ROOT

CHAPTER 301 - STRANGE SHADOW

The zombie looked clumsy, but it wasn't slow at all, and it seemed like it wanted to keep a distance from us, no matter if I was walking faster or slower.

He was about five meters away from me.

Not long after he left, I heard the rustling of leaves behind me, as if there was a strong wind blowing through the forest. In such an environment, it was natural for me to think of something unclean chasing after us.

Master, do you feel that something is wrong? Yi Bufeng lightly patted my shoulder. He probably heard these sounds too, and his tone sounded a little nervous.

Although Yi Bufeng came from a family of talismans, in the end, he was still a young boy that had just started out. After encountering such a strange thing, he was somewhat afraid in his heart.

I encouraged him to say that he was in our line of work, and you mustn't be afraid of these things, and concentrate on whatever you hear or see, and don't look back. The more he feared and feared, the more trouble he would cause.

Yi Bufeng patted my shoulder again, Master, I understand all that you've said. I'm not afraid. I just want to ask you, do you have any idea if there's something wrong with your body?

I was stunned for a moment. What did he mean? I was about to turn around when Yi Bufeng immediately said, Master, don't look back. Just look at the ground.

I was a little doubtful, but when I heard what Yi Bufeng said, I carefully looked at the ground. It was very dark, and on the dark ground, I could vaguely see something swaying.

It was like a shadow being blown about by the wind. I thought it was the shadow of a leaf, but on closer inspection, it had a head and a body. It was clearly the shadow of a person.

I immediately felt a chill. If it was just a figure, wouldn't that mean that there was a person shaking his head by my side?

This shadow obviously wasn't left between Yi Bufan and me. The only one left behind was Hall Master Mo, who was on my back.

However, while he was on my back, I didn't feel any movement from his body. Furthermore, with Yi Bufeng's reminder, I realised that Hall Master Mo hadn't spoken for a long time.

Pavilion Master Mo, can you hear my words? I asked in a low voice.

Hall Master Mo didn't reply. Seemingly unconscious, I asked a few more times, but still didn't hear a single sound.

Master, you saw it right? Actually, that shadow isn't Hall Master Mo's. Yi Bufeng said in a low voice, appearing to be very careful with his words.

This shadow isn't Hall Master Mo's. Could it be that there's a fourth person here? I looked up at the top of my head.

Master, I just said it directly, don't be afraid, this shadow is actually yours.

What? This shadow is mine, that's impossible.

This was the thought that popped into my mind when I heard Yi Fangfeng's words.

I didn't lie to you, I looked at you closely from behind for a long time, I even thought you were possessed by a ghost, so I patted your shoulders twice. Luckily, your body isn't cold, you should be the True Stone Grandmaster that I know, but this shadow really did grow from under your feet.

Yi Bufeng's tone of voice didn't sound like he was lying to me. My heart was filled with bewilderment, my shadow was actually shaking on its own. This was truly inconceivable. Could it be that my shadow had come alive and was going to break away from my main body?

I looked at the ground again and my mouth moved up and down. The blurry shadow on the ground also moved up and down.

I lifted my right hand again, and the shadow on the ground followed suit, moving almost exactly as I did. The only thing that didn't move was that it kept moving left and right.

Don't stop... Hurry up and leave." The zombie in front of me suddenly shouted at me. His voice was broken, but I could hear the urgency in his voice.

Although my shadow was extremely strange, I didn't feel any danger at the moment. I temporarily put this matter aside and followed Uncle Zombie as he continued to run forward.

The forest was not very large, and after running for almost an hour, the front part of the forest suddenly opened up. There were a few green cypress trees growing at the edge of the forest, and through them I saw a glimmer of light, like the faint glow of dawn.

Is it dawn?

This thought flashed through my mind, but after thinking about it for a while, I felt that it was impossible. I guessed that it was about the right time, at most a little after midnight.

To make sure of the time, I asked Yi Bufeng what time it was.

It's half past one in the morning. He spoke so quickly that he must have seen the light, and had the same confused thought as I, and looked at the clock ahead of time.

Master, you are experienced and knowledgeable, what do you think is going on here? Yi Bufeng pointed at the hazy light and asked seriously.

