Running A Cemetery in North America

Somewhere on the island, in several adjacent caves.

When the huge sound of waves roared from the north of the island, a few Daoists dressed in worn-out robes slowly walked out of the caves.

The skin of these Daoists was very pale, like old corpses that had just crawled out of coffins, even their pupils had mutated to an inhuman color.

"It's time for the sacrifice to Saintess Cizhou again," one of the Daoists said indifferently.

"Is there still no way to extract 'Longevity' from Saintess Cizhou?"

"It's already rare for us to achieve longevity with Master Xu's help, remembering that year when Emperor Qin Shi Huang ordered Master Xu to go to sea in search of longevity, only to return without success. Although Saintess Cizhou contains the opportunity for longevity, it is not something everyone can obtain."

"Back then, Master Xu discovered Saintess Cizhou in the East Sea and specifically ordered the Chai Clan to keep her here, hoping that one day we could find the secret of longevity, but in the end, Emperor Qin Shi Huang never achieved his wish for longevity, leaving only us neither human nor ghostly things, lingering here for years."

"Master Xu also drank the longevity potion back then, he should still be alive today, but for some reason he hasn't returned after all these years. Could something unexpected have happened?"

"With dynastic changes outside, the second generation of Qin perished, Liu Bang of Han for four hundred years, the Three Kingdoms divided into Jin, chaos among the Five Barbarians lasted several hundred years, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing. Master Xu might have long surrendered the idea of resurrecting Emperor Shi to achieve longevity, and his absence is perhaps relinquishing this matter."

"Alas, we still need to guard this Grotto Heaven for the sake of feeding Saintess Cizhou. Our Chai Clan has paid too much over thousands of years."

"Master Xu's commands must not be violated. Even if Master Xu has given up resurrecting Emperor Shi, we must wait for his orders to end all this."

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

As the old Daoists were debating, a sudden earth-shattering roar came from the north of the island—a lament from a giant beast.

The old Daoists immediately exchanged glances, each seeing the shock and disbelief in the eyes of the others.

"Not good, something's happened to Saintess Cizhou; let's go check it out!"

...

With the help of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill, the inspirations of Shi Langfei and Lin Wan returned to normal.

This way, they could both see the true form of Saintess Cizhou clearly.

When they saw that hideous and ugly appearance, they were both immensely shocked. Even as Tomb Guardians, they were caught in illusions before Saintess Cizhou, let alone ordinary mortals.

"So this is the real secret of the Chai Family Village; their entire Chai Clan has been sacrificing live humans to this monster for a long, long time, and even called it an Immortal," Lin Wan realized.

Lin Wan exclaimed, "What should we do now?"

"Of course, we must eliminate this monster," Shi Langfei said as a flash of white light emerged from his hand, revealing the magical treasure spear he had just obtained.

"This is the secret of the Immortal Island. To receive the reward, we must annihilate Saintess Cizhou and bring peace to Chai Family Village."

Shi Langfei looked at Sun Yan and asked, "Sun Yan, what do you think?"

"I have no objections," Sun Yan nodded. Any monster that feeds on mortals can be called a demon.

And for demons, Sun Yan never shows mercy; if it should be killed, it will be killed.

"Alright, then I'll make a move," Shi Langfei directly summoned his magical treasure, the Centipede Bee Bag.

Previously, he had used the Centipede Bee Bag mainly for reconnaissance, but as a magical treasure of the Black Killing Star, the bag held more than just that function.

At this moment, the true function of the Centipede Bee Bag was fully revealed.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

A large number of Poisonous Centipede Bees swarmed towards the feeding Saintess Cizhou, their dense numbers resembling a floating black cloud from a distance.

Before the villagers of Chai Family Village and Saintess Cizhou could react, the bees were already gnawing ferociously at the monster, indifferent to death.

The monster roared in pain, angrily swatting at the bees biting into its body.

The villagers, originally kneeling, now realized what was happening and rose to help Saintess Cizhou fend off the suddenly appearing bees.

But it was beyond their power to disperse them, and failing to help, the villagers were themselves stung by the bees, their faces swelling, they rolled on the ground pathetically.

Unable to restrain himself any longer, Shi Langfei emerged with a steel spear in hand, charging towards Saintess Cizhou on the cliff.

Sun Yan and Lin Wan, fearing he might be overwhelmed alone, quickly followed.

The body of Saintess Cizhou, covered in bee stings, became extremely agitated.

Upon seeing Sun Yan and his unfamiliar companions, she immediately swiped her hand, a strong wind blew intending to swat them like flies.

Sun Yan, eyes focused, threw the newly acquired Mountain-Cracking Axe.

With his Incense Ash Magical Power activated, the short axe expanded in mid-air.

Soon it grew as large as a door, about to slice through Saintess Cizhou's swooping hand.

Thud!

Unsurprisingly, the Mountain-Cracking Axe cleaved through Saintess Cizhou's hand, green blood splattering and sizzling on the ground.

The villagers of Chai Family Village were dumbfounded at the sight, kneeling in fear, and kowtowing.

"Saintess forgive us! Saintess forgive us! We had nothing to do with this."

"Saintess forgive us; this has nothing to do with Chai Family Village. Punish those intruders, spare us."

In the eyes of the villagers, Saintess Cizhou was an Immortal, and now these strangers had severed her hand, an act of utmost blasphemy and foreboding disaster.

To Sun Yan, however, it was a different matter altogether.

The most terrifying, despairing existence in this world is one that cannot be killed, one whose demise is unknown.

As long as a being bleeds, it is merely an ordinary life that can be killed. Life bleeds and will die.

Knowing this, Saintess Cizhou is no different from pigs, cows, or sheep.

Watching the green blood soak the ground, Sun Yan was reassured, clutching the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade, he thrust at Saintess Cizhou's abdomen.

This strike, today, would end the legend of the god of the East Sea Fishing Village!

Saintess Cizhou's six tentacles thrashed wildly, smashing towards the cliff as the moment her hand was severed, she succumbed to boundless rage.

Never before had humans, these insignificant insects, failed to show respect, never daring to lift their heads.

But now, Sun Yan dared to hurt her!

"Humph!" Saintess Cizhou let out a mournful wail, hurling herself with hatred and fury at Sun Yan, the winds howling and clouds shifting as the earth crumbled.

The villagers of Chai Family Village shut their eyes, covering their faces in dread.

"Divine punishment, this is divine punishment!"
