Corpse Retriever.

Chapter 355

“Brother Zhao, our ancestors can’t protect us on the river, and especially here, we probably don’t want to meet each other.”

Unless, of course, that ancestor is willing to die for his juniors.

If that's all there is to it, then it's relatively simple.

But most likely, death alone wouldn't be enough here. Any transgression would also affect the families and sects behind them, and the losses would be immeasurable.

Zhao Yi smiled and said:

"It's alright, my ancestors like to send me to my death."

Tao Zhuming cupped his hands and said, "What I admire most about Brother Zhao is his carefree spirit."

Zhao Yi also cupped his hands in return and said, "Brother Tao, you flatter me."

Tao Zhuming gave Zhao Yi a deep look, waved his hand, and left with the people behind him.

The Yu family ancestral home is a huge treasure trove. Although it has been ruined and destroyed by those beasts over the years, you can still find the items or heirlooms you need if you search carefully.

Liang Yan: "Boss, did he really just happen to be passing by?"

Zhao Yi shook his head: "He deliberately left the team because he was worried that his presence would be inconvenient if his elders wanted to intervene. As for him coming here... he specifically wanted to see me."

Liang Yan: "Look at you?"

Zhao Yi: "He had the thought of killing me, but it wasn't strong enough."

Liang Li looked proud and said, "As expected of someone from the legitimate Dragon King family, they have good taste."

Zhao Yi turned to look at Chen Jing. The wild boar demon was even more ferocious than expected, and Chen Jing hadn't even absorbed half of it yet.

Xu Ming: "Boss, has that person come in?"

Zhao Yi: "They must have gotten in."

Liang Li: "But we're not far from the Yu family's gate, and we haven't made any effort to hide the sounds of A Jing absorbing essence blood. If that person came in, why didn't they join us?"

Zhao Yi: "If he can't even get through the door, then this guy surnamed Li might as well give up on his career in the underworld. Maybe he came in through the back door instead of the main door?"

Liang Li: "The Yu family ancestral home has a back door?"

Zhao Yi: "Who knows?"

Liang Li: "Should we go find that person?"

Zhao Yi:

"What are you looking for?"

This is a treasure trove, a dazzling world.

But the more 'rich' a place is, the greater the danger it is.

I also covet the opportunities, techniques, and tools here, but I simply won't compete for them.

Let them try to seize it, let them rob it. There are many teams coming in today, and they all think they are geniuses.

Ha, wait until this wave is over and you'll see. I bet no more than a handful of teams will make it out alive.

What you eat is what you own. Our goal for this trip is simply to eat with A-Jing and make sure she's full.

You can't exactly drag that guy surnamed Li over to have dinner with A-Jing, can you?
In that case, who will complete this wave?
The reason we're so complacent here is because that guy surnamed Li is also caught up in this wave. I believe he can eventually resolve it, otherwise we're all doomed!

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

Zhao Yi slapped Chen Jing on the back of the head:
"Why are you nodding? Focus on sucking your cigarette."

Chen Jing continued to focus intently on inhaling deeply.

Zhao Yi took out his pipe, rubbed it between his fingers to light the tobacco, took a puff, slowly exhaled, and muttered to himself:

"So this is what it felt like to watch those geniuses of the same generation fall one by one in front of you, as described in the ancestral notes."

"Wouldn't our ancestors be just like me, sending others to their deaths while they reaped the benefits?"

Zhao Yi reached out and patted his forehead, reflecting on himself:
"I deserve to die. How could I think of my ancestors like that and slander their great image?"

Then, Zhao Yi moved his hand away, a half-smile on his face:
"Hey, what if my ancestor really did look like me?"

……

Ming Yuwan did not move quickly, attempting to shake off the many teams around her.

Because she knew these people wouldn't give her that chance.

If I take any extreme actions, it could very likely trigger them to take direct action.

This meant that ever since she entered the Yu family, wherever Ming Yuwan went, it was as if she was leading an entire class on an autumn outing.

As Yu Dibei walked, he scanned his surroundings. All he could see were broken walls and ruins, with the blood and corpses of demonic beasts scattered everywhere.

Even so, one can still imagine the glory days of the Yu family.

Ming Yuwan looked at Yu Dibei and said:

"Northern Di, this is where you were meant to be born."

Yu Dibei: "If people could be born here, then I wouldn't have been born."

Ming Yuwan frowned.

She disliked the young man's direct rebuttal.

Although, what he said was indeed correct.

