“Since I said I wouldn't let you leave, you can't leave!”

The moment Hu Ma gave the order in the Zhenchui Bureau, he was already filled with murderous intent. His eyes were grim as he stared at the Meng family's master.

When he saw these golden armored warriors being blocked by the various Prefecture Lords, he had already decided to capture him himself.

Speaking of which, the Meng family and the Hu family were truly interesting. The Hu family's methods, whether through the Ghost Gate Path or the Zhenchui Bureau, seemed to restrain the Meng family in every aspect.

However, because the Meng family was restrained by the Hu family, they had also figured out various ways to counteract the Hu family's methods. Thus, even if the Zhenchui Bureau was fierce and the golden armored warriors were strong, the Meng family's master could disappear completely.

Untraceable, impossible to restrain.

However, besides the Hu family's methods and the Zhenchui Bureau, he also had the Dharma Image of the Great Mighty Heavenly General's Seal.

A watchman's skill was their quick reaction and accurate identification of people. Now that he had his eyes on him, did this Meng family's master still think he could escape?

Of course, Hu Ma never expected that just as he was stirring his magical power, his robes fluttering, and he flashed out of the Zhenchui Bureau, ready to unleash his magic and use the watchman's skills to chase after and capture the man, he suddenly heard a burst of gongs and drums from ahead.

He only saw a team of Yin soldiers and ghost generals approaching triumphantly through the dense dark clouds ahead. At the very front, there was a person sitting in a wooden basin.

Behind her was the Meng family's master, who was tightly bound by the ghost generals, tied up with ropes, and struggling desperately.

Hu Ma was stunned when he saw her at a glance: "Wait… why are you here?"

The person sitting in the wooden basin tilted her head immediately when she saw Hu Ma, confirming his identity. At the moment, she couldn't see Hu Ma's face clearly, but after hearing Hu Ma's voice and seeing his reaction, she suddenly became elated.

She hurriedly stood up from the wooden basin, waving her hands vigorously: "Senior, Senior, I heard you're causing trouble here again…"

"I came to help!"

"…"

"…"

Looking at Di Gua Shao's excited face, Hu Ma pinched himself a few times to make sure he wasn't dreaming.

So…

…he was even more stunned?

Taking a closer look, he saw that Di Gua Shao looked rather disheveled now. Her little face was covered in smudges of gray, and her rich lady's clothes, although she tried to straighten them, were torn everywhere.

Looking at her side, the tall, short, fat, and thin ghost kings and Yin soldiers, with long tongues, cut in half at the waist, missing arms and legs, and with human skin drums and torn flags.

They looked as miserable as could be, yet they were all elated, insisting on dressing up like a regular army. Seeing the Meng family's master in their hands, with a lifeless expression…

"Wait…"

It took him a long time to finally recover: "Can someone explain how you appeared here?"

"Eh?"

Di Gua Shao immediately looked surprised: "Didn't Senior ask me to come?"

Hu Ma was even more stunned: "Me?"

"Yes…"

Di Gua Shao answered with absolute certainty. While handing over the Meng family's master to Hu Ma, letting the golden armored warriors restrain him, she chattered excitedly, telling the story with a smug look on her face: "Back then, didn't you ask me to go to Xishan Dao, Wazhou?"

"I wouldn't dare to be careless about what Senior ordered, so I solved the people on the list one by one!"

"Afraid that I wouldn't do a good enough job, I solved a few more outside the list…"

"…"

"You solved a few more?"

Hu Ma had a look of shock on his face: "If you were so attentive, why haven't I seen you come back to report?"

Di Gua Shao said: "Because I encountered some big ones, I couldn't handle them!"

"?"

Hu Ma was stunned: "There's someone you can't handle?"

"It's that Shilipo Caoguan God in Wazhou, who is also a ghost king, with very profound magic!"

Di Gua Shao said: "At that time, I had only refined the Man-Demon General by about thirty or forty percent, barely considered entering the mansion, not enough to see."

“… Honestly, this is my fault!”

Listening, Hu Ma could only examine himself: "It was indeed a bit stressful to let you deal with a ghost king level at that time."

"But I always felt that with your skills, killing enemies across realms shouldn't be a problem…"

"…"

Di Gua Shao was immediately moved when she heard this: "In the end, Senior, you trust me the most…"

"This kindness is hard to repay, not to mention those two thousand catties of blood food?"

"At that time, I was also thinking that no matter what, I couldn't let Senior down, so I started using my brain…"

"…"

"Why do I instinctively feel a little scared when I hear her say she's using her brain?"

Hu Ma muttered in his heart and braced himself: "And then? What about your brain…"

"At that time, I thought…"

Di Gua Shao said: "I can't beat this ghost king alone, wouldn't it be better to have more people?"

"Blood energy suppresses evil spirits!"

"Of course, this kind of powerful ghost can't be dealt with by just grabbing two people from the village. So I inquired about the situation over there and learned that there was a Waguan Mountain Three-Headed Flood Dragon Caotou King, who also had tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, with power spanning several states."

"The soldiers under his command have all seen blood. If he helps, it shouldn't be a big problem to get rid of this ghost king."

