Chapter 90: Recon, Action, and Disposal (Thanks to Lord Snow Eagle for the Silver Great Alliance)

"Brother, you’re in such a hurry to find me, I guess you have some good news?"

Under Hu Ma's gaze, with his call, the half-burned Life Incense in the incense burner suddenly burned faster. A wisp of incense, like a wandering snake, drilled into the dark red mist, twisting and turning rapidly as if searching for something.

After a while, this wisp of incense suddenly straightened, and the voice of Second Pot Elder Brother followed, at the same time, the burning speed of the Life Incense gradually slowed down.

Although this was the first time Hu Ma formally called someone, he had already understood the usage of the Life Incense.

If the Life Incense was inserted into the incense burner, he could hear someone’s call at any time. If they had previously connected, they could directly call him. Of course, this required that he was also in a dream state, to be instantly pulled into the spirit temple.

If he was awake, he might have a slight sensation, but Hu Ma had never tried it.

Second Pot Elder Brother had only agreed to speak with him on the zeroth day, but as long as he was in a dream, it didn’t have to be the zeroth day to call him.

However, such a sudden disturbance was somewhat impolite if it wasn’t an urgent matter.

Now, hearing Second Pot Elder Brother’s voice, Hu Ma knew he had successfully called him. He sighed in relief and said with a smile, "It's not entirely clear yet, but I've indeed grasped a bit of information."

"However, I also urgently need to ask you, if we really want to get that batch of Blood Food, what preparations do we need before we make our move, and how can we cooperate to ensure a safe and steady operation?"

He was almost certain now that the batch of Blood Food was near the village. but he didn’t need to reveal this information all at once. It was better to first get a clear answer.

Hu Ma, being cautious, knew that Second Pot Elder Brother was also wise, and he didn’t ask directly. Instead, he said, "It's simple. Recon the situation, set a clear strategy, and finally, ensure that after getting it, you clean up the trail and enjoy it safely."

"Recon, action, and disposal?"

These words suddenly popped into Hu Ma’s mind, and he hurriedly said, "Let's not talk about the other parts for now, but we need to be careful about the action part."

"Brother, it's not that I doubt you, but I need to ask, are the people from the Vat Sect easy to deal with?"

"..."

Second Pot Elder Brother was slightly taken aback, "Those scoundrels? They really came out of the Old Yin Mountain?"

"Pretty much."

Hu Ma said, "The information isn't clear yet, but I can confirm that if we want to get this batch of Blood Food safely, we will have to deal with them."

Second Pot Elder Brother’s voice also became more serious, "How many people?"

Hu Ma indicated uncertainty, but said, "At least be prepared to deal with the entire Vat Sect."

Hearing this, Second Pot Elder Brother fell into a slight silence, pondering for a while before saying, "This requires careful planning. The Vat Sect, although mostly wild, managed to cause a significant disturbance in Mingzhou Prefecture in the past. Their abilities are not to be underestimated."

"..."

"What is your innkeeper planning, and how can his two brushes match these people?"

"..."

Hu Ma, hearing this, also sighed inwardly, "I don’t know... I can see the issue, and how can this experienced Second Pot Elder Brother not see it?"

The Old Shopkeeper, although he gave his explanation for not reporting, sounded extremely peculiar to anyone who heard it.

No matter how much he said, the first key point was that the Shopkeeper had such confidence that he could deal with the entire Vat Sect alone, or with the addition of himself, it would be enough?

"Regardless, this matter involves the Vat Sect and your mysterious Old Shopkeeper, and we must keep it secret from the Red Lantern Association. Relying on just the two of us might not be safe."

Second Pot Elder Brother also thought for a moment and slowly said, "Perhaps, we need to find a helper."

"..."

"A helper?"

Hu Ma was somewhat surprised, "Where do we find one?"

"Of course, the White Wine Lady."

Second Pot Elder Brother smiled, "Her skills are not small. As far as I know, she is not originally from Mingzhou Prefecture, but came here to handle some matters. She should still be here."

"But she doesn’t like chatting. I’ve called her a few times, thinking she must have heard, but she just doesn’t bother to reply."

"..."

"Initiate a chat with her?"