If the Yu family were still the same Yu family, they wouldn't have gone outside to seek offspring in that way.

Ming Yuwan: "Although this place is a bit dirty and messy right now, don't worry, we will help you clean it up after this wave is over."

Then, everyone and everything in your village, from people to animals, will be able to escape their cages and move here to live. Wouldn't that be wonderful? What do you think?

Yu Dibei: "I don't think it's necessary to move from a smaller cage to a larger one. A smaller cage actually makes me feel safer."

Ming Yuwan noticed that something was wrong with Yu Dibei. She waved her hand around a few times to purify the blood resentment of the dead monsters.

"Be careful, keep a calm mind, and try to minimize the impact of this environment on you."

Yu Dibei nodded: "Yes, I understand."

Ming Yuwan: "Do you know where I'm going next?"

Yu Dibei shook his head.

Ming Yuwan reached out and straightened Yu Dibei's collar:
“I originally had a place I wanted to go to, but now I think that place should be put on the back list, so next, Dibei, you can lead the way.”

"I?"

"Okay, you lead the way."

"But I don't know where to go."

Ming Yuwan shrugged, trying her best to make her voice sound gentle and tactful:

"Go wherever you want, we'll go with you."

Yu Dibei: "Okay."

Next, Ming Yuwan went to the back and let Yu Dibei lead the way.

The little yellow dog that Yu Dibei had been holding in his arms rolled over, stretched, and kept wagging its tail at Yu Dibei's wrist.

Not knowing where to go, Yu Dibei was gradually influenced by the direction his tail was sweeping.

Ling Wuxing: "Miss Ming, I sensed the aura of a demonic beast in that direction. I'll go and slay it first!"

After saying this, without waiting for Ming Yuwan's response, Ling Wuxing led his men away from the group.

Even earlier, Tao Zhuming was in the same boat.

Ming Yuwan glanced to both sides and behind her. Although two groups from the Dragon King's family had left, there were still many people left.

Just then, the little yellow dog opened its mouth and bit Yu Dibei's chest.

"hiss……"

Yu Dibei felt a sharp pain, staggered, and fell into the scenic stream in front of him.

Ming Yuwan's group immediately followed suit and jumped into the stream.

Before anyone could react, two booming voices came from the east and west sides respectively:

"Excellent! There's demonic energy here!"

"We, the righteous ones, must eradicate demons without exception!"

Along with the two voices came a powerful handprint and a golden whip.

The handprint struck the center of the crowd, producing a terrifying roar.

The golden whip swept across, hitting all those who had just taken to the air to avoid the range of the handprint's attack.

Although they did not cooperate beforehand, they acted with perfect coordination when they attacked, and with a single bombardment, the number of casualties was unknown.

Amidst the swirling dust, someone cried out in alarm:
"The Dragon King Tao Family's River-Turning Seal!"

"The Dragon King's Five Elements Whip!"

Many people only realized then why those two from the Dragon King's family had abandoned Yu Dibei and left the group so early.

Ming Yuwan was the same.

Her main focus was on the opportunities in Yu Dibei, neglecting other potential dangers.

Fortunately, she and her people had entered the stream with Yu Dibei early on. This was a sunken area, and the building materials of the Yu family were very sturdy, so the impact caused by the River-Turning Seal and the Five Elements Whip did not actually touch them.

Ming Yuwan glanced at Yu Dibei in front of her, and her mind became even more certain:

Indeed, it's safest to stay here with you!

The Dragon King Clan possesses an extraordinary foundation. Even among the same elders and ancestors, there is a vast difference between ordinary martial arts families and the orthodox Dragon King Clan.

No one organized a resistance, and no one was willing to resist. The survivors all chose to flee, scattering like birds and beasts.

Because everyone knew that only by spreading out would their elders have the opportunity to take action against others.

As the dust settled, two figures landed here from a distance.

Two old men,
One of them was unkempt, slovenly, and picking his nose with his little finger.

The other one was dignified, dressed in a white robe, with a clean and simple face.

Around the two men lay many shattered corpses. Although the two men had attacked from a distance, they had still caused great damage to the people who had gathered there.

Tao Wanli: "Oh dear, these corpse parts haven't turned back into their demonic forms. Did we attack the wrong people? What kind of situation is this? Sigh!"

Ling Zhuxing: "Demons are cunning and adept at disguise, so accidental injuries are inevitable. They must have come to slay demons and eliminate evil. Only by annihilating all the demons in the Yu family can we appease their spirits in heaven!"

