Chapter 483: Dwelling in Fate (Part 1)
"The Meng Clan's greatest skill is bowing their heads..."
As the Second Young Master Meng prostrated himself, the loan military order burned, and Hu Ma also felt an indescribable pressure.
On the left, a mountain split open, accompanied by a deafening roar, and rows upon rows of Yin soldiers with yellow talismans on their faces emerged from underground. Their killing intent was overwhelming, creating a terrifying and eerie atmosphere. The dense killing aura seemed to transform into a substantial flood.
In the face of this overwhelming Yin energy, Stone Horse Town appeared minuscule, and the scattered lights in the town now looked like paper lanterns.
But for Hu Ma, the most terrifying sight was none other than the Second Young Master Meng bowing before him.
He seemed to have turned into a withered human skin, but suddenly, as if filled by an invisible wind, he slowly straightened his body, still facing away from Hu Ma. However, the feeling he gave off was completely different from before.
He was slowly crawling up from the ground, but his body emitted a mysterious aura. Countless illusions appeared before Hu Ma's eyes, and he seemed to see a bizarre existence squirming in a distant space.
It was almost impossible to discern the size of its body, but it seemed to be an obese old man wearing a Hundred Blessings Robe. One could sense its presence, but it was difficult to perceive clearly.
All that could be seen was its endless corpulence, with flesh and blood pressing together. The Hundred Blessings Robe was made up of the character 'Shou' (longevity) and copper coin patterns, but those coins were actually human faces, squinting and grimacing.
In Hu Ma's vision, a thousand faces floated on the surface of the flesh, and a thousand mouths whispered in his ears.
The immense pressure made his heart pound painfully, as if all his blood was being squeezed out and forced into his brain.
Stranger still, he couldn't understand why, upon sensing the presence summoned by the Second Young Master Meng, he felt an inexplicable hatred welling up inside him. He clenched his teeth, feeling helpless and resentful.
Why, when he had only just encountered this thing for the first time, did he hate it so much? This hatred even overshadowed his innate fear.
"Sizzle!"
At that moment, Hu Ma's left arm suddenly felt a sharp pain, and even his soul trembled. The thing that had been sealed and struck within his left arm now burst forth with a strong yearning.
It had never been as desperate as it was now, struggling and crying out. Hu Ma could vaguely sense it shouting, "Old Ancestor... Your child pays respects to the Old Ancestor..."
"Old Ancestor, save me... The Hu Family didn't listen to the Old Ancestor's words. The Hu Family has betrayed..."
"..."
"Hmm?"
The sudden, intense pain jolted Hu Ma out of his daze, and he clenched his teeth, suppressing the thing in his left arm.
This moment of clarity made him realize that the thing in his left arm had sensed the aura on the Meng Clan's young master, and the two seemed to share a common origin. That was why it was so eager to escape.
More importantly, what was it shouting about? Something about the Hu Family not listening to the Old Ancestor and betraying something...
At this moment, he couldn't quite understand it, but he felt that it was related to some secret matter, something that "he" hadn't discovered yet, but this thing already knew.
Not to mention, this thing had overheard his conversation with the Great Red Robe, so he couldn't let it escape.
...
...
"Turtle Head Grandson, it's been three pillar incenses. You won't make it to the town alive..."
"Turtle Head Grandson, you've lost. Why don't you dismount and bow your head?"
"Short-Legged Chamberlain, you..."
"Damn it, can't we stick to one name?"
"It's better to focus on one target. Let's all call him Turtle Head Grandson, and when this nickname spreads throughout the Wulin world, see how he'll face others!"
"..."
At the moment this strange change occurred, in front of Stone Horse Town, Iron Horse Magistrate, astride a tiger-skinned horse, was engaged in a fierce battle with the No Beef Sect disciples, displaying his valiant might.
On his way to Stone Horse Town, he had encountered countless strange techniques and demons blocking his path.
However, he simply waved the large knife in his hand, easily dispatching them. Only a mere three to five opponents could withstand a few exchanges with him, and even they had to retreat after a short while, or else face the merciless blade.
In the end, when he reached Stone Horse Town, it was the puppet show master, Jin Chenzi, who stepped forward to challenge him. The two engaged in a fierce battle, rolling and tumbling, exchanging dozens of moves.
