The group of people disguised as corpses in front of them must also be employed by the town mayor and his son. They must know that transporting opium is a serious crime, so they dare not make any rash moves under any circumstances.
"Young Master Su..."
Uncle Nine crept up from behind, glanced at the corpse-driving team at the foot of the wall, then looked at Su Feng and asked in a low voice, "Young Master Su, what are you doing? What if we're discovered..."
"No," Su Feng said boldly. "Uncle Jiu, why are you so cautious? These are just a bunch of corpses, what's there to be afraid of? They can't understand what we're saying, can they?"
Uncle Nine was stunned for a moment before he realized what Su Feng meant by those words.
"Oh dear, speaking of which, I seem to have heard some old masters say that as long as you follow the sound of the magic bell, the corpse can make any movement, right?"
Su Feng crossed his arms, feigning curiosity, and slowly approached the "horde of corpses," examining them carefully from all angles. "What do you think, Uncle Jiu?"
"Ah...uh...that's right." Uncle Nine's face twitched, and he had no choice but to answer with a forced smile.
He already had a vague idea of what Su Feng was going to do.
I never expected them to be so bold; the dragon slayer might appear at any moment.
"Uncle Jiu, may I borrow your magic bell?" Su Feng smiled and reached out to take the magic bell from Uncle Jiu's waist.
Facing the "horde of zombies," Su Feng smiled and quickly shook the magic bell in his hand.
Ring ring ring——
The crisp sound of a bell rang out instantly in the backyard, echoing in the deep night.
Uncle Nine was alarmed; if Tu Long heard this, it would be troublesome.
But Su Feng paid no heed to any of that. As he shook the magic bell, he gave the command, "Jump!"
The horde of zombies seemed a beat slow, but they still followed Su Feng's command and jumped up and down.
"Interesting, interesting." Su Feng's playful spirit was piqued, and he grinned. "Again! Jump harder! Jump as high as you can!"
Ring ring ring!
Da da da--
It swayed and jumped, as if forming a unique pattern.
The horde of zombies bounced around on the spot countless times, and several of them seemed to get tired, their pace noticeably slowing down.
However, Su Feng did not slow down; instead, he increased the speed of ringing the bell.
Just then, a square box wrapped tightly in oil paper fell out from under the robe of one of the "corpses"!
歘!
In an instant, the horde of corpses froze on the spot, completely ignoring the bell.
"Hehe—" Su Feng laughed even harder.
The fox's tail has finally been revealed.
Just then, the back door of the church was pushed open with a bang, and the dragon slayer rushed out from inside, looking ferocious.
"What are you doing?!"
He roared, unleashing his full power.
A domineering aura burst forth from behind him, like tentacles reaching for the sky, which was extremely awe-inspiring!
Uncle Nine was stunned by the sudden aura and involuntarily took a few steps back. Only Su Feng stood still, unfazed by the powerful force.
Tu Long bared his teeth, his face filled with indescribable rage, staring intently at Su Feng before turning his gaze to Uncle Jiu.
Suddenly, his brows furrowed. "It's you?!"
The two brothers reunited, but unexpectedly, it was on this kind of occasion.
Uncle Nine pursed his lips and sighed, "Junior brother, we already know."
"You know nothing!" Tu Long roared, and just as he was about to drive away the two uninvited guests, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the corpses at the feet of the group of corpses beside him, and his expression changed drastically.
shhhhh--
Just then, someone suddenly stepped forward from the horde of corpses, peeled off the talisman stuck to his forehead, wiped away the white powder smeared on his face, revealing the complexion of a living person.
"Everyone, stop pretending, we've been discovered."
The man cursed as he bent down to pick up the tobacco that had fallen to the ground and stuffed it back into his clothes. "Damn it, we were discovered all along. We've been fooled by this kid for ages!"
"Scarface, what do we do now?"
The others behind him also removed the talismans from their foreheads and moved closer to the man who had spoken. Clearly, this man was the leader of this "horde of corpses".
The man, true to his name, had a long scar on his face, running from the end of his eyebrow to the corner of his mouth, spanning half his face. He looked fierce and menacing.
