Twilight Boundary-Chapter 623 - 614 The Second Great Purge

No, our esteemed Young Master Hu shouldn't be someone who's never seen the world...

But people usually count Blood Food by "pieces," and if not, by jin. Ten jin, a hundred jin—that's a big deal.

So what's the meaning of you asking for thirty to fifty thousand jin right off the bat?

But before Hu Ma's thoughts could settle, he heard Monkey Wine continue, "Besides Blood Tai Sui, we also need to prepare more Golden Silk Tai Sui."

"Three to five hundred jin would be ideal, and a few thousand jin would make it even easier. Moreover, I've noticed that Old Master Yan had some decent things on him. Too bad you killed him."

"But if the Yan Family has a method to refine that thing, maybe I can find a way too..."

"..."

"What the hell..."

Everyone present initially thought Monkey Wine was too intense, but now they were a bit dumbfounded...

This guy must have gone completely mad, right?

No way! Besides Blood Tai Sui and Golden Silk Tai Sui, he's even eyeing Purple Tai Sui?

Hu Ma was also stunned by Monkey Wine's words.

But he was different from the others. They were seeing Monkey Wine for the first time and thought he was crazy, whereas Hu Ma already knew this guy was insane.

However, madness aside, his skills were exceptional.

And although his words sounded alarming, Hu Ma had no doubt he had thought them through carefully.

So after a brief contemplation, Hu Ma gritted his teeth and said, "I... I'll try to think of a way for you..."

"But you're asking for too much. I can't find that quantity immediately. How about I first give you about 10,000 jin to make do with?"

"..."

Having said this, even Hu Ma felt it was ridiculous.

The words "ten thousand jin" and "make do" could actually be used together? Such words could actually come out of my mouth?

"Fine," Monkey Wine replied calmly. "Just hurry up. I don't want to delay our progress because of this."

Hu Ma felt exhausted. "Alright then..."

Damn it, what kind of backgrounds do these two even have...?

Hearing Hu Ma agree, the others exploded into an uproar. "One dares to ask, and the other dares to give?"

"Seriously? Are there already Reincarnators this wealthy? Then why did we, back when we were acting as little sword-catchers, only get two Blood Food Pills each?"

"No wonder he's climbed to the level of a walking ghost in the Great Sword Catching Sect! Brother Old White, I won't say more, but are you looking to adopt a godson?"

"..."

"..."

Upon hearing the commotion, even Miss Red Wine was dumbfounded. "I was initially worried he wouldn't be able to command respect and couldn't handle being the General Captain. But now it seems I was overthinking things?"

"Leaving aside everything else, just this ability to procure vast amounts of Blood Food—who else can do that?"

"..."

"The pressure is indeed great, and time is tight. But as long as someone is working on it, there's always hope," Hu Ma sighed.

He also needed to quickly change the subject to stop his heart from aching over the Blood Food.

Just moments ago, he still held tens of thousands of jin of Blood Food and was guarding a Blood Food mine that was about to be harvested.

He even had the illusion that he had so much Blood Food he didn't know what to do with it all, to the point he didn't even feel like collecting the few thousand jin of Blood Food that Calculation owed him.

Who could have predicted that with a single request from Monkey Wine, his Blood Food supply would vanish, and he'd suddenly feel like he owed someone tens of thousands of jin?

As for the matter of contending for Destiny, we'll continue to push forward and lay the groundwork so we don't lose the initiative, he thought, then said aloud, "And finding the previous generation of Reincarnators is also very important. This gathering is a good opportunity for everyone to brainstorm."

"Additionally, although many companions came to this gathering, time is short, and there are likely many who couldn't make it. We also need people to continue searching for them."

"..."

Listening to his words, the chatter quieted as everyone seemed to be thinking.

"I can try to find the previous generation of Reincarnators." Amid the silence, someone spoke up. It was Floral Carving Wine from Huizhou.

His voice, tinged with contemplation, said, "I am a Dian Shen Fuling. I usually do not involve myself in the jianghu, but being beside the Hall God allows me to access some secret matters."

"I cannot speak in detail, but perhaps through a certain channel of the Hall God, I can find clues about them."

"..."

Hu Ma's heart stirred; Floral Carving Wine's words offered a glimmer of hope.

The Hall God had always been the most mysterious existence, and Dian Shen Fuling were rarely seen in the jianghu. Perhaps there truly was some unknown method.

"I will take on the task of notifying other Reincarnators, even finding those who prefer to stay hidden," Miss Red Wine spoke up. "Moreover, we can find a way to set up a platform to solve the problem of Reincarnators being too far apart and having difficulty communicating."

"Of course, the most important thing is to have someone help build psychological support for the Reincarnators. I can take on that responsibility as well."

"..."

"I can also help with contending for Destiny." At this moment, Dazed Donkey from Mengzhou suddenly spoke in a muffled voice, "Perhaps this help will be quite significant."