I smiled wryly in my heart. How could I know why? Perhaps, only Uncle Zombie, who brought us along, knows why.

Unable to answer Yi's question, I gave him a look and told him to ask Uncle Zombie. However, when I looked over, Uncle Zombie suddenly stopped and raised his hand mechanically, signaling us to stop.

Uncle Zombie stared fixedly into the distance, his body occasionally trembling as if he was thinking about something.

I think something bad is going to happen. Sure enough, I soon saw thick clouds of white smoke rising from the woods around me.

Wherever the smoke passed by, the surrounding grass and mud were instantly swallowed up by the white light. It was as if the plants had vanished into thin air.

While I was looking at my surroundings in confusion, I suddenly heard Yi Bufeng loudly shout. I immediately turned my head to look at him. His face was pale as if he was frightened by something.

I hastily asked, Yi Bufeng, what happened to you?

Yi Bufeng breathed rapidly like a frightened little girl, and stammered, Master, I … I saw your shadow on the ground just now suddenly turn into the appearance of a woman. She … She's still waving at me. "

After Yi Fangfeng said this, I was scared to the point that I started trembling, and a chill went down my spine.

My shadow has changed to a woman's appearance, I am not mistaken.

My first thought was that I had been possessed by a ghost, but it was quickly rejected by me. I was the nemesis of ghosts. If there really was a ghost approaching me, I couldn't possibly not feel it.

Following that, the image of a woman appeared in my mind. In my mind, two women immediately appeared. One was Liu Xian`er, and the other was the Miss that Sun Jian had mentioned.

During this time, only the two of them were the only women that had directly or indirectly interacted with me.

Furthermore, in terms of strength, they are the only ones who can do something to me without anyone noticing.

CHAPTER 302 - QUAGMIRE

What did the outline of Yi's shadow look like?

He said that the woman had her hair loose and had a oval face, loose clothes, and a lot of ribbons floating in the air.

I frowned. From his description, this woman looked pretty much the same as Liu Xian'er, but the only thing that didn't change was that Liu Xian'er's hair wasn't disheveled.

The white fog around us was getting closer and closer to us. A formless pressure was coming from all directions, and now with my strange shadow, I was getting more and more uneasy.

I really hate such feelings. I would rather meet them directly. They are two extremely terrifying monsters. Fighting against one of them is better than fighting with fear and trepidation.

At this time, Uncle Zombie seemed to have understood something and shouted at us. He then tried to reverse the situation and told us to follow him.

We immediately caught up. Due to the fog, Uncle Zombie didn't keep a large distance from us like before. He seemed to be afraid that we would lose him, so he maintained a distance of around a meter away from us.

Judging from his back, there was a lot of mud on his clothes, and there was also a rotten stench. The smell was not small, and it was very suffocating. There were many scratches on his back like a beast's claws had been torn.

I wondered, if this uncle only transformed into this zombie after he died, then the time he died shouldn't be too long ago.

Who was this person?

The fog shrouded us, making it difficult to see the road under our feet. I could only feel the road start to turn muddy as we walked, Yi Bufeng and I struggled forward until we finally stepped on it. The soft mud directly sank into our kneecaps.

I looked around and saw that we had simply arrived at a swamp. Following this direction, I estimated that Yi Fangfeng and I would soon sink deep into the mud.

I was a little worried, so I whispered to Uncle Zombie, This road doesn't seem to be clear. Senior, where are you bringing us to?

Uncle Zombie's intermittent voice came out, Don't ask so much... Wishing to live … Then... Follow me.

This person doesn't seem to want to harm us. I thought about it, and still felt like I should follow him for a while.

After walking for another ten minutes, the mud had already reached my waist. Yi Bufeng and I really couldn't move an inch, but Uncle Zombie still urged us to hurry up and leave.

We were almost unable to move our legs, and I was carrying a person on my back, so we couldn't do anything in this kind of quagmire.

That Uncle Zombie seemed to have also sensed that we were stuck in the quagmire and couldn't help grumbling, It's so useless, we couldn't even get through such a small swamp.

