change into dry clothes.

inside the house.

Lu Yinghe looked aggrieved, her eyes red, and said to Zhao Manjun, "Uncle-Master, it was my fault this time, and I promise I won't do it again next time."

There won't be a next time.

Zhao Manjun looked at her and said coldly, "When you go back this time, you will return to the temple. I will inform your father that you will only be allowed to leave the temple when you have reached the second level."

"No! Uncle-Master! I really know I was wrong."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yinghe immediately became anxious.

"Brother Xiao is waiting for me to go back so we can take a boat trip on the river. I can't go back."

Zhao Manjun's expression flashed, "The eldest son of the Xiao family? How did you end up hanging out with him?"

"The Xiao family has always been at odds with our Five Clouds Temple, and they are suspected of having secret dealings with Mo Yanshan. Didn't you know?"

"I—this—"

Lu Yinghe realized she had let something slip, so she lowered her voice and said, "Brother Xiao is a very kind person, and even though he knows I'm a disciple of Wuyun Temple, he's still very good to me and often invites me out for fun—"

"In short, I felt very happy and comfortable when I was with him."

As she spoke, a fleeting emotion, one that even she herself was unaware of, flickered in her eyes.

Seeing Lu Yinghe's appearance, Zhao Manjun's tone became even colder, "You go back to the temple to reflect on your actions! You are not allowed to see anyone!"

"Uncle-Master————"

"go out."

Lu Yinghe looked extremely sad and had no choice but to turn and leave.

"This girl is too spoiled and naive; she'll suffer a great loss sooner or later."

Zhao Manjun opened her eyes and sighed.

She then suddenly remembered Shen Yi's behavior earlier and seemed to be deep in thought.

"That arrow is probably a magic weapon of a high level."

"This child's behavior is far too calm. If Lu Yinghe had half his composure, she wouldn't have had to send her back to the temple."

Zhao Manjun dried herself off and changed into dry clothes.

She didn't like bathing in unfamiliar places, so she decided to wait until she returned to Jiangchuan Town the next day.

"A wooden puppet cultivator, huh? I'll have to ask Elder Zhou about that when we get back."

The next morning arrived.

When Ye Shubai and the others got up, they saw that the villagers had already gotten up and were preparing to work.

"Brother Shen, we'll head back now. If you ever go to Jiangchuan Town, feel free to come find me at the Ye family."

Ye Shubai found Shen Yi and said goodbye.

Shen Yi is currently sending his wooden puppet soldiers to retrieve the evil spirits he killed last night.

It just so happened that the group of people walking by saw it.

Their eyes darted around.

The battle ended quickly last night, and they thought there weren't many evil spirits that came. However, now that they saw the corpses of evil spirits all over the ground, they realized that they had underestimated the village.

Looking over, there must be at least two or three hundred corpses of evil spirits lying on the ground.

In fact, many of them had already been picked up and put back inside by Shen Yi.

"I will remember this. If I have the opportunity to visit Jiangchuan Town in the future, I will definitely pay him a visit."

Shen Yi agreed.

At that moment, Zhao Manjun's voice came from inside the carriage.

"The evil resentment crystals within the evil spirits possess extremely strong resentment. If ordinary martial artists frequently come into contact with these evil resentment crystals, they may suffer from a decline in their qi and blood, or even die from mental derangement."

"This is not something ordinary people can access. We should get rid of it as soon as possible. If you are interested, I will help you find a suitable buyer for this batch of evil resentment crystals in town."

Shen Yi was somewhat surprised that the other person would take the initiative to talk to him.

He thought for a moment and then politely declined, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, but we will handle this batch of evil resentment crystals ourselves, so there's no need for you to trouble yourself."

Then, Zhao Manjun casually uttered two words: "Whatever you say."

After a brief farewell, Ye Shubai and his group set off and left Heishan Village.

Seeing them walk away, Shen Yi finally mustered his courage. He remembered Zhao Manjun's words and decided not to let his younger brother Shen Kun and the others deal with the corpse of the evil spirit.

Instead, he ordered the wooden puppet soldiers to slice open the corpse of the evil spirit piece by piece!

After the evil spirit was chopped into several pieces, a black crystal the size of a fingernail finally fell down.

Shen Yi immediately began collecting them!

Immediately, he plunged into the "core of folklore" without hesitation, unlocking the relevant blueprints related to evil spirits!

You have obtained a folk crafting blueprint: [Mask of Resentment]!

[Drawing Name: Mask of Resentment]

[Purpose Description: Includes the white-colored "Confusion" attribute, which can induce a confused state in the user, rendering them unable to recognize themselves.]

【Materials required for crafting: 2 Vengeful Crystals】

This thing is for someone else, right?

Shen Yi's lips twitched.

It seems he's not some kind of lucky person who can unlock useful things so quickly.

then.

Every time the wooden puppet soldier cut out a crystal of evil resentment, Shen Yi would immediately put it into the "Core of Folklore" to unlock a new creation blueprint.

After trying to unlock it twenty-three more times.

at last.

This showed Shen Yi a usable blueprint for a creation.

[You have obtained a folk craft blueprint: the Resentment Necklace!]

[Blueprint Name: Resentment Necklace]

[Use Description: Comes with the white trait "Resentment," which can slightly affect the mind of others.]

【Materials required for crafting: 100 Vengeful Crystals】

Shen Yi stopped what he was doing.

Examining the attributes of the Resentment Necklace, this thing is quite interesting.

It is the most noble spiritual killing move!

I just don't know what kind of influence it is.

After working for a long time, Shen Yi finally collected all the Evil Resentment Crystals.

Excluding the Evil Crystals that he has consumed, his current collection shows a total of 314 Evil Crystals!

More than three hundred evil spirits came yesterday.

If it were Yanling Village, facing three hundred evil spirits would probably be very difficult.

But the evil spirits set their sights on his territory and ran right into a steel plate.

Shen Kun and his group went to collect the lantern ghosts they had killed the previous night and retrieved the Yin Soul Wood.

After collection, only 1102 roots were found.

The number of lantern ghosts continues to decrease day by day, with no sign of recovery.

Back in the territory.

Everyone got busy.

Someone is repairing the facilities that were damaged in the territory yesterday.

Some people went to continue digging the pond.

Some people went to water the vegetable garden.

Everything proceeded smoothly.

Only seven of Ye Shubai's guards died last night; the people in their territory were not injured or killed because they had already hidden themselves.

At this time.

Wang Shaohui, Cao Minghui, and their son Wang Shuo walked quickly to Shen Yi.

Many people turned their attention to this scene.

"Thank you, village chief, for saving our family. If you hadn't asked the people in town for help, the three of us would probably have been gone yesterday—"

Cao Minghui and Wang Shaohui were still somewhat conscious at the time, and knew that they had only been rescued yesterday if the village chief hadn't asked someone to help them.

With tears of emotion streaming down their faces, they choked out, "Village Chief, if there's anything you need us to do in the future, just let us know, and we'll do it even if it means our lives!"

"It's good that you're alright. If there are any problems, please tell us as soon as possible, don't wait until something bad happens."

"Yes, village chief, we will definitely be careful."

"Alright, let your family rest well today. I'll assign the tasks to others."

Shen Yi smiled, offered a few words of comfort, and then turned and left.

Watching his receding figure.

Cao Minghui recalled that when Shen Yi and his siblings were in trouble, her family hadn't offered any help.

Instead, it was Shen Yi who saved their family.

She couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.

"A-Shuo, you must work hard under the village chief from now on to repay his kindness," she earnestly instructed her son, Wang Shuo.

Wang Shuo nodded vigorously, "Mother, I understand."
