Not only Cui Gan Niang, but also the several helpers present, realized how formidable their opponent was.

Except for the old man with the scar on his face, who stood there with a faint smile, whether it was the craftsman with one eye pierced by a nail, or the snake charmer, they were already retreating, greatly fearing the red lantern floating in mid-air outside the woods...

They didn't know that the red lantern's appearance was limited, only that such a powerful evil spirit had come, and it was too difficult to deal with.

This kind of life-risking job was not something that could be taken on casually.

"What are you waiting for?"

Cui Gan Niang noticed their change and suddenly turned her head, roaring at them in a hoarse voice, "At this point, you still want to run?"

"It's too late!"

As she spoke, regardless of the three violently shaking jars in front of her, she looked grim as a ghost and shouted to the others, "Old brothers, don't be cowards. Do you think I just want to get rid of these grave robbers? Do you know who's in their coffin?"

"That's the eldest daughter of the Dongzi Li family, who guards the Gate of Ghosts. If we really let her go back, do you think the Dongzi Li family will spare us?"

"In less than half a month, every single one of us will be caught and used to fill the ghost caves!"

"..."

"What?"

These people were already in a panic, and now they were even more frightened, almost fainting.

Completely disregarding their dignity, they cursed at Cui Gan Niang, "Are you crazy? Why did you provoke such a family? Why are you dragging us into this?"

"..."

"Dragging you into this?"

Cui Gan Niang gritted her teeth, looking more like a ghost than a person, and said grimly, "What do you mean dragging you into this? From the day you entered this Jianghu path, you were already in the water."

"The first day I was dragged into this mess, I prepared evidence of your crimes. If anything happens to me, none of you will have a good time."

"Over the years, how much benefit have you gained from me? Now you want to wash your hands clean?"

"..."

The others were shocked and angry, and a murderous intent arose in their hearts, but seeing Cui Gan Niang's unyielding and stubborn appearance, they suddenly felt guilty. After all, everyone did have each other's secrets in their hands.

If they were really exposed, the government wouldn't care, but there were plenty of people who could make their lives worse than death.

Amidst the shock and anger, the scarred old man whispered, "Gan Niang, you're usually not one to act without thinking. Why provoke such an evil family?"

"I didn't have a choice."

Cui Gan Niang immediately seized the opportunity to back down, and whispered, "I've done so much business in Pingnan, and I've provoked a lot of powerful people!"

"I was already prepared. Usually, others can't find my residence, but I don't know what happened. That day, I just arrived at a new house that no one knew about, but in the middle of the night, someone in a black sedan chair found me."

"I used so many methods on him, but none of them worked. The other party didn't say anything else, just told me to abduct someone."

"I've never seen such a bizarre technique, and seeing that he knew a lot about my background, I had no choice but to do it. Fortunately, the other party didn't mention anything else, just asked me to abduct that person and send them away."

"It was extremely easy to get her when I abducted her, and there were no accidents when I sold her. The black sedan chair didn't come looking for me again. But one day, a bag of blood-nourishing pills suddenly appeared on my pillow, which must have been the reward."

"..."

Wang Laizi said anxiously, "This kind of thing sounds strange. Didn't you try to figure it out, Gan Niang?"

"Figure out what?"

Cui Gan Niang whispered, "This kind of person can easily take my life. I can only obey. The more unnecessary things I do, the faster I die."

"You're all old hands in the Jianghu, do you have any other options?"

"..."

For a moment, everyone was speechless.

If they were in her shoes, facing such a mysterious and strange person, they really wouldn't have a solution, and could only say, "Then what? How did you know they were from the Dongzi Li family?"

"I was worried for several months, and there was no other movement. After learning a little, I found out that the girl had already been sold to the South, and had been resold several times, so I felt relieved."

Cui Gan Niang gritted her teeth, as if talking about something bizarre, "But a few months after this incident, the black sedan chair suddenly found me again in the middle of the night, and coldly threw me a sentence, saying that the young lady had been rescued and would soon be sent home."

"And said another sentence..."

"..."

She paused here before whispering, "Said that the person I abducted was the Dongzi Li family's young lady."

In her words, mentioning this person's identity, there was unspeakable annoyance and terror: "How did I know that she would be from the Dongzi Li family? I just abducted her casually at the time, and sold her off casually."

"But that person only threw me a sentence, saying that the Li family's young lady had been defiled."

"If she returns to the Ghost Cave pure and innocent, not to mention me, the entire Beggar Gang in Pingnan will be hunted down by the underworld emissaries."

"I had no choice but to rush up to remedy the situation."

"..."

Everyone who heard her say this gasped, and their anger was evident.

