Chapter 181 - 111: Taking Action, Dual Capture_2
Old Huang was about to speak, but he heard a commotion coming from the back of the Funeral Shop. He turned his head and saw a majestic rooster walking confidently from the back courtyard into the front of the shop.
The Yellow Weasel delivering hard-boiled eggs had encountered the Golden Chicken, natural enemies that repel evil spirits. They were old foes, and upon seeing each other, they were instantly at odds, prepared for battle like celestial thunder striking the ground, their animosity palpable.
Old Huang disregarded the need to explain the situation, for the mysterious Golden Chicken had already lunged towards him.

Outside the newly built city gates of Linhe District, Zhao Zhonghe and his nephew, who had been missing for days, finally returned to their territory.
The uncle and nephew had traveled with difficulty and only emerged from the riverbed on the evening of the second day after falling into the water, finally finding signs of human habitation.
If they had taken a ferry, it would have taken no more than an hour or two to return to Linhe District.
However, Zhao Zhonghe always believed that the Water Monkeys and the Celestial Wu Demon Observation Dao were still very much alive.
To proceed by water would be like an old man hanging himself, truly tempting fate.
Thus, the two, suffering from temporary hydrophobia, chose to take a detour, ending up in Shuyang County two hundred miles away, borrowing a crossing bridge to get over the river.
