Chapter 470: The No Beef Demon People

In an instant, the eerie howls of evil spirits and the swirling Yin Wind in Stone Horse Town vanished, leaving an eerie silence.

Countless townspeople stood in awe as they witnessed the sudden appearance of actors, performers, and beggars, each revealing their divine despair. Unaware of what was happening, they thought it was part of the Lantern Festival Fair, and some even cheered.

The various factions from the jianghu, who had been under immense pressure, felt it lift as these extraordinary individuals emerged. However, some were still in shock.

Only a few with exceptional abilities rushed to the windows, recognizing a few faces they had seen before and revered as deities. Their hearts nearly stopped, and their legs felt weak.

"It's them..."

"They're really here...all of them?"

"..."

"Huh?"

The most astonished person in the entire town was undoubtedly Miao Shan Fairy, who was guarding ten large vats beside the main hall of the One Coin Sect.

She had only hoped for a smooth Lantern Festival Fair and had been doing her utmost to ensure it. However, there were too many factors affecting the fair, none of which she could handle.

Just a moment ago, she had heard the wailing of evil spirits and saw the ten vats in front of her crack open, with their contents crawling out. But suddenly, the mist and clouds dispersed, and everything became calm.

What just happened? Her mind was filled with countless questions and vague guesses. Trembling, she turned her gaze towards the white fan.

The white fan was also trembling, shaking vigorously, as if trying to fan the outside noises into her ears. As he confirmed something, his entire body began to shudder.

He quickly threw the bundle he was holding into the nearby flower bed and turned around, excitedly saying to Miao Shan Fairy, "They're here, they're here...it's..."

"It's the No Beef disciples! They've all come..."

"..."

"Them?"

Miao Shan Fairy took a deep breath, her chest heaving with intense surprise. Her face couldn't contain the earlier joy, but suddenly, she frowned, feeling wronged:

"A bunch of tricksters! They...they came earlier but hid, watching me being bullied..."

"..."

Amidst the joy and complaints, she suddenly remembered something: "That's not right. The little ghosts we sent to deliver messages were all intercepted. How did they get the message?"

"Little Junior Sister..."

Just then, a faint sigh echoed behind her, and a hunched figure appeared, saying, "You're confused..."

"The destined one has appeared, and the position of the Grandmaster is secured. Why didn't you tell us about such a significant event?"

"..."

"..."

"Huff..."

Outside the town, Hu Ma watched as one by one, figures approached and bowed before him. He let out a soft sigh, his mind filled with doubts that suddenly cleared in this moment:

"These are the disciples of No Beef?"

"The townspeople were incited by them to come to this town?"

"..."

There were already many things he couldn't understand...

For instance, why was Miao Shan Fairy, with just a pretty face, in charge of the One Coin Sect in Stone Horse Town when No Beef was causing rebellions everywhere?

Did No Beef really trust her, a pure-hearted person, to handle such a significant matter alone?

The movements of Iron Horse, the New Year Hall Official, were of utmost importance to the jianghu. His quiet arrival in Stone Horse Town seemed odd, as No Beef claimed to have numerous disciples and great abilities. How could no one have received any news?

Most crucially, with a disaster looming over Stone Horse Town, why had so many townspeople rushed here? It would be strange if no one had incited them.

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, he looked at the No Beef disciples bowing before him, their chests pressed in salute. His face remained unchanged, and he didn't acknowledge their greetings.

Instead, he frowned and said coldly, "This is your matter, and the Lantern Festival Fair is your concern."

"With a formidable enemy at our doorstep, lives hanging in the balance, you hide while I, an outsider, fight against such formidable foes. What does this mean?"

"..."

These sudden accusations startled the No Beef disciples surrounding him, making them hesitate with embarrassment.

"Senior Brother, you..."

At that moment, inside the main hall, Miao Shan Fairy turned and saw a hunched man wearing a straw hat standing behind her, like an old farmer. Overjoyed, she exclaimed, "You...when did you arrive?"

"This morning, or rather, last night when our Grandmaster subdued the Dark General."

"As the elder saw the surprise on Miao Shan Fairy's face, he chuckled softly and said, 'When someone passes through the Three Gates Twelve Stages, the destined Grandmaster appears. All the secret paths in our Ghost Cave have been sealed, so how could we not sense it?'

'Ah, you...'

Miao Shan Fairy's joy turned into a look of grievance, 'You came so early, but didn't show yourself. You just wanted to scare us?'

