Chapter 199 Corpse Poison
Inside the Zhenjun Hall of Maoshan, these Taoist priests heard the Heavenly Master's words, looked at each other and felt that they made a lot of sense.

Indeed, there is something wrong with the direction of their thinking. At this moment, they are thinking about the problems completely from their own standpoint, that is, they are considering these problems from the standpoint of the Taoists and those ordinary people.

The Heavenly Master deduced the overall situation from the perspective of the corpse demons. If they were corpse demons, their target this time would definitely not be the ordinary people in Maoshan City.

Because if the corpse demon wanted to kill ordinary people, it would be too easy. There would be no need to go through so much trouble, and there would be no need to even expose itself.

After all, the corpse demon is too powerful. If he wants to attack ordinary people, he can do it more secretly and without anyone noticing. Otherwise, he would not have hidden near Maoshan for so many years and no one has discovered him.

The reason why he exposed himself this time was most likely the same as what the Heavenly Master said. He wanted to use Maoshan's means to attract all the high-ranking Taoist leaders in Long Country, and then catch them all in one fell swoop.

Since the target this time is the high-ranking members of the Taoist sect, the Corpse Demon will not allocate the rest of its strength to deal with ordinary people who have little power to resist.

After all, although the corpse demon is powerful, these high-ranking officials of the Taoist sect are no pushovers either. The two sides meet at the top and fight to the death here at this moment. Any force may be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

The corpse demon is certainly confident in himself, but at this time he will not waste the power around him to deal with those useless ordinary people.

After all, as long as he kills these Taoist high-ranking officials, the entire Dragon Kingdom will belong to him in the future. By that time, there will be no force that can resist him, and he can do whatever he wants here.

So there is no rush at all now.

The official leaders also felt that the analysis of the Heavenly Master made sense. At first, they were indeed worried about what to do if they encountered monsters and demons during the evacuation, but now after hearing what the Heavenly Master said, it seemed that there was no need to worry about this.

Moreover, even if the corpse demon really attacks at that time, the Taoist leaders will not just stand by and watch, they will take action.

It would even be a good thing if the corpse demons could divide their strength to deal with ordinary people, so that they can concentrate on dealing with the corpse demons.

The top officials had no concerns, and they began to evacuate the ordinary people in Maoshan City. They wanted to evacuate all the citizens before the war began.

The evacuation work will take at least a week to complete, and no problems should occur within this week.

At this time, someone said, "During this week's evacuation, should our various sects take turns to send personnel to accompany these evacuation teams? This way, we can better protect their safety."

Some people suggested that when these citizens evacuate, each major government office should send a group of people to follow them throughout the process every day to ensure their safety.

But as soon as these words came out, Zhang Xuanqing just laughed.

"If you want to go, go ahead. Now everyone is gathered inside Maoshan, all gathered together. The corpse demon is worried about how to defeat them all. Do you want to take the initiative to go out in batches to protect others?

Are you worried that the corpse demons won't be defeated one by one?"

Zhang Xuanqing had said before that the corpse demons would not attack ordinary people only if both sides gathered their strength.

If a Taoist person from Mount Mao dares to go out alone, do you really think the corpse demon will not catch him?

The corpse demon catches those who are alone.

After listening to the words of the Heavenly Master, the Taoist leaders present were speechless. What the Heavenly Master said was indeed reasonable. If that corpse demon really wanted to attack them, it would indeed choose to capture them alone.

And if they sent someone out midway, it would obviously give them an opportunity.

Maoshan Zhenjun looked at Tianshi and said, "Tianshi, what should we do now? We can't just sit and wait for death in Maoshan, right? We have to know where the corpse demon is first."

Now we are in the light and the enemy is in the dark, but we can't always be like this. After all, it would be too passive if we keep doing this and it definitely won't work.

Even if they don't take the initiative to attack, they must find out the enemy's location first.

It's even more troublesome if you don't know anything all the time.

But the problem is that the corpse demon has extremely strong hiding skills, and ordinary Taoist tracking techniques cannot find his whereabouts at all. After all, if ordinary Taoist tracking techniques could find him, the corpse demon would not have hidden near Maoshan for thousands of years without anyone noticing.

His hiding skills are extremely sophisticated.

Next, each major sect used their own tracking techniques to track, but they found that they were useless.

For a time, the Taoist leaders were also in a dilemma.

Just when they were at a loss, a disciple from outside Maoshan rushed in to report.

"Master, this is bad! All the disciples who were shopping at the foot of the mountain were bitten and are now in critical condition. Please save them!"

"What!" Upon hearing the reports from the disciples outside, the founder of Maoshan slammed the table and stood up. Then a group of Taoist high-ranking officials went out to check the situation.