Everyone was curious. "Why?"

"Because I am now a grasshead king," Dazed Donkey's voice carried a strange note. "Of course, I don't know how it happened; I was inexplicably made a king..."

"?"

Everyone paused, then laughed. "Then why don't you just become the Emperor?"

"WHOA! Don't try to trap me!" Dazed Donkey hurriedly said. "The information left by the previous generation of Reincarnators clearly states: 'Know that making you Emperors would require too great a sacrifice.'"

"I've studied this line many times. Think about it—why would they say that?"

"This means that becoming Emperor would result in a huge loss! It's not that I don't want to experience having three palaces and six courtyards, but in this malevolent world, I won't take that risk. Besides, even though I'm just a grasshead king, whenever those commoners kowtow to me, I always get this strange feeling, like I'm being watched... It's almost making me depressed."

Everyone expressed understanding, as those present had all studied the words left by the previous generation of Reincarnators many times.

They had already grasped some of the hidden problems.

Thus, as they spoke one after another, many issues were indeed settled. However, as they talked, an inexplicable sense of unease still lingered in their hearts.

"All these minor matters can be arranged, but the biggest problem is the one Brother Monkey Wine mentioned at the start," East State Laozao Wine sighed. "Shangqiao—that's a tough one."

"Not everyone is so fierce as to recklessly attempt Shangqiao, get targeted by the Ten Surnames, and still dare to kill. But without doing Shangqiao, we'll ultimately be at a disadvantage against the Ten Surnames."

"..."

This statement plunged everyone into silence; it was indeed a very real problem.

And just then, Er Guotou, who had remained silent until now, suddenly began to speak slowly. "I was just about to talk about this.

"...Or rather, this isn't something I intended to say myself, but what Miss White Wine asked me to convey.

"Originally, she should have been the one representing Mingzhou here.

"But she said she discovered something important and had to leave urgently to verify a medicinal formula, so she asked me to bring this matter to your attention!"

Pausing slightly, he slowly continued, "She said that for Reincarnators to do Shangqiao, the key lies in the so-called 'immortal qi'..."

"Or, to put it another way, the Purple Tai Sui!" he added.

"This substance can conceal a Reincarnator's aura, so even if they undergo Shangqiao, they won't be identified."

"..."

"What?" Upon hearing his words, everyone was shocked.

Firstly, they had never heard of such a thing. Secondly, the news was truly exhilarating.

If the problem of being detected could be avoided, wouldn't that mean the Reincarnators had resolved a major worry?

Who knew how many Reincarnators already had the foundation to attempt Shangqiao but simply didn't dare to take that step?

If this was true, wouldn't it lead to a large number of Reincarnators attempting Shangqiao in a short period?

"That's exactly what she said. But she hasn't completely figured it out herself yet, so I'm even less sure how to describe it," Er Guotou said, his voice sullen.

"I did Shangqiao two months ago and found some Purple Tai Sui. I thought I was lucky at the time, but now I realize I got the order of things wrong.

"Of course, Purple Tai Sui is indeed infinitely useful. After consuming it, I've also noticed changes in my Lifebound Spirit Temple. I'll record these changes later and study them with Miss White Wine. We will then share the results with all of you."

"..."

"..."

"As expected! Coming out and interacting like this is indeed beneficial!"

Everyone was extremely excited, smiling and exclaiming, "When we're alone, we just go in circles over many problems, finding no clues, only feeling afraid."

"Now that we've met and discussed, it's clear that our fellow Reincarnators are full of talent, and many problems have been solved just like that!"

"Everyone, does anyone else have any more inspiring good news to share and boost our morale?"

"..."

As the atmosphere of the gathering lightened and hope for resolving many issues emerged, Hu Ma also felt a stir within him. Seeing that many matters had been discussed, he let out a soft sigh, knowing it was his turn to speak.

This news was too important and too shocking. If he had announced it at the very beginning, perhaps no other issues would have been discussed. Therefore, he waited until this moment to slowly say,

"Everyone, I have some information to share. However, what I have to say is not good news."

"..."

"Hmm?" The others were taken aback, their attention focusing on him. The cheerful chatter immediately quieted down.

Then, Hu Ma began to speak slowly, "The second great purge of Reincarnators is coming."

BOOM!

As these words left his mouth, a moment of dead silence fell among their Lifebound Spirit Temples, as if no one had processed what he said.

A few breaths later, the realization hit, and chaos erupted. "What the hell?!"

"Second purge? What purge?"

"Who wants to purge us? What methods do they have?"

"..."

"..."

Hu Ma, after a long pause, said in a low voice, "It's the Tongyin Meng Family and the Noble Zhang Family."

"I've received intelligence that these two families are jointly creating something called the Demon Detection Mirror. This artifact can reveal Reincarnators, making it impossible for any of us to continue hiding in the human world."
