Corpse Retriever.

Chapter 430

Ye Dui suppressed his smile, and with his left ring finger, he rubbed his brow, smoothing out the wrinkles caused by the ill-fitting leather case.

“You shouldn’t have come here directly. You should have gone over there first.” Ye Dui stood up and sighed. “Oh well, I’ll take you there myself now.”

Li Zhuiyuan: "A long time ago, I was thinking, why didn't it just break off relations from the beginning and take the initiative to pay a higher price to coerce and kidnap me?"

It had many opportunities, no, for a considerable period of time in the past, to realize this intention with ease.

So I guess even if I'm taken there bound and handcuffed, achieving my goal would still require my conscious and voluntary participation, right?

Ye Dui: "Yes, it has to be your own choice, otherwise it will be impossible to succeed."

Li Zhuiyuan: "If you take me there now, will I go willingly?"

Ye Dui: "You will. As long as you go there and see it with your own eyes, I believe you will do it willingly."

Li Zhuiyuan: "I have roughly figured out what the rules behind that armor represent. That armor is the true core of this ancient burial site and this prison."

You are bound by it, and it is bound by its armor. You and it both want to escape from here and gain freedom. Let me take your place in prison.

So, you still think I would do this willingly?

Ye Dui: "That's where I'm different from it. I've developed two plans for it, and the one it chose, which is what you experienced, is the one I least recommend implementing."

See, hasn't this whole plan failed now?
I kept telling it, "If someone with the same qualities as that person appears in the world, their place here..."

Ye Dui pointed to his head and continued,
"They're probably just as smart here."

But it was far too arrogant.

Do you know what the other plan is?

That means finding you, introducing yourself, sitting down, and telling you about your past experiences here, and about that place in its entirety.

When the time comes, we won't have to do anything; you will come on your own.

Because you can't resist the allure that place offers, just like that person did back then.

That place can help people like you shed all impurities, break free from all constraints, and bring out the qualities you pursue to their fullest potential.

Even if you know the potential consequences of doing so, you still can't refuse.

A slight smile curved the corners of Li Zhuiyuan's lips.

Imagine you are suffering from an illness and are struggling against it when a miracle doctor from afar tells you that he knows a place that can completely cure your illness.

After the miracle doctor finished speaking, he sat opposite you, smiling without saying a word, waiting for you to cry and beg him to take you to that place.

However, this at least shows one thing: the story between Wei Zhengdao and the tomb owner did not end after that barbecue; there was still a sequel.

Ye Dui: "Let's go, I'll take you there."

Li Zhuiyuan shook his head.

Ye Dui: "You can go and take a look, and then you can make your own decision."

Li Zhuiyuan pointed at Ye Dui: "This is its skin. If this skin is damaged, it will have a huge impact on the outside of the animal, right?"

Ye Dui nodded: "Yes."

Li Zhuiyuan: "What if I destroy this skin?"

Ye Dui: "It will not disappear because of this."

Li Zhuiyuan: "It's like escaping from prison."

Ye Dui fell silent.

Li Zhuiyuan: "It's time to make a move regarding that set of armor."

Ye Dui: "Aren't you curious about that place?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Compared to curiosity, I have more important things to do now. It's already quite remarkable that the people outside have been able to support and stop it for so long."

The boy stretched his right hand forward and turned it upward.

A giant eye immediately appeared beneath Ye Dui's feet.

Runsheng, Tan Wenbin, and Lin Shuyou all rushed forward.

Ye Dui lowered his gaze and met the giant eye beneath his feet.

The next moment, the giant eye began to turn red.

Runsheng, with the valve open, slammed his fist down.

Ye Dui raised his hand, and the giant eye beneath his feet moved to Run Sheng's feet, causing Run Sheng's movement to be hindered.

Lin Shuyou closed in on Ye Dui's side.

Ye Dui leaned back, avoiding Lin Shuyou's gaze, and gently tapped forward with his fingertip.

A huge black vortex seemed to appear in front of Lin Shuyou, about to engulf him.

With his vertical pupils activated, he saw through the illusion, the vortex disappeared, and Lin Shuyou's gaze shifted to Ye Dui. But before he could make any further moves, the distance between him and Ye Dui increased at an unbelievable speed.

In an instant, Ye Dui grew farther and farther away, and smaller and smaller, in his sight.

His vertical pupils flashed rapidly, successfully correcting and pulling back his sense of distance. Ye Dui was getting closer and closer, and also getting bigger and bigger.

