And amid his silent complaints, the chief steward of the Meng family and the ghostly figures carrying the sedan chair were visibly in a sorry state. The little ghosts shrieked as the golden light shone upon them, their Yin energy disintegrating inch by inch.

Just moments ago, the Yin energy had cloaked the ground, displaying a fearsome power, but now they dared not even approach.

Even more terrified was the chief steward. As a living person, he suffered even more from the Monkey Wine. Tearing off his sleeves initially was a quick reaction, and severing his hand later was done without hesitation. But now, he felt an increasing itch all over his body.

After just one encounter, he felt as if he were covered in burning coals. It was hot here, painful there, and the more he slapped, the more it spread, as if his whole body were ablaze with invisible fire.

At this point, he could no longer worry about Hu Ma. He roared and charged forward, slamming a palm with tricky force towards Monkey Wine, who was holding the lamp, caring not for himself, only wanting to kill the witch first.

Seeing this, Hu Ma gritted his teeth and raised his blade, ready to intercept the attack.

He had just been complaining in his mind that Monkey Wine was clearly a practitioner of witchcraft and Gu arts. Why not hide and use poison instead of running out like this?

Unexpectedly, as the chief steward's palm struck, Monkey Wine, along with the lamp in his hand, shattered instantly to pieces.

But as the lamp exploded, Monkey Wine did not disappear. Instead, he split into four, each holding a lamp, with one hand behind their back, coldly watching the chief steward.

The surrounding little ghosts, who were anxiously trying to rush forward but were afraid of the lamplight, became even more distressed. Together with the personal maidservant who was about to come forward to help, they retreated far away, not daring to approach.

"Demon, show yourself!"

The chief steward was furious. He stomped on the ground, using several special skills in succession, just wanting to force out the true form of the Gu user so he could kill him.

But as his mind was muddled, he only saw more and more lamps around him, piling up together, one after another, pressing close to him. He desperately attacked, but couldn't grab a single person.

"What is he doing?"

Hu Ma was astonished. In his eyes, there was only one Monkey Wine, but the chief steward was attacking here, hitting there, tearing off his own flesh, severing his own wrist, but never striking Monkey Wine.

"Looking for me."

Monkey Wine said calmly, "Witchcraft and Gu arts practitioners have never liked to fight head-on. They often need to hide, but I'm too lazy to hide, so I've also figured out some tricks."

"If you don't want to be found, it's easy. Just make him blind, isn't it?"

"..."

"Holy crap..."

Hu Ma didn't know how to describe it. He just took a deep breath and immediately knew that the chief steward was no longer a threat.

He was not a Shousui practitioner after all, not so thick-skinned. Having suffered such a heavy blow, he was undoubtedly going to die.

If someone else were to fight a Gu master, the longer it dragged on, the more dangerous it would be for the Gu master, because someone might withstand the evil arts of the Gu worms, or someone might find a flaw, find the location, but Monkey Wine was different from other Gu masters.

His Gu was infinitely changeable, and could be adjusted at any time, making it impossible to defend against.

Confidently leaving the place to Monkey Wine, he also picked up his blade, his killing intent surging, and once again charged towards the Second Young Master of the Meng family.

"Quick, quickly get the young master away..."

But the reaction on the other side was no slower than his. Just as Monkey Wine revealed himself, the group of little ghosts were driven away, and the chief steward went mad, hurting himself, the two maids, one dead and one alive, cried out at the same time.

The two looked at each other. The living one called the dead one "Sister," and then, holding a bone sword, charged straight towards Hu Ma...

...It was at this moment that she deliberately bypassed the area illuminated by the lamplight in Monkey Wine's hand.

And the dead maid gave her sister a faint look, busily called the little ghosts over, and they crowded

around, raising the sedan chair and flying forward like a gust of Yin wind.

"Not good..."

Hu Ma gritted his teeth and stepped forward. The fierce blade in his hand slashed out, cutting the living maid who wanted to delay him in half with one blow. Then, he strode forward, chasing after the sedan chair.

He had entered the mansion to shousui, using the ghost-stepping technique, and his speed was extremely fast. But how could the ghost-stepping technique be as fast as a real ghost running? He watched as the sedan chair was wrapped in Yin wind, floating away, already dozens of zhang away in an instant.

This was the skill of the little ghosts carrying the sedan chair.

It wasn't the first time Hu Ma had seen it. Cui Granny, whom he had encountered on the road when sending Fragrant Girl back to Anzhou, knew this technique.

But the little ghosts that Cui Granny used to carry the sedan chair were far inferior to those of the Meng family.

After fighting for so long, was he going to escape?

He gritted his teeth and followed behind, but only watched as the other party went further and further away. Beside him, Ma Ye, although seriously injured, was trying hard to support himself, afraid that the Meng family, who represented danger, would get too far away from him.

But it was only commendable in spirit. Even if it hadn't been injured, it was only the speed of an ordinary horse. Not to mention that it couldn't carry anyone at this moment, even if it could, it wouldn't be able to catch up...

