The group that launched the surprise attack on Justice Fortress consisted of twenty experts, whose strength ranged from the Core Formation Realm to the Nascent Soul Realm.
They were either killed or, after being defeated, chose to commit suicide.
Bian Lang could only see twenty corpses; there wasn't a single living person.
"Some of these people are even irreconcilable enemies, yet they have managed to come together and become allies. It seems that the person who recruited them behind the scenes is quite powerful and holds a very high position," Shangguan Hongyu said in a heavy tone after carefully reviewing the investigation conducted by Liu Yi and others.
Liu Yi said, "Looking across the empire, there probably aren't many people who can unite them, are there?"
"It's not many, but there are actually quite a lot. If we were to investigate them one by one, it would take several years to find them all," Shangguan Hongyu said.
Liu Yi then inquired about their trip to the capital, which stemmed from the letter they had received.
As expected, Wei Qingyi denied that he had sent the letter.
“These guys always find a way to kill themselves, and we can’t leave a single one alive,” Sun Wuse said.
Bian Lang laughed and said, "Don't worry, now that this person has made a move, he won't stop. He will definitely have more to do, and he will surface sooner or later."
"Does that mean we should do nothing now?" Sun Wukong asked, bewildered.
Bian Lang said, "Of course we should cultivate diligently and strive to become stronger. Don't forget that our real enemy comes from the heavens."
Set your goals high, and these current troubles will seem insignificant and unimportant.
For example, if an elephant accidentally steps on some ants while walking, the elephant itself will certainly not feel anything.
Under Bianlang's arrangement, the Misty Forest returned to its former tranquility.
Dugu Qiusheng, who successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, is now very proud.
But he didn't know that Liu Yi was already preparing to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
In fact, Liu Yi's strength is already sufficient; she just hasn't prepared herself mentally.
If Dugu Qiusheng knew this, he certainly wouldn't be laughing.
All his efforts were aimed at catching up with Liu Yi, but in the process, he was gradually left behind by Liu Yi, and soon he could no longer even see Liu Yi's figure.
Within three months, transport Qingyun's remains to Peach Blossom Cave.
Bian Lang was somewhat bewildered upon seeing this corpse-transporting mission.
I just got back from Peach Blossom Cave, and I didn't expect to be going there again so soon.
Shangguan Hongyu was also surprised, then laughed and said, "I think it's your corpse brother who probably wants to match you up with Yunrou."
“Brother Corpse must have some ulterior motive for doing this,” Bian Lang sighed.
Shangguan Hongyu's smile grew even brighter as she asked, "Why do you say that?"
“Qingyun is an immortal,” Bian Lang said.
Shangguan Hongyu was also incredulous. She then learned that the Corpse Brother had asked Bian Lang to take the corpse to Peach Blossom Cave, presumably to hand it over to Yun Rou.
Could it be that Yun Rou's purpose in descending to the mortal realm was to visit Qing Yun?
Bian Lang thought the same thing.
In short, once they reach Peach Blossom Cave, they will know the answer.
"You just got back, and you're leaving again?" Liu Yi asked helplessly upon hearing the news.
Bian Lang laughed and said, "It's been a long time since I've driven corpses."
After getting rid of the Nine-Headed Monkey's corpse, Corpse Brother allowed Bian Lang to rest for more than half a year.
If you only have to transport corpses twice a year, then the workload is really small.
Corpse Brothers are rarely so kind-hearted; it's common for them to make Bian Lang complete four or five corpse-driving missions a year.
Liu Yi did not suggest going together, after all, there were probably many eyes watching Justice Fortress from the shadows.
Justice Fortress also needs people.
This time, Shangguan Hongyu didn't plan to go with them; instead, she wanted to stay and protect Justice Fortress.
No one is worried about Bian Lang. Even if Bian Lang encounters a powerful enemy he can't defeat, escaping should be quite easy for him.
In the end, only Bian Lang left the Misty Forest and went directly to the place where the bodies were buried.
The body was buried not in the prison, but near the Shiji Niangniang Temple.
When Bian Lang arrived there, it was just past noon. He felt a little hungry and thought that since it was close to the Shiji Niangniang Temple, he might as well go and take a look.
When they arrived at the Shiji Niangniang Temple, the old man who looked after the temple was cooking. When he heard that Bian Lang hadn't eaten yet, he added two more handfuls of rice.
"It seems like the people here are living quite well these days?" Bian Lang asked with a smile.
The imperial court's past aid has turned the local people into lazybones.
During that farce, the Shiji Niangniang Temple was almost smashed, which angered the spirit of Shiji Niangniang so much that she almost left the place.
Later, the farce gradually subsided, and many people chose to leave, while others died from hunger and illness.
The number of people living in this area is much smaller than before.
Fortunately, those who survived and stayed were very hardworking. With their own hands, they were able to support their families and prevent their loved ones from going hungry or cold.
Everything is moving in a positive direction.
After the meal, Bian Lang helped the old man with a lot of farm work.
At the old man's urging, they stayed for dinner before leaving and going to the place where the body was hidden.
There was a bottomless pit there, so deep that if you threw a stone in, it would take a long time to hear the echo.
Even if you throw the talisman down, it doesn't necessarily mean it will stick perfectly to the corpse.
There was no other way but for Bian Lang to go down himself.
Surprisingly, the bottom of the bottomless pit was very wide, with many branching passages intersecting each other, making its structure extremely complex.
Without the map provided by Brother Corpse, Bian Lang felt he would get lost as soon as he went in.
Following the route planned by the Corpse Brother, Bian Lang quickly found Qingyun's body.
