They talked and talked until they finally went back to sleep around midnight. Suddenly, Hei Yang appeared in front of them and fell to the ground.

“Hei Yang, what’s wrong with you?” As Wu Ruo was about to help him, Hei Ying showed up and carried Hei Yang in his arm.

Hei Xuanyi took out a small elixir from his sleeve pocket and fed Hei Yang to take it and gave the rest of elixir to Hei Yin.

After taking the elixir, Hei Yang felt less painful and finally had strength to look up at Wu Ruo. He said with a weak voice, “there are 53 men in Sanglun’s group. They are scattered in a few families in the city. My ghosts and I went to kill them. But they are fully armed with Buddha weapons against us.”

As powerful as he was, normally even seven-level cultivators couldn’t be matches for him. But advanced Buddha weapons and runes could kill him.

Ghosts were born with being afraid of Buddha since ever because the Buddha light deterred ghosts.

It reminded Wu Ruo of the fear he had when he was harmed by Buddha weapon in last life. His body still trembled because of the fear.

Hei Xuanyi felt his tremble and cold hand, “why is your hand so cold?”

Wu Ruo held his hand tightly and shook his head.

“I will go to kill them with my men.” Numu roared.

Wu Ruo stopped him, “they might be vigilant since Xuanyi broke Ba Se’s penis. That’s why they prepare Buddha weapons in advance. It also means that they have guessed that we ruined Ba Se because Hei Yang went to kill them. If we go again, they might have prepared something even more awesome to fight against us or have left. Either possibility is at our advantage.”

As soon as he finished his talking, a ghost came to report, “Sanglun has left through a underground tunnel, we’ve lost their whereabouts.”

Numu was so outraged.

Hei Xuanyi told Hei Yin to send Hei Yang back to his room for rest and sent others to track down Sanglun.

“Sanglun is very cunny. It may not be easy to find them now.” Numu said.

Hei Xuanyi said, looking at him, “Ba Se is coming here soon.”

Numu soon understood what he was up to. He laughed, “you are right. how can I miss that? As long as we keep an eye on Ba Se, Sanglun will show up.”

“Master Shifu, it’s too late…”

Before Wu Ruo said more, Numu said smiling, “I am going now, leaving you two lovebirds alone.”

After he left, Wu Ruo asked, “Xuanyi, are you afraid of Buddha light and weapons like ghosts?”

“Why do you have such a question?” Hei Xuanyi frowned.

“Since you master ghosts or corpses, I am wondering if Buddha is your natural enemy.”

“No.”

Although Hei Xuanyi was pretty positive about it, Wu Ruo was still worried about it because of what had happened in last life. Buddha weapons were potential risks for them, which should be destroyed.

The next morning, Wu Ruo told guards and ghosts to buy Beast Hay. The more, the better. The best scenario was they would buy up all the Beast Hay in the entire country and transported all the Beast Hay to the Imperial City without being discovered.

Beast Hay was a kind of medical herb. Its effect was very limited so that only cultivators with pet monsters would buy some for their monsters. Since Beast Hay grew very fast as weed, it was very cheap. You could buy a large cart of it for only one tael of silver.

In just half a day, most of the backyard was packed with Beast Hay. Wu Ruo got very busy. The first thing in the morning he would do was to refine the Beast Hay and make other kinds of elixirs, and also made Mumu work with him.

They were insanely busy that people only could see them at dinner.

“Ruo, I understand why you want me to make elixirs. But why Beast Hay? How are you going to use it? Are you going to feed newborn monsters?” Numu gave it a thought, “is the big bird going to have a baby? Are you going to feed the babies?”

“Cuckoo is a male bird. He cannot give birth to baby birds.” Wu Ruo paused, “Master Shifu, I don’t know how to explain to you now. But you will know how when time comes.”

“Alright. Then I won’t ask again.”

Numu looked outside. They finally finished refining the Beast Hay that packed the most of the backyard. But now the yard was fully packed with more. What a hard work to do next!

Right at the moment, a gong sounded outside Hei Mansion. It kept gonging as if it was sending a message to the citizens.

“What’s wrong with the gong sound?”

Numu put down the herb in his hand and went outside the room to ask the guards.

The guard didn’t know what went on. He went outside the house and learned that the gong was informing the citizens that the Four Clan Festival was going to take place in three days and that all commoners shall keep distance to avoid dangers.
