Zombies did not have souls, but the controlled zombies would have the soul imprint of the controller. This soul imprint was used to subdue and control zombies. As long as there was a soul mark, Lin Changqing's new pet, the [Requiem Bell], could effectively attack.
Ever since Little Bell discovered the zombies, other than continuing to secretly absorb the negative energy in the cave, it had also been studying the zombies.
Lin Changqing had fought with the zombies for such a long time to buy time for Little Bell to study.
At this moment, Little Bell used its powerful talents, the Soul Suppression and Spirit Assimilation, and mental power to successfully crack the secrets of the zombies' control.
Little Bell didn't need any cultivation techniques. Just by relying on its innate ability, it had a way to break the soul mark on the zombie's body and do it according to its rules. It would imprint its soul mark on the zombie's body and control it.
Lin Changqing only appeared so calm because he had a trump card as powerful as Little Bell. With Little Bell, a pet that specialized in dealing with ghosts and zombies, Shuling could only rely on its strength to suppress its enemies. There was no need for it to attack anymore.
————————-
After receiving Lin Changqing's order, Little Bell gently vibrated. Its powerful mental power and unique attack methods instantly shattered the soul imprints on all the zombies in the cave! Immediately after, Little Bell's more secretive and tenacious soul mark is attached to all the zombies.
"Cough cough cough…!" The soul imprint on the zombie's body was violently destroyed by Little Bell. The person in the dark coughed violently and could not help but sound in the cave.
Even if the soul left the body, as long as it could be retracted, it would not be harmed. The soul marks on the zombies that Lin Changqing and the others had killed were all retracted by the person controlling the zombies.
Therefore, no matter how many zombies Lin Changqing and the others killed, they could not hurt the person in the dark at all. The destruction of the soul imprint could cause extremely great damage to the soul. A person's soul being injured was much more terrifying than their body being injured!
Ordinary martial artists did not have the means to attack the soul at all. Little Bell's attack just now had caught the person in the dark off guard.
"Who is it! Who is plotting against me! Cough, cough…!" With a furious shout from the person in the dark, all the zombies stopped attacking and retreated from the battle.
Captain Feng and the Feng family's private soldiers, who were already in a very bad state, were also shocked by this change. After seeing the situation on the battlefield, they were overjoyed.
"Leader Lin, did your benefactor make a move?" Captain Feng couldn't care less that there were still people spying on them in the dark and shouted.
"That should be the case! Other than the benefactor, neither of us have the ability to do so." Lin Changqing replied.
"Those zombies seem to have lost control. Let's rush out!" Captain Feng didn't know that the zombies had already been controlled by Lin Changqing. He saw that a large number of zombies had gathered on the back path and suggested to Lin Changqing.
Lin Changqing didn't say anything and pretended to listen.
"Captain Feng, the experts under the benefactor have arrived. He told me through voice transmission that he has already controlled all the zombies. The person in the dark is nothing to worry about. He's a little curious about this cave and wants to go in and take a look. This is an opportunity. I want to go in with him.
"Do you have the guts to fight? Let's go in together and investigate this place. It's obviously targeting your Feng Family's nest. We'll make a great contribution and fight for a future in the Feng Family." Lin Changqing was silent for a moment before suddenly speaking to Captain Feng.
"You two brats are playing tricks! What benefactor! Call him out if you have the ability!" The person in the dark heard Lin Changqing and Captain Feng's shout the entire time and could not help but interrupt.
Lin Changqing and Captain Feng ignored the person in the dark. Lin Changqing looked at Captain Feng from afar.
Captain Feng hesitated for a moment before nodding solemnly. "Alright! My subordinates are seriously injured and are no longer suitable for fighting. Let them go out first. I'll accompany you in."
In the end, he chose to continue exploring the cave alone with Lin Changqing. From the words of the person in the dark just now, it could be heard that the mastermind behind the zombies was indeed targeting the Feng family.
They only used the disappearance of the people in Tanmu Dong Village as an excuse to ask the government to send Lin Changqing to investigate the case. The Feng family also wanted to use the government to intimidate the forces that were secretly targeting them.
Now that Lin Changqing had heard the truth, he only needed to return to the county city to report. The rest was up to the Feng family and the government.
Based on Captain Feng's understanding of the government, the government still had to hand the matter over to the Feng family.
With Captain Feng's status in the Feng Family, he definitely did not know the ins and outs of this matter. However, as long as one was a smart person, they would understand after linking the cause and effect.
Captain Feng had already thought it through. Instead of being the person who understood the situation the most and being sent by the family to be the vanguard, it was better to take advantage of the presence of the mysterious leader of the Knife Gang and follow him in to investigate the situation.
If he could successfully obtain important information about this hostile force against the family, he would have made a great contribution to the family. His status in the Feng family would increase further in the future.
This was the goal he had dreamed of!
"No problem. With these zombies paving the way, we don't need them to take the risk."
In the end, Lin Changqing didn't choose to send the Feng family's private soldiers to their deaths. Naturally, he had to give them a favor. These Feng family's private soldiers might be useful at some point.
Lin Changqing asked Little Bell to control the zombies to make way and let the Feng family's private soldiers retreat out of the cave.
Captain Feng saw that the Feng family's private soldiers had successfully retreated, so he came over to meet up with Lin Changqing.
"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Feng Chengwu. A descendant of the Feng Family's branch family, and is now the captain of the Feng Family's guards." Feng Chengwu's expression did not soften in front of his private soldiers. He introduced himself to Lin Changqing again. Originally, he didn't even tell Lin Changqing his real name.
"Captain Feng, you can call me Lin Changqing. I'm just an ordinary member of the Little Knife Gang's White Tiger Hall. If we can successfully return, let's have a good chat!"
Lin Changqing sensed the change in Feng Chengwu's attitude and wanted to rope him in.
"Brother Lin is young and promising. The gang is only a temporary shelter. Your identity there can't be taken seriously." Feng Chengwu could no longer call Lin Changqing leader. Lin Changqing had already announced his identity. If he called him that again, it would be ironic.
In Feng Chengwu's eyes, Lin Changqing had already become a lucky person with the help of a mysterious expert. As long as there were no major changes, his future achievements were destined to be extraordinary.
Even if Lin Changqing had a powerful wolfhound, in the eyes of these descendants of wealthy families, it was still not as useful as the help of nobles.
Lin Changqing didn't say anything else. He only hinted that the expert behind him had begun to urge them.
Feng Chengwu tactfully shut his mouth and followed Lin Changqing into the depths of the cave with his saber.
The zombies that were originally enemies had all become obedient scouts and left and right guards.
