Ch 107: The Lantern Lady
Li Hanzhou did not sense a powerful aura from the Lantern Woman.
She seemed like stagnant water, more like an ordinary person.
But Li Hanzhou knew that in the Tianxuan Forbidden Zone, there were no ordinary people.
“Did you erect this cenotaph?” Li Hanzhou didn’t ask about the woman’s origins; he first asked about Li Qingfeng’s tomb.
“Mm.”
The Lantern Woman slowly walked forward, past Li Hanzhou, then to Li Qingfeng’s tomb, slowly crouching down.
Gently stroking the tombstone, she said, “It’s been many years.”
Li Hanzhou remained silent, quietly watching the Lantern Woman’s back. He felt she should know the Old Daoist Priest, but according to the timeline, the Old Daoist Priest was a figure from countless years ago.
How did this woman know the Old Daoist Priest?
“Does he still drink?”
Suddenly, the Lantern Woman slowly asked.
“Ah?”
Li Hanzhou was startled.
“I’m asking you, does Li Qingfeng still drink?” The Lantern Woman glanced back at Li Hanzhou: “Having lived with him for so long, don’t you know if he drinks or not?”
Hearing this, Li Hanzhou was shocked.
His eyes showed an incredible expression.
This woman actually knew he knew the Old Daoist Priest?
How is that possible?
That was all before he transmigrated to the Tianxuan Realm, something that happened on Blue Star.
Who exactly is she?
“During festivals, he’ll have a couple of drinks.” Despite many questions, Li Hanzhou answered the Lantern Woman.
“Heh, I knew it.”
The Lantern Woman shook her head helplessly: “That old geezer, he swore he would quit drinking, said he’d never drink again, yet he still drinks secretly.”
Observing the Lantern Woman’s expression and tone, Li Hanzhou felt as if they were an old couple.
Could this be the Old Daoist Priest’s wife?
“Senior, what is your honorable name? What is your relationship with… the Old Daoist Priest?” Li Hanzhou couldn’t help his curiosity and asked.
“Li Qingfeng and I?” The Lantern Woman showed a pensive expression: “Bitter enemies.”
“Bitter enemies?”
Li Hanzhou laughed; he didn’t believe it at all.
If it were said they were sworn enemies, he might believe it somewhat.
“Did Senior want to meet me in the Tianxuan Forbidden Zone?” Li Hanzhou thought the Vice Dean said someone wanted to meet him in the Tianxuan Forbidden Zone; it should be this person, right?
“It’s me.”
A wheel appeared in the Lantern Woman’s hand, a small wheel that looked like it was made of stone, but the spiritual power it emanated was incredibly profound.
“Reincarnation Disk.”
Li Hanzhou stared at that thing, recognizing it immediately as the Reincarnation Disk.
“Li Qingfeng asked me to give this to you.” The Lantern Woman walked over, handing the Reincarnation Disk to Li Hanzhou: “This is the Innate Spirit Treasure, the Reincarnation Disk. It once belonged to your Longevity Temple. Later, Li Qingfeng entrusted me with it, saying that when he met you one day, he should give this to you.”
Li Hanzhou took the Reincarnation Disk, frowning and asking, “Did the Old Daoist Priest have a specific reason for having Senior give me the Reincarnation Disk?”
“I don’t know, he didn’t say.” The Lantern Woman shook her head: “That old fox is very cunning; he won’t tell me some things.”
“Thank you, Senior.” Li Hanzhou clasped his fists in thanks.
“This thing is yours too.” At this moment, the Lantern Woman took out the Jade Bottle. The Jade Bottle was still struggling, but its mouth was plugged with a wooden stopper by the Lantern Woman, so its struggles were futile.
“The Spirit Treasure you refined is interesting.” The Lantern Woman looked at the Jade Bottle in her hand: “But you took all the Spring of Immortality in the Tianxuan Forbidden Zone. Someone will cause you trouble.”
“That person wanted to cause me trouble anyway.”
Li Hanzhou looked into the distance, his gaze suddenly sharp: “This person used the Death Burial Feng Shui Formation to seal off all the spiritual power of the Tianxuan Realm. Even if he didn’t cause me trouble, I would still cause him trouble.”
The Lantern Woman suddenly laughed.
“You’re very clever.”
“But also a bit reckless.” The Lantern Woman said with a smile: “You think this Tianxuan Forbidden Zone is so easy to traverse? Even the Spear Immortal perished here, and you dare to act recklessly here?”
“Forget it, I’ve suppressed all the other troubles for you, but I can’t help you with this last one.” The Lantern Woman looked into the distance.
Li Hanzhou’s heart stirred; he finally understood. Having taken all the Spring of Immortality, the Tianxuan Forbidden Zone certainly wouldn’t let him leave easily.
But the Lantern Woman had suppressed all the troubles.
“That’s a Death Burial Feng Shui Formation’s formation point. If you want to overturn it, you must deal with the final trouble.” The Lantern Woman said calmly: “Because of certain rules and restrictions, I can’t help you. You can only solve it yourself. But I advise you not to provoke him. Leaving now with the things might be the best outcome.”
Li Hanzhou took the Jade Bottle, then pondered and asked, “Senior, do you know who created these zombies…?”
“A madman.”
A faint killing intent appeared in the Lantern Woman’s eyes.
“Knowing too much won’t benefit you now. He doesn’t have the energy to deal with you personally for now, so you can rest assured.” The Lantern Woman said: “When you reach Foundation Establishment, I can tell you what you want to know.”
“Foundation Establishment?”
Li Hanzhou smiled: “In that case, I must break this Death Burial Feng Shui Formation point!”
Having said that, Li Hanzhou’s figure instantly soared into the air, rushing towards the distance.
He could sense the Death Burial Feng Shui Formation point was ahead.
As expected, from afar, Li Hanzhou saw a very large ancient tree; this ancient tree was one of the Death Burial Feng Shui Formation points.
But when Li Hanzhou saw what was hanging on the tree, his expression immediately darkened.
Eight coffins were hung on the tree.
One stone coffin was in the center.
The other seven coffins were arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper, forming a formation around the central coffin.
“Seven Stars Gathering Yin Formation.”
Li Hanzhou didn’t expect the guardian here to be such a big shot.
Using the Seven Stars Gathering Yin Formation, the deathly aura of the seven strong persons in the coffins nourished the strong person in the central stone coffin.
This way, the strong person in the stone coffin would be even stronger than when he was alive.
Coupled with the zombies’ inherently invulnerable physical bodies, it was extremely difficult.
But the Death Burial Feng Shui Formation point was right before him. If he didn’t remove it, the Tianxuan Realm’s spiritual power would never recover. Moreover, Li Hanzhou could sense a large amount of spiritual power suppressed within the Death Burial Feng Shui Formation point.
If he could absorb it, it would be of great benefit to him.
