Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 1306 - 237: Return to the Ancestral Sect and Acknowledge a Master (Part 3)

Run Sheng's eyes opened, filled entirely with white, not a hint of black visible.

Instinctively, he opened his mouth, exerting force from his waist, wanting to bite the boy like a beast.

But before his body could leave the water, Li Zhiyuan activated the array, forcing Run Sheng to lie back down, only able to struggle slightly in the water.

Li Zhiyuan said to Lin Shuyou and Yin Meng, "You two arrange shifts, every six hours someone must come here to check and replace the damaged array materials."

Yin Meng: "Brother Xiao Yuan, Run Sheng he..."

Li Zhiyuan: "Actually, I can start helping awaken his consciousness now, but currently his wildness is just emerging. To allow him to better face and suppress this wildness in the future, we must wait until his wildness is fully stimulated before proceeding with the next treatment."

Tan Wenbin: "Only this way will it be less likely to lose control in the future, and Run Sheng will be able to better master this power."

Li Zhiyuan: "Looks like you've been reading quite a bit lately."

Tan Wenbin: "There's not much else to do, just reading. It's a pity that during high school I didn't land in this state; otherwise, I might have done better in the college entrance exam."

Li Zhiyuan asked Yin Meng, "Is the temporary array set up in the yard?"

Yin Meng: "Not yet, I'm going now."

Soon, a one-time array was set up in the yard.

To this end, Xiao Yingying specially put away the paper effigies originally placed there, then took Beng Beng to Li Sanjiang's house.

Yin Meng stood within the array, the corpse of the mad dog placed before her.

Lin Shuyou stood nearby, looking expectant, curious about the secret technique that Brother Xiao Yuan customized for Meng Meng and the Gu Worm.

Li Zhiyuan: "Ah You."

"Here, Brother Xiao Yuan."

"Don't just watch, be ready to support at any time."

"Understood."

Lin Shuyou straightened his back, standing at the edge of the array.

Li Zhiyuan: "Meng Meng, you can begin."

Yin Meng nodded, stepping out, her hands waving to form seals.

Due to the lack of enough practice and failure to deeply understand the true meaning of the secret technique, the preliminary act was somewhat complex, and Yin Meng didn't dare to omit any process.

Lin Shuyou thought Yin Meng's steps were somewhat familiar, but Brother Xiao Yuan was right there, and the child dared not openly communicate with him.

Tan Wenbin, sitting in the wheelchair, spoke: "Sacrificial dance?"

Li Zhiyuan: "Starry Yin Yang Step, a kind of Nuo drama, a branch of sorcery used to communicate with spirits and often used to worship ancestors."

Steps completed, seals created, Yin Meng let out a low shout, holding incense in her left hand, talisman in her right, swung thrice, igniting the incense talisman, raising her arms high, performing the ritual bow.

In the next moment, the Gu Worm flew out from Yin Meng, directly into the mad dog's corpse.

Soon, the mad dog's corpse began to balloon like a gas-filled balloon, as if about to explode; dense holes appeared, the corpse quickly shriveled, the skin began to decay, then started boiling like boiling water.

Tan Wenbin: "Sacrifice... Who is this sacrificed to?"

Li Zhiyuan: "Who else could it be?"

Tan Wenbin: "Emperor Fengdu?"

Li Zhiyuan: "Yes."

Why was Yin Meng's cooking toxic, ordinary people unable to enjoy? Because what she made was offerings.

Li Zhiyuan used this characteristic of Yin Meng, directing her to sacrifice the mad dog's corpse to Emperor Fengdu, thereby receiving feedback from the emperor.

Ordinary people dare not do this; after all, who dares to offer a dead dog to the emperor?

Li Zhiyuan was unbothered by such concerns, because if he were apprehended and returned to Fengdu, when the emperor read out his charges, this... wouldn't even be listed. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Suddenly, black bugs crawled out from the decaying flesh, one being the Gu Worm's body, glowing golden.

Yin Meng was striving to control these newly born bugs through her Gu Worm.

The swarm began arranging on the ground, everything seemed orderly.

But as Yin Meng attempted to control them to fly, pairs of beetle wings unfolded and fluttered, the bugs collectively took off.

Immediately, the previously neat lines began becoming chaotic, continuously colliding and falling, one collision leading to another, the whole scene a chaotic mess.

Soon, whether airborne or grounded, all bugs fell into violent unrest, eventually collectively pouncing at Yin Meng, intent on a backlash!

Li Zhiyuan: "Ah You!"

Lin Shuyou appeared behind Yin Meng, pulling her out of the array, the Gu Worm swiftly darted out, returning to Yin Meng's sleeve.

Li Zhiyuan grasped his palm, opening the array, instantly crushing all bugs inside.

Yin Meng: "Brother Xiao Yuan, I was too stupid, failed..."

Li Zhiyuan: "The mad dog's corpse was a bit too challenging; first practice with the simplest. Have Aunt Liu bring more variety and fresh meat when she shops daily."

Yin Meng: "Okay, I understand."

Yin Meng entered the house, retrieving an offering table, re-solemnizing the ritual.

This was taught by Brother Xiao Yuan, each practice of this secret skill, whether successful or not, offering once formally to the emperor, even if just an apology.

On the offering table, candle flames flickered, Yin Meng burned yellow paper in the fire bowl.

Suddenly, though there was no wind, the burning yellow paper spun out by itself, eventually landing in the offering table's wine bowl, turning into ashes.

Yin Meng: "Brother Xiao Yuan, there's writing..."

"Calling you to return home for ancestral worship again?"

"No…"

Li Zhiyuan walked over, bowed his head to look.

In the bowl appeared four extremely distorted characters—[Return to Sect, Acknowledge Master]