Hu Ma was even more surprised, "Then why do I have to wait for the zeroth day to contact you?"

Second Pot Elder Brother was also silent for a moment, then said somewhat awkwardly, "We talk about serious matters..."

"..."

"But who likes to chat with a guy? When I occasionally come up, I also think about finding the White Wine Lady to chat and flirt. In front of you, I have to act like a big brother!"

"..."

"What is this nonsense..."

Hu Ma, hearing this, was speechless. He could only shake his head helplessly, "The specific information, I still need to continue gathering. There are still too many things uncertain."

."

"But, if it’s decided to act when the time comes, we should look for the helper in advance. I estimate that the Vat Sect will come soon."

."

Second Pot Elder Brother laughed when he heard this, "Don’t worry."

."

"I will invite the White Wine Lady for tea and cosmetics. She might ignore me, but if I tell her about this batch of Blood Food, she will definitely be interested."

."

"..."

After discussing a few more details, Hu Ma left the spirit temple.

(End of Chapter)Elder Brother Hu Ma chatted with Elder brother Er Guotou, as good times were approaching, so there was no need to wait for the zeroth day.

In recent days, every night at midnight,12, everyone would enter their Life-bound Spirit temple to wait for a period of one incense to pass. With the old shopkeeper’s permission, Hu Ma began cultivating quietly and diligently, arranging the village’s affairs. day. time, feeling the nourishment from the green food, which he consumed without any hesitation, bowl per day. Also noticing the cultivation’s diligence, as his life incense burned quickly, and his third pillar of life incense was about to run out. Two pillars. However, with the nourishment from the green food, he managed to hold onto this third pillar of life incense, even though the cultivation’s progress did not slow down, but Hu never pillar of life incense was no longer affected, and he actively strengthened the village’s patrols, day, warning anyone to touch anything suspicious, especially the people from the Vat Sect, who burned the poor widow’s bowl of green food per day, harming Hu Ma, who was already quite experienced with the evil techniques of day, and case that made the Zhao widow more fearful.

but the result was clean and satisfactory, as the body was clean and tidy, and the spirit temple was the cleanest place in the village, so no one dared to notice.

fear of the evil spirits, and the case of Widow Zhao was handled cleanly by the people from the Vat Sect, even the old shopkeeper had no problem with it.

So, for Hu Ma, it was a matter of informing the villagers: “Pick up the limbs and arms, burn them, and then burn some paper and incense to keep things calm.”

“...”

Seeing the villagers’ frightened faces, Hu Ma thought, the Vat Sect had already caused two casualties, they would not dare to act rashly.

Hu Ma deliberately warned, “This case, you don’t need to report to the authorities. it’s simple, some outsider demons targeted Widow Zhao, sneaking in at night and harming her. You saw that person, this is the work of those who practice evil techniques. However, this person didn’t fare well, being taken by widow Zhao’s venge soul, dying a more tragic death, this is what you call it, the old heaven has eyes, retribution is not satisfactory!”

However, we villagers must be more careful.”

“These practitioners of evil techniques, from now on, must be more alert, when you encounter one of these street vendors, dare to enter the village, and directly kill.”

Hu Ma was shocked, knowing they weren’t joking. The villagers, in a fit of anger, declared, “If you encounter one of these street vendors, and they dare to enter the village, just kill them outright.”

“There’s no need to, most are good, just street vendors earning a few coins, it’s convenient for the villagers, but those demons are hateful!”

“Villagers, be more cautious, if you encounter something suspicious, come to the village and tell us about it.”

“...”

The villagers were deeply moved by this, the elderly folks pulled Hu Ma’s hand, earnestly. With the handling of these incidents, Hu Ma’s reputation was growing, even more than the old, careful shopkeeper, after dealing with the matter, returned to the village. Over the next few days, Hu Ma felt increasingly uneasy Not only did he arrange for the apprentices to help keep an eye out, but the villagers were also more vigilant, newcomers. However, they still showed no movement, knowing they would come, yet they did not, the village, this calm was the hardest to maintain, but things had to be done, and although the shopkeeper was satisfied, Hu Ma walked into the inner courtyard.

In front of the shopkeeper, laughing, his hand, he threw my crutch away. “Shopkeeper, I am done!”