Tao Wanli: "Yes, that's probably what they would like to see."

Ling Zhuxing: "This is inevitable. We, the righteous people of the martial world, should be prepared to sacrifice ourselves for righteousness."

……

"This is it, this is it!"

Looking at the seven-story, pagoda-like building in front of him, Zhou Yunfan's face showed excitement.

This building is the central hub controlling the three wheels above, and it is the essence of the Yu family's mechanical arts.

"The sun and moon alternate, the seasons change, and the main road of the mechanism leads to the city."

In his excitement, Zhou Yunfan bit his lip without realizing it.

His father was paralyzed by that Qin family member in that battle, which originally... didn't matter.

Although the Zhou family was not a prominent family in the martial arts world, they were not so poor that they couldn't afford to support a paralyzed person. The problem was that when the father was walking along the river with a lamp lit, he secretly stole the family's mechanical bronze figure.

The bronze figure was originally a genius ancestor of the Zhou family. For the sake of his descendants and the family, he used molten bronze to refine himself into a mechanical puppet while he was still alive. Later, through generations of Zhou family members, he continuously enhanced and perfected it.

This gives the mechanical bronze figure not only an indestructible physique, making it suitable for combat, but also the ability to autonomously deduce mechanical techniques.

The ancestor who sacrificed his body is long dead, yet it is as if it were alive. When it is placed on the podium, as long as a little blood of the Zhou family is offered, the mechanical bronze figure will respond automatically and help you deduce various mechanical techniques. Although it cannot speak, it can still answer your questions.

It can be said that its greatest value, compared to its ability to protect homes and houses, lies in its ability to be passed down through generations.

When Father took it across the river, it was incredibly successful, its prowess rivaling that of the inheritors from powerful families of the same generation. Although the Zhou family learned of this later, they could only endure it and could not personally interfere with the younger generation of the family who were traveling across the river. They could only hope that if the journey went poorly, they would have to light the lamps a second time in advance and bring the mechanical bronze figure back with them.

But the father lit the lamp a second time and returned, but the mechanical bronze figure was smashed to pieces by the Qin family member with three punches.

Without the bronze statue sacrificing itself to protect him, my father would not have survived. But the elders of the Zhou family, no, the entire Zhou family, were extremely angry with my father.

Zhou Yunfan's branch was expelled from the Zhou family and their names were erased from the family genealogy.

At this moment, Zhou Yunfan placed his hands on the door frame and tapped rapidly with his knuckles. The densely packed hidden compartments on the door frame began to move, but after moving halfway, they started to make a "buzzing" sound.

Zhou Yunfan gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Damn it, those beasts have forced their way through the door more than once!"

This is simply a terrible waste.

Even the intricate mechanisms of the main gate are enough for a skilled array master to calmly contemplate and comprehend.

"Squeak..."

The door opens.

Zhou Yunfan immediately went inside and anxiously looked around.

Here, the place is devastated, filled with animal hair and excrement, and reeks of a pungent stench.

In the corner, there were also many eggs piled up to about half a person's height, and it was unknown what exactly was hatching inside.

These eggs were wrapped in various precious silks, and their bodies were engraved with patterns that gathered spiritual energy, indicating that these eggs were probably hastily and temporarily moved here. The owners of the eggs, or rather, their parents, held a very high position among the Yu family's demon beasts.

They sensed the impending doom for the Yu family and placed their eggs here. By now, they should have already perished in battle.

The space at the bottom of the pagoda is very large, with four walls made of photo stones containing hidden mechanisms; there is also a scripture pavilion to store secret scrolls containing mechanisms.

The Yu family not only used this place as the central switch to control the three wheels above their heads, but also as the place to pass on their own mechanical skills.

But now, the image stone is covered with claw marks from demonic beasts, and the secret scroll is shattered all over the ground. These were all caused a long time ago, and there is no possibility of restoration.

After the demon beast successfully rebelled, it wreaked havoc on the entire Yu family.

Zhou Yunfan's heart was bleeding. If these photos and secret scrolls could be preserved well, they alone would be enough to crush the Zhou family, who were famous in the martial arts world for their mechanical skills. This was the foundation of the Dragon King's family.

One of its small branches represents a height that the family below, through generations, could never reach.

Zhou Yunfan raised his head and looked up. In the middle of the tower, there were three wooden spheres.

The one at the very top is still rotating, with the squares on the sphere constantly concave and convex, weaving together a unique rhythmic beauty.

