Within April, bring the remains of the Iron-Blooded Marquis to the Pavilion of Joy.

The Iron-Blooded Marquis wielded immense power and ambition, constantly cultivating his own influence through the Dragon Guard Manor, with the ultimate goal of usurping the throne.

Unfortunately, at the crucial moment, he was betrayed by the woman he loved and killed by the secret agents he had carefully trained.

The information provided by Corpse Brother is that the body of Iron-Blooded Marquis is currently at Dragon Guard Manor.

Iron-Blooded Marquis was originally a member of the royal family. He could have been buried in the imperial mausoleum in a grand manner after his death, but because he intended to rebel, he naturally could not be buried in the imperial mausoleum.

However, considering the merits of the Iron-Blooded Marquis, the emperor showed special leniency and allowed him to be buried in the imperial mausoleum.

But the heroes of the martial arts world who had been persecuted by the Dragon Guard Manor would never allow this to come true.

The Dragon Guard Manor is heavily guarded, as is the Imperial Mausoleum.

The only time the heroes could make a move was during the funeral procession.

The distance from Hulong Villa to the imperial mausoleum is not far.

This stretch of road must be heavily guarded and fraught with danger.

After reading the Corpse Brother's hint, Bian Lang looked helpless.

The corpse-driving task previously posted by Corpse Brother involved a corpse lying there that no other corpse-driving people could handle, except for Bian Lang, who could easily drive the corpse on his journey.

But this time, they actually want him to steal the corpse.

The emperor wants to bury the Iron-Blooded Marquis in the imperial mausoleum, while the heroes of the martial arts world want to destroy the evidence of his body. Bian Lang needs to snatch the body from both sides and deliver it to the Joyful God Pavilion.

This corpse-transportation mission is extremely difficult. If the corpse brother doesn't reward him upon success and immediately ends his abstinence period, Bian Lang might as well just abandon the corpse brother.

The reduction in the abstinence period can only be rewarded by the Corpse Brother; the days that pass by normally will not affect the abstinence period.

Bian Lang was extremely happy during this period.

Every day, he would just drink tea, listen to music, and watch Shangguan Hongyu practice swordsmanship.

Now that the day of parting had arrived again, Bian Lang took out the Fire Kirin Sword and gave it to Shangguan Hongyu.

The Red Rain Sword is a fine sword, but the Fire Kirin Sword is a rare treasure.

Shangguan Hongyu wielded the sword for a while, its light like fire, its power boundless, which she found quite delightful.

Just then, a servant came over and said that the Iron Lady had invited them.

The Iron Lady is admiring the flowers in the back garden.

"You should all know about Zhu Wushi's murder, right?" The Iron Lady went straight to the point.

Bian Lang chuckled inwardly upon hearing this. The Iron Lady truly wouldn't miss any opportunity to make Justice Fortress famous.

The entire martial arts world now wants to destroy the corpse of Iron-Blooded Marquis Zhu Wushi. If Justice Fortress can do it, it will undoubtedly elevate its reputation in the martial arts world to a new level.

Shangguan Hongyu raised an eyebrow and said, "Mother, you wouldn't be thinking of letting us..."

"This is extremely dangerous, but with Lang'er here, I believe you can succeed." The Iron Lady smiled brightly.

Having witnessed Bian Lang's martial arts skills firsthand, Shangguan Hongyu felt completely at ease knowing that Bian Lang would accompany her on her adventures.

"Mother, we don't need to..." Shangguan Hongyu only wanted to grow old with Bian Lang and had no interest in leading the Righteous Fortress to dominate the martial arts world.

Bian Lang quickly said, "Auntie, we will certainly not fail in our mission."

Shangguan Hongyu had no choice but to swallow back what she was about to say.

She longed for a simple life of farming and weaving, but she didn't know what Bian Lang's ambitions were.

If Bian Lang wants to dominate the martial arts world, she will definitely give him her full support.

"Alright, alright, the journey is not as pleasant as home. Remember to bring plenty of money." The Iron Lady was in a very good mood.

