Chapter 161: Female Corpse

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

“The Demons Alliance is going to war with the Wu family tonight?” Li Xianyu was shocked to hear the news from Hu Xinyue.

“Duh. Speed is essential in a war, do you expect us to wait for the Wu family to react before we start fighting?” Hu Xinyue said.

“The Demons Alliance is going to war, and you still have the mind to look into this mess.” Li Xianyu looked at her warily.

Aren’t you a team mate that is a burden? Your teammates are teaming up and you are still battling something else? Don’t be counterattacked by the Wu family, you won’t be able to hold the fort on your own.

“I have obsessive-compulsive disorder. I’m not at ease until I get things straight.” Hu Xinyue said.

The common problem of think-tank characters, was that they needed to predict everything in order to rest assured. Otherwise, they would always worry that there are people who want to harm them.

“Are you telling the truth?” Li Xianyu was slightly suspicious.

Hu Xinyue put her hair behind her ears and gave him a charming eye roll.

“I need to verify it myself.” Li Xianyu took off his gloves and touched Hu Xinyue’s shoulder.

“Ah~” There was a sound that would make people blush in the room, and the woman’s loud screams could be heard in the hallway. But it’s okay. It’s normal to hear such sounds at the hotel.

Hu Xinyue blushed, and turned jelly all over. She laid boneless in Li Xianyu’s arms to maintain her upright posture. Her voice trembled, “Give me a break.”

“It seems that what you are saying is true.” Li Xianyu let go and put back his gloves. He didn’t like such cunning and intelligent witches, even when he had read novels. He just didn’t like such female characters. He always felt frustrated but sorry for the hero, as his IQ was crushed by such females. Sometimes I wonder what to do if I meet such a difficult woman too. Now I am not afraid, my left hand, specializes in restraining all coquettish women.

“Devil!” Hu Xinyue glared at him seductively, her hands on his chest. She pushed him away, took out a clean set of clothes from her backpack and said proudly, “Thank goodness I prepared.”

She sashayed into the bathroom, and a moment later there was a sound of running water.

Great-Grandma rolled on the bed and commented, “The bed here is not as comfortable as the company’s bed.” As an old ancestor, she allowed her great-grandson to indulge and even appreciated his shameless acts. She often said, “Our Li family is lacking a thick-skinned, evil and shameless descendant.”

The previous descendants were so principled that they were easily bound by rules and regulations.

“This woman is fine,” Great-Grandma laid sprawled out in bed and remarked suddenly.

“What do you mean?” Li Xianyu frowned. Great-Grandma actually had a good impression of a demoness? Li Xianyu was slightly surprised.

“She can pretend, smart, and has foresight… That’s all for the time being.” Great-Grandma gave Li Xianyu a side glance and said nonchalantly, “If you really have an interest in her, I have no objection. Your ancestors were downcast all day and were not interested in women. I was annoyed to see them like this.”

Li Xianyu had no doubt that if he dared to nod his head and say yes, Great-Grandma would kick him in the face. That was a trick question. “I’m not interested.” Li Xianyu rejected coldly.

“Oh, what a great-grandson who doesn’t understand amorous feelings.” Great-Grandma turned over and turned her back towards him, the corners of her mouth slightly curved.

Li Xianyu, sitting in Hu Xinyue’s white BMW, came to the site where the body of the woman was dug up. This was a newly developed suburb, to build an apartment or something. The construction team worked 24 hours in shifts, and did not stop working even in the early morning. Huge Xenon lights lit up the messy construction site, and the workers in helmets bowed their heads to work.

Li Xianyu caught a worker and took out a police officer’s ID from his wallet. He said he was a policeman, and asked to see the supervisor here.

The dark-skinned man looked at the ID and wondered, “Why are you a policeman from Shanghai?” He stared suspiciously at the three.

Li Xianyu was a little embarrassed, as he thought to himself that people now were not easy to fool.

