of it.During the Qianlong era, rumors of paper figurines causing mischief spread throughout the Jiangnan region. It was said that paper figurines would enter homes and cut off people's queue (topknot)...Sistru Lin reached out, his fingertips were black and looked incredibly sharp, almost instantly rushing to my face.

I gasped, the sound stuck in my throat, unable to escape!

Suddenly, a figure dashed in front of me, blocking him.

Meng Shu!

Sithu Lin's hand plunged into her abdomen, she grasped Sithu Lin's forearm with one hand and quickly pinched a seal with the other--

Pinch the second and third fingers together with the middle joint of your index finger, Northern Emperor's Secret!

"My Lord Emperor! We have him!" Meng Shu's voice carried pain, but her eyes were extremely clear. Just as she finished the incantation, a powerful and icy aura instantly filled the entire stone chamber.

Such an atmosphere is just the tip of the iceberg—we only feel a small part. The towering fear lies hidden beneath the surface, only those who fall into the water will feel despair!

Jiang Qiyun's figure materialized behind Meng Shu — this was his lotus-shaped incarnation, concealing a hidden immortal technique within.

He held in his hand a white longsword, its blade so thin it was almost transparent.

"To the death Situ Lin, with whom do you wish to die..." His icy voice, like frost, carried a cold fury into her ears.

Sipu Lin panicked and desperately tried to pull his arm out, but Meng Shu held on tightly!

"My lord, you are a divine being, yet you've begun to play with schemes To interfere in mortal affairs, you will surely be punished by both earth and heaven!" he said with a sinister smile.

"Indeed." Jiang Qiyun sneered.

"Birth and death in the mortal world are governed by cause and effect. Celestial beings and deities should simply stand aside and observe... However, your repeated attacks on Mu Xia Qiao... She is my wife, carrying a spirit within her. You think she's still just an ordinary person"

Si Tu Lin's mouth twitched, he secretly gave his elder sister a wink.

"Qiyun...be careful..." I could only manage a warning, my body numb and unable to move.

He stood with his back to me, suspended in mid-air. His jet-black hair danced slightly in the cold light, making him appear especially menacing and frigid.

When he heard my voice, he turned his head slightly and glanced at me: " ... Help her press the Quchi point."

"Acupoint Qichi My brother immediately pressed the acupoint at my elbow, which is the convergence point of the Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian. Could I have really been poisoned by corpse poison"

Jiang Qiyun raised his sword, and a look of fear flashed in Situ Lin's eyes. Jiang Qiyun's sword was a soul-stealing magic weapon. Once he was struck by it, his soul would be scattered!

In a panic, he immediately dove down, dragging Meng Shu toward the corpse pool.

Jiang Qiyun let out a cold laugh: "Here we go again"

He raised his hand, a silver chain from his sleeve shot out, but was blocked by a leaping zombie king!

The Corpse King pounced on Meng Shu, opening his jaws wide to tear off a large chunk of flesh!

"Ouch!" Meng Shu cried out in pain.

Jiang Qiyun frowned: “ … It’s alright, come out.”

Meng Shu instantly transformed into a ghost, breaking free from her shell. She rubbed her uninjured shoulders and complained, "Ouch! This Corpse King's strength is terrifying! Hee hee, Your Majesty, you're really considerate of your subordinates!"

Dozens of Corpse Kings were released outside by the woman, her eyes were fierce, but she shouted at Situ Lin: "Run!"

The Corpse King surged into the stone chamber. Jiang Qiyun's Soul Shackles had no effect on these undead things. He leaped into the air and swung his sword at Situ Lin, the silvery blade light slashing across Meng Shu's shell. Situ Lin's face contorted in pain.

Two points of pearly light were drawn out by Jiang Qiyun's sword edge, he opened his palm, and the white glow gathered in his hand.

That's guts!

"....corpse dogs, shadowy sparrows...Humph." Jiang Qiyun sneered, a flash of light in his palm, shattering the two souls into dust!