Although he complained, he still turned around and pulled us two. Upon closer inspection, this person had grey hair at his temples and a face full of deep wrinkles. He was an old man with crane hair.

However, his face was deathly pale, as if he had a face of death. There were many brown corpse marks on his face, and this person was already dead. He didn't know why, but he had turned into a zombie.

And it was a zombie with a consciousness of its own.

You are... The yellow of the coffin path …" When Yi Bufeng saw this person's face, he suddenly pointed at him in surprise. Just as he was about to say his name, this uncle zombie covered his mouth.

Don't spout nonsense! Uncle Zombie, or should I call you 'Mister Zombie'? Shi Yan asked Yi Fangfeng with a serious face. Yi Fangfeng immediately shut his mouth.

In my eyes, Yi Bufeng clearly recognized the person in front of me, and he even said the word 'yellow'. He was most likely one of the older generation members of the Huang Clan of the Coffin Dao Sect.

The zombie grandpa's strength was not small. With two hands grabbing us, he easily pulled us out. With a light toss, we both flew out like badminton balls.

Crash! The moment I fell to the ground, I saw muddy water below me. Yi Bufeng, Pavilion Master Mo and I immediately sunk into the muddy water, our bodies covered in sticky mud.

Moreover, when I smelled this muddy water, it was extremely rotten. I thought of the smell on grandpa Zombie and the muddy water. Compared to before he came, I had soaked in this muddy water before.

At this time, Yi Fangfeng slapped me again and said in a trembling voice, Master, quickly take a look!

Hearing that, I immediately looked towards my shadow, thinking that my shadow was abnormal again. However, Yi Bufeng said, Master, you're mistaken. Your shadow is still there. I'm not asking you to look at it, but that one.

I raised my head blankly and looked in the direction of Yi Bufeng's finger. On the surface of the muddy water in front of me, there was a corpse that had already begun to rot.

The man died miserably, with several holes in his body and one missing arm. He died miserably, looking at me with a chill in his heart.

Master, look, there's more on your right. There's also a corpse there as well.

This was the first time in Yi Fangfeng's life that he had seen so many dead people. He could see the extreme fear on their faces and could not stop talking about how they were all dead.

I couldn't help but to suck in a breath of cold air. This is just a corpse floating on the surface, the smell of the dead is incomparably heavy. I reckon that the corpses that died here definitely weren't as many as we saw on the surface.

Stop looking, hold your breath and dive underwater. Mister Zombie rushed over to our place and gave us a simple sentence. Then, he pressed down on my shoulders and used all his strength to push down on the muddy water.

Yi Fangfeng and I didn't resist. We covered our noses and mouths and dove into the water as usual.

This person has a lot of strength. Even though we have the intention to resist, under his strength, we were able to sink into the quagmire almost instantly.

I was worried for Pavilion Master Mo's safety and wanted to keep him away from him. However, grandpa Zombie seemed to have predicted my worry and solemnly said, He'll be fine.

For some reason, the moment he said that, the worry in my heart vanished like smoke into thin air. I tightly shut my eyes and tightly clutched my mouth and nose as I hid underwater.

Very soon, he heard waves of 'Sasha' sounds coming from his surroundings.

It was like a group of wild ducks flapping their wings in the muddy water.

The thing above the water hovered around us for a long time, and then it was gone, and there was no more sound. The zombie grandpa slowly stuck his head out to take a look, but it was still pressing down on us, preventing us from acting rashly.

It took another half a minute before he was able to fish us out of the muddy water. Fortunately, we weren't ordinary people, otherwise who would have been able to stay in such an environment for so long.

I ruthlessly wiped my face, wanting to wipe off the mud on my face. However, grandpa Zombie stopped me by simply wiping away the mud on my eyes.

He said, Try not to get rid of this muddy water before daybreak.

I nodded my head and immediately went to look for Hall Master Mo. After searching for a while, I realized that he was already a few meters away from his original location, entwined with a few corpses.

I quickly grabbed him, but all I saw was black handprints on his clothes and face.

CHAPTER 303 - MASTER HUANG

The handprints on Pavilion Master Mo's body felt as though someone had ruthlessly pinched his body.

