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

"I had just discovered the feng shui scheme of raising Gu in the mountains and rivers, and before I could remove it, I was targeted by the Black Li people."

Those guys were like dogs with noses in the mountains; you couldn't shake them off no matter what you did.

"I was on the run and finally found a hidden cave."

Li Qing sighed and continued.

"I originally planned to treat my wounds in the cave and set up some feng shui formations to block the pursuers."

As a result, I had barely finished bandaging my wound and hadn't had time to recover when Black Dawn's pursuers arrived.

As he said this, a hint of lingering fear flashed in Li Qing's eyes.

"That group of pursuers were no ordinary scouts; they were led by three genuine experts at the Dan realm, and followed by more than a dozen skilled fighters."

Li Qing tapped the table with his finger.

"I was already in poor condition at the time, having been hunted down for days and severely exhausted."

Moreover, when I was breaking the formation before, I was besieged by the experts of Hei Li and suffered serious internal injuries.

As the cave became surrounded, my heart sank. I thought I was really going to die there.

I listened quietly without interrupting him.

I can imagine the desperate situation they were in.

A feng shui master, severely injured, is besieged by three Dan realm experts inside a sealed cave.

It was a situation where there was almost no chance of survival.

"Just as the Black Li people were about to rush into the cave, and I was also preparing to fight to the death, that woman..."

"That's Jiang Ling, whom you mentioned. She just suddenly appeared."

Li Qing's tone became slightly wistful as he spoke.

"She appeared out of nowhere, charging in from behind the pursuers."

The methods she used were very strange; they weren't orthodox Taoist practices, but rather a combination of extremely sophisticated Gu poison and hidden weapons.

With her first move, she instantly felled several of the outer henchmen, tearing a gap in the encirclement.

Li Qing looked at me and shrugged.

"However, three experts at the Dan realm were stationed in that wave of pursuers."

Although Jiang Ling's Gu technique is powerful, her cultivation level doesn't seem to be very high.

Even if she suddenly joined the fray, catching Hei Li's group off guard, it wouldn't change the overall situation at all.

"We were forced to join forces to fight the enemy at the entrance of the cave."

However, aside from her low cultivation level, the girl's strength was indeed quite good.

Not only was she skilled in Gu poison, but her movements were also incredibly strange.

We worked together; I used a feng shui killing formation to restrain her, while she looked for an opportunity to strike deadly.

In the end, we fought with all our might, but we only managed to kill the weakest of the Dan Realm cultivators, barely managing to tear a gap in the encirclement and escape.

At this point, Li Qing picked up his teacup and drank the slightly cooled tea in one gulp.

"After escaping, the pursuers from Hei Li continued to relentlessly pursue them."

We ran around like headless flies through the dense forests of the Ten Thousand Mountains, and finally, during the encirclement, we were forced to the edge of that cliff, where we were once again surrounded.

Li Qing looked at me, a hint of lingering fear flashing in her eyes, but then a smile appeared on her face.

"You'll know what happened next."

Just as we were about to jump off the cliff, you appeared out of nowhere like a demon.

After listening to Li Qing's story, I remained silent for a moment.

I've always believed that there aren't that many coincidences in this world.

Jiang Ling's appearance was most likely not a chance encounter.

She was likely following Hei Li's pursuers all the way, or she was secretly keeping an eye on Li Qing's movements.

She only chose to help Li Qing when he was in dire straits.

"Tell me about it."

Li Qing patted the back of his hand and looked at me helplessly.

"In that situation, there were two Dan Realm experts and a bunch of henchmen chasing and biting us like mad dogs."

I didn't even have time to catch my breath, let alone ask her name.

He leaned back in his chair and let out a long breath.

"Besides, given the circumstances at the time, how could I possibly care about so many things?"

All I know is that the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Since she was willing to risk her life to save me, it proves that she has no ill intentions towards me at the moment.

"What other choice did I have but to run away with her?"

I nodded to indicate that I understood.

Indeed, in a life-or-death situation, survival is the only instinct, and who would care about the other person's identity or name?

However, Li Qing was unaware of Jiang Ling's identity, but I knew it perfectly well.

At this point, Li Qing seemed to realize what was going on.

He stopped what he was doing, looked at me with some suspicion, and asked:

"Wait a minute, how do you know this Jiang Ling?"

Judging from your tone just now, you two seem to know each other quite well?

I picked up the teacup in front of me, took a sip of tea, and then began to explain to him.

"Actually, we're not that close."

I put down my teacup and looked at Li Qing.

"After we returned from the area outside the Great Wall that time, the funeral home hired a new assistant, and that was her."

I immediately sensed that something was off about her; her aura was unusual.

So, I secretly asked Lao Jin and Lu Yan to investigate her background.

"And the result?"

Li Qing immediately perked up and leaned forward.

"As a result, her background record was spotless in the General Administration's system; she was just an ordinary person, a recent graduate."

I shook my head.

"Although I always felt that there was something wrong with her, I didn't have any solid evidence, so I could only keep her by my side and observe her for the time being."

"And then what? How did she end up in southern Xinjiang?" Li Qing pressed.

"Later, the Zhou family's witchcraft case occurred in Jiangcheng."

I will briefly recount the events of that incident.

"In that incident, I was seriously injured by the Holy Maiden of Wandie Valley."

At that critical moment, Jiang Ling suddenly appeared, intending to take away the Gu King of Wandie Valley, but was stopped by Lu Yan.

It was at that moment that the Holy Maiden of Ten Thousand Butterflies Valley saw Jiang Ling's true face and immediately cried out, "Sister!"

"Holy crap?"

Li Qing's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but swear.

"The elder sister of the Holy Maiden of Ten Thousand Butterflies Valley? Then what is she doing lurking by your side in Jiangcheng?"

"Am I after your good looks or your amazing necrology skills?"

I ignored his teasing and shook my head, continuing:

"After that incident, she completely disappeared and never appeared in Jiangcheng again."

Later, I learned some inside information from the General Administration.

The Holy Maiden of Ten Thousand Butterflies Valley does indeed have an older sister, who was the former Holy Maiden.

but……"

I paused for a moment, looking at Li Qing's curious face.

"However, the former saintess died ten years ago."

Moreover, judging from their ages, the former Holy Maiden's age doesn't match Jiang Ling's at all.

Jiang Ling looks to be in her early twenties, while the former Holy Maiden, if she were alive, would be at least in her thirties now.

After listening to my story, Li Qing's expression was quite varied.

He stared blankly for a long time with his mouth agape before reaching out to scratch his messy hair.

"What the hell is this?"

Li Qing frowned, his face full of disbelief.

"A female college student with a clean and innocent record went to the southern border and became the sister of the Holy Maiden of Ten Thousand Butterflies Valley who had been dead for ten years."

This is even more outrageous than the suspense novels I've read!

So what exactly is she? A reincarnation? Or immortal?
