Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 1313 - 239_2

The two children floated toward the Taoist priest and the middle-aged man, their mouths murmuring silently as they implanted a spell into their bodies.

This was a delayed spell. If the cursed ones couldn't figure out how to break it in time, their health would deteriorate, and within a month, they would die from a strange disease as their intestines became rotten.

In addition, the two children could sense the location of the people they had cursed.

After placing the curse, the two children floated back to Tan Wenbin's side.

At the same time, Tan Wenbin also released his suppression on the middle-aged man and the Taoist priest.

The middle-aged man looked at Tan Wenbin in terror, his chest heaving violently.

The Taoist priest was also scared, but he instinctively pulled out a small talisman packet folded into a square from his sleeve and threw it at Tan Wenbin.

The two children wanted to intercept it but were stopped by Tan Wenbin's mental directive.

Even though Tan Wenbin did nothing to impede it, in his panic, most of the talisman packets the Taoist priest threw veered off course and scattered elsewhere, with only one striking Tan Wenbin's neck.

Tan Wenbin was already enveloped in ghost energy, so the talisman packets had some effect, and coupled with Tan Wenbin deliberately not suppressing it, he allowed the talisman's effect to be maximized.

"Sizzle..."

A small patch of charred black appeared on his neck.

Tan Wenbin was quite dissatisfied with this minimal damage.

He signaled the two children to continue pushing the wheelchair forward, creating more pressure on the Taoist priest.

"Ah, for the Righteous Path, slay the evil spirits!"

The Taoist priest decided to take a desperate gamble, charging at Tan Wenbin with a Peach Wood Sword in hand.

Tan Wenbin still did nothing to block but silently signaled the children to remember to adjust their position while pushing the wheelchair.

"Pfft..."

The Peach Wood Sword pierced Tan Wenbin's right arm, and the evil-slaying aura on the sword began reacting with the ghost energy in his body.

Soon after, the Peach Wood Sword started turning black.

It was evident that the sword's material and quality were inadequate; not only did it fail to purify the evil, but it also became contaminated by the evil.

This was unacceptable; not even a drop of blood was shed.

Tan Wenbin gestured to the two children to push the wheelchair further forward so the Peach Wood Sword could pierce deeper; finally, it went in, and blood was drawn.

Initially, Tan Wenbin intended to inflict more injuries, but seeing the evil spirit he had stabbed not retreat but instead charge towards him, the Taoist priest, frightened, lost his grip, dropped the Peach Wood Sword to the ground, and turned to flee.

The middle-aged man, seeing the Taoist priest flee, didn't dare linger. He first scrambled to his feet, and after tripping a few steps, he rolled and crawled to catch up with the Taoist priest's retreating figure.

Not only did they leave the two children they had secretly taken behind, but they also abandoned the car parked there.

Tan Wenbin focused his gaze on one of his godsons and said:

"Quickly go to Mr. Li's house and ask Brother Xiao Yuan for help, saying the opponents are highly skilled, and I'm seriously injured, in grave danger."

The godson blinked his ghost eyes, clearly unable to comprehend such nonsensical words.

"Go."

The godson transformed into a silhouette and floated towards Li Sanjiang's house.

Tan Wenbin rescued the two children from Wang Lian's house.

To keep this causal line intact, he had to add to it himself, such as a "revenge line" following his "severe injury."

The Taoist had some skills, but only just, and Tan Wenbin had the capability to kill them both directly.

However, he neither could kill nor capture them, because that might lead to complications; if their Taoist temple came to search for them and demonstrated a sincere attitude, perhaps even making the heroic decision to sacrifice kin for the greater good, what then?

They had to be scared away and sent back; then, tracing this line to Qingcheng Mountain would be straightforward.

Additionally, Tan Wenbin wasn't worried that his "lies" would cause unnecessary concern for Brother Xiao Yuan. Brother Xiao Yuan would know he was fine as soon as he saw the state of the godson who delivered the message.

As Tan Wenbin sat in the wheelchair and shrunk further backward, a figure suddenly shot out from his side, speeding in pursuit of the direction the Taoist priest and middle-aged man fled.

At this speed, it wouldn't take long to catch them.

"Ah You..."

White Crane True Monarch couldn't hear; he was just running.

Tan Wenbin had no choice but to cast a spell on the figure that was about to run out of his spell's range.

Once the spell landed, Lin Shuyou stopped in his tracks, his Shuping eyes flickering as Divine Power flowed through him, quickly suppressing the curse power.

"Brother Bin?"

Lin Shuyou scratched his head in confusion as he walked back.

"I intentionally let them run, don't chase."

"Huh?"

Tan Wenbin moved his fingertips, wholly dispelling the curse power on Ah You, and then looked at the two children next to him with talisman paper stuck on their foreheads, saying:

"Take these two children back to Grandma Wang Lian's house. Tell them you found them kidnapped by two traffickers on the village road and that you saved them.

The traffickers were scared off by you, and the car is still parked here.

Oh, and file a police report while you're at it."

"Okay, Brother Bin."

Lin Shuyou immediately followed the instructions.

Soon, there was a commotion in the village, not only from the frightened cries at Wang Lian's house but also from the nearby neighbors who began notifying other villagers to check on their own children.

These traffickers dared to sneak into the house to steal children in the middle of the night; it was truly terrifying.

The police arrived quickly and took the car away as evidence.

The license plate was from Rong City, "Chuan" character, driven here from there. It's likely the vehicle information was also registered under the middle-aged man's name.
