Chapter 515: The Might of Red Lantern Lady
Red Tang Jie, she's truly capable...
Looking at this originally empty warehouse, within half a night, ten large jars appeared, and two of them were even stacked on top of each other.
Hu Ma couldn't help but feel impressed, and when he asked himself, he thought that even if he had gone to that distant place and carried back these large jars, his body would have struggled to bear the weight.
"Quick, lock the door!"
After pulling off such a grand feat, Little Red Tang was clearly delighted. Remembering Hu Ma's words about keeping their blood essence hidden from others, she urged him to quickly close the door. She then climbed up from the ground, stretched out her small hand, and said, "Give me the Blood Nourishing Pills!"
"..."
"I'll... definitely give them to you!"
Hu Ma glanced at the ten large jars leaning against the wall next to him, took a deep breath, and compared to these jars, Little Red Tang's slender and petite figure seemed mysterious for a moment.
When Mother-in-Law left, she entrusted Little Red Tang to Hu Ma, but she didn't mention that she was leaving behind a formidable warrior...
...Why was she fighting with infant spirits and ghosts before?
Although he still had doubts, when he looked at Red Tang Jie again, he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. A line of words appeared in his mind: "Red Tang Jie, naturally clever, soft and adorable, not yet three feet tall, with arms that possess the strength of a thousand pounds..."
...
...
As Hu Ma was immersed in awe in Qing Shitou Town, the area around the Blood Essence Warehouse was in chaos. The Scarlet Lantern Society and the Truth Sect fought fiercely, and the left protector, Shen Hong Zhi, was infuriated by the Truth Sect's surprise attack.
Wielding a chain whip, she fiercely drove back two altar masters of the Truth Sect, guarding the Blood Essence Warehouse and not allowing the Truth Sect members to get close.
The two altar masters who came to support from the Truth Sect were initially hesitant, and due to prior strict orders, they hadn't planned to be too harsh on the Scarlet Lantern Society members.
However, when they discovered that over ten of their own followers had mysteriously lost their lives in the chaos, and the Scarlet Lantern Society members were fighting with increasing ferocity, showing no mercy, they truly became enraged.
They had never taken this small Blood Feast Gang seriously, but now the Scarlet Lantern Society was being ungrateful. So, they also fought with full force, killing several members of the Scarlet Lantern Society in the blink of an eye to intimidate them and prevent the situation from escalating.
But it was already late at night, and in the darkness, they couldn't see clearly. If they had been harsh from the start, displaying their skills and crushing the morale of the Scarlet Lantern Society members, it might have been better.
However, their initial tolerance had emboldened the Scarlet Lantern Society members. When they later fought fiercely, it was already difficult to achieve the desired effect. The back and forth only intensified the battle.
This battle was indeed dangerous for both sides. Aside from someone who was incredibly bold and fearless, limping but still hiding in the crowd and scattering spirit money to buy his life, the others were clearly outmatched by the Truth Sect followers.
After all, strictly speaking, the Scarlet Lantern Society was just a gang in the jianghu, not on the same level as the Truth Sect. If the Truth Sect didn't take it seriously, it was one thing, but once they did, they displayed astonishing skills.
There weren't many members of the Scarlet Lantern Society who dared to fight against this left protector, and at this rate, half of them might perish here.
However, as the chaos unfolded, the commotion quickly spread, frightening countless people.
"They're fighting?"
The people in the Mingzhou Prefecture area were shocked to realize that a fight had broken out. Their first reaction was one of surprise: "Where did the Scarlet Lantern Society find the courage to fight against the Heaven's Will General, who has powerful backing?"
"No, this is just a newly established small cult..."
"..."
Some were also surprised by the Truth Sect's actions, but their hearts were filled with worry: "Oh no, what is the Truth Sect thinking?"
"When they first arrived, they said they wouldn't use force here and would follow the rules. Now that both sides are interacting peacefully, why did they suddenly start fighting without any warning?"
"We're all putting our lives and fortunes in your hands. How can we trust you after you've broken your word?"
"..."
For a moment, various suspicions and doubts filled people's minds, making it hard to discern the situation. They felt a heavy pressure in their hearts, layer upon layer.
Just as the chaos reached its peak and many lives were lost on both sides, a distant, deep drumbeat echoed from the direction of Mingzhou Capital, its powerful sound dispelling the night's eerie atmosphere.
