Po Jun (Breaking Army), Qi Sha (Seven Killings), and Tan Lang (Greedy Wolf) are all peerless ominous stars.

When these three stars appear together, the world will be in chaos. Yet, the same stars can also reverse fate and quell the turmoil.

Whether these stars are fierce generals, ambitious heroes, or demonic entities depends on both the individual and the emperor.

Blind Yi said, "At that time, the Qing Dynasty was already declining. That family was utterly loyal to the Qing. It would be more accurate to say that they were searching for Tan Lang on behalf of the Qing."

Lin Zhao countered, "That family sought Tan Lang for the sake of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. What are you looking for Tan Lang for?"

Blind Yi smiled, "It seems the legend of Tan Lang has faded with time. No one knows what Tan Lang can bring anymore?"

"There are only three reasons why people seek Tan Lang."

"First, to kill Tan Lang. Po Jun has already emerged, and Qi Sha has entered the cycle of reincarnation. If Tan Lang appears, the world of magic will be in chaos. Some practitioners believe that as long as Tan Lang doesn't appear, the tribulation can be avoided, and most of them will survive."

"Especially in the Reincarnation Department. Many people there hold this view."

"Second, to subdue Tan Lang." Blind Yi chuckled, "I really can't understand why a bunch of illiterate commoners want to be like Zhu Yuanzhang. They dream of pacifying the world and establishing a new dynasty."

"Subduing Tan Lang is easier said than done! Unless you are a wise and benevolent ruler, why would a valiant general submit to you?"

Blind Yi sneered again, "The third type is even more ridiculous. They want to take Tan Lang's destiny and become Tan Lang themselves."

"Stealing destiny? Nonsense! Destiny is predetermined. Do they think they can just take it because they have a head on their shoulders?"

Blind Yi added, "There are all sorts of legends about Tan Lang. Some say Tan Lang is naturally inclined towards wealth and beauty, and treasure will appear wherever he is born."

"And many people actually believe this."

"That's why more and more people are coming to Erlin Town to wait for Tan Lang."

Lin Zhao glanced at me before saying, "Continue."

Blind Yi said, "That family represents the imperial court. We Jianghu people are somewhat resistant to the court and don't want to deal with them."

"But we're not willing to just leave like this! We've been waiting here for years. Are we just supposed to throw away all the effort we've put in?"

"We're stalling that family while waiting for Tan Lang to be born."

"In the end…"

Blind Yi hesitated before saying, "That family is still a cut above the rest! They can't find Tan Lang, so they're planning to create Tan Lang."

Lin Zhao exclaimed subconsciously, "Is that possible?"

Blind Yi said, "At first, I didn't think it was possible either."

"But I bribed a servant of that family and learned of their plan. After careful consideration, I realized that their plan was not without merit."

"That family had gathered several top-notch practitioners. As long as they accurately calculated the time and location of Tan Lang's birth, and had their young master marry a suitable woman and conceive before the predicted time, and then killed everyone within a ten-mile radius who could compete for destiny with him, Tan Lang would inevitably be born into that family."

"Too cruel!" Lin Zhao gritted his teeth. "Killing those who could compete for destiny with that family, doesn't that mean killing all the pregnant women nearby?"

Blind Yi shook his head, "Do people in the world of magic even care about whether their actions are morally right?"

Blind Yi chuckled and said, "Do those who want to become meritorious military officials care about a few deaths?"

"What happened on the day that young master got married was exactly as I told you. I didn't lie about that."

"That family did seal off their residence. However, the real trouble didn't happen when the young master got married, but on the day Tan Lang was born."

"That night, the ominous light of the Tan Lang star surged wildly. The starlight seemed to intentionally shine on this mountain, illuminating half of it, especially that family's courtyard, which was right in the center of the starlight!"

"All of us practitioners hiding in the town couldn't sit still anymore. We… we attacked that family."

"That night, we all went crazy. Completely crazy."

"The whole family, young and old, went into battle. Even the maids were wielding knives and fighting us to the death! We all charged into that family's courtyard like demons. The pregnant woman was screaming in the house, but we were outside killing people like madmen."

"The family didn't know that the midwife who was helping their daughter-in-law deliver the baby was also one of us. We were killing people outside to give the midwife a chance to take Tan Lang away."

"Just as we were about to break into the entrance of the main hall, we suddenly heard someone laughing inside."

"First, the midwife laughed, then the young master laughed, and then five or six people were laughing… the laughter didn't sound human at all!"

Blind Yi shuddered, "Have you ever heard a night owl laugh?"

"It was like a group of night owls laughing inside the house!"

"Everyone attacking that family was stunned. No one knew whether to continue attacking or retreat immediately."

"Just as we were hesitating, a woman in white clothes, half of her body stained with blood, floated out of the house like a ghost. That woman killed anyone she saw, first killing everyone in that family, and then starting to kill us practitioners."
