Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 1127 - 205

The scholar's gaze swept over Xu Zhenrong and Zhen Sha'an, then passed them, looking farther away.

That fellow is still hiding even now.

However, even with the sensory amplification from the scholar's body, Li Zhiyuan still couldn't detect any trace of that person outside.

Outside the tower, the scholar lowered his head; inside the tower, Li Zhiyuan looked at the tiles beneath his feet.

If it's not outside, could it be... inside?

This high tower has twelve levels going up, which is a fixed number, but who knows how many levels are below?

When the scholar opened his eyes, Xu Zhenrong and Zhen Sha'an showed expressions of shock.

Although they were also dead, there is a difference between dead and dead.

They had come here with much effort, not to pursue ascension to immortality, but to sacrifice their small selves for their family's future fortune.

They meticulously stripped themselves away, carefully designing their own deaths, not entering the tower, deliberately putting themselves in a dilemma.

Thus, they became "wandering ghosts" in this secret realm, stripped of the identity of the living but retaining self-awareness to the greatest extent.

And those who entered the tower were not only dead but had given all their sovereignty to the tower, both suppressed by the rules and maintaining them.

It can be said that those who enter the tower no longer possess self-awareness, and even if there are vestiges, they are pathetically few.

The old Taoist before them, in his living days, the three of them would not have been his match, but he is dead after all, and a corpse manipulated rigidly by the tower has considerable limitations.

Power without the guidance of wisdom and experience, no matter how strong, is not so fearsome.

And when the corpse opens its eyes, it signifies the return of pre-death consciousness.

Zhen Sha'an's expression was also very grim. As an Array Master, he naturally didn't lack basic strategic planning, but now he truly felt like the saying "With each yard gained, the devil gains three," with both sides continuously raising the stakes.

He had long suspected that their initial infiltration and steady rise within this rule system might have been overly smooth and taken for granted.

But as the sunk cost continued to grow, and he endured the inhuman torture here day and night, he dared not consider this possibility further.

Even now, although the sense of a manipulative hand becomes almost blatant, he dares not delve deeper.

"Meow!!!"

Breaking the relative calm was Yu Miaomiao.

Although she couldn't figure out why the scholar could appear and open his eyes, she felt it was time to fight back!

Demon energy erupted from Yu Miaomiao's body, and after shedding the pressure, she leaped up swiftly, triggering multiple Array formations above and below. With a "boom," she was slammed to the ground.

Zhen Sha'an: "..."

Yu Cangsheng had always been proud, and he recognized and understood this, as the Yu Family was truly the Dragon King's Court.

But this younger member of Yu Cangsheng's family baffled him.

Even if he had momentarily been distracted, he was an Array Master. With the Array already laid out, she thought she could take advantage of the chaos to attack?

However, Yu Miaomiao's dire situation indeed sounded the aggressive horn for the current scenario.

No matter the past or future, at least now, Yu Miaomiao held someone at bay, making it unreasonable to let her truly be killed, allowing Xu Zhenrong and Zhen Sha'an to coordinate together.

The scholar stepped forward, speaking, "Continue directing."

Zhao Yi flicked his hand, "No worries at all!"

With Li showing such respect, he naturally couldn't fall behind.

Zhao Yi immediately whispered to those around, "Don't slack off, Li needs to conserve his energy to face unseen crises, so we still have to proactively step up now."

This wasn't tacit understanding but an understanding of the situation.

Zhao Yi saw that Li had limitations in controlling this body, otherwise, he wouldn't have initially negotiated in the name of the Heavenly Dao upon emerging.

If he could make a needless negotiation, it wasn't a time limit issue but a usage intensity restriction.

Indeed, it was so.

Although Li Zhiyuan used the Black Book Secret Technique to become the first controller of this body, it was still based on the local rules.

The rules here were constantly collapsing, and half of the threads on the scholar's body had already broken, with each subsequent strong control resulting in further thread breakage.

Good steel must be used on the blade; he wanted to reserve this trump card as much as possible to deal with the subsequent moves of the hidden figure.

The scholar's body surged forward, aiming directly at Xu Zhenrong.

Xu Zhenrong couldn't comprehend this situation but could only react; she couldn't even evade or flee, as she had no way out long ago.

Her hands quickly formed a seal, and sixteen circular marks appeared on the "Fake Run Sheng," immediately opening all energy gates!

A powerful force surged, similar to when Run Sheng himself opened all energy gates.

The scholar's originally straight charging form veered aside, avoiding a direct clash with the "Fake Run Sheng."

Seeing this, Run Sheng glanced back at Zhao Yi, signaling that he too wanted to open all energy gates.

Zhao Yi: "Yin Meng, get on Run Sheng's back, and go hit that imposter!"

Without a word, Yin Meng jumped onto Run Sheng's back, his left hand wrapping around Run Sheng's neck.

Run Sheng clenched the Yellow River Shovel in his right hand, swung his left arm, and began to charge.

However, without all his energy gates open, Run Sheng's momentum was far inferior to that of the "Fake Run Sheng."
