Chapter 3 An Unexpected Turn

"Oh?"

Mr. Longjing, who was preparing the third arrow, was genuinely surprised by Hu Ma's words and turned to look at him.

Hu Ma's expression was more serious than ever as he said in a low voice, "When I thought you had betrayed us, the Reincarnators would want to kill you. But knowing you've suffered this injustice, they won't stand idly by."

"When you're wronged, you have to vent it. These seven arrows are important to you, but they're also important to us!"

"..."

Although Senior Longjing maintained a polite smile when facing Hu Ma, inwardly he felt only apathy and despair. But upon hearing Hu Ma's words, his pupils flickered slightly, and he chuckled, "I take back what I said about you being too cautious."

"To have this much courage is already remarkable."

"But do you understand how terrifying the Zhang family's furious revenge and the Meng family's full-scale assault will be?"

"How do you plan to deal with it?"

"..."

Hu Ma sighed softly and said, "That's my problem, Senior. Focus on preparing your arrows!"

As he spoke, he stood up and walked to the edge of the platform. Looking up, he saw the Meng family's patriarch laughing heartily as if he had gotten a great bargain, while the Zhang family's third master looked ashen.

With a wave of his sleeve, countless evil ghosts swarmed towards Hu Ma. The giant figure loomed over him, shouting, "Bold evil spirit, surrender now!"

"Do you think you can rest easy just by occupying this small plot of land?"

"Little do you know, this was built by my Meng family. At worst, we'll destroy it and bury you with this entire foundation of the City of Wrongful Deaths!"

"..."

When the situation wasn't so dire, the Meng family didn't want to destroy this ruin, because even in ruins, the foundation remained.

With a little effort, it could be rebuilt.

But now that they had gained a great advantage, this plot of land was no longer so important.

Even as they spoke and the evil ghosts pressed in, countless small ghosts appeared around them, sneaking into the depths of the City of Wrongful Deaths and attacking the ruins. Since it was made of Zi Taisui, it could be demolished as easily as it was built, and quickly too...

But at this moment, Hu Ma stood at the front, looking at the dark mass of Yin spirits and ghost generals from the Meng family, and said grimly, "This is a matter between Senior Longjing and the Zhang family. Does the Meng family really have the guts to interfere?"

"Insolent little demon, how dare you spout such nonsense?"

Hu Ma's question only made the Meng family's patriarch laugh. He merely waved his sleeve, urging his underlings to work harder.

At the same time, he didn't even bother to look at Hu Ma again, saying indifferently, "Come over and kowtow early, and you'll suffer less!"

"If you truly displease the Old Ancestor, you won't even have ashes left."

"..."

Hu Ma narrowed his eyes, looking at the Meng family's patriarch, and said chillingly, "Then I'll have to show you what this evil spirit is capable of."

"Your Meng family has provoked the wrong person..."

"..."

At that instant, the Meng family attacked, and even the ruins beneath his feet were in danger. On the altar, Mr. Longjing bowed to the third arrow.

And at this moment, Hu Ma took out the three talismans from his chest and slowly drew out the yellow one. He blew on it, and the yellow talisman suddenly burst into flames. The faint light was inconspicuous in this hazy underworld.

And at the same moment that Hu Ma took out the yellow talisman and burned it, countless Reincarnators, including Miss Red Wine, Erguotou, Double Distilled, Men Dao Lu, Huadiao, Monkey Wine, and others, were listening intently to the news from the City of Wrongful Deaths with bated breath.

Hu Ma was taking a great risk to assassinate the Reincarnator traitor, and everyone was concerned about the outcome.

Because it concerned the fate of the entire Reincarnator community, and they were stuck outside, unable to help, they were anxious.

Some impatient people were already regretting not going down with him.

They only had two talismans in their hands.

One red, one yellow. The red one meant that Lao Bai Gan (Old White Liquor) had chosen a target, and all the Reincarnators had to start working. So they had prepared long ago, waiting for the red talisman to burn to start killing.

And no one wanted to see the yellow talisman.

They knew what it meant once the yellow talisman burned.

But they never expected that the more they didn't want to see it, the more it happened. The yellow talisman suddenly burst into flames.

The moment the flame flared up, it startled everyone. Erguotou in the City of Wrongful Deaths clenched his fist and looked in the direction of the City of Wrongful Deaths with terror, even shouting angrily in his heart.

He didn't know what Lao Bai Gan had encountered, that he didn't even have a chance to burn the green talisman he had given him. Miss Red Wine's body trembled slightly and she felt a chill:

"This is bad, this is bad. How am I going to explain this to Xiao Bai?"

"..."

But at the moment of their greatest panic, Hu Ma's voice, through the yellow talisman, reached everyone's ears: "Everyone, this is not a last testament..."

"I am currently in the City of Wrongful Deaths in the underworld and have seen the senior who was imprisoned by the Zhang family for twenty years. He is not Tieguanyin, but Senior Longjing, who once used Nightmare Arts to curse and kill the entire Yi imperial family. Now, he is sending his great gift to the Zhang family!"