The two spheres below, one is intact but stopped, while the other is half destroyed.

It can only be said that those monsters still had some sense and didn't go all the way with the destruction, otherwise this underground world would have been completely without light.

Zhou Yunfan leaped into the air, quickly pushing off the wall with both feet, and arrived at the only wooden ball at the top that was still functioning normally.

After careful observation, the excited expression on his face reappeared.

"Enough, enough! This sphere already contains some of the profound principles of the Yu family's mechanical arts. As long as I can comprehend and replicate it, it will be enough to surpass all the mechanical inheritances of my Zhou family!"
"Zhou family, you expelled us from the clan because my father destroyed the mechanical bronze statue. Now, as I return bearing the legacy of the Dragon King's lineage, I demand that you all kneel before me and beg me to become the head of the family!"

Ding Luoxiang looked up at her distraught fiancé, a smile playing on her lips. She knew he had been suppressing his emotions for far too long.

Zhou Yunfan looked down and said to his fiancée:
"Luo Xiang, protect me while I work to understand it."

Ding Luoxiang nodded and said, "Ah Hong, Ah Qing, Ah Hui, you come with me to keep watch."

Zhou Yunfan: "Ahui, stay. I created Ahui. It will be beneficial for her to stay here; it might even allow her true form to become more abundant."

Ding Luoxiang: "Okay."

The reason Zhou Yunfan kept Ahui was that he not only believed in the destructive power Ahui could unleash, but also in her loyalty.

He could sense that Ding Luoxiang loved him very much, but he had the shadow of a life of wandering since childhood, and he preferred to believe mechanical puppets rather than people.

Zhou Yunfan: "Luo Xiang, no matter what happens later, don't bother me. This may be the biggest opportunity of my life."

Ding Luoxiang: "Brother Yun, don't worry. With me guarding outside, I will never let anyone in to disturb you. Brother Yun, please focus on your meditation."

After saying this, Ding Luoxiang led Ah Hong and Ah Qing away from the pagoda, and the pagoda gate closed.

Zhou Yunfan, standing above, lowered his head, while Ahui, standing below, raised her head, and their eyes met.

Zhou Yunfan: "Smash all those eggs."

Ahui walked up to the eggs, raised her hand, and with a cracking sound, the eggshells and the nascent monsters inside all shattered.

Zhou Yunfan: "From now on, as soon as the door opens, kill whoever comes in, no matter who it is!"

Ahui nodded and stood behind the door.

Zhou Yunfan took a deep breath, jumped onto the wooden ball, closed his eyes, shutting out his external senses. The black energy around him flowed downwards, enveloping the wooden ball, and he devoted himself to meditation.

In a courtyard not far from here, the boy spread out his hands, and three sets of metal cards floated down, coalescing into human form, and began to practice spirit writing.

The two generals, one for increasing strength and the other for decreasing it, arrived, and three sets of talismanic armor were put into

General Sun bowed and said, "My lord!"

The two generals saluted in unison and said, "Brother Xiao Yuan!"

General Sun looked at General Zeng, who was positioned on either side of him, with a puzzled expression.

Clearly, the friend who had promised to fight the boy together had secretly gone to befriend him behind his back.

Standing to the side, Lin Shuyou couldn't help but smirk. He reached up and pressed his lips down, thinking to himself: "Tongzi, be serious!"
Li Zhuiyuan said, "We've lost two generals!"

Both generals responded in unison: "Your humble servant is here!"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Did they all come down this time?"

General Sun: "Hmm!"

General Zeng: "Brother Xiao Yuan has given the order, how dare I not do my utmost!"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Move some of it back to the old temple statues, to leave a little bit of embers for ourselves."

The two generals, Zeng and Sun, looked at each other and finally nodded. They each moved some of their divine souls away, and at the same time, their auras also decreased significantly.

Li Zhuiyuan: "I promise you that even if you perish here today, I will offer you double the merit in the future to help you repair your souls."

The two generals, one added and one subdued, shouted: "We dare not disobey even unto death!"

This was the third time Chen Xiyuan had seen Li Zhuiyuan summon his subordinate generals. The first time was in front of the soup restaurant, and the second time was when entering the stone gate, but this time the feeling was clearly different.

She could understand cooperating with the Yin God and having him do things for her, but just now, the attitude of these two officials towards the boy... clearly showed that they regarded him as their master.

Chen Xiyuan turned her head and asked Tan Wenbin beside her:

"I remember, the chief officer should be a successor of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, right?"

