Chapter 178: Secret Order of the Evil Ghost

"Go into hiding?"

Hearing these words, Hu Ma and Sweet Potato Burn were both slightly taken aback, while Miss White Wine remained silent, as if she had already anticipated this.

"Yes, stop all cooperation, even the best opportunities should be put on hold for now."

Second Pot's voice sounded unusually serious: "Even the usual calls and connections with reincarnated ones should be stopped."

"I believe you can guess the reason."

"The Yin-Communicating Meng Family has already arrived in Mingzhou City and has settled in Zhu Menzhen. It seems they plan to stay for some time."

"..."

"Because of them?"

Sweet Potato Burn, being quick-tongued, asked the question Hu Ma was about to ask: "Can the Yin-Communicating Meng Family really discover the secrets of the reincarnated ones?"

"Uncertain, but better to be cautious."

When Second Pot wasn't joking, his voice sounded very stern, and he whispered: "Logically, even the Ten Surnames Clan shouldn't be able to see through our ability to exchange information in dreams. However, better to be cautious. After all, quite a few reincarnated ones have been purged by the Ten Surnames Clan before..."

"Purged?"

Hu Ma was taken aback by this.

If it were just one or two reincarnated ones who, due to their own carelessness, got caught, that would be understandable.

But from Second Pot's words, it seemed quite a few had run into trouble?

Before he could ask, Miss White Wine said: "He's right."

"Remember, not only here, but in the future as well, wherever there are members of the Ten Surnames Clan, you should be extra cautious."

"..."

Hu Ma heard the warning and was about to agree, but upon hearing Sweet Potato Burn say "Oh," he held his tongue.

He silently said "Oh" in his mind.

Miss White Wine also agreed, then said: "But what you mentioned is a bit strange. The Meng Family came here, didn't they issue an Incense Order?"

"In the past, they occasionally issued Incense Orders to powerful evil spirits to help them gain incense offerings."

"But the Meng Family, being who they are, would issue the order and leave immediately, like the head of a dragon seen but not the tail. Why did they stay this time?"

"Also, is your Red Lantern Association planning to move against the Blue Robe Gang?"

"I have some businesses that need to be moved promptly."

"..."

"Seems like you're not just moving, but looking to fish in troubled waters, aren't you?"

Seeing Miss White Wine and Second Pot discussing the matter, Hu Ma just listened, quietly pondering.

Although cooperation among reincarnated ones had to be temporarily halted, with this information, he could take advantage of the Red Lantern Association's takeover of the Blue Robe Gang, and Miss White Wine could likely make a profit.

As he was learning from the old masters, he heard Second Pot's response, which was filled with doubt: "Strange, indeed."

"According to the rules, since the Blue-robed Evil Spirit lost, they no longer have the right to stand in Mingzhou Prefecture."

"The Blood Food Mine they used as stakes in the magical duel should naturally be seized, and other businesses and personnel should also be taken over by the Red Lantern Association."

"Even the Blue-robed Boys they raised would be killed without exception to prevent them from staging a comeback."

"But this time, the Red Lantern Association did indeed win, yet this necessary action was halted by a member of the Meng Family."

"..."

Upon hearing this, everyone was surprised: "Halted?"

"Yes."

Second Pot's voice was full of doubt, and he whispered: "The magical duel is already won, and the Red Lantern Lady has the opportunity to build a temple in Zhu Menzhen, which is a given."

"More crucially, the takeover of the Blue Robe Gang's Blood Food Mine and other branches has been halted. Now, the Blue Robe Gang has only handed over the Blood Food Mines they used as stakes, leaving everything else intact, and none of the Blue-robed Boys have been killed... This means the Blue-robed Evil Spirit's strength remains intact!"

"Yet, the Red Lantern Lady has no objections to this."

"Such an irregular move can only mean one thing: the Yin-Communicating Meng Family gave the order, and the Lady dared not disobey."

"..."

Miss White Wine fell silent for a moment before saying: "What status does the Blue-robed Evil Spirit hold to deserve such leniency from the Yin-Communicating Meng Family?"

Hu Ma just listened more and spoke less.

Sweet Potato Burn, however, cautiously interjected: "Or perhaps they have some use for it?"

Hu Ma immediately nodded in agreement in his mind.

The Blue-robed Evil Spirit had already lost, yet the Red Lantern Lady was not allowed to finish them off. There was only one possible explanation: the Meng Family wanted to use them.

"Gentlemen..."

At this point, Second Pot took a deep breath and said: "The information I've shared so far is just a friendly favor."

"But what I'm about to say involves some extremely risky secrets."

"Once you hear it, you'll owe me a favor."

"..."

With these words, everyone perked up their ears. Second Pot seemed to wait a moment to see if anyone would disconnect at this point, then continued:

"The Meng Family indeed plans to use that Blue-robed Evil Spirit."

"Although I didn't dare eavesdrop when they spoke, being close to the Lady, I managed to guess a bit."

