"Indeed!" Lu Chengyun nodded.
Zhang Quan's face was full of anger.
Lu Chengyun glanced at Zhang Quan indifferently, "What do you want to do?"
Zhang Quan suppressed his anger, his eyes brimming with ambition, as he said coldly:
"What else can we do?"
"With the Corpse King lying dormant, and the Walking Corpses mining, isn't it just like letting a fierce sword gather dust?"
"Once the Corpse King emerges, it should naturally command the horde, be invincible, and dominate the state boundary!"
"With the Corpse King, with so many Iron Corpses, and with so many Walking Corpses."
"The entire Minor Wilderness State Boundary, no, perhaps even several neighboring state boundaries, which power could be our opponent?"
"Wherever the Zombie army goes, corpses will float everywhere."
"Those who resist, annihilate them utterly!"
"Without any effort, we'll first occupy South Yue City, then step by step dominate the Minor Wilderness State Boundary, and gradually nibble away at the neighboring Second-Grade Prefecture Border..."
"We refine corpses and kill, then kill and refine more corpses!"
"Round and round it goes, we will endlessly expand our strength!"
"We could use this to establish a powerful Demon Corpse Sect, glorifying our ancestors, unequaled in one realm."
"By then, you and I will be the Ancestral Masters who established the sect, so what's the position of a mere Family Head to us?"
...
As if envisioning this scene, Zhang Quan's face turned crimson, his eyes red with blood vessels, his expression excited.
However, Lu Chengyun remained unmoved, instead letting out a cold laugh and scoffing:
"Naive!"
Zhang Quan's face darkened as he looked at Lu Chengyun with hostility.
Lu Chengyun didn't care, instead he spoke indifferently:
"Your Zhang Family, although it has inherited the Corpse Path for generations, with some renown, is in the end a small clan, passing down from one generation to the next, a few people at best, which is why your vision is limited, and your pattern is small..."
"Dominate the state boundary, establish a sect, build a Demon Sect?" Lu Chengyun showed a mocking expression, "You think this is child's play?"
"A single Second-Grade Corpse King and a few dozen Iron Corpses, what dominance can they claim?"
"Do you think the Taoist Court is a vegetarian?"
"The Taoist Court unifies the Nine States, some Demon Path giants that have existed for ten thousand years still choose to hide and secretly plan, not daring to come forward. With our family's humble base, and these first and second grade zombies, what state can we take, what dominance can we claim?"
"Are we worthy?"
Zhang Quan's face turned blue, then red.
Lu Chengyun shook his head and sighed:
"You only know about corpse refinement, knowing so little about the Cultivation World, not understanding the strength of the Taoist Court."
"If we act in secret, establish a Corpse Mine, raise some Walking Corpses, without showing off or leaking our presence, the Taoist Court might not bother with us."
"Even if they want to intervene, they might not be willing to pay the price, to clash with us to the point where both fish and net are destroyed."
"But if you make a big show of it, waving the banner of inheriting the Corpse Path, of establishing a Demon Sect, then you would have crossed the Taoist Court's red line!"
"The Taoist Court would stop at nothing to annihilate us!"
"Once word gets out, not three days would pass before hundreds of Foundation Cultivation Taoist Soldiers would arrive, bearing silver spears, clad in golden armor, in vast formation, coming to our doorstep to kill."
"They would utterly destroy you and me, along with all the Walking Corpses and Iron Corpses in this mine, reducing them to ashes!"
"Forget one Corpse King; even ten would be useless!"
"A Corpse King is just that, not a Big Demon, Great Ghost, or some Grand Calamity that comes once in a millennium. With what right and boldness could we provoke the Taoist Court and cross their taboo?"
"Are you stupid, or do you think you have too long a life?"
Lu Chengyun spoke without a hint of politeness.
```
Zhang Quan was unable to utter a word, feeling a surge of anger bottled up inside him, he indignantly said,
"But we can't just… only do mining..."
Lu Chengyun's gaze darkened. "That's why I say your vision is too limited."
Zhang Quan was taken aback.
Lu Chengyun let out a cold laugh, "What's wrong with mining?"
"What do you exchange from mining?"
"You exchange for Spirit Stones!"