As it was a covert operation, without the help of Fengtian Division, he could not get the official police ID of Fengtian himself. Thus, he had to use the one from Shanghai. He had to resort to looking grave and said solemnly, “This is not your concern. Get the supervisor. I heard you dug up the body of a woman a while ago at the construction site.”

The dark-skinned man did not panic at all and nodded. “Yes, but it’s not a female corpse, it’s a zombie.”

“Zombie?”

“Well, the body didn’t rot and doesn’t stink. It’s definitely a zombie.” He seemed interested in talking, as he said, “But I work at night. The body of the woman was dug up during the day. I didn’t see it, and it got sent away.” After he said a few sentences, he ran to find the supervisor. There were temporary dormitories on the construction site, and the construction workers usually slept in the dorms.

Hu Xinyue chuckled. “It doesn’t have to be so troublesome. I can make them obedient by using some small means.”

Why didn’t you say so earlier? Li Xianyu replied nonchalantly, “You are evil, us upright people do not disdain to use such means.”

A few minutes later, a sleepy supervisor trotted over. He was a greasy middle-aged man with a dark-skinned face. However, as there was no need to work, he was rather chubby.

He looked at Li Xianyu’s police officer’s ID and was also suspicious. He probably didn’t understand why a police from Shanghai was involved in Northeast’s cases.

“Such beautiful women being cops?” The supervisor muttered in a certain dialect. Li Xianyu looked handsome and was a university student, so he didn’t look like a typical policeman. Hu Xinyue was a beautiful lady who looked like the lover of a big boss. She was donned in sexy clothes and had exquisite makeup. She was obviously not a good girl. Great-Grandma looked like an 18 year old girl and had a baby face.

“I have come to investigate something. I heard you found the body of a woman in the construction site some time ago, right?” Li Xianyu looked serious and forced himself to play the role of a policeman.

Whether you believe it or not, we believe it ourselves.

The supervisor had obviously listened to what the dark-skinned man had informed him, and he did not panic at all, but complained, “Why are you asking about this again?”

“A lot of people asked?”

“Several times.” The supervisor said, “If you police want to catch the killer, why are you always coming to the construction site? We have nothing to do with it. Do you think we can provide you with clues?”

“Tell me more details about the process.” Li Xianyu ignored his complaints. Although he was confused, the police officer IC was legitimate. Although he didn’t understand why a policeman from Shanghai was interfering with this, he was still a policeman.

The supervisor said, “Half a month ago, I forgot the exact date. When we were excavating the foundation, the excavator dug up a woman’s body wrapped in cloth, and the cloth was painted with strange symbols. The workers were frightened and immediately came to me.”

“I rushed to check and lifted the cloth. The woman was a naked corpse and didn’t have clothes on. She also had strange symbols painted in a mess on her. It’s clear that something’s wrong. Why would an ordinary person die like this?” At this point, the supervisor said with a strange expression, with strange excitement and fear, “And the woman’s belly was bulging, she was pregnant.”

“Pregnant?” Li Xianyu frowned.

“Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. The workers said that the woman and the baby was dead. Thus, she would be extremely vengeful and that she was going to become a zombie, so she was sealed here. They also suggested that I bury her back, or the zombie will come back to life,” the supervisor replied.

…

From the period of the Republic of China, the Wu family was a famous demon descendants family in Northeast China. However, the influence was only in the Three Northeastern Provinces, and the five Immortal families who had not yet formed the Demons Alliance at that time were sworn enemies. The Wu family boasted of being upright and was keen on destroying evil spirits.

Once under the command of the father and son, who were famous in the modern history of Northeast China, the Wu family once wanted to be the official that would support their rise, which proved as absurd as the three illusions of life.

During the fall of the Three Northeastern Provinces, the Wu family moved out of Northeast China because they did not want to join the Japanese. In the process, the family lost more than half of their elites.

