"This man looks hard to handle. This is all I can do to help..."

Li Ling stood behind the Unusual Events Bureau personnel, silently watching Zhao Wuyan opposite them and the coffin on his back, his expression rather inscrutable.

The bureau personnel had no idea what he was thinking. Assuming the senior expert intended to test them, they eagerly surrounded Zhao Wuyan. Yet his fearsome reputation left them hesitating, unsure how to begin.

The Attendants hesitated as well, discussing the matter through secret voice transmissions.

"Why has that senior gone silent?"

"A senior expert's actions are unfathomable. His true body might not even be here-this could merely be a projection of a wisp of divine sense. Now that we have the upper hand, it's perfectly normal for him to stop paying attention."

"That makes things difficult. We dare not count on the expert intervening again, but... how should we deal with this man?"

"That senior couldn't possibly be interested in a Corpse-Person in the Qi Refining Realm for no reason. He must have heard the rumors circulating in the martial world and wanted to investigate what the Blood Inkstone Palace is plotting..."

"His reappearance, and his taking the initiative to help us, are thought-provoking in themselves."

"Everyone, stand back." Elder Gong stepped forward and cupped his hands toward their surroundings. "Senior, I do not know whether you are still watching over this place, but please hear me out.

"We intend to capture Zhao Wuyan along with the remnants of the Demonic Path and the people from Inkstone Mountain. If you have no objections, we will proceed.

"The Unusual Events Bureau is deeply grateful for your assistance today. If you are interested in the Ji Earth Grand Tai Sui, we would gladly offer you the interrogation results and the relevant secrets!"
