Lu Jin and Zhang Chulan wanted to set off to rescue the people, but they were blocked by a group of monsters with human bodies and frog faces. These highly poisonous frogmen emitted a large amount of toxic green mist, which formed a barrier that blocked their way.
Zhang Chulan and some junior Taoist priests tried to rush into the poisonous fog, but were pulled back by Xu San and the others. They could only helplessly watch the old Celestial Master die as they passed through the fog.
Zhang Chulan broke free from Xu San's grasp, knelt on the ground, and wept bitterly. He felt his own powerlessness time and time again, especially this time when he couldn't even save his respected elder. Zhang Chulan's tears finally fell to the ground...
A clearing appeared amidst the poisonous fog. The young Taoist boy dripped a drop of dark green liquid onto his brow, and his figure slowly grew taller, transforming into the appearance of a woman—Liu Yanyan.
Skinning Substitute Technique!
The sorcery described on page seventeen, line three of the sorcery book involves skinning someone and then wearing the fake skin with a special incantation. This can disguise the appearance and voice of the person who was skinned, but the drawback is that it can only be used for one day; otherwise, the fake skin will rot and stink.
After Xu Le injured the young Taoist boy, he ran into Liu Yanyan, who was setting up an evil magic array, on his way back to find his fellow disciples. Seeing that the Taoist had witnessed her plan, Liu Yanyan killed him.
Meanwhile, just in case, she used this evil method to peel off his skin and wear it on her own body, hiding in the shadows to carry out her plan. Just now, when the Yaksha was about to be defeated, Liu Yanyan emerged from the shadows, blended into the crowd, pretended to be a child concerned about the ancestor, and stuffed the Soul Explosion Ball into Zhang Zhiwei's body.
The Soul Explosion Ball was her trump card. Last night, she used evil magic to create it from the souls of 372 residents of a remote town.
The Yaksha appeared in front of her out of nowhere. Liu Yanyan was already seriously injured when she first saw him, so she took the opportunity to control him with her corpse-driving technique. However, the difference in strength was too great. Due to the backlash of the corpse-driving technique, Liu Yanyan paid the price of ten years of her lifespan.
Even evil magic cannot be used casually. Otherwise, the world of Jackie Chan Adventures would be overrun by a group of evil sorcerers, and there would be no place for chi magic to stand. The price is the lifespan of the caster, since these evil spells are against the natural order and each use requires sacrificing one's lifespan.
The process of creating the highly poisonous frogman cost five years of his lifespan, the Living Corpse Array fifteen years, the Soul Explosion Ball ten years, the Skinning Substitute Technique one year, the evil technique to enhance his strength five years, plus the ten years used to control the Yaksha, totaling forty-six years of his lifespan.
Although Liu Yanyan appears to be still young, her body is actually old and her bodily functions have deteriorated significantly. She is only holding on by forcing herself to stay young. With her original strength, she could have lived to be ninety years old, but now she has had forty-six years of lifespan taken away, plus a bunch of hidden injuries. It is questionable whether she can even live past thirty.
Now, when Liu Yanyan closes her eyes, she can see countless wronged souls wailing around her, their blood-stained hands reaching out to drag her into hell. Therefore, Liu Yanyan's mind and body are now exhausted to the limit. She has only one goal left: to resurrect Xu Le. If she can resurrect Xu Le, she will have no regrets in this life. Xu Le's happiness is her greatest joy, and her blood-stained hands will only lead her to the endless torment of hell.
Zhang Zhiwei knelt on the ground, his face aged and devoid of its former vigor. He turned his cloudy eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Turn back! This is all a conspiracy! And there's a mastermind behind it all..."
Before he could finish speaking, his life force was extinguished, and he closed his eyes and collapsed to the ground. This respectable old man had dedicated his life to maintaining order in the world of supernatural beings. It was ironic that this invincible, number one person in the world died at the hands of a woman driven mad by revenge.
Liu Yanyan remained silent, regardless of whether it was a conspiracy or not.
Because she had lost everything and had no way out...
After observing for a while and confirming that Zhang Zhiwei was indeed dead, Liu Yanyan ordered several zombies to carry his body. One of the zombies handed Liu Yanyan a huge snakeskin bag. Liu Yanyan opened the bag and counted the contents: a total of one hundred and two hearts. Longhu Mountain had suffered heavy losses in this attack, since Liu Yanyan had ordered the zombies to prioritize attacking the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain.
Liu Yanyan's Soul Orb had also collected six hundred souls. She was afraid that the mysterious being would not be satisfied with her offerings. If the being was not satisfied and did not agree to resurrect Xu Le, all her efforts would be in vain. So she desperately collected souls.
She was no longer the innocent and kind person she once was. She had killed a pregnant woman who was eight months along and a six-year-old child. Although her conscience tormented her and she felt extremely pained every time she committed the crime, she would not stop for that person.
Liu Yanyan was ready. Once Xu Le was resurrected, she would quietly leave and find a place to end her life. After all, she was willing to die for the crimes she had committed, and even if she had to suffer eternal torment in the deepest hell, she would have no complaints. After all, it was the sin she had committed...
Liu Yanyan slung the bag over her shoulder and headed down the mountain. She was going back to inscribe the sacrificial array. This time, she would have to sacrifice twenty years of her lifespan, no more and no less, just enough to squeeze out the last bit of her value.