Especially the craftsman who had obtained the Qijia Xingguan wood, immediately glared with his only remaining eye, and looked fiercely at Cui Gan Niang: "Old hag, no wonder you were so generous and willing to give me this treasure?"

He knew that in the past, when Cui Gan Niang kidnapped people, especially those with a background, to avoid trouble, she would usually hammer a nail into their heads.

This nail was to make them forget their past, so as to avoid adding trouble, and to make them obedient. Whatever Gan Niang said, that was it.

How could she casually give away such a treasure?

Now he understood that she was worried that once the Dongzi Li family found out, they would follow the nail to find this Qijia Xingguan wood, and then find her, so she wanted to get rid of this hot potato!

In their eagerness, everyone present, including the scarred fatty, couldn't wait to kill Cui Gan Niang directly.

But Cui Gan Niang became straightforward, and looked at everyone with a sneer: "Anyway, that's the matter. It's an unexpected disaster for me, and you brothers have already been dragged in."

"If we really let her go back, and things get out of hand, not to mention what the Dongzi Li family will do, I'm afraid the master in the black sedan chair won't spare our lives..."

"Now that things have come to this, do you have any good ideas?"

"..."

Listening to her sophistry and stubbornness, everyone present didn't know what to say.

Dongzi Li family, Dongzi Li family...

Since this matter is really related to the Dongzi Li family, they have no choice but to get involved.

Now that they have all been dragged in, they must first solve this trouble, and then settle accounts with Cui Gan Niang little by little!

"We can't hold back anymore, none of them can be left alive!"

The snake charmer gritted his teeth and took out a gray leather bag from his car, with things bulging inside from time to time, looking extremely strange.

At this moment, he revealed a rare ferocity, and with a violent tug, he opened the mouth of the bag, reached in, and in the next moment, a painful expression appeared on his face, but he still pulled out the contents of the bag little by little.

When everyone saw it, they were immediately startled and avoided looking at it.

"Two-headed snake!"

What he took out of the bag was actually a bright red snake, and what was strange was that both ends of the snake were heads, and they were both demonic and fierce. One of the snake heads was now biting his arm.

The snake teeth pierced into the flesh, and black blood gushed out.

This was an extremely fierce creature that the snake charmer, Wang Laizi, had spent his whole life trying to find.

Ordinary people who took one look at it would have bad luck and would have to go home to burn incense and bathe, and then stay at home for three days without going out.

By taking out this snake, he was undoubtedly preparing to take drastic measures.

"Old Carpenter..."

The snake charmer gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and called to the craftsman, "You craftsmen know how to use imprecation to turn a Feng Shui treasure land into a cursed land, but what do you think of my snake?"

"Forget it, forget it, I was greedy for this Qijia Xingguan, and got involved in such a thing..."

The craftsman-like man, with deep fear, glanced at the two-headed snake, gritted his teeth, and took off the basket behind him. After rummaging through it, he found a strangely shaped file.

He said sternly, "I can only use this method, but once this method is used, whether it succeeds or not, it will definitely bring disaster to my descendants. It seems that only two of my three sons will grow up..."

"...Cui Gan Niang, remember this debt!"

"..."

As he spoke, he tore his clothes and grabbed a handful of mud from the ground, smearing it on his face.

Then, he faced the altar, clapped his hands upwards, and then respectfully knelt on both knees, and immediately lowered his palms, his forehead touching the ground.

He actually performed the prostration ritual.

"Gan Niang, you have harmed all the fellow Daoists in Pingnan..."

Even the scarred old man closed his eyes slightly, and after a long time, he sighed and said to Cui Gan Niang, "The people of the Dongzi Li family don't leave their homes, they only guard their own little territory, but do you really think they are easy to deal with?"

"If it was just to abduct someone, there are plenty of Beggar Gangs and Flower Gangs in Lingshou Prefecture. Why did the other party run so far to Pingnan to find you?"

"To put it bluntly, isn't it just that if things succeed, they succeed, and if things don't succeed, they let you bear the consequences?"

"..."

Cui Gan Niang spat hard on the ground and said, "What's the use of you saying this now, old brother?"

"I'm now dragging you all in, and I'm going to drag the entire Beggar Gang in, just to save our lives. If we help the other party, if things succeed, then they succeed."

"If it doesn't succeed, does anyone really have the ability to wipe out the entire Beggar Gang?"

"..."

"It's not that simple..."

The scarred old man sighed lowly, but took out a roll of leather whip with bone joints from his sleeve:

"It's been many years since I used this Life-Stealing Whip..."

"But after this matter is over, Gan Niang, please bring the eldest lady from the Dongchang Prefecture government office over here, and we can just go out and hide..."

"..."

Cui Gan Niang was stunned when she heard this, and suddenly laughed, "Good, very good!"
