Chapter 654: Twenty Years, Seven Arrows

From the inside out, a complete transformation.

If Hu Ma were to describe it, this was the feeling he was experiencing within his body at this moment.

His Life Spirit Temple, originally in ruins, had gradually regained vitality over the past few years, and the deity statue hidden in the darkness had begun to glow with golden light.

However, the changes over these years were nothing compared to what happened in this brief moment. He clearly felt that as the dark red mist transformed into purple qi, his Life Spirit Temple became brighter.

Not only that, but as the purple qi surged into the Life Spirit Temple, it should have quickly dyed all the dark red mist red. However, Hu Ma's Life Spirit Temple was originally dilapidated, but now it seemed to have encountered sweet rain after a long drought, and it had developed a strong yearning.

The endless purple qi was originally extremely difficult to refine, but in this instant, strands of purple mist instantly surged into every corner, crack, and crevice of his Life Spirit Temple, frantically absorbing, filling, and repairing...

The Four Pillar Life Incense also began to be dyed with purple as the purple qi filled and saturated the Life Spirit Temple, gradually transforming from one pillar to two...

In this instant, Hu Ma felt an innate joy, as if he had parted the clouds and seen the sun. Even the deity statue hidden in the darkness seemed to roar as it opened its eyes, filled with purple light, high above, overlooking the mortal world.

"Huh?"

At the same time, Dragon Well Master was also observing Hu Ma, watching the rolling purple qi rising, all of which poured into Hu Ma's body. He seemed to have discovered something, and his expression was slightly astonished.

Hu Ma, drawn by the roaring purple qi, suddenly realized and hurriedly moved his divine soul, opening his eyes. He saw that the Purple Great Guardian in the cauldron had almost completely dissipated, leaving only a few strands. He was slightly startled and hastily stopped his cultivation.

Thinking that Dragon Well Master also needed this, his heart was filled with apprehension: "Senior, you gave it all to me, but what about you...?"

Seeing the genuine concern on his face, Dragon Well Master slowly retracted his astonishment and suddenly smiled faintly, saying softly, "Your foundation is excellent, and your opportunities are beyond what ordinary people can achieve!"

Hu Ma was taken aback and quickly asked, "Senior, is there a problem?"

"No."

Dragon Well Master smiled faintly, his gaze distant. "Everything is just right."

"But..."

Hu Ma looked at the cauldron, feeling anxious. He had just unconsciously consumed so much; how could he not worry?

"This is enough."

Dragon Well Master seemed to know what he was thinking and gently waved his hand. Then, he looked down at the cauldron, rolled up his sleeve, and with his middle and index fingers together, he scooped up a strand of purple qi from the cauldron and gently pressed it onto his forehead.

"Boom!"

With just this strand of Purple Great Guardian, as he pressed it to his forehead, Hu Ma suddenly felt like the heavens were collapsing and the earth was shattering.

His shadow suddenly became chaotic, and his body seemed to have triggered a thunderous roar, majestic and awe-inspiring.

Faintly, Hu Ma could even see behind him a gigantic but dilapidated Life Spirit Temple appear. The temple was in ruins, even more dilapidated than the one he had seen when he first encountered the Great Red Robe. It was almost beyond recognition.

However, as this strand of Purple Great Guardian entered the temple, it radiated brilliantly, as if suddenly awakening something.

But this thunderous vision only lasted for a fleeting moment. Dragon Well Master lowered his finger, and his eyes seemed to have a divine light flickering within them. He said softly, "Remember to pass on this technique and tell the other reincarnates."

"Also convey my words to them."

"I was captured by Nobleman Zhang Family and have been thinking for twenty years, resentful for twenty years, and only now have I begun to understand."

"In the past, our defeat was not because our abilities were insufficient, nor was it due to the backstabbing of the State Preceptor and the Ten Surnames. In fact, we lost because of our arrogance."

"At that time, relying on our life spirits, we arbitrarily dominated this world and broke its rules. We were above all, unique, and wanted to change it, but deep down, we never respected it..."

"Look at the Non-Ox Eating Clan; although they follow Laojun Mei, they are all crazy and eccentric, without any proper form. They are skilled in minor techniques but incapable of handling major matters. To be frank, we never expected them to truly accomplish anything; they were just used as errand runners."

At this point, he sighed softly and said to Hu Ma, "Your generation of reincarnates has hidden for twenty years, naturally missing many opportunities."

"But this may not be a bad thing. At least you have had the time to better observe this world..."

"... "

Listening to his words and seeing the emptiness in his eyes, Hu Ma's heart suddenly filled with an ominous feeling.

After saying these few words, Dragon Well Master suddenly waved his wide sleeves, and the mansion that existed in the misty netherworld began to crumble. The tiles and walls fell apart, and the solid ground in front of him seemed to be destroyed in an instant, only to slowly reassemble and form a straight staircase leading downward to a platform below.

