Tomb raiding: Carrying a coffin during a funeral procession, rewarded with the Dragon Elephant Prajn

Hundreds and thousands of infants born with paralysis grow up in just a short time.

Moreover, the Gu infant, which had grown to over a meter tall, quickly set its sights on Wu Xie and his companions.

Seeing the infants rushing towards her, Sun Xiaomei panicked and quickly raised her homemade pistol, firing wildly.

But she emptied an entire magazine without hitting a single infant.

These infants were incredibly agile, moving with astonishing speed whether in the water or on the shallows.

Just as everyone was about to be surrounded by the Gu infants, gunshots suddenly rang out.

Fierce firepower erupted from behind the group, raining bullets down on the infants.

Wu Xie was taken aback and quickly turned his head to look, only to find that the person who came was actually Ma Liang.

At that moment, Ma Liang was holding a Chicago typewriter and was frantically firing at the group of infants.

In an instant, it managed to suppress the large number of Gu infants.

"Ma Liang! What brings you here?"

Wu Xie was both surprised and delighted, and quickly went to greet him.

Ma Liang took some time to explain.

It turns out that he was ambushed and knocked unconscious by Sun Xiaomei. After waking up, he realized something was wrong and followed the path that Wu Xie and the others had taken. He then discovered the Chicago typewriter in the mountain god temple.

"Old Wu, Professor Sun didn't give you any trouble, did he? I only found out by chance that he's from Zhelong Village..."

As Ma Liang spoke, he also noticed Professor Sun, whose face was half-destroyed and who had gone completely blind, not far away.

He immediately stopped talking and fell silent.

Although I know I should hate Professor Sun and his daughter, seeing their current miserable state makes it impossible for me to feel hatred.

Sun Xiaomei looked ashamed, lowered her head and whispered an apology.

Ma Liang sighed and turned to look at Wu Xie.

"What the hell are these things? We're running low on bullets, let's retreat!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Xie smiled. Instead of being nervous, he patted Ma Liang on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, with my older brother here, you don't need to run."

Wu Xie knew Li Changsheng's strength all too well. He could easily beat up even evil spirits like blood corpses, let alone a group of Gu infants.

Ma Liang didn't understand what Wu Xie meant, but the fact that he dared to chase after them meant that he had already decided to come and save them, and that he had already disregarded his own life.

On the other side, Li Changsheng observed the Gu infant for a while and then shook his head slightly.

The process by which the King of Xian created paralyzed infants was extremely cruel!

When these women were six or seven months pregnant, the insect eggs were injected into their bodies and then sealed alive inside resin.

The parasites inside a woman's eggs can crawl into the uterus and devour the fetus.

During this process, both the woman and the fetus endure endless pain. This pain and resentment, in turn, amplify the malevolent energy of the infant, ultimately creating a monster that only knows how to kill.

It can be said that even the most brutal punishments were not even one ten-thousandth as powerful as the Gu technique used by King Xian. Even the most notorious serial killers of later generations would be shocked and exclaim that King Xian was a monster.

But in any case, these women and children are innocent.

Thinking of this, Li Changsheng shook his head slightly and chose to completely deliver them from suffering!

"Golden light appeared swiftly, covering my body!"

As he recited the Golden Light Mantra, his body instantly burst forth with a powerful golden light.

Meanwhile, the infant, no longer suppressed by the Chicago typewriter, has once again surged onto the shallows.

The one at the very front had already opened its mouthparts, its entire head split into four pieces, ready to bite Li Changsheng.

But at that moment, a golden light suddenly appeared!

The infants illuminated by the golden light turned into ashes and vanished into the world as if spring snow were melting away.

This scene left Ma Liang and Sun Xiaomei speechless, even wondering if they were hallucinating!

Wu Xie, beaming with pride, couldn't help but say smugly, "Old Ma, did you see that? My older brother is a genuine cultivator! He can easily take down a few monsters."

"I'm speechless!"

Ma Liang opened his mouth wide, and it took him a long time to finally utter three words.

But then, he suddenly became excited.

"Old Wu, is Brother still accepting...?"

Before Ma Liang could finish speaking, Wu Xie interrupted him.

"What are you dreaming of? Big Brother doesn't take on apprentices. Even if he were to, I'd be first. It's not your turn."

Upon hearing this, Ma Liang felt a pang of regret.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "That's not necessarily true. Maybe you just don't have the innate talent, while I do and can cultivate immortality... Don't novels say that cultivating immortality requires spiritual roots?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Just as the two were bickering, Li Changsheng activated the Golden Light Mantra within his body and walked around the shallows, physically exorcising all the Gu infants.

All the infants covered by the Golden Light Mantra will turn to ashes in an instant.

This is because infants are half-human, half-ghost, and half-insect, born from resentment, and the Golden Light Mantra is one of the three most authentic Taoist mantras, specifically designed to subdue such evil spirits, making it a perfect match.

Conversely, if you encounter a creature like the Ho's Undying Worm, the effectiveness of the Golden Light Mantra will be greatly reduced.

This is also why Li Changsheng preferred to let the two rice dumplings take action rather than use the Golden Light Spell.

Seeing that all the infants had been exorcised, Li Changsheng removed the Golden Light Mantra and then turned to look at Wu Xie and Ma Liang.

"Let's go, let's get this done quickly, we can still get back to the city tonight."

Upon hearing this, the two quickly followed Li Changsheng.

Upon hearing this, Sun Xiaomei hesitated for a moment.

Although Professor Sun vaguely heard Wu Xie and Ma Liang's conversation, he couldn't hear it clearly or see what was happening.

He quickly asked, "Little sister, what exactly are Wu Xie and Ma Liang talking about? I think I heard something about Taoism, immortals..."

After thinking for a moment, Sun Xiaomei recounted everything that had just happened.

After hearing his daughter's account, Professor Sun was struck dumb.

After a long while, he finally realized what had happened and said with a bitter smile, "I really deserve to be blind; I couldn't see through the true Buddha right in front of me."

At this moment, Professor Sun was filled with regret. If he had been more sincere and hadn't tried to scheme against Wu Xie and Li Changsheng, and had revealed everything about Zhelong Village earlier, this Taoist master might have given him some pointers. Not to mention the secret of the Prince of Xian, he might have even found some clues about that mysterious group of mercenaries from back then.

But now things are really messed up. Not only have they offended this Taoist master, but they're also trying to kidnap him.

Seeing her father's remorseful and self-reproachful expression, Sun Xiaomei felt sorry for him and whispered to comfort him, "Dad, Brother Li probably doesn't care about these things. Otherwise, even if he were the one, he would have already put the things in the black coffin."

Professor Sun nodded slightly upon hearing his daughter's words.

"But Dad, should we still go with them?"

"Follow him. No matter what Master Li wants to do, I will find out the secret of the Prince of Xian. The blood feud at Zhelong Village cannot go unavenged!"

Professor Sun gritted his teeth and resolutely answered.

After Zhelong Village was burned down and all his relatives in the village perished, Professor Sun had already disregarded life and death.
