Measure Heaven River.
Lu Zhou and the others approached the area from outside the ravine and entered the collapsed courtyard.
Two Ding Fanqiu disciples raised their hands and sent out their energies to open the courtyard door.
After that, they all slowly entered.
One of Ding Fangqiu's disciples said, “Teacher, this is the meeting point. They will not dare to be late because you yourself are coming.”
Ding Fanqiu nodded.
The two disciples hurriedly found a chair in the simple and rough house before placing it in the middle of the courtyard.
When Little Yuan'er saw this, he said, "I'll go and find a chair for you too, grandfather."
After Little Yuan'er left, Ding Fangqiu asked indifferently, "Do you know why I didn't give you a hard time?"

"Oh?" Lu Zhou stroked his beard and said nothing.
Ding Fanqiu continued, “If I do, the little girl will definitely hold a grudge against me.”
As expected, Ding Fangqiu craved Little Yuan'er. Lu Zhou knew that something was amiss based on their conversation, but he kept silent.
Upon seeing this, Ding Fangqiu turned around.
The other disciples thought Lu Zhou was shocked and speechless. They shake their heads.
After Little Yuan found the chair, he wiped it clean before putting it behind Lu Zhou.
Shortly after Lu Zhou sat down, footsteps could be heard approaching them from outside. Sounds like there's more than one person.
"They're here."
The door was pushed open as officers and soldiers walked into the courtyard. Officers brought a box in pairs. There are about six boxes in total. There was a strange smell from those boxes. That's a stench.
After putting the boxes on the ground, the leader cupped his hands together and said, “This is our catch today.”.
"Is this all?"
“The palace has ordered that the bodies we have caught from the river not be moved. Our deal will end tomorrow, ” said the leading officer.
"It's too late to end it now." Ding Fanqiu waved his hand.
"How dare you ?!"
"No one is afraid of being done by the Evil Sky Pavilion!"
The three Ding Fangqiu disciples quickly unsheathed their swords and moved past the ranks of the soldiers.
Lu Zhou calmly took a few steps back.
The three Divine Realm court cultivators were like wolves released in a flock of sheep. Their swords glittered in the light as the officers and soldiers fell to the ground one after another. No one is left alive.
After the killing, Ding Fanqiu stood up slowly with his hands on his back. When he saw Lu Zhou's calm expression, he said, “Your courage is amazing, old householder. Looks like I misjudged you.”
Lu Zhou stroked his beard as he looked at the box and the corpse indifferently.
Little Yuan'er asked curiously, "What's in the box?"
“Bone... Human bone..”.
Little Yuan'er took a step back with a look of disdain on her face. He was not afraid of the dead, but this was taken from the bottom of the river and put in a box. It was natural for him to feel disgusted.
Ding Fangqiu walked over to one of the boxes. He waved his hand lightly, using his energy to smash the lid of the box.
Lu Zhou looked into the box. 'These bones look strange. They were a little translucent, like impure glass or white jade with a muddy color.' Immediately after, awareness appeared in his mind. 'Bai's people?' From his memory, he found the source of these bones. It was clear that the villagers from the Dragon Fish Village had been banished to the river. They were the people of Ye Tianxin! 'In that case, why did the palace order people to take out the drowning corpse?'
Ding Fanqiu and the others searched around inside the box and shook their heads. They don't seem to find what they want. Clearly the bones of these Bai people were useless to them.
Lu Zhou asked indifferently, "What are these bones for?"
"Old household, some things are better not known," said one of Ding Fanqiu's students.
Lu Zhou stroked his manic calmly and said, "Even the Evil Sky Pavilion worries about these things?"
“This is how we always do something.”
When Little Yuan'er heard this, he muttered, “I don't know if this is how to do it. I only know it's paralyzed.”
Ding Fanqiu waved his hand and reprimanded the three students, "Enough."
After which, the three disciples no longer dared to quarrel with Little Yuan'er. They were at a loss as to why Ding Fangqiu seemed to side with Little Yuan.
Ding Fanqiu said, “Let go of their paiza 1. ”
"Understood."
When Lu Zhou saw the paizas, Lu Zhou stroked his beard calmly and said, "Should I come along and broaden my horizons?"
"Grandfather, I want to go .." said little Yuan'er excitedly. He's interested in this matter anyway.
It was natural for Lu Zhou to bring Little Yuaner with him. He was more than capable of dealing with Divine Court realm cultivators if the opportunity arose.
Ding Fanqiu looked at Lu Zhou and said, “There are many magic traps near the corpse retrieval place. Aren't you scared?”
This is not their first visit here. They are very familiar with this place.
"There is nothing under the heavens that my grandfather fears" said Little Yuan'er with a wave of his fist.
Ding Fanqiu looked at Little Yuan'er with a satisfied expression. 'This is what I like. No one can blame me if something happens. It's better if something happens.'
They took the paza. After the two male disciples of Ding Fangqiu changed into clothes, they left the collapsed courtyard and walked towards the pier where the corpses were taken from the river.
…
About 15 minutes later.
They saw the pier. Other than the ships that were there to catch the bodies, there were no other commercial ships. Officers and soldiers also patrolled the area.
Ding Fanqiu moved the area very familiarly. He walked quietly along the road.
At the entrance, two guards with spears in hand blocked their path.
“Only authorized personnel.”
The students of Ding Fanqiu made paiza.
“Yang behind..” One of the soldiers started saying.
"Please, make an exception."
Some silver was exchanged, and everything went smoothly.
If they only fished for corpses for a day, the soldiers would not be able to make money in such a manner. However, these people have been doing this for a decade. They themselves were not sure of what they caught from the river, nor did they realize the importance of the task they were doing. Rocks, rotten fish, rotten shrimp, all taken. After repeating the same routine day after day, they become apathetic towards their work.
Little Yuan'er muttered softly, “Why don't we just kill? It's much more complicated.”
The defeated girl Little Yuan'er turned to look at him saying, “There are powerful magic traps around here. Someone control them.”
"Oh," Little Yuan'er replied, "I still don't understand."
They walked at a rapid pace along the way. It is clear that this is not their first visit.
"The warehouse is ahead ..."
They easily avoided the guards. They passed through several buildings before preparing to enter the warehouse.
Ding Fanqiu raised his hand suddenly. His voice was deep and domineering as he said, "Stop." It seems he has found something. He leaned over and observed the trail on the ground. "There's a magic cultivator around."
Lu Zhou saw a line on the ground as well. Indeed, the ground is fresh. Someone set a trap here.
In witchcraft, time, location, and the people involved are important. The spellcaster would summon the power from the external structure to inflict harm or bestow blessings on the target.
Ding Fanqiu turned to look at Lu Zhou and said, "Old household, please take care of yourself." Then, he turned his attention to Little Yuan'er and said, "Little girl, if you are afraid, you can stay closer to me."
Little Yuan'er hugged Lu Zhou's arm and said, "I'm not afraid!"
"Let's go."
They walked around the trap and found themselves looking at the huge warehouse. There was no way the door of the warehouse would stop a group of cultivators from entering.
With a slight movement of the hand, the key was broken.
As soon as the warehouse door opens…
Lu Zhou frowned.
This warehouse is tens of meters long. Rows of boxes neatly arranged in the warehouse. They are also stacked on top of each other. On the other hand, there was a mountain of bones.