I immediately put my hand on his nose and felt a breath of air. I was greatly relieved.

Senior, what was that thing on the water just now? Yi Buyi asked in shock as he breathed heavily with his mouth wide open.

The zombie grandpa carried Hall Master Mo away from me, This place isn't... The place where they were talking, was now a different place … Where... Say something.

At this moment, the white fog in the surroundings had disappeared. The zombie master once again jumped up into the air. Yi Bufeng and I quickly followed suit.

He led us ashore from the quagmire, but not too far, around a small mound, and ahead of us was a small tent made of branches.

Moreover, we were surrounded by rotten mud. The zombie leader led us into the tent, but the inside of the tent was empty. In the middle of the tent was a red coffin box.

Judging from the material, the coffin box was not made of jade and seemed to be made from ordinary trees. There were no enigmatic carvings of the scriptures, but there was a dragon shaped totem tattooed on it. The totem was not lifelike; it was just a simple outline. It was clear that it was a dragon.

Although it looked simple, the moment I saw it, I felt that this coffin had a terrifying aura.

I originally thought that the jade blood spirit coffin I snatched was a top tier coffin box, but after seeing this coffin box, I knew that the coffin box on my back would be completely overshadowed by it.

The zombie grandpa put Hall Master Mo aside. His body was stiff, and it took a lot of effort before he could sit down.

Then, he looked at me, There aren't many disciples that can control the Blood Spirit Coffin, so I know everyone. However, I've never seen you before. Who are you, and why are you using my Blood Spirit Coffin?

As they approached the dragon totem's blood spirit coffin, the zombie grandpa's words became even sharper.

Yi Bufeng immediately helped me and said, Sect Head Huang, this is Master True Stone. The reason why he was able to control the Blood Spirit Coffin was because of the kindness that Hall Master Mo had shown him.

Sect Head Huang, I thought, he is Sect Head Huang of the Coffin Dao Sect, how did he end up like this?

However, Sect Head Huang didn't pay any attention to Yi Bufeng. He continued to look at me coldly. I know that he knows that the words he just exchanged are fake.

Since the other party knows that this is a lie, there is no need for me to continue making up lies.

He directly said, I'm here for Huang Qian Yuan.

When he heard the two words, 'Huang Qian Yuan', Sect Head Huang trembled in fear. He stared at me in a daze. After a long time, he chuckled. That smile seemed to be helpless, but it also seemed to be mocking himself.

I didn't expect you to be here for him. You really are looking for retribution. After a long sigh, Master Huang asked me, Are you his descendant or his descendant?

I thought about it for a moment. My master was treated like a thief and was forced to leave the coffin clan. This Master Huang must have had some enmity towards my master back then.

If I were to directly admit that he is his disciple, I'm afraid that it would be detrimental to me. Moreover, recently someone from the path of the coffin had claimed that I had a Divine Marrow within me. If I admit to it, then it might be possible for me to know that I am Huang Qianyuan's disciple.

I smiled and shook my head, No, I'm a monk. I'm Huang Qianyuan's friend.

This Sect Leader Huang stared at me suspiciously for a while before suddenly chuckling. I didn't know why he was laughing, perhaps he had already guessed that I was lying but he didn't point it out.

He then asked, Come to my coffin, what are you planning to do?

I'm here for the Sage Sealing Ceremony, and I also want to know, who among Huang Wuya and Mo Chong can become the new Holy Lord?

Sect Head Huang's face darkened as he gently caressed the coffin before speaking coldly, Neither of them could have become a Saint Lord.

Why do you say that? Yi Wufeng interjected.

Master Huang closed his eyes with a pained expression on his face. Finally, he shook his head and said bitterly, They are all dead!

Yi Bufeng and I were both shocked to see that in each other's eyes.

The two most famous geniuses of the Coffin Dao actually died. This was undoubtedly the most painful blow to the next generation of the Coffin Dao.

It was no wonder that Sect Head Huang had such a solemn and sorrowful expression. I suddenly recalled the words that Pavilion Master Mo had told me at the Crossing Mountain that I should hurry back to the coffin path.