"..."

"What?"

Before they could recover from the surprise brought by Hu Ma's emphasis on "not a last testament," they were shocked again.

"Longjing?"

"What... what's going on?"

"..."

"Senior Longjing was imprisoned by the Zhang family and suffered a lot, even... humiliation!"

"..."

He tried his best to speak in a calm tone, with clear words, and quickly explained everything. Then his voice became more and more profound, with a hidden anger:

"The Qi of the human world has changed, and the downfall of the Zhang family is imminent. Mr. Longjing has prepared seven arrows for this world, and five have not yet been fired. Now the Zhang family is afraid, and the Meng family, who communicates with the underworld, wants to interfere and take on this karma for the Zhang family..."

"The altar has already been built, and if there can be one, there can be a second."

"The Meng family can rebuild this altar at any time, and by capturing any Reincarnator, they can expose us all."

"Most importantly, what the Meng family relies on is their Old Ancestor, but now, it can't take care of us..."

"So..."

He said, looking at the yellow talisman that was about to burn out, and slowly said, "Everyone, it's time to act."

...

...

"Whoosh!"

At the same time that Hu Ma finished speaking, most of the foundation beneath his feet had been demolished by the Meng family's ghosts. On the altar, Mr. Longjing was not a verbose person.

Seeing that Hu Ma didn't leave, he truly focused his attention on the straw man in front of him. His robe, stained with blood, stood upright, his brow furrowed, and he solemnly bowed to the third talisman arrow.

"Rumble!"

This arrow pierced through Yin and Yang, flying straight to the human world, to the northern capital.

And in this ancient and vast capital, there was a palace courtyard that had been sealed off twenty years ago. Now it was overgrown with weeds, filled with fallen bones and wandering vengeful spirits.

This arrow went straight through the palace courtyard, pointing directly at the Cheng Tian Hall, at the chair bound by countless iron chains and covered with white talismans written with the names of the ten families...

...That was the Dragon Throne!

Only those destined by Heaven could sit on it.

"Chih!"

As the third arrow landed, the white talismans on the chair suddenly began to burn simultaneously, and the iron chains clattered to the ground, seeing the light of day again.

At that moment, thunder rumbled for thousands of miles, and the clouds in the sky gathered and dispersed, as if the roar of a dragon came from the depths of the earth.

"Not good..."

In this world, even if suppressed by Qi,

It was no longer the turn of the remnants of the Yi dynasty to speak. They had long been controlled by various aristocratic families and grassroots warlords.

However, these grassroots warlords who harmed the land and became kings, although there were many with strong soldiers and sufficient supplies, all made the same choice, which was to temporarily occupy a territory, huddle in one place, wait for the opportunity, and dare not compete for the world.

They themselves found it difficult to explain clearly, but vaguely felt as if something had been pressing on their heads.

Invisibly, there was also something watching, making them afraid to act rashly.

It was not that no one had found capable people and strange scholars to tell their fortunes, but the result was often just that the time was not yet ripe, and the hidden dragon should not be used.

But at this moment, the various grassroots warlords in the world were either awakened in their dreams, or suddenly, the wind blew their flags.

They were shocked for a moment, slapping the table, only feeling that the pressure above their heads had inexplicably eased.

"The Meng family's Old Ancestor can't take care of us for the time being?"

"Damn it, that means that if the Meng family frees up their hands, they can grab one of us and expose everyone?"

"Mr. Longjing is awesome..."

"Damn it, this Green Tea is at least one of us, how can he be bullied like this by the Zhang family? I don't agree!"

"..."

And in the deeper parts of this world, those Reincarnators who were hiding in this world, with different identities and different regions, were also silent for a moment after listening to Hu Ma's words. Then, there were suddenly all kinds of exclamations and excitement.

"Lao Bai Gan is worthy of being the number one daredevil Reincarnator who causes trouble everywhere..."

And in Mingzhou, Miss Red Wine, who had settled here, quietly listened to those words and slowly closed her eyes.

Beside her was a young man in a black robe, holding a knife in his arms, who said in a low voice, "So this means..."

"The ten families all have terrible aspects..."

Miss Red Wine slowly said, "If we talk about it, the most terrible is the Meng family. Their power spreads across most of the world, and there are Fu Jun everywhere who are loyal to them. I don't know how many of the grassroots warlords are raised by them."

"But similarly, the Meng family is built on kowtowing. Once their Old Ancestor can't take care of others for the time being, then the Meng family is the weakest..."

"The weakest Meng family is threatening all the Reincarnators. What do you say we should do?"

"..."

The young man with the knife gradually widened his eyes, even trembling with excitement: "Finally... it's possible?"

"Yes!"

The smile on Miss Red Wine's face had become vaguely sinister, and there was even a kind of madness surging in her eyes: "Send a message to all the Reincarnators, take action immediately, and have a good fight with the Meng family!"
