Corpse Recovery Diver

Li Zhiyuan sat on the stone bench for a long time.

So long that even Run Sheng, who usually doesn't like to think, couldn't help but bow his head and whisper:

"Xiao Yuan, should we go back?"

It seems there's nothing much to see here, and Alii is waiting above. Most importantly, Run Sheng feels that Xiao Yuan's current state is a bit abnormal.

Dazed and stunned, these things aren't unusual for others, like Ah You who often does this.

But Xiao Yuan has always been clear-headed, always knowing what he is doing and what he needs to do.

Li Zhiyuan slightly came to his senses and nodded.

Run Sheng waited for a while longer.

Seeing Xiao Yuan still sitting on the stone bench, Run Sheng had no choice but to reach out and lift the boy, moving him onto his back.

Walking out from the main position, he looked up; the sands above still continued to flow, and by dawn, the space beneath might be completely filled.

Run Sheng had one hand holding Xiao Yuan on his back and the other grabbing the wall, feet suspended, grabbing, sending, stopping, like jumping - he quickly reached the upper side.

After placing the boy back on the tricycle, Alii looked at him carefully.

Li Zhiyuan's gaze first fell on Alii's face, then quickly dispersed.

Run Sheng got on the tricycle.

The night sky remained splendid tonight, but the two behind the tricycle didn't play chess like they did on the way here.

Li Zhiyuan's gaze was upward, yet no reflected stars could be seen in his eyes.

Alii's hand gently kneaded the boy's head continuously, not hoping to quickly pull him out of this state in such a manner; she only wished to make him feel somewhat better.

The boy found Wei Zhengdao's once-and-for-all way to subdue Evil.

A very simple method,

to eat the Evil.

This is different from Run Sheng's fondness for eating dirty things.

Due to Run Sheng's own special nature, he can absorb negative attributes like resentment, corpse energy, and evil qi, which is essentially no different than ordinary people needing to take in various nutrients from meals.

Run Sheng grabbing a zombie leg to gnaw on is no different for a regular person gnawing a roast lamb leg.

But Wei Zhengdao's eating is another concept.

Even if Li Zhiyuan read many books, his experience walking Jianghu makes him knowledgeable, yet this concept is a first encounter.

Before that, the boy hadn't even imagined there could be such a solution.

Those Evils and opponents he killed often exclaiming in disbelief before dying:

"Impossible!" "Why!" "How!"

Because the traits the boy showed exceeded their previous scope of understanding.

Now, when Li Zhiyuan sees Wei Zhengdao, he has a similar feeling, even... indescribably more intense.

The array's main position is so clean.

Cleanliness is the most terrifying.

Beneath the Peach Forest, Qing'an suffered backlash from the secret technique, gradually losing himself; he chose self-sealing, essentially preventing himself from becoming a catastrophic being that poisons lives after losing his way.

Emperor Fengdu opened the underworld, established the Underworld, captured endless ghosts, and even regarded himself as the most horrifying ghost in hell, suppressed altogether.

Exchanging this for merit from the Heavenly Dao.

Qing'an is spontaneous; he is like a Jianghu Wanderer with a conscience, locking himself.

Thus, the Heavenly Dao often turns a blind eye.

The Great Emperor raises bandits for power; he himself is the strongest bandit, akin to a vassal town bowing nominally.

And Wei Zhengdao's eating—a form of accommodation.

Unrelated to self-sacrifice and dedication, unrelated to raising bandits for power… the deadliest is, even unrelated to the Heavenly Dao.

This is a terrifying method, exceeding logic, insanely crazy.

If you keep eating, how big will your stomach grow?

How large will your appetite expand?

This is no longer about how bloated your eating ability becomes, but if you keep consuming upwards, eventually you'll extend your chopsticks to,

whom?

Arrived at Shinan Town, the sparkle in the boy's eyes finally recovered somewhat.

Alii's massage was still ongoing.

Li Zhiyuan: "I made you worry."

Alii mimicked Li Zhiyuan's previous actions, bowing her head, pressing her forehead against the boy's, both sensing each other's warmth.

For a long time, as the tricycle drove from the highway into the village road of Si Yuan Village, the boy sat up.

"Brother Runsheng, head to Big Beard's house."

"Okay."

The tricycle moved to Big Beard's house.

Li Zhiyuan signaled Alii to remain in the car, he got off alone and walked into the Peach Forest again.

Earlier, when communicating with Qing'an in the Peach Forest, Li Zhiyuan had a strange feeling that Qing'an was not very active in this matter, but he could clearly benefit from the results.

Hence, Qing'an must have long known the truth.

Wei Zhengdao could teach Qing'an the "Black Book Secret Technique," but he indeed couldn't teach him the "Sealing Kill Method," unless Wei Zhengdao was willing to eat Qing'an.

This time, deep in the Peach Forest, unusually lacked the scent of wine.

Qing'an sat in front of a small tea table, which was adorned with peach blossom tea, a plate of boiled peanuts, and a plate of tea fruits.

Besides tea, peanuts and tea fruits should be offerings Xiao Yingying presented to Qing'an today.

Su Luo was sitting by the side, grinding ink.

The position across Qing'an was left empty, placed with a meditation cushion below.

Li Zhiyuan knew, this was intentionally reserved for him.

Qing'an was aware that after going to Wolf Mountain, he would come to visit him again.

Li Zhiyuan didn't hold back, directly sitting on the meditation cushion.

On the tea table in front, a cup of tea was placed.
