“What’s that noise?”

The loud sound from outside the city also caused a sudden change in the situation within the city.

Bai Mao had already followed Di Gua Shao’s side. With the help of the paper money filling the sky, he swept across a large area of houses and streets. It was unknown how many Undead of Shangjing had their lives bought by this paper money, and even more unknown how many people were directly caught in the paper money.

After all, Wuchang restrains Siming. The Undead Wang family made such a move in Shangjing, and the first thing they needed was the nod from the Li family.

This was also the reason why the Wang family's young master wanted to save the Pipa Niang from twenty years ago in the Zhi Shou Pavilion, but he needed to borrow a little essence and blood from the Wuchang Li family sisters first.

And in this Shangjing City, the Wuchang Li family also had to avoid suspicion and could not let too many people in. Otherwise, others would not say anything, but the Wang family would be unhappy first. But precisely because of this, the appearance of Di Gua Shao caught the Wang family off guard.

This paper money all over the sky, what kind of low-level magic is it? In this Shangjing City where people don't know how to dodge, it is simply Yan Wang calling names.

At this moment, the Wang family's experts all had drastic changes in their expressions, and they quickly dispersed their manpower.

One was to trap them and capture them as soon as possible, and the other was to worry that they would really spread the paper money to the entire Shangjing City.

"Just listen to me, use your paper money to seal the fatal points in all directions."

Facing the movements of the Wang family members, Miss Bai Putao was also anxiously making arrangements, asking Di Gua Shao to cast spells on the spot. Endless paper money swept in all directions, like a rolling snowstorm, directly wrapping a large area of houses inside, and temporarily protecting them.

"Bai-jiejie, we can't escape like this..."

Di Gua Shao's nature was to let the Wang family chase them if they wanted to. He would buy more life for himself first.

Therefore, upon hearing Miss Bai Putao's idea, he didn't quite understand. But Miss Bai Putao was very confident. She was still in the form of a white cat, coldly scanning the surroundings.

She said grimly, "I've seen the flesh and blood furnaces they use to refine pills, and I also know how these Undead in the city were refined. The Wang family can indeed break your paper money formation, but the cost depends on whether they can afford it."

"We don't need to rush to escape. Just wait here for Lao Bai Gan to send the signal..."

"..."

Upon hearing the name Lao Bai Gan, Di Gua Shao immediately became less impulsive and instead looked around furtively.

He worried, "This time, I started without waiting for Senior's signal. I wonder if he will be angry..."

Miss Bai Putao was surprised to hear this. "Are you so concerned about his attitude?"

Di Gua Shao said seriously, "Of course, or what if he doesn't let me play with him anymore?"

Miss Bai Putao was speechless for a moment.

She was the one who introduced Lao Bai Gan to Di Gua Shao. How did these two end up playing together inexplicably?

"They are trapped in a dead end and can't escape..."

At this time, seeing the countless paper money like a snowstorm, the Wang family members who had rushed over also shouted sharply, "But this disturbance has allowed her to steal an unknown amount of purple qi. Since people from the Xinghun sect are causing trouble here, should we ask the Wuchang Li family people to come?"

"No need."

But facing the discussions of the hall officials, the Wang family leader only shook his head coldly, "The Wuchang Li family and the Undead Wang family have always been secretly competing. The Wang family's roadblock, if it weren't for the Li family's refusal to open their hearts, might have been broken long ago."

"If we let the Li family people come now, they might see through the Wang family's methods. Afterwards, it might really confirm the unfounded saying that Xinghun restrains Siming."

"We will quell this disturbance with our own abilities."

"..."

As he spoke, his eyes became extremely sinister. "Paper money buys life, drawing a circle to imprison oneself?"

"The Wang family has no shortage of lifespan."

"Even a little bit that leaks through our fingers is enough to crush you. You can buy it, but let's see if you can withstand it."

His subordinates all understood his meaning, and their expressions changed drastically.

The evil spirit from the Xinghun sect was using the method of paper money to buy life. This method could be said to be invincible when facing the people of Shangjing, but there was also an upper limit to buying life.

If the life bought was too heavy, the person casting the spell would not be able to withstand it, just like a tiger eating people. Eating too much would also cause it to burst. However, the Undead Wang family had enough "life" to burst the tiger, so this method was feasible.

Of course, it would seem a bit silly.