"That Meng Family must have given the Blue-robed Evil Spirit a Secret Order to help them find a person. Not only did they mobilize the Blue roBed Evil Spirit’s full power and influence in Mingzhou City to find this person, but they also instructed the Red Lantern Lady to fully cooperate with the Evil Spirit during this search."

"..."

"Find a person? And to go to such lengths, even driving the second-ranked Evil Spirit in Ming Zhou Prefecture to find someone?"

Leng Buding’s words left everyone in the room stunned. Diguashao blurted out, "It can’t be looking for us, the reincarnated Ones, right?"

"I’ve considered that possibility, but I’ve ruled it out."

Second Pot Elder brother slowly said, "Speaking of which, the only ones worth the Meng Family’s attention in all of Mingzhou Prefecture are us, the Reincarnated Ones."

"But soon I realized it might not be the case."

"The reason is simple. The Blue roBed EvilSpirit is just that, a mere thing. If the Meng Family truly wanted to find us, sending it would be underestimating us, right?"

"..."

Hu Ma was momentarily stunned, then he thought about it and nodded. It did make sense.

Mentioning the Blue roBed EvilSpirit and the Red LanternLady was indeed terrifying. They were bizarre and unstoppable existences.

But compared to the identity of theReincarnated Ones, they seemed somewhat lacking.

How to explain it? Who is the mostPowerful Evil Spirit in Ming zhou PrefectureNow?

...These Four!

However, if the Meng family wasn’t looking for the Reincarnated Ones, who else could they be looking for that would make them linger here and even specially send the Blue roBed Evil Spirit to find?

Currently, Second pot ElderBrother and Miss White Wine, along with Diguashao, were all speculating about this.

Only Hu Ma remained silent. He didn’t speak much in this conversation, so his silence wasn’t unusual.

After hearing Second Pot Elder Brother’s information, a somewhat frightening possibility gradually formed in his mind.

Could the Meng Family be looking for Himself?

Or to put it another way, could they be looking for the Hu Family’s descendant?

After seeing that Procession, he was almost entirely certain that the MengFamily, who were mentioned by Grandmother, were indeed the Hu Family’s Enemies.

Hu Ma didn’t know much more, but he could see that the Procession of the Meng Family was somewhat similar to when Grandmother returned to the Ancestral Hall. At least on Some Level, there was a Strange Unity Between The Two. If to speak truly, only when both sides were evenly matched, did they have the right to call each other enemies...

Of course, he still lacked ConcreteEvidence, but thinking in this direction wasn’t wrong.

However, if the MengFamily were really looking for him, why would They Make It So Complicated?

When Grandmother Left, She Didn’t Have Him Hide or ChangeHisName.

So he Just Followed the Steps, Joined the Red LanternAssociation, Learned Skills, and Gradually Turned Himself into a LivingPerson.

Logically, if the MengFamily entered Old Yin Mountain and Asked Around Big SheepVllage, They Could Easily Find Him. Moreover, Since They Once Sent PowerfulEvil Spirits to Old Yin Mountain to Harm His Predecessors, It Doesn’t Make Sense That They Wouldn’t Know About Big Sheep Village. Why would they make it so complicated now?

Furthermore, if they really wanted the Blue roBed Evil Spirit to find him, what method would the Blue roBed Evil Spirit use?

For a moment, his mind was somewhat confused.

Currently, the information he had was still too limited. He had a vague suspicion, but couldn’t analyze a situation.

And if Hu Ma couldn’t analyze it, Second Pot Elder Brother and the others naturally couldn’t either. In the end, Miss White Wine Sighed Gently, "No matter what, whoever the Meng Family is looking for, it’s definitely not a simple person. We just need to be careful."

"From the fact that the Meng Family entrusted the Blue roBed Evil Spirit to find someone, it’s clear they don’t know who they’re looking for."

"Moreover, they don’t want to make too much fuss. Otherwise, one word, and the whole Prefecture would help them look."

"So, we just need to observe and we’ll see some clues."

"..."

Second Pot Elder Brother and Diguashao nodded repeatedly. Hu Ma also pondered for a moment and sighed, "Yes!"

In the end, the four of them could only Set Aside the second question and confirmed their plan to lay low. Diguashao, Enthusiastically asked, "Senior predecessors, what are your real identities in the real world?"

"I only know that Second Pot Elder Brother and Old White Dry are in the Red Lantern Association, but I don’t know who you Are."

"If we can’t contact in dreams, Can we send a message in the real world if something happens..."

"..."

Hearing her words, the Three Were Stunned for a Moment, Then They All Smiled Faintly.

Second Pot Elder Brother Laughed, "We who have been around for so long, Never Reveal Our True Identities to Anyone."

"Don’t Believe Me? Ask Your Old White dry at home..."

"..."

What could Hu Ma Say?He CouldOnly Give a Hoarse Laugh, "Yes!"

He Quickly Disconnected, Laid on the Bed, and Sighed Deeply. In His Heart, He Couldn’t Help But Worry, "Are the Meng Family Really Looking For Me?"