As expected, more than a dozen disciples were brought back from the Maoshan Mountain Gate. They all had bite marks on their necks, scratches and other shocking wounds on their bodies.

Some parts were even bitten off, which looked horrible.

These disciples were seriously injured, and each of them was in great pain, extremely weak, and pale. There were already high-ranking Taoist priests from Maoshan beside them checking their injuries, but the faces of these high-ranking Taoist priests also looked bad, and it was obvious that the situation was not good.

The founder of Maoshan turned pale and asked what was going on.

A disciple who knew the situation reported: "Master, these are the disciples in charge of purchasing supplies for Mount Mao. They were ordered to go out this morning to make a large purchase to prepare enough food for the mountain, but they have not returned until noon.

Later we sent people out to check and found them. When we found them, they were already seriously injured. These wounds were caused by bites from zombies, and they were very powerful zombies. "

The founder of Maoshan naturally knew that these were wounds caused by zombie bites. He then looked at the Taoist master who was checking the injuries of these disciples.

"how is the situation?"

Taoist Master Gao Gong looked grim, shook his head and stood up.

“Master Zhen, the situation is not good. If I am not mistaken, the zombie that bit them should be the corpse demon we are going to deal with, but for some reason, the corpse demon did not bite them to death, but left them with a breath.

But it is just a breath left. The corpse demon is too strong, the corpse qi is too strong, the corpse poison is too strong, and now the corpse poison has invaded the internal organs and is difficult to treat. These disciples..."

The high-level Taoist priest shook his head as he spoke, a look of sadness on his face, which clearly explained its meaning.

These disciples were bitten by corpse demons. The toxicity of ordinary zombie kings is terrible enough. It is difficult to survive a bite from a zombie king. Corpse demons are thousands of times stronger than zombie kings. How can they be saved?
It can't be saved.

A high-ranking member of a sect was furious when he saw this scene.

Some people with strong personalities even picked up their swords and were ready to go down the mountain to fight the corpse demon to the death.

After all, the corpse demon's intention was very clear. It was not killing people, it was provoking them, and it was also sending a message.

From today on, no one who came down from Maoshan will have any hope of survival, and the corpse demon will leave them with a breath, just to let Maoshan see its disciples die with their own eyes.

This is not only a provocation to Maoshan, but also a provocation to the entire Taoism.

Maoshan Zhenjun leaned over to personally check the injuries of these disciples. These Maoshan disciples were also stubborn. After knowing that they were beyond medical help, they said one by one: "Grandmaster, we are unfilial disciples. We will sacrifice our lives today. Please kill us to prevent us from turning into zombies and harming others and ourselves after death."

These Maoshan disciples were all loyal and brave. They knew that they were bitten by zombies in their lifetime, and they were bitten by corpse demons. The corpse poison of the corpse demon was so terrifying, and the corpse poison had already penetrated into their internal organs. Once they died, the toxins in their bodies would instantly turn them into zombies.

Moreover, after being bitten by the corpse demon, they become zombies, and they will be very advanced, at least starting as hairy zombies.

The Mao zombies would bring countless troubles to Maoshan, and these disciples did not want to become zombies, which is why they were able to hold on with one last breath and support themselves to return to Maoshan.

On the one hand, they don't want to die at the hands of the corpse demon, and would rather die at the hands of the Maoshan ancestor. Dying at the hands of the Maoshan ancestor can prevent them from turning into zombies.

On the one hand, it would be a way to honor our ancestors, and on the other hand, it would allow their bodies to rest in peace without harming others or themselves.

However, how could the founder of Maoshan Mountain bring himself to do this? These disciples were only outer disciples and purchasing disciples of Maoshan Mountain.

But no matter what, he is still his disciple.

How could he kill his own disciples with his own hands?

When the high-ranking officials of other Taoist sects saw this tragic scene, they also turned their backs, each of them feeling heavy-hearted and not daring to look.

This scene at this moment is the most tragic scene in Taoism.

The apprentice was bitten by a zombie and his wounds were difficult to treat. In order to avoid becoming a zombie, he begged his master to kill him.

Although I know this is the greatest honor for a Taoist disciple, I still can't bear to watch it any longer.

The founder of Maoshan sighed at this moment.

Dying for one's own sake is the greatest honor in Taoism. These disciples died for the purpose of slaying demons and monsters, and they would rather die than turn into demons. Their spirit is truly noble.

Since they would rather die than turn into zombies, as the founder of Maoshan, I naturally have to fulfill their wish.

Master Maoshan took a deep breath, his face turned serious, he became ruthless and took action.

Pull out the Maoshan Demon-Slaying Sword and kill these disciples.

