What do you mean by saying that the corpses I sew are all ominous creatures?

Chapter 313 The action was quite fast.

This person's identity is currently difficult to ascertain, and their stance is also uncertain.

Li Qing must be busy setting up the formation for Tingyu Pavilion at this time, which must be quite taxing.

Jin Wanliang had to coordinate intelligence, so he was definitely on edge.

If I were to tell them now that there is a monster lurking in the shadows of Jiangcheng, a monster that even I can only look up to and that can crush a Dan Realm expert with a flick of the wrist.

Aside from increasing their psychological stress and panic, it offers no real help.

"Since this is a test aimed at me, then let me deal with it myself."

I took a deep breath and made my decision.

The car traveled through the night for about fifteen minutes before finally entering the old town area.

The streets here are noticeably narrower, lined with old sycamore trees that have stood for many years, their dense foliage casting dappled shadows under the streetlights.

Tingyuxuan is located in a bluestone alley at the deepest part of the old city.

Because the alley was too narrow for the Toyota Prado to drive in, I had to park the car in an open-air parking space outside the alley entrance.

I turned off the engine, removed the key, picked up my suitcase and backpack, and casually rolled up the torn left sleeve of my windbreaker.

After covering up the scratch, I got out of the car.

As I walked along the bluestone path, the surroundings were so quiet that I could only hear the sound of my own footsteps.

But this is only a superficial appearance.

In my perception, the closer I got to Tingyuxuan, the thicker the earth energy in the surrounding air became.

It even carried a hint of chilling sharpness.

As you walk deeper into the alley, a three-story antique-style wooden building comes into view.

At this moment, the wooden door of Tingyuxuan was ajar, and dim light shone through the crack.

As soon as I stepped down the steps, I keenly sensed several extremely subtle yet highly aggressive auras embedded in the wooden pillars beneath the threshold and on either side.

If someone unfamiliar with these things were to barge in, they would likely have their mind thrown into disarray by these energies.

"That kid Li Qing, he's really fast at taking action."

After smiling, I circulated the dark jade-colored evil energy within my body, forced out a wisp from my fingertip, and then gently touched it on a hidden rune on the door frame.

That was the "key" that Li Qing had specially left for me; he even sent me a photo to explain it to me.

As the malevolent energy circulated, the repulsive killing intent instantly dissipated.

I pushed open the heavy wooden door and went inside.

The first floor of Tingyuxuan was originally a spacious tea hall with a central courtyard.

But now, all the tables and chairs here have been cleared out.

Instead, the ground was covered with cinnabar, yellow paper, copper coins, and all sorts of strange and unusual feng shui artifacts.

In the very center of the courtyard, there was a huge bill.

Li Qing was shirtless, wearing only a pair of shorts, holding a brush covered in cinnabar, and was writing furiously on a lightning-struck wooden array plate with his buttocks sticking out.

The dark circles under his eyes were so deep they looked like he'd been punched twice, his hair was a mess, and he exuded a sense of exhaustion from staying up all night.

On the other side of the bill, Jin Wanliang sat in a grand chair.

He wasn't as disheveled as Li Qing, but his chubby face was also covered in oil and sweat.

On the coffee table in front of him were three tablets and two encrypted phones. His fingers flew across the screens as he muttered something to himself.

Upon hearing the door open, the two of them simultaneously looked up.

"Brother Chen, you've finally arrived!"

When Jin Wanliang saw it was me, he breathed a long sigh of relief, put down his tablet, and stood up.

"Why did it take you so long to move?"

I just saw a report from my scouts on the outskirts; they said there seems to be some unusual energy fluctuations in an abandoned factory not far from where you are.

I was worried you might have bumped into something unclean.

A slight thought crossed my mind. Jin Wanliang's intelligence network was indeed sharp; they had even detected the slightest movement in the abandoned factory area.

But the expression on my face didn't change at all.

After smiling, I casually put my luggage down: "There's a lot of stuff, it took a while to pack it all."

To avoid being followed again, I took a longer route and didn't run into any trouble.

"It's good that we didn't run into any trouble."

Li Qing straightened up, threw the vermilion pen in his hand onto the bill, and picked up the towel around his neck to wipe the sweat from his face.

"Damn it, this Bagua Mystery Formation and White Tiger Killing Formation is too mentally taxing."

To make this building as solid as an ironclad fortress, I even buried several of my most treasured magical artifacts inside.

If you don't come soon, I'm thinking of going to sleep.

"Thanks for your hard work."

I walked up to the bill and looked at the array plate covered with intricate runes. I could feel the immense earth energy contained within it.

"How is the formation being set up?"

"The outer perimeter's tracking array and energy-locking array have all been activated."

Li Qing picked up the thermos next to him and took a big gulp of strong tea.

"As for the internal killing formation, there are only a few key points left. I'll put in a little extra effort tonight and we can finish it off."

"There's no rush. Go get some sleep first."

Seeing how he looked like he could die at any moment, I offered him a word of advice.

"Jiangcheng hasn't completely descended into chaos yet; we still have time."

If you fall first, who will maintain this formation?

"Sleep my ass! I won't feel at ease even with my eyes closed until this formation is completed."

Li Qing waved his hand and picked up the vermilion pen again.

"Leave me alone."

Old Jin, take him to the third floor.

I converted the room next to mine into a quiet room; the energy there is the most stable, making it the most suitable place to house that brat, Master Liu.

"Alright."

Jin Wanliang nodded and waved to me: "Brother Chen, come with me."

I picked up my luggage and followed Jin Wanliang up the wooden staircase on the side of the first floor.

The second floor originally housed several elegant private rooms, but now they are all covered with yellow talismans by Li Qing, and the doors and windows are tightly closed.

We didn't stay on the second floor; we went straight up to the third floor.

Jin Wanliang pushed open the innermost carved wooden door: "This is the room."

Li Qing deliberately set up a small spirit-gathering array here, which can not only isolate external detection, but also slowly gather the surrounding earth energy.

This will greatly benefit the nurturing of your snake egg.

Following Jin Wanliang, I entered the room.

The room was dark, with only faint moonlight filtering in from the window.

A faint sandalwood scent filled the air, just as Jin Wanliang had said; the atmosphere here was exceptionally calm and tranquil.

The moment you step inside, most of your restlessness dissipates.

"Quite thoughtful."

After muttering something to myself, I placed my backpack on the wooden bed in the center of the room.

Then he turned to Jin Wanliang and said, "Old Jin, why don't you go and rest for a while too?"

The next few days are likely to be a tough battle.

"I see."

Jin Wanliang rubbed his cheeks.

"I've already assigned a few trustworthy guys to keep an eye on the intelligence network, and they'll notify me immediately if there's any trouble."