Tan Wenbin: "It used to be."

Chen Xiyuan: "And now?"

Tan Wenbin: "Even now."

Chen Xiyuan: "Huh?"

Tan Wenbin: "On the surface, it still is, but in reality, the official is now loyal to our Brother Yuan."

Chen Xiyuan: "If we directly snatch someone from under the Bodhisattva's grasp, would the Bodhisattva agree to that?"

Tan Wenbin: "You don't know?" Chen Xiyuan:
"Know what?"
All I know is the legend that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva suppressed and sealed the Emperor of Fengdu, and then entered Hell to rule over it.

In this process, Zhao Yi even voluntarily became a loyal servant of the Bodhisattva, running errands for the Bodhisattva and reaping huge benefits from it.

Oh no, the little brother said that Zhao Yi's rumors in the martial arts world were all made up by him.

So, it was you who accepted Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's request for help and helped the Bodhisattva suppress Fengdu, preventing the evil spirits from harming the human world anymore?
In return for equal cooperation, did the Bodhisattva bestow upon you the entire lineage of officials and generals?

Tan Wenbin touched the tip of his nose and asked, "It's one thing for others to be easily misled by rumors, but you're from the Dragon King's family. Don't you usually go home and chat with your grandparents?"

Chen Xiyuan: "I will go home, but I don't like to talk about rumors and gossip with my grandparents."

Tan Wenbin: "Why?"

Chen Xiyuan: "Because what they talk about isn't as interesting as what I've heard in the martial arts world!"

The top forces in the martial arts world often hold the truth behind major events.

But the truth is never as fascinating as the rumors.

Tan Wenbin: "Actually, the truth is that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva did not seal hell. The Bodhisattva was dragged into hell by the Emperor of Fengdu and suppressed under his feet."

Chen Xiyuan: "Huh? Won't you be punished by the Emperor of Fengdu later? Oh no, or are you actually helping the Emperor of Fengdu?"

Tan Wenbin: "Yes, we are helping the Great Emperor deal with the Bodhisattvas."

Chen Xiyuan: "Are you all very familiar with the Emperor of Fengdu?"

Tan Wenbin didn't intend to hide it from Chen Xiyuan. After all, Brother Xiaoyuan had already told her about his identity as the inheritor of the Qin and Liu families. You know, there are very few people in this world who know Brother Xiaoyuan's identity and are still alive.

“Our Brother Yuan possesses the inheritance of the underworld and is the last disciple of the Emperor of Fengdu.”

Chen Xiyuan: "A closed-door disciple?"

Tan Wenbin: "Mm."

Chen Xiyuan: "That's true. It's normal for the Great Emperor to be moved by the little brother's talent and take him as his successor. But the Great Emperor has never taken any disciples before, so what does this closed-door disciple mean?"

Tan Wenbin: "It's probably because our Brother Yuan closes the door well."

"Hehehe." Chen Xiyuan, "You're really funny."

Lin Shuyou, who was already about to laugh, couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.

Chen Xiyuan suddenly frowned and asked:

“I remember my grandfather saying that in history, when members of the Yin family were traveling around, they came to Hainan and even stayed at my Chen family’s house, where they were treated as honored guests.”

Does the Yin family still have any descendants?

Tan Wenbin: Yes, there's only one left.

Chen Xiyuan: "A woman?"

Tan Wenbin: "Yes, her name is Yin Meng, but we all call her Mengmeng."

"Snapped!"

Chen Xiyuan slapped her left palm with her right hand, and said knowingly:

"So, the Emperor also wants to take in a son-in-law who will live with him!"

Runsheng, who had been keeping his eyes closed, opened them and looked at her.

At this moment, Li Zhuiyuan walked over, and Runsheng looked at Xiaoyuan.

Li Zhuiyuan held out his hand to Runsheng: "Brother Runsheng, give me that calligraphy brush."

Runsheng reached into his backpack and took out a slender calligraphy brush, placing it in Xiaoyuan's hand.

This calligraphy brush was taken from the corpses of the remaining three members of the Four Mysteries Sect after the four members were killed that night.

For Li Zhuiyuan, it wasn't of much practical use; he had originally planned to bring it back for A Li to use for drawing.

But now, it's actually quite useful.

The boy held a brush in his left hand and half-clenched his right hand upwards. Blood mist billowed out and then quickly settled, turning into pooled blood.

Li Zhuiyuan walked up to General Sun, dipped his brush in his own blood, and began to paint on General Sun.

