Chapter 331 Talents are Treasures

The Five Shas Altar envoys were creating evil everywhere, and in just a few days, they had harmed countless people. Moreover, they possessed skills that ordinary people couldn't match; if they encountered them, they would surely die.

However, since a Reincarnator was taking action, Hu Ma wasn't worried at all. He believed that as soon as they made a move, the Five Shas Altar envoys would have no way out.

He was still a little concerned about the Digua Shao (Sweet Potato Burn) side. After all, Digua Shao was young and not very skilled. Although she was eager to participate, she only had a treasure passed down from her master that she could rely on.

In terms of power, her biggest identity was as the rich wife of a rice merchant, followed by being the leader of the Jia Guan Sect. However, this sect only had one member, her husband, who had now become her puppet.

Could she handle a Sha envoy on her own?

Just as Hu Ma was worrying about this, Digua Shao had already led her men to surround the woman holding the child. They were all fierce-looking people, crouching behind the grass stack, and she whispered, "Mrs. Lu, is this really a fat sheep?"

"Isn't it?"

Digua Shao looked very serious and whispered, "I'm sure of it. She's carrying at least a hundred taels of silver and a few Blood Feast Pills!"

"Have you heard of Blood Feast Pills? They're good treasures for prolonging life. If you eat one, your skills will improve by at least thirty percent."

"This little woman originally wanted to come to our rice shop to exchange the Blood Feast Pills for money and then have us send someone to escort her to Shangjing to join her relatives, but can we do that?"

"Why bother with a low-profit business when you can make a killing?"

"..."

Digua Shao's pretty face looked very smug as she said, "So I immediately invited our Black Dog Master and several brothers from the road to take down this fat sheep together and divide the benefits?"

"Are you sure you brought enough brothers?"

"Since she dares to travel alone, she must have some skills. Women, children, and old men in the martial world are not to be underestimated."

"..."

"Don't worry!"

Black Dog Master, who had a fierce look about him, scanned Digua Shao's graceful figure crouching on the grass stack and chuckled in a low voice, "I've brought half the village's brothers, all of whom have blood on their hands."

"Catching such a little woman is a piece of cake, right?"

"..."

Digua Shao laughed, "Then be careful. All the gold is yours, I'll take two Blood Feast Pills, and you take one. Is that a deal?"

"Deal!"

Black Dog Master grinned ferociously and agreed.

This was truly a good deal that fell from the sky. Black Dog Master was a well-known figure, a local tyrant in the village. During the busy farming season, he worked in the fields, and when he wasn't busy, he led the brothers in the village to rob goods on the road.

But they were different from other robbers; they wouldn't just let people go after being given a few coins like beggars.

Instead, they would rush up, throw lime powder, set traps, rob all the goods, kill all the men, and kill the women who weren't pretty to feed the pigs. The pretty ones would be taken back to the village for the brothers to play with until they got bored, and then they would be killed.

He got to know this rich wife of the rice merchant because they had robbed the Lu family's rice shipment. As a result, this rich wife came to his door, and somehow they became brothers, occasionally working together on a job or two.

Black Dog Master didn't understand anything about the martial world because he wasn't from the martial world in the first place. In theory, he was just a farmer.

But he wasn't stupid; he knew that this was an opportunity. This rich wife of the rice merchant was bold and humorous, but it was a pity that she was a fool who really treated him as a brother. When she had such a good job, she came to him, wanting to make a killing.

Unfortunately, her good luck had run out.

Once this job was done, he would have a hold over her, and the rice merchant's money would belong to the brothers, right?

Even her, whom he had been craving for so long, should be his.

Having made up his mind, Digua Shao had already rushed out and stood in front of the woman holding the child, shouting loudly about how this mountain was hers, which surprised Black Dog Master. How did this rich wife of the rice merchant know so much jargon? She was even more fluent than him!

"Blocking the road?"

The woman holding the child seemed startled and then smiled, "Which family's little girl is this? Why aren't you at home embroidering, but learning this kind of trade?"

It wasn't that she hadn't noticed that there was a group of bandits hiding behind the haystack, but she was puzzled. They were clearly a bunch of farmers who didn't know anything; why would they want to block her path?

"What's wrong with this trade?"

The lame little girl who was blocking the road was unhappy when she heard this and shouted, "Do women have to stay at home and raise children? Can't women come out and make a career?"

Saying that, she shouted, "Brothers, attack!"

Before she finished speaking, handfuls of lime powder were suddenly thrown out, scattering towards the woman's face.

The bandits threw lime powder and then rushed up, attacking with all sorts of things.