From the looks of it, disaster had arrived long ago.

I immediately asked, Is the person who killed them Huang Lingtian?

Master Huang's eyes suddenly flashed as he looked at me with incomparable shock. He even addressed me differently, Master, where did you come from? How did you do this to him?

From Ferry Hill. I said it very straightforwardly without hiding anything. I want to make sure that Sect Leader Huang trusts me.

After I finished speaking, an unusual expression flashed across Sect Head Huang's face, as if he saw hope.

Excited, she shouted: ferry-crossing! That's right, this bastard had become extremely strange ever since he returned from the Cross Mountains. He claimed that he was a messenger of God and even said that he destroyed the Heavenly Dao freely while the Lord was in chaos. Our Huang Clan is also known as the Coffin Dao Buddha Sect. Since he slandered Lord Tathagata Buddha in such a manner, I naturally have to teach him a lesson. The result is … aiya …"

At this point, a sliver of fear flashed across Sect Head Huang's eyes. It was as if he had thought of something terrifying and was unable to say it out loud.

After a long while, he said, That night, there was also such a fog that shrouded the entire courtyard. As I was reprimanding Huang Lingtian in my study, there was suddenly a commotion coming from outside. It was so chaotic that it was like there was a fire.

I immediately looked outside, but when I opened the door to my room, I saw a huge dog head peeking out from the rooftop, fiercely staring at me. This evil dog is too big, and the most unbelievable thing is that its entire body is covered with tentacles.

Then why are you alive again? Yi Bufeng pointed at Sect Head Huang and asked.

This is the secret technique of my Coffin faction, only a few people would know how to use it. After I die, I will seal my soul and protect my mind, using the method of raising corpses to turn myself into a zombie. Unfortunately, I am not with the Blood Spirit Coffin, otherwise, I would have become a zombie, not a zombie.

I was surprised and suddenly thought of my master. When he accidentally died, he must have relied on this technique to become a corpse puppet.

What surprised me the most was that Master Huang mentioned the dog that was full of tentacles. It must have been that terrifying dog that we saw in that courtyard in the ferry-hill.

Who would have thought that he would actually become Huang Lingtian's subordinate and follow him all the way here.

If that was the case, in that quagmire earlier, it must have been the dog.

I cursed silently in my heart. The things at the Crossing Mountain are really lingering around like ghosts. Against some ancient beasts, I didn't have the slightest bit of confidence. This time, it would be quite troublesome.

CHAPTER 304 - WEIRD HUANG CLAN

Sect Head Huang's real name was Huang Qianyin, and he was of the same generation as my master. After he was killed by the big black dog, he was thrown into the mud with the other members of the Huang Clan.

Not long after he climbed out of the quagmire, the first thing he thought of was to go to the Coffin Dao Mo Clan and tell them that the Huang Clan had been exterminated. The enemy was too strong, he wanted them to bring their disciples away from this place as soon as possible.

The Mo Clan and the Huang Clan had always been at odds with each other, so the two sects' residences were rather far apart. Huang Qianyin thought that he could inform them in advance, but when he arrived at the encampment, he was surprised to find that Sect Head Mo and a person who looked exactly like him were chatting and laughing.

In addition, he discovered that his clansmen who had originally been dead seemed to have come back to life. They were all gathered in the land of Mo Zong.

They originally thought that the Mo Clan wouldn't be able to escape death either.

However, the fake Sect Head Huang didn't try to kill the Mo Clan. The entire night was filled with happiness.

Huang Qian Yuan couldn't figure it out. What he knew of Sect Head Mo was that he was a scheming person. This person was careful when doing things, was good at observing words and expressions, and had the title of coffin man, Zhuge.

Furthermore, after a lifetime of interaction with Huang Qianyin, it could be said that he was both a friend and an enemy. In the entire coffin, the person who knew Huang Qianyin the best was Sect Head Mo.

There was no reason for him to not see that it was a fake Huang Qianyin.

Looking at this group of fake clansmen and thinking about how they were being thrown into the quagmire, Huang Qianyin felt as if a knife was stabbing into his heart.