Down the mountain, a large number of NaDuTong employees gathered. They changed into protective suits and began to walk up the mountain.
As a force personally placed in the world of superhumans by the higher-ups, their alarm capabilities are naturally quite strong. In fact, the board of directors received the news when the zombie horde first broke out, but because the poisonous fog was too corrosive, they could not enter and could only wait for the protective suits to be delivered.
This matter can no longer be covered up. The higher-ups have decided to launch another purge of the superhumans, eliminating all those who do not submit. Although the superhumans are individually very strong, they are still somewhat lacking compared to airplanes and cannons. So don't underestimate the Seven District Alliance (this has been modified to avoid censorship). Once they start using their power, they can dig people out of the ground.

Chapter 116: Looting Treasures
Remember me in one second! Fast updates, free to read!
Xu Le stood in the air, concealing himself with a snake talisman, and watched the entire battle. Even he had to admire Liu Yanyan's wisdom; love not only makes a person stupid, but it can also drive them crazy.
Xu Le reached out and summoned the power of the Sheep Talisman. A large number of dead souls were gathered in his hand and then sent into the inner world. Since there was no Netherworld, they were temporarily taken over by the Sheep Talisman Heavenly Pillar in the inner world.
This was one of his goals. The development of the inner world was too slow, and it would take too long for it to grow on its own. So Xu Le set his sights on this world and used this method to plunder a large number of souls, many of which were the souls of powerful individuals.
Moreover, these souls contain a wealth of memories and records of numerous martial arts techniques, which can enrich Xu Le's martial arts foundation.
The reason Liu Yanyan was chosen was simply because Xu Le wanted to be a chess player for once. Liu Yanyan was just an excellent candidate, and her performance far exceeded Xu Le's expectations, achieving 100% completion of the plan.
After all, Xu Le initially thought that Liu Yanyan could only severely injure Zhang Zhiwei. Yaksha was also injured by Xu Le and sent to Liu Yanyan, just to increase Liu Yanyan's strength.
However, unexpectedly, Liu Yanyan disguised herself and walked up to Zhang Zhiwei, killing him with a Soul Explosion Ball.
This series of plans was astonishing, one after another, and when everyone lowered their guard, they launched a surprise attack.
This is just a world Xu Le is using for practice. After all, he can't always act like a reckless brute. Anything is possible. Maybe one day he'll encounter a peerless powerhouse in an ordinary world. After all, Kelvin is a technologically advanced being; he might even meet him in some backward world. (The original author believes Kelvin is just an alien, not a magical life form.)
At this point, chess moves and strategic planning become crucial. Pieces are used as probes to explore and plan for the future. However, Xu Le lacks experience and strategic acumen, so he uses a single world as a practice ground. This time, his strategy is very successful, and the rewards are about to be realized.
Xu Le watched as the NaDuTong employees, dressed in protective suits, went up the mountain. With a flick of his sleeve, a strong wind blew up, causing the toxic fog to spread again. Everyone became on high alert, guarding against any possible enemies.
Xu Le stealthily approached Lu Jin, who was using the Tongtian Talisman to summon a strong wind to resist the poisonous fog. Due to his advanced age, Lu Jin's body could not withstand the repeated high-intensity Qi circulation, and fine sweat appeared on his forehead, and his breathing began to become rapid.
Xu Le came to his side. The snake talisman's powerful concealment ability was beyond their ability to detect. Moreover, Xu Le had entered the Refining Spirit Realm, achieving perfect harmony between mind and spirit, and using his divine sense to shield himself. Without sufficient strength, they would be completely unable to detect him.
Xu Le quietly began to probe Lu Jin's body with his divine sense, without any emotion, so as not to attract attention. After searching for a few seconds, he found the Heavenly Talisman hidden in Lu Jin's chest. He scanned it with his divine sense and imprinted it in his mind. After leaving an imprint on Wang Ai's body, Xu Le turned and left the high platform.
However, he did not leave Longhu Mountain. Instead, he went to the library. Xu Le used his mental power to collect all the books and put them into his inner world. He then entrusted the Heavenly Dao consciousness to record these precious books one by one. At the same time, he arrived at the treasure pavilion of Longhu Mountain.
The treasure pavilion was sealed with a door made of refined gold and a huge, incredibly sturdy copper lock. Without the key, it was impossible for an ordinary person to open. Originally, there should have been guards here, but because Liu Yanyan made such a commotion, everyone ran to the high platform. In addition, since there was no key and it could not be opened, the few Taoist priests who were guarding the place also went to help. Perhaps they survived, or perhaps their hearts were ripped out by the living corpses, but none of this was within Xu Le's concern.
As a major sect with a history of thousands of years, Longhu Mountain would naturally collect a large number of rare treasures. In any case, the decline of Longhu Mountain after Zhang Zhiwei's death was inevitable, so Xu Le decided to accept these treasures for now.
Xu Le's eyes flashed with golden light, shooting out two thumb-thick laser beams that, under his control, began to cut through the door made of refined gold.
Sizzle!
The sound of metal being cut echoed in the treasure room, and countless sparks flew wildly. In an instant, the dim room was filled with white light, so bright that it was impossible to open one's eyes.
Snap!