After leaving the main hall, Shangguan Hongyu looked solemn and remained silent with her head down.

Bian Lang asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"Brother Bian, do you want to dominate the martial arts world?" Shangguan Hongyu asked directly.

If this matter is kept in your heart, it will only become a knot in your heart.

Two people who are in love with each other should be honest with each other and not let things linger overnight.

Bian Lang asked with a smile, "Why would you think that?"

"Otherwise, why would we get involved in this?" Shangguan Hongyu said.

Bian Lang said, "Hongyu, this time you might really upset your aunt."

"Why?" Shangguan Hongyu asked, puzzled.

Bian Lang sighed, "The Emperor wants to preserve Zhu Wushi's body intact, while the Jianghu people want to grind Zhu Wushi to dust. My purpose in going there this time is to snatch Zhu Wushi's body from their hands and send it to the Xishen Pavilion."

Shangguan Hongyu looked completely bewildered.

Bian Lang's words are astonishing.

You should know that by doing this, Bian Lang will offend both the imperial court and the martial arts world.

When the Iron Lady heard the news, it would be a miracle if she wasn't furious.

"Brother Bian, someone like Iron-Blooded Marquis should be ground to dust. Why do you want to send him to the Joyful God Pavilion?" Shangguan Hongyu really couldn't understand.

Bian Lang said, "This is my corpse-transporting mission. If I fail to complete it, it will be very troublesome."

"Okay, I'll go with you." That was all the answer Shangguan Hongyu wanted.

As for who assigned Bian Lang the task of transporting corpses, she wouldn't ask if Bian Lang didn't want to say.

After packing their things, the two immediately left Justice Fortress.

The official date for the funeral of the Iron-Blooded Marquis, as announced by the imperial court, is set for one month from now.

But everyone knows that this date is not accurate.

Given the imperial court's usual practices, they would have quietly disposed of the Iron-Blooded Marquis's body either before or after that date.

People in the martial arts world are not afraid of government soldiers, but the disciples of the Iron-Blooded Marquis are very difficult to deal with.

Although they killed Iron-Blooded Marquis by their joint efforts, he had done them a great favor. It was through their joint petition that Iron-Blooded Marquis was allowed to be buried in the imperial mausoleum, so they would naturally do everything in their power to protect his remains.

The two rode at full speed and arrived at Longquan Town, near Hulong Mountain Villa, in less than ten days.

There is a spring in Longquan Town with clear, sweet water that is said to have beauty-enhancing and longevity-promoting effects.

The spring water was scarce, and all of it was sent to the palace after it was produced.

Several thousand elite soldiers were stationed near Longquan.

But the real Longquan Town is a melting pot of all sorts of people, with all kinds of people gathering there.

Although the day of the Iron-Blooded Marquis's funeral is still far off, a large number of martial arts practitioners have already arrived in Longquan Town.

They searched several inns before finally managing to book two superior rooms.

During the journey, Bian Lang had already told Shangguan Hongyu that his plan was simple: on a dark and windy night, he would break into the Dragon Guard Manor and steal the body of the Iron-Blooded Marquis.

This is the safest approach.

Despite the heavy security at Hulong Manor, it still falls short compared to the imperial mausoleum.

Those who came to the Dragon Guard Manor probably never expected that someone would dare to enter the manor to steal a corpse, so their vigilance was probably not that strong.

Seeing Bian Lang's confident demeanor, Shangguan Hongyu said nothing, thinking to herself that no matter what lay ahead, whether it be a mountain of knives or a sea of ​​fire, she would accompany Bian Lang to brave it.

Having been traveling for many days and exhausted both physically and mentally, Bian Lang decided to rest for two days before attempting to raid the Dragon Guard Manor at night.

It would also be a good opportunity to inquire about the current situation in Longquan Town.

The inn was almost entirely filled with people from the martial arts world.

Some of them came to destroy the remains of the Iron-Blooded Marquis, but the vast majority were just there for the spectacle.

In the martial arts world, the slightest disturbance will attract countless people to flock to it.

While we were eating, people nearby happened to be talking about this.
