Chapter 206: Hu Clan Member
Chapter 206: Hu Clan Member
His heart shuddered slightly, and the incantation for the killing curse paused, causing the black-clothed person's blade to hover in mid-air without striking down.
Hu Ma noticed the flame before him, which had been burning fiercely, suddenly began to wane rapidly, as if it were about to disappear. Fortunately, at that moment, Old Tree Stump sighed softly, and the flame steadied itself before burning brightly again.
Hu Ma instantly understood that someone from the Meng family had arrived.
He had known this person would come as soon as he decided to use the techniques from the Hu Clan's Year-Taming Book to subdue the Blue-robed Evil Spirit.
However, looking around, he saw no one. Instead, within the Rice-Character Circle, a faint talisman glowed on the Blue-robed Evil Spirit.
The golden light emitted by the talisman transformed into a small figure, who bowed to him and said with a light laugh, "I came specially to visit the Hu Clan members."
"I didn't expect to see you, World Brother, and to witness the long-lost Year-Taming Secret Technique. What a fortunate encounter..."
"..."
Seeing this person appear, Hu Ma's heart raced, but he forced himself to remain calm and looked at him coldly, "Driving an evil ghost to harm the people and forcing me to reveal myself... was it you?"
"..."
"Was it you?"
"..."
"How could it be?"
The figure smiled faintly and said, "I am a Meng family member, and though I can communicate with Yin spirits, why would I do something to harm the people?"
Hu Ma could guess this person's nature. He was clearly reckless but always maintained a facade. He had driven the Blue-robed Evil Spirit to do such things but wouldn't admit it, as if he were preserving his own dignity.
Of course, it was also possible that, being from a side branch of the Meng family, he truly feared bearing the blame.
Not wanting to play along, Hu Ma just sneered, "You've done it, and you still want to save face?"
"If you won't admit it, tell me why you went to such lengths to bring me out?"
"..."
Hearing this, the figure's expression became slightly solemn, and he said seriously, "I came to visit because there is something important to discuss."
"I hope, World Brother, you won't be too busy to see me."
"..."
Hu Ma sneered, "I will see you, but I don't have time now."
"If you won't see me, at least hear me out."
The Meng family member, hearing this, did not seem surprised but immediately said, "World Brother, to be honest, before I came, I already saw Bai Clan Grandmother. The elderly lady is stubborn and holds onto old grudges, refusing to prioritize the greater good. But you should understand the stakes..."
"The other nine surnames have been waiting for the Hu family members to return to plan a major event."
"..."
"Return?"
Hu Ma was actually shocked inside.
The person mentioned Bai Clan Grandmother, who must be the grandmother who returned to the ancestral hall. How is she now?
Also, why is this Meng family member speaking so strangely, saying they are waiting for him to return? Didn't the Meng family try to harm him before? As long as he wasn't foolish, he wouldn't return. Why would the Meng family member still say this?
The other nine surnames are waiting for the Hu family members to return to plan a major event...
...What major event?
He felt an urgent need to ask but immediately reminded himself. He sensed that the Meng family member seemed to think he knew something. knew nothing about the Hu and Meng families, and even Senior Old Tree Stump believed he had lost his memory and did not understand the enmity. But they didn't know.
If he asked now, it might alert the other party. However, he didn't want to miss this opportunity. His mind raced, and he sneered, "Your Meng family is so capable, why do you need me to return? Can't you do it yourselves?"
"..."
The Meng family member detected the mockery in Hu Ma's words and laughed bitterly, "World Brother, you're joking..."
"To plan the major event, how can it be done without you?"
"..."
"Me?"
Hu Ma felt even more puzzled but wanted to probe further. He felt Senior Old Tree Stump's gaze on him.
He knew the senior was warning him not to delay. So he paused slightly and said coldly, "You used this method to force me out just to say that?"
"I also have something to tell you."
"..."
The Meng family member was slightly taken aback and quickly said, "What is it?"
Hu Ma took a deep breath and shouted, "Leave Mingzhou Prefecture immediately and never come back!"
This shout carried the resentment he had built up over the past few days. If not for his insufficient Daoist power and Senior Old Tree Stump's reluctance to help, Hu Ma would have already thought of keeping this Meng family member and cutting off his head.
However, even though he shouted, he still felt uncertain and worried that it might not deter him. To his surprise, the Meng family member just sighed softly.
"I will leave after delivering this message."
He said calmly, bowing to Hu Ma again. Hu Ma didn't know if this was genuine courtesy or some hidden move. However, with Senior Old Tree Stump protecting him, he wasn't afraid.
