"Senior Sister Jiang, is this the Luo Nian that Zhang Pengju mentioned?" a handsome young man asked Jiang Yuxuan.
"Luo Nian?" Chen Boteng was startled and began to look Chu Nian up and down. He had heard from his subordinates that Chang Fenglin kept a woman named Luo Nian outside, but he had never seen her in person. Now, hearing that this woman in a red wedding dress was actually Luo Nian, he couldn't help but be surprised.
According to the information he received, Luo Nian was a girl from a small town with little experience in the world and little education. Her temperament, material conditions, and family background were no match for Chen Baiying.
But Chen Baiteng's impression of the woman in red was completely different: this woman not only possessed a far superior aura than his girlfriend, but also exuded a powerful presence. Could it be that the difference in judgment between him and his subordinate in charge of investigating this matter was so vast?
Out of curiosity, Chen Boteng couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Then Jiang Yuxuan said, "Don't look anymore. No matter how beautiful she is, she is still a corpse. She was refined into a powerful poisonous zombie by the disciples of the Witch Corpse Sect, which is why she was able to restore her original appearance and stand here."
"Why does that sound so sour?" Chu Nian thought to herself, amused.
"Poisonous plasma? What does that mean?" Chen Boteng had never been involved in anything related to ghosts and monsters, and he had never heard of the term "poisonous zombie" before, so he was completely confused.
"It's just..." Jiang Yuxuan had just started to speak when Chu Nian couldn't help but interrupt, saying in a serious tone, "Poisonous soy milk is poisonous soy milk, you can't drink it."
"ah?"
"Hahaha……"
The plainclothes Taoist priests surrounding Chu Nian were all taken aback by Chu Nian's explanation, and then they all burst into laughter.
Jiang Yuxuan scolded helplessly, "What are you laughing at?"
The Taoist priests immediately stopped smiling.
Jiang Yuxuan said helplessly, "Mr. Chen is not a member of the Taoist sect and does not know what a poisonous zombie is. There is a source of affection. How could you not know what a poisonous zombie is?"
All the Taoist priests looked ashamed. It seems that their senior sister Jiang Yuxuan still held a high position in their hearts.
Seeing that her reprimand had worked, Jiang Yuxuan stopped arguing with her fellow disciples and turned to Chu Nian, saying, "Luo Nian, we have already heard Zhang Pengju explain the cause and effect."
Although you were killed by Chang Fenglin, as a dead corpse, it's unacceptable for you to harm others; it will affect your future investments. Take my advice and obediently reincarnate. As for Chang Fenglin, I think…” she said, looking at Chen Baiteng, “someone will take care of him for you.”
Chen Boteng glared back at her, and it took him a while to understand what she meant. He asked in surprise, "What do you mean? Luo Nian was... killed by Feng Lin? How was she killed?" Besides, why are you glaring at me? Do you want me to deal with Chang Feng Lin? Chang Feng Lin is still my brother-in-law, no matter what!
Jiang Yuxuan was speechless at Chen Baiteng's unusually slow reaction in this regard, but she patiently said, "According to Zhang Pengju, Luo Nian was strangled to death, and she was filled with resentment when she died."
Chen Baiteng could hardly believe what he was hearing. Chang Fenglin had always acted timid, obedient, and honest in front of him. Although he might make the mistake of being unfaithful like many men, he had actually killed someone? Chen Baiteng really couldn't imagine it.
However, he was not as naive as Chen Baiying. Having been in the business world for many years, he had connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds. He hadn't been wasting his time; he knew very well that many people were two-faced.
He composed himself and stopped dwelling on the matter, then asked, "And who is Zhang Pengju?"
Jiang Yuxuan now had a very good impression of him, so she patiently explained, "There is an evil sect that specializes in refining corpses. They use the corpses they have refined to form combat power. It is called the Corpse Witch Sect. Zhang Pengju is an outstanding disciple of the Corpse Witch Sect in this generation."
Upon hearing her mention the Corpse Witch Sect, Chen Boteng recalled her earlier words, looked at Chu Nian, and asked, "Luo Nian, did you destroy the Corpse Witch Sect that Yu Xuan mentioned?"
Chu Nian answered calmly, "Yes."
Chen Boteng gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, "Well done!"
Jiang Yuxuan scolded, "Chen Boteng!"
Chen Boteng: "Didn't you just say that the Corpse Witch Sect is an evil sect? Wouldn't it be better to destroy it?"
Jiang Yuxuan said helplessly, "That's true, but as a Yin Corpse who killed so many living people, it will be very difficult for Luo Nian to reincarnate. Even if she successfully reincarnates, I'm afraid..." She looked at Chu Nian with a worried expression.
Chu Nian chuckled and said, "Don't worry about it. The underworld won't accept me at all." Reincarnation, huh? What a joke.
She was telling the truth, but the Maoshan disciples felt that she was speaking disrespectfully to the underworld.
The handsome young man said, "Luo Nian, keep being stubborn now, you'll regret it later."
Jiang Yuxuan said, "No matter what, we Maoshan people will not allow a zombie to walk in the human world." As she spoke, she moved her fingertips again, and the blue light she controlled seemed to tighten a little more.
Chu Nian looked at the beams of light with a puzzled expression and asked, "What are these?" She then curiously reached out and touched one of the beams.
Then, something unexpected happened.
The blue rays, originating from the point Chu Nian touched, rapidly dissipated towards Jiang Yuxuan at a visible speed. In an instant, the blue glowing threads wrapped around Chu Nian disappeared.
"It...it's melted?!" the handsome young man exclaimed in shock, his voice trembling.
Jiang Yuxuan looked at her empty hands and couldn't believe it.
Another rugged-looking man exclaimed in surprise, "How is this possible? This is the Dao-Connecting Netherworld."
“Mingying?” Chu Nian pondered, then guessed, “Ming? From the underworld?”
Jiang Yuxuan: "How did you know?" She was gritting her teeth: she had never been so humiliated since her debut.
For these Celestial Masters who deal with ghosts and spirits every day, the Daoist Entanglement was a treasure for protection and exorcising ghosts. How could it have been destroyed with just a light touch from this female corpse?!
Jiang Yuxuan is now feeling the pinch.
Chu Nian suddenly realized why she hadn't felt anything when the silk thread wrapped around her. At the time, she wondered what kind of powerful thing it was. Later, she noticed that Jiang Yuxuan had tightened the blue rope again and again, but she still didn't feel any discomfort, so she reached out and touched it.
All the magic of the underworld had no effect on her. If this Dao-Connecting Netherworld Spirit was from the underworld, it naturally wouldn't work on her either. Moreover, it seemed quite afraid of her now; it melted as soon as she touched it.
Is she the nemesis of the underworld?
She smiled leisurely and said, "Your so-called Netherworld Entanglement is useless. Why don't you take a look at my Phosphorous Fire?" As she spoke, she spread her palms, and a blazing green flame immediately spewed out from her palms, illuminating the area with a ghostly green light, creating an eerie and sinister atmosphere.
The Taoist priests immediately became alert and drew their longswords with a swift motion. These were actually soft swords wrapped around their waists, which, when illuminated by the green flame in Chu Nian's palm, emitted a faint green glow.
