Chapter 109: Corpse Chaser, Incident (Subscription Request)

It’s in short supply, really in short supply!

The Qualitative Change Hunyuan Breaking Formation Technique used a wisp of evil energy, and now he only has four wisp left.

If you want to undergo a second qualitative change, you will need as many as ten strands.

So at this moment, Shen Bai was in a dilemma of having no evil spirit.

"Other people's bottleneck is not knowing how to break through, my bottleneck is the lack of evil spirit, it's really a headache."

After thinking for a while, Shen Bai looked at the bright weather outside the window, stretched, and stopped thinking about it for the time being.

It was time to roll in, and Shen Bai didn't say anything more. He turned around and walked out.

There are problems, but it cannot interfere with your daily life.

He is very self-disciplined.

After going out, Shen Bai had breakfast in the breakfast shop and rushed towards the Jiantian Division.

……

After arriving at the Jiantian Division, he performed the daily roll call in the registration room and had a tense fight with the owner of the Dragon Room.

Shen Bai did not go to Ding Sanshier Department, but went to Mu Lao's resource room.

At this moment, Mu Lao was taking a nap in the house.

Ever since Shen Bai met Mu Lao, Mu Lao has been sleeping in his room and he is rarely seen in good spirits.

As if he heard Shen Bai's footsteps, Mu Lao raised his head, stretched, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes that ordinary people could not see.

"You kid, your strength has become stronger again. I always feel like you have taken some medicine." Mu Lao said in surprise.

Shen Bai smiled and said, "If it really is some magical medicine, I'm afraid all the cultivators in the world will have to come to me to get the magic medicine."

Mu Lao shrugged his shoulders. He just made a few jokes about Shen Bai's ambiguous answer and didn't take it seriously.

Mu Lao actually thought it was normal for people to have secrets like this.

It would be strange if he was so young and powerful but didn't have any secrets.

Mu Lao poured Shen Bai a cup of tea. After seeing Shen Bai drink it, he said, "You're here today. Are you going to spend another day at the martial arts training ground?"

Everyone in the Tianjiansi knew about what happened to Shen Bai in the martial arts arena.

Everyone knows that Shen Bai is obsessed with the martial arts field every day.

I also admire Shen Bai's action.

Others are talented and work hard, so you have to admire them.

Shen Bai nodded and said, "There haven't been any missions lately, so I can only practice my skills seriously. Otherwise, there's nothing else to do."

Mu Lao chuckled and said, "The other members are just hoping for fewer tasks and more free time, but you're the only one who keeps asking me why I haven't assigned any more tasks yet."

Shen Bai said curiously, "It's strange, but since I came to Maple Forest State, the number of missions has actually decreased. I don't know what's going on."

Mu Lao poured himself a cup of tea, drank it, and smacked his lips. "Fewer missions is actually a good thing for the people."

Shen Bai pondered Mu Lao's words and nodded in agreement, saying, "That's indeed the case."

Perhaps for other departments, the criterion is the amount of tasks.

For the Tianjiansi, the fewer tasks there are, the better.

"The current situation is not normal." Mu Lao put down his teacup, his eyes showing a little complexity. "The dynasty is in turmoil, and the princes are rising. I heard that Your Majesty has been busy with various affairs recently, especially the one in the north. He seems to have rebellious intentions, but there is no concrete evidence."

Recently, Shen Bai often came to Mu Lao's place and learned a lot about the Great Zhou Kingdom.

I have learned before that the Great Zhou Kingdom is in a turbulent period, but the various princes have not revealed their specific rebellious intentions and are just waiting for the opportunity.

But the one in the north is a little different.

In a capital-level city in the north, there lives a man named Feng Jiang Hou.

Marquis Fengjiang existed at the beginning of the establishment of the Great Zhou Kingdom. He owned a capital-level city, had unfathomable strength, and had an excellent family background.

During this turbulent period, each of the princes had his own thoughts.

Shen Bai felt that keeping it secret was a good thing.

But what he didn't expect was that Feng Jianghou in the north actually made a move.