Until a loud "boom" resounded, Ye Dui, like a giant, stood directly in front of him.

The boy's mind was greatly shaken, which indirectly caused Lin Shuyou's consciousness to become unstable.

Tan Wenbin appeared behind Ye Dui, a gash appearing in his palm. Although he hadn't been able to bring the rusty sword in, the blood sword formed by the blood fueled by resentment and the ferocity of the blood ape was still incredibly sharp.

However, Ye Dui did not panic. He did not even dodge. Instead, he raised his foot and kicked Tan Wenbin's arm.

The blood-red sword in his hand trembled and shattered.

Ye Dui clenched his fist and punched Tan Wenbin in the chest.

"boom!"

"puff."

Tan Wenbin coughed up a mouthful of blood.

However, his body did not fly backwards. Instead, he stuck to Ye Dui's fist like an iron block being attracted by a magnet.

Ye Dui gathered his strength, his gaze centered on Tan Wenbin's fist, gradually distorting, causing Tan Wenbin's body to creak and groan.

Ye Dui: "You think you can bully me just because I'm a scholar?"

Ye Dui remained calm throughout.

He was indeed a scholar, but the tomb owner's skin was now on his body, and he was essentially imprisoned in place of the tomb owner.

This skin endowed Ye Dui with an extremely formidable physique, making him no longer weak and frail, but rather exceptionally fierce.

The truth of the story is fully revealed here.

The four prisoners who survived here, including Ye Dui, were indeed deliberately "kept" in place.

The other three were thrown out like carrots in this wave, while Ye Dui, whether by his own initiative or by a compromise he had to make, in any case, reached a cooperation agreement with the tomb owner.

Although he had to wear the skin of the tomb's owner and serve his sentence here in place of him, Ye Dui received better treatment and care.

Ye Dui reached out with his other hand to touch Tan Wenbin's head, and said at the same time:

"Come with me to that place, or I'll crush his brain..."

The blood that Tan Wenbin had previously sprayed out turned into mist due to the pull of Tan Wenbin's nose.

Tan Wenbin's limbs and chest area showed prominent veins.

then,

"Snapped!"

With the power of the Blood Ape activated, blood beads overflowed from Tan Wenbin's eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and every pore, and from the very beginning, they were running with a certain rhythm. This meant that Tan Wenbin had already "rehearsed" within his body, giving him an initial momentum.

Li Zhuiyuan stood in the distance, with the evil dragon coiled in his right palm.

The blood mist emanating from Tan Wenbin instantly condensed into the phantom of a vicious dragon, roaring as it opened its maw and lunged at Ye Dui.

Ye Dui raised his left palm and slapped it down on the head of the evil dragon phantom.

The illusory image of the evil dragon shattered.

The evil dragon in Li Zhuiyuan's palm fell into the boy's palm, but it soared back the next moment and raised its head again.

The shattered phantom image instantly reformed and roared towards Ye Dui once more.

Ye Dui's brow, which he had just smoothed out, furrowed again.

Beside him, Lin Shuyou switched to the Ghost General mark, his originally confused eyes transforming into cold, ghostly pupils.

Ye Dui had to free up one hand to point at Lin Shuyou.

This gesture carried with it a terrifying psychological pressure.

A silent scream emanated from Lin Shuyou's body, coming from the boy.

The boy cried out pitifully because He had taken on all of Ah-you's burdens.

Ah You twists his arms forward, while Ye Dui makes a move with one hand.

On the other side, Tan Wenbin's blood overflowed further, providing energy for the evil dragon's phantom, making its form even more condensed.

The evil dragon in Li Zhuiyuan's palm coiled its body, and the evil dragon's phantom also wrapped around Ye Dui's wrist.

At this moment, Ye Dui's hands were entangled, as if they were fixed in place.

Runsheng kept charging forward. With each charge, the giant red eye beneath his feet blinked, causing Runsheng to pause and his fist to gather even more power.

The Liu family is skilled in leveraging feng shui; Liu Yumei had previously used her influence to enhance Qin Li's power.

Now, Li Zhuiyuan is simply applying what he has learned.

However, there was a little roundabout way to do this. First, he threw out an instant-cast array, allowing Ye Dui to use the force against him, while continuing to amplify Run Sheng's power.

Runsheng's fist struck Ye Dui in the chest.

"boom!"

