Chapter Eleven: One Stone, Two Birds

  In the Yu Ling Ying Suan technique, it was Zhang Wu who heard this. During this time, Zhou Fu Tong's expression was hasty and he was often away from home for one or two months. Generally, when he came back, he would stay for a few days before leaving again. Zhou Liang was relatively obedient and numb to him, so he didn't mind the situation. However, for the charming fox spirit Zhao Ma, it was uncomfortable. She had mentioned this many times in their intimate moments. Just over a month ago, Zhang Wu bought a small house near the courtyard, which they intended to use as a new secret meeting place. Unfortunately, they hadn't had a chance to use it yet. Zhou Fu Tong returned home, and this time, he stayed for a relatively long period of seven days.

  Zhang Wu and Zhao Ma didn't take Zhou Liang seriously, but when facing Zhou Fu Tong, they were terrified. Zhou Fu Tong had even specifically scolded Zhao Ma before, and for him, it was just a simple sentence, but it scared the two of them to death. Even after Zhou Fu Tong left, for more than half a month, they behaved themselves and didn't dare approach, occasionally sneaking around in the courtyard, but not many times, and were much more restrained.

  Now, Zhou Futong has been away for half a month, and the two hungry people finally feel that it was a false alarm, and they can't help but go to the courtyard to steal a kiss.

  It's truly a double happiness, Zhou Liang who had just broken through, was bursting with energy from head to toe. He carefully exited the door and used his yuan ling mapping technique to suspend Zhang Wu 300 zhang away, under the cover of the slightly dense streets in Yangzhou City. Even if Zhang Wu was being extremely cautious, he wouldn't have noticed a thing.

  He just stared at him from a distance, until Zhang Wu entered the courtyard, and Zhou Liang finally stopped in his tracks. The demon was indeed a demon, and desire was the fundamental reason why they could not go further, and it was not a good omen.

  In the small courtyard, Zhao Ma, who had been waiting here early, saw Zhang Wu's arrival and called out in delight. The sound of their voices was incessant. Zhou Liang silently watched until the two rolled into a ball, then coldly smiled and turned to head towards the west gate.

  Yangzhou city is not small, but there are only four gates in the southeast, west and north. Here is closer to the west gate, because it's night, Yangzhou city gate is closed tightly, only two or three soldiers are sleeping there, defense is sparse.

  The tall city wall can provide safety for the people inside, but it's not a problem for Zhou Liang. In just one year, without any training or practice, he has gained incredible strength. He found a relatively quiet spot and with a burst of energy, he jumped up several dozen feet high, kicked his foot against the city wall, and after two or three bounces, he stood on top of the wall.

  The city wall, as the strongest defensive fortification in the cold weapon era, was almost every city's possession. Yangzhou, being a prosperous place, had not only high and grand walls, but also extremely wide ones, with a height of 15 zhang (about 45 meters). On top of the wall, two horse-drawn carriages could run side by side. However, at this moment, there wasn't a single soldier on the broad city wall; it was only near the city gate that two soldiers were found, and they were still dozing off. Heaven knows if an enemy came, whether it would be easy to sneak in undetected.

  Looking back at the city, the deep night of Yangzhou City had no lights, as if a huge beast was lying there. In the distant place, who would have thought that two monsters were having fun? Zhang Wu and Zhao Ma stole pleasure, both of them being demons with extraordinary physical strength, it wouldn't take two or three hours to finish, this point Zhou Liang was very clear, he had to set up a trap for them, there was still plenty of time.

  Zhou Liang didn't know where Liu Shu's lair was, for over a year they had been heading west every time. As Liu Shu's true form was that of an undead creature, only dark and gloomy places were suitable for him. The first place to consider in the western regions was the Luanyu Gang, but this could be ruled out immediately. Last year when the three evil spirits opened the tomb of Donghua Emperor in Beihai, if Liu Shu had been present, he would have probably been killed by the three evil spirits. Da Xiong, the ruthless and merciless old Daoist, had lain dormant in Yangzhou City for 20 years just to wait for the opportunity to open the tomb of Donghua Emperor. Everything was well-prepared, and no one else could gain any advantage except for Zhou Liang, who was an unexpected visitor from another world.

  It's not a chaotic tomb, but the yin energy is extremely heavy, suitable for zombies to stay, only Xishan. Zhou Liang nodded, and flew up like a big bird, under the cover of night, slowly landed below, one rise and fall, across the five-zhang-wide moat, fell outside the city.

