Stop pretending, the fake heiress is actually a master of metaphysics.

Since the Xuanmen Guild is trustworthy for the time being.

Shen Nian then handed over Chen Ci’s statements about the corpse, totem, and female ghost to the Xuanmen Guild for investigation.

After all, this sect did exist within the Xuanmen Guild, and it would leave some traces no matter what.

This case has indeed caused a huge uproar within the guild.

If what the female ghost said is true, this is a bizarre case of a cult persecuting ordinary people.

People from the Xuanmen sect are quite different from ordinary people. One of the strict orders for Xuanmen guild's field personnel is that they must never harm ordinary people.

At best, they will be punished; at worst, they will be dismissed from their posts.

Those who possess mystical arts are also not allowed to participate in various public examinations, such as the college entrance examination, sports competitions, etc.

This is to avoid the unfairness that would result from the involvement of metaphysical individuals on ordinary people.

The guild has established a series of strict restrictions and regulations in order to protect ordinary people to the greatest extent possible.

But now we know that there is a sect that uses its mystical arts to slaughter ordinary people.

How can we tolerate this?

The case was eventually reported up the chain of command, eventually reaching the highest leader.

In the Flying Zombie incident, Lin Xiyue was just joking that perhaps heavy firepower weapons should be activated.

But this time, perhaps this decision will actually be made.

After all, a sect that disregards human life and possesses extraordinary abilities is no longer a sect.

The state may even designate it as an anti-social organization.

...What else is this but an anti-social organization? This is a complete disregard for the safety of the people and the laws of the country.

When Hu Die told Shen Nian about the guild's decision, Shen Nian was on a private plane heading to the mouth of the Yellow River.

Upon hearing this, she merely gave a cold smile.

Do these people really think this is the world from a thousand years ago?

He throws out bait, sets off alone, heads to the enemy's lair, and then perishes there.

This trick... is outdated.

Such a stupid story would only appear in a storybook from eight hundred years ago.

Why are they allowed to unite and suppress them, but Shen Nian is not allowed to use the power of the state to deal with them through legitimate means?

Those whom Heaven does not punish, the law will.

After Shen Nian investigated the ins and outs of the original owner's life swap, she handed the matter over to the Xuanmen Guild for handling.

She then took Gu Yuncheng and the flying zombie—Shen Nian had named the flying zombie, Xiaobai, after it had completed its socialization training—and headed to the mouth of the Yellow River.

It is also the location of the Black Dragon's underground palace.

Go find the remaining blank book.

As for this sect...

It's not Shen Nian's turn to make a move yet.

Shen Nian will only consider taking action once the guild has confirmed their location and decided on their next move.

She wanted to see if these people, having failed in their attempt to steal a chicken, could hide in the secret realm forever.

The most important task at present is to go to the underground palace and bring out the Heavenly Book.

When the plane landed, members of the Xuanmen branch came to meet it.

When flying zombies leave Jinghai, their itinerary must be reported.

The Xuanmen Guild was naturally aware of their itinerary. They just didn't know exactly what Shen Nian was going to do in Bohai.

The people who met them took them to a hotel under the Xuanmen Guild.

After all, there are many non-human beings in the Xuanmen Guild. If they stayed in the same hotel as ordinary people when they went out to do missions, it would be hard to guarantee that the lives and safety of ordinary people would not be affected. Therefore, members of the Xuanmen Guild always stay in special hotels when they travel.

The people who came to meet him looked at Xiaobai curiously for a few moments, finding it hard to believe that this was the legendary flying zombie.

This looks...so cute and exquisite!

Annoyed by their stares, Xiao Bai bared its teeth at the group, revealing a set of long, sharp fangs.

Shen Nian didn't tolerate his temper at all, and raised her hand to slap him: "I already told you to hide your teeth when you're out. What if ordinary people see them?"

noob:……

He reluctantly pulled his teeth back in and ground them down hard.

Gu Yuncheng looked at Xiaobai with great sympathy.

Then I remembered the icy, winter-like expression on his brother's face when Xiaobai was taken back to Tiannan Mountain.

His brother's voice was calm, but Gu Yuncheng could still hear the gritted teeth in it.

"This is... the dog your master wants to keep?"

Gu Yuncheng chuckled dryly twice: "Although Xiaobai is a bit good-looking, he's not human after all. Brother, why are you arguing with a zombie?"

Gu Yuncheng thought to himself, "Xiaobai wasn't brought back by me. My brother is just a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong. He doesn't dare to be angry with our master, so he comes here to torment me."

Gu Qiwen gave him and Xiaobai a cool look.

As a result, Gu Yuncheng lost two black cards that day.

When Gu Qiwen learned that Shen Nian was taking Xiaobai and Gu Yuncheng to Bohai, but not him, his expression turned even more...

An indescribable chill.

That day, Gu Yuncheng couldn't sleep and was practicing his sword in the courtyard when he saw his brother enter his master's courtyard.

They didn't come out until the next morning.

After that, Gu Qiwen's attitude towards Xiaobai improved somewhat.

They didn't mention Shen Nian bringing only the two of them again.

Gu Yuncheng: ...

His master has really worked hard.

-

The hotel provided a presidential suite for three people, which consisted of three separate rooms.

This allows Shen Nian to easily observe the truly lively flying zombies.

The three of them had lunch at the invitation of the branch members, and Shen Nian accepted the invitation because she couldn't refuse their hospitality.

Being located at the mouth of the sea, the local specialty is naturally a wide variety of seafood.

A whole table was laid out with king crab, lobster, and caviar.

Shen Nian was generally indifferent to food for living people, and even less so to seafood. He casually ate a few bites of crab and fish. However, the flying zombie, who didn't eat much, showed great enthusiasm for seafood.

One small crab at a time.

Shen Nian: ...

I wonder if these flying zombies are allergic to seafood.

She didn't give the flying zombie any medicine.

The two buried themselves in their food, while Shen Nian chatted with the branch leader, casually handing them a bottle of pills and a stack of talismans.

The person in charge accepted it with trepidation.

Although I've heard from the Jinghai Guild that Master Shen is no ordinary person, and the pills he gives out are all miraculous medicines that can improve one's cultivation.

Any talisman he holds is a rare and valuable high-level talisman.

"There's no need for you all to keep me company any longer."

Shen Nian said calmly, "We cannot disclose the purpose of our visit here, nor can we have anyone accompany us. Please understand."

The person in charge nodded: "We understand, we won't pry into the master's mission. If you need anything, you can always ask someone from the branch for help."

The person in charge wiped the sweat from his forehead: "The sea has been rather turbulent lately. We don't know if some great demon has appeared in the sea again. We haven't had time to send anyone to investigate yet. Master, please be careful."

Shen Nian nodded: "I understand, thank you for your concern. I will let you know as soon as there is any news."

The members of the branch returned with smiles on their faces, carrying the pills Shen Nian had given them. Shen Nian glanced at the two who were engrossed in eating and said with a hint of exasperation, "Have you finished eating?"

"Come with me after you finish eating."

Gu Yuncheng: "...So what exactly are we here for?"

Shen Nian: ...

She was already itching to clean house.