The talisman armor was designed by Li Zhuiyuan and is an excellent vessel, not just for carrying the heads of officers and generals.

The tip of the pen exudes a rich aura of feng shui.

After Li Zhuiyuan finished drawing, he took a step back, signaling General Sun to begin his stance.

General Sun spread his arms, revealing his aura. A black dragon-skinned figure appeared, followed by a blue halo. The former was the black dragon skin, and the latter was the Zhao Clan's original technique.

Li Zhuiyuan disguised the fallen general as "Zhao Yi".

Next, Li Zhuiyuan began to draw General Zeng.

The first General Zeng was impersonated by the boy as "Lu Xuan" of the Four Mysteries Sect, and the second General Zeng was disguised by the boy as...

"I?"

Chen Xiyuan looked at the domain that General Zeng displayed after his aura rose. This domain was merely a white halo that imitated the aura fluctuations of a domain, but it had no domain power whatsoever.

Li Zhuiyuan: "It's easier to disguise yourself when you're familiar with the target. I haven't had in-depth contact with the others in this wave, so I can only choose these three."

Chen Xiyuan: "This aura, at first glance, is similar to..."

Li Zhuiyuan: "One glance is enough, even half a glance is enough. Those old fogies here right now don't dare to look closely at all."

Chen Xiyuan: "That makes sense. Little brother, you have so many ideas, and you know so much. It's really interesting how you traveled the river."

If anyone else said that, they would be misunderstood as being sarcastic.

Li Zhuiyuan pointed to the pagoda building: "Go, lead those old things there."

"Follow your orders~"

"Follow your orders~"

The three figures immediately left and began fishing for cats.

Li Zhuiyuan sat down on the spot.

Tan Wenbin took a can of Jianlibao from his backpack, opened it, and went to give it to the boy.

As she passed Chen Xiyuan, Chen Xiyuan raised her hand and said, "Thank you."

Tan Wenbin placed the pull tab from the soda can in Chen Xiyuan's palm: "You're welcome."

Li Zhuiyuan took the drink and took two sips.

Chen Xiyuan then realized something: "This drink is for the little brother?"

Tan Wenbin nodded: "Mm."

Chen Xiyuan: "Why didn't you tell me sooner that I had drunk so many cans?"

Tan Wenbin: "It was our oversight."

Li Zhuiyuan raised his right hand and waved it upwards. The remaining array in the neighboring courtyard activated, isolating that area.

Chen Xiyuan looked up at the unresponsive area. She didn't ask the boy if the formation had been activated incorrectly; instead, she simply nodded slightly after thinking for a moment.

"This is the deliberately exposed aura of the formation."

If the old folks were to pass by here and sense the array formation in the neighboring courtyard, they would certainly not continue to investigate further. Instead, they would most likely shout "Demon, die!" and take action immediately. This would give them, who were in the neighboring courtyard, time to react.

Chen Xiyuan, who was sitting on the ground, moved closer to the boy and whispered:
"I used many rules and details that I didn't know how to do before. I think that after this wave is over, I will record all the details since I met you and slowly savor them."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Do as you please."

Chen Xiyuan: "Little brother, you are so meticulous and organized in your work. Do you know how to keep records in this area?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "I'm too lazy to write."

Chen Xiyuan: "After I finish writing it, I'll send you a copy. It will include my experiences and insights."

Li Zhuiyuan: "No need. If we mail it now, the package is very likely to get lost."

Chen Xiyuan: "Where do you live? I can just deliver it to you."

Li Zhuiyuan: "No need, it's too much trouble."

Chen Xiyuan: "Oh, I see. I was thinking that if there were any tools and materials you need in the cave I opened up in Wuzhi Mountain, I would mail them to you."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Yes, so I'll have Tan Wenbin and Lin Shuyou drive to your place to pick them up, and also bring over your notes on this wave so I can take a closer look."

Chen Xiyuan: "Okay, I have a lot of things in my cave, so it would be best to bring a bigger vehicle, otherwise it won't be able to fit everything."

Li Zhuiyuan: "I have a big truck at home."

Chen Xiyuan: "That's perfect."

The image of a child emerged from the depths of Lin Shuyou's mind.

Expressing my feelings:

"Indeed, money makes the world go round; the ancients were right."

Lin Shuyou: "She's a really nice person, really."

Tongzi: "No matter how good they are, they're still from the river. They were innocent at the beginning, but it's impossible for them to remain so innocent after knowing each other for so long. Do you think everyone is like you?"

