Corpse Recovery Diver

Run Sheng swung the shovel down, shouting as he gathered strength, "Old Transgender, face your death!"

White Crane Child: "Old Transgender!"

Not too far away, on a nearby mountain.

A village elder, holding a cane, stood there, with a group of young and strong villagers behind him.

When the stone coffin was unearthed, he had sensed it.

When the dark cloud appeared, it was almost a clear sign.

It seems, the young man must have made a move.

He had already said he would not participate in the action against the Old Transgender.

But when it actually happened, he couldn't resist getting closer to take a look.

Who wants to live forever in the shadow of the Old Transgender?

In fact, he was the one who most wished for the Old Transgender to be exterminated.

However, although he had come, he hesitated about whether to go down and help.

If he went down to choose sides now, and something went wrong, if the Old Transgender wasn't killed but escaped, then his village would suffer.

If he were alone, it would be one thing, but he dared not gamble with the survival of the entire village.

At this time, his granddaughter Ah Mei, standing next to Wen Xiushan, spoke up: "Grandfather, we must go down and help, to avenge!"

"Ah Mei..."

"Grandfather, the Old Transgender didn't kill us back then, not out of kindness, perhaps just because she couldn't at that time. We've already offended her, how can we place the safety of our village on the mercy of an evil demon?"

Wen Xiushan took deep breaths, struggling internally for the last time.

But soon, Wen Xiushan's sense of struggle disappeared.

Because he saw the Old Transgender suddenly rush towards the young man.

The young man had a sword in his hand, then he broke the sword into two and thrust forward.

The Old Transgender let out a piercing scream, the sound even reached where he stood, startling the birds around him.

Soon after, the Old Transgender collapsed on the ground, and the two other young men who had been able to fight her closely pressed her solidly to the ground.

The Old Transgender was defeated and captured!

Wen Xiushan waved his hand: "Go, children, follow me to slay the Old Transgender!"

In an instant, the young and strong village men roared and ran down the mountain.

Li Zhiyuan heard the commotion and turned his head to look that way.

He didn't think that the villagers coming down now were here to reap the benefits; normal people wouldn't want to touch those unlucky gains.

He quite admired these villagers' courage, even if they hadn't appeared at the start, they at least showed up.

After all, aside from Mr. Wen, the rest were ordinary people.

But the problem was, this was bait, and the woman in front wasn't truly the Old Transgender.

Joining now was indeed unwise.

The majority of people, in fact, have this flaw, making the worst choice amid constant hesitation.

If he couldn't successfully subdue the Old Transgender next, the children in this village would inevitably become her first targets for a blood sacrifice.

Li Zhiyuan urged, "Finish it quickly."

Lin Shuyou drove the trident into the back of the woman's neck, forcing her head to rise.

Run Sheng inserted the Yellow River Shovel into the woman's mouth, prying it open.

Yin Meng, holding a poison pouch, slipped it into her mouth.

The poison pouch slipped into her throat, soon, the woman's body began to swell, until it reached an exaggerated extent...

Li Zhiyuan: "Back off!"

Run Sheng and Lin Shuyou immediately retreated, and the others also sought cover nearby.

Li Zhiyuan didn't retreat; instead, he adjusted the array to narrow the impact range and increased its suppressive effect.

"Boom!"

A blast rang out, flesh and blood splattered, but the corrosive meat chunks didn't spread too far, as they were blocked by an invisible barrier.

Previously, Li Zhiyuan had everyone retreat for safety; if any fragments escaped the array's range and poisoned someone, even with Yin Meng's handling, it'd be quite troublesome.

On the ground, there was a pool of blackness from the explosion, and the remaining flesh chunks began to turn into pus.

Li Zhiyuan, holding an Evil-breaking Talisman, threw it inside, further triggering the dispersion of resentment and toxins, as a final cleanup.

Once everything was settled, the villagers reached the scene.

They truly didn't slack off, especially after seeing the Old Transgender subdued, they rushed even more, fearing they'd miss the final blow.

But unfortunately, Li Zhiyuan didn't give them the satisfaction of participating.

Wen Xiushan, already aged, was panting heavily by the time he arrived, but he still stepped forward and shook Li Zhiyuan's hand: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."

"No need to thank me, it's what I should do."

Wen Xiushan apologized: "I came late."

"Coming is already great."

"Sadly, I couldn't help at all."

"Then how about helping to tidy up the place?"

"Sure, no problem, I'll have them do it right away." Wen Xiushan pointed around and spoke in the village dialect, then pointed to the ground, saying something sternly.

Beside him, Ah Mei explained: "Grandfather instructed everyone not to pocket the gold and silver on the ground; it should all be cleaned up and given to the saviors of the village."

Li Zhiyuan said to Wen Xiushan, "The compensation for those three can come from here; I think it would be quicker that way. Going through official processes would be slow and troublesome."

Wen Xiushan paused at his words and then replied, "That's yours, sir; our village should still prepare a token of gratitude for you."