Ye Dui was sent flying backwards.

This entire attack sequence was communicated by Li Zhuiyuan through the red line during his conversation with Ye Dui, and it has now been successfully executed.

Ye Dui was not thrown too far and landed steadily soon.

He reached out and covered the spot where he had been punched.

……

Outside the construction site, the evening wind blew even more fiercely, sending sand and stones flying.

On a level imperceptible to ordinary people, the great formation's decline was fully revealed.

All the teams in the small formation were making a last-ditch effort to hold it up. If there were two or three more attacks, the formation would collapse, and it might not even be able to withstand the next attack.

Master Sun's Taoist robe, along with his white beard, was stained red with blood.

He had long regarded himself as the last bit of lamp oil, and now this candle flame seemed to be flickering in its final moments.

Ahead, Han Shuting slowly wrapped iron chains around his palms, with many people standing on either side of him.

When a breach appears in the formation, they will charge forward.

Although they were well aware that once the formation was breached, it would be an avalanche, with no chance of repairing it;
If we were to charge forward without the protection of the formation, it would be tantamount to suicide.

But some things, even if you know the outcome, you still have to do them.

Han Shuting raised his hand, which was wrapped in iron chains. On both sides of the crowd, some closed their eyes and others took deep breaths, making final adjustments.

The next shock is coming.

"boom!"

Han Shuting looked surprised and suspicious.

Master Sun suddenly looked up, excitedly saying:

"Its power has weakened, it has weakened!"

……

On the dividing line between the two roads, it holds the "Book Without Words" and clutches its chest. Behind it, the huge black figure that blends into the night appears somewhat disheveled.

It lowered its head.

If there was even a tiny bit of wishful thinking left in their hearts before, now they can no longer deceive themselves.

The young man has already found Ye Dui.

It turns out that he really did know all along that he was hiding by his side and had been using him all along.

"Hehehe...hehehe..."

A hoarse, cracked laugh came from the black mist.

The suspicion never stopped; it had long suspected something was wrong. But as it got closer to its destination, it was still unwilling to lift the table. It wanted to see the final result.

It was a result that thoroughly enraged it, yet was also entirely unexpected.

The mist around him thickened again, and the illusory figure under the night sky solidified once more.

But just as it was about to launch another attack and completely destroy the already crumbling formation, its body trembled once more.

This time, the black fog spread even more rapidly than before, and the shadowy figures under the night sky became distorted and thin.

This means that Ye Dui is in a very bad situation under the ancient burial site, and the skin he wears is constantly being damaged.

"waste……"

It reached out and plucked a bell.

"Buzz!"

The black thread wrapped around the bell burned and fell off at this moment.

It is currently unable to break through this great formation to return to the ancient burial site, and can only further delegate the operational authority over the ancient burial site to Ye Dui.

"Take him there...take him there...take him there!"

……

Ye Dui got up from the ground. This was the second time he had been knocked down, and the opponent had used the same method as before.

Two people are responsible for sticking to and entangled with you, while the other person is responsible for throwing punches.

Ye Dui: "What secret method are you using to secretly command them?"

Li Zhuiyuan did not answer, and silently continued to set up the formation.

Ye Dui took a bell from his waist and began to shake it.

A series of ghostly wails and howls came from afar, seemingly both distant and near.

This is the lair of the undead knights and masked men; heaven knows how much loot is still here.

Li Zhuiyuan issued the latest instructions via the red line:
"Skip the predetermined steps and speed up the process to get the result."

……

Inside a unique hole deep within an ancient burial site.

The space here is much, much larger than any other cell.

Before the second investigation began, it was speculated that this Goguryeo tomb was not a standalone burial. As the construction progressed and more excavation findings were moved up for research, this conclusion was confirmed.

This is a complex of tombs belonging to the kings and nobles of Goguryeo, with the sacrificial site at its core and surrounding it.

Every person buried in a place of high status during their lifetime was accompanied by samurai who would be buried with their master. However, these samurai would not be buried with their master, but would be gathered in a separate area.

Half of this environment is covered by corpse fluid, resembling a small dammed lake.

A large number of decaying armor pieces floated on the lake surface;
In the center of the lake, there is an altar with three tall banners for summoning souls. Below the banners is a small round platform with a black tiger's head carved on its surface. The tiger's mouth is open, and corpse fluid keeps gushing out from it, pouring onto a black and gold bell.

