“Although it's a bit unfair to the brothers in the Red Lantern Society, there's no other way, is there?”

Seeing his paper figures wreaking havoc among the Red Lantern Society, causing chaos and panic, Di Guashao wore a look of guilt, but his eyes shone brightly. “If we're going to make trouble, let's make it thorough…”

“Senior Lao Baigan is amazing. He did the reconnaissance, the planning, the execution, and he's even thinking about fencing the goods and cleaning up afterward…”

“He did ninety-nine percent of the work for this operation, only giving me this one task. If I don't perform well, how can I be worthy of my share?”

“…”

Since meeting the Reincarnator, Di Guashao had never had such an easy task. He used to think the other Reincarnators were timid and had shallow appetites. This was the first time he felt the need to look for reasons within himself, feeling like he couldn't keep up with Senior's pace.

After deep reflection, what could he do?

Di Guashao's understanding was clear: “Of course, I have to satisfy Senior. The Red Lantern Society brothers will have to wait…”

“Whoosh…”

Countless paper figures flew toward the Red Lantern Mother Society, their soul-calling voices carried on the yin wind, unsettling people's minds. Once they heard the soul-calling sound, their heads would spin, and they'd feel as if their souls were leaving their bodies.

And in this rolling yin wind, a separated soul would immediately get lost, unable to return in a short time. To outsiders, it would look like the person was blown by the yin wind and then collapsed to the ground in a daze.

This immediately shocked everyone. Shen Hongzhi, the Left Protector who was personally guarding the blood food storage, was furious: “The Doctrine of Truth disciples are so fierce and reckless, daring to bully our Red Lantern Society like this?”

Just today, she had received a letter from the Right Protector, delivered by a minor ghost. The usually reliable leader only said that he had important matters and couldn't return to handle this, but he also said that he had made arrangements, telling her to rest assured and to reassure the Red Lantern Mother not to worry.

Now that the blood food storage was in their hands, they should guard it well. Didn't the Doctrine of Truth preach rules?

Then let them keep preaching!

If they came to borrow food, she had the right to refuse, didn't she?

But who would have thought that in just one night, the Doctrine of Truth, who had been talking about rules, would directly send people to rob them?

“How can this be allowed?”

Left Protector Shen Hongzhi immediately pulled out the silver chain spear wrapped around her waist, wielding it forcefully, smashing several paper figures that floated in front of her into pieces. Then, she shouted, “Form the formation, guard the blood food storage!”

“Whoever comes, kill them all!”

“…”

She had a bad temper, and only the Right Protector could usually keep her in check. Now that the Right Protector wasn't here, and she had endured the Doctrine of Truth's arrogance for so long, the fire in her heart was rising, clearly impossible to suppress.

“Quick, form the formation! Light the torches and burn these running paper figures…”

“Quickly, call for reinforcements! Send all the men from Zhumen Town! The Doctrine of Truth doesn't follow the rules and is attacking the blood food storage by force…”

“…”

The two sides had been confronting each other for days, and because of a banner in the middle of the night, a commotion suddenly broke out. The Red Lantern Society's men were thrown into chaos, while the Doctrine of Truth's men were clearly dumbfounded: “Wait, which faction does that banner belong to?”

“Why did they attack without even saying a word?”

“…”

But they reacted quickly, vaguely realizing that something was wrong. They shouted, “No, we have to go and see! That banner…”

“If it's really our people, then we'll support them. If not, then some妖人 (yao ren, monstrous people) are using our name to cause trouble…”

“…”

They were both puzzled and nervous, and hurried forward to see, but unexpectedly, their movement immediately made the Red Lantern Society's men guarding the blood food storage misunderstand. In the chaos, countless hidden weapons were thrown over.

The Red Lantern Society was, after all, just a martial arts sect trying to make a living. There were many old veterans in the society, but few dared to fight to the death. But coincidentally, those who dared to fight to the death were all confidants of Left Protector Shen Hongzhi, and she had arranged most of them near the storage.

Seeing the Doctrine of Truth first send a banner altar envoy to use evil arts to call souls, and then two other altar masters lead their men to press forward, their blood immediately rushed to their heads. How could they let them get close?

Chaos erupted instantly, but no one noticed that in this chaos, a little woman who didn't seem to be very nimble on her feet was shouting, “Fight, fight, fight! Kill, kill, kill…”

“The Doctrine of Truth people are attacking! Kill these scoundrels…”

“…”

While taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, she quietly slipped into the side of the blood food storage and stuck a yellow talisman on the storage wall.

The things stored inside the blood food storage were too precious. Although ordinary ghosts couldn't carry them away, if they sneaked in and had a big meal, and then went berserk, the loss would be significant. Therefore, the storage walls were engraved with inscriptions to drive away ghosts and ward off evil spirits. Ordinary little ghosts didn't dare to get close.

