Chapter 467 The Fate of the Meng Family

Inside the Shima (Stone Horse) Town, the common people didn't even know what had happened. While they were being affected by the Caotou Ba Shuaishen (Eight Waning Gods of Grass), they did feel a sense of unease.

However, they weren't able to clearly see how it all happened, only vaguely sensing that the divine general riding the stone horse was like a true deity, wandering through the Shima Town, brandishing the divine weapon in his hand.

One by one, the mischievous plague ghosts wailed under the blade, unable to resist, and had their heads chopped off.

With each one killed, the pressure above their heads lessened by a fraction. By the time all eight ghosts were dead, they felt refreshed and invigorated.

Cheers almost overflowed from the town.

In the inn in the town, Lao Suanpan (Old Abacus), who was hugging a small flag and huddled on the steps, watched the changes outside with a drastically changed expression. His lips trembled, and he finally couldn't help but jump up high, throwing the flag in his hand to the ground.

"Damn it, I miscalculated!"

"That damned ancestral master didn't even remind me. I should have calculated ten times the interest from him..."

"What's going on?"

It wasn't just Lao Suanpan who was shocked, but also countless people in this town.

Grandpa Sun and the others in the inn could feel the amazing changes in the town, knowing when it was dangerous and when it was easy, but they couldn't understand what was happening outside the town.

They were the type who heard fighting, knew that something concerning their lives was happening, but couldn't understand what had happened, or get into the details, how they lost, how they won.

Even Grandpa Sun's proud "Earth Listening" ability couldn't hear clearly what was happening outside.

And because Hu Ma had lit the brazier from the start, shielding himself, they didn't even know who had taken action against the Caotou Ba Shuaishen (Eight Waning Gods of Grass). Could it really be the legendary old general?

Now, the least confused were the people in Shima Town. They didn't want to think so much: "It's the legendary old general..."

"The old saying has always been that the old general is divine. Now that there are plague ghosts haunting the town, how could he not come out to protect the people?"

And those in the know were either frightened by the movement or felt that the terror of the situation far exceeded their imagination.

"How is that possible?"

In the town, there were also opera troupe leaders, girls carried by their grandfathers to watch the lanterns, showmen who carried large vats on their heads, mule and horse dealers, sedan carriers who carried masters up the mountain bare-chested, and fortune-tellers wandering the streets, all with strange expressions.

"Eight... eight were all killed?"

The most excited was the knife in Hu Ma's hand. This knife was extremely fierce, killing people as soon as it was forged, but it was stopped by Hu Ma. But he didn't expect that after following him out, it would immediately receive a blood sacrifice.

When he killed the first Meng family negative spirit person, it was only extremely evil and exceptionally excited, craving for more. Then he followed Hu Ma and killed the second negative spirit person, becoming even more excited.

But then, there was the third, the fourth, the fifth...

No...

...The knife was stunned. Were the days already so good?

Each negative spirit person was at the level to enter the mansion. Unlike when they were human candles, they already had Dao Xing (cultivation). Most importantly, they were holding those spirit tablets, and each spirit tablet contained a Caotou Ba Shuaishen (Eight Waning Gods of Grass).

That scalding hot blood was splashed on the knife, and along with shattering the spirit tablets, the surging Yin Qi (nether energy) was all added to the blade.

What is called knife sacrifice?

The most wicked knife sacrifice method in legends is to sacrifice the knife with living people. The higher the life number of the person, the fiercer the knife becomes.

But is that serious?

Living people?

Even dogs look down on them!

We are directly using the guests on the table to sacrifice the knife, and there are eight of them!

In this subtle change, this knife was also undergoing an invisible change. When killing the first person, blood was spilled all over the ground. When killing the second person, the blood spilled out in a beautiful shape. When killing the third person, the blood spurted several feet high.

But when killing the eighth person, he clearly saw blood flowers exploding, but when Hu Ma raised the knife to look, he saw no blood stains on the knife.

The blood from killing people disappeared directly, as if it was secretly absorbed by something...

"That's not bad, it saves me from washing the knife after killing people in the future..."

After killing eight people in a row, Hu Ma gradually slowed down the reins, took a deep breath, and his heroic spirit suddenly arose. His divine soul seemed to be surging, and he had a feeling of not having enjoyed himself at all.

"How is that possible?"

"What... what kind of sorcery was used?"

Also seeing the murderous aura on the town, the Second Young Master of the Meng family had a somewhat distorted expression, and shouted sharply. Now it was clear that his whole body was bristling, his palms were trembling, and his eyes were bloodshot.

The change was too fast, and he was twenty miles away, so he didn't even see it too clearly. He only felt flustered from the moment the first guest on the table was beheaded, and he was busy trying to see what had happened. But suddenly, surging Sha Qi (killing aura) overflowed and swept across half the sky.

Even his gaze was suddenly impacted by that Sha Qi (killing aura), feeling that his eyes were sore, as if gusts of Yin wind (nether wind) were constantly chasing from the direction of the town. If he wanted to see clearly, he had to withstand this Yin wind (nether wind).