That night, he did not go look for Hall Master Mo but directly captured the fake butler Huang. He wanted to know what exactly Huang Lingtian wanted to do after killing so many people and finding someone to pretend to be them.

However, what surprised Huang Qianyin was that the butler's appearance, voice, memory, and habitual movements were all exactly the same as the butler from before.

Huang Qianyin searched the housekeeper's body again, but there wasn't a single trace of a disguise. Even the scar on the butler's neck was very real.

At that moment, Huang Qianyin was completely stupefied. He even felt that the butler did not die, but was bewitched by some evil technique and obeyed Huang Lingtian.

He grabbed him and returned to the quagmire. However, he saw the corpse of the butler floating above the quagmire. There were a few flying beasts on his body, and they were currently eating his flesh. The air was filled with the thick smell of blood.

Huang Qianyin was so scared that his forehead was covered in sweat. He forcefully suppressed the fear in his heart and sternly asked the butler beside him, Just what are you?

However, this butler arrogantly said, You zombie, you actually dared to capture my coffin disciple. I'm afraid you've forgotten what we do. When my master arrives, you will undoubtedly die.

The butler referred to himself as a member of the Huang Family, but he could not find anything out of place. No matter how hard Huang Qianyin tried to force him, he was certain that he was the butler of the Huang Family.

Huang Qianyin immediately made up her mind and broke the man's neck. She wanted to see what the head of the Huang family would do now that the butler had died.

However, on the second day, Huang Qianyin stealthily approached the Huang Clan Manor and discovered that there was another housekeeper that looked exactly the same.

The steward opened the door early in the morning, just like before. He called for the servants to help with the daily arrangements of Master Huang.

Just when Huang Qianyin thought that he had killed a butler without causing even the slightest ripple, that night, a thick layer of fog rose up from the quagmire. Huang Qianyin knew that Huang Lingtian had come to find him, and on the way, he accidentally discovered that the mud in the quagmire could conceal his presence and hide from the pursuit of the big black dog.

So, in the following days, he kept on hiding there, observing the movements of the coffin man.

At this point, Huang Qianyin suddenly paused and turned to look at the unconscious Hall Master Mo lying on the floor. I thought to myself, the next few matters probably have something to do with Hall Master Mo.

Two days ago, a van stopped at the branch office of our Huang Family, which is the farmhouse where you rested.

I was shocked. This was most likely Sun Jian's doing.

When Pavilion Master Mo was lying on the ground, he was still wearing a white robe inlaid with jade. He was still unconscious, but the strange thing is, ever since he laid at the entrance, this farmhouse had not opened for an entire day. Even when I saw someone walk out from inside, when they saw Pavilion Master Mo, they acted as if they were frightened by something and immediately turned around to hide.

The cassocks, they're afraid of the Buddhist people? Yi Bufeng asked in surprise, then asked what was going on.

Later that night, a large group of people drove in. The one leading them was the fake Sect Head Huang. They surrounded Pavilion Master Mo, so I couldn't see what they were doing. I could only hear waves of screams.

This went on for an hour. Pavilion Master Mo's cassock was taken off and he was brought into the farmhouse. After that, it was noon yesterday. I saw Pavilion Master Mo being picked up by a car and followed him all the way. They circled around Wuliu Service Station before coming back to the station weirdly. That was when I noticed you.

There's no need to talk about the rest of the matters. From Huang Qianyin's words, it seemed like hall master Mo's caravan was luring us to this place on purpose.

But why?

Lin Zi let out a scream not too long ago. Who was it? Yi Fangfeng asked as he thought about it.

That's Mo Chong's. Huang Qianyin directly said, After he was chased away by this master, he was dragged into the woods by several dozen pairs of hands. I had no time to save him.

Huang Qianyin sighed as he was dragged into the woods by dozens of hands. This was naturally the doing of that vicious dog. If Mo Chong rushed into that dog's mouth, there was no way he could survive.

As Huang Qianyin was speaking, the Blood Spirit Coffin that was erected on the ground suddenly trembled, as if it was reminding us of something.

Not good, that monster is nearby. Huang Qianyin spoke with a deep voice. She pointed her finger at the coffin and opened it. A gentle breeze came out from the coffin and floated around like a thread.