  Xishan is over 30 miles away from Yangzhou City, due to its favorable feng shui, it has been used as a cemetery by wealthy families in the city. Many ancestral graves of these families have been relocated here. I wonder which family's ancestral grave this old corpse has occupied.

  Lock onto the direction, and with a burst of speed like a galloping horse, powerful strength not only enhances attack power but also provides an all-around boost. With one foot down, in the next moment, you'll be three zhang away, with a large stride and amplitude. 30 li is just half a cup of tea's time, and even your waist won't ache or your breath get short.

  Looking at the handsome Xishan mountain, fireflies and ghost fires are arrayed, in the thick deep night, exceptionally somewhat eerie.

  Standing under the big tree in front of the mountain, Zhou Liangdao said: "Indeed, it's right here!"

  The air is filled with the stench of zombies. Zombies, unlike ghosts, must hide in extremely yin places every night when the yin energy is thick, otherwise they will reveal their true form. The smell of zombies cannot be concealed either. This kind of smell indicates that at least a sixth-level zombie is present.

  Found Liu Shu's location, Zhou Liang was slightly surprised. The Yangzhou Dao Gate style is subtle, but it is also one of the nine states in the world and a very rich city. A bear spirit, a zombie, and a fox spirit came here openly without being discovered by the Dao Gate. Why is that? Is the control power of the Dao Gate over the nine states so weak?

  It wasn't until later that Zhou Liang realized it wasn't their own strength, but rather the three demons, including Zhou Futong, who had good luck and were connected to the North Sea Three Evils. They spent 20 years setting up a plan to lure out the Taoist sects in Yangzhou, ultimately succeeding in opening the tomb of Emperor Donghua. Otherwise, even just the spiritual energy fluctuations from the array would have attracted many Taoists. Zhou Liang took away the greatest treasure from Emperor Donghua's tomb, but as the Heavenly Emperor, even leaving behind a tiny bit of something would be enough to drive worldly cultivators crazy. Not to mention the seven or eight ancient secret treasures that had greatly increased the strength of the North Sea Three Evils. This was also why the North Sea Three Evils didn't suspect anything, thinking that with these treasures, they had already reached the limit of Emperor Donghua's power.

  He carefully chose a secluded spot, Zhou Liang unreservedly released his divine sense, sweeping the entire Western Mountain in an instant. The powerful divine sense burst out thoroughly, and it was as if he had plowed through the Western Mountain once. Even Liu Shu, who was in closed-door cultivation, would be startled awake by such a divine sense. After being startled awake, what he thought of first must have been self-preservation.

  After doing all this, Zhou Liang didn't have any lingering thoughts and directly headed towards Yangzhou City, taking big strides and running swiftly like a fast horse.

  The zombie moved slowly and cautiously, and the divine sense he had just released was at least a three-layered divine sense. With such a gap in strength, it wouldn't take half a cup of tea time for the zombie to not dare come out. This amount of time was enough for him to return to Yangzhou City. As for the rest, everything went smoothly and logically.

  Before long, the massive silhouette of Yangzhou City appeared before his eyes. He found a secluded corner that was unknown to others and, as usual, quietly entered the city without startling anyone, like a ghost or a spirit.

  When Zhou Liang entered Yangzhou City, a yellow and red cloud came from the west towards Yangzhou City. He smiled slightly, and indeed, the zombies woke up. First, they were on guard against others' attacks. When there was no movement at all, they would find that their wives had disappeared. In the middle of the night, their wives were not at home, where could they go? His wife was not a virtuous wife and good mother.

  It seems that Old Liu is really concerned about Zhao Ma, this foxy lady. As soon as he found out he wasn't there, he directly came over here. The Shocking Path is just for show; Zombie Old Liu drove his demonic cloud and rushed to Zhou Liang's home. At this time, he didn't have the appearance of a hunchbacked servant from before. He was almost two zhang tall, with a black and messy body, a pale face, and golden light in his eyes. Zhou Liang had already lain down on his bed early. The bear demon's aura was extremely thick; whether it was there or not, the zombie knew at a glance. Next, in a nearby courtyard not far from here, the old bear's demonic energy and the fox's seductive energy were intertwined together. Zombie Liu Shu's face suddenly turned bright red as he loudly shouted: "You damned fat bear, how dare you bully my Old Liu!"

  A zombie with a jealous fire raging in its mind, suddenly transformed into a dark cloud, and rushed towards the house like a strong gust of wind or lightning. At the same time, three green flames condensed on its body, then it violently blasted towards the house.