But when he finally looked over, he saw that the matter in Shima Town was already over. The Caotou Ba Shuaishen (Eight Waning Gods of Grass) were all gone.

But for the Second Young Master of the Meng family at this time, this result was not even the most terrifying. The most terrifying thing was that this result appeared in front of him, but he didn't even know how it happened, how could it happen?

In just these two days, there had already been too many unexpected things that people couldn't understand, and there was a deep unease in his heart.

Earlier, someone in the town had received his bow. For him, it was an unacceptable thing. But that matter could be explained by the fact that the other party didn't know who he was, and was lawless, rebellious, so they dared to receive this bow.

After all, if it was really that kind of rebel who tried to rebel and didn't respect imperial power, it was possible for them to receive this bow...

...It wasn't really received, just a hidden danger, and it would take time to backlash.

But now it's different. There was actually such a powerful existence in that town, which attracted that monstrous Sha Qi (killing aura), and even took action in an instant and beheaded the Caotou Ba Shuaishen (Eight Waning Gods of Grass)?

Impossible, where did these demons get such heavy Sha Qi (killing aura)?

This kind of Sha Qi (killing aura) was probably already at the level of the Wu Sha Shen (Five Killing Gods) of the Zhen Sui Hu family, but even the Wu Sha Shen (Five Killing Gods) were killed by the Hu family themselves in Ming Prefecture before...

"Heh..."

Listening to the Second Young Master of the Meng family's angry roar, and the people around him were trembling because of his temper, Tie Jun, the Dasuo (Grand Official) of Shousui (New Year's Eve Watch), who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, just sneered, opened his eyes slightly, glanced at the incense stick inserted in front of him, and then closed them again.

There was still a little incense left, and there was still a little time before Zi Shi (11 PM - 1 AM).

He still needed to guard and continue to wait.

The Meng family rose to prominence by establishing their careers with negative spirits, rising from humble incense burners, and accidentally occupying great luck, achieving the status of the noble Ten Surnames. But what is the Tongyin (Spirit Communicating) Meng family in the eyes of the other Ten Surnames? Do the other nine families respect the Meng family?

The answer is of course yes, no one would say that they don't respect the Meng family.

But everyone respects the Meng family, but they would not marry into the Meng family. Earlier, the Meng family also had outstanding disciples who wanted to marry the Fourth Miss of the Sanfang (Third Branch) of the Yangming (Life Nurturing) Zhou family.

As a result, the fierce Fourth Miss directly set the house on fire, and also wanted to set the ancestral shrine on fire. The Zhou family members all came to stop her, shocked and horrified. The Fourth Miss just glared her eyes and questioned her parents:

"You are living and enjoying happiness, but you want to send me to Yin Fu (netherworld) to suffer?"

Since then, no one in the Yangming (Life Nurturing) Zhou family dared to mention this matter again, and the Meng family lost all face and did not dare to visit.

He was the Dasuo (Grand Official) of the Shousui (New Year's Eve Watch). He could only respect the Meng family. Just now, after hearing about the Meng family's preparations to deal with the Hu family, he couldn't help but feel a deep fear of their abilities. However, this skill was not small.

But this kind of Qi nurturing skill...

He sneered in his heart, opened his eyes slightly, and then closed them again, too lazy to look any further.

The Second Young Master of the Meng family didn't know that he had been despised by the Shousui (New Year's Eve Watch) person, but the people around him were all silent because they saw him angry, and no one dared to persuade him. Instead, it made him feel even more uncomfortable. His face was gloomy, and anger was about to squeeze out of his chest:

"Bring the banner!"

The personal maid didn't dare to neglect him, but hurriedly brought out a black flag and inserted it beside him, and then hurriedly brought over a tray with a stick of incense on it.

The Second Young Master of the Meng family grabbed the incense, knelt on the ground, and slowly bowed a few times to the flag, causing a gust of Yin wind (nether wind) to rise suddenly.

"Are they getting serious?"

The Daitang Guan (Grand Official) Tie Jun next to him couldn't help but be shocked: "The Meng family is starting to kowtow, things are getting serious..."

"...The Tongyin (Spirit Communicating) Meng family, born with negative spirits, rose to prominence by kneeling and kowtowing!"

"A big horse trapped in a small mud pit, a little gatekeeper ghost playing with the mansion god..."

After kowtowing a few times, the Second Young Master of the Meng family was already full of gloom, staring at the direction of Shima Town: "Things hiding their heads and showing their tails, bullying me like this, today I will let you see the real methods of the Meng family!"

In a roar mixed with venting his anger, he drew out a silver short knife and suddenly swung it down, slashing a bright cut on his left palm. Blood splashed out and sprinkled on a flag next to him with a drooping flag surface.

In the next moment, this flag, which looked very heavy and seemed impossible to be blown up by the wind, suddenly opened up and rippled with a gust of Yin wind (nether wind).
