At noon, when the yang energy is at its peak, the sun, without the obstruction of the coffin lid, directly shone on Old Master Ren's corpse, producing a sizzling sound like ice meeting fire.
A jet-black aura emanated from the corpse, but quickly vanished without a trace under the scorching sunlight.
Old Master Ren's face, which was as thin as a rake, showed a painful expression, and he let out a series of low, hissing roars.
"Heh..."
It sounded like a beast's roar, not like a human voice.
Under the scorching sun, its plump body seemed to shrink, slowly drying out and becoming flat.
In a short while, the dense yin energy became very thin, and only a few scattered bits remained in the coffin, with a few wisps of black energy occasionally emerging.
After an incense stick had burned, no more yin energy was emitted.
Ren Fa leaned closer to take a look and found that his father's corpse had stopped growing fat and had turned into a dry, brittle shape, much like a mummified corpse. He couldn't help but feel relieved.
"Nephew, are you all better now?"
He asked curiously.
Ren Fa was an ordinary person and couldn't see anything, but Lin Fengjiao, who was standing to the side, discovered that there was still a trace of corpse poison remaining in the old man's body, deeply hidden in his heart and deeply rooted.
“Master Ren, the old master still has corpse poison in his heart. If it is not removed, it will come back in a few decades!”
Upon hearing this, Ren Fa's expression, which had initially relaxed, instantly changed, and he hurriedly asked, "What? It's not ready yet? What should we do?"
Ren Tingting couldn't help but look at Xiao Ning, grab his hand and shake it, and whispered, "Brother Xiao, stop being so mysterious!"
"I'll take care of it right away!"
Lin Fengjiao could see it, and Xiao Ning was no exception. He nodded, gently squeezed her hand, and flicked his other finger.
A sword aura shot out, striking Old Master Ren squarely in the heart. The sword aura sliced through the hard skin like a hot knife through butter, hitting the heart that had been cleansed by yin energy and turned jet black.
The heart, originally the size of a fist, was transformed into the size of a walnut and hardened to the point of being as hard as metal or stone under the influence of Yin energy.
However, before this invincible sword energy, it was as easily destroyed as dry leaves, becoming utterly vulnerable and being cut in two.
As soon as it was cut in half, it instantly melted into a liquid and quickly evaporated into black yin energy, which soon dissipated into the air.
"roar…"
Old Master Ren's body suddenly sat up, opening a pair of pitch-black eyes, but they were empty; his eyeballs were nowhere to be seen, making him look extremely terrifying!
It opened its mouth wide, revealing two sharp fangs, and roared to the sky, startling everyone around it.
Ren Tingting shuddered in fright and instinctively hid behind Xiao Ning, exclaiming, "That's terrifying!"
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. This is its last struggle before it dies!" Xiao Ning squeezed her hand tightly and comforted her.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Old Master Ren, who had sat up, fell back down, struggled a couple of times, and then stopped moving.
"Uncle, the old master has returned to normal and can be buried in a different location! I'll take Tingting back now!"
Seeing that the matter was settled, Xiao Ning felt the urge to leave and turned to say something to Ren Fa.
Hearing this, Ren Fa was overjoyed, his smile wide and he waved his hand, saying, "Go!"
Xiao Ning nodded, then turned to Lin Fengjiao and said, "Lin Jiu, I'll leave the rest to you! I live in town, so if you have any questions, feel free to come find me!"
After saying that, without waiting for Lin Fengjiao's reply, he put his arm around Ren Tingting's slender waist, and with a thought, a cloud of auspiciousness appeared beneath his feet. He soared into the sky, flying higher and higher until he disappeared.
Everyone present looked up, watching Xiao Ning walk away hand in hand with Ren Tingting, and they all felt a deep longing in their hearts.
This is flight! Humans can fly freely in the sky without the help of external forces, relying on their own abilities. How enviable!
"Master Ren has a wonderful daughter; he's truly blessed!"
After a while, Lin Fengjiao smacked her lips and said leisurely to Ren Fa.
Ren Fa sensed the deep envy and jealousy in his tone and couldn't help but smile smugly, stroking his mustache.
"Haha, I only have one daughter, Tingting. As long as she is happy, I will be content!"
"However, Lin Jiu, you are also very lucky. My son-in-law is willing to take the time to guide you. This is a blessing you could never have asked for in several lifetimes!"
Hearing his boastful words, Lin Fengjiao couldn't help but purse her lips, not wanting to pay him any attention, and instead greeted the others.
"Alright, guys, put the coffin back together and carry it back. Then we can call it a day and go home!"
When everyone heard that they could finish work and go home, they erupted in loud cheers that carried far and wide.
They've had a string of juicy gossip stories today, and they can't wait to share them with others.
First, there was the security captain, Awei, who was struck dead by lightning for offending a deity.
Then, the immortal actually took a liking to Ren Tingting, the eldest daughter of the Ren family, and wanted to marry her.
Finally, Old Master Ren's body underwent a drastic transformation, turning into a zombie. Fortunately, the immortal was there to avert an invisible crisis.
This shocking revelation is enough to keep the people of Renjia Town entertained for a year.
………………
Holding Ren Tingting's hand, Xiao Ning soared into the sky and quickly left the nameless, desolate mountain, reaching an altitude of a thousand meters.
The white clouds drifted lazily by, and Xiao Ning did not control where they flew, but let them float aimlessly in the sky, while the two of them were deeply in love on the auspicious clouds.