"…"

Hu Ma immediately understood her idea, but instantly felt absurd: "Which one who can become a Caotou King isn't a dragon among men?"

"Even if they are reckless, there are still many capable people and strangers under their command. Can you fool them so easily?"

"Besides, if they are all in Wazhou, how can you be sure that this Caotou King and that ghost king don't know each other?"

"…"

"Senior is really like a god…"

Di Gua Shao exclaimed: "That ghost king is actually the Three-Headed Flood Dragon's Dharma Protector God…"

Hu Ma was even more shocked: "Then you…"

"I didn't fool anyone…"

Di Gua Shao said: "I just found out about the ancestral grave of the Three-Headed Flood Dragon's family, and then buried three hundred catties of blood food in his family's ancestral grave."

Hu Ma: "???"

Di Gua Shao said: "Then I went to provoke the ghost king, making him so angry that he chased me for more than three hundred miles. As he chased, he arrived at the ancestral grave of the Three-Headed Flood Dragon and smelled the blood energy…"

"I have to say, Senior, that evil spirits really can't resist seeing blood food. He forgot about chasing me, and he forgot about any friendship or rules…"

"Seeing the appearance of the ancestral grave, if I were the Three-Headed Flood Dragon, I wouldn't spare that ghost king either…"

"…"

"Who the hell can spare him?"

Hu Ma didn't feel relaxed at all in his heart, but was really frightened by Di Gua Shao.

Looking at Di Gua Shao, who still had an excited face and hadn't had enough fun, he digested it for a long time before sighing deeply: "So, in order to kill that ghost king, you provoked the Three-Headed Flood Dragon."

"But because the capable people under the Three-Headed Flood Dragon saw through the flaws, in order to get rid of this big trouble, you also 'persuaded' other several aristocratic families, two Caotou Kings, to make things difficult for this Three-Headed Flood Dragon…"

"… Wait, what's with that little flag?"

"…"

When Di Gua Shao heard Hu Ma ask, she immediately took it out like a treasure. When she shook it, the Yin wind was blowing, and ten thousand ghosts were crying:

"I picked it up!"

"…"

"Yes, yes, you picked it up…"

Hu Ma sighed helplessly: "You picked up this flag from their battlefield, and you felt that it would be a waste if you didn't use it, so you took all the dead soldiers on the battlefield into the flag."

"As a result, because the matter became too big, you were targeted by the people of the Wuchang Li family, who wanted to arrest you. There was no way, so you could only escape into the Yin mansion, forcefully break into the Ghost Gate Pass, and hide in the Peeling Clothes Pavilion?"

"Yes!"

Di Gua Shao said proudly: "I know the Wuchang Li family too well. After hiding in the Ghost Gate Pass, they won't chase me."

"… But maybe the things I caused were a little bit big, and they still didn't want to give up."

"They also invited the Meng family to come and catch me!"

"…"

Hu Ma had already connected the dots. When he first arrived here, he did see the Meng family and Guiren Zhang going out together to catch some kind of villain: "Knowing that someone was coming to catch you, you still dare to come over? Shouldn't you run as far away as possible?"

"That's what I thought at first…"

Di Gua Shao said: "But I don't know why, just as they were about to catch me, they suddenly received some important news and hurriedly withdrew. I thought, how could they give up catching me halfway?"

"In the past, everyone had to catch me no matter what!"

"Since they even gave up on me, it only means that something is happening here, so I decided to follow them and come over to take a look…"

"Just as I arrived outside this Wretched Death City, I met those two kind elder brothers and elder sisters. They told me that this is Wretched Death City, and also said that there are big shots fighting happily inside, and they only advised me to go far away."

"When I thought about it, they didn't want to say because they thought I wasn't qualified enough, so I took out the token of the Xiaotang Official of the Ghost Catcher that Senior gave me back then and showed it to them."

"As soon as they saw it, they were immediately excited…"

"…"

Speaking of this, Di Gua Shao also had a serious and earnest expression: "When I heard that the Great Ghost Catcher was here, fighting with someone?"

"How could I hide?"

"Senior's business is my business!"

“I also immediately put myself in…”

"…"

"I…"

Listening to Di Gua Shao chattering so much, Hu Ma suddenly didn't know how to respond.

After a long time, he sighed softly: "I really, thank you…"

"We're on the same side, what's there to be polite about?"

Di Gua Shao waved her hand casually, and stretched her head around to look: "Is there anything else to be solved here?"

Hu Ma took a deep breath and waved gently. Four golden armors came over. In the flickering golden light, they had already taken down the Meng family's master's Yin soul. Chains were wrapped around him, and golden nails pierced his soul. Without saying a word, they dragged him into the Zhenchui Bureau and pressed him under the incense burner. He also lowered his head and looked down.

Under Wretched Death City, the endless bones had returned to slumber. Only a few faint lights had not disappeared, as if countless distant eyes were looking at Hu Ma.

After a long time, he sighed softly, withdrew his gaze, and said: "Let's go up first!"

"For those who provoke the reborn, they have paid a price for it…"