He heard the Meng family member lower his tone and say, "World Brother, there's no need to get so angry. I only hope you understand that the issues between the Hu and Meng families are minor."
"But the matters decided at the Stone Pavilion cannot be ignored just because of a momentary impulse..."
"
"..."
"Wasn't the agreement at the Stone Pavilion a pact? Is there something else?"
"
Hu Ma was curious but knew he couldn't delay. The Meng family member was powerful and had many means. While he appeared safe, there was no guarantee that the other party didn't have a way to see through him. He immediately shouted, "When has it ever been the Hu family's decision for you to interfere?"
(End of Chapter)"Get out!"
"......"
"You......"
The small, golden man, who had been scolded twice, was visibly struggling to hold back his anger.
He had come to deliver a message and had tried to be polite, but being scolded once could be ignored, being scolded twice was harder to bear.
In this regard, he was no match for Zheng Xiangzhu, who had been scolded by Hu Ma and Yang Gong, but had remained calm and composed.
Although he was struggling to control his anger, he decided to endure it, seeing that Hu Ma was unwilling to communicate and had already delivered the message.
Just as he was about to leave, Hu Ma suddenly spoke up, his voice low and menacing: "Wait."
The small golden man was taken aback and turned back to face Hu Ma, or rather, the furnace: "Brother......"
Hu Ma asked, "What's your name?"
The golden man's face changed slightly, and he replied indifferently, "I am a member of the Meng family, and I came with good intentions. You don't need to ask my name, brother......"
"It's just a messenger, no need to ask for a name."
Hu Ma's voice was cold and menacing: "But since you're causing trouble in the entire prefecture, harming countless people, I need to know your name to find out who to hold accountable."
"You......"
The golden man was startled, and his face turned pale. He spoke in a low voice, "It's the Qing Yi evil spirit's doing, and it's the Red Lamp's shopkeeper who's behind it. I'm not involved......"
"This kid's got some nerve......"
Hu Ma understood a lot from this and his tone became even more menacing: "Whether or not you're involved, you know the truth. Now, I just want you to tell me your name."
The golden man's face changed dramatically, and he suddenly said, "The message has been delivered, farewell!"
As he spoke, he transformed into a golden light and seemed to disappear into the wind, as if the law platform that could trap the Qing Yi evil spirit was no obstacle to him.
"Do you think you can just leave my law platform?"
At the same time, Hu Ma's voice was cold and menacing, and the law platform in front of him suddenly erupted in a fierce wind: "Bring him back!"
At the same time, the old tree stump seemed to be watching Hu Ma with a hint of admiration, and the golden man, who had been about to leave, suddenly collided with something and became disoriented, circling around the law platform.
The golden man was shocked and suddenly shouted: "Brother, the ten surnames have the Shi Ting Alliance, do you really want to kill me?"
Hu Ma heard the panic in his voice and felt more at ease.
Initially, he had only wanted to drive the golden man away, after all, he was a member of the Meng family, a existence that the small shopkeeper of the Red Lamp couldn't even hope to reach. If he could scare him away, that would be great.
Normally, he wouldn't even be noticed if he went to pay his respects.
But now, since the golden man had come to talk to him and had interfered with the Qing Yi evil spirit, he had already entered Hu Ma's law platform.
And since the law platform had the old tree stump to guard it, how could he just leave?
As for the Shi Ting Alliance, Hu Ma didn't know what it entailed, but he followed the golden man's words and replied coldly: "The ten surnames have the Shi Ting Alliance, but what does that have to do with you?"
"......"
"Ah?"
The golden man, or rather the Meng family member, was startled and realized that Hu Ma had seen through him: "He knows I'm not a member of the Meng family?"
He had been confident and calm, thinking he had arranged everything perfectly, but now he was shocked, as if his mask had been ripped off.
His courage faltered, and he desperately tried to escape, but the law platform's black clothes fluttered, and the sound of iron chains echoed, binding him down.
The golden man seemed to lose control, knelt down, and said: "My name is Meng Si Zhong, I live in the blind man's ridge of the stove mountain, my birthdate......"
But as he spoke, the golden man suddenly burst into flames, scattering sparks everywhere.
Normally, even if only a wisp of his soul was trapped in the law platform, he would have to answer truthfully, but now the golden man's explosion seemed to indicate that the Meng family had used some means to sever the connection, showing that their abilities were not to be underestimated.
Hu Ma's heart skipped a beat as he realized that the Meng family was not to be trifled with, but he remembered the
