The river is so generous in giving, but when you defy its will, the punishment it gives you will be even more terrifying.

Li Zhiyuan continued, "If your withdrawal leads to the disaster ultimately exploding, whose fault do you think it'll be?"

"I... I..."

The scene described by the young man was too terrifying. If that catastrophe were to be blamed on oneself ultimately, it would be beyond terrifying.

Li Zhiyuan slowed his tone and said, "To be on the safe side, wait for this wave to pass, then light the lamp."

After speaking, Li Zhiyuan lowered his head.

According to his usual habit, after saying that, he would look towards the child now, as he knew the child was the soft spot for this couple.

Rationally using all conditions to achieve one's objectives was what he considered perfectly normal.

But this time, he chose not to do so.

Perhaps, because the time away from Alii this time wasn't long enough.

Or maybe, he deliberately intended this detail, so that when he explained this wave of experience to Alii afterward, she would think his condition had improved.

But while Li Zhiyuan didn't look, others would.

Run Sheng and Lin Shuyou immediately turned their gaze to the child.

Tan Wenbin hadn't looked initially, but seeing the other two had, he reluctantly decided to look as well.

There's no choice; everyone feels odd about taking a child to Zou Jiang, understanding they're accumulating merit for the child, but if the merit isn't accumulated and it turns into a subtraction, then the child...

Lihua held the child and cried, but she quickly wiped away her tears and looked firmly, nodding towards her husband.

Xiong Shan looked at Li Zhiyuan and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. I'm also achieving my goal by wanting you to help me desperately. If either of you dies in the subsequent actions, it's quite normal."

Xiong Shan immediately said, "It's okay if we die; we just hope you can help us get the child..."

Li Zhiyuan: "I don't like kids."

Tan Wenbin stood up to ease the situation, saying, "Right, there's no need to die; you two should live well. After all, none of us here are married yet; who's got the time to live with a burden?"

Lihua laughed.

Xiong Shan touched his wife's hair and said, "I have a request."

Tan Wenbin held up three fingers: "Three favors, three favors!"

Xiong Shan showed an embarrassed expression, "No, what I want to say is, if I survive this, I hope to go to Nantong, to the Nantong Corpse Recovery Li family, to present my thanks."

Li Zhiyuan: "Sure."

...

Within the palace of ruins, there's hardly any intact building left.

Jie Shun'an walked among them and arrived at the former main hall.

This was once the center of the underground palace, the place where the General's coffin was entombed.

Now, the palace has completely vanished, leaving only a massive pit.

Inside the pit, there lies a black coffin.

Even within this seemingly ruinous palace, that coffin is extraordinarily ordinary.

Jie Shun'an placed the General's armor beside it and then grabbed the edge of the pit, bent down, and shouted inside:

"Grandfather, I've come to visit you again."

"Squeak..."

The coffin lid slowly moved open, revealing the true scene inside.

Inside the coffin, the corpse is dressed in a clean, new yellow Taoist robe, accompanied by a set of corpse-driving magic artifacts.

Only, the Taoist's face is completely covered by hair.

"Grandfather, open your eyes, look at me..."

The hair on the Taoist's face gradually parted, revealing the General's shriveled monkey-like face.

Here lies the General's body.

Back then, that Jie Family member sacrificed blood kin to create the Life and Death Seal, held by the Dragon King of Qin Family to completely subdue himself.

Since then, he's been the same body and soul with that Jie Family member until now.

Jie Shun'an smiled and said:

"Grandfather, the General has long been tired; you don't have to continue holding on. Letting the General fade away soon is your long-cherished wish.

Besides,

it means you can find liberation sooner, doesn't it?"
