He could no longer stop this group in front of him and could not control himself either.

Mr. Wang was already standing on the opposite side, and his respectful expression was gone. He began to pressure collectively, like the others, his face turning grim.

"Xiao Binzi, we're useless. In a while, we'll have to stand on the opposite side as well."

"What are you saying, Godfather? You've already been very valiant. Let go, we have our own methods."

"Let go, truly?"

"Let go. Keep a bit of clarity to protect us from being excluded."

Actually, with the great eunuch by our side, we didn't need to pretend with the straw dummies to fit in.

"Alright." The great eunuch sighed in relief and waved his hand.

Tan Wenbin looked at Xiong Shan and said, "It's your turn. The time should be right. Just hold on for a little longer."

Xiong Shan thumped his chest and said, "Don't worry, I can hold on for as long as needed!"

Tan Wenbin shrugged helplessly. He still preferred Yuanzi's precise way of arranging words. With someone like Xiong Shan as his boss, he'd be very uncomfortable.

"No need. My boss likes to act swiftly and decisively. Just hold on a bit longer."

Xiong Shan began to use the Chenzhou Talisman, squatting on the ground with his hands pressed against the earth.

Straw extended from his body again, creating eight straw piles around him. One of the straw piles was woven into two corpse-driving strawmen, who carried the straw bar first into the palace.

Under Xiong Shan's control, they moved as slowly as possible. At the palace steps, the crouching movements were like slow motion.

When the first unviewable being was seated on the straw bar, the two strawmen stood slowly and carried the unviewable being, circling in the spacious yard before the palace door.

Then, a second group of strawmen was woven to receive more people and circle similarly.

Next came the third, fourth groups, and so on...

What Xiong Shan excelled at was the Chenzhou Talisman's excellent camouflage ability here. With the talisman's effect enhanced, these strawmen corpse drivers appeared as "locals" to the locals.

Because these "fake locals" kept appearing, entering, and circling, the real local corpse drivers were left queuing outside.

That was exploiting a loophole, blocking their position.

After the initial eight straw piles turned into "corpse drivers," Xiong Shan summoned eight more.

This time, he was already feeling somewhat strained.

However, Tan Wenbin and Yin Meng beside him began to see Xiong Shan in a different light.

This was controlling eight puppets simultaneously, and he was only somewhat strained.

Recalling earlier when Brother Xiao Yuan compared Lihua to him, Tan Wenbin had to admit, Xiong Shan's team's overall quality and strength surpassed their own team's by a long shot.

However, his own team was more comprehensive. For example, Xiong Shan's team didn't have anyone who could sit at the General's VIP table to sponge a meal, whereas his team did.

But primarily, it's thanks to Brother Xiao Yuan's wisdom.

It's Brother Xiao Yuan's intellect and deeper understanding of Zou Jiang that elevated his team to another level.

At this moment, the unviewable beings suddenly stopped emerging. They began forming seals and chanting.

Wisps of black fog rose from the bottom to converge in the sky, forming a black vortex.

Xiong Shan hesitated for a moment, his face turning dark: "It's over?"

Tan Wenbin sighed in relief and said: "It's done."

Soon, the black vortex began to disassemble, reverting back to strands of black air returning to each unviewable being's body.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

All the straw bars broke, and the strawmen shattered, with all the unviewable beings seated on the bars tumbling to the ground.

After finishing the seal formation, they all returned inside the palace, and everything quieted down again.

Tan Wenbin clapped his hands: "Alright, this is the signal sent by Brother Xiao Yuan."

At this moment, while wiping sweat off his face, Xiong Shan suddenly remarked:

"Your wandering Jianghu seems much easier than ours."

Tan Wenbin gave Xiong Shan a look and said, "The task is only half done, don't start showing off yet."

Xiong Shan's expression froze, not in anger but in shame.

Tan Wenbin himself grew up in even more humble beginnings than commoners, originally not a Xuanmen member, merely a "temporary plaque."

Yet, truly, he frowned upon some of Xiong Shan's behaviors and habits, always probing and exploiting debts, opening his mouth readily.

This is actually unrelated to origin, as life is about continuously breaking one's limitations; once you tire and stop, they become cages trapping you.

This Jiang, you're really not suited to explore.

Tan Wenbin waved his hand: "Let's go, time to regroup."

...

Li Zhiyuan walked up to Jie Shun'an, who sat on the ground, face full of despair:

"Just kill me."

Li Zhiyuan ignored him, already aware that Jie Shun'an wasn't afraid of death.

As the young man walked over, he naturally passed by Jie Shun'an's side.

Reaching the edge of the giant pit, the young man looked at the black coffin below, raised his hand, and pointed.

Still standing on the steps, maintaining its earlier paused posture, the Corpse-Driving Daoist turned and walked slowly toward the young man.

It also passed by Jie Shun'an's side.

Jie Shun'an asked, "How did you do it?"

He mainly relied on the traditional corpse-driving method, using bamboo poles to maneuver corpses.

Even the previous method of self-sacrificing his eyes to force the Corpse-Driving Daoist to initiate an attack independently could only hold for that moment.