Everyone, face to the ground and hold your breath. I have used my unique skill of coffin cultivation, coffin hiding, temporarily hiding our presence. As long as we don't make any noise, this big dog will not be able to discover us.

We immediately fell silent and did as we were told. Not long after, a rustling sound could be heard from outside the tent, as if countless feet were knocking chaotically on the ground.

Even though I was nervous, I was still a little doubtful. I had seen that big black dog before, if it really was here, then the sound of its footsteps wouldn't be like this.

At this moment, an image appeared in my mind. The black dog relied on its tentacles to crawl around like a centipede.

CHAPTER 305 - THE DOG CHASES

At first, we could still hear each other panting, but we could feel everyone trying to restrain themselves as the rustling sounds outside grew closer and closer to us. Soon our breathing stopped completely.

After another two minutes or so, the sound from outside was so close to us that I could feel the black dog glaring at us from nearby.

All of a sudden, I heard a muffled bang, as if something had hit our tent hard.

Following that, there was a piercing sound from the top of his head as an arm-thick tree trunk cut into the top of the tent.

Yi Bufeng and I were about to dodge, but Huang Qianyin held us down. In that instant, the trunk of the tree was three centimeters away from our foreheads.

It was close. Huang Qianyin couldn't help but admire his observation skills. In such a short period of time, he was able to determine that this tree trunk could not hurt us.

At this moment, I looked through the hole in the tent. There were countless tentacles hanging on the treetops of the jungle. It was indeed the big black dog, but it had retracted all of its limbs. No wonder I couldn't hear him walk.

The surroundings were still shrouded in white fog. Looking at the white fog, I suddenly thought of the white fog that we met at Wuliu Service Station. Where did I meet Boss Gao?

From this, it could be seen that the people or animals that escaped from the tomb could not walk in the human world. They needed the protection of this white fog to be able to move freely.

I even guessed that although this big black dog is powerful, it cannot use its feet to stomp on the ground. Otherwise, it would be in violation of some kind of restriction.

For a moment, I thought of that time when I met Boss Gao at Wuliu Liu service station. When Yi Bufeng had introduced me as a monk from Flowerleaf Temple, Boss Gao had said something, If Flowerleaf Temple doesn't keep their promise, then how dare they send people out of the temple. If you don't keep your reputation, then we won't show mercy either.

Then, if this big black dog couldn't step on the ground, was it related to the Flower Leaf Temple?

I wondered. The big black dog above my head was moving away, and our tense expressions relaxed.

However, no one expected that at this moment, the unconscious Hall Master Mo would immediately jump up from the ground. Like a mad dog, he let out a resounding roar and charged towards Huang Qianyin's Blood Spirit Coffin with his head held high.

We were caught off guard, but Huang Qianyin reacted a step faster than us and kicked at Pavilion Master Mo's chest. A dull thud could be heard, and Hall Master Mo was sent flying backward.

Pavilion Master Mo! I cried out, and with my mind on his safety, I rushed out to save him.

Don't go out. I was too careless. There's something wrong with Hall Master Mo. Huang Qianyin immediately stopped me and pulled me back.

Pavilion Master Mo, could he be … My mind went blank, and I immediately realized that he was just like the butler Huang Qianyin had mentioned.

Huang Qianyin seemed to have guessed what I was thinking and said, Don't worry, Hall Master Mo isn't like that. I guess it's because of the black handprints on his body that he suddenly attacked us like a dog.

Master, Sect Head Huang, don't talk about Hall Master Mo first, that big black dog is back.

Yi Bufeng's face turned green as he looked in the direction where his trembling finger was pointing. That big black dog was like a black centipede, quickly chasing after us while stepping on the treetops.

Huang Qianyin grabbed my hand and at the same time handed me a black jade token, Since you are a friend of Huang Qianyuan, then please bring this jade token with you and leave this place alive. If you have the chance to meet him, give this jade token to him. Now that the Coffin Dao has met with such a calamity, I hope that he can use his identity as the Coffin Dao Sacred Master to return to the Sacred Grounds and retrieve the Heavenly Soul Nail, in order to restore the might of my coffin.