But the Wang family leader knew what Miss Bai Putao had seen in that pharmacy.

These things had to be prevented from being taken away by the reincarnated evil spirits, and even more so, they could not be allowed to be seen by the Li family.

"Paper money buying life is a low-level method. Once this thing is refined, whether you buy it or not, it's up to it."

And when the Wang family's order was issued, Miss Bai Putao had also looked at Di Gua Shao seriously, and said solemnly, "So you just stay here. The Wang family will naturally send lifespan up, but you haven't crossed the bridge yet, so you can't withstand it. So you have to listen to me..."

Facing her serious expression, Di Gua Shao also listened seriously, and then stared at the white cat, asking the question he was most concerned about, "Bai-jiejie..."

"If you turn back into human form now, will your clothes still be there?"

"..."

One sentence choked Miss Bai Putao half to death. She almost couldn't help it, and her claws directly scratched her face.

Without time to think carefully, the Wang family had already begun to act, and rolling purple qi surged over.

And just as one of them was defending and the other was attacking strongly, in Shangjing City, a wisp of purple qi ascended to the sky. Suddenly, it was like the sky was falling and the earth was cracking, and endless flesh and blood fell to the ground.

Half of the huge Shangjing city wall collapsed, and more than ten thousand Shangjing city guards were crushed and swallowed by the flesh and blood that fell from the sky. In the entire Shangjing, countless people felt the rumbling from the ground, almost unable to stand steady, like a thunderbolt from a clear sky.

The people who were standing stiffly on the ground in the city all turned around at this time, facing the direction outside the city.

"Not good..."

At this time, in the ancestral hall area, just as the national preceptor was forcibly sending the spirit for Hu Ma and was about to take a ruthless action, he was startled by the huge movement outside the city. He turned around abruptly and looked in the direction outside the city:

"How could those evil spirits comprehend such abilities?"

"Did the Zhu family leak the secret, or... or did she not keep the agreement?"

"..."

"You have provoked someone you shouldn't have provoked..."

The movement outside also startled Hu Ma. He kept guessing what was happening outside, but his shock suddenly turned into joy and smugness when he saw the shock on the national preceptor's face.

He laughed loudly at the national preceptor and shouted, "Things have come to this, your plan has been almost ruined, right? It seems that not all of the ten surnames are willing to work for you..."

"What? Are you going to leave with your tail between your legs, or should I drive you away?"

"..."

The national preceptor shouldn't have been distracted by other things at this time, but he couldn't help but take a look outside the city. Now that he was reminded by Hu Ma, he finally turned his attention back to him.

A feeling of fatigue rose to his heart, and he sighed, "Indeed, it is unrealistic to expect the ten surnames to risk their lives."

"In the words of those people back then, they are the vested interests, and their nature is too weak."

"It is also unrealistic to expect evil spirits to always follow the rules. They do not respect our world. When they see this world for the first time, they will not think about learning these things honestly, but instead, they will think about changing this world into the way they want it to be..."

"So, when they have a certain foundation in the way of magic, they will gradually walk a path different from ours..."

"..."

Thinking of this, he seemed to have a moment of disappointment and wanted to let go, but in an instant, this thought had fallen off. Instead, he slightly concentrated his mind and looked at Hu Ma, and said softly, "Little friend Hu, you have done a good job."

"You can have these arrangements and prepared so many backhands. It can be seen that you had made up your mind before returning to Shangjing. You will not be moved by external things, so naturally you can be ruthless."

"But there is one thing I don't understand. You are so well prepared, why did you still have to return to Shangjing?"

"As long as I catch you, I will catch the Twelve Ghost Altars, and I will still control the most fundamental things. You are equal to handing your own life gate into my hands?"

"..."

As he spoke, he walked forward, knowing that the situation was urgent and not planning to waste time. The energy around his body caused the world to seem to shake, and the rolling mana set off a strong wind. The national preceptor's figure looked almost overwhelming at this time.

As if feeling the national preceptor's solemnity, Hu Ma also became serious.

Looking left and right, the four mysterious reincarnators had already occupied the four corners, blocking the path he hoped to escape from.

Not to mention that he couldn't escape with the national preceptor's abilities, even if he had any tricks left, in the current situation of fighting one against five, it would be a certain death.

So, he also put away the sarcasm on his face and said calmly, "I came back because you made the chess game too big."

