The mountain peak is collapsing.

Dust and smoke billowed towards Kaoshan City, as if a massive sandstorm was approaching.

The people in the city were terrified.

Liu Yi chuckled and said, "At their speed, it will probably take at least a year and a half to dig out the remains of Lady Shiji."

This is obviously an exaggeration. The disciples of the Back Mountain Gang are all cultivators. If experts like Bai Ruyun were to personally take action, they could unearth the remains of Lady Shiji in less than ten days.

But ten days is far too long for Bian Lang.

Once the Corpse Brother issues a corpse-driving mission, his thought is to complete the mission as quickly as possible and then enjoy his carefree life.

After resting overnight, I woke up the next day to find that only a small part of the mountain peak had been cut away.

Bian Lang suddenly realized that he had been too optimistic about the Kao Shan Gang.

After a quick breakfast, Bian Lang went directly to Bai Ruyun and told her that it would be better for him to handle the exhumation of the corpse himself.

Bai Ruyun naturally had no objections.

They wanted to dig out the body quickly, but their strength was limited, so they could only proceed step by step.

If all goes well, the remains of Lady Shiji should be unearthed in ten days at most, provided that the body is buried relatively shallow.

After the disciples of the Kaoshan Gang withdrew, Bian Lang, wielding the Pangu Axe, swung it down several times, sending the entire Kaoshan Peak flying backward.

Liu Yi watched in horror. The Pangu Axe was incredibly powerful, and if she wasn't careful, it could destroy the remains of Lady Shiji.

But Bian Lang didn't seem to care at all.

After leveling the mountain peak, a deep pit was found in the ground.

The pit was bottomless and pitch black inside, which was very creepy.

Bian Lang jumped in without hesitation.

After a moment's thought, Liu Yi jumped in as well.

Bai Ruyun looked at the other mountain lords with a complicated expression.

Those mountain lords all understood Bai Ruyun's meaning; without a doubt, now was the perfect opportunity to eliminate Bian Lang.

Anyone who knows Bian Lang's strength would not believe that this deep pit alone is enough to eliminate him.

Until Bian Lang and Liu Yi came up, Bai Ruyun and the others did nothing.

Doing nothing is the wise choice at this point.

"Master Bian, have you found it?" Bai Ruyun asked expectantly, though it was unclear what he was hoping for.

Bian Lang laughed and said, "The body of Lady Shiji is down there."

Bai Ruyun wanted to go down and see for herself after hearing this, but she didn't have the courage.

The people of Kaoshan Gang, generation after generation, probably never imagined that the body of the mythical figure Shiji Niangniang was buried beneath Kaoshan Peak.

Liu Yi was in a very good mood, simply because the remains of Lady Shiji were a stone sculpture.

This shows that the story of Lady Shiji being bullied by Nezha and others is a true story.

However, Liu Yi is now very worried. The corpses that Bian Lang chased earlier were at least flesh and blood. How can Shi Ji Niangniang, who has turned into stone, be chased?

But seeing Bian Lang's confident demeanor, she knew that her worries were unnecessary.

When it got dark, Bian Lang did not enter the deep pit, but stood at the edge of the pit and gently shook the Soul-Capturing Bell.

In the still of the night, the sound of the Soul-Capturing Bell is extremely eerie.

Bai Ruyun and the others came to the vicinity of the deep pit, wanting to see the remains of Lady Shiji with their own eyes.

But when the body actually crawled out of the pit, they were all shocked.

The reason was that the corpse was a huge stone sculpture.

But the joints of the stone sculpture can move, and they are very flexible.

The entire stone sculpture is over three zhang tall, with a waist as slender as a willow branch and an exquisitely detailed face.

Who would have thought that Lady Shiji was actually a beauty?

Bian Lang then clasped his hands in a fist salute to Bai Ruyun and the others, saying, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

"Master Bian, you're too kind. Please let me know if you ever need my help in the future." Bai Ruyun's attitude was unusually good.

Bian Lang nodded, then jumped onto Lady Shiji's shoulder and drove the corpse away.

Liu Yi hesitated for a moment, then flew up onto Lady Shiji's shoulder.

"When you were sitting on Xing Tian's shoulders, the view must have been better than it is now, right?" Liu Yi asked with a smile.

Xing Tian's height was nearly twenty zhang, far exceeding that of Shi Ji Niangniang, who was only three or four zhang tall.

Bian Lang laughed and said, "You'll find the scenery even better when we cross the river."

Although she was still far from the Tongtian River, Liu Yi was already very much looking forward to the world on the other side of the river.

Several days later, during their daytime rest, they unexpectedly encountered Dugu Qiusheng.

At that time, Dugu Qiusheng was chasing a unicorn.

That unicorn was very large; killing it should be easy.

However, since Dugu Qiusheng wanted to tame the unicorn, he naturally suffered a lot and ultimately failed.

Dugu Qiusheng clearly felt it was a great pity, so he found a place to sit down and kept sighing.

"Do you want to tame that unicorn as a mount?" Bian Lang stood at a distance and did not go over.

On the contrary, Dugu Qiusheng, upon suddenly hearing Bian Lang's voice, jumped to his feet, looking flustered.

But when he saw Liu Yi, Dugu Qiusheng's gaze was fixed on her.

Liu Yi felt a little embarrassed by the stares and had to ask, "Young City Lord, what are you doing here?"

"As you can see, I want to tame a unicorn." Dugu Qiusheng still felt quite embarrassed.

To avoid being rude to Liu Yi, the only option was to pretend to be calm.

Coming to his senses, Dugu Qiusheng was quite curious as to why Bian Lang and Liu Yi would appear in such a place.

“We need to move Lady Shiji’s body to the other side of the river,” Liu Yi said.

Dugu Qiusheng asked in surprise, "The corpse of Lady Shiji? To the other side of the river?"

Either of these two points would be enough to shock Dugu Qiusheng.

"It's exciting, isn't it?" Liu Yi asked with a smile.

Dugu Qiusheng nodded, then turned to Bian Lang and asked, "Brother Bian, may I come along?"

"Do you want to travel with me to transport corpses, or do you not want to be separated from your beloved?" Bian Lang asked with a smile.

Dugu Qiusheng chuckled and said, "Yes, yes, we have them all."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yi wanted to ask Dugu Qiusheng why he wasn't in Iron City observing mourning for his father, but instead came here to tame some kind of unicorn.

But such sad memories are not something to joke about.

Dugu Qiusheng was also shocked when he saw the remains of Lady Shiji.

However, he then stroked his chin, expressing his doubts about the origin of the stone carving.

Is it enough to say that this stone sculpture is the remains of Lady Shiji?

Could it be that someone simply created a statue of Lady Shiji based on their imagination?

Bian Lang and Liu Yi both looked at Dugu Qiusheng as if he were an idiot.

Bian Lang believes in Corpse Brother, and Liu Yi believes in Bian Lang; that's enough.

Dugu Qiusheng immediately felt very embarrassed.

After nightfall, Bian Lang manipulated the remains of Lady Shiji and continued on his journey.

Sitting on the shoulders of the corpse, Dugu Qiusheng felt as if he were in a dream.

“Brother Dugu, if this statue weren’t a corpse, I wouldn’t be able to control it,” Bian Lang explained with a smile.

Dugu Qiusheng nodded, still trusting Bian Lang implicitly.

With three people traveling together, they didn't feel lonely.

Soon after, they arrived at the Tongtian River.

In the darkness of night, only the rushing sound of the Tongtian River can be heard.
