Corpse Recovery Diver

Tan Wenbin's eyes widened, thinking it was Xu Yijin's backup plan, but seeing Brother Xiao Yuan summon it to his hand, he realized he was overreacting.

When manipulating the ceramic dolls underground earlier, Li Zhiyuan had noticed it because there was something inside.

Such a precious keepsake as the broken jade couldn't be left in the room during a fight, but carrying it around was inconvenient. If the corpse energy inside erupted due to the battle, it would pose a great risk to herself.

So, she chose to place it underground first.

Li Zhiyuan tapped twice on the ceramic doll's head, and the doll opened its mouth, revealing the pitch-black broken jade inside.

The interior of the doll had already turned dark, indicating Xu Yijin's suppression of it was nearing its limit, which was also why she was eager to use her team as a shield.

She really didn't have much time left, and this "aristocratic young man" team was right before her eyes.

Perhaps, in Xu Yijin's view, this was the "favor" of the Heavenly Dao towards her.

Li Zhiyuan spoke into the empty field:

"Corpse energy, evil, must be eradicated."

This was considered the final disclaimer.

After saying this, Li Zhiyuan felt a slight mental fatigue.

All these people who would shout about the righteous path were guided by Jiang Shui to this chaotic scene where they could slaughter each other.

Brother Pang Jin would never have guessed that the three groups of guests he brought, in his unawareness, ended up fighting each other until only one group remained.

These two groups of dead people weren't killed by evil.

In this wave, can they be considered to have truly... been destroyed by the righteous path?

"Brother Binbin, take care of it."

"Got it."

Tan Wenbin lifted Xu Yijin's body and placed it into the fifth pit.

The pit was dug very roughly, without a coffin or even a mat, but Tan Wenbin arranged the body neatly.

Perhaps in Tan Wenbin's mind, today's grave digger might become tomorrow's buried.

This kind of thought was just not suitable to voice, because it was inauspicious.

After placing the body, Tan Wenbin poured corrosive toxins over it, quickly dissolving the body until only a human-shaped imprint was left in the pit.

Beside Xu Yijin, there was an additional melted suitcase imprint.

Tan Wenbin was a meticulous person. When carrying companions back to their rooms earlier, he also went to Xu Yijin's room for a cleanup.

"I must say, the Corpse Decomposition Water Meng Meng mixed is really effective."

As Tan Wenbin spoke, he filled the five pits with soil, unable to erect tombstones, only raising them slightly above the surrounding area, serving as the last trace in this world.

After finishing everything, Tan Wenbin felt his body start to weaken severely.

Li Zhiyuan accompanied him back to the guesthouse, casually dismantling the array at the front house.

"Brother Xiao Yuan, fighting by the guesthouse is really great. The losers and winners can both sleep right away."

Tan Wenbin used his last bit of energy on this quip, then went back to his room, lay down, and passed out.

Li Zhiyuan went back to his room and wrote a check-out notification, which included a thank you letter, and placed it on the front house counter.

With the emergency departure of those four people the previous night, another person's sudden check-out seemed quite normal.

Even if Brother Pang Jin had suspicions, he would quash them himself; he had a business to run and couldn't afford to meddle.

Xu Yijin, knowing she was about to die, had shouted "I surrender."

However, at that time, I no longer had the capital to offer her the terms of surrender.

Just like now, all four of my companions were unconscious.

Should I have kept Xu Yijin around and sat face to face with her, staring at each other? 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Because Li Zhiyuan understood arrays so well, he was acutely aware that no prohibition in this world was absolutely safe.

Sitting in the room, Li Zhiyuan took out the ceramic doll and placed it on the table.

In his own way, he added another seal to it.

The young man couldn't help but sigh: "What a mess of underlying sealing logic."

Even if you hadn't thought about successive layers of seals, you shouldn't have made it so crude from the start.

This broken jade, having passed through two groups of people, still had the remnants of the original seal, which couldn't be removed.

Even with his ability, he could only seal it for an additional day, unable to create a sustainable seal like the piece in his own possession.

Everything was handled.

Li Zhiyuan lay on the bed and closed his eyes to sleep.

The next morning, he was awakened by the bright sunlight of Lijiang streaming through the window.

After a shower, Li Zhiyuan changed clothes and, in a healthy, positive manner, opened the door and stepped out of his room.

Running a guesthouse was tiring work, especially a small family-run business like this. Hiring help was a luxury; only with his own family—himself, his spouse, and the elderly at home—could they maintain their livelihood.

Early in the morning, Brother Pang Jin's parents were cleaning, mainly tidying up the room opposite, which belonged to Xu Yijin.

Brother Pang Jin approached with a smile and said, "People sure are in a hurry to check out these days."

Li Zhiyuan: "They probably have something urgent."

Brother Pang Jin nodded: "Yeah, probably."

As he spoke, Brother Pang Jin intended to find Tan Wenbin. He really enjoyed chatting with Tan Wenbin, but this morning, Tan Wenbin didn't come out with the young man.

At check-in, Li Zhiyuan had already told Brother Pang Jin that they didn't require room cleaning, so with windows shut and curtains drawn, the place was quite tranquil.

Li Zhiyuan didn't plan on relocating. Dragging four unconscious adults anywhere would be inconvenient, especially as the second piece of broken jade could break free any moment; not even hiding in remote mountains would keep him safe.
