Mo Hua placed the note on Little Tiger.
Obeying the command, Little Tiger "huffed and puffed" as it climbed upward.
In his heart, Mo Hua harbored some worries.
With so many zombies within the Corpse Mine, he didn't know how many people his Junior Brother, Sisters, and Sister Situ had mobilized.
If there weren't enough people, trouble was sure to follow.
They wouldn't be able to control Lu Chengyun, subdue the zombies or suppress the Corpse Mine, and if an uprising occurred, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But after considering every angle, Mo Hua also felt certain there wouldn't be enough people.
Their current strength was no match for Lu Chengyun.
He couldn't think of any other place to summon more cultivators from...
"Forget it, it's out of my hands now..."
Mo Hua sighed inwardly.
He had done all that he could.
What remained were matters that he, a mere Qi Refinement cultivator, had no power to change.
All he could do was to make the best effort possible and leave the rest to fate.
The most important thing now was to find a way to escape.
Mo Hua had already planned ahead:
"As soon as someone attacks the Corpse Mine and the two sides clash, causing chaos, I'll find a way to slip away!"
At that time, Lu Chengyun was too preoccupied with the formidable enemy at hand to care about me.
Hiding myself and dismantling his Formation, I'd be able to escape smoothly.
As for the Contemplation Map...
I'll see if there's a chance, but if not, so be it.
The Contemplation Map is truly a valuable item, and I've always been thinking about Zhang Quan's ancestor depicted in it.
But life is more important; I can't risk it all for a mere Contemplation Map anymore.
In this mine, with so many Zombies and the Formation of Ten Thousand Corpses harboring dozens of Iron Corpses, Zhang Quan glaring at me like a tiger stalking its prey, and Lu Chengyun harboring ill intentions...
It's better to be a coward when faced with danger at every turn.
Mo Hua nodded to himself.
After escaping, I'll make a long-term plan...
I'll slip out first, then find someone to help, and with backup, I'll sneak back in. Secretly controlling the Corpse King, maybe I can "ambush" Lu Chengyun.
Thinking it through and finding no flaws, he finally felt at ease.
But what Mo Hua didn't anticipate was that things would still go awry.
And this surprise came unexpectedly...
The next day, he was still hiding behind the sacrificial altar.
Zhang Quan was still ringing his bell to control corpses.
However, after ringing the bell, Zhang Quan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his pale face turning instantly ghastly white, yet he kept laughing as he chanted:
"Success! Success!"
Mo Hua didn't quite understand.
"What's successful? Why is Zhang Quan so ecstatic?"
Next, Zhang Quan walked straight to the front of the altar and suddenly pulled off the yellow cloth!
Mo Hua was startled; he focused his gaze and saw that under the cloth was indeed a corpse.
The corpse was ferocious and sinister, its face bearing a resemblance to that in the mural.
It was indeed the Lu Family Old Ancestor, "Capitalist Lu."
His eyes bulged with bloody streaks, ugly beyond compare, and his chest had been flayed open, forming a large hole with no heart inside.
A shiver ran through Mo Hua's heart.
He had guessed correctly.
They were indeed refining the Lu Family Old Ancestor into the Corpse King!
The bronze coffin was used for Corpse Refinement, refining the heart, while the Golden Altar was for the sacrificial ceremony of the corpse.
Zhang Quan bowed and said:
"Elder Lu, that deceiving Lu Chengyun has tricked you and harmed you, making Zombies work the mines, making you oversee such laborious work."
"This is an insult to you!"
"I, on the other hand, will make you the leader of ten thousand Zombies, the Corpse King of the Minor Wilderness State Boundary, striking fear into the cultivators of this state, ensuring your name is revered for a hundred years!"