"Scarface! What are you doing?" Tu Long was clearly surprised by Scarface's unauthorized actions and said coldly.
But when his scheme was exposed, Scarface got tired of pretending and laughed instead, "Master Dragon Slayer, you don't need to bother with the rest."
After all, they are just business partners.
Using the name of the True Taoist who slays dragons, he disguised himself as a corpse-driving team to transport opium, thinking he could fool everyone. However, as he approached the end, a young man discovered his deception.
Scarface took off his heavy coat, pulled out two curved knives from behind his back, and sneered through gritted teeth, "Kid, you had a lot of fun just now, huh? Let's see if you'll still be laughing later!"
In an instant, the dozen or so men behind Scarface drew their weapons in unison, their cold glints radiating a heavy killing intent.
Tu Long frowned as he watched, wanting to speak up and stop him, but then thought better of it.
Partnering with Scar to transport opium was inherently risky; if discovered by the security forces, they could be shot.
What's more, the person who discovered this is his senior brother whom he hasn't seen in a long time!
Such a scene made him hesitate. Handing it over to Scarface might be a good idea, to use someone else to kill him and get rid of this big trouble.
Thinking it over, Tu Long slowly took a few steps back, tacitly approving of Scarface and the others' next actions.
"Young Master Su, what should we do now?"
Uncle Nine swallowed hard, leaned close to Su Feng, and asked softly.
"What can we do?" Su Feng remained calm as always, smiling casually. "Since they want to make a move, then let them make a move."
"Tsk..." Uncle Nine clicked his tongue in embarrassment.
Fighting with others was not his original intention.
The Taoist arts learned from Maoshan are not used on living people, but rather for exorcising demons and protecting the righteous path.
But the current situation seems to have made it impossible for him to maintain that unique sense of justice.
They could only take out the peach wood sword, intending to finish the battle quickly.
"Brothers..." Scarface, like a hunting dog, slowly crouched down and sneered, "Don't leave any survivors, kill them all!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen or so people rushed forward.
He wielded his longsword and curved blade with unrestrained abandon, his killing intent boiling.
They were already desperate criminals, so they were mentally prepared to do this kind of business...
Human life is worthless in their eyes!

Chapter 151 The Seal is Broken! Terrifying Power Descends!
The commotion in the church's backyard woke the missionaries who were in their dormitories.
Father Wu carried the oil lamp and hurried to the back window to check the situation outside.
Right now, a fierce battle is raging outside.
The sounds of swords clashing and roars filled the air!
"What happened, Father Wu?"
The missionaries standing at the back asked the question tremblingly.
Father Wu's expression was grave. He slammed the curtains shut, turned around, and ordered, "You all go down to the basement and hide right now!"
I never expected something like this to happen on the very first night the church opened!
Those men outside, brandishing knives and swords, looked no different from bandits, and their purpose remained a mystery.
But regardless, as a priest, he had to protect the safety of others.
"Father, what are you going to do?"
"Hey, don't worry about me, go hide! No one is allowed to come out without my permission!" Father Wu instructed, and hurriedly ran to the front door, intending to lock all the doors and windows near the church to prevent criminals from breaking in.
At the same time, several missionaries obeyed orders and hurriedly ran into the inner passage.
They accidentally discovered this basement while cleaning today; it's right below the chapel!
After descending the steps, the four of them entered the narrow and cramped underground space one after the other.
This is a strange space. The walls are dark brown, like blood that has been splashed on and dried, making it look somewhat eerie.
It was completely empty inside, not even a speck of dust or a single cobweb...
But its advantage lies in its secrecy.
"Close the door quickly."
One of the preachers gave the order, and then the group worked together to close the heavy stone door.
He didn't know what was happening outside, but from Father Wu's panicked expression, he could roughly guess that trouble was brewing.
Therefore, hiding in this place is the safest option.
"Will something happen to the priest?"
"Yeah, wouldn't it be a bad idea for us to just hide like this?"
The others were so anxious they had tears in their eyes, filled with worry and concern for Father Wu.