It was a divine platform surrounded by purple qi, with countless tall stone pillars standing around it, all carved with divine dragon shadows.

Without needing his introduction, Hu Ma instantly recognized it:

The Spirit Summoning Platform!

This was the platform Meng Jia and Zhang Jia had jointly created to reveal all reincarnates in the world.

As Master Long Jing gazed upon the divine platform, he heaved a soft sigh, his expression filled with emotion. Turning around, he looked ahead and saw a black fishing boat slowly rowing towards them in the hazy Netherworld.

At the boat's front, two men in loose robes stood, one of them staring at Long Jing with chilling eyes, "Iron Master, as expected, you've betrayed us."

"The Zhang family raised you for twenty years, but you remain ungrateful. You abandoned your wife and child, harboring malicious intentions. It's evident that the term 'malevolent spirit'..."

"...fits you perfectly!"

"...As you speak," a strange squealing sound suddenly came from the boat, revealing a hunchbacked young man.

His appearance was peculiar, with a large fleshy tumor on his shoulder, a cruel gaze, and a mouthful of crooked teeth. Upon hearing the words "abandoned wife and child," he started chattering and pointing at Master Long Jing.

"Hehe, is that my child?"

Master Long Jing seemed a bit troubled, scratching his head and sighing, "My cultivation might be gone, but my vision remains sharp."

"Do you think you can hide your birth creation technique from me, Zhang Jia?"

"If not for this sinful conception, and borrowing Zhang Er Miss's womb to be born into the world, I might have left a bloodline for your Zhang family. But..."

As he spoke slowly, his gaze gradually turned cold, "You all are too eager to manipulate me. Is it because you see that she believes in my words more and more, becoming more convinced? Do you feel she's slipping out of your control?"

"You conceived this sinful child, causing her to lose her life, and yet you still want to use this to manipulate me?"

"...As I speak here, my words and expression are filled with anger, and even my cruelty is rarely revealed."

"Waa..."

Hearing his words, the people on the boat had slightly darkened expressions, but the monster suddenly jumped around, crying loudly.

"Be good, your father doesn't want you, but it's okay, your granduncle is here..."

The Third Lord of the Zhang family patted the monster, as if soothing a cat or dog.

Then he raised his head to look at Master Long Jing, his eyes cold, "It's you who bewitched my sister with your demon words, causing her to forget our ancestors and believe your nonsense, even wanting to help you escape..."

"What's the point of regretting a family betrayer's death?"

"As for your malicious intentions..."

"...As his gaze swept over the divine platform, he burst into laughter, "Do you really think no one can see through your petty schemes?"

"What does it matter if you betrayed them, or if you came into contact with immortal energy? If not for this, how could you have lured the reincarnated malevolent spirit here?"

"...As he spoke, he clapped his hands lightly, and the wooden boat stopped thirty zhang away.

But immediately after, wooden boats appeared from all directions, filled with malevolent ghosts. In the hazy Netherworld, patches of red light emerged from the darkness, revealing countless burning incense and wandering spirits holding them.

Deeper into the Netherworld, one could see tall ghostly figures, armored ghost generals, and Yin soldiers surrounding grand statues of the Governor Deities.

"A trap?"

Hu Ma's heart sank upon seeing this scene.

Master Long Jing was deceiving the Zhang family, but they were also deceiving him. Their preparations were far more extensive than imagined, with Yin soldiers and ghost generals, and even the Governor Deities from the Meng family, all ready. An unprecedented net had been cast within the City of the Wrongly Dead.

With so many ghosts and soldiers gathered, even the balance of the City of the Wrongly Dead was affected, becoming skewed.

"Your biggest problem is being too clever..."

On the Dharmic Boat, the voice of the Third Elder of the Zhang family was eerily calm, "The Spirit Summoning Platform and Demon Mirror you proposed are real. Only the real can lure us in, and everything went according to your plan."

"And the Purple Great Guardian, the Netherworld Mansion, we prepared are also real. Only then could we lure these malevolent spirits for you to invite them here. Now that we're in the trap, what can you say?"

Hearing his delighted voice, even the monster beside him became excited, chattering noisily.

"We've all fulfilled our wishes, haven't we?"

Master Long Jing nodded slightly, smiling as he turned to Hu Ma, "Little brother, if you can't handle it, follow the path I left behind and go deeper. With the Purple Great Guardians, they can't stop you on the bridge."

"But while you can still hold on, help me protect my Dharma!"

"...Hu Ma nodded vigorously, "Senior, rest assured. But if I can escape, what about you...?"

Master Long Jing smiled and slowly turned to climb the steps towards the divine platform, sighing softly, "I spent twenty years preparing seven arrows for the Zhang family and this world..."

"Is there anything more important or satisfying than shooting these seven arrows?"