It was precisely after such a serious loss that the Wu family and the major families at that time targeted the Li family descendant who always brought his Great-Grandma along with him.

At that time, the whole of China was in despair and were ready to face the destruction of their country. In such a terrible era, only by having a top Gokudo master in their hands, can they ensure that the family’s bloodline will last forever.

The Wu family members lived in the villa area on the outskirts of the mountains, surrounded by lush mountains and rivers, with a good scenery. The highest-located villa on the top of the hill, with the farthest view, was the home of the clan master, Wu Yuanping.

Whether it was foreign species or human demon descendants, any family with good heritage and financial resources did not like to live with ordinary people. The demon descendants had too many secrets and would feel restricted if they live too close to ordinary people.

Those demon descendants who bought high-end villas and apartments were seemingly glamorous, but in fact, were just small scattered practitioners.

The Wu family elders and several young officers gathered together to hold a meeting. Some were furious, and some were smoking silently. The atmosphere was solemn. It was already late at night, and it was clear that they were facing a very thorny problem to gather people in power overnight.

About two hours ago, the Wu family’s industries in the Northeast were smashed and destroyed by unknown forces. Fifty people were killed amongst the Wu family members scattered in the northeast in two hours. It has now been proved to be the work of the Demons Alliance.

When Wu Yuanping first heard of the bad news, he was shocked and enraged, and immediately gave orders to all the family members to gather in the provincial capital first, and then sent experts in his clan to protect them.

Those who have not awakened, or are mediocre, could not enter the core of the family but they were excellent talents who could run the business for the family and obtain benefits.

If a big family wanted to prosper, force and wealth were indispensable.

“Has the Demons Alliance gone mad? How dare they go to war with us, the Wu family?”

“Those animals are lawless.”

“Have you contacted the family masters of the Demons Alliance? What do they want to do?”

The clan elders knocked hard on the table.

“I have contacted the Demons Alliance, but they refused to negotiate.” Wu Yuanping said, “They just said, an eye for an eye for what our Wu family has done.”

“Is it because Hu Zong and Liu Tong were killed recently?” An elder of the family said angrily, “Son of a bitch, what does it have to do with my Wu family?”

“Not really. I heard a Spirit Cultivating Nail had been found on Liu Tong. In addition, the core family seems to have a secret agreement with Hu Zong. Yuanping, you need to give me an explanation of this matter,” another elder said.

It seemed that when it came to taboo, people were silent for a moment. Only then did someone bang hard on the table. “The Spirit Cultivating plan has to do with the development of the Wu family in the next 20 years. It is top secret and highly confidential, how did the Spirit Cultivating Nail get spread outside?”

Wu Yuanshan, one of the head authorities, thought about it and explained, “Hu Zong did reach an agreement with us. The Wu family will help him sit on the throne of the Demons Alliance and he promised to give us interest. This was a steady profit-making business. As for the Spirit Cultivating Nail, we did not spread it. I have checked the experiment subjects, they have not been missing recently.”

“Recently?” An elder of the family was sharp enough to capture the meaning of his words.

“Does everyone remember the woman five years ago?” Wu Yuanshan said, “We did lose an experiment subject. She disappeared five years ago. So far, no one has found her.”

“I thought Zhe Mu said he got rid of her.” An elder frowned.

“Not long ago, a woman was exhumed from a construction site in Fengtian County. When Liu Tong died, I immediately reacted, but I was a step too late when I sent someone to contact him, and the body disappeared. In addition, at the place where the body was exhumed, an array to gather spirits and cultivate an evil spirit was also found.” With that, Wu Yuanshan looked at his cousins Wu Yuanping and Wu Yuanhu.

The elders in the house also looked at the two of them. Wu Yuanping was the clan master of this generation. Wu Yuanhu was his brother, and they were the two most powerful young men in the Wu family.

As one of the key figures in the incident, Wu Zhemu was not only the son of Wu Yuanping, but also the favorite great-grandson of the Wu family’s elderly clan master.

