Chapter 884 - 827: The God of Slaughter Enters the Blood Pond
Since it was decided to enter the underworld and seize the Bloodstain Pond, the matter should not be delayed, and they must set off immediately.
Therefore, the group split into two teams: Hu Ma, Er Guotou, Miss Red Wine, and Burning Blade headed to the underworld to seize control of the Bloodstain Pond.
Yubing Shao, Old High Grain, and Bamboo Leaf Green, along with the mischievously absent Gua Shao, remained at this location to represent Hu Ma's leadership over the not eating beef disciples and continue the strong assault on Menghu Pass.
As for Calculation, seeing their decision, he could only reluctantly agree, but before leaving, he pulled Hu Ma aside and earnestly said: "Since you plan to enter the underworld, I must remind you of the essentials of our Daluo Dharma Sect..."
Seeing his seriousness, Hu Ma was also puzzled: "What?"
Calculation said: "Nowadays, the Eight Sceneries of Netherworld are considered in the pockets of the Ten Families, but how many years have they managed them? Honestly speaking, in the past, it was always under the watchful eye of our Daluo Dharma Sect..."
Listening to him, Hu Ma's heart was indeed slightly moved: "Could it be that the Daluo Dharma Sect has some legacy dharma methods that weren't shared with me?"
It's said that the Daluo Dharma Sect is widely recognized as the eleventh family. Although the State Preceptor is annoying, his ability to outshine the Ten Families is enviable.
Yet why, after becoming the main sacrificial of the Daluo Dharma Sect, am I left with only a title?
Additionally, the Twelve Ghost Altars theoretically belong to me, and I can indeed carry them, but they are merely objects that need to suppress the world, which I dare not easily use now.
"No."
Calculation, hearing Hu Ma's inquiry, paused momentarily, then confidently replied: "The only legacy dharma method within the sect is to bow to the ancestral master; if there is any issue, you can consult him..."
"Bow to the ancestor?"
Seeing Hu Ma squinting his eyes at him, he hurriedly added: "I'm not deceiving you; the Daluo Dharma Sect has no true methods for cultivation. Even the ancestral master and the second-generation main sacrificial, along with the State Preceptor's skills, were all learned after they descended the mountain."
"Our sect actually has only three levels, specifically for you main sacrificial individuals..."
Hu Ma, upon hearing this, found himself intrigued: "What levels?"
Calculation turned unexpectedly serious, his deeply wrinkled face showing an unusual solemnity, whispering: "Observation, participation, and..."
"...God."
"..."
Listening to this, Hu Ma felt a bit bewildered: "What kind of god nonsense is that? It's not even matching!"
Calculation replied: "How could I know? I simply heard it somewhere, and I'm parroting it for you."
"Since you are entering the underworld, take care, and if you encounter trouble, remember this, and remember your identity as the Daluo Dharma Sect Leader!"
"..."
Hu Ma listened feeling peculiar, instinctively sneering, but then suddenly paused.
He recalled that before the thirds-gen sacrificial, the Daluo Dharma Sect remained on the mountain, observing the world coldly, worshipping Tai Sui. He thought of how the ancestral master and the second-gen sacrificial conducted sacrifices to heaven and earth, organized Thirty-Six Ghost Caves, invited Reincarnators, guided the Ten Families, and then of the State Preceptor...
From observing the world, participating in the world, followed by "God," which initially seemed like a joke, but considering what they did, coupled with the dharma method left by Old Lord, many thoughts suddenly realized.
After a long time, he asked a surprising question: "What level is National Master Dongxuan?"
Calculation was instantly flustered: "Why do you think I'm qualified to evaluate someone like him?"
"I do understand why the State Preceptor always says his path has gone astray..."
Hu Ma, in reflection, pondered for a while and said: "He moved from observing the world, participating in the world, to reaching detachment from the world."
This suddenly brought clarity to his mind, and he abruptly looked up at Calculation, saying: "Pass this message to him; I believe the disciples of the Daluo Dharma Sect should be able to find him."
"Tell him I understand his current level, and also ask him on my behalf, we may not be on the same path, but as the previous main sacrificial, is it necessary for him to answer some questions for me?"
Calculation initially came to discuss some issues with Hu Ma, but Hu Ma's reaction now confused him, leading him to merely nod and take note.
After arranging with Calculation, he bid farewell to Miss Wu He, who claimed to be delivering messages from the Zhao Family but had been observing and cautiously caring for him over the past few days, showing her gratitude and trying to repay him as much as she could.
Yet now, she had joined the trickster sect and had to return.
Standing gracefully in front of Hu Ma, her expression seemed somewhat reluctant as she looked at him. Her red lips lightly trembled, cautiously asking: "Brother Hu, next time we meet, will we not be enemies?"
"If... if you need anything, you, you can come find me."
"..."
Seeing her cautious demeanor, Hu Ma also knew that these past few days she had sensed the conflicts between him and the Six Families, and had been contemplating future matters.
Looking at her face, he suddenly chuckled and said: "No need to worry, sister. I'm working for the people of the world, not against anyone."
"Besides, when you return, just deliver a message to Young Master Zhao for me."
"..."
Miss Wu He, hearing his instruction, was immediately excited, raising her head.
Hu Ma smiled and said: "Tell Zhao Sanyi to treat my Junior Sister well, otherwise I will tear down their Zhao Family's gate."
Miss Wu He listened, her eyes already wet, nodding vigorously, gently saluting as she reluctantly departed.
