Chapter 661: The Final Act (Part 3)
"Oh?"
Just as Long Jing was about to prepare the third arrow, he was genuinely surprised by Hu Ma's words. He turned to look at Hu Ma.
At this moment, Hu Ma's expression was unusually serious. He spoke in a low voice, "I thought that when you betrayed, the Reincarnate would want to kill you, but knowing that you endured this grievance, they wouldn't just stand by and do nothing."
"When you're wronged, you have to vent it. These seven arrows are heavy for you, but they're also important to us!"
"..."
On Long Jing's face, although he maintained a polite smile towards Hu Ma, inside he felt nothing but indifference and dejection. However, when he heard Hu Ma's words, his pupils slightly trembled, and he smiled, "I take back your words about being too cautious."
"To have such courage is already extraordinary."
"But do you understand how terrifying the Noble Zhang Family's relentless revenge and the Meng Family's all-out attack can be?"
"How do you plan to deal with it?"
"..."
Hu Ma sighed softly and said, "That's my business. Elder, focus on preparing your arrows."
As he spoke, he stood up and walked to the edge of the platform. When he looked up, he saw that the Meng Family Patriarch seemed to have gained a great advantage, laughing heartily while the Zhang Family's Third Uncle's face turned ashen.
With a wave of his sleeve, countless evil ghosts surrounded Hu Ma, and a towering figure looked down at him and shouted, "Dare you, a malevolent spirit, not surrender?"
"Do you think occupying this small plot of land will ensure your safety?"
"You have no idea that this was built by the Meng Family themselves. At worst, we'll destroy it, and this entire city of the wrongfully dead will be buried with you!"
"..."
When the situation was not so dire, the Meng Family indeed didn't want to destroy this ruin. After all, even if it was in ruins, the land remained.
With some effort, they could rebuild it.
But now, with such a great advantage, this plot of land was no longer as important.
Even as they spoke, as the evil ghosts pressed forward, countless small ghosts appeared around them, sneaking into the depths of the city of the wrongfully dead and heading towards the ruins. Since it was created by the Purple Great Guardian, it could be dismantled just as easily, and quite quickly at that...
But at this moment, Hu Ma had already stepped forward to the platform, gazing at the dark mass of the Meng Family's evil ghosts and soldiers. With a chilling tone, he said, "This is a matter between Elder Long Jing and the Noble Zhang Family. Do you Meng Family really dare to interfere?"
"You dare to speak so boldly, you insignificant malevolent spirit?"
However, Hu Ma's questioning only elicited laughter from the Meng Family Patriarch. He merely waved his sleeve, ordering his subordinates to work harder.
He was so indifferent that he didn't even bother to glance at Hu Ma again, saying, "Come and surrender early, and you might suffer less."
"If you truly anger the Great Ancestor, you won't even leave a trace behind."
"..."
Hu Ma narrowed his eyes, staring at the Meng Family Patriarch in charge, and said coldly, "Then you'll truly witness the abilities of this malevolent spirit."
"You Meng Family have offended the wrong person..."
"..."
In that instant, the Meng Family made their move, and even the ruins beneath their feet were no longer safe. On the spirit-summoning platform, Elder Long Jing bowed to the third arrow.
At the same time, Hu Ma took out the three talismans from his pocket and slowly drew out the yellow talisman. He blew on it, and the yellow talisman suddenly caught fire, emitting a faint glow that was barely noticeable in the dim Netherworld.
As Hu Ma burned the yellow talisman, countless Reincarnates, including Miss Red Wine, Erguotou, Double Distilled Wine, Mound Overturning Donkey, Flower Carving Wine, and Monkey Wine, were listening intently to the news from the city of the wrongfully dead.
Hu Ma, risking his life to assassinate the traitorous Reincarnate, had everyone on edge about the outcome.
This matter concerned the fate of the entire Reincarnate community, and being unable to help from the outside made them anxious.
Many impatient individuals were already regretting not joining the mission.
They only had two talismans, one red and one yellow. The red talisman indicated that Lao Bai Gan had chosen his target, and all Reincarnates were ready to take action. They had prepared early and were just waiting for the red talisman to burn before starting their killing spree.
As for the yellow talisman, no one wanted to see it.
They knew what the burning of the yellow talisman represented.
However, they never expected that the more they didn't want to see it, the more likely it was to happen. The yellow talisman suddenly caught fire.
The flames startled everyone. Erguotou, from the city of the wrongfully dead, clenched his fist tightly in shock and looked at the city with fear, his heart filled with anger.
He couldn't understand what had happened to Lao Bai Gan, who didn't even have a chance to burn the green talisman he had given him. Miss Red Wine's body trembled with cold, and she shivered, "Oh no, oh no, how will I explain this to Xiao Bai?"
"..."
But just as they were at their most anxious, Hu Ma's voice, carried by the burning yellow talisman, reached their ears, "Everyone, this is not my last words..."
