With no Energy Fruit and no Coffin, Zhou Zhengyan's graveyard was still safe.

After sharing his plan, Zhou Zhengyan left with the paper human, paper horse, and paper carriage, leaving behind his coffin and the body within.

Once Zhou Zhengyan left, Xiao Mu immediately began setting up.

Firstly, a Spiritual Array was set up around Zhou Zhengyan's coffin.

The Spiritual Array would surround the coffin, and if any evil absurdity approached the coffin, it would activate the Spiritual Array to trap it.

This was precisely what Xiao Mu was hoping for.

The best-case would be if the Energy Fruit matured while the evil absurdity appeared and approached the coffin to pick the fruit, he could seize the opportunity to activate the Spiritual Array and trap it.

In this case, even if the opponent was a three-level evil zombie, under the constraint of the Qingming Mirror, it could be easily killed.

Two Spiritual Arrays were set up near the coffin to trap the zombies for battle.

The reason for setting up two was to be extra cautious.

Another spiritual array was set up at the entrance of the cave.

This Spiritual Array was meant for a situation of escape, in the unlikely event it was necessary.

After setting up the Spiritual Arrays, what came next was waiting.

Waiting for the Energy Fruit to ripen, waiting for the appearance of the three-level evil zombie.

Just to be safe, Xiao Mu released the Ghost Servant in advance, so as not to be caught off guard in case the evil zombie suddenly appeared.

The first thing the Ghost Servant did upon being released was to spit out the Yin Wind Carriage immediately.

Although the Yin Wind Carriage was powerful, it was still a Magical Implement.

Magical Implements cannot be stored inside one's body.

In this respect, the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor was the same.

This was one of the dilemmas of the Postnatal Mortal Realm. After all, the realm of the current world was too low, and various treasures hadn't yet reached the level of storage.

Not to mention the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor and the Yin Wind Carriage, even the Lifebound Lamp of Monk Qing Yan, a higher level entity that far exceeded the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor and the Yin Wind Carriage, couldn't be stored either?

As a result, the Ghost Servant could only swallow the Yin Wind Carriage and carry it in its stomach.

Luckily, it was a Yin Spirit whose form could shift. This method was relatively simple for it. If it were a regular human mutant, it would be impossible to do so.

After releasing the Yin Wind Carriage, the Ghost Servant stood directly on top of it.

Whoo Whoo!

The Yin Wind Carriage automatically absorbed the surrounding Yin wind, trembling non-stop, as if it could move at high speed at any moment.

"What a great treasure!"

Wang Tong looked enviously at the Yin Wind Carriage under the Ghost Servant's feet.

In fact, it was not just Wang Tong, Zhao Yan and Xiao Mu were equally envious.

This Yin Wind Carriage was too incredible. Apart from its cool design, the most crucial thing was its speed. At full throttle, the astonishing speed was far faster than a car, comparable to an airplane.

It was fair to say that with the Yin Wind Carriage, there was no need to catch a ride to any place.

Unfortunately, the Yin Wind Carriage was a Netherworld Treasure and could only be used by Yin Spirits.

However, it was not completely without benefits. At least, with the Yin Wind Carriage, the Ghost Servant's support capabilities were greatly increased, and everyone's safety became more guaranteed.

The Energy Fruit was slowly ripening, emitting an increasingly strong aroma.

A sudden howl came from a distance, heavy footsteps were approaching, and a terrifying aura began to spread.

Everyone detected it immediately, not only Xiao Mu, but also Zhao Yan and Wang Tong.

The three-level evil zombie was coming. From this terrifying atmosphere, everyone could easily infer that the one rushing here must be the three-level evil zombie.

Unconsciously, everyone became tense.

"Quick!"

Xiao Mu quickly cast three Armor Amulets, protecting himself, Zhao Yan, and Wang Tong.

"Emperor's Seal, appear!"

Following up, he released the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor.

The Seal of the Heavenly Emperor hovered above Xiao Mu's head, began to spin, slightly shook, and golden glow dispersed, filling the earth with a strange fragrance.

The ground, surprisingly, seemed to show signs of some life resurrecting, accompanied by faint, rustling sounds.

These were some frail creatures, perhaps some kind of plants, or possibly a type of moss.

In any case, under the vision released by the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, these weak plant organisms showed signs of growth.

After the second variation, the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor became even stronger. Not just the vision had been enhanced, the emperor's might that it exerted, capable of suppressing all living beings, also became more intense.

This was Xiao Mu's confidence — without the further enhanced Peach Wood Sword and the Seal of the Heavenly Emperor, he would not dare to face a third-rank evil zombie relying only on the people at hand.

After all, the strength of a third-rank evil zombie was stronger than the red Blood Demon, making it even more difficult to handle.

Regardless of the type of evolution, each time a realm is elevated, the strength increases significantly. Therefore, generally speaking, it's impossible to challenge across realms. The gap becomes increasingly difficult to bridge as one advances to the later stage.

"Roar!"

The third-rank evil zombie obviously sensed the presence of people in the mountain cave and immediately let out an angry roar as it approached.

It had regarded the Energy Fruit as its own and had vowed to kill anyone who dared to contest it.

In the next moment, the third-rank evil zombie rushed in furiously and entered the cave.

Compared to the second-rank evil zombie that Xiao Mu and his team had dealt with before, this third-rank evil zombie surpassed the former in terms of momentum alone.

Apart from that, what was more noticeable was the Evil Horn on the forehead of the third-rank evil zombie.

Three stunning Evil Horns were distributed irregularly on its forehead, forming an irregular triangle. Each Evil Horn was much larger than that of a second-rank evil zombie.

Rolling demonic energy was radiating from the Evil Horns.

The blood-red demonic energy permeated around the evil zombie, creating a dreadful blood mist that, coupled with the terrifying appearance of the third-rank evil zombie, induced fear at first glance.

In addition to the two extremely sharp and horrifying black-red claws, the blood-red pupils of the evil zombie have a reddish flame, emitting several inches from the eyes.

This was the Blood Light, formed by evil energy condensed from the evil zombie's gaze, which was especially terrifying.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be scared stiff by such a hideous and fierce image.

Even though they were prepared, upon seeing such a terrible sight, Xiao Mu and the others couldn't help but gasp.

"Roar!"

Seeing Xiao Mu and the others for the first time, the third-rank evil zombie was not angry, but instead let out an excited roar.

Every great expert, be it a martial artist, a Taoism master, a Buddhist monk, a Confucian scholar, or even a mutant, a western witch, a mage, a Holy Knight, a Shadow Assassin, was an unparalleled supplement for the evil absurdity.

This third-level existence is even more nutritious than the Energy Fruit.

So much so that, at the sight of Xiao Mu and others for the first time, the third-rank evil zombie immediately roared in excitement.

"Roar! Roar!"

The third-rank evil zombie roared and rushed towards Xiao Mu and the others, completely ignoring the Energy Fruit.

Wang Tong and Zhao Yan both became anxious.

Only Xiao Mu was calm and collected, gazing intently at the rushing third-rank evil zombie.

The moment the third-rank evil zombie entered the Spiritual Array, Xiao Mu suddenly pointed his Peach Wood Sword forward, while pushing his right palm out.

"Array rise, mirror reveal!"

The spiritual array rose up and the Qingming Mirror appeared!

The spiritual array transformed into a golden light wall, spreading around, injecting all energy into the Qingming Mirror.

The Qingming Mirror shot out a misty green light, instantly immobilizing the third-rank evil zombie.

"Kill!"

With a point from Xiao Mu's peach wood sword, the Ghost Servant was the first to charge forward.