The No Beef Sect disciples watched anxiously, their mouths spewing endless profanities, piercing the hearts of those around them. But the Iron Horse Magistrate clenched his teeth, ignoring the disturbing words, though they kept ringing in his ears.
He forced himself to ignore the barking dogs, but his anger only grew heavier, and his blade became increasingly ferocious. He urged his tiger-skinned horse forward, charging straight towards the town.
No matter what these demons said, he was determined to enter the town, slash the divine platform, and see how these demons would deal with the situation.
"Not good..."
At this moment, seeing the magistrate's genuine fury, his divine might unleashed, and his momentum unstoppable, he was truly about to charge into the town. The No Beef Sect disciples were all shocked.
"Crack..."
In that instant, they also heard a deafening sound, shaking the ground beneath their feet. The sky above was filled with dark clouds, and a cold wind blew, as if they had entered the netherworld.
The Iron Horse Magistrate and the puppet show master, who had just been engaged in an intense battle, were also startled. They quickly reacted, and the No Beef Sect disciples, forgetting their insults, hurriedly looked towards the source of the noise, their faces filled with uncertainty.
In their eyes, they saw that in the gloomy night, muffled thunder rumbled, and flickering ghostly flames appeared in the depths of the mountains. A row of shadow soldiers with yellow talismans on their faces advanced heavily from the mountains towards Stone Horse Town.
As they approached, the air seemed to thicken, oppressing and suffocating.
The trees blocking their path to Stone Horse Town swayed and parted to the sides, and the rugged mountain road seemed to be flattened by an invisible force, suddenly becoming smooth.
Throughout the forest, malevolent spirits trembled and scrambled back into their graves.
"Shadow soldiers crossing the border?"
The No Beef Sect disciples froze in shock. After a while, someone regained their senses and jumped up, shouting at the Iron Horse Magistrate, "You good-for-nothing! What have you done?"
"We, the No Beef Sect disciples, were trying to uphold the principles of the martial world, treating you with courtesy and respect, to avoid casualties. We were going to engage in a fair fight, relying on our skills to face the New Year Watch. But you, Turtle Head Grandson, what have you done in secret?"
"..."
Facing the crowd's scolding, even the Iron Horse Magistrate was slightly taken aback and exclaimed, "I don't know either."
In his panic, he quickly looked around and suddenly thought of the Meng Family Son. He was startled, "Could it be that heir again?"
...
...
"Senior Brother, what is that...?"
Inside Stone Horse Town, in the main mansion under the ancient elm tree, Miao Shan Fairy shivered and asked in a trembling voice.
The old farmer beside her, with his hands behind his back, slowly looked outside and said, "It's the undying skeleton, the malevolent spirit that has stolen fate. Because of it, our No Beef Sect has had many extraordinary people for twenty years, but we haven't been able to stretch our legs."
"But for these twenty years, we've been preparing, and the Ten Surnames haven't been idle either. No wonder they've been pressuring that person from Bright Province so fiercely..."
"I suppose that once they convince the Hu Family, that thing that even our master and uncles feared will return?"
"..."
Miao Shan Fairy shuddered and whispered, looking at the old man, "Senior Brother, I don't understand what you're saying..."
"But I'm a little scared..."
"..."
"There's no need to be afraid."
The senior brother smiled and looked up at the elm tree, where a seal was hanging. "For twenty years, we've been hiding and preparing, perhaps not as thoroughly as them, and we don't have that malevolent spirit watching over us."
"But these twenty years of peace didn't come easily. We all needed this time. They're waiting for the Hu Family's decision, and we're waiting for the return of the No Beef Sect leader..."
"It seems we were the first to wait, right?"
"..."
"It's too early."
In a coffin shop within the town, the old abacus who had followed Hu Ma to Stone Horse Town opened a coffin, laid a mattress inside, and placed a jar of wine within.
After some thought, he went to the deserted kitchen, brought two plates of food, and then took a pillow, returning to the coffin. He adjusted it, preparing to lie down.
A donkey head pushed the window open with all its might, sticking its head in to look.
"Go away, find somewhere else to hide..."
The old abacus half-sat in the coffin, pulling the lid to close himself in.
But the donkey panicked and jumped through the window, knocking the coffin over with its head, and stomping its hooves wildly. The old abacus was almost driven to tears, "What do you want from me? Go find that guy outside, find those lunatics..."
"The trouble caused is so big, let's see how he resolves it. The thing the Meng Family worships is not something mortals can deal with..."
