Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 774 - 138:

In the late Qing Dynasty, celestial disturbances occurred, and the General suppressed in Drinking Horse Pond rose again with heresy. The other three families of Old Heavenly Gate dispatched people to gather here, and once again suppressed the heresy.

However, the records this time were sparse, and the four families were all very secretive about it.

It is only known that this battle was as fierce as the one during the Yuan Dynasty, not inferior at all. Niu Dao Jie was nearly wiped out, falling into obscurity, leaving only a name.

The people sent out by the other three families, very few returned alive, and those who did never mentioned a word thereafter."

Li Zhiyuan sighed: "Alas, the stories of the past, you know them, I know them too; can't you talk about contemporary matters, let's not waste our time."

"Ten years ago, it's said that someone from Niu Dao Jie went astray, was bewitched by the General they suppressed, and became one of his minions."

Li Zhiyuan's expression turned serious, as if saying he finally got to the part he didn't know.

Woman: "And then, that's it."

Li Zhiyuan: "What does 'that's it' mean?"

Woman: "Just as you see it, the person you saw earlier should be a corpse handler who died in that battle here years ago, it's unclear from which of the four families.

They died, yet they 'lived' again.

In the past ten years, similar incidents have occurred many times near Taohua Village.

It's just unexpected that this time it extended so far, not even reaching Meiling Town yet, still quite a distance from Taohua Village, and they are able to move here."

"Corpse handler, people chasing corpses, or corpses chasing people?" Li Zhiyuan pondered before asking, "Is that person from the Jie family using this method to rebuild the family?"

The woman paused slightly, hearing this.

Li Zhiyuan pressed on: "What, has anyone else told you what I just said?"

The woman didn't answer, just lowered her head, gently patting the baby in the swaddle.

Li Zhiyuan: "The child's father, your husband?"

The woman looked up again, showing an angry expression.

Li Zhiyuan: "Seems that's true then, where's your husband?"

Woman: "You're not fit to know his name, nor qualified to meet him."

"Hmm, perhaps."

Li Zhiyuan nodded slightly, although he had just entered the Jianghu not long, he had a high position; there weren't many in Jianghu he wasn't qualified to meet.

Still, it revealed another piece of information: the woman's husband wasn't dead, and she wasn't a widow.

A suspicion subtly rose in Li Zhiyuan's heart.

Woman: "Hey, your turn."

Li Zhiyuan spoke: "She said her two sons followed an Immortal seeking immortality, and once they succeeded, they'd return to bring the old couple to enjoy blessings in Heavenly Palace."

"You're teasing me?"

"I can swear, it's just these things."

"Then what you were talking with that old woman for so long?"

"I had some other chats with her, I asked if her two sons weren't anxious about not getting married yet? She said no hurry, saying mortal women couldn't match her sons, they could marry celestial maidens once they ascend."

"Hehehe..." The woman let out a gnashing laugh, "What exactly are you?"

"Jinling Audit University's expedition team, our team leader's family runs a shady restaurant, has plenty of pocket money, and funded us to explore here upon knowing supernatural incidents occurred."

The woman hugged the child and turned to leave.

Li Zhiyuan stood in the yard, just watching her back disappear into the distance, she still headed towards the direction of Meiling Town.

Tan Wenbin spoke: "Brother Xiao Yuan, what exactly is her identity?"

Li Zhiyuan: "I suspect it's similar to yours."

Tan Wenbin's eyes rolled: "Dragon King devotee?"

"Not necessarily a Dragon King devotee, but probably roaming the Jianghu, just they might not use the term 'roaming Jianghu.'

The term 'roaming Jianghu' is exclusive to the Dragon King family, though the woman's skills are indeed great, her demeanor doesn't quite resemble that of the Dragon King family."

Aunt Liu once also dressed as a rural woman in the Grandmaster's house for disguise, but once in the university, upon wearing a dress, she assumed the image of a university lecturer.

The aura developed by growing up beside the old lady from a young age was impossible to erase, and the old lady was already considered the most low-key of the Dragon King family."

Tan Wenbin: "Is that child her biological child?"

"I looked at the child's face, very clearly mother and child resemblance, and to disguise through breastfeeding, the cost seems too extravagant?"

"Indeed, but carrying a child while roaming Jianghu, does her family's 'Dragon King' approve?"

"The child's father might be that 'Dragon King.'

"Then I really can't understand, it's so dangerous..."

"Carrying a child while roaming Jianghu, the merit falls on the child."

"Oh gosh, my parents' hopes for me to become distinguished were really indulgent compared to theirs."

"She's not from the Wang Family, but she must have been watching the Wang Family. Our arrival led the Wang Family to take action fittingly, and she followed, hitching a ride.

Brother Binbin, do you feel it resembles?"

Tan Wenbin: "Yes, like our previous separate actions."

Run Sheng asked puzzled, "Do they also use the same methods as us?"

In Run Sheng's eyes, Brother Xiao Yuan's mind was the smartest.

If their method was also used by others, wouldn't it mean other families also had someone as smart as Xiao Yuan?

Li Zhiyuan: "Don't be surprised, after soaking in the river for a long time, anyone can get a sense of the waves' temper."

Tan Wenbin: "Brother Xiao Yuan, I think that woman is responsible for watching the Wang Family, as for the Xie Family, Bo Family, they should have people monitoring as well. Her husband, that 'Dragon King'... either watching one of those families or simply heading straight to Taohua Village looking for Niu Dao Jie."

Li Zhiyuan nodded: "Hmm."
