Uncle Nine: I became Master Qianhe, and my fame resounded throughout the Daoist sect.

"What you two mean is..." Master Baihe looked at the two of them.

"Boss, wake Ma Linxiang up. Don't let him pretend to be dead. Let's attack together and wipe out the other side. This golden coffin will be enough for us to share!" Ah Hu whispered to Baihe Daoren.

"Yes, the burial goods are nice, but we don't even know if they'll be available. Compared to the coffin in front of us, this golden coffin is much more appealing!"

Ah Long echoed this sentiment.

Upon hearing this, Daoist Baihe fell into deep thought.

"If this coffin is divided, then we'll all be set for life..." Baihe Daoren thought to himself.

Seeing this coffin and considering the attire of the people opposite, it was clear that the Taoist priest named Qianhe was transporting a corpse.

These people were clearly from the Qing court.

Although they were unwilling to provoke the Qing court, if a war broke out and they were wiped out in one fell swoop, wouldn't it be possible to do so without anyone noticing?

However, he still considered the relative strengths of both sides.

Over here, he and his two men, along with Ma Linxiang, are capable fighters, as are the coffin bearers.

All told, he has eight capable fighters on his side!

Although the opposing side outnumbered them, the strategy was to capture the leader first; by taking down the child, they would gain the upper hand.

.....................

Having understood this, he nodded and said, "Go, knock on the coffin and get Ma Linxiang up!"

“Okay!” Ah Hu replied, then walked to the back and ordered the people to put the coffin down.

Meanwhile, Qianhe and three other experts from other realms had already stood up.

They had overheard their conversation long ago.

Needless to say, Chizuru made a move. Fine, if they make a move, then Chizuru will make a move too.

Doesn't this just do what he wanted?

They were already doing a mission, and now they have a reason to take action.

The three experts from other realms were people who could see in all directions and hear from all sides.

Although the voices on the other end were barely audible, they could still make out the sounds if they listened carefully.

They actually wanted to take their bronze horn and golden coffin and even kill them?

Haha, so funny.

They can't get by without some skills.

The seven ghost-chasing heroes who coveted their bronze horn and golden coffin are already dead.

"Hey, why are you standing up?" Minister Wu asked the three experts with a suspicious look on his face.

The foreign bodyguard with twin swords looked at the person opposite him with a forced smile, then explained to Minister Wu, "Manager Wu, they have their eyes on the bronze horn and golden coffin, and they covet it, attempting to steal it!"

“That’s right, they’ve already discussed how to attack us,” the double-hook expert added.

"What? How dare these bastards be so insolent?" Upon hearing this, Minister Wu's eyes widened as he glared angrily at the group opposite him.

"Take them down! Kill them!" Minister Wu glared fiercely at the other side.

The three experts nodded, already itching for a big fight.

.....................

Upon hearing these words, the Taoist Baihe on the opposite side already knew that their intentions had been exposed.

He immediately shouted, "Ma Linxiang, come out quickly!"

Ma Linxiang, who was inside the coffin, also heard the shouts. He immediately pushed open the coffin and leaped out like a cunning rabbit.

Upon seeing Ma Linxiang dressed in Qing Dynasty funeral clothes, Qianhe couldn't help but smile. "Playing dead, huh? I'll make sure you're a real dead man later!"

"East, South, West, and North!"

"exist!"

"Beat them to a pulp! I'll finish them off!"

"Yes, Master," the voices from all directions responded in unison.

Although they didn't understand the implications or the meaning of "finishing off," they still obediently followed orders.

Just obey your master's words.

They won't question it, nor will they ask it.

Qianhe looked at the four people and was secretly pleased: "Thank goodness it wasn't someone like Qiusheng or Wencai, otherwise I would definitely have expelled them from the sect!"

His apprentice made him feel at ease, and Chizuru was truly happy.

Chizuru decided to finish him off because he was unsure whether the reward counted as a kill by his apprentice, and to be on the safe side, he decided to deliver the final blow himself.

If his apprentice doesn't get a reward for killing someone, then he's doomed.

He was determined to obtain the Imperial Court Scripture!

"Haha, this golden coffin, they're really rich and powerful!" Ma Linxiang saw the bronze-cornered golden coffin as soon as he appeared.

"That's right! As long as we join forces and wipe them out completely, this golden coffin will be ours!" Daoist Baihe beamed with joy, his eyes blazing as he stared straight at the person opposite him.

Although the Qing soldiers on the other side were numerous, they were all like clay chickens and earthenware dogs.

On the other side, the only ones who could fight him were Southeast, Northwest, Chizuru, and three expert bodyguards.

"Haha, brilliant! Let's wipe them out in one fell swoop. First, let's go back and burn and melt down this bronze horn and golden coffin, then return to Majia Town!"

"Yes, very good, there is nothing more wonderful than this!" Daoist Baihe smiled broadly, then turned his gaze to the seven people opposite him.

Chizuru had already shielded the four cardinal directions in front of her, and at this moment, the seven of them stood like an indestructible fortress at the very front.

A gentle breeze blew by, lifting the hem of their clothes and ruffling their hair.

However, they remained steadfast and unmoved, standing there quietly like statues, silently awaiting the sounding of the battle horn.