Then, just as Hu Ma felt anxious, another gust of breeze blew through the main house of the Stone Horse Town headquarters.

On the old elm tree, the branches swayed gently again, and something fell again. This time, it was the pair of boots.

Hu Ma, who was chasing urgently, was slightly surprised. He saw a pair of strange boot shadows vaguely covering his feet. The next moment, he felt a sensation of wind beneath his feet, and he clearly saw a flat road in front of him.

The mountains were rugged, with cliffs and precipices, but when he put on these boots, it was like stepping on a breeze.

His figure suddenly accelerated, like lightning, and darted straight forward.

"What?"

In front, the Yin maid was leading a group of little ghosts, supporting the sedan chair, and quickly flying forward.

Now, they were all silent, not even daring to look at the Meng family's young master in the sedan chair.

As a member of the Ten Families, the Meng family was being killed and suffering heavy losses, fleeing in such a sorry state. It was a great shame and humiliation, and they would be ridiculed by others afterwards.

Unexpectedly, they suddenly felt a murderous aura approaching from behind. When they turned their heads, they were immediately frightened out of their wits. Could it be that they couldn't escape even if they tried?

"Walk the Yin path, borrow the ghost road..."

The Yin maid made a decision immediately. With a low shout, she took the lead in guiding the way. Her already blurred body rushed forward and turned into a cloud of ghost mist, wandering like opening a portal between Yin and Yang.

The group of little ghosts did not dare to hesitate at all. They crowded around the sedan chair and drilled into the portal, disappearing.

"Hmm?"

Hu Ma, who was chasing behind, only saw a cloud of mist from afar. The sedan chair surrounded by the little ghosts in front drilled into the mist and disappeared. He was shocked and guessed that the other party might have used some strange magic.

The Meng family had the ability to seal the Yin mansion and intercept the letter-delivering little ghosts of the One-Cash Sect, so naturally they also had the ability to borrow the Yin path, but he didn't know how...

"Holy crap..."

But as he was rushing, he didn't notice that just as he had chased after the Second Young Master of the Meng family over the mountains, a cloud of gloomy mist also appeared on the opposite mountain.

A man wearing a black robe, with a square face and a thin figure, holding a small black flag, walked out of the mist, deeply breathing, waving his hand to disperse the smoke, as if he still had lingering fears.

"This is damn dangerous to travel by borrowing the road of the Yin Mansion. Who would have thought that someone would have such great ability to seal the road of the Yin Mansion?"

"I was so scared that I didn't dare to come out for a long time..."

"I hope the matter that Brother Lao Bai Gan said is really important, otherwise it's not worth me taking this risk..."

"..."

While muttering to himself, he also busily looked at the surrounding environment, knowing that he should be near Stone

Horse Town. Before he could take a closer look, he suddenly heard a gust of Yin wind on the opposite mountain, and someone was clearly rushing.

He glanced over and saw the sedan chair being carried by the little ghosts in front, and Hu Ma chasing behind.

Hu Ma's figure was still covered by the brazier, and he could only vaguely distinguish his general shape. Only someone close or someone who heard his voice could possibly recognize him.

But this person stared intently, paused slightly, and was surprised: "How does this kid have this ability?"

He was immediately stunned, but he also noticed the Meng family's young master being chased. The other party was in a sorry state, with no ceremonial guard, and only two or three little ghosts, and they looked like their Yin energy was weak, clearly not anything amazing. He suddenly felt relieved.

Seeing that the other party opened a portal and borrowed the road to the Yin Mansion, he was immediately shocked. He didn't bother to ask any more questions, and waved the flag in his hand, and then hurriedly chanted a spell, and suddenly pointed forward:

"Haha, Yin and Yang have order, life and death have boundaries. Living people's grudges, who dares to borrow the road to the Yin Mansion?"

"..."

"Shira..."

He saw the Meng family's young master's figure, just rushed into the mist, the figure was blurred, almost imperceptible, Hu Ma was in a hurry, and saw them come out again.

Moreover, at this moment, they were clearly more panicked than before, and even a little confused: "The Meng family can seal other people's Yin roads, but damn it, this is the first time I've encountered someone who can seal the Meng family's Yin road..."

But Hu Ma, in surprise, had already followed the sound to look at the figure holding a small flag on the mountain over there, both surprised and happy, and shouted loudly: "Great, brother, it's me, hurry up and take action, don't let this Meng family's young master run away..."

"..."

"I saw it was you a long time ago..."

The figure on the mountain also laughed loudly, waving the command flag in his hand, and rolling Yin thunder greeted the people on the sedan chair: "He can't run away, this mere Meng family with only two or three little ghosts..."

"...Wait, who are you chasing? And which Meng family is this?"

"..."

"Of course it's the Tongyin Meng family!"

Hu Ma strode forward, the fierce aura on his blade overflowing, and shouted loudly: "Today I will definitely leave his life here!"

"Holy crap..."

Er Guotou, who was still happily waving the command flag, suddenly softened his legs and fell to the ground.