"I am currently in the Netherworld's city of the wrongfully dead, and I have met the elder who was imprisoned by the Noble Zhang Family for twenty years. He is not the Iron Guanyin but Elder Long Jing, who once used nightmare techniques to curse the entire Yi Clan to death. Now, he is delivering his grand gift to the Zhang Family!"
"..."
"What?
"Before he could recover from the surprise of the phrase 'not my last words' that Hu Ma emphasized, he was shocked once again.
"Dragon Well?"
"What... what's going on here?"
"..."
"Dragon Well Senior has been imprisoned by the Noble Zhang Family, enduring much suffering, even... humiliation!"
"..."
He spoke as calmly and clearly as possible, quickly explaining everything. His voice grew increasingly deep, hinting at suppressed anger.
"The destiny of the mortal realm has changed. The downfall of the Noble Zhang Family is imminent. Dragon Well Master has prepared seven arrows for this world, and five of them have yet to be fired. Now, the Zhang Family is afraid, but the Meng Family, the Yin Gate, is about to intervene and take on this karma on their behalf..."
"The Spirit Summoning Platform has been constructed. If there is one, there will be a second."
"The Meng Family can recreate this platform at any time and capture any reincarnator. They can expose us all."
"Most importantly, the Meng Family relies on that Great Ancestor. But now, it... has no time for us..."
"So..."
As he spoke, he looked at the yellow talisman paper that was about to finish burning and slowly said, "Everyone, it's time to take action."
...
...
"Swoosh!"
Just as Hu Ma finished speaking, the foundation beneath his feet had been partially demolished by the Meng Family's ghost-driving technique. On the Spirit Summoning Platform, Dragon Well Master, who was not one to waste words, focused his attention on the straw figure before him. The figure's blood-stained robe stood upright, its brows furrowed, and it bowed solemnly towards the third talisman arrow.
"Boom!"
This arrow pierced through the realms of Yin and Yang, flying straight towards the mortal realm, towards the northern capital.
In the ancient and vast capital, there was a royal palace that had been sealed off twenty years ago. Now, it was overgrown with wild grass, filled with scattered dry bones and wandering vengeful souls.
The arrow flew straight through the palace, aiming directly at the Heaven-Embracing Hall, pointing at the dragon throne that was bound by countless iron chains and covered in white talismans bearing the ten forbidden names.
...That was the Dragon Throne! Only those destined by heaven could sit upon it.
"Sizzle!"
Where the third arrow landed, the white talismans on the throne suddenly ignited, causing the iron chains to clatter and fall away, revealing the throne to the sky once again.
In that instant, thunder roared for thousands of miles, and dark clouds gathered and dispersed in the sky, as if a dragon's roar emanated from the depths of the earth.
"Not good..."
Throughout the mortal realm, even those suppressed by destiny, had long lost the right to speak for the Yi Dynasty's government offices. Instead, various aristocratic families and warlords had taken control.
These warlords, though powerful and well-provisioned, all made the same choice: to temporarily occupy a territory, stay in one place, and wait for the right moment, daring not to fight for the world.
They themselves struggled to understand this clearly, but they vaguely felt as if something was constantly pressing down on them from above.
An unseen force seemed to be watching, preventing them from acting rashly.
It wasn't that they hadn't sought out fortune tellers for guidance, but the result was often that the time was not yet right, and the hidden dragon should not be disturbed.
But at this moment, the various warlords across the realm either woke up from their dreams or suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing their flags.
They were shocked, slamming their tables, only to feel the pressure above them inexplicably lift.
"The Meng Family's Great Ancestor has no time for us?"
"Damn, so as long as the Meng Family takes action, they can capture any one of us and expose us all?"
"Dragon Well Master is truly amazing..."
"Damn, this green tea is still one of us, how could he be bullied so badly by the Noble Zhang Family? I can't agree to this!"
"..."
In the deeper parts of this world, the reincarnators hiding in various places and identities also fell silent for a moment after hearing Hu Ma's words. Then, various exclamations and excitement filled the air.
"Old Bai Gan truly lives up to his reputation as the first fearless reincarnator..."
In Mingzhou, the Red Wine Miss, who had settled there, quietly listened to these words and closed her eyes slightly.
Beside her stood a young man in a black robe, holding a knife, who whispered, "So this means..."
"All ten surnames have their terrifying aspects..."
Red Wine Miss slowly said, "If we're talking about the most terrifying, it's the Meng Family. Their influence spans half the world, and there are many Mansion Lords loyal to them. Even more so, countless warlords are under their control."
"But at the same time, the Meng Family gained their power through kowtowing. Once their Great Ancestor is distracted, the Meng Family becomes the weakest..."
"The weakest Meng Family is threatening all the reincarnators. What do you think we should do?"
"..."
The young man holding the knife beside her gradually widened his eyes, even trembling with excitement, "Finally... is it time?"
"Yes!"
The smile on Red Wine Miss's face became subtly sinister, and a hint of madness flickered in her eyes. "Send a message to all the reincarnators to take immediate action and have a good fight with the Meng Family!"
