Upon hearing Cheng Xiaofan's words, the surrounding cultivators finally recalled the origins of the "Living Dead Five Alliance."
They were originally living people, but because the five individuals practiced evil arts and committed too many wicked deeds, they were hunted down by experts from the Jianghu Affairs Bureau.
Who would have thought that the arts these five cultivated could allow them to resurrect themselves by borrowing animal souls, change their appearances, enter funeral parlors to absorb yin energy, and nourish their souls.
However, they were resurrected by borrowing animal souls, and their souls were unstable. Their only solution was to borrow fresh blood from living bodies to cultivate new souls for themselves and continue practicing their evil arts.
Years passed, and countless people died at their hands.
Their evil arts became increasingly refined, thus making the "Living Dead Five Alliance," led by Mister Mo, the most terrifying legend in the Jianghu.
Later, the Jianghu Affairs Bureau finally discovered that the "Living Dead Five Alliance" were the same five individuals who had been executed previously for practicing evil arts.
The Jianghu Affairs Bureau had no choice but to post on the Jianghu forum, calling upon ancient martial cultivators in the Jianghu to join forces with a heart of eradicating evil and punishing wickedness to encircle and suppress the "Living Dead Five Alliance."
However, these individuals were skilled in disguise, elusive, without a fixed abode, and possessed peculiar martial arts. For years, no one had been able to track their movements.
It was entirely unexpected that they would appear in the area of Nanshan Lake in Zhuxi Village today.
It seemed they were also eager to obtain Dragon Qi for a further breakthrough in their evil arts, aiming to roam the world unopposed.
Unexpectedly, the moment they appeared, their identities were recognized by Cheng Xiaofan.
"Kid, since you've seen through our identities, you must die today!" the two people who resembled black iron towers roared in unison.
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "Your skills as a group of five are nothing special. Even your Mister Mo couldn't withstand a single move from me. On what basis do you two dare to say you'll kill me?"
"Long Xingyun, Jiang Xueyan, step forward!"
"Master, your disciple is here!"
As soon as the words fell, Long Xingyun and Jiang Xueyan arrived by his side.
Cheng Xiaofan pointed at the two individuals and said to them, "I'll leave these two to you. If you can't defeat them, go find a piece of tofu and kill yourselves, don't show yourselves to me again!"
"Yes!"
Long Xingyun and Jiang Xueyan understood. They had broken through twice that afternoon, and their Master intended to test their strength.
The strength of these two was clearly superior to the previous three.
But only by a small margin.
Honestly, if they couldn't defeat them this time, even Long Xingyun and Jiang Xueyan felt they would have no face to see Cheng Xiaofan again.
"Xueyan, let's go!"
Long Xingyun shouted, and the two immediately charged forward.
While these two were engaged with the opponents, Cheng Xiaofan casually returned to the duty room, took out his phone, and began dialing Dao Dahai.
As soon as the call connected, Dao Dahai's voice came from the other end of the line: "Ah, it's Xiaofan. Is there anything? Please advise!"
"Director Dao, you should know about the 'Living Dead Five Alliance,' right?" Cheng Xiaofan asked casually.
Dao Dahai quickly replied, "I know, I know. I saw the wanted notice issued by the Jianghu Affairs Bureau on the Jianghu forum!"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, "Bring your team to the island in the middle of Nanshan Lake. There are five corpses of the 'Living Dead Five Alliance' here. Come and handle them!"
Although there were still two lively individuals outside fighting with Long Xingyun and Jiang Xueyan, Cheng Xiaofan knew in his heart that it wouldn't take long for those two to be killed by Long Xingyun and Jiang Xueyan.
From the aura that emanated from Long Xingyun and Jiang Xueyan after their two breakthroughs, Cheng Xiaofan had a clear understanding of their skills.
If he didn't have absolute confidence in these two, he wouldn't have easily sent them out.
Before Dao Dahai and his team arrived, Long Xingyun and Jiang Xueyan should have already eliminated those two.
"Haha, Xiaofan, I didn't expect the 'Living Dead Five Alliance' to come to your place to die. That's great! These scourges have finally been eliminated!" Dao Dahai said as if he had been injected with adrenaline.
The reason for his excitement was simple!
The Jianghu Affairs Bureau's wanted notice stated that if the local police station cooperated with the elimination of the "Living Dead Five Alliance" at the location specified, they would receive a reward of ten million.
Ten million!
In Cheng Xiaofan's eyes, this figure was insignificant, not even worth an earthworm.
However, for their police station, it was an astronomical figure hanging from the ceiling, making life significantly easier for everyone there.
Cheng Xiaofan's call this time was clearly also delivering a bonus to the local police station.
To put it simply, following Cheng Xiaofan meant getting a piece of the pie.
Of course, from Dao Dahai's trembling voice, Cheng Xiaofan understood why he was so excited. He said, "Director Dao, I know that local police stations often face financial constraints. How about this: according to the wanted notice issued by the Jianghu Affairs Bureau, the thirty million reward that should belong to me, I will donate to the police station."
"Thank you, Xiaofan, thank you!" In truth, Dao Dahai knew that thirty million was just pocket change to Cheng Xiaofan.
When he sold a bottle of his "Happy Wine," it was worth a hundred billion.
But the key was that he was willing to donate this thirty million to the police station!
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Let's skip the pleasantries. Bring your people over immediately. They were originally living dead. I'm afraid the corpses will rot into a pile of bones overnight. It will be difficult for you to even collect evidence then!"
"Ah, is it that bizarre? I'll bring my men over right away!" Director Dao exclaimed in surprise and said urgently.
Boom!
Boom!
As soon as he hung up the phone, two loud bangs were heard from outside the door.
When Cheng Xiaofan appeared outside the door, Long Xingyun and Jiang Xueyan hurried to meet him, knelt before him, and said in unison, "We have not disgraced our Master's command. The two villains have been executed by us!"
Cheng Xiaofan walked more than ten meters forward with his hands behind his back. He saw the two burly men who resembled black iron towers lying on the ground, their clothes tattered, their vitality completely gone.
Their complexions, however, had completely changed.
"Ah, how strange! Why have the appearances of all five of them changed?"
"It's said they are skilled in disguise. Is this their true appearance?"
"I seem to have heard someone say that once they revert to their original appearance, it becomes impossible for them to resurrect through evil arts again."
"I can't believe Cheng Xiaofan's disciples eliminated two opponents one-on-one!"
"I'm so unlucky, my arm is ruined!" One of the middle-aged cultivators, holding his right arm, grunted in pain.
Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan looked at him and asked, "What happened to you?"
The middle-aged man replied, "When they started fighting, one of the 'Living Dead Five Alliance' passed by me. A gust of wind blew on my arm, and the bones in my arm were completely shattered!"
