Chapter 332: Vision and Ambitions (Part One)
Chapter 332: Vision and Ambitions (Part One)
On the first day of the Five Sins Envoy's arrival in Bright State Prefecture, they selected a ritual site, sealed treasures, and created malevolence with great ease.
On the second day, the Five Sins Envoy observed the rise of malevolence and clapped in celebration.
On the third night, a passing ghost stumbled upon the Life Malevolence Altar and was fried in an oil pot, becoming a Malefic Seed. The Life Malevolence Altar Keeper went on a nightly ghost hunt but disappeared without a trace, their fate unknown.
On the fourth day at noon, the Longevity Malevolence Altar Keeper, while attempting to steal the Grass Heart Hall's treasure, the Life Fishing Flask, engaged in a battle with the Master Hand Young Master of Grass Heart Hall and was killed. Grass Heart Hall was shaken, unable to bear the insult, and declared they would seek clarification from the Speak Reason Hall.
On the fourth night, the Wealth Malevolence Altar Keeper clashed with the Left Guardian of the Red Lantern Society. They summoned the Red Lantern Lady, issued a Martial World Decree, and ordered the capture of the Treasure Sealing Demon.
On the fifth night, the Prosperity Malevolence Altar Keeper performed a blood sacrifice of three villages' residents, creating a Malevolent Land. Bright State Prefecture was shaken, and many Martial World individuals spontaneously organized to capture this evildoer. However, the Prosperity Malevolence Altar Keeper's whereabouts remained unknown, and not even a strand of hair could be found.
On the sixth day, a secret message was delivered to the Plum Blossom Alley, and after a long silence, an angry roar echoed: "What nonsense is this?"
Old Master Mei, upon receiving the various messages, was stunned: "The Five Sins Envoys have few rivals in the entire Bright State Prefecture, yet now some are dead, some missing, and others are being hunted like dogs?"
"The Martial World individuals in Bright State Prefecture are so spirited? How did I not know about this before?"
"..."
"The Five Sins Envoys are too arrogant..."
By his side, the third disciple, Yan Surname Mage, who had helped gather information, spoke up: "I've confirmed the news about Grass Heart Hall."
"They were originally going to collect medicinal ingredients, but they encountered the Longevity Malevolence Envoy, who was seizing longevity and creating malevolence. Grass Heart Hall didn't dare provoke them and prepared to retreat, but the Longevity Malevolence Envoy insisted on taking their treasure, which led to the fight."
"Clear-eyed people know that Grass Heart Hall must have sensed the Longevity Malevolence Envoy's trail and feared that their medicinal ingredient source would be destroyed, so they went to take a look. Coincidentally, that village had been targeted by the Five Sins Divine Hand's people."
"Out of respect for the Five Sins Lord, Grass Heart Hall endured the loss of the medicinal ingredients, but when the Longevity Malevolence Envoy tried to seize their Life Fishing Flask, how could they tolerate it?"
"Those physicians are skilled at saving lives, but they're also adept at taking them..."
"..."
As he spoke, he sighed and said, "As for the Red Lantern Lady, it's even harder to explain. You set up your altar, and then you steal others' blood food and bewitch their Left Guardian."
"The Red Lantern Lady not only refused to release the captive but also demanded that the captive serve her in bed..."
"Even if she was once a Little Malevolent Spirit, the Red Lantern Lady has now established her temple. With so many people witnessing such an insult, how could she not be enraged?"
"Of course, the most pressing matter is the Five Sins Envoy's blood sacrifice of three villages, taking the lives of over three hundred people. It filled the Blood Pool in an instant. In the entire Bright State Prefecture, it's been many years since such an evil deed occurred."
"After receiving the Red Lantern Society's message, many Martial World individuals secretly agreed."
"But after the blood sacrifice incident, many couldn't sit idly by, and even here, the pressure is not small. They ask why we don't take action..."
"..."
"I underestimated the Five Sins Deity's ferocity."
Even Old Master Mei sighed softly and said, "I thought that with his people here, they would only seal treasures and create malevolence, harming a few people, but I didn't expect them to be so brazen. Who would've thought that his people would go so mad?"
Yan Surname Mage, listening with concern, asked, "And now...?"
Old Master Mei sighed, with a hint of cold laughter, "Haha, now we'll have to see how far the Nobleman hiding in Bright State Prefecture wants to take this matter."
Yan Surname Mage was startled, "That Nobleman?"
Old Master Mei nodded lightly, "These things may seem coincidental, but there's always a reason behind them. I don't believe in such coincidences. It's likely that the Nobleman is secretly intervening, and someone of his caliber won't leave any trace of his actions."
As Yan Surname Mage listened, he became more moved, whispering, "That Nobleman hasn't even shown his face, yet the Five Sins Envoys are dead or missing, and their altars and spells are in disarray. What about the previous matter...?"
"The situation has now reached a critical point."
Old Master Mei's expression turned slightly grim, and he said softly, "The outcome depends on his abilities."
"Hmm?"
Hearing the change in Old Master Mei's tone, Yan Surname Mage was taken aback. Without even showing his face, this Nobleman had already diminished the Five Sins Envoys' might. Wasn't this ability impressive enough?
"Hehe..."