"What's going on? Are they really preparing to rebel?" Shen Bai asked.

In his opinion, if this was true, it would be an extremely stupid thing to do.

Of course, everyone has their own ideas, and this is just his idea.

Mu Lao shook his head and said, "Who can say for sure about this matter? I just heard some rumors and used them as a topic of conversation after dinner. However, the Tianjian Division over there is very troubled."

Shen Bai placed the teacup in front of Mu Lao, picked up the teapot and poured a cup himself, looking at the steam rising from it: "Mu Lao, how is Zhou Qing, who I asked you to inquire about?"

Ever since he and Zhou Qing left, Zhou Qing joined the army and there has been no news of him until now, so Shen Bai asked Mu Lao to find out.

Mu Lao smiled and said, "Your brother is quite courageous. He has made remarkable achievements since entering the military camp. He seems to have reached the Three Treasures realm now. However, the military camp has strict regulations, and he is very busy, so he may not have any correspondence with you."

"I have asked someone to take your letter back. I think he will reply soon."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Mu." Shen Bai said with a bow.

After talking about what needed to be talked about and asking what needed to be asked, he planned to continue going to the martial arts arena to improve his proficiency.

But at this moment, a sound of light footsteps was heard.

Shen Bai turned his head and saw Qin Shuang peeking and slowly approaching.

"Shen Bai, I finally found you. There's a mission coming. Let's go quickly."

As soon as he came in, Qin Shuang saw Shen Bai, hurried forward and grabbed Shen Bai's arm.

Recently, Qin Shuang's Department C has had quite a few tasks.

However, in their spare time, Shen Bai and Qin Shuang often go out to eat together.

Upon hearing this, Shen Bai immediately stood up.

"The mission assigned to Unit Ding?"

He hadn't seen the mission for a long time, and now he suddenly encountered it, he couldn't help but rub his hands excitedly.

Especially now that he lacks evil spirit, he was even more excited after receiving the task.

"Mr. Mu, let's stop talking. I'm leaving first." Shen Bai turned around and greeted Mr. Mu.

Mu Lao shook his head helplessly and could only watch Shen Bai leave the room.

……

After leaving the room, Shen Bai and Qin Shuang walked towards the yard in front.

"Isn't this the way to Ding Sanshier Division?" Shen Bai asked, "Could it be that this mission is quite important?"

Qin Shuang nodded and said, "This time, not only Department D, but Department C also participated. It is said that the two departments completed it together."

Shen Bai frowned and said, "Two departments are completing the task together... Isn't Department Ding currently handling the matter of the Three Fires Temple? Have all the people been recalled?"

There is still no news or clues about the Sanhuo Temple incident, and Shen Bai has also been paying attention to this matter recently.

Now that Ding Bu was suddenly recalled, he wondered if the matter of Sanhuo Temple would be investigated further.

Qin Shuang was leading the way. After hearing this, he looked around, rolled his eyes, and then came to Shen Bai and whispered softly.

"I heard that a corpse driver will be passing through Fenglin Island soon, so we need to take this seriously to prevent any danger."

Corpse driver?
After hearing this, Shen Bai touched his chin and said, "To think there are such people passing through Fenglin Island, they are indeed rare and dangerous."

The current Shen Bai is no longer the Xiaobai of the past.

After studying for such a long time, Shen Bai has some understanding of some things in the world.

Especially some special professions, such as corpse driving, which is one of them.

Just by hearing the name, you might think that people in this business are very evil.

This is not the case.

The job of a corpse driver is actually a hard-earned income.

The so-called corpse-drivers bring the bodies of people who died in other places back to their hometowns for burial and charge a fee for doing so.

The profession of corpse-driving is actually not weak, they even have a large organization.

This organization spans the entire Great Zhou Kingdom and is recognized by the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Because the Great Zhou Dynasty is in turmoil now, deaths are common.

To prevent the dead bodies from accumulating resentment and becoming eerie, the profession of corpse-carriers became increasingly important. "If it's a corpse-carrier coming, then it's normal to be on high alert," Shen Bai nodded.

