Zhang Qijie and Qu Bamei turned everyone in Chen Village into zombies, practicing the Heavenly Corpse Great Technique, transforming the entire village into a massive array. The zombies, hacked to death by a young swordsman, nurtured by increasingly dense corpse warmth, were quickly able to recombine and resurrect, crawling up from the ground.
Shi Feiyang, witnessing such a tragedy unfold before his eyes, had already sealed the area inside and out with Immortal Law and controlled it remotely. The two in the village faintly sensed something was amiss, but no matter how thoroughly they investigated, they couldn't figure out the cause. As the Heavenly Corpse Great Technique progressed, their periods of lucidity became shorter, leaving them without the energy to explore the root cause. They awaited the complete mastery of the Heavenly Corpse Great Technique before leading the horde of zombies to Sunflower Valley to initiate a massacre for revenge.