The bell rang.

Ripples spread across the lake's surface.

"Crash..."

The first to surface was not the dead, but Zhao Yi.

Ignoring the stench of the sticky corpse fluid on his body, Zhao Yi slowly walked up the steps. With each movement, water droplets dripped from his body, which solidified into oil upon landing on the platform.

Then, the Liang sisters also surfaced. Liang Yan had one arm around her younger sister's waist and the other hand around Xu Ming's neck.

All three people were covered in claw marks and bite marks; the wounds were deep, dark, and still festering.

Clearly, they had just gone through a terrible battle down there.

Previously, Zhao Yi led them down into the well to explore the way, but the ice suddenly melted, blocking the way they had come from.

Zhao Yi immediately realized that there was another person in this ancient burial who could influence the environment.

He and his men were essentially forced into a hole that the other party wanted them to enter, as the water level had risen and melted.

Zhao Yi folded a bow and placed it in front of the hole he entered as a marker.

It wasn't to tell the man surnamed Li exactly which cave he had entered, but rather to convey other information, which he knew the man surnamed Li could understand.

That hole leads to here.

This means that the other party wants them to die here, as if to erase the interference that should not have been here in the first place.

He gritted his teeth and held on, and he's still alive. It's a combination of strength and luck, but it seems like it's only a matter of time before he dies.

There are so many things down here, too many to count, too many to kill.

The last one to emerge from the lake was Chen Jing; he was walking backwards.

A-Jing's small body was covered with horrifying wounds, and countless finger bones and teeth were still deeply embedded there.

Chen Jing was like a proud wolf, teetering on the brink of collapse, yet still holding his chin high and staring into the distance.

The black bell is still ringing.

The ripples on the lake surface grew denser and denser, as spirits, skeletons, and rotting corpses rose from the water, surrounding the altar in the center of the lake.

They reached out and grabbed the rusty, decaying armor from the lake surface, then put it on themselves.

Further out, the neighing of warhorses could be heard; those were the various burial horses that had floated to the surface.

Soon, a large number of undead knights will be resurrected here. After a second round of sacrifice, the undead knights will transform into even more powerful masked men.

They were originally the guardians of this ancient burial site, but were deliberately gathered here to sleep.

The reason why the first investigation failed and caused such huge losses was that the construction of the civil defense project caused a breach in the ancient burial site, allowing the spirits of the dead to escape.

This time, both sides actually learned from their mistakes, and their investigation teams were larger and better prepared.
Before leaving the ancient burial site, the tomb owner even put away the spirits guarding the place, partly because he didn't want them to clash with the outside world too early, and partly because he didn't want to hand them over to Ye Dui for command.

But plans can never keep up with changes. If Ye Dui had been able to control such a force from the beginning, he could have made arrangements more calmly after Li Zhuiyuan and the others entered the ancient burial site.

Even a simple chase could drive Li Zhuiyuan and the others to the area he had set.

However, it's not too late yet.

At least, that's what Ye Dui himself thinks.

On the altar, Zhao Yi sat cross-legged in front of the round platform.

Although many members of his Zhao family are now civil servants in the underworld of Fengdu.

However, Zhao Yi has always been good at avoiding suspicion and doesn't like to use back channels or personal connections. He has never visited or interacted with relatives in his workplace.

Therefore, he did not know what the real Fengdu Hell looked like.

But just now, beneath this lake of corpses, he witnessed and experienced a miniature hell.

Zhao Yi glanced around and saw more and more undead knights converging on the center of the altar.

This time, they weren't coming for me. This black and gold bell was more like a tiger tally; they had come to receive orders and then head to their destination.

The purpose of their trip is self-evident.

After all, the only outsiders here right now are our group and the Li family.

"Sigh... Mr. Li, you never get any freebies."

The gate between life and death on Zhao Yi's chest opened, and Zhao Yi inserted his right hand into the crack. When he pulled it out, there was a ball of white flame in his palm. He first placed the flame on his forehead to nourish it.

When the undead knights around him stepped onto the altar, Zhao Yi first pointed a single finger at the flame between his eyebrows, and then pointed to the black and gold bell.

The flames drifted away and clung to the bell, burning.

The sound of the bell was thus masked.

All the surrounding spirits stopped moving and froze.

Zhao Yi opened his mouth and yawned, his skin gradually becoming dry and wrinkled.

