Chapter 276

These Treasure Hoarders arrived at Jueyun Karst only to realize that the General Affairs Office had not lied to them.

The animals and monsters here had all become exceptionally powerful under the nourishment of spiritual energy.

Even a simple wild boar could cost them their lives.

Although there weren't many fierce beasts, there were still some.

For example, right now...

"Heave-ho! One-two Qiqi... two-two Qiqi..."

Under the moonlight, a short figure was bouncing along in the lead.

The small bell in her hand shook from time to time.

Although she seemed to be walking very slowly, in reality, each jump covered dozens of meters.

The talisman stuck to her forehead proved that this little fellow was a little zombie.

In this eerie forest, she appeared even more terrifying.

But the most terrifying thing was the dozen or so things that could barely be called human, jumping behind her.

Some were missing an arm, some were missing a leg.

There was even one whose head was half gone.

These things, which one could tell at a glance were corpses, were actually lined up neatly, jumping along with Qiqi in the lead.

"The dead are on the road, the living should avoid."

"Three souls and seven spirits, return to the spirit and return to the yin."

"Hmm..."

"Everyone follow Qiqi closely, don't fall behind, Qiqi is going to send you home..."

Qiqi turned her head and gave a serious instruction.

This little fellow's delicate and cute face should have made people feel at ease.

But combined with the corpses following behind her, it only made people feel a chill down their spines.

Fortunately, in this wilderness, no one would come over.

Except for a certain professional corpse-finding salesperson and boss.

"When the sun comes out I bask in the sun, when the moon comes out I bask in the moon..."

Shouting her self-created nursery rhyme, Hu Tao was bouncing along toward Jueyun Karst.

She was carrying her family's ancestral Staff of Homa.

Walking in these desolate mountains and wild ridges, Hu Tao didn't feel afraid at all.

She was too familiar with this environment; she had long been used to it.

Today, Hu Tao had seen fierce beasts and knew the powerful effects of fierce beasts.

Plus, with the Shushan Sect here in Jueyun Karst, she was certain that many people would rashly run to Jueyun Karst to explore.

Human greed is always like this.

Always thinking, what if I'm lucky, what if I'm the one who gets lucky.

But no one ever thinks that there is a 9,999 out of 10,000 chance that they will have an accident.

For such people, Hu Tao felt pity, but she wouldn't dissuade them.

Good words cannot persuade a ghost that is destined to die; Hu Tao had understood this principle too deeply after inheriting the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.

Not interfering with other people's destiny is the belief of the current Hall Master of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor.

All she could do was give every unlucky deceased person the decency of a peaceful long sleep.

In Jueyun Karst, it was clear that many unlucky clients had already accumulated.

Hu Tao came here today to tidy things up.

She was highly skilled and bold; even if it was the fierce beast at the late Foundation Establishment stage from today, she could escape even if she couldn't beat it.

Naturally, she was different from the guys who were seeking death.

For those with family members, she would take them back and promote coffins and services; for those without, Hu Tao didn't mind either.

Welcoming and sending off, the principles of yin and yang.

She wasn't a money-grubber.

Those who could afford a grand funeral, she would make money and give them a grand funeral.

For those without relatives or money to pay, Hu Tao could also cremate them and help bury them.

The Wangsheng Funeral Parlor is a serious and decent job; Hu Tao had always thought so.

The Wangsheng Funeral Parlor is related to the principles of yin and yang, related to the way of life and death, and it is the only thing that will not have an inseparable relationship with Mora.

In layman's terms, if they have money, send them off; if they don't have money, send them off too.

If they have money and don't give it, send them off even more!

This is the rule of her, Hu Tao.

It's just that Hu Tao, who was full of thoughts about sending off many clients today, was dumbfounded after arriving at Jueyun Karst.

The traces of battle here were indeed many, and there were also many auras left by corpses.

But...

The only thing was that the corpses were all gone.

Even if they were eaten, there should be some traces left, right?

The traces here were present, but...

These traces were all the trajectories of the corpses moving on their own!

Could it be that they all faked their deaths at once?

Stood up and ran away on their own?

Hu Tao was a bit troubled. She squatted down and looked carefully, only then noticing another set of footsteps on the ground that were different from the deceased.

They looked very small and light, but they couldn't be hidden from her.

"Good, very good!"

Hu Tao was so angry she laughed.

"I didn't expect that in such a small Liyue, there would actually be someone who dares to steal this Hall Master's clients!"

The tip of Hu Tao's Staff of Homa ignited with flames.

"This Hall Master wants to see who dares to steal business from this Hall Master! Don't you know that the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor is the regular leader of Liyue's funeral industry!"

"Running over to collect corpses on your own, did you get permission from the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor!"

"You hateful guy! Even stealing this kind of business! Do you have any humanity!"

"If this Hall Master catches you, I must introduce you to the second-tablet-half-price activity!"

"If this Hall Master finds out you damaged the corpses of the deceased! This Hall Master will do your business too!"

Hu Tao puffed up her cheeks and carried the Staff of Homa toward the direction of the footsteps.

And Qiqi in the distance did not know that the most terrifying person in her memory was coming to settle scores with her.

Although Qiqi was now at the mid-stage of Refining Essence into Qi, plus the life-saving spiritual artifact given by Jiang Yan, even if she faced a top Demon God, it would be the top Demon God who was unlucky.

But what Hu Tao left for Qiqi was a fear engraved in her bones.

Qiqi shook the bell, and the moonlight spilled onto Qiqi, hazy and dim, as if she were covered in a layer of cold gauze.

The corpses following behind her had their auras linked, and the faint yin energy was guided out by Qiqi and merged into her body.

Although this yin energy was weak, it was ultimately tempering Qiqi's physique in coordination with the moonlight.

Qiqi's originally pale and bloodless face was now a bit rosy, which was very cute.

Walking and walking, Qiqi passed by a slightly messy clearing again.

Many trees here had fallen miserably on the ground, either smashed or crushed into wooden boards, and there was even quite a bit of frost hanging on the ground.

It looked like a great battle had taken place here.

Qiqi stared for a moment and said blankly:

"Fierce beasts doing evil... Brother Sect Master said, Shushan disciples must subdue demons and eliminate evil!"

Qiqi raised her head, a trace of azure brilliance lit up in her eyes, and her divine sense spread out, instantly locking onto a place thousands of meters away.

There, it seemed that someone very familiar was trapped in a bitter battle.

"Everyone follow closely, don't get lost!"

Qiqi instructed the corpses with a serious and cute look.

She accelerated and rushed toward the not-so-far distance. ===== CHAPTER 277 =====