"In the chess game, some people want to become immortals, some people want to steal immortals, but no one cares about the lives of the people outside, and no one can speak for them."

"..."

"So you want to learn from your Hu family's ancestors and enter the game for those mud-legged people?"

The national preceptor did not show mercy in his attack, and rolling mana walked around the ground, but his voice still seemed very calm, "But in my opinion, you came back too early. Now, you don't have the confidence to enter this game for them."

"It's precisely because I don't have it that I have to come back!"

Hu Ma said in a low voice, also secretly performing his skills. Soul light was already blooming on his body, and the surrounding mana was rolling and condensed into a dharma form.

Faintly looking at it, he had a green face and fangs, and his height reached four or five zhang. He had four arms, bared his teeth and brandished his claws. One hand held the general's command, one hand held the wordless seal, and the other two hands grabbed the officer's broadsword from the ground.

There was still one empty hand, but he suddenly thought of something, reached out and grabbed the black disaster bag around his waist.

In an instant, fierce aura overflowed, and the wind rolled. Even the reincarnators around him changed their expressions.

"We meet the Great Mighty Heavenly General again!"

Suddenly seeing this dharma form, the national preceptor's mana seemed to stagnate slightly. He took a deep look at Hu Ma, and his expression seemed a bit emotional. "It's a pity that it's only half."

But in the next moment, he gently raised his foot and stomped down, and suddenly the earth trembled, yin and yang were unbalanced. Hu Ma had already condensed the dharma form, but he actually had a feeling of being suppressed by endless strong winds and unable to stand steady. Since he had cultivated the Great Mighty Heavenly General Seal, this was the first time.

"Half?"

But facing the national preceptor's fierceness, Hu Ma also gritted his teeth and shouted loudly, and suddenly, he swung the officer's broadsword and slashed forward: "It is precisely because it is only half that it is easy to deal with you."

With a bang, soul light bloomed, and the officer's broadsword came into contact with the national preceptor's surging mana. A layer of the ground was rolled up, and layers of stone slabs were lifted up, shattering like paper.

But the national preceptor gently raised his hands upward, and then suddenly flipped them down. In the next moment, the stone slabs that flew into the air, whether broken or complete, suddenly fell down at the same time and stuck to the ground.

Also suppressed were Hu Ma and even the Great Mighty Heavenly General dharma form.

The national preceptor's brow had already furrowed, as if he was really a little puzzled, and said softly, "You could have not taken this risk to see me, but you had to walk this dead end. What is the reason?"

Now his expression was calm, admitting his failure and realizing many things that had begun to get out of control from this day on.

But he really couldn't understand Hu Ma's behavior of returning to Shangjing to surrender himself.

No matter how many reasons he said, it couldn't change the essence of this behavior of hitting a stone with an egg.

Thinking from this perspective, he felt that the few unexpected backhands that Hu Ma had made before seemed reasonable. It was precisely because he had backhands that he dared to come back.

And now that he had no backhands, he had to loudly fight with himself, this is...

...crazy?

"Seizing life in the gate of life and death, you taught it, National Preceptor!"

"Only if you don't have the confidence to survive, and you have the determination to die, can you truly seize that pillar of life incense, isn't it?"

At this time, Hu Ma's expression was already grim, staring at the national preceptor, "Everything I encountered along the way was arranged by you, and they were not real gates of life and death. At that time, I knew that the opportunity for me to truly risk my life to seize life was actually in this Shangjing City..."

"Otherwise, why do you think I would entrust Zou Gui to others?"

"..."

Perhaps it was because he was now showing too much ruthlessness and determination. Even the national preceptor, who was capable, would be a little afraid of someone who was desperately trying, and finally, at this moment, his expression was slightly surprised, and he retreated slightly, and said in a low voice:

"Seize life?"

"You already have nine pillars of incense..."

"You can't cultivate the tenth pillar of incense, that's not what this world can allow..."

"..."

"The heavens are dead, the yellow heavens should stand!"

And Hu Ma also gritted his teeth at this time, even at the cost of the dharma form breaking, and suddenly broke free, like a fierce god, and rushed towards the national preceptor:

"You calculated and calculated, didn't you calculate that since twenty years ago, Lao Jun Mei had already been coveting the laws of your Da Luo Faction?"

"The second half of the Great Mighty Heavenly General Seal law is precisely on the road of your Da Luo Faction!"

"...Thank you, National Preceptor!"
