Bian Lang transmigrated to a Wuxia world, carrying a glass ball that could herd corpses. As long as he successfully herded a corpse, he would receive rewards.
"Successfully herded Luo Mo&...
Having traveled for many years, Shangguan Hongyu was no stranger to such scenes.
She had heard even more offensive and obscene language.
However, hearing these words from the disciples of the Corpse-Transporting Inn truly shocked her.
The disciples of the Corpse-Driving Inn were all dressed in Taoist robes, supposedly people from outside the secular world, but looking at them, they were even worse off than beggars on the street.
"With Bian Lang around, the Corpse-Driving Inn will always be second." Shangguan Hongyu didn't need to say anything harsh. As long as she insisted that the Corpse-Driving Inn was no match for Bian Lang in terms of corpse-driving ability, it would be the greatest humiliation for the disciples of the Corpse-Driving Inn.
Seeing Shangguan Hongyu turn to leave, Daoist Mu Cheng stepped forward and coldly snorted, "Fortress Master Shangguan, you think you can just leave?"
"I know you are indignant, but what I said is the truth." Shangguan Hongyu appeared very polite.
Master Mu Cheng said, "I wonder where this Bian Lang is now. Could you please call him here so we can have a contest and see who is better?"
"That's unnecessary. Back then, when my Righteous Fortress was looking for a corpse driver, several disciples from your sect came, but none of them could raise the corpse. However, Bian Lang easily drove Luo Mo's remains to the Joyful God Pavilion." Shangguan Hongyu brought up the past to show that there was no need for a competition; the difference in skill had already been revealed.
The round-faced Taoist priest sneered, "I'm afraid it was delivered by carriage."
The other Taoist priests all smiled upon hearing this.
"Uncle-Master, the corpses that Justice Fortress was chasing that day were actually corpses within corpses," a young Taoist priest said in a low voice.
The recruitment notice from Justice Fortress was issued hastily, and only a few disciples from the nearby Corpse-Driving Inn went.
"A corpse within a corpse?" Master Mu Cheng frowned slightly.
Looking across the entire Corpse-Driving Inn, only the sect leader can control the corpses within corpses.
Even Master Mu Cheng himself was helpless when faced with a corpse within a corpse.
If that corpse-driver named Bian Lang can truly drive corpses within corpses, then the Corpse-Driven Inn should be more interested in him than oppose him.
"Uncle-Master, don't listen to her nonsense. In this world, there is no one else besides the Sect Leader who can drive corpses within corpses." The young Taoist priest concluded that Shangguan Hongyu fabricated the story of Bian Lang in order to humiliate the Corpse-Driving Inn.
If they take it seriously, they will only be doing Shangguan Hongyu what she wants.
"Even if I'm talking nonsense, some people better stop spouting such grandiose claims of being the best in the world." Shangguan Hongyu couldn't stand these stinky Taoists bragging about being the best in the world, which is why she couldn't help but go in and argue with them.
Actually, she came to find the people at the Corpse Transport Inn mainly to inquire about Bian Lang's whereabouts.
As fellow corpse drivers, perhaps the corpse-driving inn knows something.
Upon arriving here, she found herself arguing with this group of stinky Taoist priests. Shangguan Hongyu was truly ashamed of herself.
She shook her head, then turned to leave.
"Lord Shangguan has slandered my Corpse-Driving Inn so blatantly. He won't be able to leave this courtyard without leaving something behind," said Daoist Mu Cheng, his face grim.
Shangguan Hongyu asked with a smile, "Are you short of money?"
“What we lack is…” The round-faced Taoist priest opened his eyes wide and stared straight at Shangguan Hongyu’s chest, smacking his lips and deliberately making a lot of saliva, which made the other Taoist priests laugh again.
Shangguan Hongyu said, "This is Juxiong Manor. The body of Hero Qiao is barely cold, yet you all seem quite happy."
Master Mu Cheng turned his head and glared at them, and the disciples' expressions instantly changed, no longer daring to laugh.
If their laughter were heard by others, it would indeed cause a huge problem.
