Chapter 1718 - 311:

That means, what other teams get should be the misdeeds of the first, third, and fourth branches.

The misdeeds of the second branch are clear, but the other branches' misdeeds should be a generalized reference, symbolizing a certain original sin of the Zhao family to justify the River Walkers' actions.

With the Heavenly Dao's style of setting questions, it doesn't want to see chaos erupting right at the start; it's best for everyone to "take their positions" first.

In the memory fragments of the Daoist, there is a detailed explanation by Qiu Huaiyu, the team leader, to everyone, which can also be called a reminder.

Qiu Huaiyu said, on the surface, this wave is to kill the Zhao Family Elder, but there are definitely other entanglements behind the scenes, and the Elder is likely just an apparent bait.

This wave might involve a secret deep within the Zhao family, and as a family that once produced a Dragon King, that secret likely points to Zhao Wuyang.

Qiu Huaiyu also said, this time their opponents are the entire Jiujiang Zhao family. Everyone should remain vigilant and not think that successfully assassinating the Elder and escaping alive is the accomplishment; even if accomplished, it's impossible to receive all the merit this wave is supposed to bestow.

Li Zhiyuan once again felt that Qiu Huaiyu is indeed a worthy adversary to reckon with.

She and her team truly have no weak spots.

But this is Zou Jiang.

In Jianghu, one's fate is not their own.

Looking at the ancestral tablets on the offering tables of the Qin and Liu Families, aren't they all blood enemies of each other?

Thinking from another angle, it is precisely because of these high-quality and skilled opponents that this journey isn't dull, and the Dragon King's Position can truly command respect.

Lin Shuyou picked up the ceramic pieces, holding three small figurines as he walked over:

"Brother Xiao Yuan, I found these under the ceramic shards."

Each figurine is only thumb-sized, crafted very delicately, gleaming with porcelain's sheen.

Similar methods, Li Zhiyuan had seen Xu Yijin use in Lijiang, but Qiu Huaiyu is apparently more advanced.

"Keep them, give them to Zhao Yi later."

"Understood."

Tan Wenbin is very busy.

Even though he put a lot of effort into protecting the crime scene, Brother Xiao Yuan's array battle with the opposing leader and subsequently Run Sheng's physical clash with that zombie still caused significant damage to the scene.

Tan Wenbin had to wear gloves to pick up and reposition the scattered evidence and clues, especially the plastic tent, which he had to reassemble.

It's not that he's deliberately leaving achievements for his own father, but since this crime-solving trail is a channel dug by themselves, they must do some basic protection.

Once he was roughly done, Tan Wenbin jumped down from the second floor.

The Daoist's body had completely turned into a puddle of disgusting liquid, and Tan Wenbin touched his kidney area.

During the final mutual killing, he really didn't expect the Daoist to use a stunning skill – the Kidney Supplementing Sword technique.

In this world, there are probably not many men who can refuse this sword.

Unfortunately, this sword can only be used when burning one's essence, and the Daoist could only use it once in his lifetime.

Looking at the humanoid marks left on the ground, Tan Wenbin laughed.

This Daoist Liu Yun is quite interesting.

If they met under different circumstances, maybe they could sit down and have a good chat.

Tan Wenbin took out the talisman paper and pasted it on the remaining marks, blue flames igniting, turning the clothes and final remnants to ash, then gently blowing, dispersing the smoke.

It must be cleaned up well; otherwise, when his own father comes over and finds several corpse remnants, it wouldn't add difficulty to the case solving.

Walking over to Run Sheng, who had already finished dining, sitting there with one hand on his stomach and the other holding a "cigar."

Run Sheng was very full, very satisfied.

He could feel the digesting substances in his stomach, and even the colors flowing through the channels within himself were changing.

Tan Wenbin: "Any impact from the corpse poison?"

Run Sheng shook his head: "Could use more."

Tan Wenbin: "You're quite considerate of him."

When the other side reported himself as an "orphan," Run Sheng also responded as an "orphan."

Run Sheng: "He knew I was going to eat him, so he deliberately softened his body to make it easier for me to consume before he died."

Tan Wenbin nodded: "Indeed, that deserves some respect."

Taking out some talisman paper, he threw it over, watching the crackling blue flames rise in front of him, estimating the remaining corpse energy would burn for a while.

"I've discovered a problem that my name isn't suitable to shout in such serious settings; perhaps when the old lady taught me, 'boat's bow shout' was an informal expression."

"Hmm."

"Run Sheng, what do you think I should change it to?"

"Underling."

"Well, I shouldn't have asked."

After confirming everything was cleaned up, Li Zhiyuan released the array here, allowing this area to reintegrate with the real world.

The isolation effect of the array was just lifted when his cell phone rang.

"Brother Xiao Yuan, it's Three-eyed."

Li Zhiyuan answered the phone.

After exchanging a few words, he hung up.

Walking some distance outside, he came to a convenience store entrance, where an orange cat was lying in the sun.

Run Sheng glanced over, and the orange cat, frightened, clawed at the glass, rolled over, and fell down.

Run Sheng closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and gradually restrained his aura.

With an arm around Lin Shuyou's shoulder, Tan Wenbin went to the counter, picked up the phone, and made a call using a pager.

Soon, the phone rang.

"Ah You, you answer, using your dialect at home."

"Brother Bin, why don't you talk directly with Uncle?"

"It's always good to be somewhat decent."

"Yes, right," Lin Shuyou nodded, agreeing deeply.

Actually, Tan Wenbin only used this as an excuse; mainly, he didn't want to appear too "supernatural" in his father's eyes.