With that, Huang Qianyin rushed out with his blood spirit coffin. The big black dog that had rushed out of the coffin let out a loud bellow and turned around to give chase.

Master, should we help Sect Master Huang or not betray his intentions and escape? Yi Feifeng didn't run away immediately. He even had the heart to help Master Huang.

I admire this decision of loyalty, and the courage of others.

In my heart, I couldn't let Hall Master Mo go, so I decided not to leave. Yi Bufeng, you're not a cultivator of the Way of the Coffin. You shouldn't be involved in this. You should leave now. I need to find Pavilion Master Mo.

Just as I said those words, my body couldn't help but move. What's going on?

I suddenly started running. Yi Bufeng immediately chased after me. Master, it's your shadow. Look.

Hearing that, I immediately lowered my head to look. The shadow beneath my feet was swaying extremely vigorously. It was just as Yi Bufeng had said. The outline of the shadow was similar to that of a woman.

Evil Repellent Spell, disperse! I immediately cast an exorcism spell on myself, but it didn't dispel the shadow. It kept me running.

Master, this shadow is controlling you to escape. It doesn't seem to want you to stay here. It has no ill intentions towards you.

Just as Yi Bufeng finished his sentence, I suddenly heard a loud barking sound from above me. Lifting my head, I saw the big black dog dashing towards us.

How could that be? My scalp tingled. Could Huang Qianyin have been killed? Otherwise, how could this big black dog turn around and chase after us so quickly?

Shua, shua, shua. The tentacles that were flying in the sky suddenly shot over like countless crossbow bolts. Just as they were about to reach us, I subconsciously sent out a raging flame.

The flames were like a sword as both of his hands slashed through the air. The incoming tentacles were cut into several pieces by my fire sword and scattered into the air.

Fortunately, the shadow only controlled my legs, not my hands.

At this moment, it seemed to me that the shadow knew that the dog was going to chase me and had taken me with it in order to escape.

The big dog had its tentacles cut off by me, so its roar shook the sky. Countless hands immediately grabbed at the trees and rocks on the ground, before ferociously smashing towards us.

We tried our best to dodge left and right, but soon enough, numerous falling stones rained down on us from the sky. Even though …

My body is tough and I have a fire sword that I can defend against.

However, Yi Bufeng was injured in the first place. After running for a while, he appeared to be lacking in strength. When he saw the sky full of boulders coming at him, he panicked and was unable to clearly see the path beneath his feet, but was stopped by a tree on the ground and was sent flying.

Easier said than done! I shouted loudly. When the black dog in the sky saw this scene, it shouted excitedly. A few of its tentacles immediately reached out to grab him.

My speed was very fast. In the instant that Yi Wufeng fell down, I was already six to seven meters away from him. Even if I were to run back now, I wouldn't be fast enough to catch up with the big black dog's tentacles.

Besides, my legs and legs were controlled by the shadows, and I hadn't stopped moving at all.

Grandmaster, please don't worry about me. Hurry up and leave. At this critical moment of life and death, Yi Fangfeng actually didn't beg me to save him like last time.

My heart is burning with anxiety. Can I only watch him die in the mouth of a dog?

CHAPTER 306 - BOUNTY ON XUESHAN

All of a sudden, I stopped running. The shadow underneath me suddenly spins as if I have stood up from the ground. It appears as though I have appeared beside Yi Bufeng with lightning speed.

In that instant, it was as if I saw the figure of a gorgeous woman. After thinking about it carefully, my mind jolted.

If I'm not wrong, the moment this woman's figure stands up, she looks exactly like the black shadow I saw in the courtyard of the ferrets mountain.

QiuXi Hong told me that this shadow was the remnant soul of the Great Fox Demon, Luo Shuang. I didn't expect her to appear here.

Why didn't I notice her beside me?

The shadow quickly wrapped itself around Yi Bufeng's body. He instantly sprung up from the ground, and a spinning wind blade flew out from his body and cut the black dog tentacles into pieces.

Yi Bufeng stared at me blankly with a horrified expression on his face. Great Master, this shadow … It's so