However, at this moment, Zhang Xuanqing stopped him.

"Don't worry, let me take a look first."

Maoshan Zhenjun said: "Tianshi, these disciples have been bitten by corpse demons, and the corpse poison has already invaded their internal organs. It is too late now, please get out of the way."

Zhang Xuanqing: "Don't worry, he may not be able to survive. Let me see first."

Anyway, I have already held on until now, so it doesn’t matter if I hold on a little longer.

Zhang Xuanqing asked the Maoshan Patriarch to put away the Zhenjun Sword in his hand and let him take a look first.

The founder of Maoshan could only listen to Zhang Xuanqing. There were many strange and magical techniques in Longhu Mountain, and maybe there was a way to deal with the corpse demon and corpse poison.

The founder of Maoshan stepped aside, and Zhang Xuanqing started to check.

He first took out a stack of talisman papers and stuck them on the bodies of these Maoshan disciples.

These talismans have two functions, one is to relieve pain, the other is to stop bleeding.

As for the corpse qi and corpse poison, Zhang Xuanqing cut his palm, squeezed out the blood of the Heavenly Master, and put a drop on the top of each person's forehead between the eyebrows.

The blood of the Heavenly Master has an extremely suppressive effect on corpse qi and corpse poison. A drop of it placed between their eyebrows can effectively suppress the corpse qi for a short period of time.

Let's save their lives first.

Afterwards, Zhang Xuanqing started to check and after taking the pulse of these disciples, he found that it was just as the high-level Taoist priests of Maoshan had said, because they were bitten by corpse demons, the corpse Qi in their bodies was particularly turbulent and terrifying, and the corpse poison had penetrated deep into their internal organs, making it difficult to cure with ordinary means.

Even the Taoist methods of removing corpse poison are no longer effective.

Even Maoshan is helpless, which shows how terrifying this toxin and corpse gas are.

But just because Maoshan couldn't do something doesn't mean Zhang Xuanqing couldn't do anything.

Maoshan Zhenjun asked, "Master, is there any method in Longhu Mountain that can cure the corpse demon poison?"

The Longhu Mountain lineage was passed down from Zhang Daoling in the Han Dynasty, who was a person who was clearly recorded to have ascended to heaven and become an immortal.

There are many magical powers and secret techniques within Longhu Mountain, many of which are kept secret and not even passed on to outsiders.

There are some mysterious methods that even the high-level Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain have never heard of. Only the Heavenly Master is qualified to learn them.

Could it be that there really is a method within Longhu Mountain that can cure this level of corpse poison?
The founder of Maoshan couldn't help but hold on to a glimmer of hope. It would be great if the Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master could really solve the corpse poison, and these disciples wouldn't have to die in vain.

However, in the next second, Zhang Xuanqing simply shook his head and said.

"The corpse poison invades the five internal organs, and the corpse qi is terrifying and ferocious. This level of poison is difficult to cure even if a Daluo Jinxian descends to the mortal world."

When the Heavenly Master said this, the founder of Maoshan sighed. As expected, even the Heavenly Master had no way to help.

But Zhang Xuanqing had just finished saying this when he continued, "However, just because Longhu Mountain and Daluo Jinxian can't do anything, it doesn't mean I can't do anything."

The Maoshan Patriarch's eyes lit up: "Master, do you have another solution?"

Zhang Xuanqing: "Of course there are. These disciples have corpse qi and corpse poison running around in their bodies. In fact, as long as we find someone to suck out all the corpse poison and corpse qi from their bodies and transfer them to ourselves, the problem will be solved.

As long as the problems of corpse qi and corpse poison are solved, the rest will just be some external injuries."

Hearing Zhang Xuanqing's words, the founder of Maoshan shook his head again.

Is not this nonsensical?

Of course he knew this method, but the problem was that only someone with extremely high cultivation could draw in corpse qi and corpse poison.

Moreover, the corpse poison and corpse qi in these disciples are at the level of corpse demons. Who can withstand this level of toxins?

Among the Taoist high-ranking officials present, only the Maoshan Patriarch, the Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master, the Laoshan Patriarch and others have the ability to do this.

But it is not certain whether they can withstand the poison, not to mention that there are more than a dozen Maoshan disciples here.

The amount of toxins in the body of one Maoshan disciple is already alarming. If the toxins of a dozen Maoshan disciples were all transferred to one person, wouldn't that person be dead for sure?

Moreover, even if we really help these disciples transfer the corpse qi and corpse poison, their strength will inevitably drop greatly, and it will take a long time to recover. What if the corpse demon attacks the mountain during this period of time?
So what the Heavenly Master said is in vain, isn’t it?
