Chapter 983: Chapter 637: The King Assassinates the Driver

Upon receiving this "good news," Li Changhe’s expression became somewhat stiff.

For those in the original history of the association and others, deducing this outcome was akin to a nightmare of a blow.

The Three Corpses God’s nemesis they had been hoping for turned out to be the yet unborn child of Ghost Hand and the mute woman.

That could only mean that the child would pose a threat to the Three Corpses God only after growing up to a certain point in time.

What kind of despair must they have experienced back then?

No wonder Li Kun, even having guessed this possibility, didn’t bring it up with everyone but instead continued with the beheading plan.

If this news were to spread, it’s likely that the morale of the association would collapse, because what they were hoping for was impossible to come by...

"So how did you... exactly deal with the Three Corpses God at that time?" Li Changhe sighed.

"Who knows... Young friend, are there any Transcendents surnamed Ghost or players like you in your era? You also know about the talents of Ghost Hand and the mute woman; their child is probably not someone to be taken lightly." Li Kun looked at Li Changhe with a complex expression in his eyes, then added with a smile, "That might even be my grandchild. If you do meet them, please take good care of them."

"Sure, but a Transcendent or player surnamed Ghost..." Li Changhe was clueless. He immediately asked Pan Ke in [Friends].

The answer was negative. At least, among the Transcendents recorded by the Extraordinary Association, there were none that fit the bill.

And there were no players with the surname Ghost officially, since Ghost wasn’t among the common surnames, right? It was very likely that the surname had been changed.

"I see... Perhaps it’s not yet time," Li Kun said, not particularly concerned about this matter, but instead continued, "However, this is indeed good news. At least we know that we have defeated him before without using his nemesis."

"It’s naturally best for you to think that way," Li Changhe responded with some surprise, finding Li Kun’s mindset stronger and more resilient than he had imagined. "By the same token, we can still defeat the Three Corpses God now. By the way, does Ghost Hand know that the mute woman is pregnant? He might guess this."

"The mute woman hasn’t told him yet, planning to tell him after this is all over," Li Kun said, sitting in a chair: "He really got lucky, actually managed to run off with my daughter. At this point, I can only pinch my nose and accept it."

"That’s normal, my father-in-law also thought that I had eloped with his precious pearl. He later resigned to his fate," Li Changhe spread his hands.

"Oh? Let’s hear about that." If this scene were seen by the Taoist disciples, they would probably be astonished, as a Transcendent like Li Kun actually enjoyed chatting about family matters.

In the following hours, several attacks were launched by the Taoist Soldiers. Although they were all repelled without success by the efforts of those within the formations and the association, they certainly depleted a lot of the prepared ammunition.

At the same time, night had fallen. It was time for action.

In the room, Jiang Shenchui leaned against the wall with a despondent face. Beside him stood three lifelike human puppets.

The appearance, stature, and clothing of the three puppets closely resembled Li Changhe and two others.

In fact, these were Taoist Soldiers he had just crafted, capable of autonomous movement that could deceive onlookers for a short time.

Of course, due to a lack of materials and core techniques, there was still a significant gap compared to the Three Corpses God’s Taoist Soldiers. They could only mislead, not fight.

Once the plan started, these three puppet Taoist Soldiers were to divert the attention of the Three Corpses God in the old temple. No one knew how long they could keep up the ruse.

Meanwhile, Li Changhe and others had put on several rings. When triggered, the rings could mask their own presence.

Yet they didn’t last long; a single ring could only sustain for ten minutes. They were consumable magical tools, but fortunately, there were enough of them.

So, as the Taoist Soldiers launched another attack...

Ghost Hand took one last look at the mute woman, still in slumber, then grabbed Li Changhe and Qiu Wentian’s arms, saying, "Let’s go."

As soon as he finished speaking, he used a subterranean escape technique and vanished on the spot.

"Who knows if they can succeed," Master Kongchan said, gazing at their original location: "We still have no leads on the nemesis of the Three Corpses God."

"No, his nemesis..." Li Kun spoke softly, "has already arrived."

"Have you calculated something?" Master Kongchan blinked in surprise.

"Far from it... I’ve even predicted my grandchild’s spouse’s name," Li Kun smiled.

"Holy shit, then you’ve already ascended the Heavenly Road, right?" Jiang Shenchui’s eyes widened: "Calculate for me later!"

Li Kun laughed but did not respond; he then watched the horde of Taoist Soldiers storming in from all over the hillsides, and with a single wave of his hand, thick thunder serpents roared out from his palm.

Palm Thunder!

...

Elsewhere, at the foot of the mountain inside a wooded forest, in a bush the rampaging Taoist Soldiers had just passed.

Three dirt-covered figures silently emerged from beneath the ground.

As the girl caught her breath, she whispered softly, "Unseen, unheard."

Her voice was soft but it activated some domain.

It caused a passing Taoist Soldier to completely overlook them.

They navigated beneath the ground using the subterranean technique.

It felt like swimming through mud, quite uncomfortable, and they also had to hold their breath for extended periods.

Li Changhe, manipulating a ring and surveying the surroundings as he caught his breath, said, "I’ve been holding my breath for two minutes now, it seems your subterranean technique didn’t get us very far, huh? We’re just at the foot of the mountain."

Ghost Hand clicked his tongue: "But I was carrying two people. Try swimming with two people and see! If it were just me, I would have dived up to the Three Corpses God and slapped his face already!"