"As long as Lord Shangguan sincerely apologizes to us, we can leave safely." Zhengyi Fort is rolling in money, and Daoist Mu Cheng originally wanted to extort some silver, but Shangguan Hongyu's question made him lose face.
Shangguan Hongyu was very stubborn. She glared at him and said, "I didn't say anything wrong, why should I apologize?"
"If Lord Shangguan refuses to apologize, please summon Bian Lang and have him spar with us to clear up the misunderstanding." Daoist Mu Cheng was already trying his best to control his emotions.
If this weren't Juxiong Manor, he would have slapped her long ago, and let Shangguan Hongyu witness the true power of a man.
Shangguan Hongyu came here to find Bian Lang. How can she summon Bian Lang?
Her face flushed slightly. She had said what she needed to say, and now it was time to leave without looking back.
"Lord Shangguan, I've been looking for you everywhere. What are you doing here?" Bian Lang stopped eavesdropping and strode into the courtyard.
Shangguan Hongyu was overjoyed upon hearing the voice. When she turned around and saw Bian Lang, tears welled up in her eyes, and her pitiful appearance was truly endearing.
"It's you?" Master Mu Cheng felt a pang of pain in his heart when he saw Bian Lang.
That night, I was able to escape death from Bian Lang's grasp thanks to the sacrifice of my six disciples.
Bian Lang clasped his hands in greeting and said with a smile, "I am Bian Lang, and I greet Daoist Mu Cheng."
Master Mu Cheng's face darkened. He wondered if Bian Lang had chased him here because he wanted to kill him.
But as Shangguan Hongyu just said, this is Juxiong Manor, and the body of Master Qiao is still warm. It is definitely not a place for revenge or trouble-making.
"Young brother, why are you so vengeful?" Master Mu Cheng was embarrassed to admit that all nine of his disciples had died because of Bian Lang.
If I were to say it out loud, I'd feel too ashamed to even stay at the Corpse Transport Inn.
Bian Lang laughed and said, "I am an old friend of Lord Shangguan. I have come to Xiangyang this time only to help her."
Master Mu Cheng frowned deeply, sensing that something was seriously wrong.
Bian Lang's martial arts skills are unfathomable, and his ability to control corpses is even more remarkable, allowing him to move corpses across planks. His disciples say he can even control corpses within corpses. Perhaps only the sect leader can rival Bian Lang.
The tragic death of Master Qiao has caused widespread grief throughout the martial arts world. Logically, the head of the Corpse-Driving Inn should have come in person, but due to his old injuries, which have recently worsened, he had to stay at the main inn to recuperate.
Master Mu Cheng's strength is beyond doubt.
But now, facing Bian Lang, he felt uncertain and even thought he had no chance of winning.
"Senior, let's talk again tonight." Bian Lang clasped his hands in greeting and urged Shangguan Hongyu to leave quickly.
Master Mu Cheng simply watched without objecting.
"Uncle-Master, are we just going to let that woman go like that?" the round-faced Taoist asked indignantly.
Master Mu Cheng scolded, "Stop thinking about women all day long. Focus your mind and prioritize important matters."
The entire Juxiong Manor was decorated with white silk ribbons and white lanterns.
Even complete strangers will feel sorrow upon seeing these things.
"Brother Bian, you've come about Master Qiao's matter, haven't you?" Shangguan Hongyu broke the silence first.
Bian Lang laughed and said, "Exactly."
When Bian Lang saw Shangguan Hongyu yesterday, he was shocked. It seemed that the Corpse Brother had not sent him to another world, but had instead brought him to this world.
Could it be that Brother Corpse is doing this to bring about a happy marriage between him and Shangguan Hongyu?
"Don't let Mu Cheng's stubbornness and unreasonable nature fool you; he's actually extremely skilled in martial arts and quite adept at corpse-driving. He's a formidable opponent." Although Shangguan Hongyu disliked Mu Cheng's character, she had to acknowledge his strength.
Bian Lang said, "Don't worry, the responsibility of sending Hero Qiao back to the Beggars' Sect will definitely be taken care of by the Righteous Fortress."
Seeing Bian Lang's confident demeanor, Shangguan Hongyu nodded shyly.