Why does the Heavenly Supervisor have to be on guard against corpse-drivers? To put it bluntly, corpse-drivers use special methods to make corpses move on their own, and this special method will more or less make the corpses tainted with resentment.

Wherever they arrived at a place, the Tianjiansi would take charge of it and guard it closely to prevent major problems from occurring.

After all, strange appearances will cause more or less harm.

"This time, the number of corpse drivers is different. There are probably thousands of them, so we need people from both departments to work together."

"Thousands of people, you mean thousands of corpses, right?" Shen Bai asked with a frown.

Qin Shuang realized he had made a slip of the tongue and nodded, "Yes, there are thousands of corpses, but there are also more than a hundred corpse drivers this time. We are just in case something goes wrong. As you know, we have the upper evil sect, the wild Taoist sect, and the wild Buddhist sect here, so we have to guard them strictly."

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the largest courtyard.

At this moment, not only Jian Taiwen was in the yard, but even the head of Department C was here.

After coming in, everyone turned their attention to Shen Bai and Qin Shuang.

Qin Shuang consciously returned to his position in Section C, while Shen Bai walked to the side of Huang Guang and Kong Fang.

By the time they arrived, the people from Division C and Division D had almost all arrived.

Jian Taiwen bowed to the leader of Division C and said, "Master Hong, everyone is here. You are the leader of this mission, so you will announce the specific methods."

The leader of Division C is named Hong Mingfeng, he is extremely powerful and is good at using the Eagle Claw bow with his bare hands.

It is said that when it was fighting against an enemy, every strike of its claws was accompanied by the sound of thunder and wind, which was extremely terrifying.

When he was young, Hong Feng was unruly. It is said that when Liu Wufeng recruited Hong Feng, Hong Feng even felt that Liu Wufeng was not worthy of being the governor of Fenglin State Tiansi.

But after being taught a lesson by Liu Wufeng, Hong Feng became obedient.

Now that he is middle-aged, Hong Feng still looks elegant.

Hong Feng bowed in Jian Taiwen's direction and said in a leisurely tone, "In that case, I will respectfully obey your command."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hong Feng raised his hand.

Afterwards, two members of the Heavenly Monitoring Department took out a huge map and opened it in front of everyone.

When the map was opened, Shen Bai also observed it carefully.

He found that there were several special marks on the map, forming a line that passed through the entire Maple Forest State.

The marked places are all in the wilderness.

Hong Feng then pointed to these locations and said, "This is where the corpse-driving team will pass. His Majesty once said that the corpse-driving team helps the dead return to their homeland, so the Great Zhou Kingdom supports it. In this case, our two departments will guard this route this time."

"According to the rules, we have already assigned guards to each point. Unit C and Unit D will coordinate with each other to guard the area."

"I know the people in Division D have been a little tired lately. After all, they've been guarding the Three Fires Monastery. This time, Division B will be in charge of the Three Fires Monastery. It just so happens that Division B has fewer people, and there's only one person in the Three Fires Monastery, so you'll have a little free time."

"This time, the people from Division C will take on the heavy responsibility, so that the brothers from Division D can have more rest."

As he spoke, Hong Feng began to arrange the specific details.

Shen Bai listened silently, touching Amber's head from time to time, and then he found out who the member of Division C was that was paired with Division D 23 this time.

This time, Unit Ding 23 is paired with a total of three members from Unit C.

The three members of Group C are Zhao San, Qian Jiu and Chen Shi.

All three of them are veterans of Division D, and they were all promoted from Division C. Each of them has the strength of the Five Internal Organs Mirror, and they have been immersed in the Five Internal Organs Mirror for a long time, and they are all masters in it.

However, these three people are a bit old and have entered middle age, so it is difficult for them to move up, so they have been working in Department C.

After assigning the personnel, everyone headed towards their destination without hesitation or fuss.

It was naturally impossible for the corpse-drivers to pass through Fenglin State through the downtown area, so all the members who went to the wilderness rode fast horses.