But at this moment, Old Master Mei coldly laughed, "With the Nobleman's status and his ability to sentence the Green-Clad Evil Ghost with a single word, eliminating the Five Sins Envoys is a simple task. Even if he does it flawlessly, there's nothing to boast about."
"But if he truly believes that he's only borrowing the hands of the Martial World individuals to deal with the Five Sins Envoys and nothing more..."
After a slight pause, he spoke with a cold expression, "At most, it's just a Martial World-level scheme. With the current situation, he may not be able to see the bigger picture..."
...
...
"It seems that the assistance of the Reincarnates is indeed necessary for getting things done..."
On the other side, Hu Ma, after dealing with the Life Malevolence Altar Keeper, was also keeping an eye on the good news from various sources. Upon hearing about the Five Sins Envoys' plight, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The five Incense Offering Lords under the Five SorrowsDeity, each possessing unique treasures for protection, had their prestige shattered by the people of Bright State Prefecture within a mere few days, a feat so astonishing that it would be hard to believe if told.
If not for the methods of the Reincarnate, it would have been difficult to deal with them one by one, and who knows how long it would have taken.
There was even the possibility of failure, of stumbling and falling.
But now, the Five Sins Altar Master had come to establish the altar and create malevolence, clearly intending to provoke. Yet, in less than seven days, the altar was destroyed and its master perished. With this, the task entrusted by the Mountain Lord could be considered accomplished.
The Five SorrowsDeity's plan to descend upon Bright State with the power of the Five Sins Altar had failed.
Regarding those who contributed to this outcome, White Wine Miss was the most capable, acting swiftly and decisively. Second Pot Brother was a master of empty slogans, shaking the Martial World of Bright State with his loud proclamations. However, the Wealth Malevolence Altar Master he was targeting had yet to be captured.
Of course, the altar had been thoroughly destroyed, so it could be considered a success, even if they hadn't taken the lives of the Incense Offering Lords under the Five SorrowsDeity.
But if one were to truly discuss who contributed the most, it was Sweet Potato Liquor.
This little miss was truly...
...fierce enough!
Although, on the night she completed this task, she explained that the three villages were all bandit villages, where the men had taken lives and the women helped manage the captives, dividing the silver and feeding the pigs with the ground bones.
After she spread the word, they came, and she took the opportunity to fill the Blood Pool, saving countless travelers. Even so, it left the other three silent for a moment, unsure of what to say.
They vaguely thought that perhaps her leg should remain crippled...
It must be acknowledged that if not for her grand scheme, the current manhunt for the Five Sins Altar Master by the Martial World of Bright State would not have reached this level.
The initial goal had been achieved, but why did it still feel unsettling, as if something had been overlooked?
"Little Red Hall, what did Seventh Aunt say?"
Hu Ma pondered silently for a long time before calling over Little Red Hall, who was nearby, and asked quietly.
Little Red Hall, with two Blood Feast Pills in her mouth, her cheeks puffed out, replied, "Seventh Aunt said that over at Yellow Dog Village, they've set up a feast, and she's waiting there to eat. But for some reason, the tables and chairs are set up, but there's no food..."
"Setting up a feast, what are they planning?"
Hu Ma silently pondered, destroying the Five Sins Altar and its master was just the first step.
The real climax would still depend on the Five SorrowsDeity, but even the Mountain Lord couldn't quite grasp its true intentions, unsure if it would still come after the destruction of the altar.
But it seemed that they were indeed coming.
The Five Sins Altar Masters had each wreaked havoc in different places, but Green Stone Town was the center of the Five Sins Altar, corresponding to the five altars.
It could be confirmed that this was where the Five SorrowsDeity would descend.
However, unlike the other five places, there was no altar creation or malevolence, no Spirit Treasure, and the Wei Family hadn't done anything unusual. They had simply set up tables and chairs and sent out invitations, claiming they would hold a celebration in seven days.
What kind of celebration was he planning?
Seventh Aunt had been keeping watch there this whole time, and she would surely be the first to know if anything happened.
But now, with most of the Five Sins Altar Masters dead, there was still no reaction from that place. They were free to do as they pleased, but what was their plan?
No, something wasn't right.
Hu Ma carefully reviewed the information he had gathered and seemed to grasp something. Slowly, he turned to the meat vendor leaning against the haystack beside him and looked at him with a half-smile. "So, your master doesn't actually value the lives of your family?"
The captured Malevolent Fate Altar Keeper was a defiant man. When he noticed Hu Ma's gaze, his face turned fierce, and he shouted, "Since you've captured me, kill me if you must, or do as you please!"
"We are incense burners for the Five Sins Lord, how could we fear death?"
"..."
"If your eyes didn't dart around and your voice didn't tremble when you spoke, I might have believed you were truly fearless..."
Hu Ma smiled at him and said, "But I will kill you, just not yet. I have some questions for you. Answer honestly, and I'll give you a quick death. How does that sound?"
"What?"
The man was stunned. He had been in the Martial World for a while, and such negotiations were unheard of.
But before he could say anything, Hu Ma continued, "Yes, you probably don't know how I bound you. Otherwise, you wouldn't have tried to struggle."
"It's called a Shackling Spell, from the New Year Scroll."