Sistru Lin dragged Meng Shu's shell into the corpse mire. Before the corpse mire closed, Jiang Qiyun quickly pinched a formula with his left hand, and the tip of his sword drew a silver light talisman that fell into the corpse mire.

A muffled thud echoed through the corpse-ridden wasteland! It was like a grenade exploding, sending limbs and gore flying everywhere.

This... Jiang Qiyun is quite cunning too. He actually embedded so many backdoors in the shell he made for Meng Shu...

Jiang Qiyun sheathed his sword and walked in front of me.

"Is he dead" I asked hastily.

" ...No, his life shouldn't end. I destroyed his two souls, let him see if he dares to reach for you." Jiang Qiyun reached out and pulled my clothes down, revealing the small wound on my shoulder.

The corpse king at the gate roared wildly, and Long Xiaogē let out a few strange cries from his throat.

Like the gurgling of an animal, the movements of the Corpse Kings gradually slowed, and Long Xiao's hands slowly drooped.

The Great Corpse King's soul left his body, a low and raspy voice echoing in the stone chamber: "Divine One, Northern Tai Emperor... does my karmic debt end here..."

Jiang Qiyun looked at the corpse standing in front of the armchair, shook his head and said: "I am not an omniscient god... but life and death are a cycle. Your resentment has dissipated most of it, but you survived unharmed, which means you still have the chance to cultivate again."

"Ho ho ho... The heavens are nothing more than this... Even though I did many wicked deeds in my life, I was able to survive until now—"

Although you have committed evil deeds, you have sheltered your family and friends, and protected the peace of your land. On matters of right and wrong, you have not erred, nor have you forgotten your ancestors or betrayed your people... The Netherworld punishes evil and rewards good; it will not confuse right from wrong." Jiang Qiyun said as he embraced me.

"Mu Yun Fan." He called me by my brother's name.

"Huh" My brother looked at him in some surprise.

"We can't let that woman escape just now. She knows a lot about the secrets of crafting Corpse Kings. If she leaves this village, she'll cause more trouble. We need to bring her back as soon as possible," Jiang Qiyun frowned and ordered.

"Good... Dragon... Eh Where's Little Brother Dragon!"

The Great Corpse King's soul left Long Xiaoge in less than a minute, and he vanished!

"Go chase that woman, then Meng Shu, you go too." Jiang Qiyun ordered.

"Yes!" Meng Shu shed her carapace, looking much more relaxed.

In the stone room, he was left holding me. The Great Corpse King issued a string of incomprehensible commands. One by one, the Corpse Kings hung their heads and stood against the wall, motionless.

"...Mu Xia Qiao, I almost hurt you..." The Corpse King said in a hoarse voice.

"It's nothing, just a little bite." I turned my head to look at my shoulder. There wasn't any bleeding, just a puncture wound, and I felt a cold sensation creep into my skin.

"Hmm, one can't be careless... Corpse Qi mingling with blood will have an effect. It's best to get a skilled poison-removing doctor to take a look." The Great Corpse King's aged voice arose, at this moment he seemed like an elder apologetically speaking to his juniors.

"I will make my descendants remember your kindness, and from now on, the Ganshi Clan will never be enemies with the Mu Family..."

》》》

"Qiyun, have you been here the whole time" I was carried out of the crevice by him. The sight of blood and mangled limbs outside was horrifying, so I closed my eyes and tried to find a topic to distract myself.

“No, Meng Shu grabbed the person and used her secret technique to summon me— this barrier was cracked by the Great Corpse King and Lingtai’s powers. The corpse handler must re-weave the barrier, otherwise, the Corpse King will be attracted by the anger and lose control.”

He glanced back at the mountain crevice and sighed, "Humans always want to grasp power they can't possibly obtain. No matter how careful they are, once an accident happens, they are the first to be struck back."

"Is this little wound serious" I asked, pointing to my shoulder with some concern.

He frowned and pondered for a moment.

"...go find Cheng Bansxian." I didn't know your size at all and just bought things based on feeling.” I mumbled while chewing my food, “Wait until you try them on. If they don't fit, I still have time to exchange them tomorrow....