After a long journey, everyone successfully arrived at their destination.

……

On the way, they went from near to far, so every time they arrived at a place, the member of the Tianjiansi assigned to this location would stop, and the rest of the people would continue to move forward.

As the number of people decreased, Shen Bai was getting farther and farther away from Fenglin Island.

There was nothing strange along the way, but since he had already joined the Tianjian Division, Shen Bai naturally would not slack off at this time.

He has always been a principled person and he always wants to do things well.

Soon, Shen Bai successfully arrived at the place he needed to guard.

As soon as they arrived, they dismounted and found a place to sit down.

There were a lot of stones on the ground, so Kong Fang and Huang Guang moved to the middle.

The three members of Team C looked at each other, led by Zhao San.

When everyone sat down, there was nothing to talk about.

After all, we all work in different departments. Although we meet each other from time to time, we don’t see each other very often.

Fortunately, Huang Guang and Kong Fang were chatty people and soon started chatting.

Shen Bai held Amber in his arms and interjected from time to time.

As we chatted, time gradually came to the afternoon.

As the sun sets, the atmosphere on Shen Bai's side is not awkward at all. After they have exhausted all the topics to talk about, they discuss what they have learned and verify each other's knowledge.

Zhao San and the other three members of Group C were also very curious about Shen Bai. While they inquired about Shen Bai's past, they knew when to stop and would not delve too deeply into the matter, so as not to arouse Shen Bai's disgust.

In this way, the sun gradually sets and night slowly approaches.

Zhao San held a fire starter in his hand, lit the torch he brought with him, and stuck it into the ground next to him, which became the only source of light.

Shen Bai rarely sits and chats at night like he is doing now, but he feels quite leisurely.

"Brother Shen has obviously never encountered this kind of thing. In fact, we have received the task of corpse-driving many times." Zhao San said with a smile: "It's no problem."

Shen Bai patted Amber's head and said, "I'm not worried about anything going wrong. I just think it's quite special for everyone to sit here and chat together."

Zhao San patted his thigh and said, "Brother Shen is really a wonderful person. However, these tasks have been going on for a long time, and everyone will get used to it. There will be many similar tasks in Fenglin State in the future."

In fact, after communicating for so long, Zhao San's people have become familiar with Shen Bai, who they were initially unfamiliar with.

They originally thought that a young prodigy like Shen Bai must be arrogant, but they didn't expect Shen Bai to be gentle as jade, which made them like him more.

Everyone chatted like this again.

At this moment, the night has grown darker.

Just when Shen Bai thought that it would take a long time for the corpse-driving team to reach his location tonight, a sound of footsteps suddenly rang out.

In this dark night, it is extremely obvious.

Several of them were from the Sky Monitoring Department, and they were all very alert to these special sounds.

Kong Fang looked back at the source of the sound and said, "It seems the corpse-driving team has arrived. There is no danger ahead."

After he finished speaking, he received no response. He subconsciously looked back and saw that everyone else had a solemn look on their faces.

Kong Fang asked curiously, "What happened? Why are you so serious?"

Zhao San did not answer, but Shen Bai gave the reply.

"There aren't many footsteps, only a few people, and they sound extremely panicked. It's likely something has happened."

Kong Fang listened carefully and found that it was exactly as Shen Bai said.

The footsteps were hurried and a little hurried, and there were not many of them.

After all, the team led by the corpse driver not only includes corpse drivers, but also thousands of corpses, but now there are only seven or eight people at most.

Shen Bai placed his hand on Han Yue's waist and looked at the source of the sound.

Amber in his arms stared at him with emerald eyes and let out a slight growl.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and in the dark woods, several figures suddenly walked out.

These people were wearing the uniforms of the Heavenly Supervisor and had badges hanging around their waists.

There was a hint of panic and anxiety on everyone's face.

When they saw Shen Bai, they hurriedly said.

"No need to wait here, hurry up, something big has happened!"

"The corpse-carrying team was attacked, and only about ten of them found us. All the corpses have disappeared."
