Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 1060 - 190:

Therefore, that night, anyone surrounding the hostel who wasn't carrying a lamp to traverse Jianghu would most likely have to fight again, even if not for other reasons, just to let off steam.

Li Zhiyuan believed Zhao Yi had that ability, and knew that this guy hesitated to gamble a few times, wanting to leverage his own experiences to satisfy his gambling addiction.

But soon, a figure with a tail appeared on the slope at an angle in front, interrupting this process.

The Wood King truly appeared.

However, at this moment, the Wood King seemed somewhat dazed, with a yellow tail swaying rhythmically in the snow.

It was controlled.

Zhao Yi clenched his teeth, realizing there was no chance.

The Yu Family had controlled the Wood King.

Without it, even with an invitation in hand, they couldn't find a place at the banquet.

Of course, Zhao Yi also knew, the one surnamed Li definitely wouldn't bet everything on this moment, because even severely injured, he wouldn't be completely immobilized; this gamble had no gains.

Yu Miaomiao wasn't comfortable either, her original intention was to attend the banquet early, but this Wood King appeared unpredictably, without its appearance, she couldn't control it.

Yet just after it appeared and she controlled it, it was accidentally witnessed by the other party, missing this advantage.

Yu Miaomiao spoke: "Together?"

Li Zhiyuan replied: "Meng Meng, throw her an antidote."

Yin Meng: Antidote?

Zhao Yi caught the hint and immediately shouted: "He's injured, seems like he's poisoned too. Luckily my Brother Xiao Yuan has a team with a skilled physician, adept in pharmacology, who kindly offers good medicine to help you heal!"

Yin Meng understood, took out a freshly prepared poison jar, threw it up, wrapped it with a whip, and lashed it, sending the jar flying quickly.

Meng Meng the physician, sent out her antidote.

A Yuan kicked a stone with his toe, hitting the poison jar, which exploded in mid-air. A cloud of toxic mist descended, not only dissolving blood but also corroding a big patch of stone.

Yu Miaomiao's face turned cold.

Zhao Yi clutched his broken heart:

"How can you be like this? Haven't you heard of fighting poison with poison? Truly ignorant, like a dog biting Lv Dongbin, not recognizing a good heart!"

Before reaching the destination, there was no chance for a fight, but it didn't prevent the sides from responding here, lacking actual effect, but at least they could aggravate each other.

Li Zhiyuan shouted: "Lead the way ahead then, even if going to the banquet, we must uphold a heart of guarding the Righteous Path. We suspect the host's actions violate Heavenly Dao, thus wish to inspect. Hope you're not conspiring to cover for them."

Zhao Yi blinked, surprised that someone with the surname Li was also adept in guarding the Righteous Path.

Yu Miaomiao's chest heaved: "Since inviting three families, let's go together."

She said, turning to continue advancing with A Yuan.

Li Zhiyuan and others followed behind.

As for the Wood King, likely transformed by some mountain spirit, walked ahead leading the way.

While moving forward, the surrounding scenery kept changing, originally what was seen from afar, once you actually set foot here, you realize it has already changed.

Yet Li Zhiyuan didn't detect any array aura here, the Feng Shui layout was also chaotic and muddled.

Hence, this place should belong to the realm of natural wonders, also known as a secret realm.

No one suggested resting, everyone kept moving.

Finally, upon entering the night, they saw the valley mentioned in Brother Pang Jin's story.

Indeed, there were wide steps extending from the front, but Brother Pang Jin must have arrived during the day, thus seeing a fairy-like atmosphere. But now it's night, the stone steps are deep, surroundings dark, with haunting sounds echoing mournfully.

A small temple stood there, incongruously with the surroundings.

This should be a later addition.

A Yuan waved his hand, releasing control over the Wood King, who knelt on the ground, trembling violently, blood constantly oozing from its eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. Turning to look at everyone with deep resentment.

Zhao Yi sighed helplessly: "It's hating us too now."

Li Zhiyuan: "It should have found this treasured land and was cultivating here, truly a disaster without cause."

It could safely escort Brother Pang Jin's nephew away, walking the path of goodness, yet in return, faced the tyranny of the Yu Family.

Zhao Yi and Li Zhiyuan both suspected some incident in the Yu Family, based on this situation, as per the Dragon King family's style, details shouldn't be this rough and overbearing.

A Yuan seemed to glare at the Wood King, who was terrified, instinctively kneeling, begging A Yuan for mercy.

This should be some kind of natural suppression, also why the Yu Family can control monsters.

An animalistic growl escaped A Yuan's throat, the Wood King turned and scurried into its small temple.

Then, Yu Miaomiao glanced back at Li Zhiyuan and the others, stepped onto the steps, A Yuan closely following.

As Li Zhiyuan passed the small temple, he saw the Wood King curled up shivering at the low temple entrance, its human appearance fading, yellow fur emerging on its face, its eyes becoming more and more round.

Its true form, a weasel.

At this moment, its eyes held both fear and resentment.

Li Zhiyuan looked at it, saying: "You are human."

The weasel was startled, then trembled, the fur on its face gradually fading.

Zhao Yi, passing by, also added: "You are human."

The weasel's eyes slowly changed to resemble human eyes.

It lowered itself again, the resentment in its eyes disappearing, leaving only gratitude. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

As everyone ascended the steps, Zhao Yi smilingly said: "Didn't expect you to have such a soft heart."

Li Zhiyuan calmly replied: "It saved Brother Pang Jin and that child, allowing us to know this place, this is a matter of cause and effect."