Lin Shuyou: "What's wrong with me?"

Tongzi: "She knew what that person lacked, so she deliberately gave him that thing. That person actually knew it in his heart, but he accepted it anyway."

Just wait, that person will personally go to Hainan. It's an unspoken understanding; she needs that person to go to her ancestral home to help her understand the "Listening to the Tide and Watching the Sea" stele.

Lin Shuyou: "I don't think it's that complicated?"

The boy said, "Heh, what do you know? I've eaten more ghosts than you've eaten rice."

Lin Shuyou: "Okay, okay, you understand, you understand best."

Tongzi: "This is a high-level transaction. It doesn't offend people. It's subtle and unobtrusive. This woman's methods and mindset are really high. I admire her."

Lin Shuyou: "I think Xiao Yuan wouldn't like this kind of roundabout way of doing things, and he wouldn't like people playing tricks on him."

The spirit medium said, "Spirit medium, do you think everyone's as clueless as you?"

Chen Xiyuan said to Li Zhuiyuan, "Well, why don't you come to Hainan with me in a truck? I'd like to invite you to my ancestral home to help my grandfather understand the 'Listening to the Sea and Watching the Tide' stele. You're so smart, maybe you can come up with a solution."

Boy: "..."

Lin Shuyou: "Boy, boy?"

The boy fell silent; he became withdrawn.

Li Zhuiyuan examined the purple-gold compass in his hand, not in a hurry to answer Chen Xiyuan's request.

Chen Xiyuan didn't bring it up again, and silently watched the compass together.

Suddenly, Lin Shuyou's vertical pupils opened, and he rushed out of the courtyard.

Then, Runsheng stood up, went to the pond in the west corner of the yard, lifted the artificial rockery, stepped back a distance, ran forward, and threw the rockery.

Tan Wenbin activated his Blood Ape Power, leaped onto the roof, opened his snake eyes, and carefully looked in that direction.

"boom!"

The artificial hill collapsed with a loud bang.

Lin Shuyou sprinted back to the courtyard and looked at Brother Xiaoyuan.

Tan Wenbin came down from the roof and looked at Xiao Yuan.

Li Zhuiyuan nodded silently.

Chen Xiyuan glanced at the purple-gold compass, then at the boy. She knew they were whispering to each other behind her back again!

Fortunately, Li Zhuiyuan still remembered her and didn't leave her in an awkward silence for too long. Most importantly, she needed to know about the discovery he had just made.

"I noticed something strange about the formation there earlier. Based on my initial observation, it should be a place in the Yu family's ancestral home where evil spirits are suppressed."

The formation there should be the most solid in the Yu family's defenses. Even those old fogies who stormed the Yu family didn't dare to touch it without permission, because if they accidentally released what was sealed inside, they would bear enormous karmic consequences.

Chen Xiyuan nodded: "Of course."

"However, after testing, the feedback was that the formation reacted when attacked, but there was no reaction inside."

Chen Xiyuan's eyes widened: "Doesn't this mean..."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Yes, the gates to the cage that the Yu family has suppressed for generations have been opened."

Chen Xiyuan: "Then why aren't they coming out now?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "I guess they're waiting for orders, waiting for that old dog to give the command."

Chen Xiyuan: "Why would the evil spirits sealed by the successive Yu family Dragon Kings obey it?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Whoever can help them completely destroy the Yu family, they will listen to. You cannot understand the boundless hatred and resentment that those evil spirits who were once suppressed by the Dragon King harbor towards the Dragon King's family."

Chen Xiyuan: "Little brother... have you experienced this?"

Li Zhuiyuan remained silent.

Chen Xiyuan sighed and said sadly:
"Little sister, is she really that pitiful?"

Li Zhuiyuan glanced at her.

This young girl in front of me really has a sudden, unexpected understanding of human nature.

Chen Xiyuan gritted her teeth: "Now that we know, what do we do next?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Let's pretend we don't know anything about this and continue doing what we're supposed to do. Anyway, if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Right now, there are quite a few tall people in the Yu family."

Zhou Yunfan and Li Zhuiyuan must be killed.

After the Qin and Liu families made such great sacrifices, leaving them all alone, those guys actually conspired behind the scenes to completely crush them and erase them from history.

Then let them experience this kind of erasure first.

Li Zhuiyuan turned around, looked to the west, and said, "The cat has been lured here."

Two cats were attracted.