Originally, they didn't need to bring so many brothers to deal with a woman like this. The reason they brought so many was that they knew she had some skills and didn't dare to be careless. Since they didn't dare to be careless, why bother talking? They would just attack her with dirty tricks.

The woman didn't expect them to attack so quickly. She smiled, waved her sleeves, brushed away the lime powder, and said with a smile, "Why are you so ungentlemanly? Aren't you going to talk first? Aren't you afraid of offending someone important?"

Before she finished speaking, a dark mass came over again. She hurriedly waved again but was still poured over her head. She immediately smelled a foul stench; it was a bucket of feces and urine.

She was instantly furious, "You're courting death!"

As a Five Shas Altar envoy, when had she ever suffered such a loss? She was about to kill someone when she turned her face.

Unexpectedly, those people rushed up first, holding ropes, nets, hooks, and dung forks in their hands, and swarmed towards her, stabbing and poking her.

The woman was so angry that she laughed. She took out her weapon and slashed down two people. Normally, when encountering these bandits, killing two of them would scare the others, and they would only kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.

But she didn't expect that even though she had killed two, the others didn't care at all and continued to rush up and attack.

Even the two who had been killed by her got up from the ground, their movements stiff, but they continued to surround her, desperately attacking. The key was that the people around them didn't seem to see anything unusual about them; they just surrounded her and shouted for her to be killed.

"Affected by a soul-suspending spell?"

The woman immediately understood that the lame little girl was probably not an ordinary bandit. While dodging the attacks, she looked around but couldn't see her anywhere.

Only two faint chuckles could be heard from the nearby forest.

"Seeking your own death."

"I want to see which sect you're from that you dare to plot against me?"

The woman no longer held back. She threw the baby in her arms, which turned out to be a little ghost, tied with a red thread. It bounced around on top of everyone's heads, biting off the necks of several people.

"Ouch..."

The little girl's exclamation sounded from the side of the road, and then the bushes trembled. She turned her head and ran, limping but not slowly.

"Little sister is here, why don't you talk to me?"

How could this woman let her escape? She chuckled, retrieved the baby, and held it in her arms. Her figure was like a ghost floating in the wind, following her unhurriedly.

Following all the way, one in front and one behind, they chased into a village.

The lame girl's figure flashed and disappeared. Only a chuckle came from the village, "Be careful, my three aunts and eight uncles are all here. If you dare to come in, we'll strip you naked and match you with the old bachelors in the village."

"Is that so? I want to know the family of this bold girl and see who taught her."

This woman naturally knew that there must be something strange in the village, but with the spiritual treasures around her, she didn't care about that. She smiled faintly and floated into the village, looking around.

Immediately, her expression froze slightly. The houses in the village were lit with oil lamps, but they were all empty. There wasn't a single person, but a strong smell of blood rushed into her nose.

Then, suddenly, a shrill whistle sounded. From all directions in the village, countless people emerged, each with a hunched body, holding farm tools, like evil ghosts, rushing towards this woman. The rolling Yin energy made it difficult for this woman to open her eyes.

The doors and windows of the village suddenly opened and closed automatically. Behind the windows, one paper figure after another could be vaguely seen, staring at her blankly, chanting aloud, as if countless evil ghosts were calling her name at the same time.

"Don't try so hard..."

Amidst a scene of panic and crying, there was only one voice chuckling, "Such a big blood altar can block all spells and break all techniques. Don't even think about summoning ghosts; you won't even have time to send a message..."

"Blood Sacrifice Altar?"

The woman holding the child was shocked and floated backward, forced out by a surge of blood. Her face changed drastically, "You sacrificed the people of this entire village?"

"Where are you going..."

That chuckling voice rang out, saying:

"After all, you are the incense burner under Master Five Shas' command. Isn't it disrespectful to Master Five Shas to only use one village of people to deal with you?"

"So I used three villages..."

"I told them that there was a rich wife in this village who was giving out eggs and rice, and the people from these three bandit villages all came over..."

"..."

With the sound of her voice, that lame girl appeared smilingly behind the crowd.

Clutching her crutch, she hopped and smiled at the woman, her expression playful: "You said you scavenge for treasures everywhere and carry so many good things, but you can't use them all to create evil and kill enemies. What's the use?"

"Haven't you heard that people are the real treasures? If used well, they're even more powerful than the Grand Duke of Jupiter?"

"..."

The woman felt terrified. She mustered all her strength and shouted, "Madman, evil person, demon, where did you come from, you bad seed?"

"Nonsense, don't slander good people."

That lame girl put on a straight face and said, "Clearly, it was you, the incense burner under Master Five Shas' command, who harmed so many people in order to scavenge for treasures. I'm just passing by and picking up a treasure. You can't let me take the blame for you..."