In the distance, a group of dark figures could be seen marching out from Mingzhou Capital, heading towards the battlefield.
At the same time, people were also quickly approaching from the direction of Red Gate Town, carrying a red lantern high above their heads, which stood out in the night, though it lacked the grandeur of the drumbeat.
"The Heaven's Will General has arrived..."
"Red Lantern Lady, Red Lantern Lady has come to support us..."
"..."
With the arrival of these two groups, the chaotic crowd immediately became alert. Those hiding in the city or observing from nearby villages held their breaths in anticipation.
Could it be that after enduring for so long, the Scarlet Lantern Society and the Truth Sect were finally going to reveal their true intentions on this very night?
Amidst the concern, both sides rapidly approached the location of the Blood Feast Warehouse. From the direction of Red Gate Town, there were about a dozen Incense Burners riding tall horses, with the leader carrying a red lantern on a pole.
However, from the direction of Mingzhou Capital, there were over a hundred people.
Leading them was a tall, imposing man in a brocade robe, with an aura of authority. He rode on the back of a red-haired, flame-like ox, a sword at his waist.
Beside him were four Altar Masters holding green flags, two Guardians in crimson cloaks, armored guards with silver armor and bows, and a group of wealthy gentlemen from Mingzhou Capital who had come to witness the commotion, their heads lowered.
Among them were even a few officials from the Mingzhou government, clearly identifiable by their official robes.
As they approached the chaotic scene, about twenty zhang away, the Heaven's Will General noticed the intense fighting, with blood splattering like a gourd. His face revealed a hint of displeasure.
"General, please don't be angry."
Seeing this, one of the Altar Masters by his side stepped forward, saying, "I request your permission to take my men and eliminate these unruly Blood Feast Gang bandits who don't know their place!"
"Don't cause trouble."
The Heaven's Will General slowly exhaled, raising his hand to stop him. Then, he calmly surveyed the chaotic scene, and his red-haired flame ox slowly moved forward a few steps. He slowly raised his hands and said with a bow, "Gentlemen, friends of the Scarlet Lantern Society, let's treat each other with respect and discuss matters amicably. There's no need to let a misunderstanding ruin our harmony."
"..."
His words were spoken with conviction and sincerity.
However, as he spoke, dark clouds seemed to gather in the sky behind him, casting the entire night in darkness. A powerful gust of wind blew from behind him, sweeping across the battlefield.
At the edge of the Blood Feast Warehouse, the Year Guardians clashed with knives, and among them were those with supernatural skills or using magical treasures, creating a dazzling display of spiritual energy and eerie auras, making it difficult to distinguish between them.
But as the gust of wind blew, the hundred or so people in the field simultaneously felt an overwhelming pressure, as if a mountain had been placed upon their heads.
The Year Guardians felt the Yin Wind permeate their bodies, and the fiery intent within them seemed to be doused by cold water, instantly extinguishing their passion and courage. They were filled with an intangible sense of reverence and dared not even breathe.
The spells they were casting and the magical treasures flying in the air were also affected by the wind, their spiritual energy dimming as they fell to the ground like stones.
The Sweet Potato Burn, who was waiting for an opportunity to buy his life, suddenly paled as he saw the paper money he had scattered fluttering like butterflies in the night sky, now heavy and falling to the ground with a clatter.
The battlefield, which had been noisy and intense, suddenly became dark and quiet. The fighters, unsettled and pale, dropped their weapons.
Even the Incense Burners from Red Gate Town, who had come with red lanterns, raised their sleeves to cover their faces. The red lanterns they carried on poles were dimmed by the gust, but they quickly stabilized and glowed brighter than before, appearing even more mysterious.
The wind gradually weakened and dissipated, leaving only the red lantern swaying gently in the night, exuding an air of nobility.
Everyone around realized something was amiss and looked at the red lantern with growing shock and confusion. "How could the Scarlet Lantern Lady's power be so strong? How could she withstand my spiritual power?"
"She's just a minor case deity, yet her incense offerings are so grand?" The Heaven's Will General, riding the red-haired flame ox, was also surprised.
"Perhaps she's the city's deity, and her incense offerings are just that powerful..."
Amidst the countless shocked questions, the Scarlet Lantern Lady quietly illuminated the surroundings, looking perplexed. "Om?"
