Corpse drivers are not common in the empire.

When Bian Lang said it earlier, You Feng and Helian Xue didn't think much of it, but now that they heard Hua Niang say it, they instantly thought of an impossible possibility.

"Could Bian Lang be the corpse driver Her Majesty the Empress has been searching for?" Helian Xue asked, his mouth agape, his eyes filled with disbelief.

You Feng also stared wide-eyed and said, "It doesn't look like it at all."

"His Majesty doesn't even remember his name, and his memory of his appearance is also very vague. The only thing he's sure of is that he's a corpse driver, and a very skilled one," Hua Niang said with a smile.

If Bian Lang is indeed the corpse driver the Empress is looking for, then Feng Xiao taking him to meet the Empress would be an immense achievement.

No matter how much nonsense Song Feng spouts in front of the Empress, she will not touch Peach Blossom Cave.

"What if it isn't?" You Feng felt that it was always best to prepare for the worst.

Hua Niang said, "That doesn't matter. Over the years, there have been at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, corpse drivers brought before the Empress."

Feng Xiao felt that this matter needed to be carefully considered, after all, the situation they were currently facing was very complicated.

It is still unknown how Song Feng will deal with them. At this critical juncture, bringing a corpse driver to see the Empress may very well backfire.

After Feng Xiao returned to her room and packed her things, she began to catch up on sleep.

...

"Bian Lang, are there really corpses in this place?" Liu Yi asked, frowning.

Bian Lang led them to the desolate mountains and wilderness.

“Liu Yi, I think you shouldn’t doubt Brother Bian’s ability to find the corpse.” Dugu Qiusheng had never doubted this point.

When they were in the Prison Land, Bian Lang could dig out the remains of Xing Tian, ​​Ao Feng, or Shi Ji Niangniang, no matter how deeply buried they were.

Liu Yi was just asking casually and did not doubt Bian Lang's abilities.

Bian Lang looked ahead and sighed, "It seems to be a pitiful person who died here."

The three of them went down the cliff and split up to search.

After a while, Liu Yi found the body.

The body was laid on a pine tree that grew horizontally from the cliff, its clothes tattered and its death gruesome.

"At such a young age, it's already like this..." Dugu Qiusheng felt it was a great pity.

This Shen Rusui was a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, and she was very pretty.

The Shen family in the capital must be a wealthy and powerful family. It can only be said that this girl was born into a good family, but she was not destined to enjoy the good fortune.

As darkness fell, Bian Lang placed the talisman on Shen Rusui's forehead and led her back to Peach Blossom Cave.

Feng Xiao was already waiting there, with Ding Xiang standing beside him.

"Lord of the Wind Cave, what are you doing with Xiangxiang?" Dugu Qiusheng asked in confusion.

Feng Xiao said, "This girl wants to stay with you."

Feng Xiao planned to settle Dingxiang in Peach Blossom Cave, but Dingxiang didn't trust them at all.

This is understandable, after all, Ding Xiang had previously appeared in a talent show at a brothel.

If it weren't for the fact that Bian Lang and the others were destined to be with her, her innocence would have been taken by some old man long ago, and she would have already started taking clients.

"Brother Bian, I won't cause you any trouble." Dingxiang's face was full of longing, and her voice was trembling with tears.

Bian Lang sighed and said, "How about this, you come with us to the capital, and we'll take good care of you then."

Dingxiang nodded happily, without saying anything more.

Actually, she wanted to stay with Bian Lang forever, feeling that only with Bian Lang's protection could her heart find peace.

But she didn't dare to voice her thoughts. At least Bian Lang was willing to take her to the capital, and that was enough.

We'll talk about the future when we get to the capital.

"I didn't expect this corpse to be so beautiful." Feng Xiao's gaze fell on Shen Rusui's corpse.

Bian Lang asked, "Does the Wind Cave Master know Shen Rusui?"

"Ru Sui?" Feng Xiao was stunned.

She quickly realized what was happening, her eyes widened, her breathing became rapid, and she asked in a hoarse voice, "She...she couldn't possibly be Ru Sui, could she?"

Dugu Qiusheng cooperated by lifting the talisman hanging over Shen Ruhui's face so that Feng Xiao could see it clearly.

"Ru Sui, how could you..." Feng Xiao could hardly believe it.

You should know that she and Shen Ruhui grew up together.

She had previously received a letter from Shen Ruhui saying that she wanted to come to Peach Blossom Cave to visit her.

But after waiting for a long time, Shen Ruhui did not arrive. Feng Xiao also sent several letters, but received no reply.

Who would have thought that Shen Ruhui would die near Peach Blossom Cave?

Who did it?

Bian Lang said, "Judging from the degree of decomposition of the body, she has been dead for at least half a month."

"That was precisely when I lost contact with Ru Sui." Feng Xiao's eyes were filled with tears, and he was filled with regret. It turned out that Shen Ru Sui had really come to Peach Blossom Cave.

Upon learning the location where Shen Ruhui's body was found, Feng Xiao was even more bewildered.

When Shen Ruhui comes from the capital, she usually goes to Phoenix City first, and then teleports directly from Phoenix City to Peach Blossom Cave.

How could her body be found hundreds of miles south of Peach Blossom Cave?

You should know that place is deserted and teeming with wild beasts; generally, only cultivators who are undergoing training would go there.

"Go investigate immediately, and find out the truth as soon as possible, then notify me." If Song Feng's matter hadn't been more urgent, Feng Xiao would definitely have stayed to thoroughly investigate Shen Ruhui's death.

You Feng and the others actually wanted to remind Feng Xiao that Shen Ruhui was very likely killed by Bian Lang and his group.

Shen Rusui's body was in such a desolate place, and it was hanging on a pine tree on a cliff. If it wasn't the real culprit, how could it have been found?

Feng Xiao had naturally thought of this as well. Fortunately, they would be traveling together, allowing them to investigate Bian Lang and the others gradually.

"Brother Bian, can this corpse-driving technique be used for teleportation?" Dugu Qiusheng asked curiously as they arrived in front of the teleportation array.

Bian Lang said speechlessly, "Didn't you hear what the Wind Cave Master said? It's a million miles to the capital. With Miss Shen's short legs, let alone three months, it would take three years to get there."

Since he was in such a world, Bian Lang believed he could definitely use the teleportation array.

Even after the teleportation array was prepared, the Corpse Brother did not come out to stop it, which shows that it was indeed feasible.

They entered the teleportation array and reappeared in Phoenix City.

Then, they were teleported again from Phoenix City, directly to a city 30,000 miles away.

We still have to travel over 600 miles to reach the next teleportation point.

Feng Xiao told the group that the reason they couldn't teleport continuously was partly due to the scarcity of materials for building teleportation arrays, but the bigger reason was that teleportation was impossible in some areas.

For example, the teleportation array will not work for the next few hundred miles they are about to travel.

Otherwise, a distance of several hundred miles could be crossed with a little struggle.

In some places, the distance is nearly ten thousand miles and teleportation is impossible.

These places that can interfere with teleportation arrays are basically uninhabited areas, extremely desolate.

If all goes well, we can arrive in the capital in as little as a month.

However, because the process of transporting corpses by the border can only be carried out at night, it will definitely slow down the process.

Three months should be more than enough time.

"Could these teleportation forbidden zones be the territory of monsters?" Dugu Qiusheng inexplicably thought of the Tiger Demon King of Tiger Back Mountain.
