Dragon Old Master's body trembled with anger upon hearing the curses outside the door.
After repelling the Five Ghosts with a palm strike, he retreated a few steps, only for the Five Ghosts to charge forward again.
What infuriated him was that the interference of the Five Ghosts prevented him from putting his sack over the wild ginseng.
The wild ginseng had unleashed many vines, which had tightly bound themselves to the female corpse.
Seeing the wild ginseng about to break free from the female corpse's grasp, Dragon Old Master urgently called out, "Long Er, quickly use the sack to cover the wild ginseng!"
Long Er, who was setting up a net, heard the shout and ran over quickly. He took the sack from Dragon Old Master and was about to cover the wild ginseng.
Zhao Yan took out the Soul Summoning Bell and began to shake it.
"Dang dang dang..."
As the sound of the Soul Summoning Bell continued to ring, the female corpse let out screams of pain. The hand gripping the wild ginseng loosened, and the wild ginseng instantly slipped from its grasp.
Upon touching the ground, the wild ginseng burrowed into the earth and vanished.
Zhao Yan handed the Soul Summoning Bell to Wang Xianzhi, then took off her jacket and put it on him, whispering a few words in his ear.
Wang Xianzhi said with a mournful face, "I can't do it, Master."
"You can," Zhao Yan replied, putting on her jacket.
She then retreated a dozen steps and ran back towards the courtyard.
As she ran, she called out, "Master Han, what are you doing here!"
Wang Xianzhi, with a pinched voice, replied, "Dragon Old Dog has committed many evils. Today, I, Han Lin, am determined to kill the old dog. Master Zhao, please join me in eliminating Dragon Old Dog!"
"There's such a thing? Let me see!" Zhao Yan walked over quickly.
Dragon Old Master was entangled by five fierce ghosts. While he had the upper hand, it would still take some time to completely subdue them.
Long Er exclaimed in alarm, "Bad news, Master Dragon, the wild ginseng has burrowed underground."
"We have the Yang Net. Since the wild ginseng has burrowed underground, it cannot escape the courtyard."
Hearing Zhao Yan's voice from outside, Dragon Old Master's expression turned flustered.
"Damn it! Why is Zhao Yan here!"
Long Er worried, "Master Dragon, if Zhao Yan and Han Lin join forces, we might be in trouble!"
"Your children are still controlling the Yang Net. Once they leave the Yang Net, the wild ginseng will surely escape."
Dragon Old Master felt a surge of frustration. It had to be at this moment...
Just two more minutes. As long as he captured this wild ginseng and the many corpses he had raised, he wouldn't fear Zhao Yan and Han Lin joining forces.
"Quick, help me," Dragon Old Master urged.
Long Er helped Dragon Old Master deal with a fierce ghost.
Seeing the malevolent energy on the five fierce ghosts gradually decrease, the two felt a surge of joy. Before they could celebrate, they saw Zhao Yan enter the courtyard, holding a talisman in her hand.
While dealing with four fierce ghosts, Dragon Old Master said, "Miss Zhao, don't believe the slanderous words of a villain. Han Lin, this despicable scoundrel, tried to kill me when I wasn't paying attention. This thief is after my wealth."
Wang Xianzhi shouted from outside, "You're talking out of your ass! I, Han Lin, am a man of integrity. How could I covet your wealth? On the contrary, you are a corpse raiser, even using the souls of your own children to raise corpses. You are worse than pigs and dogs, utterly wicked!"
Dragon Old Master looked at Zhao Yan and said obsequiously, "Miss Zhao, regardless of whether it's right or wrong, good or evil, if you help me today, I can give you anything you want."
"Beneath this Yang Net, there is also a thousand-year-old wild ginseng. If you consume it, not only will your Yang energy greatly increase, but it will also extend your lifespan."
Zhao Yan exclaimed in surprise, "What? Is there really a thousand-year-old wild ginseng here?"
Seeing Zhao Yan's expression, Dragon Old Master's face lit up with joy. "Yes, there is a thousand-year-old wild ginseng beneath here. If you help me, I am willing to share half of it with you."
"Without my children, it would be impossible for you to capture the wild ginseng!"
Zhao Yan paced back and forth, conflicted, then gritted her teeth, "Are you really willing to give me the wild ginseng?"
Seeing that Zhao Yan was tempted, a cold smile flashed in Dragon Old Master's eyes. Women in their twenties were indeed naive.
He quickly nodded, "Yes, as long as you help me get rid of Han Lin, once I capture the wild ginseng, I will naturally give you half."
Zhao Yan nodded, "Agreed!"
Wang Xianzhi, listening from outside, cursed loudly, "Good for you, Zhao Yan, colluding with Dragon Old Dog! May you die a terrible death, you dog! Today, I, Han Lin, will kill both of you!"
"Dang dang dang dang dang dang..."
Outside, Wang Xianzhi frantically shook the bell.
The female corpse reacted more and more violently.
Dragon Old Master grew anxious seeing this, never expecting the Soul Summoning Bell to be so effective against the female corpse.
"Please hurry, Miss Zhao!"
Zhao Yan, holding the talisman, quickly turned. After taking two steps, she immediately threw a talisman behind Dragon Old Master.
The Yang Gathering Talisman instantly erupted with seven streams of Yang energy, which shot out.
Dragon Old Master saw Zhao Yan suddenly turn and throw the Yang Gathering Talisman at him.
His face showed astonishment, and then he shouted resentfully, "You dare to trick me!"
"How could I, Zhao Yan, collude with an old dog like you? Dragon Old Dog, die!"
The Yang Gathering Talisman was not very effective against the living, but it was extremely potent against the yin.
Seven streams of Yang energy erupted and shot towards the six Xuanmen masters.
Zhao Yan took a step forward, holding the dagger Han Lin had previously stabbed her with, and lunged at Dragon Old Master.
At such close range, and entangled by four fierce ghosts, Dragon Old Master saw that he could not dodge. He suddenly grabbed Long Er's shoulder and quickly pulled him in front of him.
"Master Dragon, you!"
The dagger pierced his chest. Long Er looked down at the dagger, his face filled with disbelief.
He had been loyal to Dragon Old Master, yet he had become a shield.
Zhao Yan struck true. Dragon Old Master pushed Long Er away, and Long Er crashed towards her.
She pulled out the dagger and quickly dodged to the left. Long Er fell straight to the ground.
"Ruthless!"
Seeing Dragon Old Master use Long Er as a shield, Zhao Yan's heart sank. She wanted to create distance for another strike.
Bang bang bang...
With six consecutive sounds, the six Xuanmen masters were struck by the Yang energy, and the soul worms within them were forced out.
The six men instantly collapsed to the ground.
With the absence of six people, the Yang Net developed a breach.
Dragon Old Master's face turned ashen with rage, as the results of over twenty years of preparation were about to be destroyed.
"I will kill you!" Dragon Old Master ignored the Yang Net, roared, and began chanting.
More than a dozen Yang corpses he controlled rushed towards Zhao Yan from all directions.
With the Yang Net no longer controlled by Yang corpses, the wild ginseng found an opening and poked its head out, attempting to escape.
To everyone's surprise, just as the wild ginseng poked its head out, the Black Tiger General, who had been observing in the shadows, lunged out with lightning speed.
He bit down on the spout of the wild ginseng that had emerged.
Before the wild ginseng could escape, its upper half was immediately bitten off.
"Crunch crunch," it was devoured whole.
Zhao Yan exclaimed in shock, "Holy crap!"