The bell was covered with a sky lantern, and the sky lantern burned Zhao Yi's lifespan. Although this could be replenished through good deeds, a person's lifespan is limited. If it was completely depleted in one go, there would be no time to replenish it, and it would also lead to a sudden death.

Zhao Yi pulled out a clean cigarette from inside his clothes, put it in his mouth, pinched it between his fingers, and lit it.

He took a deep breath, exhaled the smoke, and his hair turned white.

Zhao Yi licked his lips, looking at the lit cigarette in his hand:
"Hey Li, I was trying to buy you the time it takes to smoke a whole pack of cigarettes, but who knew my life was only worth this one cigarette."

……

Ye Dui's bell rang for a while, then suddenly stopped ringing.

The rescue he was hoping for had not yet arrived.

Ye Dui, who was entangled in a fierce battle with Runsheng and the other two, revealed a hint of helplessness in his eyes and sighed self-deprecatingly:
"Could this be the will of Heaven?"

Li Zhuiyuan didn't know if Ye Dui truly believed in fate.

But Li Zhuiyuan only knew that people don't talk to themselves for no reason.

He had talked to himself many times while looking at the "Wordless Book," with the aim of deceiving it, comforting it, and numbing it.

Ye Dui's struggles did indeed weaken, and a new round of constraints appeared again, with Tan Wenbin and Lin Shuyou working together to trap Ye Dui in the middle once more.

Runsheng raised his fist and charged forward in the same manner as before.

Li Zhuiyuan's gaze shifted upwards, looking at the bare rock wall behind Ye Dui.

Young man, are you ready?

He believed that Ye Dui must have been waiting for a long time.

If the tomb's owner were here, then none of them would have had a chance to fight.

Ye Dui was just a prisoner in disguise, so everyone was still on the same level and could fight back and forth.

However, regardless of which side it is, if they change their opponent, even if that opponent is of the same strength, they will still win.

This fight was quite a battle, requiring a lot of careful planning.

Open all the energy gates!
His aura surged dramatically.

If Ye Dui were to take another punch, he would definitely be in big trouble.

Ye Dui raised his eyelids and saw that a thin layer of plaster had peeled off the rock walls around the cell, revealing array patterns made of black water stains.

This is the culmination of Ye Dui's efforts over countless years. Perhaps when he first set it up while enduring excruciating pain in prison, he intended it to target the tomb's occupant.

Now, it's being used here.

The formation was activated, and directly stimulated by Runsheng's fully open energy gates in the cell, causing the formation's power to double in an instant.

The principle behind this is likely based on the unique environment of a prison cell. The original mechanism here was that the more taboo methods you used, the more severe the punishment you would receive in that cell.

Ye Dui's arrangement was truly a case of adapting well to local conditions.

The terrifying suppressive force, like an invisible giant hand, had already been raised and was about to strike Runsheng.

At that moment, Runsheng felt as if the air around him had been sucked away in an instant, and even though it was his own heartbeat, it made his eardrums ache.

Ye Dui had been waiting for Li Zhuiyuan's people to use their trump card, so that his meticulously arranged formation could successfully achieve its purpose.

The demonic power within Tan Wenbin ignited, and his eyes initially flashed with five colors of light and shadow, which were eventually all covered by darkness.

Awe-inspiring!

Ye Dui paused mentally, and the array's laws were stimulated once more, unleashing an even more terrifying mental storm that swept towards Tan Wenbin.

Of the three, Lin Shuyou is the only one who hasn't revealed his hand yet, as his talisman needles are not with him.

Li Zhuiyuan raised his head, the evil dragon in his hand swirling and roaring. At the fastest speed, Li Zhuiyuan used the formation he had set up earlier to maximize the power of feng shui, just like when he tested the armored man on it.

Cracks appeared on the evil dragon's body, making it transparent, and some blood flowed from Li Zhuiyuan's eye sockets.

The young man had already seen through Ye Dui's true arrangement here. After all, Ye Dui was a master in this field. If you could find a way to break his carefully designed and arranged formation so easily and use it at the critical moment, then you would be taking him too lightly.

However, there are still ways to break the formation.

Don't try to crack it using conventional methods; just overload it instantly.

Runsheng came first, Tan Wenbin followed, and the rest were filled by Li Zhuiyuan.

The array patterns on the wall began to crumble, and the array effect, which should have doubled, was reduced back to one-to-one.

The entire cell was in complete chaos at that moment.

