Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 799 - 144
"To solve the curse power problem here, first you must gain its control, even if only in form."
"Therefore, Jie Shun'an must be dealt with first. He holds a command flag to guide the flow of curse power."
"Additionally, his status here is somewhat special."
"He is quite similar to Yin Meng, both being honored guests of the General on the surface."
"But judging from his interactions with the ancestors of the Old Heavenly Gate's four families, and his free access to the Banquet Hall, with the maids and eunuchs around him turning a blind eye to his actions..."
"I suspect Jie Shun'an holds partial control here."
Li Zhiyuan recalled the Jie Family Corpse-Driving Daoist he saw in Alii's dream. Normally, only the Evils personally suppressed by the Dragon King can find Alii through their causal roots.
Therefore, the young man speculated that the so-called blood kin sacrifice forming a seal was only the first step, above which there should be something like the Life and Death Seal, forcibly binding him with the General.
Since he still retains consciousness, to some extent, this place could also be said to partially bear the Jie name.
As a member of the Jie family, it's not surprising for Jie Shun'an to have partial control.
Li Zhiyuan continued:
"The General, although once powerful, is now weakened; even with Jie Shun'an having some means, it shouldn't be too exaggerated."
"Facing them, we actually have opportunities."
"Most important are those unseeable entities."
"Unless you gouge out your own eyes like Jie Shun'an, we currently have no ability to confront them, and we cannot expose them."
"Brother Binbin, you previously went to lift those unseeable entities, you've mentioned that they are usually placed uniformly in one place, right?"
Tan Wenbin: "Yes, in a relatively well-preserved great hall. When we mixed into the Corpse Recovery Diver team to pick people up, it was always at the gate of that great hall. The Diver team lined up one by one, squatted at the gate, lowered the bar, and they would come out in order from the palace, onto the bar."
"When returning, it's the same, carrying them back to the gate, squatting, lowering the bar, and they would slide back down by themselves, returning into the hall."
Li Zhiyuan switched to a serious tone, starting: "Tan Wenbin."
Tan Wenbin immediately focused: "Present."
Li Zhiyuan: "Xiong Shan."
Xiong Shan hesitated a bit, he was also a team leader, usually giving orders, this was the first time he received task assignments from someone else.
But since getting to know the young man, he exhibited mystery repeatedly, and if it was previously just ability, his analysis of Xiong Shan's Jianghu situation just now truly made him feel like he met a "senior."
Additionally, at this moment, he had no choice, if things here were not resolved well, his whole family would face the repercussions of karma.
Xiong Shan: "Present!"
Li Zhiyuan: "You team up with Tan Wenbin, you are the leader. Your team has two tasks, first, to search for Yin Meng, upon finding her, she automatically joins your team."
"This task is not a priority, as Yin Meng, being the General's honored guest, should not be in life-threatening danger."
"Your team's second task must be completed, which is, in the upcoming time, prevent those unseeable entities from coming out of the hall, to create an environment for our side to resolve Jie Shun'an."
Xiong Shan: "Alright, I understand." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
Li Zhiyuan continued: "Two pieces of advice for you, avoid engaging head-on, adopt maneuvering tactics."
"Xiong Shan, your expertise in the Chenzhou Talisman has excellent disguise capabilities here, make good use of it."
"Also, since it's confirmed that the maids and eunuchs here can be bribed, foster good relationships."
Tan Wenbin immediately looked at Run Sheng: "Run Sheng, give me the incense."
Run Sheng promptly took out two iron boxes from his bag, one containing thin incense, regular chewing stuff for everyday use, the other more exquisite and smaller, holding cigar-like thick incense, limited to a daily quota during travels.
After keeping one thick piece, Run Sheng handed both boxes of incense to Tan Wenbin.
Tan Wenbin weighed them, most of the thin incense had been used, while the thick incense, though sufficiently thick, was not abundant, when bribing, you're embarrassed saying: "Excuse me, Eunuch, would you and this maid please share a stick, together with food?"
Tan Wenbin: "Run Sheng, any more?"
Run Sheng shook his head: "Just these left."
"Alright then."
Tan Wenbin nodded, knowing everyone's climbing bags were large but filled with Corpse Recovery Diver equipment, food, water, and various supplies, leaving limited space for storing personal items.
Run Sheng: "Meng Meng's bag still has a set of thick and thin incense, she brought them fearing I wouldn't have enough."
Li Zhiyuan: "Raise the priority of receiving Meng Meng."
Tan Wenbin chuckled: "Absolutely."
"Everyone else, follow me to find Jie Shun'an." Li Zhiyuan looked again at Tan Wenbin and Xiong Shan, "Remember, until we give the signal of success, do not let a single unseeable entity from the palace out."
Tan Wenbin: "Understood!"
Xiong Shan patted his chest heavily, saying: "Rest assured."
Split action began, the original grass bars were still usable, Xiong Shan made slight repairs, and both sides carried straw men away.
Li Zhiyuan did not know where Jie Shun'an currently was, but it didn't matter, he could first head to the most core region here, where the General's body truly resided.
If Jie Shun'an happened to be there, great; if not, he could also communicate with the Jie family ancestor there.