'We had no choice. We needed to see for ourselves.'

The elder expressed his apology with a smile, 'Among us No Beef Sects, there are many eccentric individuals, each with their own pride. Not many would submit to me, let alone to an outsider who has passed the Three Gates Twelve Stages and become the Grandmaster.'

'...'

Miao Shan Fairy was taken aback and said, 'He not only passed the Three Gates Twelve Stages, but he has also cultivated the Great Heavenly General Seal...'

'...I, for one, immediately submitted.'

'...'

The elder looked at her and smiled, 'You're different. You're my junior sister.'

'But it's reasonable for others to be unconvinced. No one wants to bow to a Grandmaster whose background they don't know, let alone entrust the sect's important matters to him. So, we all decided to observe him.'

'...'

Miao Shan Fairy hurriedly asked, 'Then what...what are you looking for?'

'We're here to observe the Lantern Festival Fair.'

The elder sighed softly and looked at the commoners on the street outside, his voice carrying a hint of melancholy, 'You didn't really have a chance to begin with. That person is an outsider, and even if he gives up this fair and leaves, it's no big deal. But the lives of the townspeople...'

'Hehe, it's easy to be a person who doesn't kill innocents indiscriminately, but how many would risk their lives and fortunes for unrelated commoners?'

'...'

'So...'

Miao Shan Fairy, despite her clarity, now understood her senior brother's intention, and her voice trembled, 'Senior brother, what...what do you think of the outcome?'

'It was clear from the moment he rode his horse and wielded his blade, slaying the Grass Head Eight Decay God and protecting the commoners.'

The elder also sighed softly, his gaze turning towards the direction outside the town, and his words seemed to carry a weight, 'It's absolutely certain. He is the Grandmaster of the No Beef Sect.'

'Regardless of his abilities or identity, from this moment on, he is the Grandmaster of the No Beef Sect...'

'The disciples of the No Beef Sect have faithfully followed the teachings of the wise master, enduring twenty years of hardship, waiting for the world to descend into chaos, for evil to flourish, and for the Ten Surnames to reach their breaking point. Finally, at this moment, we have waited for the heavens to deliver our Grandmaster...'

'...'

Listening to his words, the person with the white fan was stunned, while Miao Shan Fairy was overjoyed, her mind spinning with joy. Amidst her surprise, she didn't forget to say, 'No, that's not right...'

'This Grandmaster wasn't sent by the heavens, it was...'

She straightened her chest with determination, 'I chose him from the crowd...'

'...'

'...'

'Grandmaster...'

Outside the town, after receiving the greetings of so many people, Hu Ma showed no sign of pleasure. His first words were a stern question.

He could guess why they had rallied so many commoners here and why they had waited until now to reveal themselves. But how could he not show his displeasure?

After his interrogation, he waited for their response, but he didn't expect that as he questioned them, their faces also showed signs of difficulty. Then, someone sighed deeply and suddenly said, 'You're right, Grandmaster...'

Then, he heard them speaking over each other, 'There's no problem, Grandmaster. This is all the fault of our senior brother...'

'That old man is harboring evil intentions and disrespecting the Grandmaster. Clearly, the Grandmaster passing the Three Gates Twelve Stages and cultivating the Great Heavenly General Seal is a sign of destiny. He is the destined leader of the No Beef Sect...'

'Others may not know, but I submit. If the Grandmaster says east, I'll never go west. But that old man, our senior brother, he doesn't believe. He doubts the Grandmaster and wants to test him this way...'

'Grandmaster, if you say the word, I'll bring that old man here and cut him into three pieces to vent your anger...'

'...'

'Huh?'

Hu Ma was a bit surprised, as this reaction was not what he had expected.

'Cut him into four pieces...'

He even heard someone shouting louder, 'Questioning the Grandmaster is questioning the No Beef Sect. Kick that old man out of the sect...'

'Kill the senior brother and tie up Miao Shan junior sister to deliver her to the Grandmaster's bed. I'm even willing to guard the door for the Grandmaster...'

'What are you babbling about? Miao Shan junior sister's fate has been calculated, and it's priceless. She may not be an empress, but she's at least a first-rank official. There's no need to tie her up; she'll climb into his bed herself...'

'...'

Hearing this group suddenly arguing and accusing each other, they fell into chaos, and one of them even wanted to take immediate action. Hu Ma felt a sudden headache, 'Stop, stop, stop...'

The disciples of the No Beef Sect were shameless, disrupting his emotions...