Therefore, Hu Ma had Xiao Hongtang pass a talisman to Di Guashao, on which he had personally written a消字咒 (xiao zi zhou, character-erasing incantation), which could erase the magic power of the inscriptions on the storage walls, which was equivalent to giving the little ghosts a portal to enter the storage walls.

As Di Guashao pasted the yellow talisman, a faint yin wind quietly passed through the crowd of fighting and shouting people, and blew straight into the blood food storage. Then, it spun around and turned into a small figure.

Xiao Hongtang had a basket on her left arm and a bag in her right hand. Looking at the things in the blood food storage, she opened her mouth in amazement.

One by one, huge black vats, more than ten feet high, heavy and majestic, were lined up in the storage, a total of ten vats.

“Brother Hu Ma is lying…”

After seeing clearly, Xiao Hongtang looked at the small cloth bag she was holding, and puffed out her cheeks, putting it back into the basket. Her little head couldn't figure it out: “Didn't you say there was a lot of blood food?”

“Why are there only ten vats?”

“One vat can be exchanged for one blood food pill, so this can only be exchanged for ten?”

“That's not right, adding the other warehouse, it can only be exchanged for twenty. It's clearly… not a lot!”

“…”

Although she wasn't satisfied, she still stretched out her two small hands and came to a big vat, trying to hug it.

Compared to this big vat, her figure was as small as a cat. When she stretched out her two little arms, she couldn't even encircle one-tenth of the vat, and the weight clearly far exceeded the limit of this little ghost.

She didn't think she could lift it, after all, the vat was too big.

But out of a serious and responsible attitude, she tried to exert some force and found that she could shake the vat.

A small smile appeared on her face. She exerted a little more force and found that she could actually lift a corner of the vat.

She didn't know what this represented, but she just felt that although the vat looked heavy, it didn't seem that heavy. So, she puffed out her small cheeks, mustered all her strength, and used all her strength. She actually lifted the vat.

Then, she staggered and took a few steps outward. Her figure turned into a gust of yin wind again, and with the vat, suddenly disappeared from the warehouse.

Not long after, the yin wind blew in again, and Xiao Hongtang aimed at another big vat and hugged it.

After a while, another vat.

She became more and more skilled.

While this huge vat of blood food was mysteriously disappearing from the blood food storage, outside the blood food storage, Di Guashao was guarding the outside of the warehouse, grabbing a large handful of paper money and shouting loudly, “See the White Sash of my Red Lantern Society here! Which heretic of the Doctrine of Truth dares to be presumptuous?”

In the shout, the paper money flew around, indiscriminately buying lives, regardless of friend or foe.

This awe-inspiring appearance even caught the attention of Left Protector Shen Hongzhi, who couldn't help but praise, “Even a White Sash is so loyal and hardworking. I'll promote her to a Red Sash later!”

……

……

“Good heavens, such a big vat?”

At this time, in Qingshishi Town, Hu Ma was guarding the empty warehouse. When he saw the big vat that Xiao Hongtang brought over, he couldn't help but be stunned: “Aren't they usually stored in small jars?”

“Why are they all stored in such big vats now? If this vat is all blood food, then how much would that be?”

“…”

Watching Xiao Hongtang hug a vat ten times bigger than her, staggering in, Hu Ma felt sorry for her. He hurriedly stepped forward to take it, but when he exerted a little force, he felt that it was heavy in his hand, and his face changed slightly:

“Damn, this vat is probably more than two thousand catties?” (One catty is approximately 500 grams or 1.1 pounds)

“Wait, how can Xiao Hongtang move it?”

“…”

Surprised, he quickly turned his head to ask Xiao Hongtang, but he saw her put down the vat, turned around, and ran away, ignoring him.

But when he turned around and tried the weight of the vat again, he found that if he only used his physical strength to grab the edge of the vat with one hand, it was a little difficult to lift it. He was even more shocked.

He had noticed earlier that Xiao Hongtang was quite strong and could carry him into the house, but the key was…

… Was she this strong?

… For a moment, Xiao Hongtang's performance exceeded the shock brought by seeing so much blood food.

While he was still a little dazed, Xiao Hongtang had already carried the vats back one by one. In the blink of an eye, there were already seven or eight vats in the empty storage.

“Wait, I think it's almost enough…”

Hu Ma couldn't help but want to advise Xiao Hongtang. He just needed blood food and didn't really think about moving all the blood food from the storage, but he didn't expect that before he could say his words of persuasion, Xiao Hongtang had already run out again.

What's going on… It feels like I can't stop her?

Is she going crazy?

Seeing her carrying back more and more vats, it seemed like she was getting more and more energetic. Hu Ma was a little worried. He had Di Guashao create chaos there, but he didn't know how long she could hold on, after all, even if she was brave, she wasn't a person who had entered the Fu realm.

What if the other side was only in chaos for a while, and then they checked the blood food storage and detained Xiao Hongtang there…

As he was thinking, he saw Xiao Hongtang struggling to run in with two big vats, one on top of the other. She carefully put them on the ground and then breathed a sigh of relief, patting her hands:

“That really tired me out…”