Of the seven major surnames, each had at least one powerful master. The elderly clan master of the Wu family rose up during the War of Resistance against Japan and even fought with the Demonic Priest.

He was ranked ninth on the demon descendants list, and was worthy of being the top in the Three Northeastern Provinces.

The genes of the ancient demons give very little life to the demons descendants. If they had immense talent of practicing qi, it wasn’t difficult to live past an age with three digits.

But ever since the end of the Qing Dynasty, the country had fallen into a century of chaos. This not only affected the people, but also the demon descendants community. It greatly affected the average lifespan of demon descendants. There were not many masters that could live for such a long period, like the elderly family master.

“I will personally ask Zhe Mu about this later. It is important to deal with the Demons Alliance at the moment. The Demons Alliance killed our clan members to provoke us. We shall vote if we should go to war or seek peace.”

Wu Yuanping glanced at all the people present, and behind each elder was a powerful force who formed the Wu family, which is now in its heyday. In the event of major events, the clan master will hold a meeting to listen to the opinions of the elders.

Even if he was the clan master, he has no arbitrary power to decide whether or not to go to war with the Demons Alliance.

With the power of the Wu family, they were not afraid of the Demons Alliance. The voting result was war. The Wu family will teach the Demons Alliance a lesson.

…

In a building of Fengtian.

This was the branch of the Wu family in Fengtian. It is the headquarters of Guangyuan Group, which is engaged in foreign trade business. Chairman Wu Guowei sat anxiously in the top-floor monitoring room. Through display screens, he could clearly see the fierce fighting in the building.

As a demon descendant who was not good at fighting, it can be said to be the limit of life was where he could sit where he was today. There was nothing wrong with this. Not all demon descendants liked to fight and kill. Wu Guowei preferred to make money silently and stay away from disputes between the communities.

The demon descendants community should lead the most leisurely and comfortable life. They were secure, rich, and occasionally able to find a few sexy ladies to go home for the night and live happily.

The Wu family was one of the three major forces in Northeast China. By right, no one would dare to mess with the Wu family. Now, not only were people looking for trouble with the Wu family, but they had also come to the branch.

In the surveillance video, the Wu family’s armed forces were killing members of the Demons Alliance violently. A few hours ago, family members in Fengtian and the counties under their jurisdiction were killed, followed by an emergency email from the clan master, asking the branch to protect the people who had taken refuge.

Then, members from the Demons Alliance charged to the branch office.

The entire branch was stunned. They were just sitting at home and disaster had struck. They couldn’t figure out why the Demons Alliance suddenly launched a massacre as if they had consumed drugs.

At present, all the clan members who were not good at fighting are gathered on the top floor of the building, and the armed forces were fighting against the Demons Alliance in the building. The battle had been going on for an hour, and half of the bottom of the building has been captured.

With the elites of the Liu family and the foreign species attached to the Liu family, the power of the division alone is no match for them at all.

There was no one here in the middle of the night at the central business district, and several nearby buildings were dark. Even the property seemed to have been removed. Only Baoze could do this.

There was no doubt that Baoze knew in advance that the Demons Alliance was going to risk their lives with the Wu family, but did not inform them.

Wu Guowei thought of the useless minister who was also from the Wu family. This guy really had no sentimental of their previous ties.

As he thought and waited for support from the clan, he was incredibly anxious. They could only defend the building for two hours at most. If there was no support, they would be destroyed before dawn and annihilated by Baoze or the Demons Alliance.

Half an hour ago, he had sent an email to the family for help.

Just then, he saw the famous female genius from the Liu family standing in front of a surveillance camera. Her fingers were stained with blood as she smeared it on her lips. Revealing a demonic and chilling smile, she brought someone into the stairs and retreated out of the building.

“Retreated?” Wu Guowei lay exhausted in the office chair, blank and confused.
