Chapter 960: Chapter 614 Ghost Valley

Upon hearing Ghost Hand’s call of ’big brother-in-law,’ the second-generation disciples of the Daoist sect collectively entered a state of fury.

They didn’t care whether Ghost Hand was the Earth Level master who had previously overwhelmed four of them; they all indicated their intent to attack Ghost Hand without any sense of martial morality.

They had come to understand, understand why their master Li Kun had such a big issue with Ghost Hand.

Each of them sneered inwardly, realizing Li Kun merely asking them to beat up Ghost Hand clearly wasn’t enough!

"Daring to scheme against my little junior sister, watch me beat you to death!"

"Let’s do it together, form an array!"

"Knock him down!"

The second-generation disciples were raging, after all, despite being of the same generation, Dumb Girl was decades younger than them and had always been the most pampered one among the second-generation disciples.

Whenever some of the older brothers and sisters made mistakes that angered Li Kun, it was Dumb Girl who often ensured that their punishments were lightened.

So, Dumb Girl was utterly the beloved darling of their sect, how could they allow Ghost Hand with his bad reputation to coax her away? Even the thought was intolerable!

Then, they noticed the blush of obvious embarrassment on the face of Dumb Girl, who was arranging the Silence Talisman at the entrance of the old temple.

Yet there wasn’t the slightest hint of resistance, indicating she didn’t mind the nickname ’big brother-in-law’ at all.

"Damn, this...." The second-generation disciples felt a jolt in their hearts. Their expressions gradually became one of sorrow. (ಥ_ಥ)

It felt as though their prized cabbage had ultimately been ravaged by Ghost Hand, that unworthy pig!

Just as they were about to carry out a righteous beatdown by the bride’s family, Li Kun came out of the room and asked everyone to gather inside to discuss a strategy.

This temporarily saved the oblivious Ghost Hand from disaster.

Inside the room, Li Kun laid out all the information and intelligence he knew, and of course, he also concealed the identity issue of Li Changhe and the other three.

He insisted that the four were disciples of his old friends, invited as reinforcements after he sensed a life-and-death catastrophe approaching.

This made the others quite suspicious.

It couldn’t be helped, Li Kun didn’t want them to know that in another timeline, all of his people had perished at the hands of the Corpse God. It would have been a devastating blow to their morale, and it would have brought about many complications.

For instance, Pan Ke—he was a fourth-generation disciple of the Daoist sect.

For instance, the pond owner—his father and Jiang Shenchui were as close as sworn brothers.

....

"In any case, there’s no problem with those four," Li Kun shifted the discussion away from the four individuals and onto the topic of the Three Corpses God: "The plan we are going to discuss is to eliminate the Three Corpses God within five days in this mountain area."

Wine Immortal, carrying his wine gourd, then asked, "Li, it’s not that I don’t trust you. But I want to know, where does all this information come from? Is it from these four individuals with unclear backgrounds that you have heard this?"

After all, Li Kun stated that the Corpse God had the ability to control the three corpses of outsiders, as well as the power to leverage the Dragon Vein. Both points had yet to be verified.

"Don’t forget, I am still the current Mr. All-known. Naturally, I have secret techniques to obtain intelligence that you cannot perceive," Li Kun didn’t feel like explaining, but instead said calmly, "I know you suspect they are from the Tianyan Association. But as the president of the association, am I really going to harm our own people? Have you forgotten who made you call your disciples back?"

"Amitabha, if it were Li, wanting to harm us, there would be no need for such trouble," Master Kongchan entered the conversation to mediate, "Don’t forget, Li Ba killed the Tianyan Association’s Wu Ma right before our eyes."

Indeed, they were suspicious of the identities of Li Changhe and his three companions, whose strength didn’t yield to the Earth Level Extraordinary, and who possessed various magical skills that were utterly foreign to everyone.

At the same time, one of them was an Extraordinary Soldier whose connection had long been severed.

This made it seem like they possessed the Tianyan Association’s method of stealing extraordinary secret techniques to become multi-rested Extraordinary beings.

However, Li Changhe had indeed killed Tianyan Association’s Wu Ma in front of them, if this was an act of infiltration, the price for such a performance seemed a bit too steep.

This made Sword in Wine suppress his unease, saying, "If they display any improper behavior, I will intervene to suppress them."

"Oh, suit yourself. If you’re possessed by the Three Corpses, I will also step in and knock you down," Qiu Wentian huffed lightly, throwing out a taunt.

Completely indifferent to the fact that this Sword in Wine was actually his own martial uncle.

Because such suspicions were unavoidable.

After everything was over, Li Kun would naturally explain everything clearly.

Otherwise, it would affect the morale of the entire team, potentially leading to even more dangerous changes. Sometimes, a trace of fear in a teammate’s heart could cause a complete collapse, especially when facing an enemy like the Three Corpses God, known for psychological interference. One must pay special attention to the mindset of teammates. This was an experience summed up by players.

Li Kun said, "This is the challenge of our mission, the enemy has the ability to disturb with the Three Corpses. In the process of dealing with him, we will inevitably encounter such issues. Therefore, going forward, each person will be equipped with a Purification Talisman personally drawn by the mute girl."

The mute girl had an extremely high talent for talismans, even stronger than Li Kun’s. She was also the person with the highest attainment in the Talisman Path among Hua Country’s Extraordinary people. It was best for her to draw defensive talismans. She could even cast talismanic protection on people from hundreds of meters away through the air.

"However, even with the mute girl’s Clear Heart Mantra talismans, they will only stabilize your spirit when your Three Corpses are in turmoil. So, the moment a talisman is ignited, you must escape the influence of the Corpse God before it burns out," Li Kun continued, "And the mute girl will be protected by our sect’s disciples in formation, to prevent a sudden attack. Therefore, she will not enter the frontline battle, and you all have no objections, right?"

As Li Kun’s most beloved disciple and only adopted daughter, who received his biased care, naturally, everyone had no objections.

"And now, the Three Corpses God has already been slowed down by your Qimen tactics. Although I don’t know what his next move is, as long as we can eliminate his minions, we can step-by-step force him into a corner," Li Kun continued, "Considering this, you cannot act alone from here on out."

"Are you saying, even we Earth Level Extraordinary people must team up to deal with the Japanese Extraordinary possessed by the Three Corpses?" Jiang Shenchui furrowed his brow, "Isn’t that overkill?"

According to the analysis, the strongest among the Japanese Extraordinary was that elderly man in the kimono. Even if possessed by the Three Corpses, his strength would not change much. And on their side, there were six Earth Level Extraordinary and four others who weren’t inferior to Earth Level.

"Don’t be complacent, it could get you killed," Li Kun said indifferently, "This is the life-and-death crisis I have calculated. Do not show any negligence or restraint. Don’t care about seniority or level. The moment you see an enemy, use the fastest means to kill them thoroughly! I... do not want to kill any one of you. Don’t make it difficult for me..."

....

Elsewhere, inside the convoy.

A body as naked and desiccated as a thousand-year-old poplar attempted to step out of the carriage.

But the Bronze Chains on him burst forth with strength, dragging him back into the bronze coffin.

"Ha..." He wasn’t surprised; he patted his shriveled body and spoke solemnly: "You can’t trap me for long, no one in this dynasty... can match your body... Ghost Valley."