Runsheng's fist finally struck Ye Dui's chest, this time not only sending Ye Dui flying, but also denting his chest.

The skin covering my body wasn't broken, but it looked like a dumpling that had been overcooked.

After throwing that punch, Runsheng himself was also struck hard and fell to the ground.

Tan Wenbin's mind was almost turned to mush; his eyes rolled back, and he knelt down with a thud.

A strong gust of wind appeared in front of Li Zhuiyuan, lifting the boy up and crashing him against the rock wall before he slowly fell down.

Although the wind is strong, it is merely an evolution of feng shui and weather patterns; there may be friction and damage, but it is far from fatal.

Ye Dui staggered, his back hunched, his mouth agape, his gaze still vacant.

Lin Shuyou spread his hands and made a feinting gesture in one direction.

The knife that Runsheng had put down during the battle was now in Lin Shuyou's hands.

Even just holding the scabbard, Lin Shuyou felt an piercing pain in his palm, but without hesitation, he gripped the hilt with his other hand and drew the knife.

"His..."

With just the simple action of drawing the knife, Lin Shuyou's skin and flesh detached from his body as easily as tearing strips of paper.

Ah You twirled his knife and raised it above his head with both hands.

He slashed down at Ye Dui in front of him!

"boom!"

"boom!"

Two explosions rang out.

First, Ah You's skin exploded, the knife fell from his hands, and he fell backward, covered in blood.

A crack appeared between Ye Dui's eyebrows, and then the crack continued to widen, spreading out to both sides like taking off clothes.

The Ye Dui inside was no longer humanoid; it was more like a wriggling ball of flesh, constantly manifesting Bagua diagrams.

The cracked skin continued to vaporize, making a sizzling sound like oil being cooked over a fire.

The banquet hall above.

The suit of armor that had been placed on the throne suddenly came to life.

No one was wearing it, yet it stood up and stood upright on its own.

A terrifying aura poured outwards like a surging river, as if awakening a solemn and dignified atmosphere that had been passed down for countless years.

It walked down step by step.

With a single step, the armored figure left the banquet hall.

With another step, the armored man arrived at the bottom of the elevator shaft.

With another step, the armored man arrived at the center of the formation.

The pitch-black night and howling wind provided its best camouflage. Even though Han Shuting was standing right next to the armor, he only felt a chill but had no idea what was happening.

Inside the tent, Old Zhai, who was sitting there drinking tea, yawned and muttered:
"The true masters of this place have never been people."

After putting down his teacup, Old Zhai was too exhausted to stay awake any longer. He leaned his head against the tent frame and fell asleep.

Under the desk lamp, his shadow stretched longer and longer until it disappeared into the vast darkness outside.

Outside the formation.

The tomb owner, holding the "Book Without Words," not only stopped bombarding the great formation but also kept wailing there.

This time, the black mist on its body not only overflowed, but also seemed to transform into shackles, piercing and strangling itself.

But instead of dealing with its current situation, it turned around and prepared to flee.

Because it knows that soon, that thing will come out.

Its predecessors were once the rulers of the ancient burial grounds and the owners of that armor; but when it came to its own generation, for some reason, it became the prisoner suppressed by the armor, and the only prisoner here!
It didn't want to be caught by the armor, and even more so, it couldn't let the armor's rules determine that it had escaped. Back when it still had a physical body, it felt like every day was an eternity. Now, it only had this soul left. If it were to be absorbed back into the armor, it would be permanently sealed away, never to see the light of day again!

However, just as it was about to leave, a pitch-black door appeared in front of it, blocking its way.

It asked, "Fengdu?"

……

Ghost Street in Fengdu County, Sichuan and Chongqing.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

One bolt of lightning after another struck the Fengdu Emperor Temple at the top of Ghost Street, causing fire and flooding.

To knowingly do something impossible and forcibly interfere with those who are going to cross the river is a karmic retribution brought down by the will of Heaven.

From the perspective of those in the Xuanmen sect, this was almost certain to be annihilated, but for an existence of the level of the Fengdu Emperor, it was a price to be considered.

The residents of the county town heard the commotion and saw the flames. Before the fire trucks arrived, they spontaneously organized to fight the fire.

……

Ji'an, Jilin Province, construction site, outside the main battle formation.

It exclaimed, "Fengdu...you actually came here!"

A majestic voice echoed from behind that gate of hell:

"How dare you scheme against my last disciple!"
