Chapter 458 The Ghost Empress 6

"That's the woman named Ah Xiu. She's very savage. She hit Xiao Hai the moment they met!" Ah Chu said, pointing at Xiao Hai.

Xiao Hai patted A Chu on the shoulder. He had a good impression of A Xiu and did not find her rude or uncivilized.

"Master, Ah Xiu doesn't have any bad intentions!"

Mao Xiaofang glared at his two apprentices, "Just how many things have you two been hiding from me?"

A person skilled in Gu poison came to Gantian Town, and they didn't even tell him!

If something happens, you won't even know who to turn to!

"Uncle-Master, the most urgent task is to find this Ah Xiu!" Shi Shaojian said.

Ren Yinyin nodded in agreement, "If she takes the Frost Cicada Pearl, the zombies will definitely not let it go!"

Mao Xiaofang sighed, "Sigh, it's no use!"

He guessed that Ah Xiu must have taken the Cicada Pearl to save the snake demon!

Once the demon swallows the pearl, it will absorb it quickly. Even if you cut open the snake demon's belly, it will be too late.

"The best course of action now is to quickly set up the Golden Lotus Formation at Empress Dowager Cixi's tomb to prevent the zombies from coming out and causing trouble!"

“But, Uncle-Master, what if the zombies refuse to give up and try to break through the formation…” Ren Yinyin said worriedly.

If the zombies are willing to sacrifice themselves and use their own yin energy to destroy the magic array, the magic array will not be able to hold out for long.

Mao Xiaofang's expression was solemn. "If it really comes to that, we can only deal with whatever comes our way. Right now, let's set up the Golden Lotus Formation first, and buy as much time as we can."

Everyone nodded and began preparations to head to Empress Dowager Cixi's tomb.

……

Everything was ready, and noon had quietly arrived.

Mao Xiaofang looked up at the sky and saw a clear blue sky with bright sunshine. He couldn't help but think to himself, "Such good weather is perfect for setting up the formation."

He did some quick calculations, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he nodded slightly, saying, "Yes, today's timing, location, and people are all in place, so we will definitely be able to successfully complete the formation."

Mao Xiaofang turned to the crowd and said, "Today, we'll first set up the formation, then hurry up and collect the blood of all twelve zodiac animals. When the time is right, we can wipe out that zombie in one fell swoop!"

Upon hearing this, Ren Yinyin, unable to contain her curiosity, couldn't help but ask, "Uncle-Master, why is the blood of the twelve zodiac animals so important?"

She only knew a little about many of the formations that her martial uncle Mao Xiaofang mentioned from books, and had only a superficial understanding of the principles behind them.

Shi Shaojian was also quite interested in this question, and he turned his gaze to Mao Xiaofang, looking forward to his uncle's answer.

Seeing this, Mao Xiaofang smiled slightly and patiently explained, "These twelve zodiac animals are the most spiritual animals in the world. They each represent different attributes and powers, and their blood naturally contains powerful power to ward off evil. Among these twelve zodiac animals, the rooster is the most special."

He paused, then continued, "Every morning, the rooster crows precisely to greet the first rays of sunlight. Because of this, the blood on the rooster's comb gathers the pure yang energy of heaven and earth, making its ability to ward off evil spirits unparalleled!"

"What about the black dog blood, Master?" Ah Chu interrupted.

Mao Xiaofang glanced at Achu and continued to explain, "Black dog blood is also a highly yang substance, which can suppress yin evil. However, compared to rooster blood, its yang energy is not as pure, and it is also a bit troublesome to collect."

Ah Chu scratched his head and nodded as if he understood.

Xiao Hai, who was listening nearby, suddenly asked, "Master, if we can't find the blood of the twelve zodiac animals, will the Golden Lotus Formation still work?"

Mao Xiaofang frowned and said seriously, "Although the Golden Lotus Formation itself has a certain effect in restraining zombies, its power will be greatly reduced without the blessing of the twelve zodiac blood. If the zombies charge with all their might, the formation will hardly be able to hold out for long."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned serious.

Police Chief Song Zilong walked over with his subordinate Sanyuan and said to Mao Xiaofang, "Master Mao, can we begin?"

Yesterday, their police station also lost a number of personnel, and Song Zilong was eager to eliminate these zombies that were wreaking havoc in Gantian Town.

“We can begin!” Mao Xiaofang said.

Mao Xiaofang stood behind the altar, gripping the peach wood sword tightly in both hands, preparing to unleash his magic. Suddenly, a furious shout, like a thunderclap, exploded in the air.

"stop!"

The voice seemed to contain boundless majesty, inspiring awe in all who heard it.

As soon as the words fell, a group of soldiers strode in like a whirlwind, their steps precise and their demeanor menacing.

Leading the group was a tall, stern-faced middle-aged soldier. His posture was as upright as a pine tree, and his military uniform made him appear even more imposing.

Two soldiers followed closely behind him, gripping rifles tightly. They were escorting Commander Chen and his adjutant, whose hands were bound.

At this moment, Commander Chen and his adjutant were as pale as paper, as if they had lost all their vitality.

They hung their heads, their eyes lifeless, completely lacking their usual imposing manner, like two lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Upon seeing this, Song Zilong felt a pang of anxiety and quickly stepped forward to greet him.

His gaze fell on these unfamiliar soldiers, filled with vigilance.

"Who are you people?" Song Zilong's voice was low and carried a hint of questioning.

He was quite surprised by the sudden appearance of these soldiers, especially by seeing Commander Chen and his adjutant who were tied up, which made him even more suspicious.

Previously, Commander Chen had falsely issued orders to direct the villagers to dig up landmines, but who would have thought that these so-called landmines were actually the tomb of Empress Dowager Cixi!

If it weren't for Commander Chen's heinous act, so many people in Gantian Town wouldn't have died or been injured!

Therefore, when Song Zilong saw these unfamiliar soldiers, his doubts deepened, and he couldn't help but look them up and down with suspicion.

The middle-aged soldier looked at Song Zilong expressionlessly, his voice icy cold, as if devoid of any emotion.

"My surname is Li. I am a subordinate of Xu Shichang in the Beiyang government, and I am responsible for hunting down traitors!" His words were concise and clear, yet they exuded an irresistible authority.

Song Zilong was surprised: "Are those two traitors?"

I was so badly scammed!

"That's right!" Commander Li said. "After their defeat, those two went around robbing and looting. I've been looking for them for a long time! I never imagined they were hiding here, robbing tombs!"

After saying this, Commander Li walked past Song Zilong and toward the others, "Listen up, everyone, everything in the tomb belongs to the Beiyang government, and no one is allowed to own it!"

Mao Xiaofang frowned and said, "There are many zombies in the tomb now. I need to deal with them as soon as possible to prevent them from causing havoc on the world!"

Upon hearing Mao Xiaofang's words, Commander Li's previously expressionless face suddenly revealed a hint of disdain and mockery. He glanced at Mao Xiaofang sideways, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, and let out a cold laugh.

He stopped in front of Mao Xiaofang, looked down at him, and said coldly, "Where in this world are there any zombies or ghosts? This is nothing but a lie made up by you charlatans!"

Mao Xiaofang was clearly not intimidated by Commander Li's imposing manner. He straightened his posture and replied with a serious expression, "It's true, the zombies in the tomb are extremely powerful. If we don't eliminate them as soon as possible, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Mao Xiaofang's voice revealed anxiety and worry. He was well aware of the danger of these zombies, which was why he explained it to Commander Li so earnestly.

However, Commander Li completely dismissed Mao Xiaofang's words, believing him to be nothing more than a charlatan.
