"A murder happened this morning. Wang Chuan's wife was killed, and her body was hung on the copper statue at the center of Xin Guang Square!"

"Ah!" Chen Hao was startled again, "Didn't Wang Chuan's wife and child disappear when he activated the Five Elements Reincarnation Formation? How could it suddenly..."

"Yes!" Ren Deshan sighed, "The police said that her body had numerous small wounds, as if caused by tiny blades!"

Instantly, Chen Hao's mind conjured the image of the lame man and the effeminate man who had helped Wang Chuan activate the invisible reincarnation formation. Considering they were both martial artists, he could not help muttering, "Could it be caused by a sword wound?"

"That's unclear," sighed Ren Deshan. "Chairman Chen, I am now at the association, and there's nothing pressing at the moment, so if you have personal matters to attend to, you can go ahead with them. If there's an urgent matter, I will contact you."

"Really?" Chen Hao exclaimed with pleasure, "Then thank you for your trouble. I will go to the association after lunch then."

"Okay!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Hao leaned in to kiss Ye Yuqiao and then shared the good news that he didn't have to go to the Yin Yang Master Association that morning.

After hearing the news, Ye Yuqiao's face lit up with joy, and she cheered, "There will be someone to cook at noon!"

Having said that, Ye Yuqiao glanced sideways at Chen Hao with a hint of mischief and urged, "Hurry up and buy groceries, don't disturb my sleep here."

"No, I want you to come with me, otherwise I won't go!" Chen Hao shook his head, languishing on top of Ye Yuqiao.

"Get off me!" Ye Yuqiao suddenly said coldly, "Hurry up, or the queen will get angry!"

Seeing Ye Yuqiao's stern look, Chen Hao pursed his lips bitterly and grumbled, "Now you're just bullying me!"

"Of course! Go now!"

Chen Hao, left speechless, could only obediently leave home to buy groceries.

...

At this time, in Dao County.

Having escaped from the detention center the night before, the Corpse Driver Master took Wang Chuan and Zhang Yushan and first returned to his home in Dao County.

The Corpse Driver Master's home was in a secluded mountain village, halfway up a tall mountain. The entire village had no more than fifteen families, and each home was quite far apart from the others.

On a cliff halfway up the mountain, there was a dilapidated tile house—that was the Corpse Driver Master's home.

Even though he had reached his front door, the Corpse Driver Master had no intention of inviting Wang Chuan and Zhang Yushan into his home as guests. Instead, he led them up a southern path near his house.

By noon, after a treacherous and arduous trek, the three of them finally reached the peak of a mountain.

Under a towering pine tree at the summit, there was a solitary grave.

"We're here!" said the Corpse Driver Master.

Looking at the grave in front of him, Wang Chuan couldn't help asking, "Who's buried in there?"

"It's me!"

"You!" Wang Chuan looked sternly at the grave, and after a moment of stunned silence, he stepped forward and used a spell to transform the soil on the grave into weeds. Immediately, a yang wood coffin, emitting a strong yang energy, came into view.

"Thanks, you saved me the trouble of digging!" The Corpse Driver Master said with a sneer as he approached the pit holding the yang wood coffin and threw himself towards it.

"Clatter, clatter"—when the Corpse Driver Master hit the door of the yang wood coffin, he instantly turned into a pile of golden yellow sand. With the force of the impact, the Primordial Spirits and Primordial Souls attached to the sand seeped into the stone coffin.

Two minutes later, the door of the yang wooden coffin was suddenly pushed open, and a gaunt, sickly Corpse Driver Master sat up. After coughing violently twice, he extended his hand to Wang Chuan and said, "Help pull me up!"

Wang Chuan reached out his hand, pulled the Corpse Driver Master out of the yang wooden coffin, and asked while doing so, "Is this the real you? You look even worse off than I am!"

The Corpse Driver Master coughed twice more, then spat out a mouthful of phlegm streaked with fresh blood.

"My lungs have been weak since I was young, always coughing!" the Corpse Driver Master said.

"Did you lead us through mountains and rivers to this place just to return your yang spirit to your body?" Wang Chuan asked with a stern face.

The Corpse Driver Master laughed and shook his head, then opened the bamboo tube at his waist and took out a bronze broken sword, explaining, "This sword is the Blood Moon Evil Subduing Sword. To initiate the Yin and Yang Blood Exchange Spell, this sword is necessary!"

As he spoke, the Corpse Driver Master looked up at Wang Chuan with a sinister smile and said, "And you too!"

"So, what do we do next?" Wang Chuan asked.

"We go find that original zombie!" the Corpse Driver Master said. After finishing his statement, he covered his mouth and coughed repeatedly. Then, he took the bead made from an ancient rhinoceros horn out of his pocket, closed his eyes, and muttered, "It will tell us where the zombie is now."

..

Night fell.

The Corpse Driver Master, Wang Chuan, and Zhang Yushan came to Huangyin Mountain, located at the border between Huang County and Dao County. Huangyin Mountain had been known as Ghost Mountain from ancient times and was one of the origins of the earliest ghost markets. If the Kuigui Market run by the Li Family in Dao County hadn't grown, Huangyin Mountain might still be the largest ghost market in the East Country.

Because the ghost market was disrupted some time ago, and with the death of King Ning, who controlled the Netherworld beneath King Ning's Manor, many fierce ghosts feared that the newly appointed president of the Y City Yin Yang Master Association would send someone to rout them. Hence, they had all left Huangyin Mountain, fleeing to the regions outside of King Ning's Manor.

Entering Huangyin Mountain, the rhinoceros horn bead in the Corpse Driver Master's hand trembled more vigorously, and the flickering blood-red light turned into a steady glow.

"We are almost there!" the Corpse Driver Master said cheerfully, his face filled with excitement.

Although Huangyin Mountain was very gloomy and full of miasmic air, with strange and eerie screams rising from time to time, none of the three felt the slightest fear. It was only when they approached the mouth of a cave and two blood-red glows suddenly flashed from the pitch-dark cave that Zhang Yushan, the only woman, couldn't help but let out a weak scream.

"We have arrived!" the Corpse Driver Master said excitedly to Wang Chuan.

"Fire Spell, Earthly Fire!"

Wang Chuan activated his Five Elements Spells, and then clusters of orange-yellow fireballs rose at the entrance of the cave, gradually illuminating the inside of the cave.

"Aoo!" Just then, a figure rushed out of the cave like lightning...

The night grew deeper.

Y City.

Inside Chen Hao's living room.

After showering and coming out of the bathroom, Chen Hao walked straight to the front of the sofa, picked up Ye Yuqiao, who was lying on the sofa watching TV, and said with a mischievous smile, "Time to sleep!"

"I still want to watch TV for a while," Ye Yuqiao said, her gaze still fixed on the TV screen.

"But I want to watch you now!" Chen Hao said.

Ye Yuqiao looked at Chen Hao and stuck out her tongue playfully. Suddenly, her eyebrows furrowed, and her eyes shone sharply as she said, "She's here!"

"She's here?" Chen Hao looked confused, "Who are you talking about?"

At that moment, the rhinoceros horn pendant around Chen Hao's neck started to tremble intensely.
