"Reporting to the Immortal Lord, apart from Lu Tian being drained of his blood, no one else was injured. However, Lu Tian's body was dragged into the inner room by that monster, and none of us dared to go in."
“You did the right thing. That thing is beyond your capabilities. Have everyone spread out a bit.”
Once everyone had dispersed several dozen meters away, Lu Xuan took out twelve silver, triangular, pyramidal iron nails and drove them into the ground, circling the entire courtyard. He then took out some bright red pigment resembling cinnabar and covered the walls around the courtyard with various runes.
It seems Lu Xuan was being overly cautious. Given the intensity of the Yin energy inside, Lu Xuan could practically crush his opponent with a single finger. Yet, he still tirelessly set up multiple backup plans around the area. There was no other way; aside from the fact that this particular zombie resurrection was rather strange.
Just considering that this was Lu Xuan's first encounter with extraordinary beings in this world, he had to be careful. The possibility of something going wrong absolutely could not be allowed to exist. So, he took out a mirror-like magical artifact, chanted an incantation, and made the mirror float above the courtyard.
If the zombies inside had their own thoughts, I wonder what kind of expression they would have.

Chapter 340 Who is this extraordinary person?
It wasn't until dusk that Lu Xuan finally finished all the arrangements. In total, he had set up seven layers of backup plans.
Meanwhile, the commotion inside the house grew louder and louder, as if the zombie was becoming increasingly alive. This activity reached its peak as the sun completely set. Then, the wooden door was smashed open by a tremendous force.
A woman dressed in a bright red wedding gown, her hair disheveled, walked out. The villagers in the distance panicked for a moment, but the thought of a celestial being present emboldened them, and some even moved closer to see what the monster looked like.
The zombie woman walked with a slightly stiff gait, but not as exaggerated as in traditional Hong Kong films. Her face was pale, with a faint bluish-black tinge. Apart from that, she was not much different from a normal person.
Seeing someone directly in front of her, she rushed straight towards them. But just as she took a step, Lu Xuan subtly flicked his finger. The mirror floating in the sky tilted slightly, and a ray of earthy yellow light shone on the female zombie.
The light seemed to bring some kind of immense pressure, and the female zombie lost her balance and knelt down on the ground.
The surrounding villagers erupted in another uproar upon seeing this.
"Did you see that? The monster is kneeling before the immortal!"
"Let me see, let me see."
A commotion erupted in the crowd as many villagers began to push forward. Lu Xuan had to reprimand them, scaring them back.
Then he turned to look at the zombie kneeling on the ground, unable to move.
Too weak, that was Lu Xuan's first impression.
This mirror is an unfinished magical artifact. Lu Xuan's basic concept is to make the mirror encompass all five elements. When fighting an enemy, it can automatically or passively switch its attack attribute based on the enemy's characteristics. This can be considered a characteristic of modern thinking. He always tries to give his magical artifacts more compatibility.
However, balancing the five elements in a single magical artifact is no easy task. This artifact currently only supports earth and fire elements. It's still quite a distance from being truly complete in all five elements.
At this moment, the earth-elemental beam suppressed the zombie. Lu Xuan stepped forward and carefully examined the thing.
Just as Lu Xuan squatted down, the zombie that had been squatting on the ground, unable to move, suddenly raised its head and blew a breath at Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan leaned back suddenly, and at the same time, a golden light flashed on his body as he activated a magic robe, blocking the yin energy.
This is the attack method of the zombies in this world. They can breathe out yin energy, extinguishing the yang energy in people, thus harming them.
Lu Xuan wasn't concerned about attacks of that level; what bothered him was that this zombie, acting like a human, had lured him closer before launching a sneak attack. This terrified Lu Xuan, as intelligent zombies and non-intelligent zombies were completely different concepts.
Lu Xuan wasn't sure if it was a coincidence or something else. But he had already decided to finish the fight quickly and not give his opponent any chance.
Lu Xuan rubbed three fingers of his right hand together, and a tiny flame appeared at the tip of his fingertip.
It looked extremely faint, no bigger than the flame of a match. But Lu Xuan was extremely cautious, completely focused, because this was the strongest divine power he had developed so far. It was a wisp of true solar fire.
It wasn't that Lu Xuan didn't want to make it bigger, but the danger of this thing was beyond imagination. During his attempt to cultivate the Sun Refinement technique, Lu Xuan accidentally discovered the source of the violent and scorching essence of the sun.
He painstakingly extracted a wisp of Solar True Fire from the essence of the sun. The first time he created Solar True Fire, Lu Xuan nearly burned his soul to ashes. Its domineering power was almost unimaginable. Even after countless private experiments, he could only barely control this wisp of Solar True Fire. Any more, and he feared the backlash would burn him alive.
The zombie, previously suppressed and quiet, was now unleashed with ferocity under the influence of the earth elemental energy. It struggled desperately, trying to break free of its restraints.
Lu Xuan snorted coldly and directly activated the True Sun Fire in his hand, flying towards the zombie.
After struggling for a while without success, the zombie actually started to speak.
"Boy, you... the sun's true fire!!! Senior, spare my life... Ah!!!!!!!!!!"
Lu Xuan was genuinely startled when the zombie spoke. But he couldn't stop now. He dared not abruptly withdraw the True Sun Fire. It was too dangerous and extremely difficult to control; he was currently completely unable to control it at will.
So before the zombie could finish speaking, the ball of fire landed on it. Then came a scream that was clearly male.
The zombie turned to ashes in an instant.
Meanwhile, in a dilapidated temple a dozen miles away from Lujia Village, an old man dressed in a black robe, sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes. His face was filled with terror, as if he had seen a ghost.
Without hesitation, he slapped his own skull with his palm, then forcefully flipped it off.
A wisp of black mist shot out from his head. At the same time, his body suddenly burst into flames. It was exactly the same fate as that of the zombie.
To be honest, even Lu Xuan himself didn't know that the True Fire of the Sun had this effect. After all, this was the first time he had used it against an enemy.
Just as the black-robed Taoist's body burst into flames, Lu Xuan finally noticed his presence. His figure blurred abruptly, reappearing outside Lu Family Village. Then, with a series of flashes, he arrived before the dilapidated temple in about five or six breaths.
Although there was no trace of life left inside, just to be on the safe side, Lu Xuan still unleashed a palm strike that shattered most of the dilapidated temple.
As expected, there was no trace of the cultivator in sight. The domineering power of the True Fire of the Sun had reduced the black-robed Taoist's body and clothing to ashes, leaving no trace behind.
After searching around without finding anything, Lu Xuan had no choice but to return to Lu Family Village.
He waved to summon Lu Tian's deceased parents-in-law and asked them.
"Tell me in detail about your Lu family's new daughter-in-law."