General Zeng's armor was not controlled properly and was smashed before it could be attracted.

General Zeng's other armor and General Sun's armor successfully completed their mission.

Such losses are unavoidable; in other words, the reason for accumulating wealth is precisely to be used up.

This is equivalent to risking three lives to lure someone in, which is well worth it.

An old Taoist priest with a sage-like appearance, white hair, and a goatee, held a whisk in his hand and led a huge bat. The bat was flying, and he was suppressing it.

He had been trying to suppress it for a long time, but had not succeeded yet. His original intention was to have this bat drag him around the Yu family in order to meet the person he wanted to meet.

Another old man was short and stout with a huge belly, like a round ball with five pieces of clay attached to it, but when he ran, the ground trembled.

The Taoist priest and the short, stout old man shouted in unison:

"Monster, don't run away!"

The two generals, Zeng and Sun, mustered all their strength and charged towards the pagoda.

Ding Luoxiang: "Oh no! Stop them! Don't let them disturb Brother Yun's meditation!"

Everything happened too fast and too suddenly; once the decision was made in an instant, there was no room for change.

A continuous roar, a chaotic battle.

If it were Ding Luoxiang before she entered the Yu family, along with all her maids, she would probably still have a chance to survive this round. After all, she had already successfully preserved herself in front of an old man.

But now, they are all seriously injured, and Ahui is still inside the pagoda.

Ah Hong, who was physically strong, had her body torn apart by the terrifying force.

The agile Aqing was entangled by strands of white whisk, and her figure, which had just disappeared into the whisk, was forcibly pulled out again and then cut into countless pieces.

After Ding Luoxiang thrust out her sword with all her might, the sword shattered, and a large cloud of blood mist emanated from her entire body, her internal organs almost shifting out of place.

An old Taoist priest appeared before her and let out a sigh:
"Alas, my eyes must be playing tricks on me."

The old Taoist priest turned and left to continue chasing the giant bat that seemed impossible to catch.

Because Ding Luoxiang is about to die, with no chance of survival, and since he has already shown himself, he cannot continue to make a move.

Knowing her current situation, Ding Luoxiang staggered toward the pagoda gate, reaching out to push it open. She wanted to take one last look at Brother Yun from afar, just one look, so as not to disturb him.

The moment the door was pushed open, a pair of hands plunged into her chest.

Ding Luoxiang stared in astonishment at Ahui in front of her.

This is a gift from Zhou Yunfan to her. She is his maid. Brother Yun said that Ah Hui will only obey his orders and will protect her no matter when or where.

Ahui's gaze was cold.

Two lines of tears streamed down Ding Luoxiang's face, and she lost all vitality.

At this moment, a chubby figure appeared behind Ding Luoxiang and let out an angry shout:

"You monster, how dare you commit violence and harm people here!"

Having said that, the short, stout old man was about to rush into the pagoda.

He knew perfectly well that the creatures here at this time were unlikely to be demonic beasts hiding, since the pagoda's door was still broken and had little defensive capability; they were more likely his family's juniors seeking opportunities. His own juniors would not be looking for the inheritance of mechanical arts, because his family simply did not have such an inheritance.

Ah Hui also lunged forward.

The short, stout old man hadn't expected the little girl to be so strong. For a moment, he even began to wonder if the girl in front of him was a transformed demon beast.

The short, stout old man, who had been thrown a great distance, regained his balance, reached out and grabbed Ah Hui, completely restraining her.

"Demon, prepare to die..."

Flames blazed in Ahui's eyes, and large sections of her clothes tore away as she was restrained, revealing purple talismans embedded in her joints.

The short, stout old man's eyes narrowed:
"Oh no, we're going to fail!"

"boom!"

Amidst the terrifying explosion, streaks of black and purple lightning flashed. Although the area of ​​destruction was not large, this very fact made the damage all the more astonishing.

"Pfft!"

The short, stout old man lay on the ground, his body charred. After a short while, his fingertips moved, and he slowly propped himself up, raised his arm, and gradually got up.

Before he could even stand up with difficulty, a young girl appeared in front of him.

The short, stout old man: "You are..."

"Cough cough..."

Chen Xiyuan cleared her throat. It was the first time in her life that she had done something like this, so she was inevitably a little uncomfortable and nervous.

But inside, it felt as if a box had been opened, and even more excitement and joy welled up inside.

Chen Xiyuan pointed to the short, stout old man in front of her.

He shouted sternly:

"I am here! You fiend, show your true form at once!"
